Mr.Muffins

Can you upgrade the Lenovo Y540/Y740 battery? Or do you just have to live with it? I was wondering cause I read somewhere that you can "technically' upgrade any laptop battery. Is this true? I can't seem to find any info on this. (Or maybe, I'm just blind as a bat.)

This is sooo sad, I was looking up the Lenovo y740 this last weekend. I found out that Lenovo's website had a Black Friday sneak peak and guess what, they jacked up the prices on some of them. (Which is a very stupid move.) Hopefully Best Buy offers better deals...

As for Cyber Monday, which sites should I be looking for?

Aww man, thanks for the tip though ? @bondoao1 Went to my local Best Buy yesterday and asked when they start releasing their ads. He said the first week of November, but could be early as next week. (November starts next Friday) Also, does anyone know if Micro Center drop prices on laptops? Or do they just focus mostly on pc parts?

Nice. ? This my friend, is gold. Yes, I've been looking actually. I'm trying to have patience here as I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a used MSI GS65 2060 right now. I feel like I'll get a better deal on BF/CM, but it's a risk.

Thanks for the feedback man! Appreciate your honest reply about the performance and portability, I definitely agree about the weight. The MSI GS65 has an 82Whr battery and it's light, 4.14lbs to be exact. It's just the upgradability that's a pain in the butt. I'll put the ones you mention on my list as well, these are very similar to what I'm really looking for. Also, game wise; Destiny 2, ARK, Warframe and the one that'll eat up my GPU... Cyberpunk 2077.

Yeah, any slim laptop with an RTX 2060. If not, then a 1660 Ti should work fine for my needs. $1100 after taxes will be my limit.

Does anybody have any comments on these laptops? Should I or shouldn't I get one or the other?

Thanks for the feedback! Didn't know about those returns. I guess people just buy things because it's cheap, not because they need it.

(I apologize if this is in the wrong topic) It's my first time planning going to a Black Friday event. I won't be staying overnight outside the store, though I do want to know if I'll be able to find something good. Any tips, tricks, and suggestions? Should I be looking at something else if I don't find what I wanted in the first place? What are the best times when it's not really crowded? Are Cyber Mondays better than Black Fridays? Should I not go and wait for Cyber Monday instead? What's your experience with this?

Here are laptops I'm finding for under $1100 so far: ROG Zephyrus M GU502GV Lenovo Legion Y740 Acer Predator Triton 500 MSI GS65 Stealth I'm having a hard time making a choice, for whoever has info on these laptops, please leave a comment with your pros and cons about them.

If only my friend, if only... The LG Gram 13.3 is just under 3.6lbs (It's 2.13 lbs to be precise) So you prefer smaller laptops?

I need your help and feedback on this guys! ? I'm doing a study for a project based on what people like/dislike, what they think are pros/cons, and what they want in a laptop or not want in a tablet. So, what makes you cringe or excited when it comes to laptops and tablets? It can be anything from design to hardware, brand to portability, etc. Link any other information that you think might be helpful as well. And... GO!

Thanks for the lesson, appreciate the help.

@Princess Luna Thanks for the reply ? That's what I thought, lowering the resolution doesn't change the number of pixels which are always being utilized, correct? So in the end, if I don't fully use the 4K display, then it's better to just save some cash and go for a Full HD one?
