  • Which Laptop is the Best for Photographers?

    Which Laptop is the Best for Photographers?

    If you’re a photographer, or an aspiring photographer, you’re certainly going to be using photo editing software. You’re also going to want that software to be accessible on the go, so you can edit while you’re shooting. With that in mind, the photographer’s best friend is their laptop. Which laptop is the best for editing on the go? Read on to find out our favorites! 

    Dell XPS 15 

    Dell’s XPS 15 is a great non-Apple choice for photographers. If you want a laptop that excels for photo editing and runs on Windows, this one is a great choice. It sports InfinityEdge technology, meaning it has a huge screen size for how small of a machine it is. Its display is color-accurate and has a 4K resolution, meaning your photos will look accurate while you’re editing.  

    The XPS 15 is a bit expensive, although that’s par the course for laptops with displays strong enough for photo editing. It retails for around $1,000, but you can often find it on sale for around $750. Consider this one if you heavily prefer Windows over Mac OS. 

    Apple Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina 

    Unsurprisingly, Apple’s flagship laptop remains a fantastic choice for photographers. If you needed any reminders: Retina display is amazing, the battery life is great, and Mac OS was made with content creators in mind. Unsurprisingly, the Retina display remains the best laptop display on the market. With the best colors, contrast and saturation available on a laptop, you won’t be disappointed in this choice. 

    On the negative side, the Macbook is pretty expensive no matter where you go. It can be found anywhere from $900-$1,000, depending on sales and the like. It also doesn’t have a great deal of storage, which is a bit disappointing for photographers. That said, this is still a great pick. 

    Our Favorite Laptop for Photography: Apple Macbook Pro with Touchbar

    The step up from the older Macbooks, this new one sports the handy new touchbar technology. The touchbar is an OLED display above the keyboard that allows for quick access to tons of shortcuts. The toucbar has a number of applications across the OS, like suggested word selection and scrolling. The great use for photographers is the shortcuts in Photoshop, making Adobe’s robust suite even easier to use. Additionally, all the positives about the previous Macbook still apply, with the exception of the battery life. 

    Unfortunately, battery life isn’t nearly as impressive on this one; it seems the touchbar really saps the power from the laptop. Jokes aside, it is markedly lower than its predecessors. Additionally, this one is tremendously expensive: you can usually find it around $1,500.  


  • Best Deals on Laptops

    Best Deals on Laptops

    Having a nice smartphone is cool, and a good tablet can be great for entertainment uses around the house. When it comes to productivity and getting things done, however, what you really need is a full-fledged laptop. As long as you’re not looking to go too far into the gaming side of things, which will quickly increase the price, you can get a good laptop for school or work for under $500. Let’s take a look at some of the best deals on laptops.

    We’re looking at these laptops based on a number of factors. The primary factor, of course, is price: only laptops under $500 can make this list. The secondary factor is overall usefulness: since laptops compete in price with tablets, we’re concerned primarily with laptops that can help you with your productivity for tasks like typing or creating presentations.

    Acer Aspire E 15

    Far from the prettiest or lightest laptop on the market, the Acer Aspire E 15 is a squat and industrial-looking laptop that you can pick up for under $400. The $360 configuration sports a low-end dual-core i3-8130U and a below-average 6GB of RAM. It offers a sizable 1TB hard drive, though, and the price is notably lower than many competing Windows laptops. The Aspire E 15 is an interesting little laptop for a number of other reasons, though.

    Coming in at 5.3 pounds, the Aspire E is also surprisingly weighty. That said, the design is rugged and likely to last you for a while. If you’re still working with physical media, the laptop includes a DVD drive and even a burner for encoding your own info. Interestingly, this laptop also supports memory expansion: you can open it up and add more physical memory and storage space.

    HP 15

    The very simple and straightforward naming convention of the HP 15 matches up with its very plain and almost dorky design. The 15 is a very inexpensive laptop, coming in for the low price of around $400, though it’s not winning any beauty contests. It sports big bezels, rounded corners and a bulky, blocky design that’s reminiscent of something a child might use. That said, it’s got the goods for someone looking for an inexpensive laptop.

    The HP 15 runs full Windows, which is unique for a laptop of this price range. Many laptops under $500 are Chromebooks, which run on Google’s low power consumption, budget-friendly Chrome OS. If you need a laptop for productivity, such as typing in Word or making PowerPoint Presentations, then the HP 15 is a great inexpensive option. It’s worth noting that it only supports the older, weaker 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so it might be worth skipping this one if you don’t use ethernet connections often.

