I need me an Ultralight laptop. Any suggestions?

I'm currently looking at the Razer Blade, Macbook (both the pro 13" and the non pro version....), Surfacebook 2, and Yoga 920. None of them are jumping out at me though. Budget of $1750

If you want it for portable gaming - razer (due to size compared to other ultra) and macbook if you need osx for work related or general apple use

Can any of ya'll help me out. It's been a minute since I read up on everything and built my PC so I've forgetten a decent bit of what I knew.

My monitor just went out this afternoon (Acer R240HY) and I'm looking to upgrade to something better soon (was already thinking about it but now I have to). Unless somebody knows how to fix it, shyt just randomly started flickering all of a sudden so I can't use it at all, random parts of the screen freeze and shyt.

What I had was decent I guess but I'd like to get something that's around the same size, somewhere between 21-25 in or so (not sure if there are any 1440p options for me), IPS, definitely want 144hz and whatever the best response time for an IPS panel I can get, as I play a lot of Overwatch.

Freesync would be cool too, I'm still running an RX480, but it's not a requirement. Wish I had sold my 480 a couple months ago when the prices skyrocketed and upgraded that shyt.

Would appreciate any recommendations as it's been a minute since I updated my knowledge so if I said anything wrong just correct me. Don't really know what monitors are the best anymore.

Thanks a lot brehs.

You're gonna want a 27' monitor if you want to game on 1440p.

I looked this up on displaylag.com. You're gonna have to pay extra for the IPS version.

Thanks breh. Yeah I just wasn't sure if I would be able to utilize a 1440p screen with my 480. Appreciate the recommendation though, this fits exactly what I was looking for if I can use it. A little pricey though but that's to be expected.

You should look more into before you finally decide. See what kind of benchmarks the rx480 gets in 1440p in Overwatch. I honestly think you should get a 1080p 144hz monitor. You'll also save less money if it's not IPS since it's all about high FPS, low input lag in Overwatch.

If your monitor is flicking, isn't that a computer problem

If you have a monitor laying around try to see if it is your gpu.
with a rx 480 you want a 1080p 144hz monitor freesync or 1440p 60hz freesync monitor

Here are your best options

It still flickers without anything plugged in, on the "cable not connected" screen and startup.

Thanks for the suggestions breh.

Yeah, I 100% agree that he should check his gpu. It sounds like he is possibly getting artifecting, potentially related to over-heating.


Edit: I should have read what he just posted. Never mind.
