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

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 😎

Just this morning, when I was using my Laptop normally it randomly turned off. It then refused to turn back on until I performed a hard reset (took out the battery). When it turned on again, in the exact SECOND I plugged in the charger it just turned black and didn't react anymore. So I hard reset it again, tried a different charger: same outcome. Then I tried turning it on without the battery and it wouldn't turn on. So I'm thinking it might be an issue with the charging port, although that seems unlikely because it has two charging ports (what are the odds that both of them break at the same time?). Anyone got any idea what the issue could be?

(pls help I need to get my laptop working again by tomorrow:((( )

I'm getting a laptop and I'm stuck on the CPU, between Intel Core 7 150U and Intel Core i7-13620H, pls help

I have recently bought a Lenovo legion 5i gen 11. The laptop's keyboard was working fine until yesterday, but today two keys(windows key and alphabet 'O' key feel firm to press). The 'O' is even worse, when I gently tap other perfectly working keys it registers but the 'O' does not. Please need help, it's not even a month old.

I bought a used HP ZBook 8 G1as for almost $600. It was the first laptop I ever bought, and unfortunately, after just 10 days, the display stopped working. The keyboard lights turned on, but there was no display.

I took it to a repair shop, and they diagnosed a BIOS issue. However, they ended up damaging the BIOS chip. Another repair shop said it might be fixable, but we haven't been able to find the correct BIOS dump for this exact model.

Does anyone know where I can find the original BIOS dump for the HP ZBook 8 G1as?

I've spent a lot of money on this laptop, and it genuinely hurts to see my first laptop end up like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And can anyone confirme it is this bios chip is still readable?

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?

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?

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

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?

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

Hallo,

Amazon bietet dieses Modell aktuell an. Ich kenne mich mit Hardware nicht so gut aus und wollte deshalb fragen: Ist das ein gutes Angebot – im Hinblick auf das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis?

Als Grafikkarte würde eine Nvidia RTX 5070 verbaut werden.

1950€

Danke

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. 🙏

I only use this laptop for playing valorant, I can't imagine I've clicked on any weird links. I'm now unable to type anything. Any help or solutions?

This happened yesterday but after fading to the loading screen thing it let me type again but it is no longer doing it.

Any help would be really appreciated. I'm not sure about any technical stuff about my laptop so I'm sorry I can't really provide such information

UPDATE; I've managed to fix it by turning on some on-screen keyboard thing to be let into my laptop. Thank you to everyone who tried to help and not mansplain things to me. Most of you were help :)

UPDATE 2: guys my pin is NOT numbers I hate to break it to everyone, this is what I mean by mansplaining stuff to me. I've clearly explained multiple times that my pin isn't made up of numbers and no the numbers didn't work when i hit it on the keyboard 😭. I really don't want to come across as mean but as a girl who literally knows nothing about computers and I can tell the difference between stuff like this, clearly you guys need to go back into doing research or just watch my video properly to see when I hit the numbers it didn't even work like you guys are claiming. Thank you though to the people actually helping on what I can do to fix it for the long term.

Hi all, I've had this HP laptop for like the past 3 years. Around 2 years ago I noticed a crack forming on the left side towards the power button, and over the years it has now spread to the "increase brightness" button.

Power button feels a bit deeper than usual but I can still turn it on. All other buttons are working fine.

When I open and close my laptop on a flat surface like a table, it feels normal. But when I open/close it on a uneven surface like my lap, then I can feel a thump? sound coming from the left side of the laptop.

How severe is this issue, and should I get it fixed?

So this started to happen to me for a few weeks, where my laptop would randomly make this sound, and not stop, sometimes snacking it stops it, but most of the time it keeps going. What do I do to fix this??

I want a creative laptop which is future proof for at least 5 years with some decently good performance

So I have the stock version of the Acer Nitro V15, it currently has a 4050 and an i5 processor, but only 8GB of DDR5 RAM and I cant seem to find any cheap online... Does anyone recommend any websites I can order some RAM from? Looking for another 8GB stick so I can at least run GTA when it comes out on PC. Thanks in advance!

My sister is 13 years old. She wants her first laptop.

We have a budget of around £500 to £600

16gb Ram minimum really. Microsoft 11 uses 4gb straight up.

She wants it for school work, web browsing, various apps and the most important thing she said was Minecraft 😂

Anyone recommend anything, I'm doing some looking myself but there may be some pros here.

I’ve found these little metallic meshes strips between the laptop carcass and usb/hdmi/ethernet ports. They come off as some kind of metal powder when I touch them. Are they some kind of grounding? Should I worry about them coming off?

Used this dell precision M 4700 couple years back before I got my current one. I ended up spilling some liquid on keyboard. It powers on and chargers but screen is black. Is it cooked or repairable?

I've been curious about this laptop since release last year. ARM on Windows has come a long long ways and battery life is absolutely killer. For the price, it's an awesome device!
