    I want a laptop without overheating issues. I want to get rid of heavy laptop cooling pad and want a light laptop (easy to carry).

    What is your budget? That plays a big part in recommendations.

    hmmm. Do you need a large screen? or is 10-12" ok? If so, get something like the chuwi lapbook. It's like a surface but very reasonable in price. There is another one available via ebay edubook I think it's called. same idea. It's going to be hard to get something in a laptop that does not overheat when used on bedding since the fan will be blocked. My dell works fairly well...but still get very warm.

    I recently purchased the new Dell i5577_5335BLK_PUS laptop, but I have not found its shortcomings, I want to know if this model of laptop is suitable for large-scale online games?

    Guys, thanks for your suggestions! Though my budget is low, therefore, I would like to go with the budget laptop. I short listed this list (https://listfolks.com/best-laptops/) and picked following two laptops. Your suggestion would be very useful for me.

    1. Microsoft surface pro 4 -> $720 on amazon
    (128 GB storage, 4 GB RAM, Intel Core i5)
    2. ASUS Chromebook Flip -> $429 on amazon
    (64 GB storage, 4 GB RAM, Intel Core m3)

    The ASUS Chromebook is more close to my budget which is $400. On the other side I also like Microsoft surface pro 4. If anyone have a good experience with Microsoft surface pro 4 then please give your feedback.

    Surface pro 4 is a great device. Check out the chuwi surbook too.

    Not really....Good is relative. My wife's dell 11 3000 is a great laptop. Has TONS of storage, fast, lightweight, long battery life...looks really cool...has touchscreen and is a two in one form factor. all of this for less than 600 bucks Canadian. Factor in exchange, Its like 420 American.

    Personally I would run away from anything with the asus logo on it. I had nothing but problems from every asus device I have owned. both my RT LTE devices developed touch issues...making them expensive paperweights, Cap issues on the motherboards etc. I deceided to move to acer and dell and have been very happy. I have had over 30 acer notebooks and had an issue in one...My sons...where it used to get dropped alot etc. It was a cheaper model so it just could not take the constant beating. Other than that no issues. I have 2 acers in my possession right now. a 7720 from 2009, and a S3 ultrabook. Both of which run smooth and fast with windows 10. My two dells are fast and reliable too...

    No problem. They are cheaper than the surface devices, but actually really good for the money.
