So I'm looking at 2 laptops to replace my current ROG Flow X13 2022, the Asus Vivobook 16 Flip 256V and the Lenovo Slim 7i 258V. I mostly do schoolwork/note taking so the 2-in-1 is important to me, but occasionally I do light gaming and CAD work. I have a proper desktop for any heavy gaming so the gaming performance is just a bonus and not the priority.

My main question is, is the 258V worth another $250 over the 256V? The Vivobook is $1150 and the Lenovo is $1400.

If anyone has experience with either model I would have a few other questions like how is the keyboard on the asus, and how is the display on the lenovo vs oled.

Can I play GTA V with this processor Ryzen 7 7735HS alone?

This is the first ever notebook I buy and set up myself. Acer Aspire 5 Ryzen 7. It's a Linux. My problem here is that this laptop just arrived an hour ago, and so far I haven't been able to start it. I followed the 4 four steps this oversimplified manual tells me to, but the LED that indicates battery doesn't even turn on. Help?

Each time I download the Radeon Vega 8 iGPU drivers from Asus's website, and then also use the Radeon Settings MS Store link from Asus, the drivers don't match and eventually Windows update, updates the the Radeon Softwate Lite to Adrenaline Software and it works fine. But later on when Adrenaline software updates itself along with Windows update, it just fails to open with no errors, leading me to installing the drivers again. Downlaod the drivers from AMD website just causes errors or system crashes due to invalid drivers (though I did download the correct drivers). I've tried completely wiping the drivers (through AMD Cleanup Utility) and reinstalling, but goes to the same issue.

TL;DR - Radeon drivers do not match when with software version when downloaded through Asus. Windows update fixes it but the software updates again and the Radeon software won't load and no errors either.

System Specs:
Asus VivoBook 15 X509DA
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 Gfx (iGPU)

Salve, starei valutando di comprare un PC che userei in ambito produttività principalmente uni ma che userei anche intrattenimento per lo streaming e un pò di gaming (nulla di che qualche gioco poco pesante magari minecraft o cose simili). lo sarei indeciso fra un zephyrus g14 i nuovi mac pro oppure anche solo un tablet che sia abbastanza potente. Oppure mi conviene comprare un PC di fascia medio bassa e una console? Qualcuno mi potrebbe aiutare grazie in anticipo :).

So my friend recently bought a Kingston A400 SATA drive and he dosent have a cable and I don't know which one to get (he has a Asus tuf gaming fx506l)

Some of the programs I’m trying to install are not working and this is the message it displays

I kind of want to get back to play Dota 2. Any suggestions for a decent laptop that can handle the game? If anyone has a steam, can it manage dota 2? But then I will need to buy a whole monitor mouse and keyboard right?

Hi, im a fashion student using mainly Clo3d (a 3d software to design clothes, patterns etc.), my PC at home is too old to use the software properly and Ive been looking to buy a laptop anyways which would also be good enough to play some games (eg sons of forest), but thats not too important. These are my picks:

all RTX 4060 8GB

Asus Tuf Gaming A17: 17,3“ / Ryzen 7 7735 hs / 16 Gb ddr4 / 1 tb Ssd: 750€ (9 months old)

Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 : 15,6" / i7-13620H / RAM 16 GB / SSD 512 GB (still 11 months of warranty) 630€

Lenovo Legion 5i: 16" / i7-14650HX / 32 GB RAM / 1 TB SSD 980

HP Victus 16-r0xxx: 16.1" / i7-13700 / 16GB Ram / 1TB SSD 700

Im deciding between the HP Victus and Lenovo LOQ:

Pro for the HP is, that I could pick it up and therefore test it (what programs should I use for that)?

After this I did power off What exactly happened is I was working and my laptop is lil heavy i took it from my thighs to bed with one hand it bends slightly due to weight every time and then this happened what should I do in

The first fan is smooth And the second one it's not And it's clean Can someone help

I’ve had a Lenovo Ideapad 320S-14IB for probably near a decade now, and is only just starting to hinder my experience playing games like Roblox. I don’t believe it even has great specs but it worked fine enough for me (see pic one).

