I recently picked up a Dell latitude 7280 with 16Gb ram and 256gb ssd for AUD$560. Its bloody great and gets the job done. Recently got a 500gb Samsung 960 Evo and can’t wait to install it
Buy Thinkpad laptop products for MAXIMUM productivity and performance!!
Review MSI Prestige P42 pls. thanks
Having trouble choosing one. Eyeing for the dell Inspiron 7472, but the lack of usb type c is quite troubling. In the near future(1-2 yr), what if type became the standard rather than the type A. I’m looking for a laptop in the lightweight side with a dedicated gpu. Doubting on the quality of the s line up of asus.
New HP Envy 13” 2-in-1 ?
What about my msi gs65? I love it.
once you’ve used 3:2 display on a laptop, there’s no turning back!
huawei’s Matebook X Pro is the best one overall.
the best DISPLAY (best quality & most importantly, the brightest).
the best KEYBOARD.
the best TOUCH PAD.
the best CHASSIS. (Macbook-like but better screen-to-body ratio).
the best SPEAKERS.
The Ryzen APUs with integrated VEGA seems to be among the very best of both worlds, being able to have a slim, cheap, yet gaming able ultra thin laptop is just gorgeous, and the possibility of pen enabled 2 in 1 of those, would be even better.
Asus Zenbook S
Where can you get the 4k display on the G7 I never see that option on dells site.
Hey Lisa, I’m am looking at getting a high end gaming laptop for college this year, I’m doing a diploma which will require a lot of rendering 3D models as well as testing and making video games, I’ll be doing this in conjunction with taking notes and gaming in my free time, which laptop do you recommend, I have been looking at the Razer Blade 15, msi gs65, gigabyte 15x and Alienware 15. The Razer is my favourite as it won’t stand out in a class full of Mac books but I’m really worried about quality control, obviously I’ll get a warranty from the company I buy from, which as I’m in the uk will most likely be Curry’s/PC world but I know Razer has relatively low stock so if my machine does break it may be weeks or even months before I can get a new machine. And gigabyte isn’t even sold in the uk so that may be off the table, but overall I am just looking for a recommendation for the laptop that will be the best for at least 2 years. (Oh and before I get a load of people in the comments saying go for the msi, just take into account that I would rather have to walk into the store with a broken keyboard or a screen that won’t turn on than a detached screen… because I had a friend with an older msi and within a year his laptop was basically the surface book 2 XD) sorry for the long comment. It may sound like I am leaning towards the Razer but in all honesty I’m at a loss to what laptop to choose
Why not the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro? It has the versatility of the XPS with its 8th gen i7 and dedicated AMD graphics, and is only $1299 in that configuration, hundreds less than most XPS configs. No one needs 4k resolution on a 13 or 15 inch, and the Samsungs 1080p display is gorgeous, almost as color accurate as the dells 4k
xiaomi announced Xiaomi Notebook Pro 2 with GTX 1050
Lisa, no acer aspire
Hey Lisa, I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the Matebook X Pro touchpad. What do you think about it?
What are you thoughts on the current deal for the 2017 surface pro i5 7300u, 8gb RAM, 128gb SSD for $799? (Including signature keyboard)
I like your vids they are pro keep up the good work
@MobileTechReview is it worth to buy 128gb i5 surface pro 2017 for 870$(tax included)? Thank you
ay, got that matebook x pro for back to school, watching this on it.
Lisa , HONESTLY , what laptop do you personally use ?
Do Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Do a review of the Aorus X7 DT V8.
Buying a laptop is a time consuming decision. Believe me guys, I have been looking at YouTube reviews, blogs and what not. This sounds funny but at one point this was actually part of my daily routine until I found my saviour. I am a student and that obviously means I was tight on budget. Most people were suggesting go for laptops worth a 1000 pounds and more but that is a big toll on pocket man. A reasonably good laptop which I ended up buying is Asus Vivo book slim. I am surprised its not included in the list above as it has 1000 pounds features in around 650. If anyone wants to check it out or something https://amzn.to/2Mlx19Z.
1k likes! Thanks Lisa! good video / Its allways great to give the best infos and your Profesional Reviews for students with some one of the best options on the market!
If you’re a serious student, get a new or used Thinkpad. It’ll last you a lot longer than a consumer machine.
Lenevo ideapad 720s??? ( i7 8th gen with mx150) at 840usd
I got excited reading the title “Back to school laptops” thinking it would recommend laptops for students! Forgot to mention “Private school students.”
How about laptops that most students can afford! Not dream about having. Please keep it real.
Can you do a review on Asus TUF FX 504 with gtx1060?
No funny t-shirt this time?
I think I will be looking at the XPS 13″ when my 2013 MacBook Air finally gives up the ghost.
My laptop is so outdated (2011) that it doesn’t support the software the college will be using. I bought my laptop 3 years ago for $120 that was already 4 years used. I now bought a Sager laptop with a loan for $1,950. Which comes with a I7 8750h, gtx 1070, 32GB ddr4 2600mhz, 1080p IPS panel with 94% NTSC, and 500GB m.2 SSD.