    Dell Inspiron 15 5000

    Another 15-inch Windows laptop, the Inspiron 1500 can often be found on sale for just under $500. If you need a good compromise between low price and high power, this is the laptop for you. It offers up 8GB of RAM, allowing you to multitask and handle beefier requirements like photo editing. The CPU is an i5-8250U, making it a good mid-range CPU that can handle most task.

    Interestingly, the display here is a true HD display. This means that you get the best of both worlds: the price of a budget laptop with the features of a higher-end device. For the cherry on top, this laptop sports a 256GB solid state drive. Solid state drives have some notable advantages over hard disk drives: notably, they load information much more quickly, and they also have no moving parts, making them safer to travel with and likely to last longer.

  • HP Spectre x360: A Capable Two-in-One, or Overpriced Computer?

    HP Spectre x360: A Capable Two-in-One, or Overpriced Computer?

    HP’s popular Spectre series of two-in-one laptops has seen a huge uptick in features and usefulness with the recent 2019 model. Sporting a gorgeous 13-inch display and three different viewing modes, there’s a lot to love about the newest Spectre. The question remains: is it worth the hefty price tag, or are there better deals for your money?

    HP Spectre x360 Review

    Design

    This is a stylish, sleek and all-around classy device. The all-metal encasing is very eye-catching, and the gem-cut corners add an air of elegance that you don’t often find on laptops. This would look right at home on a professional’s desk, in a coffee shop or in a lecture hall. In fact, it might look a little too fancy in shabbier surroundings!

    Features

    As a two-in-one, this is a highly portable device. It barely weighs three pounds, so it’s easy to toss it into a bad and take it on the go with you. The touch screen is responsive and looks great, though it’s a little hard to see in the sun.

    The Spectre x360 also sports three distinct viewing modes, making it a flexible and easy-to-use device. Whether you need to be productive, want to kick back and watch videos or just need a tablet for some fun games, the Spectre can accommodate.

    The most impressive aspect of the Spectre, however, is the huge battery life. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time far from any charging ports, this is the laptop for you.

    Pricing

    It’s worth noting that the 2019 13-inch Spectre x360 also touts a premium price tag. The two-in-one starts at $1,150 for just the basic model, while additional storage space or a better CPU can run you a few hundred more.

    That said, even the base version of the laptop comes with a nice leather sleeve for the device, as well as an active tablet pen for drawing and taking notes. All in all, if you’re looking for a powerful, sleek and long-lasting two-in-one, the Spectre x360 is the computer for you.

  • Dell XPS 15 Review Roundup

    Dell XPS 15 Review Roundup

    The Dell XPS 15 is upon us, and it keeps up Dell’s recent string of high-quality laptop releases. The XPS 15 offers a lot of great power and design for the intro price of $1,000, keeping this laptop just in the range of “affordable.” For a laptop, at least. Let’s get into the review roundup!

    Dell XPS 15

    dellxps15
    CNet

    Design

    There aren’t really any surprises in this department for 2018. The outer lid is silver-colored aluminum with a shiny Dell logo. The screen still has the crazy-small bezels you’ve come to expect from XPS. Unfortunately, that means the webcam is under the screen, which is probably the least flattering angle imaginable. Other than that, the design is pretty stellar.

    You get tons of ports, a great form factor and good battery life. Additionally, the laptop sports a Thunderbolt 3 charging port for blazingly-fast charging. All in all, other than the webcam, it’s hard to pick on this laptop. If you’re a fan of flashy aesthetics, this Dell is a bit understated. However, for most folks it’ll look just sleek enough to be stylish.

    Specs

    If you’ve been tuned out for the past few years, you might think the name Dell means low quality. However, in recent years, Dell’s quality has improved markedly. The XPS 15 is no exception! The 15 inch display looks fantastic in most lighting conditions. It boasts an Intel i7 processor, making it a solid choice for multitasking. You can open tons of tabs and stream music and video all while operating productivity programs.

    If you opt for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q GPU you can even do some light gaming. Games look pretty solid on the 15-inch screen, though if you opt for the 4K screen, of course, it looks markedly better. Also, the laptop does an ample job cooling down during long gaming sessions.

    Bottom Line

    In summary, the Dell XPS 15 is a rock-solid laptop. While you can pick it up for $1,000, that configuration wouldn’t be the beefiest. If you want decent gaming specs and good productivity, your configuration could run up to $1,500. The $2,000 version boasts a 4K display and is well worth the money, although those with no interest in 4K would be fine with the mid-level version.

