Battery life can be pretty poor on the G5 depending on specific model and it's not something you'd lug to lectures etc.

At this price, and with uni as a focus, I would be prioritising good battery life, portability, screen, silent running and productivity over gaming. Also cheaper gaming laptops often require the proprietary power supply and won't always charge from USB C power banks etc. If Gaming then...

Yer, nostalgia isn't what it used to be. I've found this got boring pretty quickly for me too. Haven't bothered with the last couple of episodes.

Quite often gaming laptops will never have a totally silent mode whereas workstations and business laptops do etc. Maybe this isn't important to you but for me zero or nominal fan noise during regular operation is paramount. When under heavy productivity load the Legions I have tried have been...

I would go with the Legion 5 Slim out of those 2 and in the right spec they are great (screen, weight, battery life) but seems to be lots of variations on spec at mo depending on exact model and release date. Assuming productivity focused however, I wouldn't necessarily go for either but...

@reddeathdrinker I would say you are quite a lot overpriced. As a gaming focused laptop with only an 11th Gen i5 and 3050 the ram and disk capacity is less important than the graphics and cpu. You can get a 12/13th gen with rtx4050 (notably quicker than 3050) for £600-700 new at the mo. On...

I like having 4k as an option plus as on the old pricing tariff so, it's not much of a saving.

Yep 1440p on browser but given I'm on a 14" screen with the SGB4P or 13" if using my SP9 using Ultra Rtx settings, I haven't found anything looks poor. Equally, I do have the pc windows app downloaded but find battery life better on browser when not plugged in. GFN is worth it just to run X4...

In theory, the future 'console' is simply a games pass or subscription, controller and a fully digital cloud based experience. In Q1 2024, there is no longer any need for a physical console, let alone game disc. However, I suspect that the desire to have a physical console will still remain...

Did you ever resolve your conundrum @Haggisman also @Mercutio Now is a great time to buy as the 2024 laptops are mostly out and some great sales on 2023 with RTX4070/80. Gaming bargain of the moment is the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 15.6" Gaming Laptop (FA507XI-LP013W) - AMD Ryzen 9, RTX 4070, 512 GB...

My comment on the memory config was vendor pre config device model specific which I should have qualified eg Asus weren't offering 32GB on Ultra 7 only on Ultra 9 for some of the models. More models are becoming available as the days go on. HP Spectre Ultra 7 models are slowly moving from pre...

There weren't really any genuinely close Windows counterparts to Macbook Airs until last year. If you'd said Macbook Pro then maybe a broader segment. The performance, screen, battery life, silent running, weight, form and size of the MBA has consistently pulled ahead of Windows offerings...

The equivalent Dell xps' are £2.3k to £3k specced up with the 3k touchscreen and Ultra processors etc. Doesn't mean they aren't good but have priced themselves out. New Surface 10 Pro / Laptop 6 with the Intel Ultra 7/9 look nice and will be the ones to beat but aren't out yet. Current gen...

@Rexxar @agw_01 Dell are way behind this year's offerings from other manufacturers. For a Macbook Air Windows counterpart with slim, light, portable and battery life then: Imo the Dell xps 13/14 / Lattitudes with the Intel Ultra 7 and 2.8/3k touch screen are double the price of the Asus 13 or...

Rip @Murf and condolences to friends and family.

If that is a legitimate C Strauss with sconces then in perfect condition it would be worth a reasonable amount due to popularity and sentimental value. With restoration needed, which it needs and which would exceed the value of the piano, it's firewood. However, with all of these things, it...

Surface laptop or pro dont really hit the creative productivity element here and until the next gen still use the low power 12th gen 1255u i7. My surface pro is brilliant, screen is sublime etc but it's not a counterpart for the performance of the xps15 in question, not even close. What it...

The 50w TGP on the Dell makes the 4070 perform worse than 4060 laptops with higher wTGP and close to a 4050. The Xps is a nice portable chassis but there are loads of slim, light, decent battery gaming/productivity laptops this year. I totally get your productivity requirements here though &...

Currently global box office at $367.5m after 10 days. USA only opening was $82.5m. International totals are being quite slow to update. Pretty good in the current cinema climate. Tracking significantly better than the first one which closed on $434m, although it was out for months. To put in...

Isn't yours the highest bid on this though...? Think everyone else went below. Hollow victory :D
