My $1000 laptop still doesn't have a full-function USB-C port in 2025. Why are manufacturers still cutting this corner?

€ 850 for Lenovo IdeaPad slim 5 with decent build quality, 2 usb C charging + data ports, 2 USB a ports, recent CPU, 32gb ram and 1tb ssd. Depends on the laptop you buy.

Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core Ultra 255H? (Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 vs ASUS Vivobook S14 at ~80k INR)

Go for the vivobook!! The IdeaPad slim 5 is unreliable junk, almost half of the units come from factory with issues and the frame bends easily. (Can confirm personally, I had to return mine 2 times) I switched to the vivobook which is way higher quality.

Ryzen 7 AI 350 is super compatible for your needs. about thermals i think vivobook s14 comes with dual fan setup so cooling will be good than single fan idepad Ryzen has better thermals and i watched many benchmarks show R7 reach 50W range during stress so IdeaPad cooling is not bad for single fan I

My $1000 laptop still doesn't have a full-function USB-C port in 2025. Why are manufacturers still cutting this corner?

IdeaPad laptops with metal chassis have an amazing build quality for the price. Can't compare with other laptops in the price range, but I had two IdeaPads (one of them being IdeaPad Slim 5) and I had absolutely no issues with the build quality, while I always dreaded the hinge failure on other plas

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

IdeaPad Slim 5 14" is your best bet.Upgradable RAM, pretty good CPU and two SSD slots.The iGPU is alright as well.Metal (aluminum) build, OLED display.If you can find a Ryzen AI 7 version, perfect. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

From a Windows user to the Mac users

Yep, the Neo is a great laptop for students who just want a no-nonsense, well-built laptop that gets the job done for a decent price.As for build quality, I have looked at the Neo before and it felt just as solid as my 1000-ish dollar IdeaPad Slim 5. The bezels are significantly better to look at on

Laptop Recommendations (500 - 600eur)

There are some Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 models with Ryzen 7 7735HS or even 8840HS around this price. It probably depends on which exact country in the EU you're buying from, but these are some of the few laptops with decently powerful chips I've seen around that price range. They should be decent, but

Need recommendation for laptop under rs 50000 or 60000

Try an IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 10 (14" would be perfect)Not sure about the price in India, but I assume it should be there.The keyboard is excellent, not a lot of flex either. I'm able to consistently hit my peak speeds on this keyboard.

I tested three Windows laptops in the MacBook Neo’s price range — there’s no contest

I'm wondering how Apple could copy from Lenovo, when they literally were the first to market with an aluminum unibody PC in 2008, and given that every laptop that Apple sells is aluminum. It's not even the same screen size. The IdeaPad Slim 5 is 13.3", this MacBook Neo is 13" flat. The problem, of c
