any suggestions for a decent laptop ?
I am not looking for an expensive one since I am at uni atm and can't afford one tbh
so something between 1000-1300$ can do the job,
I'll be using the laptop to study and gaming when I have time for it ( when I say gaming I actually mean playing Emps and LoL if I ever have the time for it, or possibly fifa but I doubt it since I use my Ps4 for it )
And what do you guys think about Ryzon 7 ? should I look for laptops that has it instead of Intel, why ?
-
Use laptop that has Intel processor in it. They are more reliable.
As for specific model, I don't know. Check e-shops for it.
-
I suggest this one, really good

Ryzen is a perfectly fine alternative to intel, but there's no real reason to look for a laptop with one specifically.
I'd actually recommend you get something like a chromebook for your studies and build a desktop for gaming. It can either save you a fuckton of money, or get you a better gaming pc.
-
A good processor won't really save your laptop if it's ''only'' worth $1000-1300. The laptop GPU's aren't that good in general so they will bottleneck your performance no matter how good CPU you have.
Take a look at the Asus ROG series if you necessarily want a gaming laptop, they're pretty good. You could also buy a $300 laptop for studying and $1k custom-built desktop for gaming.

@Charr, I've been told that Ryzen is as good as Intel and half of its price, however I am not sure about it yet
Getting a desktop worth a 1000$ sounds a good idea, however since my uni is around 3 hours away from home, I had to rent a house there, my week is divided to 4 days there, and 3 days back at home that's why I prefer laptop over desktop as you can always take it with you .
@kaarel, I am looking for something that may last for few years, in addition to that laptops are not cheap at all here, especially if you're looking for a 17″ laptop as I don't really like small laptops at all
Which model is more reliable for a daily use ?
I've had dell for 8 years already, however I am not sure if i'll go with this one as well or try something new ( Dell is actually decent since I never had any problems with my dell ) but not the same applies to our second Dell laptop that I can tell is so damn bad

Spend more time at the house you rent if you deem it necessary. If you're going home to your family you wouldn't spend very much time playing video games anyways. I don't think a cheap laptop would have all that much trouble with emps either.

You won't need a powerful PC for studying unless 3D rendering and long ass video files are part of your everyday life. Most people in my uni use either cheap laptops or even tablets. You're going to get a few strange looks from people if you carry a 17'' laptop to a lecture cuz thing like that takes so much space on your desk. Bigger devices are also heavier to carry and easier and more expensive to break while carrying one around.
Ryzen 7 has 8 cores, and as far as I know games nowadays still aren't properly optimized for that, because most games are first developed for consoles with inferior hardware and then ported for PCs. However, it will be superior to demanding non-gaming computing.
Getting a cheap laptop + a $1k desktop will give you better gaming rig and a more comfortable tool for studying. If you spend more time at your apartment than at your parents in a week, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't get a desktop there.

Can you maybe link us few online hardware stores for us at your area so we could look at the laptop prices in your country?
-
Hey man, go for ASUS, they are really reliable laptop, I am still using mine since 2010. Still very stable. About Intel and AMD, AMD is starting to overtake Intel, can't say for sure how good is performance on ryzen. I am neutral on this. Best is get a good hands-on/test session if you have the chance to, or can find peeps who manage to get those recently for a tryout.

You can get a mac book (air or pro)
price starts from 815$ depending on the Specifications
The mac book is excellent for daily use and gaming. it has amazing futures that come with it such as iMovie; However, you won't get the Microsoft applications.
If your looking for a windows laptop, I would personal choice Asus ROG GL552VW-CN624T Gaming Laptop
it costs around 1280$
Hard Disk Capacity1 TB
RAM Size12 GB
Processor FamilyIntel 6th Generation Core i7
Graphics Card Capacity4 GB
Display Size (Inch)15.6 Inch
Or OMEN by HP
P.S: price may be different from a country to another

This makes me doubt anything you will ever say and have ever said.

I don't want to be mean but please kys if you think that those 900$ apple i3's with integrated graphics card laptops are worth something.
But as i mentioned below, ameer should link us his local online pc hardware shops for us so we could see the prices in his country.
-

:LUL:
-
Intel Core i7
RAM - 8 GB enough
Screen - 15.6
Operating System - Windows 10
The rest of things you may choose by yourself.
-
Intel Core i7
You don't necessarily need an i7, an i5 is enough.
-
This makes me doubt anything you will ever say and have ever said.
it can run emps, cs go, and LOL what other games do you think ameer plays.
and he is looking for an everyday use laptop, not gaming
-
I'll try to find some decent laptops with their prices if its worth it from some local websites, the reason I didn't link any yet cus you guys won't be able to understand what is written there, however I'll have 2 weeks break next week from uni so I'll have some free time to check some stores and keep you guys updated with the laptops i find and its prices
-
those republic of gamer laptops from asus are pretty decent for their price

i was watching all below ₪6000 and came to conclusion:
* If you want newest gen cpu and more storage space then choose one of these. - https://max-it.co.il/product/asus-gl553vd/ and https://max-it.co.il/product/asus-fx553ve-i7-7700hq-1t128ssd/
* Same as two above but with RGB keyboard. - https://max-it.co.il/product/asus-gl553vd-i7-7700hq-gtx1050/
* If you want to save some cash then take this one, it will run everything u need anyway with no issues (has last year gen cpu) - https://max-it.co.il/product/lenovo-y700-i7-15-6512ssd/
