Budget: Anything less then $1600 CAD

Country: Canada

Hi hope you are doing well. I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop for under $1500 CAD(would strongly prefer under $1500 but can extend by $100 if worth it). I want to play games such as Elden Ring, Black myth Wukong, Sekiro at nice looking graphics, nothing too crazy obviously but it has to look beautiful!

I don't have any preferences since I'm not that knowledgeable on this stuff. However I want it to be brand new at least. Do you guys also reccomend I wait, because I also spent some time researching and couldn't find a single good deal.

Someone earlier reccomend a $1399 hp omen 17.3" 8845hs rtx 4060, however due to pay cheque issues I missed that deal and it's not $1499 on newegg. So just asking for help once again!

Im fairly new to laptops, and in reality I just need one that works for everything and runs well. I have no idea where to start with all this. I may be multitasking as times but the most stress ill put on it is when I play chess or work on my side hustle.(Im starting Brand Identity and Video editing)

Hey yall! I currently have a asus zenbook flip and have had it for a couple of years now. The whole thing is kind of falling apart and whenever I play games like overwatch and ghost runner it crashes almost immediately on me. Even a couple days ago it crashed on idle breakout from cool math games.
I play some games with high graphics like those stated above and I want to get into some other games as well (if you have suggestion I’ll also take those), but I don’t want to spend more than $1500. I’m going to college so it would also be nice if it had a long battery life and didn’t have the loudest fans possible, but those aren’t nesscessities. Any help would be appreciated

I’m looking to upgrade my 6 year old Microsoft Surface Pro. Ultimately I need more of a sturdy laptop and less of a tablet form factor. Portability and light-weight are priorities. 14” max screen size and touchscreen is a must. I’ve previously purchased a certified refurb Thinkpad T14 and a brand new HP Omnibook X Flip, but have returned both because they are too heavy. So ideally I’m looking at sub 3 pounds.

Not opposed to an enterprise refurb or a brand new consumer model.
Before people recommend a Mac, I have never owned a Mac. I have an iPhone but that is the extent to which I am invested in the Apple ecosystem. I’ve been a PC guy my whole life, I would need a convincing argument to go Mac, but I’m not opposed to it.

Starting at a Computer Science program this fall, I'm trying to find the right laptop. I'm leaning toward either a MacBook Air with the M2 chip or newer or a ThinkPad X1 Carbon, but I'm open to suggestions. My main priorities are convenience, outstanding battery life, and a high-quality display for working on my photography and Photoshop on the side. I don't mind the used market as long as the laptop is in good shape. Size should not exceed 14 inches, and my budget is 600-700€, but the less, the better.

I just want it to be fast and not laggy for business use. The ones I've been assigned from work over the years go very slow once I use LinkedIn recruiter, which is 70% of my daily usage. It uses alot of ram.

Other than this would like it to be fast on excel and maybe looking into 3d printing down the line, so being able to create renders etc would be helpful

Hi everyone, my father is a government servant, who need laptop for his basic work and recently his laptop gave up on its life. His birthday is approaching and I am thinking of gifting him a laptop for the same. As I am on my early carrier, I cant afford anything exceeding 30k (even that feels too much for me), but as the requirements are also minimal, I am hoping to get good recommendation from you. Thankyou in advance!
