I’m 31, and not the most tech savvy dude out there, I’m seeking advice on what laptop to buy. I am normally a Microsoft OS guy, my budget is $800-$1100. Here are some of the things I care about;
- I am a gamer, but primarily console, it would be nice to be able to have a decent “gaming” laptop if they are worth it in my price range, this isn’t a deal breaker
-I am also into creating art, touchscreen with the ability to use procreate or some other drawing software would be dope, also not a deal breaker
-I don’t care for apple products
-windows OS preferred
-the ability to go from laptop to tablet is sick
-don’t care about size of screen really, I do like a nice picture though, not into cheaping out on the screen
-don’t care about brand, I’ve had acers, Hewlitt Packards, and compaqs back when those were a thing. Hate my current MacBook pro.
-quality over everything, I just want a good product thats going to last me a while
Any help with this purchase would be super duper appreciated! Much love everyone.
It’s discrete gpu. Equivalent of video card that PC usually use. Laptops have integrated gpu and some of them have discrete gpu too. Integrated uses less power, and have less performance but it’s enough for basic tasks or light gaming. As for dGPU, it uses more power, needs better cooling systems and gives better gaming performance. 2-in-1 laptops is still laptops and you will use it like a laptop ~ 80% of time. There is some laptops like Microsoft Surface with keyboard attachment but modern models are hella expensive. Yes, those laptops runs windows 11. As for android - there is none. But 2-in-1 chromebooks exists and they are quite interesting if you mostly draw, do paperwork, notes, watch youtube, etc simple tasks. They usually support usf styluses and have quite good battery life. But still choise must depend on software you get used to and use every day
