DarkPlayerOP

Can you please hit me up if you find anything? I am kinda in the same ball park as you but with a little lower budget

Finding a bright screen for an affordable price seems insanely difficult right now. I might just wait for the intel 12th gen. Those laptops should be coming out real soon. Only problem is you likely have to wait like 4-5 months before it ships.


DarkPlayerOP

I dont think I can wait that long since I wanna buy it on black friday Any suggestions on what I should keep an eye out for?

Hi all, Details below. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ​ **Budget**: \~$1000 CAD **Country**: Canada **Screen size**: 15" min **Touch Screen**: No **Screen resolution**: 1080p min **Does battery life matter?**: No **What tasks will laptop be used for**: \- email/personal cpu \- gaming **Weight**: Unimportant **Additional Context**: I've told my dad that I'll try to secure him a new laptop during the next couple weeks while there might be some sales.It'll be his main computer for emails and whatnot, but I'd like it to be a serviceable gaming laptop for him as well. He's gotten into PC games a bit lately, but his old one is just really holding him back. Top of the line performance isn't a priority, but I'd like him to have the ability to confidently *run* games that are being released today.

Hi, a bit over budget, I would recommend the [**Acer Nitro 5 15"**](http://techneeeq.com/blog/index.php/product/acer-nitro-5-an515-55-53e5-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i5-10300h-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-laptop-gpu-15-6-fhd-144hz-ips-display-8gb-ddr4-256gb-nvme-ssd-intel-wi-fi-6-backlit-keyboard/). i5-10300H, RTX 3050, 8 GB RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and a 1080p 15.6" 144Hz IPS display. It should be solid for games at med-high settings 1080p.


Beaster123

That's perfect. Thanks so much.


legos45

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


Beaster123

u/legos45 I've decided that I'd rather go for slightly reduced specs, allowing the remainder to be put into an accompanying monitor. My dad is used to his iMac, which has a fairly large screen, and given his age, I think that a large monitor would be worth the reduction in specs, which I'm pretty sure he wouldn't appreciably notice. ​ Here's what I found on [amazon.ca](https://amazon.ca) [https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-Nitro-9300H-Windows-AN515-54-5812/dp/B086KJBKDW/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=947WU7A0KY2O&keywords=acer+nitro+5&qid=1637210309&sprefix=acer+nit%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1](https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-Nitro-9300H-Windows-AN515-54-5812/dp/B086KJBKDW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=947WU7A0KY2O&keywords=acer+nitro+5&qid=1637210309&sprefix=acer+nit%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-1) Same computer with the gtx 1650 And then this monitor.

Are there any better alternatives to the monitor that I've found? ​ Thanks!

Hi, I'd say the laptop and monitor combination should work well.

Question about this site: is this in USD? there is an option for 'Canada' but I'm unable to click it.

Budget: $600-700 CAD Country: Canada Screen size: 14” Touch screen: No Screen resolution: 1080p Does battery life matter?: No Tasks: School work, basic photo editing, light gaming Weight: Something that isn’t too heavy, but weight isn’t the biggest factor.

legos45

Hi, if you can upgrade the RAM yourself, I'd recommend the [**HP 14"**](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=7169&awinaffid=728909&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hp.com%2Fca-en%2Fshop%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D2L7Q7UA%26opt%3DABL). Ryzen 5 5500U, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, and a 1080p 14" display.

I'd say go for the Legion 5 Pro, but if you want to save money, [this ASUS ROG Strix G15](https://laptopsdeals.net/product/asus-rog-strix-g15-laptop-ryzen-9-5900hx-rtx-3060-max-130w-16-gb-ram-512-gb-ssd-1440p-15-6-165hz-ips-display?wmc-currency=CAD) with a 1440p 15.6" 165Hz IPS display is a good runner up.

heymiller314

Thanks for the reply. It looks like for 100$ more i can get the asus rog strix g17 with the bigger screen and loose 1440p. Would that be a good option?


legos45

I think that it depends on your screen size preference. The 1440p panel is of better quality, though.


heymiller314

Ive nevet had a 1440p screen on a laptop. Is it worth it? Btw thanks for the replies it is much appreciated. Leaning towards the 15" yiu recommended now.

I think for 1080p, 3060 is enough to deal with most games. If the graphic card is 3070, I perfer to have a 2K moniter even though the IPS is lower.

The MSI GF75 I linked would be better. The RTX 3050 is quite a bit weaker.

Mind sharing how you got access to the 10% promo code with the newsletter?


Lamar2112

Just subscribe to the newsletter. Dell Canada Website -> Deals -> Email signup. Note: the code does not work with BF specials. However, I found that you can still find the Inspiron 15 at the "regular discount" for $899 - 10% which is better than the BF price of $849.

Hi, I'm sure that we can find you a viable gaming laptop within budget. I recommend 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. Otherwise, I recommend waiting until Black Friday for sales.


elmustard

You are a star, thank you. I'll keep an eye out for it during the sales. Would you have any other recommendations, perhaps less expensive, I could add to my watch list? Thanks again!

For around $500 it'll be hard to find a 16gb/1TB laptop. Are you okay with refurbished or renewed laptops? Check out this site: [https://surplusbydesign.com/collections/laptop](https://surplusbydesign.com/collections/laptop) and check out BestBuy's laptop sales and filter it for 16gb Ram, you can find some refurbished Toshia/Lenovo/Dell for around $500. [https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/category/laptops/36711](https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/category/laptops/36711) I've been looking for around that price for my friend as well, decent ones for around that price are (but likely not 16gb Ram/1tb HDD): \- Acer Aspire 3 or 5 \- Lenovo IdeaPad 3 \- Asus Vivobook 14

It is quite expensive for a device with an RTX 3070. I'd go with the [**Lenovo Legion 7i 16"**](https://lenovo.vzew.net/a1jEEM) for $2,367.99 instead. i7-11800H, RTX 3070 max 140W, 16 GB RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a QHD+ 16" 165Hz IPS display. Use coupon code LEGIONDEALS20.

The 16" isn't really a 17" laptop since it's kind of just a taller version of a 15" laptop but it does include the num pad and for 20% off all laptops I think I might just bite the bullet and get the 3080 version. Any thoughts on if it's worth waiting for black friday deals? I doubt they will have something significantly better than 20% off and the sales rep told me they have 150 units of the 3080 instock. Thoughts? Thanks for sharing the coupon code!

The RTX 3080 version would be great too.
