Laptops are basically of two types in terms of their shape. The first is a traditional type which comes with a standard clamshell type design, and the second is 2-in-1 laptops. The difference between both is traditional laptops' lids can be opened up to at most 180 degrees while 2 in 1s have...

You can consider this Acer Aspire 5 17" - https://www.amazon.com/Acer-A517-52-713G-i7-1165G7-Graphics-Fingerprint/dp/B08PG3XMS3 It costs around $950, so it is costlier than the models I have recommended earlier but it makes up for the increased price tag with powerful specs and a good quality...

Asus's new ProArt StudioBooks with a rotary dial might be an option worth considering for you.

I wouldn't recommend the Asus VivoBook M712 because it has an older AMD CPU, and there are much better-specced laptops available for the price. I think you'll be able to find a pretty decent laptop for your work in the $550 - $650 range. Is a 17-inch display absolutely a necessity to you? If...

Holy smokes. My eyes tricked me into thinking it as 10300H. No problem. Let's compare i5-10500H with Ryzen 7 4800H. So, the Intel has 6-cores, 45W TDP and 2.5-4.5 GHz clock speed, whereas Ryzen 7 4800H has 8-cores, 45W TDP and 2.9-4.2 GHz clock speed. The same answer applies here as well. If...

Can you send the link to the product? The "i5-10300H" which you've mentioned in question is quad-core not hexa core. If it's hexa core then it will be i7-10750H not i5. By the way the Ryzen 7 4800H is also powerful than i7-10750H in workloads. If you are planning to use it for content creation...

Let's talk about the processors because that seems like the most important thing to decide and I think that would ultimately lead you to your final choice. If you don't know both the processors are from last year. If you can increase your budget there are laptops with latest 11th Gen Intel...

Typing this reply from a G14. Have been using it for work, gaming and video editing since last 6 months. I use Davinci to edit videos though and have never used Premiere Pro on mine, but it's gonna run just as fine. The battery life with everyday productivity tasks is really great, easily lasts...

I think you should check out the HP ENVY 13. It's a very similar laptop to the XPS 13, not as premium looking with edge to edge screen, but it's a well-built machine overall and has it's own style. You can get it with FHD screen which is decently bright and fairly colorful as per some reviews...

May be you should try giving Windows 10 another shot before you downgrade. Running older OS sometimes mean not utilizing your hardware to its full potential. If you are afraid of losing your files, turn on the One Drive sync for the folders that have the most important files. That would ensure...

If you are looking to save then AMD laptops are great value right now. Look at the ROG Zephyrus G14. You can get it with the Ryzen 9 + RTX 2060 (max-q) for around $1400 from best buy. The Ryzen 9 in there beats Intel i9 in benchmarks and for most editing jobs RTX 2060 should be more than enough...

Get the one with Ryzen 7 4700U. It should be more than sufficient for your requirements. In fact, Ryzen 5 is also enough but just for the sake of future proofing, I would recommend you to go with the Ryzen 7 model. I would like to let you know that Aspire 5 does not have that great build...

As far as I know computers up to 110 degrees is pretty normal with high-end laptops. You are taking this too seriously.

I think the Acer Swift 5 would be great option in your budget - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086KKKT15/ It has an eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 4700U CPU with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. However, it's a 14" laptop. Smaller than the 15" machines that you are looking for. Another problem with this...

I am running Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 1 and it works better than pre-installed Windows 10 S! If you want laptop for basic computing then Acer Aspire 1 with any lightweight linux distro would be awesome.
