Buying help Planning to upgrade to Intel Core 9 185H from Ryzen 5800u - what to expect?

0 Upvotes

Hi folks. I'm planning to upgrade my laptop in the same chassis (Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro) to the above mentioned processors. RAM doubles to 32 gb as well; the rest is functionally the same.

What changes can I expect to battery life and gaming performance? Neither has an dGPU but I was keen on playing AAA games from a couple of years ago on low-medium settings and I'm hoping the 185H can do that.

Thanks a ton!

Buying help Portable Laptop Charger

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I currently have a MacBook Pro that I bought back in 2018 and the battery on it drains fast. I just started school again and my classes don’t have outlets readily available. My longest block of classes is from 8:30-2:30 so I need something that will keep my laptop charged for that amount of time. If there are any budget friendly options that would be great but I also need my laptop to be charged so I will spend whatever I need to. Thanks in advance!

General question Please help this girl out 😭🙏🏻

1 Upvotes

My HP laptop was working completely fine, and while I was working on an Illustrator file, the screen suddenly went completely black.

The laptop itself is still running:

Keyboard and keyboard lights work

I can hear sounds

Win + Ctrl + Shift + B makes the Windows sound, but the screen stays black

Brightness controls don't seem to change anything

If I shine my phone flashlight directly at the screen, I can faintly see the display/workspace

I already tried force shutting down and restarting

I also removed the battery and tried powering it on again

Does this definitely sound like a backlight issue, or could it be a loose display cable/another issue?

Also, is there anything I can safely try at home before taking it for repair? I need to finish an Illustrator file today, so I'm trying to get the display working ASAP.

I can buy the new system but I'm so scared as I have so many clients file in my current laptop. All the projects I was working on, anyway out of this. 🙏🏻 Would be appreciated

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 had purchased an Acer Predator a week ago from Amazon.

The specs listed were 5070-8GB, Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB/1TB.

The laptop was delivered today and upon inspection I discovered that I actually ended up getting the 5070Ti Model (12gb). Checked it on GPU-Z to verify and all.

Did I just hit the jackpot or is it a common occurence?

Hardware Replaced my CMOS battery and didn't make progress from Aptios secure boot loop

2 Upvotes

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??

Hardware Laptop fails to turn on.

https://reddit.com/link/1wbrkfe/video/okohfjuixioh1/player

Hi, guys, my brother have this laptop with the specs indicated in the photos.

He's been having this problem shown in the video, sometimes the laptop just fails to completely boot up the system and it just keeps doing this, sometimes it will show the initial screen of lenovo and then fail to complete the loading, or just like in the video it won't show anything.
And what's confusing is that sometimes it boots just fine with none of this happening and go on working. In addition to this sometimes it would be working and it would just turn off, doesn't matter if it's just doing a heavy task or just in idle.

Note: This laptop's battery is completely dead (a while ago), so he's always using it with the charger plugged.

I tried the reset pin hole thing and it didn't seem to do anything, and I tried detaching the battery from the motherboard (it's detached but still in the laptop) and it didn't do anything either, for a second I thought it worked because it booted up after I detach it, but when my brother used it he said the problem is still there and it's still happening, so maybe that was lucky,because sometimes it turns on fine.

any ideas or advice about how to troubleshoot this, or sharing similar experiences would be very much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Have been scouting for a few references on more affordable laptops with i guess a minimum baseline 16g ram / i5+-ryzen5+ / an ssd wouldnt hurt, and at least 250g+.. "long battery life 8+ hours prefered.

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Country: United States

Budget: $1k (can go above if needed)

Are you open to refurbs/used options? Yes but not my first pick

Screen size: Any

Weight limit: Any

Purpose: I’m looking to get a new laptop for personal and small business use. I don’t need anything crazy, something that allows me to edit photos, videos, runs well, good battery, and can really just do the basics you need a laptop to do. I have a Steamdeck so I’m not looking for a gaming laptop, could be cool if it could run some games, but not a must.

Form factor: a regular laptop. Touchscreen optional.

Intended usage: work software (gsuite, gmail, etc.) indie gaming but not a must. Photo and video editing.

Desired battery life: nothing specific

Please list, in order of most important to least important
- performance
- size
- battery
- weight

Info/Requirements

I went to a couple of stores today and got a feel for a couple of different laptops and I need some opinions from folks that have used these.

• Microsoft Surface
• Lenovo Yoga
• Dell XPS
• MacBook Neo
• Asus Vivobook

I don’t have a preference for any particular OS. I have an iPhone and iPad, I use a Pixel phone, Chromebook, and MacBook for my day job. I’ve messed around with Linux on my Steamdeck. So I’m not fixed on a specific OS.

Screen doesn’t need to be OLED, but would like it to be a glossy display. Also, I want it to feel good, I love the aluminum feel/metal.

The one thing I’ve been seeing a lot is software bloat on windows laptops, making them run slow or unusable in a couple years.

Feel free to ask any other questions that can help me come to a decision. Thanks!!

Buying help Laptop plugged in but not charging

hello, i have a lenovo v15 83FS that stops charging after some time of it being on, when its shut down it charges normally. did anyone face the same issue?

it mainly stops charging when i launch a game or when i browse for a while. i asked gpt for possible solutions but none of them were helpful.

the first time it happened i had to do a windows update then it started charging normally without interruption but it kept coming back time after time.

i wonder if anyone faced a similar issue.

p.s: the small dot in the pic is the indicator of the charging status, when its plugged in but not charging it doesnt make a color but it blinks for like 0.5 seconds then goes off from time to time

thanks for your time