    The bottom line is that this is a great laptop in any configuration. If you’re in the market for a new laptop, consider getting the Dell XPS 15!

  • Laptop Roundup: Best Laptops of 2018

    Laptop Roundup: Best Laptops of 2018

    Today, we’ve got a laptop roundup to bring you some of the best laptops of 2018 so far. If you’re in the market for a new laptop, these are the cream of the crop. While your mileage may vary, we’ve included a few different choices in case your tastes differ from ours. Alright, let’s get into it: the best computers for the pro on the go! 

    MacBook Pro 13-inch 

    The MacBook Pro is a fantastic laptop for creative professionals. The model without the Touchbar is a fantastic value, but the Touchbar model is a tad pricey. If you’re interested in creating content and looking for a laptop to keep up, this is the one. Mac has a reputation for being great for creators, and they’ve earned it. A sleek interface, beautiful aesthetic and great design decisions bolster this laptop. The only drawbacks? It’s still relatively expensive at around $1,300, and the keyboard leaves a lot to be desired. That said, Macs are notoriously well-made and Apple’s customer service is top-notch. 

    Chromebook Pro 

    Samsung’s Chromebook Pro may be an odd decision on its face but hear us out. If you’re a student, or looking for a second computer, this inexpensive option is great. It’s got everything you need for studying, composing papers and taking notes. While you won’t be editing films or hardcore gaming, you probably don’t need that if you’re in the market for a Chromebook. It’s worth noting that the Chrome OS is a scaled-back, user friendly but overly-simple operating system. If you’re a power user, steer clear. If you’re just looking for an affordable laptop, though, this is a great pick. 

    Surface Pro 

    Microsoft’s Surface Pro is the very best 2-in-1 on the market, and that’s saying a lot. The crowded 2-in-1 market is an attempt to appeal to those that want something between a tablet and a laptop. The Surface Pro impresses on both fronts and compromises nothing to be the very best tablet and an excellent laptop. The power on this sucker rivals most other laptops in its price range. It just so happens to also have a detachable keyboard and a touch screen! Creative types, students and business professionals all love the Surface Pro. It even comes with a great stylus to get you started. All that, starting around $800. It’s a steal! 

    Our Favorite of this Laptop Roundup: Dell XPS 13 

    Our current favorite laptop overall is the Dell XPS 13. A fantastic all-rounder at a decent price, the XPS 13 is great for everyone. Well, everyone except gamers, but gamers already know what they’re looking for. Everyone else will love this sleek, fast laptop. The i5 version of the XPS 13 runs at $1,000, and the i7 runs $1,400, but that’s a reasonable price for this premium laptop. If you don’t mind footing that bill, you’ll get a powerful, zippy and portable laptop that’s sure to impress and delight. 

  • Top 5 Gaming Laptops for 2018

    Top 5 Gaming Laptops for 2018

    It takes a lot of stones to be a full fledged gaming laptop and those stones come a large price. These gaming laptops are built to handle what ever our nest and most bizarre gaming programmers can throw at them, and they do it with style and grace. Today we are gonna take a look at the 5 best gaming laptops for 2018.

    1. Alienware

    • CPU: Intel Core i9-8950HK
    • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (8GB GDDR5X VRAM)
    •  RAM: 32GB
    •  Screen: 17.3-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440)144Hz
    •  Storage: 246GB PCIe M.2 SSD, 1TB 7,200RPM HDD

    What has this beast at the top is not only the brand new and highly overclocked processor, top of the line GPU and the 13 zone customizable LEDs, but the Tobii Aware software and eye tracker..It works and its awesome. This is hands down the best gaming laptop and will be for at least a year.

    2. MSI GS 65

    • CPU: Intel Core i7
    • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB GDDR5X VRAM, Max-Q)
    •  RAM: 16GB
    •  Screen: 15.6-inch FHD (1,920 x 1,080) anti-glare, wide-view 144Hz panel
    • Storage: 512GB M.2 SSD

    The MSI GS65 packs a ton of power into a very breathtaking and inspiring design. Blasting on with an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8750H CPU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU, But a quick run down of the specs will see why this Laptop didn’t grab the number one spot, but cut it a little bit of slack it is a few months older and its still a very bad,bad man gaming laptop.

    3. Razer Blade Pro

    • CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H | 7th Gen
    • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (8GB GDDR5 VRAM) |
    • RAM: 16GB | Screen: 17.3
    •  Storage: 512GB M.2 SSD

    This is one of my favorites, it  was crafted to deliver incredible performance in an impossibly thin form factor. It is also the world’s first THX® Certified Mobile Device, the Razer Blade Pro sets a new standard for desktop replacement laptops.

