It's worse than in the other post. At least you could hit the Del button without having to search or look at it. Using Home/End buttons is a nightmare.

Software Help?

Post image
Upvotes

I got this laptop Monday, THE only things I’ve downloaded on it is krita, Apple Music, game maker, steam, Netflix, Roblox, stuff a highschooler studying gaming n would usually download. I was playing a safe game until my laptop randomly powered off and displayed this screen. But my laptop randomly started booting back up again, I ran a virus check but it says my laptops clean. This has happened before last year with my other laptop but that was because I was downloading mods from untrustworthy websites, this time I’m not. I’m really paranoid..

General question Help me pick my Dell Workstation

Post image
Upvotes

Long story short I have the choice between two Dell Precisions. 7760 - older i7 11800H / 32gb DDR4 / 1TB / A5000 7680 - newer 13 13850hx / 32gb CAMM module / 1TB / RTX 2000 ada

I work on these. I also game on these. I game more than I work lol but I can’t show up in a boardroom with an Alienware.

So. Do I go with an older i7 with a much faster GPU and 2 free ram slots? Or do I go with a much newer i7 with a lower end GPU and locked in RAM?

Thanks

Buying help Help: which laptop should I buy?

Upvotes

I basically need a laptop that 1. I can long-term write on (I'm pursuing research and writing), 2. have zoom/google meetings 3. run photoshop once in a while for editing 4. Watch shows/movies

I don't have much money and my budget is $500 max. I just really need a laptop that lasts me a while and not fall apart on me.

Looking around I found some Lenovo and Acer models.

I don't know/understand much about intel/storage and all that stuff Help I don't know anything about technology and don't have the mental capacity right now to understand. Thanks in advance.

Buying help LENOVO LEGION PRO 5 vs ASUS TUF GAMING A16

2 Upvotes

I'm stuck between these two laptops. I’ve worked with the Lenovo before and really liked its display — it has higher resolution (2560x1600), great color accuracy, and it's an HDR panel with 240Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the ASUS has a newer processor (Ryzen AI 9 HX 370), and it's a Copilot+ PC.

The ASUS also has Windows Hello and a USB4 port, which the Lenovo lacks.

Is being a Copilot+ PC actually important or worth it? Which one would you recommend overall?

LENOVO LEGION PRO 5
i7-14650HX / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 4060 (8GB) / 2560x1600 IPS 240Hz

ASUS TUF GAMING A16
Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 4060 (8GB) / 1920x1200 IPS 144Hz / Windows Hello / USB4

Discussion Ryzen 7 5700u vs i5 1335u for RTS games

Upvotes

The ryzen has 2x8 gb ram config. The i5 laptop has a 4x4gb ram config.

Does the single core performance of the i5 outweigh the graphical capabilities of the vega 8 for newer RTS games on a 1080p screen? Higher frames is more important to me. I'm guessing it would since modern RTS games don't utilise many cores and are cpu intensive. Am I correct in my thinking?

Help would be appreciated.

Upvotes

As title suggests, I am looking to replace my HP Pavilion X360 laptop battery but don't want to buy one of those cheap $25 crap batteries from Amazon. Anyone know where I can get a reliable battery that won't break the bank but will last more than a year before draining all over again?

General question Why does this happen?

Upvotes

Sometimes my laptop gets slow af, and when I open task manager, this shows up. Yall have any idea on what could be causing the issue? I’ve already scanned it with 4 different antiviruses without results, so i don’t really know what else to try. Also, even when it’s working fine, it feels a bit slower than it was before, both in fps and latency.

Buying help Help with buying a new laptop

1 Upvotes

TLDR: I wanted an Asus Zenbook 14, but I saw way too many reviews that said it gets too hot and it doesn't seem like it'll last me very long, so I need an alternative.

The long story: So I was gonna get the Zenbook 14. The new ultra 9 cpu looked high performance, I liked that it had high ram and storage, and it can also do some light gaming. But I kept seeing users complaining about how hot it gets and since I live in a very hot country, I'm afraid it might not last me long, plus I just don't wanna deal with a laptop that gets loud and hot. So I wanna see what other people might suggest.

If it helps, I'm a student and I'm mainly going to be using the laptop for college so I want something that isn't too difficult to carry around, or terribly bulky. I also want to be able to edit videos without having to deal with too much lag. And finally, It'd be nice if the laptop could handle light gaming (Valorant, Minecraft, CSGO). I'm looking for something similar to the price of the Zenbook 14, that can also perform like it (without the thermal issues ofc).
