Hi! I'm trying to buy a laptop mainly for work, but I will use it a lot for gaming too.
For work:
- I will use it for programs like Photoshop, After Effects, Animate, Premiere, Illustrator, inDesign, Maya, Blender, TVPaint, Krita, OpenToonz, Toon Boom Harmony and Storyboard, Unity, Unreal, etc.
- I was searching for something with a powerful CPU and GPU that can handle multitasking, rendering, animation etc
- Display quality is also important because I will draw on it and I need the colors, resolution and brightness to be good.
- I know that probably all of these laptops can support these programs, but I wanted to know which one is the most powerful and what you would reccomend.
For gaming:
- I don't know if these are powerful enough, because my budget isn't that high, but I wanted to play some newer games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield. I just want to know which one of these laptops is the most powerful and able to support more games out of them all.
- I have another laptop, it's not bad but it always overheats and as soon as I start a game the fans get very loud. I want to avoid this problem in the new laptop if possible.
The chart:
- I made a chart to compare between the laptops I'm choosing, but I can send the links if you need more info, I didn't put everything because it would be too much info and I think these are the most important specs (but tell me if I'm wrong)
- The colors of the CPU/GPU go from red (most powerful), yellow, green, blue (least powerful). Chosen according to notebookcheck.
Questions:
- I don't know what IP5 means for the Lenovo Legion display, is it not IPS? Which one has the best display out of all four laptops?
- Are they all good quality or is any of them known to have problems like overheating, loose hinges, display problems, trouble with fixing or upgrading components, etc?
- Some have a powerful GPU, but not the best CPU and viceversa. What should I prioritize for work and gaming?
Thank you so much for reading! These laptops are all very similar, at least to me, and I'm really having trouble deciding. I'm in a hurry too and have to decide between today and tomorrow, I'm a bit stressed lol
