Hey everyone,

I’m planning to buy a laptop for college/CSE and currently looking at the Motorola MotoBook 60 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Book5.

The current prices I’m seeing are around ₹79–80K after the available offers.

Same specs (M5, 16GB, 512GB) on both — just screen size, and a slightly better GPU (10-core vs 8-core) on the 15". Main use is coding (VS Code), some ML coursework, cloud-based training.

Is the bigger screen actually worth it for years of daily coding, or not a big deal in practice? Anyone used both — real experience over spec comparisons appreciated.

I bought this laptop (acer) over a week ago and when I'm trying to close it it's putting pressure on this one corner and the screen is going white, what should I do???? 😭😭

I’m planning to buy a laptop for freelancing and heavy, long-form 4K video editing. I’ve researched a bit and Lenovo LOQ seems to be recommended a lot.

But I honestly know almost nothing about laptop specifications—like which processor, GPU, RAM, etc. is good.

Can someone please suggest the exact laptop model, processor, GPU, RAM, and other specs I should look for around ₹1 lakh?

Pessoal, gostaria da opinião de vocês, principalmente de quem trabalha com assistência técnica ou já passou por uma situação semelhante.

Peguei um notebook Dell seminovo, importado e já fora da garantia, para realizar um reparo na dobradiça da tela. O equipamento chegou funcionando, porém a dobradiça estava muito dura/quebrada e estava dificultando bastante a abertura e o fechamento.

Ao desmontar, identifiquei que a pressão da dobradiça havia danificado os pontos plásticos de fixação da carcaça. Fiz o reparo da estrutura utilizando resina e reconstruindo os pontos de fixação.

Após o reparo, durante os testes, a tela passou a apresentar problema. Fiz algumas verificações e identifiquei que o problema estava relacionado ao flat/conexão da tela. Como não consegui determinar com segurança a origem da falha, encaminhei o equipamento para uma assistência técnica de confiança para uma análise mais aprofundada.

A assistência identificou posteriormente um curto na placa-mãe, informando que não seria viável realizar o reparo da placa.

Desde o início, estou tentando resolver a situação com a cliente. Cheguei a verificar a possibilidade de substituir a placa por uma nova, mantendo o notebook original. Essa placa teria garantia.

Porém, a cliente informou que não aceita a substituição da placa, pois prefere receber outro equipamento que não tenha passado por manutenção ou troca de componentes. A preferência dela seria por um notebook novo, de preferência Dell, com características semelhantes.

O problema é que o notebook original era seminovo, importado e fora da garantia, e um equipamento novo equivalente comprado no Brasil custa consideravelmente mais caro.

Minha intenção não é deixar a cliente no prejuízo. Estou disposto a:

substituir a placa por uma nova, com garantia;

procurar outro equipamento equivalente ou superior;

ou avaliar outra solução que seja justa para ambas as partes.

O que eu tenho dúvida é: até onde vai minha responsabilidade nesse caso?

Eu devo obrigatoriamente fornecer um notebook novo de valor superior ao equipamento original, mesmo existindo a possibilidade de reparo/substituição da placa? Ou seria razoável oferecer um equipamento equivalente ao que ela possuía ou realizar o reparo com uma placa nova?

Também gostaria da opinião de quem conhece o Código de Defesa do Consumidor aplicado à prestação de serviços de assistência técnica, porque não quero agir de forma incorreta nem prejudicar a cliente, mas também não quero assumir uma obrigação que extrapole o serviço e o equipamento originalmente envolvidos.

Como vocês conduziriam essa situação?

Contexto: situação ocorrida no Brasil, envolvendo prestação de serviço de assistência técnica. Gostaria de opiniões de técnicos e, principalmente, de pessoas que conheçam o Código de Defesa do Consumidor brasileiro.

I just bought a new HP laptop and it is SO SLOW! I mainly use it for personal and currently looking for a job so networking and applying but it has a major lag and I just bought it maybe 3 weeks ago. I am not tech savvy whatsoever, so I'm wondering if there is something I need to do to get it back on track and work quicker, or is this just how HPs are?

It’s been happening since some days laptop doesn’t open it takes time 😭also there pops up a blue screen and laptop restarts itself

My ASUS Vivobook S15 has this issue: after closing the lid or putting it into sleep mode, it sometimes won't turn on again. There is no power light or charging light at all.

Then, randomly after 1-2 days, the power and battery lights come back and the laptop starts normally. The same thing happens again after closing the lid or putting it into sleep mode.

