[spoiler]sorry I let the last thread die[/spoiler] Going off some advice I got earlier I decided to get another HP. My current 2016 Pavillion has an Intel i5, with 12 gigabytes of RAM, a 1 terabyte hard drive, and a basic intel integrated graphics card. In terms of gaming and overall speed, how big of a performance boost would I see from upgrading to a modern model like the HP Pavilion Aero with an AMD Ryzen7 processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, 16 GB memory and 512 GB SSD?
The performance boost will only be palpable when undertaking demanding tasks. For general use, the difference wouldn't be much discernable.
>>103253939Just get a hp Envy.
>>103254828I figured it would be like that but I'd just be happy to run any given game on normal settings.
>>103254869Right now I'm torn between the Aero, the Plus, and the Victus. Is the Envy worth the extra cash?
>>103253939Don't buy AylmaoD laptops. They are slow. Look for intel. Same price
>>103254976I'm not looking at Alienware at all. I've heard nothing but bad things about them, and Dell as well.
Stupid fucking thread. Use google
>>103255007Just make sure it has intel chip. I have HP laptop too. It's fine.
>>103255018Google gives you aids and woke results now. Get fucked
>>103254890Well, do you necessarily want it to be a feather-light ultrabook? If not, Victus is always an option.I do not understand why HP ended the Pavilion Gaming line-up in favor of Victus. HP Pavilion Gaming laptops were such soulful-looking icons with alluring green and violet/dark pink backlit keyboards and that iconic hinge design—God, so much pure sovl!
>>103255018You're not welcome here. Go back to the catalog.

>>103254973>Is the Envy worth the extra cash?To the wallet? No, undeniably not. Stunningly pleasurable to the eye? Yes, with absolute certainty.
>>103255028I'm thinking I might go with victus if I find a good price, is it worth it to try to make a custom one online or am I okay just trying to find it in a store? I've seen people saying they got a good deal at costco.
>>103255019What's wrong with AMD chips?
>>103253939I think you are mostly getting the same level of performance as the 2016 laptop when its on battery. Modern processors are supposed to be efficient and not eat up all the battery life. But once its being charged it should be a faster but don't expect more than 50% on average. Biggest improvement would be better hardware accel support for various media formats. Heat might be a problem though most of the newer ones are thin and heatup a lot more than the old ones.
>>103253939Why do you even want to upgrade, OP?? Please provide 3 (three) compelling reasons. Also, have you abandoned the thread yet again?
>>1032562861. It's seen heavy wear and tear over the past 10 years which has effected both appearance and probably internal components given the other problems I've been having2. The battery life is significantly decreased to the point I get start up warnings about it3. It's slowed down considerably 4. It's been randomly crashing, and I mean completely crashing not just freezing up5. It's been randomly making horrible screeching noises 6. I'm tired of having to play tf2 on low settings with a stutter
>>103255450Yeah i was reading that last night, made me think I should probably go with the victus if I want to play newer games

>>103254869Fuck HP forever ForEver
>>103253939Minisforum V3 with egpu.
>>103255019Lol, Intel is good again?
Might as well use this thread instead of making a new one. I'm looking for a cheap laptop for work. I develop mobile apps with flutter, but I've decided to learn real programming in between projects so I'm also doing silly shit with c++ and rust. I've been reocmmended the thinkpad t480, which I could get for like 200-300€ depending on wheter it comes with the i5 or i7. Is it a good choice? Should I get something more modern?
>>103259946Thanks but I don't want a tablet
>>103253939
Alright thanks guys I think I'm going to get a victus.
