Notebooks

Hello everyone. I am currently using an HP Probook 650 G4 with a classic 8 TB SATA SSD. Now I would like to switch to a new notebook. However, I cannot find any device still available as new that can accommodate a 2.5" SATA SSD. So, I simply set the search filter for notebooks to 8000 GB SSD capacity and was quite surprised. Apart from two Apple devices, all results were listed with DE, i.e., a German keyboard. What is the meaning of this from a Swiss retailer?! Is this a bad joke? I want the Swiss German layout. On a desktop, I can buy a keyboard of my choice at any time, but not with a notebook, at least if I want/need to get by without an external keyboard. With the abundance of devices with supposedly German keyboards, it cannot be that not a single one of the listed devices is also available in a CH version? Does anyone know of a model currently on offer that accommodates a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or comes with 8000 GB and a CH keyboard layout? A mistake, or is Digitec now in German hands?

Under "Input device" you can select whether a laptop should have a number pad. However, I would like the opposite. Would it be possible to add that?

My MX Keys has an ISO keyboard with a short left shift and a <> key between shift and Y. It seems to me that many business laptops now have an ANSI layout (long shift, missing <> key) between shift and Y, even if they are CH keyboards. Is there a way to filter for ISO keyboards?

I’m looking for a laptop for school with a 14-inch screen and an AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel Core Ultra 5/7 processor. 1000 Gb of storage. It mustn’t have a Snapdragon processor. I’d appreciate some advice.

@digitec It’s great that the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) is now available. Will this laptop also be available in other configurations? Specifically, I’d like one with 64GB RAM, a 5080 and an Intel CPU. Will this model be available in Switzerland? This configuration is listed here on the international ASUS website: https://rog.asus.com/laptops... Furthermore, the model numbers on this page suggest that the laptop sold on Digitec doesn’t have a 5080 but a 5070 (AP vs. AW). Which exact model is already available? Many thanks in advance for your replies :)

Hi, Is it possible to add a filter showing if a laptop has soldered/unsoldered/combined RAM configuration? Lack of that information is the reason I am not going to buy a new laptop. I already got trapped once in the past into buying a laptop which had half of it's memory soldered. When I was buying it I saw in the description that there is a memory slot, so I assumed this is where all of the memory is installed. I only learned that this was not the case after the soldered memory broke...

Hello everyone, I can't make up my mind. What would you recommend, Intel Cor Ultra 7 355 or AMD Ryzen AI 7 445? I need the notebook for photo editing and personal use. Thanks for your support :-)

Hello together I am looking for a notebook with the brightest possible matte display for outdoor use. I am confused by the brightness specifications of the manufacturers, as some notebooks only achieve the specifications in HDR content and not in Word, browser etc.? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you very much.

I will be buying a new laptop in the next few months and have almost certainly decided in favour of a Dell device with Ubuntu. Strangely, as far as I can see, no-one sells these machines except Dell directly, not even digitec. Does anyone know the reason? Digitec/Galaxus also have other things in their range that don't sell in huge quantities. I find Dell a bit cumbersome with delivery and possible repairs, I would prefer digitec.

I know you can usually install Linux yourself without any problems, I personally have done it on dozens of devices and have been using it exclusively for a long time. However, there are many people who would like to escape the clutches of Microsoft/Apple, or are dissatisfied with their operating system for other reasons, but for them a change is out of the question because a) the installation would be too complicated for them. b) they want to be sure that it works. c) they do not even know about this alternative. To counteract this, it is necessary to be able to buy devices with Linux already pre-installed. I have helped many people switch to Linux, people without any technical skills. And most of them are very satisfied. Not everyone needs compatibility with all software. For many, a browser and (Libre)Office and File Explorer are enough. In such a case, Windows is not the right choice. You can do a lot of things wrong, e.g. when installing software. Updates/pop-ups etc. just get in the way and when the boot process takes five times as long after two years and everything else has become slow, you buy a new device. The price for Windows, MS Office, antivirus etc. is not justified in such a case. This is not just my personal opinion, these are experiences that other (ex-)Windows users have told me. Once Linux is installed and working, almost no 'maintenance work' is necessary. I know there are ChromeBooks, but they almost limit you too much. Then there's the fact that you're switching from Microsoft's environment to Google's, where - unlike with smartphones - you could still retain your digital freedom relatively easily. One should have more freedom in the choice of operating system and software. After all, we are feie/independent Swiss, and that should also apply to our digital lives.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a laptop to take back to school in September. I'm starting a Bachelor's degree in IT and communication systems, with a focus on software computing, and I'm looking for a reliable device that will accompany me throughout my studies. I want to find the best PC that combines the requirements of my school and my personal preferences. Here are the criteria I need to meet: - Operating system: Windows (Macbooks not supported). - Release year: I'd like a model from 2024 or 2025. - Processor: - Intel Core i5, i7, i9 (9th generation or higher) - Intel Core Ultra 5, 7, 9 (series 1 or higher) - AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 (series 4XXX or higher) - RAM memory: 32 GB (16 GB being the minimum requirement). - Storage: An SSD of 1 TB or more. - Screen: Around 15.6 inches (14 inches minimum). - Graphics card: A dedicated card is highly desirable (but not compulsory). - Battery life: I'm hoping it will last a day of lessons. - Weight: It should be light enough for everyday use. - Budget: Ideally under 3000 CHF. My main use will be software development. Does anyone have any recommendations for models that match these criteria or any feedback to share? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hey Digitec Galaxus & Community. Some of us want to pay attention to the country of origin of a product because we don't want to support forced labour or democratic systems. For the majority of products, there are already / still alternatives. But there is still no country of origin option in the product search filter! Everyone seems to prefer to ignore the topic. Dear people on both sides of the counter: It's coming anyway. The EU is considering an import ban on products from forced labour and wants to strengthen production in Europe. More and more people are thinking this way. Would you rather be one of the last to change your mind or one of the pioneers raising awareness of the topic? People, it's not set in stone that 90% of all products come from one country! This can change very slowly and we have it in our own hands. Please help us all to work on it here and there and be a bit braver! And don't believe the lie that it won't pay off economically. There is more than short-term profit! Think more long-term, more sustainably, it's not that difficult. Dear Digitec Galaxus team, please finally introduce such a filter! Could you please comment on this? --> THERE ARE UPDATES! Please read the discussion below.

