Thanks, I know that an i5 is more powerful. But the fact that intel handles photoshop better is quite interesting though. But my budget you see, is not really accepting an i5. It would be a huge help for me if you (or anyone else) could tell me, which can do the job better: R5-2400G + 16GB ram with igpu, or the i3-8100 + 8GB ram with 1050ti (price difference between a regular 1050 and a 1050Ti is very low here, so I opted for the Ti)

That's exactly my problem! I came here hoping to find the answer....

Hello, I am looking forward to building a new PC for myself. I'll mainly do Illustrator, Photoshop and some lite blender modelling. Even if I game, it'll be low 1080p but that's not my main focus. I am from Bangladesh, very few parts actually ship here. I can't decide whether to go for- 1. An i3-8100 on Gigabyte B360M DS3H paired with 1050Ti OC - 4GB and Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz 4GBx2 which in total would cost me 43500BDT or 2. A Ryzen 5 2400g on Gigabyte B450M DS3H with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz 8GBx2 which in total would cost me 39500BDT. (no 3200MHz 4GB sticks available here.) Now can anyone help me choose? I may upgrade my build with a 1060 6gb a few months later.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm from Bangladesh. Good used laptops are rarely available here, so prefer new. Preferred Display size 14inch to 15inch, not more thick than 1 inch. Min Battery 5hrs plus on web browsing would be good enough. Weight above 2.5 kilos will be too much. The most popular computer retailer here is Ryans Computers. I will probably go with this latitude 3490. The thinkpad style really doesn't suit my dad. Still, It's still a good option. I'll keep the Lenovo ThinkPad E580 as a close second choice. As said above, I might go with the Dell Latitude 3490 or the Thinkpad E580. But the latitude comes in more price but with less ram, so I'll ask my dad first if he likes the Thinkpad style, If yes, then it's great. But doesn't the thinkpad run hot? I didn't find any air vents.

Hi guys, this is my first post here. Well, I'm looking for a new laptop for my dad. Let's start with what we have. He's been using a Lenovo Business laptop (forgot the model, can tell later, but it costed around 550$ back then) since early 2007. And it really is a very impressive laptop. Sure, it still runs windows XP and some other outdated softwares, but it's 4gb ram is still "Okay" for web browsing, E-mailing and document typing. Through this 11+ years, we've never encountered any hardware issues with it. Just some scuffs on the plastic. The display, trackpad and keyboard are still in very usable condition. But now I am looking for a performance upgrade to that. So can anyone please recommend some 7th or 8th gen laptop which have good build quality costing 500 to 700 US Dollars? Is Lenovo still a good option?
