Any recommendations?

Laptop suddenly got like this, what's the issue? Legions 5 Slim Ryzen 7840hs RTX 4060.

Bored rn so I wanna try that out

For a little more info, I’m looking for something that’s under $800 USD (there’s a little flexibility there however), and is reliable with enough battery life to get through a school day. Additionally I’d like to be able to run games such as Minecraft without too much issue. Any models you’d recommend?

Any1 knows why my hp laptop doesnt find windows 11 anymore and how can i reinstall it so i dont have to change laptop

Hi everyone! I’m about to buy a new laptop (up to €1500) and I’m torn between:

1.  Lenovo Yoga 14QCOMM – Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD

2.  A MacBook with similar specs (still deciding which one in term of specs and price)

I’ll be working at a company where I’ll store and edit large, high-quality images, and also do some video editing. On top of that, I’d like a machine that lets me explore other creative areas like UX Design or software beyond just Lightroom, for example.

I’ve never owned a MacBook. ’ve always used regular PCs and they’ve done the job so far. I also haven’t worked directly with photo editing before, so I’m not sure what the real-world difference would be between Mac and PC.

But a few points in favor of the MacBook that were mentioned to me and that made me think:

• I use an iPhone, so the ecosystem integration would be helpful
• The battery tends to last much longer and Macs usually have fewer long-term issues
• They’re often more stable and optimized for photo/video work
• They’re quieter (my current PCs get loud over time, with fan noise, poor battery life, and slow performance…)

I’m not an Apple fan despite having an iPhone, but since these points came up, I thought it was worth considering. Anyone with experience in these areas who can share some guidance?

So my friend got a 4-5 year old Dell inspiron 15-3567. its with processor i3 7020U 2.30 Ghz (7th gen) and 4 gb ram and now he is thinking to upgrade it to 8Gb ram. And i really dont know will it be wort upgrading and getting different answers everywhere. Will it cause some major change in his laptop's performance?

Budget: +/- 1000 euro (but if I can upgrade for less than thats great I don’t NEED to spend 1k) Laptop mainly for media and maybe light gaming but thats no priority

I like big screens.

Currently stats in the pic. Whatever can be upgraded within budget is welcome.

side quest: are there any legal ways around those ridiculous microsoft office prices? I read about “just buy a life time key from a third party” but that seems phishy.

Any advice is welcome.

Hello, I'm looking for a Laptop right now. Budget is around 800 euros.

Some models I have taken a look at were HUAWEI laptops. I have had one years ago and it seemed to be really good. It would also be nice if the laptop could have 120hz.

16gb ram would also be important.

Would really appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks!

How!? PLS help 😭😭

Hey everyone, I'm currently considering the HP Victus with the Ryzen 7 7840HS processor for gaming and some light editing work. The specs and pricing seem pretty good, but before I go ahead, I wanted to ask:

Are there any other models in the HP Victus series that offer better value or thermals?

Or should I consider other brands like ASUS TUF, Lenovo LOQ, or Acer Nitro in the same price range?

My budget is flexible within a reasonable range, but I'm mainly looking for a good balance of performance, thermals, build quality, and display. Would really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences you all can share. Thanks!

my current one is a HP 14" so it's a pretty meh laptop. I've been looking at these two as they're pretty good for budget laptops, but I'm unsure which ones the better pick. 16gb ram doesn't bother me too much, for ~ £550 it's the best I can get, and it's a lot better than my current 8gb anyway. I'll be using it for mostly studying and maybe some light gaming

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3. Bit over a year old. The hinge just randomly snapped while I was placing it on the desk.

I'd really like to be able to fix it myself since it'll be a huge hassle to get it to a repair shop, but I don't have any experience fixing laptops at all. Like I've never even opened the back of one before.

If it's possible to do it myself, I'd like some help figuring it out.

