    31-40k buying a laptop from facebook marketplace

    But you aren't a seller. I've made f2f deals using marketplace and olx and that was my advice which came from good and bad experiences. Most people give you a testing period if you insist.

    31-40k buying a laptop from facebook marketplace

    Run all tests, and ask him for minimum a 7 day testing warranty. Get that 7 days thing written and not just a verbal contract. If he's a certified seller then ask him where his base is. It's quite plausible he sells you and runs off. Take all precautions possible, if you can - disassemble the...

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    There's a blue light feature on windows and on almost all phones, it's where the screen is yellowed so as to counter all the blue light. This helps your body sleep and hence it's also called night light. Normally this feature is on the OS but on this particular laptop it's baked on the hardware...

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    Hi, it's been 2 weeks since I received it. I apologise I forgot to post the update. It is a 60HZ glossy screen, the OLED blacks are great and brightness is more than sufficient, I've tried HDR on some games and it's good enough. Do remember it's an OLED display so you will have to take care of...

    71-90K Laptop for a student who will study AI

    Wait for college to start and then decide a laptop. "AI" is such a weird term for laptop suggestions. It could range from needing a high VRAM gpu to a hyperthreaded 8+ core system or just more Tops in said CPU. It might need faster memory or just more memory.

    51-70k need a laptop for college (coding, light gaming) decent battery life, lightweight, bright panel.

    System 76 literally use Clevo chassis and mark up the price 2-3x. Framework I agree with. Here you can go for the Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5. 8845HS, good port selection, well built and a properly beautiful screen at a decent price.

    71-90K Laptop purchasing help.

    None of these are good enough, trust. Go either for LOQ Gen 8 or LOQ Gen 9 from Lenovo's website. https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=82XTCTO1WWIN1 (you can have 1 TB ssd for 2k more) Specs: CPU - Ryzen 5 7640HS (better than intel's 12th gen processors by a mile...

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    I did, there was a 5800hs vivobook 16x for 48k (after hagging with the rep) and a 7730u oled vivobook for 57k. The 7730u is effectively a 5800u hence I was more drawn towards the Zen 4 8840HS. In the US market I did find a Zenbook 14 oled with a 7840hs (basically the 8845hs with less AI gizmo)...

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    Certainly, for this price I really can't complain haha. I would've preferred upgradable ram, 1 more m.2 slot and a matte screen but deals like these don't come often hence had to go for it asap. The lenovo website is really great if one has the patience to dig through and mess with coupons.

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    Cost me 63k after all cashbacks and discounts. Exceeded my budget but had to future proof on RAM which forced the display upgrade. The zen 4 processor is much better than any 7730u or 5800hs and I felt like it was completely worth it. I used these following coupon codes: UNBOX35: 3.5k off (if...

    https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=83DBCTO1WWIN1 I'll be purchasing it end of this month so as to bargain a bit and bring the price down. Hopefully this isn't shared around so much that it becomes out of stock lol.

    41-50k College Laptop with light gaming - Team red only

    Hi, I found an absolute cracker of a deal while digging Lenovo's website. It's an ideapad slim with 8845hs, 16gb DDR5 (albeit soldered) for 62k. I think I'm gonna take that with student discount and maybe take 32gb ram instead.

    Hi I want to buy a laptop for college alongside building a gaming pc at home hence no need for a dgpu in the laptop itself: I'm willing to wait till july-August (if AMDs 8th gen CPUs become more mainstream in laptops) Usecase is coding, media consumption and light gaming (minecraft, f1)...

    I'm looking to buy the same laptop, how's your experience been? I'm split between this and an ASUS vivobook 16x (5800HS) https://www.amazon.in/ASUS-Vivobook-Windows-Backlit-M1603QA-MB712WS/dp/B0BH6QPVVF

    21-30k Any thoughts on this seemingly amazing laptop?

    Avoid 11th gen intel, they're more or less the same as 7th gen intel.

    71-90K Buy from India now or few months later from the US?

    Buying a 50 series GPU doesn't really make sense Thanks so much for the detailed reply, games like GTA/NFS/F1 don't require godly graphics to run them, any higher-end 20 series or lower end 30 series will do the trick if we're speaking Nvidia, but generally AMD GPUs tend to be more bang for the...
