Can you give me your old laptop, I need laptop for my study
The best laptop will always have a number pad for me 100%. I skipped over a heck of a lot of laptops for the sole reason that they didn't have them. That's also why I ended up with a 16" Asus Predator 16t

slim shady tips
Just bought an msi modern 14
Needed something smaller and for studying as I already own a gaming laptop as a desktop
Im going abroad for a semester so portability, windows (software), battery (could be better lol), and 16gb ram was a must
When I go home it will go back to my mother as a business laptop (she doesnt use a computer at all, apart from printing and some admin stuff
Buy a MacBook. Want to game? Don’t buy a gaming laptop, build a PC or buy a steam deck.
the link for the Dell XPS Laptop has a listing price of $6,000 for some reason
What’s the best Chromebook for 300 dollars?

This got me motivated to get my university revision notes up. Thank you LTT haha.
Got the new HP Spectre with 16gbs of Ram and the Core Ultra 5, what can I say it’s a pleasure to use. I use it for university purposes and being able to flip it and use it with the pencil to get some notes is just amazing (not as good as an ipad though, but for note-taking is more than enough). For the rest there very few to say, great screen, great keyboard and force trackpad (they solved the palm rejection issue) and all-day battery life. More on the premium side for the price (in Italy where I live is 1200€ + 50€ for the pencil), but I consider to be rocking it for the next academic years. Very satisfied for now, hope not to change my mind
Surprised the N100 was so shyte, im hearing good things about them for home server use.
Framework gang checking in!
Kudos to the entire LTT team for this reference grade back to school special. Well Done!
right now the price for a 250 gig and 1 tb nvme is dollars $80 dollars for a 1tb crucial gen 4 i also see samsung $139 for 2 tb.
Can you please show how the laptop bag fits in the ltt backpack, especially when full. I use the ltt backpack for school and now my job.
what’s the consensus on razer?
About replaceable WiFi cards, beware about LeNovo ⚠for a bunch of years already, their BIOS are locked to boot only in the presence of the original WiFi card… 😱
Lately discovered the issue few days ago trying to put a WiFi 7 "Intel BE200" card to my current laptop… Was absolutely sure about PCIe and USB protocols, however, it is not in laptop's "whitelist".
