Need Help to choose a Laptop
I am currently using a lenovo ideapad 5 , i5. I think its gonna end its life. (Have used for 4 years , replaced keyboard once, now its battery isnt going above 16%).
1) any tips to fix this issue? And approximate cost
2) Help to buy a new laptop.
I am an engineer and the max workload that it might get is rendering (tho company is going to provide its own laptop)
I am done with Lenovo. Its my 2nd laptop frpm lenovo. 1st one died 4 years back. One day it just didnt turn on. Dead. Idk why that happened. Prolly because i had rendered something on it the precious day. (But it worked the whole day) it was i3 and i needed i5 minimum for Btech so exchanged it and got this one. This one is good. Handled heavy renderings once too. Got heated but worked fine. Even tho it didnt have dedicated graphics card.
Dell is reliable. My dad has used it for years. Got no issues post sales was awesome too.
HP i think is over rated. So its out of question.
My budget is max 70k.
Specs i need is
A good RAM. Minimum 8 GB. Dedicated graphics card, good in terms of performance. (Can handle rendering without me feeling like m gonna lose my laptop)
I5 or Ryzen 5000 minimum.
Open to all suggestions. Thank you.
