I am an aspiring game developer, as in I am just starting on this. I have been using programs such as Unity, Maya, Mudbox and other programs with similar style, however my laptop often can't handle these programs without glitching or freezing way more often than it should. I am looking to buy a new laptop(can't go with a home PC because I am always moving). I need a laptop that can handle these kinds of tasks without a problem and that I could also play AAA games without a hitch. I do not care about battery life or size of the laptop and my budget is under 2000$. Anyone has any suggestions?

If you are buying from USA:
ASUS ROG Strix Scar Edition 17.3" Gaming Laptop, 8th-Gen 6-Core Intel Core i7-8750H Processor (Up to 3.9 GHz), GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB, 144 Hz 3 ms Display, 16 GB DDR4, 256 GB PCIe SSD + 1 TB SSHD - Newegg.com
This is a great choice. It has a good cooling system & isn't bulky like Alienware.

What is the risk of purchasing a used Netbook?

I need a netbook - 11inch screen- only for web browsing, reading articles, and some videos.

New Asus EEEBook is available for 14K on flipkart - Celeron Dual core.
Micromax, Iball, RDP with intel atom are available for 11K.

Used Asus EEBook and 2 year old Dell Netbooks are available in shops for only 6K. With 1 month working warranty.

So, What could go wrong with this purchase, except poor battery backup? Considering these have low end processors so usually people use these for light tasks only.

even web browsing demands 4gb ram these days if you want to keep open multiple tabs. and watching youtube videos will keep your processor @ 60%.

Don't bother gaming with MX110 or 920MX (unless you play 2014 or older games).

After that, 940MX << MX150 <<< GTX 1050

MX150 is a big jump over 940MX & can barely run all the current games, not futureproof at all. GTX 1050 is a big jump over MX150 & should run all games for the next 3 years or so.

Hold on to it for as long as possible because Intel is expected to launch new design processors free from Meltdown & Spectre bugs later this year.

I would like to know between 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8130U and AMD Ryzen 3 2200U which who will give more performance boost for day to day computing. No gaming but office work picture editing with GIMP, photoshop, ocr scanner for large documents + 500 pages and converting mobile HD 1080p videos to smaller size using wondershare filmora.
Do I need a graphics card ? I suppose 8 GB ram is nowadays minimum requirement.
Pls advise

Processor wise i3 8130u is better than 2200u & I think adobe products takes advantage of intel graphics more so overall it is a better option.

Laptop for daily use - Reports, presentations, casual coding, web browsing, watching videos
Budget 65k
Must have a good keyboard and display. Backlit keyboard preferred
i5 8th gen, 8G, 256 ssd
Portable and light, decent battery backup. I think 14" screen are a good size, but even other sizes are fine.
Must have good support for Linux. I'll remove any installed OS and put Linux.

guys was there a laptop sale i recent times? Like during the diwali /dussehra season? I see a lot of youtuber videos where people got 60k laptops for 40k during some sale or so in the past. I dont wanna buy a laptop and in a few days some season sale comes and the same laptop becomes available for cheaper. Thinking of buying ASUS S15 or X510... but ive been waiting for some sale for a pretty long time.. Should i wait or not. I have a laptop right now but battery is weak (battery is swollen actually) .. i can manage and survive with it but i do wanna get a new laptop in the Rs60k range.... Need a laptop i can take to work daily without needing an AC Adapter.

Most of the price cuts I have seen were on gaming laptops, especially ones with 1050Ti. Others get some price cut, but I don't think Asus S15 was going for 40k instead of 60k.

The ultrabooks get some decent price cut too, 70k ones go for 60k. So look at Asus Zenbook.

Next big sale should be around Christmas New Year.

 

[whitestar_999]

Biggest sales & most discounts are always during oct fk big billion/amazon great shopping so if possible wait for an year else new year/republic day/holi/independence day sales are there.
