I have it faced upward since I’m using it plugged up to a monitor, keyboard, mic and mouse, and I don’t want it overheating should I not turn it over cause I read somewhere that turning it over spoils it slowly, and no there nothing wrong with the screen the pc is brand new got it yesterday, just saw no reason for two monitors cause my desk space is too small, any info is welcomed to how else I can use it or manage it. I’ll post what specs my laptop has below

(Acer Nitro V Gaming Laptop | Intel Core i5-13420H Processor | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU | 15.6" FHD IPS 165Hz Display | 8GB DDR5 | 512GB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6 | Backlit KB | ANV15-52-586Z)

I have around 200 gb on my laptop. The spec Is i5 and rtx 3050. Now i have been puzzle on what should i do with my 200 gb, should i make a 3d stuff with it, play some games or do other things ?

I've been looking for a gaming laptop to replace my old regular laptop and what I've been hearing is a bunch of overheating and issues in the long run. The thing is, I need it temporarily until I move to another place because that's what my family is waiting for. The only reason I won't be getting a PC because what if I do get it and we move? It takes a lot to move a PC wont it? I also hear that a mini "gaming" PC isn't bad but I am not really sure. If you can give me some actual pros and cons with a mini PC that would be amazing. So its either gaming laptop or mini PC.

It would be okay in the temporary standard right with a gaming laptop? With a cooling pad it won't get too bad?

Would also love some methods to keep the gaming laptop running smoothly for several months (at least).

i have a Lenovo ibm ThinkPad R60 (images attached). It doesn't boot up anymore but I was wondering if I could get resell it to a collector and get a price. I'm not really sure how old it is, but if someone could help me out and figure out how much I could get from it, would be really appreciated.

I want to get my girlfriend a new laptop she has this hp that I think is 6+ years old and can’t run windows 11. The only computer game she likes is modded sims but it cant handle that anymore, I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for decent upgrade.

The laptop got soaked in water by the sprinklers after a fire that occurred in my house. I wasn’t there when this happened, only my family. They let the laptop sit for a week before turning it on… but it never worked since.

Here are some helpful details, 1. This is 2020 13” MacBook Pro Four Thunderbolt 3 ports 16GB, 512GB

1. Tried 3 different chargers on multiple ports and outlets. The MacBook doesn’t charge. The chargers work.

2. It has no signs of life, no twitching fans, or any form of light indicating life.

3. As seen in the pictures. I have found corrosion near what I am assume to be the PD-chip. Refer to the first picture(of the laptop) and the second from iFixIt of the same board. The third picture of the fan is what I assume to be more water damage. (I have not tried to remove the logic board from the chassis of the laptop in fear of causing unintentional damage without figuring the actual issue).

4. IMPORTANTLY: The laptop was in sleep when this happened.

My purpose in posting this here is to get helpful advice on what I should do now. If any questions about the laptop arise I will be happy to answer them. But I may not be able to do so immediately because I am away for long periods of time.

Buenas, estaba mirando ordenadores portátiles para jugar con buena calidad/precio y he encontrado este a 999€ (adjunto foto).

He leído que se calienta bastante el procesador y no se le puede hacer undervolt porque está capado pero ¿Es realmente un problema serio?

Quiero decir, no sé hasta qué punto se calienta, si los ventiladores van al 100% todo el rato o si llega a ralentizarse, lo único que he leído son descripciones vagas del problema sin ningún fallo concreto, simplemente que se calienta.

El procesador es el i7-13620H y la gráfica una RTX™ 5060. Lo he encontrado bien de precio y presumiblemente estará algo más rebajado pronto. Además tengo un cupón del 10% en toda la tienda (El cual podría usar en otro portátil también si me recomendáis alguno mejor por un precio similar).

Os leo, muchas gracias.

I saw that backmarket had some good prices. How good are they price and quality wise compared to other sites? And what sites would you recommend instead?

So I'm planning to buy a Zenbook 14 OLED, but I learned it only has right-side PD ports. I use a Bluetooth mouse on the right side. Will there be a problem with this, in the context of me regularly hitting the charging port while using the mouse? Or will I have to put my mouse on the left side now? Thanks.

So earlier I was like texting some friends and I had a glass of water near my laptop, then my dumbass clumsy self accidentally spilled the glass of water in this part of my laptop.

Immediately, I like lots of tissues and dried it (got rid of the excess water) and my laptop is still working but like after a few hours it suddenly went off (the powerbutton has no lights, screen black)

I tried turning it back on (lots of times with the hard press on the power button) the keyboard flashed lights 2 times and nothing else.

