Extremely helpful! I appreciate the way you broke down the components into categories based on user types. People need to figure out what type of user they are so that they can make informed decisions -- these devices aren't cheap!
Yes I agree! Extremely helpful video, glad I found it.
Can you make another updated version of this video for 2019 PLEASE !
There really isn't any need: the same principles apply in 2019 and they will in 2022 as well. The numbers have moved up, like 2-4GB RAM being sufficient is now 8GB, i3 processor is now i5, etc. The numbers have upgraded, but the fundamentals are the same. Identify what kind of user you'll be and Dave tells you what to look for depending on that, get your budget, and look at the laptops available.
@@johnstuart2070 last gen of i3 aren t good?
@@zakariee if you're getting newer gens it should be pretty equivalent. Sorry, I should've said that. But say if you're getting 7th or 8th gen, yeah it's definitely gonna make a big difference
Another awesome video.
Danny Winget thanks! =)
Danny Winget do you still have your satin silver nexus 5 neo hybrid case ? If so are you willing to part with it :)
@@Dave2D can you suggest a touchscreen laptop and for hardcore gaming ?!!!
Dave, the way you structure your videos are great. Thanks for some very informative and quality content!
Your videos relaxes me omg. XD
magicks25 its the music!!!
**relax

It's his voice!

Man you're like MKBHD on laptops! Except you do know a thing or two about PC hardware!
true
acnfanmanin Not really since he says that ssd is most important.
Random Rub Because it really is
acnfanmanin No it just speeds up loading time of files and apps you have on your drive.
Random Rub Yeah which is pretty important. Not saying the CPU GPU or others arent important tho
I like how you focus on the computer part that is most important to what type of user. Makes the question at hand so much easier to answer for people looking for a laptop. Awesome video and keep them coming.
Thank YOU! Ugh...that answered a LOT of my questions, after reading a bunch of articles and reviews about which build is best for certain people.
You have a very pleasant voice! And nice video! :)
C2D 2007/2008 business laptop a la Dell Latitude/Thinkpad/HP Probook/Elitebook can mostly be found for sub $150 in near mint condition used on eBay, 4GB RAM and all that, 256GB SSDs can be found for less than a hundred dollars nowadays so just having that in mind gets you a pretty good daily for school/video playback/image editing/browsing for $250. Best thing about it is you can sell the HDD already in it so you fund the purchase of the SSD, and the fact there's a lot of parts if something ever screws up with the laptop, considering they're enterprise grade. Sad to see how the industry hasn't really advanced all that much since the C2D days.
Solid advice, Dave. I've been laptop hunting for a few months now, and you've given a fresh perspective on what I'm actually looking for.
You are a guy of my type. Your style is simple, and useful. I love your work!!! Keep it up.
An ssd will make any computer faster! So much faster than a regular hdd. If you have an old (not super old) laptop, throw in an ssd! It is such an easy upgrade. They are also getting much cheaper. Will make your computer feel way faster like it belongs in 2015!!
Agreed! Sped up my C2D and felt way faster!!
I enjoy looking at this videos..Dave...can you do a round up best laptops for artist, photo and film editing. A lot of creative people in this days are looking for a good laptop that can support Photoshop, Sketchbook Pro, any Adobe Software, autoCAD and music editing. I have seem a minority of students having issues like glitching, freezing, or not capable to completely support a 100% towards a program. Thank you.. hope this helps other -creative user- who struggle looking for a good laptop.
my friend wanted to purchase a budget laptop and she was confused a lot, I shared this video with her and it helped her a lot.
Thanks a lot D2D, I always follow your videos in terms of laptops and other tech related stuffs.
You are doing an amazing work, keep it up.
Your videos are always helpful and I love your sense of calmness. #bigfan
thank you so much for this video! I was stressing over which is the best video editing laptop while still being in my budget. It also helped me stopped reaching for the absolute best laptop for everything and focus on what I want more
i don't care if you're using a mac or not, what's important is you're enjoying what you have right now
For software engineering, I'd definitely recommend >= 8gb ram. One example, if you have a couple of instances of android studio with large projects and chrome with a few tabs. This can get very close to using 8gb of ram :)
Danny Fleming Ya, with larger projects Android studio was pretty memory hungry with v1.1 and earlier. But with v1.2 even REALLY heavy code feels very manageable at 4 gigs. Although Chrome ..uggh DAT MEMORY USAGE kills me hah.
@@Dave2D hey dave could you please tell me how to keep your cpu on 100 percent power usgae
@@Dave2D usage
Been with you since 200 subscribers! I love your style and no nonsense approach, please don't stop!
Ryan Henschell I remember! Thanks for the support =)
I literally just got a new laptop, yet I'm still watching this video. You have the power my man, keep doing what you're doing.
My friend: what do you want for Christmas

My friend: cool
Me: yeah I can only spend about..,
My friend: GET A MAC OR ALIENWARE
Me: 400$
My friend: Well I have a Mac and it's awesome
Me: Well those are 900$
Velociraptor Boy Not really there are great laptops for 400$ by asus.
ChubbyTerp i have mac and alienware, i dont reslly like em too much, a custom built is where its at ;)
Look for a used one
Macz are terribles
My budget is $2. What could I get?
condom
Cool what's the specs?
+Dorupero it comes with an anti virus software pre-installed
Holy shit
+Dorupero Holy shit indeed
Hey Dave,
Your videos are amazing, on point reviews and clear delivery of specifications.
Great job!
Thank you Dave Lee I now have clearer picture on what computer i should buy for high school and great job on 20k subs
Can you update this for 2018?

