Good afternoon everyone!

 

So as the title states, I will be in the market for a new laptop in the next month for my wife (Grad School) and looking for some suggestions from everyone. I have looked around at the new Macbook pro's and iMac's but not sure I want to go that route. I have owned both Mac's and PC's but my MacBook always seems to outlast my PC's in battery life and usability. This isn't something that we will be using for coding/gaming but will get the usual video/picture editing and some general use. I have also been over some newer HP's and Lenovo ThinkPad with work and really like both of those options. So, in short, I have no clue what I want but thought I would see what everyone suggest.

 

Thanks again,

Zare Out!

    Hello,

    If you don’t plan on Gaming, MacBooks are pretty good, though expensive. I believe that’s what most editors and video teams use. It’s pretty good for general use too, and you can always run Windows using Parallels or Boot Camp If you care about that.

    You can run Mac on a Windows laptop too, but it involves a “hacky” method.

    If you dont require heavy use, try "HP Probook 440 G5". 

     

    Its a decent laptop, charges pretty fast, and can leave it on for quite a while. If you're using video editing then go for the one with the GPU

    See that's kind of my thoughts.  We haven't got into gaming on a computer and I have a desktop for my personal use if I want to start. This is something she would use for herself for school. I really just need this thing to last two years to get her through so I'm leaning to a MacBook Pro.  Thanks for the info!

    I just ran through the build and spec. I ended with about $1300 for the top parts. That's not bad at all seeing as she wouldn't need most of that, and I could repair/replace if need be. This might be something I run by her tonight.

     

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Not a problem. The laptop is nice but the only problem I have is that my University didn't see fit to get the one with the GPU.

    Intel uhd is horrible

        PC Installation Instructions:
        STEP 1: If necessary, uninstall the app if you have it installed on your iDevice. Some hacked IPAs will install as a duplicate app. Make sure to back it up so you don't lose your progress.
        STEP 2: Download the pre-hacked .IPA file from the link above to your computer. To download from the iOSGods App, see this tutorial topic.
        STEP 3: Download Sideloadly and install it on your PC.
        STEP 4: Open/Run Sideloadly on your computer, connect your iOS Device, and wait until your device name shows up.
        STEP 5: Once your iDevice appears, drag the modded .IPA file you downloaded and drop it inside the Sideloadly application.
        STEP 6: You will now have to enter your iTunes/Apple ID email login, press "Start" & then you will be asked to enter your password. Go ahead and enter the required information.
        STEP 7: Wait for Sideloadly to finish sideloading/installing the hacked IPA. If there are issues during installation, please read the note below.
        STEP 8: Once the installation is complete and you see the app on your Home Screen, you will need to go to Settings -> General -> Profiles/VPN & Device Management. Once there, tap on the email you entered from step 6, and then tap on 'Trust [email protected]'.
        STEP 9: Now go to your Home Screen and open the newly installed app and everything should work fine. You may need to follow further per app instructions inside the hack's popup in-game.

        NOTE: iOS/iPadOS 16 and later, you must enable Developer Mode. For free Apple Developer accounts, you will need to repeat this process every 7 days. Jailbroken iDevices can also use Sideloadly/Filza/IPA Installer to normally install the IPA with AppSync. If you have any questions or problems, read our Sideloadly FAQ section of the topic and if you don't find a solution, please post your issue down below and we'll do our best to help! If the hack does work for you, post your feedback below and help out other fellow members that are encountering issues.
