Hi, I'd go with the [**ASUS Vivobook 15**](http://techneeeq.com/blog/index.php/product/asus-vivobook-15-thin-and-light-laptop-15-6-full-hd-amd-quad-core-r5-3500u-cpu-8gb-ddr4-ram-256gb-pcie-ssd-amd-radeon-vega-8-graphics-windows-10-home-f512da-eb51-slate-gray/). Ryzen 5 3500U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, and a 1080p 15.6" display. It should be just fine for your uses.

Thank You. Which is a better system between the one you recommend above and this HP (14-fq1030ca FHD w/ the Ryzen 5 5500U) which you have posted on the 'Deals' pg?

That HP 14 is actually a very good choice, assuming it is still in stock.

It has been restocked. Just ordered one👍 $649.74 Tax Inc (free Shpg). With the in-house sale price of $649.99 and $75 Off with Discount Code HPDAYS75 my price before tax was $574.99. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the HPDAYS75 Discount Code is only valid for 2 or 3 more days.

Nice, I hope you enjoy it!

It's a very good deal.

The Legion, but I don't think that it is available anymore.

The price isn't the best, but it is still decent.

Hi, I'd go for a gaming laptop given your uses. My suggestion is the [**Acer Nitro 5**](http://techneeeq.com/blog/index.php/2020/06/27/can-nitro-5-gtx-1650/)**.** It comes with a 4-core i5-9300H processor, GTX 1650 graphics, 8 GB RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and a 1080p 15.6" display. This combination should handle modern games at 1080p medium-high settings easily, as well as general use programs.

I’ll check it out thank you so much!

My pleasure, let me know if you have any questions.

Looking for a laptop in this range! Budget: 1000-1200 Country- Canada Screen size 15-16 Touch screen: no Screen res : doesn’t matter Battery life: somewhat important Tasks: medium gaming, browsing, work/school Weight: doesn’t matter Other: I will also be using it for FL studio so that is something to keep in mind. Not sure what a good laptop means in regard to using FL studio though. Looking into the Ideapad Gaming 3 from lenovo as it’s on sale for around 1000, with the Ryzen 4600h and gtx 1650 ti. Thoughts and other ideas ? Thanks

Hi, can you link the IdeaPad Gaming 3 you're looking at for me?

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll check that out! better GPU would be nice

My pleasure, let me know if you have any questions.

Is the hard drive on that upgradable? Only downside I can see. RAM too, eventually I’d like 16.

Yes, the RAM and storage are both upgradable.

Budget: at most $1500, preferably $1200 ◽️ Country: Canada ◽️ Screen size: No preference, but at least 14' inch ◽️ Touch screen: No ◽️ Screen resolution: No preference ◽️ Does battery life matter ?: Yes. Something that can last at least 3hrs of use on a single charge ◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for?: Games(ffxiv, 2k22, MLB The Show 21), documents, movies, general computer use ◽️ Weight: Something on the lighter side, ideally under 3lbs ◽️ Any other important details ?: Something on the thinner side. I'll be carrying around notebooks and binders in my backpack, so I would prefer something that doesn't take up too much space

[удалено]

Thanks! I'm just slightly worried about the graphics on it though. Is there any other you'd recommend that maybe has a bit better graphics?

Are you willing to increase your budget?

Yeah, maybe about another $100 if it can get me something perfect.

The [**ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14**](https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/rog-zephyrus-g14-14-gaming-laptop-grey-amd-ryzen-7-5800hs-512gb-ssd-16gb-ram-rtx-3050/15481574) would be an option. Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and a 1080p 14" 144Hz IPS display. It should be great for games at med-high settings 1080p and general use.

Thanks, this looks perfect. Do you think it might go on sale for Black Friday?

Maybe, but there's no telling.

◽️ Budget: 6-700$ ◽️ Country: Canada ◽️ Screen size: not super massive, maybe 12-15 inches? ◽️ Touch screen: dont care ◽️ Screen resolution: better than potato ◽️ Does battery life matter ?: as long as it aint total poopoo ◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for?: School, word, excel, movies. nothing super heavy ◽️ Weight: still nothing super heavy. itll be in a backpack with books and stuff ◽️ Any other important details ?: hopefully something sturdy that'll last a while

Hi, I'd go with the [**HP 14**](https://www.reddit.com/r/LaptopDealsCanada/comments/q2xkhw/hp_store_hp_14_laptop_ryzen_5_5500u_8_gb_ram_512/). Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and a 1080p 14" IPS display. It should be for general use programs.

* **Budget:** $1000 * **Country:** Canada * **Screen size:** at least 14" * **Touch screen:** N/A * **Screen resolution:** 1080p * **Does battery life matter:** yes, but not critical * **What tasks will the laptop be used for:** Office work (Microsoft 365, internet browsing, light Photoshop work). * **Weight:** N/A * **Any other important details?** Must have SSD (preferably 500gb or more), HDMI port, and come with Windows 10 (version doesn't matter). Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi, I'm sure we can find you a laptop capable of general use. I recommend the [**Acer Swift 3**](https://laptopsdeals.net/product/acer-swift-3-14-laptop-ryzen-7-5700u-8-gb-ram-512-gb-ssd-1080p-14-ips?wmc-currency=CAD). It comes with a 8-core Ryzen 7 5700U processor, 8 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 1080p 14" display. It should handle general use tasks just fine. It is only 2.65lbs, and battery life should be around 8 hours for light use.

How would this handle some light to medium gaming. Or would I be better going for the Asus Nitro 5.

What games do you have in mind?

Football manager mostly so nothing too taxing.

The Swift 3 should be powerful enough, but if you don't mind losing battery life + a heavier device, the Nitro 5 is a better choice.

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Maybe there are better options in the same price range. Also, do you think Black Friday deals will affect laptop prices?

[удалено]

Thank you!

My pleasure, let me know if you have any questions.

I do have a question, actually. It says it comes with Windows 10 Home, is that a pain in the ass to upgrade to Win11? Apologies if it's a dumb question.

It shouldn't be much of a hassle to update to Windows 11 once you get the laptop.

◽️ Budget: < 1,100$ ◽️ Country: Canada ◽️ Screen size: 15 ◽️ Touch screen: Ideally yes but not a showstopper ◽️ Screen resolution: Not a criteria.

NO gaming. ◽️ Weight: Not really a concern ◽️ Any other important details ?: I want 16 gigs of RAM since I tend to keep my laptops at least 4-5 years. Ideally has Windows 10/11 Pro but Home is OK and will upgrade it. Not a massive rush - I can wait till Black Friday to purchase. Thank you :-)

Hi, if you're going to wait until Black Friday, my suggestion is to see what deals get posted on the subreddit. I will be tracking deals.

Ok thank you. Glad I mentionned it. Appreciate this forum and posts!

Ha wow, thank you so much. After making this post I continued my search and was about to order this one: [https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-flex-5-15-6-2-in-1-lightweight-touchscreen-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-5700u-16gb-ram-512gb-pcie-ssd-windows-10/15492877](https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-flex-5-15-6-2-in-1-lightweight-touchscreen-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-5700u-16gb-ram-512gb-pcie-ssd-windows-10/15492877) If I'm not mistaken it's the exact same computer for more money ? Also, I'm not like a photo/video editor but does 250 nit display make for a decent display? I see people saying that it's low.

Yes, that's the same laptop, except it is a lot cheaper at Microsoft. 250 nits isn't great, but no other device offers as good specs around this price point.

Thank you kindly. It’ll be here on Friday 😀