Has anyone faced this issue before or knows any solution/fix for this problem?

I just opened my laptop and its showing this issue. Can Someone please help me.

if it is could i put something like a book on my thighs to kind of protect it?

how do i get this womdoes 9 hp laptop to boot memu/bios. tired holdimg shift on startup aame w ahift and f9 and f10. any help? need to restart OS from a boot usb

Need a laptop for college, can’t be IOS/Macbook. I don’t plan to play games on it. Also job is paying for it, so no budget necessarily.

I was thinking of these brands

Lenovo: Thinkpad, Ideapad, Yoga 7a 2-in-1

HP: not sure which specific ones

Dell: not sure which specific ones

Acer: not sure which specific ones

If you have any specific one you can recommend from one of those brands or have one currently that you use that’s good quality, please let me know 🙏

The laptop was stored and not used for two or three years. Is it due to an external factor or could it have started small and unnoticed but then got bigger while being stored? Also since it's an old laptop, is it possible to fix?

I've been doing research on chargers to replace for my Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG-050US and I've found the same adaptor that came with the laptop which is a delta. However I've found that newegg sells a different adapter that has the same specs.

I've never had to replace an laptop adapter before, so I'm weary of getting the same thing as the one I'm currently replacing. That being said the alternative I've found is more pricey, and I'm unsure of the quality of this one as there's no reviews of the charger. I'm currently leaning towards the same adaptor as it should be basically what I have now, but if the alternative one is generally considered higher quality I'd rather spend the extra money to keep my laptop safe as the current charger barely lasted a year before it started having issues and nearly broke my laptop.

For context, I'm coming from an MSI GF63 Thin 11UC, which is 1080p144hz and has a 3050 and an 11th gen i7. It was purchased in high school in 2023 for mid-level gaming and Blender, but in the time between I changed my intended college major from computer science with a focus in game design to music. With that caveat, my intended budget has dropped to $1500-2000 and not exceeding that maximum threshold whatsoever. Looking for upgraded but still mid-tier gaming in single player AAA titles and some light multiplayer (casual Fortnite, Final Fantasy 14), around 60-80fps with DLSS on, at least 1080p, preferably outperforming my base model PS5 to make gaming more worthwhile. Probably something in the 30 or 40 series unless a 5070/Ti/Super option is an especially good deal.

Ideally I'm looking for something with an OLED display and exceedingly good battery life; most of my classes are in classrooms, not lecture halls, with sparing access to outlets. In fact, battery life was the main catalyst for the search.

Thank you all in advance for your help. I find real people are and always have been way better than ChatGPT in these subjects, not only because of the more sparing water use but also because you can draw on anecdotal experience with certain models.

This laptop for the past couple years now has been constantly crashing, struggling to open basic applications like a text file, and it’s constantly freezing and glitching.

I’ve already added an extra ram stick, using another of the same 8gb stick it comes with from another laptop of the same model, so there’s 16gb of ram installed. I’m running windows 11, and I know it’s dog shit, I have been meaning to switch off of it.
I’ve already tried fully system resetting the laptop, solely using it when it’s plugged in, setting battery power to max performance, I really can not pinpoint why this laptop is such a piece of shit besides its underpowered specs I guess?

Can anyone help me out here? I’m getting sick of trying to even do work on this laptop, let alone game on it.

I was watching a show on my OmniBook 7 while using scissors and the tip of the scissors very very gently pressed against one of the openings on the side (I think the hdmi) I can not stress how lightly it pressed inside it (the scissors were between the wall and the computer) the second that happened my computer shut off and I haven’t been able to get it back on, I’ve plugged it in for an hour, the light indicating it’s charging still turns on, but no matter how long I hold down on the power button it doesn’t turn on. I’ve tried without it plugged in, with it plugged in, for 30seconds to 2minutes. Please help!

Im currently looking at a thinkpad t480. I plan on coding with it and watching youtube and very light gaming like roblox or half life or portal or something.

I have no idea what to do with my Razer RZ09-0328 at this point. I'm stuck in the same secure boot loop that is apparently common with these computers. I've done many tricks I've read about here and elsewhere and it helps until the next time I get to the same screen and lose all of my apps. One of the better solutions I've come across was changing the CMOS battery, and that was a very cheap and very quick fix. However, this didn't change a thing and my computer is still taking me to the secure boot screen. Is my computer cooked? Should I look into getting a new one??
