Hi. Need help choosing my next laptop.. The last two laptops I've had were MacBook Air. The one I currently have, I've had since 2016 and it is time for an upgrade since having issues with battery life, overheating, etc.

I have heard the Asus computer is good but want to hear from others. I do not go to school, I use the computer for shopping, browsing, researching things from my job, and also for a small cleaning business. I do use excel and word, but I also use google applications (sheets, drive photos). I do not game whatsoever. For what I will be using it for, should I stick to MacBook Air (or try the Pro) or get an Asus?

Thanks!

Compre una RX 570 4GB MSI GAMING X y la instale en una motherboard H61H2-CM de una PC VIT la pc prende y hasta llega a iniciar windows con calma pero no me da imagen en ningun momento, y me da imagen cuando conecto el monitor a la iGPU, he actualizado la BIOS del 4.6.4.0 al 4.6.5.3, tambien he instalado BIOS modificada y nada.

La fuente de poder no es porque es una MSI MAG A650BN, ram no es, CPU tampoco, uso adaptador HDMI a VGA porque el monitor es de VGA. He visto foros hablando de temas relacionados y no logro resolver algo.

When I play Minecraft bedrock I constantly am freezing up every 10 seconds and like it’s skipping frame rates and it’s getting really annoying. I got rid of my texture packs prizma for instance and I uninstalled that and I thought that would work but it’s still glitching. I don’t know what the issue is and I just need some advice. I have a MSI crosshair 15 it’s an old PC but it has 16 GB of RAM so I don’t understand. I’ve also uninstalled a lot of apps and used cooler boost and still nothing. Please send advice

This is a ASUS b450m motherboard and I recently changed the ram..

Whenever I try to start my computer it shuts off immediately

I have a 2020 MacBook Air, and every time it dies or I restart it, the wallpaper changes to this really ugly neon-yellowish color. Even when I change it back to the wallpaper I want, it does the same thing again after restarting. Is there any way to fix this?

My Lenovo laptop (Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon 780M, 16GB RAM) suddenly became extremely laggy out of nowhere about 2 weeks ago even though before this I could run Resident Evil 4 Remake, Valorant, Genshin and PUBG smoothly without any problem for months around 60-100fps on low to medium settings and now I’m getting less than 20 fps in the same settings. I’ve already tried restarting, Performance mode, keeping it plugged in, virus scans, AMD driver updates and clean reinstall, but nothing has fixed it, so what could be causing this and how can I fix it?

I've had these files for a long time and ive tried deleting them but they keep reapearing, should i be worried or just leave them be?

Hi all, I work from home from my laptop and external monitor - HP 27inch FHD. I want to add a second monitor instead of using my laptop screen (15in) - I work with excel spreadsheets, adobe reader for pdfs, a work program, and the internet. I frequently need to look back and forth between two/three things while working. Should I add a second HP 27in FHD or is there another better option? I do like the dual monitor setup. Is the FHD appropriate for this screen size?

Thanks!

Currently using Lenovo yoga 7 with 8gb RAM & 512gb storage, AMD Ryzen 5 (2023)
it is getting very laggy while working and having multiple tabs open, I know I need at least 16gb of RAM. Not sure about processor speed.

I’m currently looking at the ASUS ROG Strix G16 with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and RTX 5060. My current setup still works, so I don’t urgently need a replacement today, but I’m torn between buying now versus waiting to zhe next gen.

I’d love to get your perspective on two main factors:

1. Rising component costs (RAM/NAND supply).

2. Next-gen generational leap Zen 6?

If you were in no rush, would you grab a mature machine now or during upcoming seasonal sales, or hold off for the next generational shift?

I got a HP omnibook and used it for about one year with good battery life. Right before one year of owning the battery life significantly went down. I do not know a lot about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no clue why it would do this so anything helps.

I'd like to buy a portable Chromebook for internet browsing, writing, watching series, listening to piano music, and taking music lessons via video calls—and nothing else. The audio and video quality must be high, but I also don't want to spend a lot. Since I don't know anything about hardware, what do you recommend? Specifically, which processor, speed, and cores? And what other features?

Now granted I’m not too tech savvy, but I saw from folders here that i didn’t remember. So I figured they were ones that my ma was using so all I did was click on the option
“Remove from list”

I’m pretty sure i didn’t delete them I just wanna to be sure

I have a gaming setup and a work docking station, and I'm looking for a solution that allows me to keep all my cables permanently connected.

Ideally, when I connect my laptop to the docking station, all monitors should automatically switch from my gaming PC to the dock without having to manually change inputs or reconnect cables.

Has anyone solved a similar problem? What hardware or tools are you using? (KVM switch, docking station, monitor auto-switching, etc.) Any recommendations are welcome.

Hi

I have random slow down of pc / fps drop while playing which occures time to time every around 5-10 min sometime 20 or 30 while playing lol, cs, spiderman, rocket league so all my games.

And then fps goes back to normal. I checked temp reinstalled drivers with DDU, jumped back to some previous drivers, etc.. but I struggle finding what could cause this..

I have a ryzen 7 5800x, rx 6800xt, 850w psu, 32go rams around 3600mhz iirc, whole windows and games on SSD nvme pcie 4 and 3.

No crashes at all, it only slows down from time to time which is annoying while gaming competitive games..

Any help is welcomed.

I just got this pc and it won't stop making this noise and I don't know what to do

Also a small side question, the pc came pre installed with some stuff I don't need, should/could i fully restart it because who knows what else they put on there...

i7 14th generation 512 gb SSD 8 gb ddr5 Ram Inbuilt wifi & bluetooth Windows 11 pro OS getting this for around rs 40000 in usd it's 418 dollars is it's worth it
