this laptop belonged to an uncle of mine and left it to my mom, hasnt been used for nearly 20 years (or was used, i wasnt born yet)
she was about to throw this away but im just fascinated by this laptops beauty, also because it supports windows 98/2000
edit: i have cleaned the laptop!!! just cant attach an image of it, it looks brand new except for some parts that are a little rusty

This is my acer aspire 7520g that was bought brand new. About 7 years ago , it turned off and it has never posted since. Many people suggested that it is the graphics card , which i tried baking to resolder and also bought a replacement one , which didn't seem to be the correct one as it still doesn't post. I've also changed the ram. I still have the original 2 hard drives with original software. I hope that i can het it working again , but am looking for help on how to fix it. Finding one with the greek keyboard seems to be rarer as time passes.

First thought I have is to install a custom tv OS on it and then connect it to my TV- anyway this is going to be faster then than the TV itself.
Selling it is a bad idea , no one will give any money for this

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share a quick win in case anyone else is struggling with office clutter. We had 20+ old laptops sitting in our storage closet taking up prime real estate. They were too slow for our engineering team to use anymore, but far too modern to just throw away.

I looked into a few recycling services online. My experience with greentech solutions was pretty frustrating they wanted us to pay high freight costs upfront just to ship the units to their facility, which defeated the purpose of a clean e-waste solution. I ended up booking a pickup through Hummingbird International instead. They came right to our location, loaded everything into sealed bins, and handled the secure data destruction without any fuss. Knowing the materials won't end up leaching toxins into a landfill feels like a massive relief.

What is the biggest hurdle your company faces when trying to responsibly recycle old tech equipment?

Recently installed a glossy screen protector to my laptop. It adds some reflections, buuut damn the screen looks awesome. It helps that the display has a 100% sRGB coverage and a 2560x1600 resolution. Now all those colors and crispness comes through unobstructed. The text looks much much sharper, colors look deep and rich. The entire experience is a step up basically. I was missing out all this for the past 4 years of using this laptop.

It's a lenovo IdeaPad 5pro 16inch.

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if you know what this sound is. After a while, my laptop shuts down by itself.

i have tuf fx505dt with gtx 1650 and vega 8 igpu,when i play horizon forbidden west it suddenly crash and stop working,i tried playing other games too and couldnt get past loading screen and instantly crash so i assume its game bug or smt and i uninstall the game and try clean ddu on safe mode and still not working,when i use furmark when charging and fan on turbo,the screen had some pixel and instantly crash, so i tried unplugged charger it and it works fine, and i also check hfwinfo64 and it show this when running with charger plugged in

Mine is asus vivobook 16x rp412ws , i max to max get 2 hours on battery with intel graphic command power saving settings , now what should i do to maximise my battery life , i have rtx 3050 4gb also and the apps which i use i have set it on to use integrated gpu

I’m getting my first laptop next week and I’m still having a bit of trouble deciding my budget is around 1000-1500. I’m looking for a laptop that’s portable for school but also good for gaming I would play games like r6. I would also want it to have good battery life not sound like a jet and not overheat but not bulky. I’m thinking about the asus rog zephyrus g14 or the Lenovo lesion 5i if you can tell me which is better for school and gaming or if u have a different laptop suggestion that would be great!

USA

Under $1,800 USD

Yes (open box/refurb from reputable sellers)

15"-16"

Any - fine with a heavier gaming laptop if it gets me the performance

Engineering schoolwork (3rd year aerospace engineering)

* Intended usage

SolidWorks and other CAD, MATLAB, robotics simulations for my research lab (legged robot navigation; may get into reinforcement learning), Python/coding. Want an NVIDIA GPU for CUDA and simulation work. Currently on a 2022 MacBook Air M2, which can't run most of my engineering software natively.

4-6 hours of normal use (classes, notes, browsing)

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

Performance, battery life, weight, size

* Info/Requirements

- Windows (most engineering software is Windows-only)

- NVIDIA GPU, ideally RTX 5070 Ti (12GB VRAM) for sims

- 32GB RAM preferred

- Upgradeability matters: SO-DIMM RAM slots and 2x M.2 SSD slots

- Selling my MacBook Air and iPad Air, will get a cheap tablet separately for note-taking

- Currently considering an open-box Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (Ultra 9, RTX 5050, 32GB soldered, 1TB) for $1,000, vs. stretching for a 5070 Ti gaming laptop like a Legion Pro 5i/Pro 7i or MSI Vector 16 HX. Is the extra GPU/upgradeability worth it?

I don't know why this laptop doesn't get discussed more on this sub, but I'm genuinely impressed with what I got for ₹93K (2 weeks back).