Hi all, the specifications for Lenovo's "LOQ 17IRX10" model indicate 1 TB max per M.2 slot (PCIe NVMe, PCIe 4.0 x4). I'm not entirely sure if you mean the maximum offered as an option or if it's an actual limit imposed by the motherboard/BIOS. I doubt 1TB is really the limit, but before I go ahead and purchase, I'd like to make sure I can expand to 2xSSDs of 4TB each. Does anyone have any reliable information on this? Thank you very much.

Hello Digitec Would it be possible to add to the SD card reader category? At best with a distinction between the different types such as SD, micro SD, express, UHS-1 and UHS-2. If I have overlooked this, I would be glad if someone could show me. Thank you very much

Hello everyone, I am looking for a notebook up to CHF 3,000, which should be as quiet / silent as possible (and not just in a "silent mode" with snail's pace). - Display 16 inch or larger - Windows - mainly for office and web conferencing (with external camera). What can you recommend?

Not too expensive in terms of price

Hello everyone. I need a new work laptop, which I can use for sound recordings (Rode microphone available, Audacity programme also) and online courses (create). Would be good if it works fast, has a long battery life and very large storage space. Budget up to 1500,-. I used to have an Acer laptop, but it no longer works with the necessary Windows 11 update. I would appreciate any detailed tips, as I don't know my way around. Thank you🫶

Hello, I would like to replace my 2015 HP Envy laptop, with Windows 10, with a new model. I need your help on several levels. I want to use it for office work, photo editing and above all home videos (family, travel, etc.). What kind of laptop would you recommend? A good graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 480 ?), 32 or 64 GB of Ram, SSD or HDD hard drive (two 2 to 4 TO) ? Intel i7 or i9 processor? With Windows 11 pro or home and Word Office. Budget: between 1,500 and 2,500 francs. Are there still laptops with built-in DVD and Blu-ray drives? And with the option of inserting SD photo/video cards? Thank you in advance for your advice.

I ordered a Lenovo laptop a few months ago. Unfortunately, the keyboard was defective, so I had to send the device in for repair. After about two months, I never received the laptop back. I was refunded the purchase price, but not the additional guarantee I had paid for. I paid for both the laptop and the warranty, but only received a partial refund. Very disappointing and frustrating. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the service and hope that Lenovo will finally resolve the issue with the warranty refund.

All my main work will be done on my AMD Windows desktop workstation. My usage: 1- Tethered semi-pro photo shoots using Capture One Pro/Lightroom 2- Graphic design & 3D (mainly will be done on my desktop). 3- Travel photos, backup and light editing. 4- Usual web browsing, office stuff. I am torn about which configuration would be ideal for my needs. I don't want to overspend, new Mac Book Pros are apparently on the way in the next few months? Will be using an external SSD too. Option A- Apple MacBook Air - 2025 13.60", M4, 16 GB, 256 GB, CH CHF838 or OptionB- Apple MacBook Air - 2025 13.60", M4, 24 GB, 1000 GB, CHF 1400 or Option C- Apple MacBook Pro 14 - 2024 14.20", M4, 32 GB, 1000 GB, CHF2100. or any other configuration? Thanks EDIT-Ideally I would have preferred a Windows laptop, but my experience with Windows laptop have been shit (Dell, Asus), so not risking again! Plus battery life, reliability is better on the Macs (so I hear).

I bought a 14 ZenBook UM3402 a few months ago and am dissatisfied. Unfortunately, I need a new one with a focus on longevity. I'm now confused as to which one I should buy: - ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED, UX3405 - ASUS Zenbook S 14 OLED, UX5406 - ASUS ZenBook 14, UX3406 All about the same price. I don't want the A 14 because of "ARM". Thanks for any tips!
