hello, my ram on my lenovo legion 5 arh7 broke and I'm trying to buy a new one but rams are so expensive nowadays. I'm on a tight budget as a student but also loves gaming.

I'm asking if 1 stick of 16gb is better than 2 sticks of 8gb. a lot say 16gb is better due to the possibility of upgrading in the future but with the prices as it is I don't think I'll ever go for a 2x16gb. I need opinions

It seems there is a bright future for integrated graphics, given how much they are evolving.

The screw head is broken I did every size logical, did the rubber ban method , I don’t want to drill it.
Any good suggestions pls

also how do i check my laptop battery health?
( i bought this laptop last jan)
edit: it was actually 3hrs at 91%

Thanks to the "anniversary25" coupon on HP US's site

base model with 32GB and 18 core N1X & slightly cut down GPU starts at $2249 now, and you can pay $325 extra to upgrade to the 20 core N1X (with the literal desktop 5070 GPU)

or even go all the way to 128GB RAM for $3832

im looking for an used laptop and found a dell latitude 3420 (second hand) that fits my already tight budget, i think it might be a temporary replace for my old laptop that died, but i just wanna game cs2, gta v, minecraft and maybe, if it can run it, resident evil 2 remake. could this and 16gb of ram (3200mt/s) pull it at stable fps on low settings??

So guys bought my first laptop at 62k

It's not that good but had less budget so....

Probably gonna use for like coding and all so could u guys tell me is it good or just some average laptop that's not so good performance

Actually it’s my old laptop and today i try to open it and use it but it hangs a lot… is there any suggestion so thag i can able to work with this laptop?

I've looked a little through the other posts but I guess having my own post would help me more.

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Country: Germany

Budget: 700-800 Euros

Are you open to refurbs/used: No

Screen size: 15"-16"

Weight limit: Don't care

Purpose: Mostly to study and write, entertainment like music and streaming services, video/ conforence calls, should be able to work with AI since I test different programms in a part-time job.

I do a lot of research online and type quite a lot. I've had the problem that often used keys on my keyboard stopped working after a while.

Form factor: Standard/Clamshell (a regular laptop)

Desired battery life: around 6h

I would like to work with a Windows Laptop again. So far I had acer, dell and hp. Maybe around 500 GB SSD, at least 16 maybe 32 RAM. I have no idea what kind of graphic card or what else is important. Not a big fan of the AMD ones. I used i5 and i7 so far.

The AI usage for my job is mostly to test if the programms used are good at what they are intended for. I don't code or do much else with them.

Any help is appreciated 🙏😊

Hello cross posting from the suggest a laptop subreddit looking for some helpful feedback!

Budget
$500 ideally but willing to go up to $600 if that makes a difference.

Are you open to refurbs/used options?
Maybe

Screen size
Any

Weight limit
Any

Purpose
For fun

Form factor
Clamshell preferred

Intended usage

I would like to get into animation and some basic design softwares maybe 3D printing. However I know nothing about laptops or design and am very much a beginner outside of some basic photoshop and SolidWorks. I hear Krita and Blender are a good place to start so as long as I can run those with no issues that’s really all I’m looking for.

Desired battery life
Anything

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

Performance is all I care about. The rest I’m very flexible with.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions! Apologies for my lack of knowledge on the subject.

I've tried everything. Reinstalling the update through the the settings when it actually loads and it's refusing to go into safe mode

Hello, I have searched for a laptop for around 1500euro, but nothing good caught my eye, so I decided not to up my budget, but to go lower and i would like ur help for buying one. I aim for - good battery life not the best, but with the best possible display in mind, gaming - nothing more than league of legends and some browser games. The weight should also be no more than 1.5kg. I hope u can give me some good options ☺️

I was gaming on my laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15IMH05 81Y4 on W11 when i got a BSOD, checked temps on task manager and noticed that the discrete GPU, NVIDIA GTX 1650, was nowhere to be found, checked device manager and there it was, code 43. So far i've done the following:

• Uninstalled drivers with DDU on safe mode and installed latest NVIDIA drivers. Also tried older drivers which didn't fix the issue.
• Disabled and Re-enabled the GPU from device manager.
• Power drain.