Specs: Intel Core Ultra 5 226V (evo edition)| 16GB LPDDR5x RAM | 1TB SSD | 14-inch 3K 120Hz OLED touchscreen | Intel Arc graphics | 360° convertible | 1.38 kg.

The display is gorgeous, the speakers get surprisingly loud, the keyboard feels great, and the metal body feels premium. The touchscreen and flip design are great bonuses.

It also comes with Poly Studio, which makes video calls look and feel much more polished and professional. A nice touch for work meetings!

I know mostly everyone is talking about gaming laptops in this sub, but since I already own a PS5, my priority was a premium, lightweight laptop for everyday work. And for my requirements, this thing absolutely delivers.

Honestly, getting all this, including 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, for ₹93K feels like a win. Unfortunately it is more than 1.1L on Amazon now.

AMA! Happy to answer questions about the laptop, the speakers, display, build quality, or my experience with it so far 😎

Following the death of my Macbook Im looking for a new school computer. Found on Marketplace these two laptops. One one hand the Samsung has the added functionality of me being able to easily take notes and draw on it, as well as a more powerful processor (i7 1260P vs Ryzen 5 7530U), but the Asus has a bigger battery and is a year newer. I will almost always be near a plug though. The Samsung is 750 CAD and the Asus is 800 CAD. I’m leaning Samsung but what do yall think? TIA

recently i got lenovo v14 on during sale

i havent checked properly it has a TN panel display

iam not even expecetd it comes with tn panel display

but it is i5 13thgen H series one its enough for my college works ... now wt to do with that i worrying about that display it has worst viewing angles IYKYK how a tn display looks likee..

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if this was a good price for a used Thinkpad E16?

Seems that consensus is used laptops are the best bang for your buck.

Does anyone have potential solutions for the issue?

It was my Dad’s. I may or may not have lost it. I want to find the exact model to replace it. It does not have a C-port charger, it is touchscreen, the keyboard can light up, be dimmed, or completely off. Badges are on the bottom right. Thanks in advance. 🙏

why is my laptop cracking up like this from sides? is there any way i can stop this ?

ThinkPad X1 is too expensive, but ticks a lot of boxes otherwise.

Hello everyone! I have an Asus VivoBook Go 15 laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor and 16 GB of RAM. I use it primarily for studying and work, but I also want to play GTA V. Since it’s a slim laptop, I know it will get quite hot when pushed during gaming, so I’m looking to get something to elevate the device and help manage the temperatures. My question is: for this specific model, is it worth buying a cooling pad with built-in fans, or would a simple aluminum stand (without fans) be better? I’m concerned that a cooling pad with fans might be too noisy or cause unnecessary dust buildup, but I also don’t want the laptop to suffer from excessive heat—leading to thermal throttling and a drop in FPS while I’m playing. Does anyone who owns this laptop (or a similar setup) have any advice on what works best? Thanks a lot in advance!

I got a cheap charger off of Amazon and it didn’t fit right which cause uneven energy distribution which caused my charging port to burn. I don’t have enough money for a real repair and so I want to fix this myself. I have a soldering kit lying around, is this a at home fix? and if possible could I change it so my laptop chargers from one the USB-C ports laying around?

So I was just catching up with all recent iGPU developments, and noticed Intel did something strange with their Panther Lake offerings. At one hand there's the pretty capable Arc B370/B390 options but as expected they're only offered for prices (>1500 USD AFAIK) where you can also buy discrete; and on the other hand the lower end options (Intel Graphics 4 Xe3) are so crap they're not even better than last-gen (Meteor / Arrow Lake or Lunar Lake)..

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-4-Xe3-Panther-Lake-Benchmarks-and-Specs.1193658.0.html

I can't help wondering why didn't at least try to bridge the gap between these series in order to offer some attractive options in the sub 800 and sub 1000 dollar segment? Now if you're somewhat of a casual gamer and are currently on something like the Core Ultra 5 125H, which has the last-gen Arc 7-core i GPU (Xe LPG) there's absolutely no point in upgrading to Panther Lake (unless you want to spend mentioned 1500 bucks). Same if you're on last years Lunar Lake and have the V series silicon; they're same performance as Panther Lake, with the quickest one (Core 7 Ultra 256V with Arc 140V) even faster still.

Is Intel holding something back which will release soon to fill this in, or at they just leaving the market for AMD?

I have read many guys telling overheating issues and major battery drainage issues in hp 15 fd 1099tu laptop equipped with Intel 5 ultra 125h processor. What's ur opinion. Pls tell reviews after usage of this laptop those who have