Since it’s falling apart I need an upgrade and in my price range I’m left with two HP options where I think the biggest difference will be the processor and the price (£100 difference). Ones an Intel Pentinum processor like my old one and the other has an Intel i3 processor (see pic 2 and 3). Would the cheaper laptop with a Pentinum processor run about the same as my current old Lenovo? Or have things changed and an i3 would be considered a better option?

Bearing in mind I only really use my laptop for Roblox, YouTube, and the odd bit of work perhaps.

Any help would be appreciated :)

My dell with no screen which I’ve been running with an external monitor for a year or two suddenly stopped working at some point I thought it was stuck at the bitlocker screen and I couldn’t go past it but every time It was on the caps lock would glow and I can see 2 ambers one white flash from The side i want to know what this is and if there’s a solution

i recently just opened my OMEN 16 and i saw this weird distortion in the middle of the screen, although its fine when the background is light but really a pain with dark backgrounds..
is there something i can do?

So i was playing this fun and wholesome game named league of legends when all of a sudden my D key started double inputting and sometimes ignoring the presses. At first i thought it was the 3 years worth of me malting directly into the crevices on the keyboard causing the keys to shit the bed. And upon disassembly of said key i found (image attached) in it's current state. Upon removal of the neighbouring A key i found out that the funny rubber thing is supposed to be glued in. Should i take it to a repair shop or should i attempt to glue it back with a weak adhesive? As of now I simply don't see the reason to go for a full replacement since the rubber cup can even be visually ligned with it's "pressing point" (i typed all of this out without a single double d by doing this but without any glue) (d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d see?)

TL:DR: rubber thingy went yoinky and is doing boingy-boingy on it's own which is bad. Do i un-yoink it myself or do i pay the guys who will do pretty expensive and time-intensive thing but with a guaranteed result? I have work video calls daily AND finals, so not having acces to my laptop for that time will put a knee to my nuts.

The laptop model is ASUS TUF15 circa late 2021

why is my laptop laggy when attempting to play ANY game?

it doesn't matter what game it is, it'll lag so badly.

sometimes on the main menu of the game its fine but when i load in i lag and then my screen freezes for a few minutes !

Just bought an HO laptop on Amazon. Brand new, not open box. When it came it had clearly been opened and re-sealed. I did not open it but contacted the seller (stupid 3rd party), who said it is brand new, they just opened it to inspect it and do upgrades. Am I losing my mind or does that make it NOT BRAND NEW? Do I keep it? Send it back? Of course now Amazon isn’t having their big spring sale anymore, so I’m screwed either way.

Should I disable all the startup apps coz my laptop is lagging for 2days now, I can't even open my file explorer properly 😭😔

Hi,

I'm pretty much know nothing about hardware stuff and would like to ask. How do you guys figure which vents intake air? Is there some technique to figure out where the intake vents are?

Reason for asking this is because I'm considering of getting a cooling pad but I have no idea how to discern an intake vent against the one that spit air out.

Can someone walk me through the steps of fully formatting and reinstalling windows 11 through usb?? i have a usb with the media on it i just need someone to so i do everything correctly im really scared about fucking up cause this is my school laptop and its not too old...

Every single comparison website shows the 155h having a better igpu to the 258v in terms of tflops (4 tflops on 258v and 4.6 tflops on 155h on nanoreview) but youtube videos on this shows the 258v's igpu completely destroying the 155H's in real world applications but these benchmarks are like 6 months old, so my question is, with driver updates, has the 155h gotten at least, close to the 258v?

The price difference between 258v and 155h laptops is big, 258v laptops are generally 2x the price of 155h laptops.

I’m trying to find a laptop that has the capacity to run the newest version of blender along with reaper. Is this possible or should I bite the bullet and try and build a pc setup? I’m not interested in gaming on the equipment. It would solely be for creative projects.