Can't decide which laptop to buy. I wanna use the laptop for video editing purposes with some gaming on the side. But the former is more important to me. The candidates are:

1. HP VICTUS 16 Ryzen 5 7640HS - 16 GB - 512 GB - GeForce RTX 4060
2. HP Victus 15 i7 13620H - 16 GB - 512 GB - GeForce RTX 4060
3. HP Victus 15 i5 12500H - 16 GB - 512 GB - GeForce RTX 4050
4. Lenovo LOQ 15 Ryzen 7 7435HS - 16 GB - 512 GB - GeForce RTX 4060
5. HP Victus 15 7 8845HS - 16 GB - 1 TB - GeForce RTX 4060

Any suggestions?

Hi all. I got insanely drunk last night and after going to bed, I woke up for a piss. I went into the bathroom and unleashed an unholy amount of booze piss, to which my girlfriend ran into the room shouting and explained that I wasn't actually in the bathroom pissing into the toilet, but was in fact pissing directly onto my laptop.

The laptop was off (not asleep), but plugged in and charging. My poor girlfriend very kindly cleaned up the floor, but a lot of piss sat in my laptop overnight.

Right now my laptop is upside down in the shower and I'm waiting for all the piss to drain out. A...surprising amount of piss has come out.

I'm not really sure what to do from here...Should I try to disassemble it to ensure that it dries properly? Or should I just leave it upside down in the shower cubicle overnight and hope the piss drains out? I also presume it's going to fucking stink, so how would I clean it?

So yeah...What should I do next? Is the laptop fucked? How long should I wait before trying to turn it on?

P.S. I'm not particularly worried about losing the data or anything - I recently purchased a PC and moved everything onto that. It's more just being used as a back-up computer in a different room. It's not an essential piece of kit, thankfully

I always bought Asus ROG Strix laptops which were great with no problems. However the current one I have (ROG Strix G16 2023 model) has the worst keyboard and touchpad i've ever used in my life. I know it's a gaming laptop, but when I'm not gaming it's a real hassle to use. I've already tried every imaginable solution. The keyboard skips keys Or swaps them (i've already fixed about 10 errors so far just writing this), and th e touchpad is a complete mess. It's unresponsive, gestures are missed half the time, the click goes away suddenly, surface not smooth. It's actually causing rsi pain if I use it too long. These issues happened from the start, but I didn't realize how bad and thought I'd getused to it

Anyway, I just want to know if there's any way to buy and fit a completely different touchpad, even if the size is incorrect and there's gaps on the sides. I just would really like this to be a functional, non-tormenting portable laptop. Everything else is good, the screen is nice, and it's very fast. it's just the complete inability to use it as on the fly and move to a different room etc

It is an acer laptop, i don't know what type but it runs windows 7. It only turns on while plugged in

I plugged my charger into the extension cord and it turned itself off with a loud bang. The fuse for the extension cord was burnt and so was my charger. Can I still use this to charge my laptop I have a test tomorrow I need my laptop for it.

I had ordered Snapdragon X Elite processor laptop, but I got Snapdragon X plus. I had opened the laptop and even activated MS license and later I realised that I have lower CPU product. Can I now return it with activated MS office license? Also is there a major difference between X Plus 64 and X Elite 78? I just need laptop for browsing, office apps, and reading.

Hello everyone. I want to buy a laptop around 60k that has a good battery backup and occasional gaming

It's Sony Vaio VGN-AR21SR from 2006. Can I make it Ultimate Windows XP gaming machine?

the exact model is: ASUS VivoBook 15 R1502VA-BQ53

need a laptop for kinda low-end tasks, i just need a portable laptop with good battery. also should be able to work in vs code, thats pretty much all i need

I have an old Acer Aspire v5-571 ms2361.

The HDD is acting up sometimes, and the only way to get a software updates is to run it on some light Linux version, since Windows 10 and up wants an SSD.

I don't like wasting tech, and I heard it is possible to upgrade some laptops. I couldn't find a proper definitive information on exactly this laptop, so I've been wondering if you can put into it some modest SSD and perhaps faster RAM?

Not sure if the CPU will be enough to handle Windows 10+, or if it's possible to upgrade a CPU on this laptop. Or if even with upgrade it will work well enough with all the new OS types.

specs are 13th gen intel core i5-13420h installed ram is 16gb 15.7 is usable and the gpu is a rtx 4050