    4. Dell G3 17

    • CPU: 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Processor
    •  Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with NVIDIA® Max Q Design technology, 6GB GDDR5 video memory |
    • RAM: 16GB DDR4
    •  Screen: 17.3-inch HD 1,366 x 768 TN – QHD 2,560 x 1440 OLED touchscreen
    •  Storage: 180GB – 512GB SSD

    While this has some respectable power, this configuration will cost a little more the $1000 making this the best value for a gaming laptop with out suffering any power loss. It will deliver an ultimate and immersive gaming experience.

     

     

    5. Lenovo Legion Gaming Laptops

    CPU: 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Processor
    Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with NVIDIA® Max Q Design technology, 6GB GDDR5 video memory |
    RAM: 32GB DDR4
    Screen: 17-inch HD 144fps
    Storage: 180GB – 512GB SSD

    Clean new design. Relatively light. Fantastic 144 screen refresh-rate options. Corsair keyboard with per-key RGB lighting. The fresh design of the Legion Y730 holds promise, with a well-rounded feature set at a relatively modest price. Its big hold back it for a brand new released Gaming laptop its not blasting the i9 chip and maxes out with the GTX 1060 on top a high price then the G3 although the 730 is but better looking and dosent feel as cheap as the G3.

     

  • Laptop Lookout: Lenovo Legion Revamped

    Laptop Lookout: Lenovo Legion Revamped

    Laptops are the cornerstone of our computing resources in this day and age. We need power, robust performance and ultimate portability for every aspect of our daily lives. This is a guide and insight to the best Laptops on the market and today I’m here to talk about the Revamped Lenovo Legion Gaming Laptop.

    The Great

    • Nice Responsive Keypad and Trackpad
    • Solid Performance
    • Great FPS
    • Premium Graphics and Audio & Optional Dual Drive Storage

     

    The Conclusion

    Lenovo’s new approach to gaming focuses on entry and mid-tier consumers looking to play games without breaking the bank. The new Legion series laptops meets minimum specks for a 2018 gaming laptop and it can deliver great frame rates at medium settings for even the most demanding games. While they’re all built for gaming but designed for everyday use.

    Lenovo has announced four new Lenovo Legion gaming laptops. There’s the $929.99, 15-inch Legion Y530 available in June, and the $959.99 Y7000 available in August. There’s also the 15 and 17-inch Y730s available in September starting at $1,179,99 and $1,249. Today we will talk about their strengths, weakness and the difference between

    Breakdown The Lenovo Legion

    The first two Lenovo Legions, the Legion Y730 and Y530 laptops, feature skinny and slight bezel screens, dual-chamber cooling,  and up to Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050Ti GPU. Wait, what? That is a low end gaming GPU.. That wont run some of the top games out now, let alone whats coming out.  Eighth-gen Intel Core i7 processors, but we have 9th gen available. An optional 144Hz full HD IPS display is offered on the Y530, while the Y730’s noteworthy feature is its Corsair iCUE RGB backlit keyboard (which features six macro “Y” keys).Each of Lenovo’s new systems feature top and side bezels that are 0.26-inches thin, allowing for viewers to enjoy more of the laptop’s display.

    The Y530 laptop, which will be a Best Buy exclusive when it’s available in June for $930, is noticeably smaller than its predecessor, and loses the red accents from before. Instead, you’ll find an all-black lid with a Legion logo, which some might find more attractive, although others might call boring.

    Lenovo partnered with Corsair to bring credibility to its RGB lighting scheme for the Lenovo Legion Y730 laptops. The RGB, 16MM-color backlit keyboard, vent lighting, and underlighting are all controllable via Corsair’s iCUE software. Good news is if you like the out of the box generic look for the Legion Y530 and Legion Y7000, you can turn them all off.

    Quick Spec Look

    • CPU: 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8300H or Core i7-8750H
    • Memory: Up to 32GB DDR4, or you can get up to 8GB of that and 8GB of Corsair Overclocked Memory.
    • Display: All displays will be FHD (1920×1080) anti-glare IPS with a maximum brightness of 300 nits, with the choice of either 60Hz or 144Hz refresh rates.
    • GPU: Choice of Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or GTX 1050 Ti. These are Nvidia’s midrange discrete GPUs.
    • Storage: Choices of 128GB-512GB PCIe NVMe SSDs and 1TB or 2TB hard drives.
    • Connectivity: Lenovo arrayed most of the ports on the back of the Legion Y730. There you’ll find (as seen in the photo below, left to right) miniDisplayPort, full HDMI, USB 3.1 Type A, RJ-45 ethernet, another USB 3.1 Type A, the power port, and a lock port. On the left side you’ll find a Thunderbolt port and an audio jack, and on the right side you’ll find a third USB 3.1 type-A port.

