Hardware Is this salvageable?
Have had it for years, never had problems outside of noise/heating (I expected these) but am starting to fear the inevitable explosion from the battery that is lifting my trackpad slowly but surely.
Would I, a layman, be able to just buy and replace the battery?
Is this thing even worth the trouble or just save a bit for an actual desktop (I have a monitor).

Buying help Learning AI development, with or without GPU
I am planning to buy a laptop and would appreciate some advice from people working in software development, data analytics, and AI.
I will be using laptop for these purposes:
1. AI development learning
2. software development (will be using vscode, docker, wsl, sql, etc..)
3. data analysis (will be using power bi, excel, sql, etc…)
Should i spend extra for heavy laptops with GPU or buy thinkpad or something and learn AI development in that and use some cloud service for testing models?
Also would appreciate any laptop suggestions within 1100 $.

Hardware Worth fixing for $175usd?
11+ year old retina macbook pro (early 2015) a1502. broken display. Has an i7, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd. Shop I know(where I recently got a used t14 from) said he can get iit replaced for somewhere between $150 to $175(all included).
Is that a good price? I wasn't sure if that was the official price, coz apple wouldn't share that information.
Thanks!

Buying help Decent laptop for work + light gaming recs?
Work in a school on the related service side, so think taking reports home and completing forms online. But also want something capable enough to handle a game like WoW.
Haven’t had a laptop or desktop in a few years now and have no idea where to start to look with all the new price hikes. Would ideally prefer to stay under 1.5k and don’t mind waiting for Black Friday or other future sales

General question Broken laptop screen fix?
Hi all, I recently broke my laptop during a fall and consequently broke the screen. The laptop seems to power on and function fine as I connected it to an external display and it was ok, but the screen doesnt seem to function anymore despite all my efforts. What should I be doing; look for a quick fix or just get it properly repaired?

Review Got a ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 (i7-1270P / 32GB / 1TB) for $700 – Was this a good deal?).
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

Buying help Should I buy an external Graphics card?
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.

General question Just ordered a Custom Legion Pro 7i (Glacier White / RTX 5070 Ti)! What's the real delivery timeline in India and what to check at the door?
Hey everyone,
I just pulled the trigger on a customize-to-order (CTO) Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. I'm super excited to get my hands on it, but since this is my first custom order and high end laptop, I have a few questions about the logistics here in India.
Here is the config I went with:
* Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (12GB)
* Display: 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) OLED, 240Hz, HDR 1000 True Black
* RAM: 32GB DDR5-6400MT/s
* Storage: 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD
* Color: Glacier White (with Per-Key RGB White keyboard)
* Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7 & Bluetooth 5.4
* Battery & Power: 99.9Wh / 400W AC Adapter
I have two main questions for anyone who has ordered a CTO Legion recently:
- What was your actual delivery timeline?
How long did it take for yours to arrive from the day you placed the order?
- What exactly should I check while receiving the box from the delivery guy?
When the courier is standing at my door, what are the absolute must-dos before signing or sharing the OTP?
* Does Lenovo India do Open Box Delivery (OBD) for these, or do I just accept the sealed box?
* Aside from taking an uncut unboxing video showing the shipping label, are there any red flags on the packaging that should make me refuse delivery outright?

General question I think my laptop is stuck at 144hz
So recently I bought a Major erazer X20 laptop but when I plugged it In my monitor the monitor Hz would only come up to 144hz( it's a 165hz AOC monitor) I tried changing the hdmi cable and bought a new one also that supports more than 144hz and it didn't work,tried making a new new resolution with Nvidia control panel and it worked the windows settings said 165hz but in games I could only put it to 144hz max
The laptop screen is 240hz and it's worked in games I could pull it up to 240hz
Honestly Idk what to do (my laptop only has one hdmi port so no dpi for me I guess)
I'm asking because I wanna buy a 240hz oled monitor but I don't wanna waste my money if it's gonna be stuck at 144hz like my monitor now

General question Should I remove this black mesh over my laptop vents?
The right side where there is no mesh is where the cpu fan sits. The laptop sits on a cooling pad 95% of the time, so would removing the mesh help airflow? I don't mind cleaning out the dust once in a while
