Thanks so much. If I were stuck in a dilemma—say, choosing between an AMD Ryzen 2200 paired with an HDD versus an Intel Pentium N5000 paired with an SSD—which trade-off would be the smarter move?
Hi there, I could really use some advice on which processor I should look for in a new laptop. It’ll mostly be for basic home use—multimedia stuff, keeping a few Chrome tabs open—so I need something that won't freeze up on me. I want a machine that can handle those tasks smoothly for at least five years without any lag. What kind of processor am I looking at within a budget of roughly $2,700 - $1000? I’m a bit out of the loop regarding the newer AMD Ryzen chips. How do they actually stack up against the various Intel series? Honestly, I’ve always steered clear of AMD when shopping in this price range. I see Intel has the Intel Pentium N4000 and those Silver N series chips available. Is it possible to find an i3 or an i5 in those types of builds, and if so, what generation? Maybe I could find a 5th or 6th gen, but would that even be a smart move at this point...
Unlike what you'll see in the review, the one currently on sale actually comes equipped with an i7-6500U, a 920M, and a 256 GB SSD; everything else remains the same
I previously asked for some feedback on a Dell laptop because I didn't want to seem selfish by just demanding opinions without offering any context. Right now, I'm over in Switzerland looking for some decent deals. Does anyone have any intel on the MacBook Air? Specifically, what are the pros and cons, and how has it actually held up in real-world use? http://www.interdiscount.ch/idshop/m...n10/detail.jsf I’m not worried about the performance specs, I just really want to know how it performs long-term...
I'm on the hunt for a Wi-Fi booster. I've come across these options: http://us.dlink.com/products/access-...ange-extender/ http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...L-WA854RE.html http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...L-WA750RE.html http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...L-WA850RE.html
What would you all recommend? To be honest, this stuff is way over my head. What specific features should I actually be looking for when picking out a Wi-Fi booster?
I've got an older laptop sitting around that isn't worth much and I rarely ever touch it. I honestly can't tell if it's even worth paying a repair shop to look at. Do you think I could try to tackle this myself at home...?
My laptop won't charge at all. Even the charging indicator light isn't turning on. I haven't used the thing in about ten days, and everything was working perfectly fine until then. I tried powering it up this morning and, nothing. I tested the power adapter and I'm pretty sure it's putting out juice... Any idea what might be causing this? What kind of hardware failure am I looking at here?
I could really use some advice regarding an old printer that’s still working perfectly fine for me. I'm trying to hook it up to my laptop via USB so I can actually get some printing done, but I don't have those old-school ports that used to be standard on desktop computers.
This is what the cable that comes with the printer looks like. Now, I just need to find something that will let me connect it to a USB port on my laptop. I was thinking about ordering something from eBay.
I'm currently using a Dell Inspiron 15. I was running Windows 7, but my hard drive finally kicked the bucket on me. I'm in the process of picking up a new one, but I've been wondering—will I run into any major headaches with driver compatibility if I jump straight to Windows 10? If things turn out to be a mess, I might just settle for Windows 8 or even stick with Windows 7 again.
Boki000 Asks: Canada—easily the worst European side to ever step onto the pitch at a World Cup. 🤣 🤣 🤣
We’re standing right behind our neighbors. Honestly, making it to the World Cup is a massive win in itself. Let’s be real, though—they’re a green team and still gaining experience. Meanwhile, there are other teams out there who didn't even qualify for the tournament.
I don't want to clutter things up by starting a whole new thread, but I'm looking for some help regarding my music computer setup. Does anyone know of a player that allows for crossfading—specifically one where the current track fades out over about 5 seconds while the next one kicks in simultaneously?
Everything works perfectly fine at his place when he plugs in his own mouse and keyboard. I’ve already tested three different sets myself, and I'm still getting nowhere.
I borrowed a desktop tower from a buddy to tinker with a bit, but I've hit a snag. When I plug in my mouse and keyboard, they just don't respond at all. They work fine during the initial bootup phase—I can hit F2 without any issues to get through the BIOS settings—but once the system finishes loading and reaches the OS, both the keyboard and mouse go completely unresponsive. Any idea what might be causing this?
Hello, I’m looking for some recommendations for a wireless mouse for basic web browsing. I really need something reliable that won't quit on me in a year. My budget is up to $23 if I'm picking it up at a local retail store, or maybe around 10 bucks if I order through eBay. If you could provide a few suggestions—some available in stores and others from eBay—that would be great.
No, just head over to the Microsoft website and install it from there. You can just search Google for "download proofing tools" along with whatever language you're looking for