    Laptop Lookout: Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop

    Laptops are the cornerstone of our computing resources in this day and age. We need power, robust performance and ultimate portability for every aspect of our daily lives. This is a guide and insight to the best Laptops on the market and today I’m here to talk about the Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop. This is a Thin ultra-portable 15.6-inch laptop with a thin bezel gaming display.. Its a complete laptop solution with gaming at a affordable cost in mind.

    The Great

    • Slim, subtle design
    • Dell Product Support
    • Excellent performance
    • Red Backlight Option

    The Not

    • Terrible TouchPad
    • Tacky Keyboard
    • Cheap Plastic Look and Feel

    The Conclusion

    Dell’s budget gaming laptops get a line of their own, some redesigns and Intel Core eighth-generation options. For the price its quite average  for gaming laptop.

     

    Dell’s G-series line is the new laptops  intended to be Dell’s new affordable gaming machines. At 0.5 inches thick, the Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop is Dell’s thinnest 15-inch gaming oriented laptop. While it still has some Inspiron lingering design, core and feel in it, it also has a unique youthful appeal with stripes decals  and faux carbon fiber patterns. It also packs Intel’s new Core i7 H-series six-core CPU, which sits at the top of Intel’s CPU hierarchy.

    Its got the goods, 8th Gen Intel® hex-core processors provide responsive, powerful performance whether you’re gaming, streaming videos, or working on CPU-intensive projects. With Dual fans let you experience uninterrupted gaming while your system stays cool and Dual drives with SSD options including NVMe PCIe ensure faster performance and better reliability, and a new Ethernet port supports full 100/1000 Gigabit connections for quick performance.

    Power?

    There are configuration options and with a price this series now goes up to the six-core i7s and as high as a Core i9 in the top-end G7. One of the important ways they remain different from Dell’s gaming-focused Alienware brand is the GPU options, which run only from a Nvidia GTX 1050 to a GTX 1060 Max-Q for the G models.

    Quick Spec Look

    •  eighth-generation mobile Core i-series processors
    • Installed Size 16 GB, 1x16GB, DDR4, 2666MHz
    • Capacity 256 GB Solid State Drive (Boot) + 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive (Storage)
    • Clock Speed 4.1 GHz
    • Diagonal Size 15.6 -inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display
    • OS Provided: Type Windows 10 Home 64bit English
    • Graphics Processor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB GDDR5 graphics memory

    The Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop  Design

    The G3 looks a lot more like the latest mainstream Inspirons, with touches like the patterned keyboard surround and notably slim profile for a gaming system. One nice design feature that you get with the Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop is something you dont typically get with a budget laptop. LED Backlighting. Its simple and always impressive but the G3’s backlight comes in blue and red.

     

    The Final Thought

    Despite its cheap design, the Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop is one of the best and powerful bangs for the buck. Starting at $750 with a I7 Processor you are really getting the best deal available for this kind of power. The track-pad is an issue but none of us game with a track-pad anyway, add a good wireless gaming mouse an enjoy the savings.

  • Which Laptop Bag Is Our Favorite?

    Which Laptop Bag Is Our Favorite?

    We know bags aren’t the most exciting thing in the tech world, but it’s important to take care of your laptop!

We have a list of some of our favorites here for you to check out! 

    WaterField Designs Staad Attache 

    This bag, interestingly, was designed with the iPad Pro in mind. Originally meant to be a tablet bag, it still works great as a laptop bag. It’s made in San Francisco and uses an easy-open clip on the front flap. It also sports a water-resistant zipper, helping to keep your tech from being doused. It has a pass-through for luggage handles, which makes it great for taking on flights. It’s made from durable waxed canvas and has a rustic, natural look. It’ll run you around $230, which is on the high side, but it looks great and won’t let your tech get banged up or drenched! 

    Mobile Edge Eco Laptop Messenger 

    For those looking for an excellent value, check out the Mobile Edge Eco on Amazon. It’ll cost you under forty bucks, and it offers a ton of pockets and flaps. While its make and design aren’t quite as luxurious as some of the other bags on this list, it makes the list for being so affordable. Without dipping too deep into your bank account, this bag offers great utility and durability in keeping your laptop safe.