I also switched to a clean installation of W10 and did the aforementioned, which didn't help. Also flashed the BIOS with the latest version (even though I already had it) which also did nothing.

I'm honestly lost here, my best guess is that the VBIOS corrupted due to overheating but I haven't been able to find my GPU's BIOS. GPU's ID is: 10DE 1F99 - 17AA 3FA2. GPU Z DOES recognize the NVIDIA GPU but it shows Unknown on many areas like the BIOS version or memory type. Talking about memory, GPU Z shows the memory size is 0MB. Also, the GPU's name does show up on things like msinfo32 or BIOS.

By the way, I did open up my laptop and when i checked the die (at least i think that's its name) there was some thermal paste on some pins around it, which makes me think that the GPU just died lol. Anyway, is there anything else i could try? Or should i just give up on it?

For context I (23m) need to buy my first laptop after using an iPad for my whole adult life because of a new job I’m starting. I am not the most tech savvy person so I have very little concept of what my options are.

I was told the program I’d be using at my job should be compatible with any laptop, as it can be accessed online, but it is a very new program

Besides work, I imagine I’ll use it in my free time to:
-Watch YouTube, or possibly stream shows
-Write on Word or Google Docs
-Possibly get into video editing, but only if it has the capability. Not a must-have
-Maybe store some photos/videos that I don’t have room on iCloud for
-Never been into gaming much, but now that I have a laptop I might depending on its capabilities. Again, not a must-have

I'm buying a laptop for some gaming and light video editing. I found 2 used laptops in my budget around 300$ and these are the specs

Lenovo t15p

i7 11800h 8 ram gtx 1650 with max q design

Msi

i5 10210u , 16 ram , GeForce mx 250

The new Lenovo Ideapad Vibe just released for pre-order and I’ve had my eye on it for a while. Love Lenovo laptops and love the fun colors of this release.

I would love some help configuring the best model of it. For memory I’m going with 16GB. What should I do for Processor? Any other specs I should consider? I kind of want to max it out!

I’ll be using it for everyday things, email, work, light photo editing, nothing crazy. I will also be doing some light gaming on it, don’t need anything intense.

Would love some opinions on a configuration build out for it! Let me know if you have any questions that can help with the build!

Why my laptop do this when pointer go certain area like search bar or something. What causes this? Can be repair? Help me , please

yellow,

I'm not sure where I should ask this but I recently bought this laptop https://www.asus.com/fr/laptops/for-home/vivobook/asus-vivobook-16-oled-m1605/

And can't seem to find a solution for a problem on dead keys like ^^, instead of waiting for an input, it instantly enters both accents, the same happens for ¨¨. Doesn't seem to be a hardware related issue, nor about the region my keyboard is set in. These keys do work when writing on things like the Windows start menu search bar, etc. And it actually works rarely for a while, and I have no idea what could be the cause.

Danke.

I can't power it on. I plug the laptop but its charging light doesn't on and can't trun it on. I decided to open it to see is there are any problems. Any idea?
Side note: The battery died and I have to plug my laptop 24/7 to use.

Looking to get a new laptop as my old HP Spectre X360 (loved this thing) is on the end of its life

I’ve come across a lot of options and now feel more confused based on my needs. I do a little bit of gaming (would like to run Minecraft and terraria at high FPS), video editing, business work, and have gotten into AI coding.

People rave about laptops like the MacBook Pro. I have heard good things about ASUS and Lenovo laptops. I need something that will fit my needs and is portable as I travel a lot. Let me know your best recommendations and the specs that I should get. At a minimum I’m thinking 16 GB ram (also considered 24 GB) and 1 TB SSD.

Let me know your thoughts and recommendations.

Edit: I just realized I have to fill out this form. Hopefully this helps