Very detailed video. Just what I was looking for. Thank You
Seeing your vids, all I can say is I'm amazed by your edits. Your edits are purty. Keep up the good work, Dave!
can you review that 550$ laptop the Aser aspire e15

brian ryan fucking obviously

i had to say man you are the "GURU" of laptops reviews....love your videos...thanks for making up the video...!!!
I really love your reviews Dave! Especially the background music you put in them
what if i need all of this ? im an architecture student, who likes to game every once in a while in the studio so any recommendations ?
+CrazyRetroJunkie i guess XPS 15 is not a bad idea
then you have to go to the more premium gaming laptops out there. might I suggest the MSI Apache Pros as it strikes the perfect balance between great specs, pricing, build quality, and sizing (my dream laptop has always been the Asus ROG G7** series but they're too bulky to be carried around). my personal bet is the GE72 with gtx 970m, i7 skylake, 16gb ram and 1tb HDD.
Hi , my name is shubh and i want to say. Is there any laptop which has i5 or i7 CPU with 8GB of RAM managment along with 2GB of high performance graphic card. Actually , i want a sleek and stylish design it doesn't matter how mant ports are present. But internet port and two usb ports is must , if there is no two ports So, at least one port of USB is must. In addition , i want at least 1TB Hard drive. As well as , i want a 13 inch screen size because i don't want big size screen such as 15 inches. Is there any laptop with these kind of features because i must for me and price range in between $1500 -$2000 and if it possible in that brands like Dell , Acer , Apple , HP etcetera.
Thank you for read , i hope you got it and you will make a video on that kind list of laptop very soon...... 😀👍🏻
Aulakh Saab I found out the perfect laptop for u Lenovo thinkpad e570p 1400 dollars and it's a high performance gaming laptop with i7,keyboard lights,GTx 1080 it graphics card,1 TB of storage and 256 ssd oh yeah forgot 16 gigs of ram
If this helps, the Laptop I'm using now is my cousins and It's a Asus Q502lab
It has a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2 Cores, 8GB of RAM and a 5400rpm Hard drive with 1TB.
I'm not sure but I think the size is 13.3 inches. just search for it or something if you want to know more
Dude try "Asus A455LF"
I3 5005U / theres also the i5 version.
Nvidia geforce 930m (2gb)
4/8 gb ram depends on version.
I have subscribed to your channel for quite sometime now, but I just found this video. This video is amazing! Very helpful! Thanks.
this is a great topic. thanks. always wanted help with how to break down this decision.
Dave, would you mind if asked you your dota 2 MMR ?😂
i'm terrible at dota 2
+Dave Lee what about this laptop... www.amazon.es/Acer-Aspire-F15-F5-573G-77L0-Port%C3%A1til/dp/B01K9XG9V6
Can you update this video for 2017?
I really want to help everyone out over here, to be honest i bought the Lenovo y50 the highest spec for 1699$ then after a month the battery broke down. It literally stopped working with 1 hour of document use, so i got another new Lenovo y50 for free. The after 3 weeks the hard drive broke down it wouldn't work or boot up. So i went ahead and bought a macbook pro 2015 13 inch 256 flash storage for about the same price but i had to pay a bit more and it has been working flawlessly with no issues and i have super happy with editing and it battery life is amazing with 11 hours from what i got in normal use. And the only issue with the Lenovo Y50 is the battery it uses at all time. So I would highly recommend the MacBook Pro 13 inch for light editing and normal daily use and it can handle games really well. Hope this had helped you.
***** one month later and still no hate comment from windows fanboys
GRRRRR RAWRRR IM A WINDOWS FANBOY SCREW YOU RARWWRRRRRRRrrrrr....
Meow. ;P
This is amazing. Peace is being brought to the internet
playing games lol
+Delphic Stranger Not really much to criticise. The Macbooks are excellent devices.
From a Windows user.
Helpful video man. That's great advice. Helped me to select the laptop perfect for me. so THANKS A lot
That's a pretty nice n structured way of explaining everything! Nice!
I heard the Lenovo Y50 does a bad job at displaying colors accurately, yet you recommended it for video/picture editing..
Yup poor color accuracy. But if you want snappy 4k video editing on a super tight budget, its one of the best options out there.

