Hello follks.

I am in the market for a new laptop. I kinda want an Asus Zenbook, but I’m open to any and all recommendations. I know I want a laptop with an OLED screen. As to what I’m going to be using it for: Listening to music on Spotify, using streaming apps to watch movies and TV, and photo editing. My price range is around $800-$900. Also, is 8GB of ram going to be enough for me? If not then I need at least 16.

Thank you for reading.

Have you looked into Mac Book Airs? I was in the market for a laptop last year and decided to get one and love it for the lighter work of streaming and internet. Office apps work fine for my needs. I don’t do photo editing but understand they have all the programs you need. You can probably get a model or two back to reduce the price.

 

[AJUMP23]

I cannot help.

What laptop has an OLED at that price?

If you photo edit may want to just go with a MacBook Air.

You can find Zenbooks at around $500 with OLED panels, but I’m sure they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

Oh, and I didn’t think I’d be able to get the MacBook Air yet, but Amazon is having g a sale on brand new 2022 Airs. They have a coupon you can use to get $150 off. I used it and got me a MBA in Midnight. That bad boy will be here Tuesday and I’m happy to finally own a MBA I’m a big Apple fanboy (Got 2 iPad Pro snd a iPhone 13 Pro.)

Thank you guys for leading me back home to quality. Apple!

That was quick.

Good choice

Every time I buy a not apple laptop I am made to either instantly regret it, or within a year when something goes wrong.

What RAM/Storage did you get?

I have a 15" M3 Air with 16GB/512GB. Amazing laptop.

I used a touch screen Sony laptop, Mac book pro, Lenovo, HP, and an Alienware all these things make you think about portability, the gaming experience, battery life, so laptops are just a matter of what do you like better, do you want to show off editing skills in photoshop with Mac? Do you want to cage yourself in a windows experience with HP?

I think the Zenbooks are all touchscreen OLED and the image quality isn't great due to the touchscreen layer, according to various reports/reviews.

I don’t have enough right now to get a MacBook Air even with the coupon. My budget is more like $700-$750.

Just wait for some great deal to pop up for spec similar to what you need

Yeah its about $1000 for a decent M2 macbook Air. I have an old dual core intel version 16GB ram and 512GB storage.

I'm looking to replace this 2018 and haven't decided weather I want the Pro or Air. I like the idea of a Pro for the screen but Airs are so nice and portable.

But I'd want one with at least 16GB Ram and the 1TB storage. So prices go up quickly.

Get a g14 and call it a day but switch out the mediatek wifi with intel

Get a Macbook Air (refurbished) or look into LG grams.

That probably seems oddly specific to people but it's the truth. If ya know ya know.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

How many of you have a laptop with an OLED display? I mean, my search made that a priority. But looking at other laptops such as the cheaper LG Grams has me wondering if I need that I just want a high quality screen to watch stuff on.

I've got a MacBook Pro which does not have an oled screen, but my TV and phone are both oled. My laptop screen looks great. I wouldn't get caught up on display technology as long as reviews say that the laptop you're looking at has a high quality screen.
