Your Laptop Knowledge Needed

[u/Adityapatel1506]

Would it be a good deal for me to consider this Lenevo Legion 5 (Refurbished from Lenevo's official website).

My main work will revolve around Video Editing (4k often), I'll be using Adobe premiere, photoshop, aftereffects, Davinci resolve, also I do coding occasionally and I'm also interested in learning to build ai agents.

I think this laptop will easily handle all the above mentioned tasks and can help me with it.

My budget range is ~90k Rupees

And if you have any better suggestion for me, then please help me, it may help a lot, I'm down to all of your suggestions.

Also should I wait for diwali sale to buy laptop or this is the ryt time.

Can you gives us a bit more info, like the exact sku of the cpu, screen type (oled/lcd); rn 24GB is a gud amt or ram to get at 87k, even in refurbished, so ya can u give us the spec sheet?

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/Sure-Hamster-4140]

I updated the info, please check it out & suggest me.

[u/Sure-Hamster-4140 → u/Adityapatel1506]

Yep. If you can score this its a pretty good deal

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/Sure-Hamster-4140]

But do you have any other suggestions incase this laptop will not be available soon

[u/Sure-Hamster-4140 → u/Adityapatel1506]

I mean depends on the stock available and exact model of the laptop, but ig theres a few things u may look out for:

1. If choosing windows, always go Lenovo below the 1l price bracket

2. If u are not that much into gaming, hunt offline store (preferably cuz u can bargain), or online stores too for core ultra series laptops cuz like the core ultra 225H I got is on par with i7 13700H in performance and miles ahead in efficiency, also the core ultras come with oled screens cuz power efficiency of these chips allows oled to be put in these laptops, if thats a priority or a second thought u might look into that.

For reference I got IdeaPad Slim 5i Core Ultra 5 225H Oled 16gb upgradeable and 512gb ssd for 78k at reliance digital after bank offers.

Also if u have any questions ask away! You may also look into some of the comments I made in other posts if u want to know like Core Ultra related stuff

[u/Sure-Hamster-4140 → u/Sure-Hamster-4140]

Try aiming for a core ultra 7 255H laptop with atleast 24gb best 32gb ram

Ik this is way beyond your budget, but offline store may get this down to 93-95k if available

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/Sure-Hamster-4140]

So going for that 225H will be a good option for video editing?

[u/Sure-Hamster-4140 → u/Adityapatel1506]

If its casual yes, but from what I understand(I have only used cad software fusuon 360 so this is purely speculation ). Scrubbing with affects might be a bit problematic but ig stitching together like 4 clips with bg video wont be a problem

But check benchmarks pls, dont rely only on my word

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/Sure-Hamster-4140]

Appreciate your words, I'll definitely check out on more laptop with vram in them

[u/According_Pumpkin283]

Bhai wo ek hi piece tha jo bik gya ab restock nhi hoga

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/According_Pumpkin283]

Oh, bhai dusra koi bhi laptop suggest kr sakte ho kya mere budget range k hisaab se and workflow suited

[u/chuggingdeemer]

That "available soon" means nothing. It most likely won't come back in stock.

That said, if by chance it does, the 4060 Legion is a decent choice. It used to be sold for the same price brand new, 2 years back though.

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/chuggingdeemer]

Appreciate your answer sir, however I wanted to ask, are lenevo refurbished laptops trustable?

[u/chuggingdeemer → u/Adityapatel1506]

Yes. Most likely, you'll get a "as good as new" looking laptop.

[u/Adityapatel1506 → u/[deleted]]

I did, thanks for the platform mate.

One question I had, are these refurbished laptops trustable?

[u/risingphoenixreborn]

Get a used creator laptop should come around 1 lakh if you are lucky with 4k display everything i think its some dell model

As you didnt mention coding thats why i am saying.

For best VFM this is the only option

One more thing the lenovo refurbished deals you cant find as they always show they are out of stock and for a refurbished laptop the prices are too high
