            @Agret: Good find, but I already knew of that laptop. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade Stealth 13 is still nowhere near the ~850g of that Asus laptop.

            My current laptop is the X1 Carbon, a 14-inch laptop weighing 1.1KG due to the Carbon Fibre chassis. As you can see, I have a definite preference for lightweight laptops which still manage to get the work done effectively :)

        Acer Swift 5, ram isn't upgradable but SSD is. Would be nice to have 32gb ram but seems best you can get is 16gb on it. :(

        It's insane how light those things are, was working on one for a client and damnn I'm jealous.

          Honestly, I don't like the build quality of the Swift 5. It feels quite cheap since it's almost entirely made of plastic. The screen is also fairly low quality and wouldn't really work too well for anyone looking for anything except a budget gaming laptop which still packs in decent specs

          However, this is my opinion… Maybe some of you don't mind the plastic build quality, however, I'm been spoilt by my X1 Carbon and Macbook Pro haha

              @Fobsessive: In hindsight… I just realised my 1am brain thought we were talking about the Nitro 5

              The Swift 5 isn't actually a gaming laptop lol, I'm surprised no one picked up on that :)

              What I described was the Nitro 5, a laptop which is so cheaply made, the keyboard bends when you press on it

              The Swift 5 isn't particularly 'well-made' either tho lol. The build quality isn't the best, but the thing I said about the screen doesn't apply as harshly as it does for the Nitro 5 when discussing the Swift 5 instead

      14" should be big enough. This deal that keeps going in and out of stock at around $900 is what a lot of my uni mates are using. Touchscreen + pen + decent ram and cheap for the price. Otherwise, at the $1500 mark, you could look at a surface. My main recommendation is to try to future proof his schooling. What will he need next year? the year after? Sometimes it's better to plan ahead

      Edit: Prob an important point, I have a lenovo flex 5 (as above) and I can manage 8hrs easy with mid setting and brightness. On power saving mode around 11hrs

        Personally I'd wait out this M1 generation. The raving reviews leave out the reported pet peeves that remind me of Rosetta v1 in 2005: several peripherals not supported yet, occasional crashes in non-Apple tentpole software like Adobe, etc.

        Not saying the M1 is bad (it is excellent actually) but I would wait until they iron out the kinks.

    Lenovo IdeaPad S540 Pros:
    CPU from 4600u-4800u
    larger battery 56Wh vs E14's 45Wh
    Weight at ~1.2kg vs E14's ~1.6 kg

    Lenovo IdeaPad S540 Cons:
    pricier at ~$1000-1100
    soldered non-upgradable ram?
    soldered non-upgradable storage?

    Lenovo IdeaPad S540 Neutral:
    smaller screen at 13.3". Good or bad depends on user.

      isn't the storage on the S540 upgradable? I thought it was. Not sure though.
      s540 is much better in just about every aspect, except no DIMM slot. Just be sure to get the 16 GB version.

    So much for Black Friday when it cost more at $849.

    I ordered one of these, put 32GB 3200MHz SODIMM ($160 from Amazon) in the spare slot and now have 40GB RAM.

    Has teething problems if you want to put Linux on. Won't boot non UEFI (legacy), no BIOS options for that. Will boot UEFI with Secure Boot turned off.

    Avoid buying SATA SSD. SATA isn't listed as supported for this laptop.

    Lastly the position of the Fn key, to the left of the Ctrl key, is frustrating. You can swap the keys in the BIOS but the Fn key is small. Poor design choice but one you could get used to in time.

    • Homr on 15/12/2020 - 08:15

      • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2020 - 08:27

        Correct. But if you want value what do you choose, lots of memory at normal speed, or a little extra memory at double speed.

      • Stoz on 15/12/2020 - 12:45
        +1

        My understanding is that for any computers within about the last 10 years they are still able to operate dual-channel with mis-matched RAM sizes but only the matching size will be dual-channel. That is, in this specific situation, you would end up with 16GB operating dual-channel and 24GB operating single-channel.

        • Homr on 15/12/2020 - 15:38

          oh ok, that's good to know.

          So what if this had a combination of 16gb + 32gb = 48gb ram

          Will 32gb be dual channel and 16gb be single channel?

      Yeah but the old models are warmed over CPUs (even if they are marketed as '10th gen'). Its basically the same CPU as a 2017-era thinkpad i.e. X1 Carbon 6th gen basically performs the same as X1 Carbon 8th gen. That's 3 years with basically a low single digit % bump in performance lol.

      The new models will whoop CPU/iGPU ass, even if its 'only 1 generation' its a totally new processor architecture and node shrink as well

      • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2020 - 11:33

        Yep, pretty much the same opinion I came to. I was hoping the newer models would lower the price of the older models but ended up not being able to wait and ordered an X1 Yoga gen4 with i5-8265 ($1900 with 16gb ram, 512gb SSD it)

        Battery life on these is still pretty decent (and way better than my surface pro 3 it replaced), which is the only other benefit I was really hoping for with newer CPUs

        Decent machine - I reckon this will serve me well over the next few years
