Is it for travel, in classes and such?

Yeah it’s for in class but also at home. I just put it in my backpack I’m used to some heavy stuff in there. Super Light is better but not absolutely needed

And for in the classes it’s better if the laptop is not too loud

Mm. Gotcha.

What's your main workload, like specifically- what software, what games, etc

Browsing, word and stuff

vscode

unity

photoshop

simple premiere pro

taking notes

 

and for gaming

this is not really because I also have a pc but if I want to use the laptop stuff like gta. I don’t need high settings just that 60 FPS and don’t care about the graphic settings as long as they are not potato graphics and if possible maybe not so high frame rate assassins creed

Maybe take a look at dell's G3 lineup, those wouldn't be too bad.

Probably something like a 1650 and i5 with your budget

Yeah that’s an option in my budget but it’s also out of stock for me right now

any other suggestions? So I can also compare

I've heard good things about the battery in them. Dell tends to have okay power/temp management software so if you're just doing mundane tasks it should be fine. Under stress I'm sure it'll whir a fair bit

but what specs do you recommend so I can also look for some laptops on my own

Because I really think I am thinking of too high minimum specs

Just about what I've mentioned above. Anything with a dedicated gpu will have a hindrance on battery and silence- it's kinda the takeaway.

ram 8 or 16

gpu mx series or gtx and which one

 

etc etc

What processor you get doesnt *really* matter, as you'll just end up with the newest generations i5/i7 if you're buying a new system- assuming the systems are intel based.

 

A 1650 will give you more gaming performance, but something like an mx chip will use less energy. It's really up to you to see how you'll end up using the system
