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?

What do you do in situations like this? Do you apply stickers, laptop skins, or something similar?

I've been looking at this laptop for 750€, is it a good choice?

I am planning to buy a laptop, but I first want to know if it is possible to run emulators without needing a dedicated graphics card. For instance, what about a gpu like the Intel Arc B390? I’ve heard it’s a new model.

One thing I don't want on my laptop is security software that eats up resources when I'm just browsing or working. Windows Security is already there, so I'm trying to figure out whether paying for another antivirus actually makes a noticeable difference. I've come across options like Norton and McAfee, but I'm more interested in real-world performance than a long list of features. My main concerns are reliable protection, low resource usage, and not being constantly interrupted by notifications. For anyone who's used third-party antivirus software on a Windows 11 laptop, did you notice any difference in performance compared with the built-in protection? Which option would you consider worth the money, if any?

I have been gaming for almost an year on my Acer Aspire Ryzen r7 7000 series with 16 GB ram, AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics (496 MB) and 512 GB ssd.
Its smooth overall. I completed all Arkham Games along with hitman games and a few others to name.
But the newer games run very laggy and even the ones I already play heat up my laptop because of all the performance.
I have been considering an external graphics card for a while but I want to know whether they are worth the purchase or not.

I was traveling with it and dropped the bag it was in.

please help, I don’t know what to do, my mom’s gonna kill me. This is the computer I use for school, anf it has all my stuff in it. We don’t have money for repairs or a new monitor, im so so so scared

I want to buy a 16 gb ram for my Asus tuf f15 ( with Intel i5 11400H, rtx 3050, 8 gb ddr4 3200 Mhz ram ). So should i consider this 16 gb ram at 9,999 for my laptop , Is it legit ? Please reply.....

I am a l cyber security student and I need a laptop for uni.

And I found 2 laptops the first is a Thinkpad e14 gen 8 (core ultra 7 265V ) for 4299 qar = 1180.40usd or the Lenovo loq 15 (amd Ryzen 7 250 rtx 5050) for 4899 qar =1345usd

Note that both laptop are 16gigs/512 and the loq has upgradeable rams but the Thinkpad is not somehow .

And if there any other laptop fill feel free to share.

I desperately need a replacement laptop as mine is completely shutting down.

Put it down on the bed too hard? The screen goes black and I have to completely shut it off with the power button and restart. Use it without a charger for more than two minutes? Dead. Trying to use Bluetooth? Driver stops working and it has to be restarted again.

Technically it's still usable (luckily because I still have to save more for a new one) but as soon as I can get a new one I will.

So, what should I get? I want a windows laptop that I can transfer everything on my old one onto. Other than that no major requirements. The most intense thing it has to go through is streaming and being on a video call at the same time (which even my current one does ok with when it's not dying). No plans for gaming or particularly intense software.

Budget is relatively open but I would prefer not to spend more than I actually need.

I just bought a new ho victus, and from everything I've heard, it's hinge should be maintained properly or it's gonna go out.

How do I prevent it?

When opening my laptop I noticed the base was popping out slightly on one side. I flipped it over to inspect and saw the screw was loose there and it wouldn't tighten if I tried screwing it. So then I removed the base and saw what's shown in the two images. The brass insert where the screw should go has fallen off and the plastic that held it in place has broken into bits. I tried removing the insert with tweezers but there isn't enough space to pry it out. I'd likely have to unscrew the hinges if I'm not mistaken.

How can I fix this?

I've never really fixed hardware issues before and always go to either a service center or a local laptop store but would like to do it myself if it is possible.

I don’t know too much about laptops so need some help buying a cheap laptop used mostly for YouTube, streaming shows, writing, and rudimentary gaming(yugioh master duel and magic the gathering). I looked thru this forum and found a that look decent.

Please tell me the best and worst option.

P.S. I already have a nice gaming PC for the heavy lifting, that Microcenter employee help me build.

I have no idea where to go to fix this or if it can still function, im worried that turning it on might mess something up somehow. its only been a day and i lwk miss playing roblox on it

I bought this lenovo ThinkPad t16 gen 1 with an 32 gb ram ,1 tb SSD ,12th gen intel i7 -1270p and it is an vpro version and this also has an 56.5 watthour battery and I bought these for around $700

And this was a used one with no cosmetic damage and I'm a cs student still in school I use this for youtube , browsing, sm times I think of editing and downloaded aftereffect but it lagged like hell so I switched out to davinci but never tried to edit sm lol 😂

So is this a good deal guys and I have an one year warranty for this from the seller and this is a good machine for multitasking

And one more thing guys it's battery was pristine and its percentage was around 104% and Claude said it's more than good because it is still in the early stage of its battery life but in future im thinking of maxing out on battery

Hi all,

I’d like to share my experience and ask if anyone has been in a similar situation.

A quick note on why I’m posting here: I first tried r/framework, since this is about a Framework Laptop 13 Pro, but their Rule 6 prohibits any discussion of freight forwarding to countries outside Framework’s supported list.

I live in Georgia (the country, not the US state). Framework doesn’t ship here, so like many people in unsupported countries, I use a US freight forwarder. I’ve used the same one for years for all my online purchases, with no issues.

I tried to preorder a Framework Laptop 13 Pro, but checkout kept returning an error. I contacted support, and after a day I got an email saying the order was cancelled and refunded because my shipping address was identified as a freight forwarder. Their policy only allows direct shipping to permanent residential and business addresses in supported regions.

Then came the part that surprised me. The email suggested that I could ask a friend or family member in a supported region to receive the order on my behalf. That is functionally the same thing as a forwarder: the package arrives at a US address and then gets sent on to me. The only difference is that a forwarder is a registered business with a track record, and a random acquaintance is not.

To be fair to Framework, the policy is documented, and I assume it comes from fraud prevention. My issue is with the logic, not the tone.

I’ve written back offering ID, proof of my forwarder account, and even a video call to verify the order. I haven’t received an answer yet.

What I find hard to square is the way the company presents itself. Framework’s mission is to make electronics that respect people, and a repairable laptop is built around a long relationship with the customer: upgrades, spare parts, repairs over many years. I’d expect that kind of company to look for a way to say yes to a motivated customer who is willing to verify everything, rather than a flat “no”.

Questions for the community:

1. Has anyone in an unsupported country (Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, etc.) successfully ordered through a forwarder, or received an exception from support?
2. Are there forwarders with a commercial address (warehouse instead of a mailbox store) that pass Framework’s check?
3. Is there any official reseller or regional partner I’ve missed?

I’ll update the post when Framework replies. Thanks!

Standard: I have an xp pen artist 12 that i'd like to connect to it, but i don't think i'd have any issues
Intended usage: I'm a console gamer, I just want the laptop to be able to play games only available on steam, I need to be able to play games like dressmaker, a little to the left, and wobble dogs. I also need it for schoolwork, but that's not as important.
Desired battery life: six when playing games? I need to be able to get through the school day with it.
IMPORTANCE: Performance is the only thing I think is very important