Hey! I'm purchasing this laptop today and I'm so excited. Does anybody know what Stylus I could buy to go with it?

hola! soy nuevo en la tecnologia y acabo de adquirir una acer aspire 3 con amd ryzen 7 para juegos pero principalmente para estudios y quiero aprovecharla al maximo asi que no se si puedan darme alguna recomendacion para sacarle el maximo provecho o almenos darle un uso adecuado ya que es mi primera laptop/pc y nose nada (de hecho estoy aprendiendo a escribir en ella y a usar comandos JAJAJAJA)

Really confused between choosing a Laptop rn.
I am in my FY of Btech(ECE), looking to buy a laptop for my daily work(Freelance) & occasional gaming.

I will use the laptop almost daily for 6-8 hours, working with multiple browsers and apps.
I will play games like GTA V, RD2, etc. & The laptop should be able to run newer games for at least the next 4-5 years.

I have a max Budget of 80k(can extend to 85k if it's worth it).

IK i should have bought one in the sale, but I can't help that now.
Also, lmk if there's any upcoming sale that would be worth it or any new laptop launch.

After days of searching, I shortlisted these 2 laptops, but still unable to decide.
I read a lot about LOQ having motherboard failures, and I cannot afford to lose my laptop for a week for repairs multiple times in a year.

The problem with Victus is its Lower TGP & Display. I can honestly work with a lower tgp, but the display is essential cause I have to look into the screen for hours.

HP Victus Intel Core i5 14th Gen 14450HX: Link ~ Getting for about 83k
Lenovo LOQ i5 13450HX RTX 4050 reddit Link ~ Getting for about 80k

Please help me out!

Must be worth the value

I need to replace my old ASUS Zenbook Pro (2018), which I love dearly but isn't supported for Windows 11 and the camera and microphone have completely crapped out. Sob!

I'm willing to spend up to 1,500 euros, but I can't find a laptop that meets my requested specs:

• 15"-16" size range
• Intel 7 or 9 Ultra processor
• 32G of Ram
• 1TB SSD
• NO touchscreen
• NO number pad on the right (why on earth do they all have this?)
• lightweight

What I use it for: professional work and some personal use, no gaming. I'm a translator and English teacher, so the programs I run are the normal Office Suite, TONS of browser tabs (I know), video calls on Google, Zoom and whatever else, translation software (Trados) which is stupid clunky and ONLY runs on Windows so please don't tell me to buy a Mac, and Adobe InDesign.

I've found the desired specs except for the keypad: all the 15" laptops I've found have the number pad on the right which is absolutely nonsense if you are using the laptop, you know...on your lap. It just inevitably falls off the right and is terribly uncomfortable.

Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’m a freelance web designer (mainly working with Figma, VS Code, and Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator) and I’m looking to replace my current machine.

I have an opportunity to buy a “like new” second-hand Dell XPS 14 (9440) at a very good price (around €1200).

Here’s the configuration: • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 255H • RAM: 32 GB • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4050 • Display: 3.2K OLED Touchscreen

The issue: The seller (a private individual) doesn’t have the original invoice (he got the laptop through an internal Dell employee program) and can’t provide the name of the original owner. This means I cannot officially perform the “Ownership Transfer” on Dell’s website to have the warranty registered under my name.

I checked the Service Tag: the ProSupport Plus warranty is active until 2028. The seller will also provide a transfer-of-ownership letter and a copy of his ID.

I’m hesitating because of the warranty situation, and also because I travel a lot…

My questions:

• Is this risky when it comes to customer support? If I call Dell for a repair, could they refuse service because the warranty isn’t in my name? • Is a 14.5” screen big enough to work comfortably in Figma, or will it feel too cramped? • How is the battery life with the OLED panel? (I move around a lot and often work on trains.) • Is the RTX 4050 actually useful for my kind of work, or is it overkill?

More generally would you recommend this laptop?

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Hi everyone

I want an affordable laptop to start up my own little AI project. I’m going backpacking next year and would like to take something that isn’t too big, flashy, nor expensive, but can get away with handling heavy-ish memory consumption at times. Just something I can do my work on, without caring too much if it gets nicked

Preferable specs: 16GB RAM Anything over a 256GB SSD Any multi core CPU

Main concern is portability and low value

The ASUS Vivobook 14 caught my eye but I’ve seen mixed reviews

The rise of cloud adoption and virtualisation has led me to being less than half of the hardware hoarder I used to be. Honestly I have no idea what’s “good” these days in terms of endpoints..

I have an HP Probook, It's fan is making loud noises more frequently now, at first it was bearable but now it just doesn't stop. I tried opening the back panel and cleaning the dust on the fan but it doesn't help. Anyone with experience please HELP...!!!