I love how balanced and reasonable this video is. Thank you for this!
Very nice video, very informative, considerate and thoughtful. We need more of these types of videos out there.
I know this is a bit late, but thanks for the guide man. My laptop broke and I have so many problems on what laptop to buy and what is a good value laptop. With this, it gives a clearer picture. So thanks again for the guide. You helped me a lot !
This video is perfect!! It sums up perfectly all the questions I had for my future purchase. You didn't mention it here but I'm very tempted to wait and see what the Asus UX305LA will achieve. Really looking forward for a review of this ultrabook on your channel :)
One of the best presentations I have watched. Good information for those trying to understand their needs before letting go of their hard earned cash.
Man, you're creating really awesome and thoughtful content. Keep up The good work! Thank you.
Riesgo Garza thank you!
I have to thank you so much for this video. Basically just binging your videos taught me so much.
Really great suggestions here. I'm a computer scientist and engineer and totally agree with you. It's hard to find good objective suggestions tailored to specific needs when it comes to laptops. Well done
This is what I call a "guide", everyone else just tell names of laptops which doesn't help at all. Thank you for this extremely helpful video :D
Extremely Clear !!
Thanks Man 💙
This was great advice. I was looking at an specific laptop for video editing and wasn't sure about buying it because it didn't have a dedicated graphics card. Now I know is not that important
Thanks for the tips, thy defiantly helped me and probably a lot of other people.
Nice! Even though i already know what notebook im going to buy this video was still quite helpful and a pleasure to watch ;) thanks dave
Good info and nice delivery.
Great guidance, thank you!
Amazing Dave! Really like your work and dedication. You gave pretty detailed and informative piece of video content. Love your work, really high quality content.
You are the best man! I trust your words like seriously you clear all the confusing .... wish all the best
Background music on point, again! Like!
You've awesome personality , intro design (and music). Awesome review style. cheers
I really love your videos you're definitely one of my favourite channels! Can you please do best laptop/phone for battery life? Cheers
This is the kind of videos we consumer need ... Added to fav! :p
Thank you so much for considering application development. There are barely any video's on TH-cam regarding app development notebooks. Thank you.
Extremely well done review!
man! your videos are SO helpful!
Thank you Dave. I think this kind of video must be more often on your channel. One time in 2-3 month for example. Like guide or something. Thanks again.
Great video! Nice new take on a recommendation video!
after i watched some review vids... i think ur explanation most acceptable and simple to understand.. tq..
Thanks for the useful tips! Two thumbs up!
This video was extremely helpful, thank you so much !
This was a great video. Thanks very much!
Great Video..Really Useful..Thanks Dave!
Just watched this video and thanks for mentioning the Y40, It needed some love.
Thanks for the tips Dave! Liked and Subscribed! :)
Hi! Love your videos. Please do a review on the HP Spectre x360! I'm debating between that and the Dell XPS 13.
you are currently the best reviewer on the youtube ! i like your videos so much!
i love the fact that the annotation link opens in a new tab :D i love these details :D
This video is something that pretty useful and narrow info for ppl looking for buying, thump up
Hey Dave,just want to let you know. I really like your show. Even tough I'm in China now and I have to purchase a vpn to use youtube, I just can't stop watching your videos.
this was very helpful... THANKS
i love this channel, no big title no putaclic it's just a cool and zen channel , i feel cool when watching it
Great video! May I add a tip? Always watch video reviews on TH-cam before buying any specific laptop (you can simplify search process by installing Shopping Owl Chrome extension - it will add video reviews straight to Amazon pages). Usually in reviews you can discover all that small details that are important for you.
Wow great video. You really know what you're talking about. I'm trying to find a all-around good specced laptop for maybe gaming and adobe stuff. You gave me some things to help decide. Thanks alot~
The Lenovo Y40 has good specs and the cheapest one still has a i7 and starts at $649
This is just my suggestion
Thanks! This really helped me out!
nice one! will be helpfull to a lot of people
i really liked the background music :)
Hi. I'm glad I've watched your video. It's really a big help to me! Thank you
hey man I love your videos... the intro music is 😍 ! keep up the good work👌😀😊
Great video and great work, especially love the animations - I find they illustrate your points really well! :)
I notice all the notebooks you mention have screens over 13" and even the 13" one is an Alienware beast. There must be some people for whom portability is a factor and might be looking for something a bit smaller and lighter. Do you have any recommendations for them?
Thanks, bro. You helped me to choose my laptop.
There is no doubt that it's really useful for me! I'm a senior colleges students as electronic and computer engineering! Planning get a new notebook for senior design and master program! There will have a lot heavily program work and I like games as well. So is that MacBook a good choice or a windows one is a better choice for me? I saw a lot of classmates use MacBook. But I'm not sure is that ok with program stuff? Thanks for the effort for this video. Keep going! Good luck Dave.
thank you for this video! really helpful
thanks for the vid, it really helped
This was one good video on notebook buying I have watched for a long time. People also come to me asking for advice. I personally use MBP for scientific research and stability of the OSX. Otherwise, I also advise Ubuntu notebooks for the same purpose: scientific computing.
Hi Dave, I'm your newest fan! Nice videos! I just like to find out, benchmarking the new MacBook specs, what are the possible alternatives?
I really like your videos!! subscribed :)
This video is so relaxing, because anywhere else they scream monster specs as minimum requirements in your face and here you are, just calmly explaining what we need. Thank you.
Simple ，yet sooooo helpful!
Dave Lee, congrats that was one more great video.
Hi Dave, very good videos. Thanks from Brazil
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This will help me soooooooooooooo much!
