Genuinely why is my laptop so loud. I have an HP laptop with 8gb RAM, and yeah i know it probably can’t run multiple programs really well, BUT IM LITERALLY JUST USING CHROME AND ITS SOOO LOUD ITS SO ANNOYING. I want this to stop, i was planning on upgrading to 16 gb RAM but i am afraid that won’t fix the problem.

I bought it second hand and im wondering if the battery is not as it was factory (which makes sense). Am i able to ugrade this battery?

Hi I was wondering if you guys might know for a Lenovo legion y545 if selling it for around 350-400 is viable? It has a gtx1660ti/16gb ram/512ssd/1tb hdd/i7-9750h. Does this sound doable? It’s in good condition with a few minor cosmetic scratches.

Dell Inspiron 14 7435 - my laptop doesn't recognize it as connected and says the device is disconnected, help.

Hi! I’m struggling to find good laptops which don’t cost a fortune that are great for programming on mid/large datasets. What I’ve been looking for so far is: <17 inches (15.6 is great) 32GB Ram GOOD Cpu (amd preferrably but anything is fine) Integrated GPU is fine (ML will be done on cloud) 60hz is fine Good Brightness and good screen quality is a plus.

Do you have any suggestions to buy in Italy/Europe? Ideally budget is <1000 euros but could stretch it a bit. Thank you!

Can someone reply please? So today when I tried to turn on my laptop, it is not turning on at all. Assuming that the battery charge is low, I plugged in my charger. The battery charging indicator turns on, but then I notice it blinking. It blinks once in a while. The last I used the laptop was almost a week ago, the battery was at 80 percent. I never leave my laptop with low charge. Could someone tell me what may be the problem and whether there is anything I can do to fix it? The laptop refuses to turn on even when connected to its charger.I have a project to work on and now I'm worried the laptop may not turn on at all. I searched online for answers but I got various answers:

Battery may be faulty Charging adaptor may be faulty Internal charging circuit is faulty Might need to do a reset (?) Might be overcharged (?)

I'm not tech savvy at all hence why I'm here. Is there nothing I can do to fix it? I can try to give it for repair, but the repair men here are very sketchy: are not reliable or trustworthy and may mess up something or overcharge me. But if there's nothing I can do to fix it myself, I will hand over my laptop to them to fix it. But still, what may be the problem? Can someone help me? I apologise for my English, it is not my first language.

Edit : I decided to plug it in and see what happens. After 30 minutes, the laptop briefly turned on by itself, by briefly I mean it showed it's logo "Asus" and then the login (?) page with my name, and suddenly shut down. Could this be a software issue?

Edit 2 : still plugged in, now it's about 1 and half hours after I plugged in, again it briefly turned on like b4 then everything is black, no sounds or anything, but now the blinking red/orange light is replaced with blinking white light.

Edit 3 : now it's almost 2 hours, nothing else happened, I'm gonna remove the charger and check it again later

I'm considering buying a new laptop, and I really like the Asus Zenbook 14x OLED. However, when I showed it to my brother, he rejected it, saying that the graphics card isn't as good compared to Nvidia options. The Asus Zenbook 14x OLED has great specs overall, and it comes with an AMD Radeon graphics card, which seems solid compared to other laptops in the same price range.

Given the choice, would you prefer any Nvidia graphics card or an AMD Radeon? and Why?

Also please suggest any laptop under same budget

Title says it all, I just need to make it shorter (~2-3 cm)

As title, shuts down constantly, then may work fine for a day, then on and off for hours. Am a moron when it comes to tech, could this be a hardware issue?

I've had my Lenovo Legion Y540 for about 4 years now. Recently, the performance has been dropping significantly. I've tried everything, from adjusting the power mode to making sure the GTX 1660 Ti is the active GPU, but I'm still not getting the full performance.

For example, in Valorant, I used to get 144 FPS, and everything was running smoothly. But now, performance has dropped so much that I can barely get 50 FPS. Task Manager shows that the GPU is being used at 85-90%, but there are no frames or decent performance at all.

I'm wondering if the issue is throttling, wattage, or maybe the AC adapter? I've even replaced the thermal paste, but it didn’t help. Just recently, the laptop worked fine for a couple of days, and then all of a sudden, performance dropped again. But after two days of working well, the performance dropped again, and now I can’t even get 30 FPS in most games.

I also took it to a hardware repair shop, and they told me there's nothing wrong with the laptop and he measure the voltage, and watts form the ac charger and told me nothing wrong.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I'd like to know where I can buy the power button with fingerprint for the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 2 in 1.

I checked the major stores Amazon, Ebay, AliExpress and some other which is buyparts.com but didn't find anything. I also checked Dell's page and no luck.

The issue is that my touchpad was not working because of a mistake I made so I decided to check the inside and now it's working but the fingerprint sensor stopped working and I'm afraid it might be me the one who messed all up while checking the inside so I'd like to find a store where I can buy it.

Hello,

If I charge my 65W Lenovo laptop using my 20W phone charger, will it damage it ?

When I do, Win11 display a warning that the charger is slow.

I don't know anything about laptop portable laptop chargers, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Budget about $70-$100.

I currently own a Charmast mobile phone portable charger and love it. They told me this wouldn't work on my laptop and recommended a 45w charger, and recommended their 100w one. Any other recommendations?

Thanks.

So a friend of mine is buying a laptop for college (Business major), I need few thoughts on laptop recommendations for her.
I looked up so much and I settled down on Asus ZenBook 14 since she wants a lightweight able machine to get her through college, but I been reading mixed opinions about the laptop so I am not sure also I would love other suggestions maybe we missed something while looking up in the market (I would love an HP spectre x360 but it's overpriced in our region) so Any other recommendation would be helpful. Thank you in advance guys.

I will be using them for mostly school, some light gaming and I want it to last for a while as well. The two i have narrowed down to are:

Dell inspiron 3520 15" FHD, i7-1255U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, WIN11 Home

Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G4 - 15.6" FHD Laptop - Intel Core i5-1235U 12th Gen - 16GB RAM DDR4 - 256GB SSD - Windows 11 Pro

Please let me know what you guys would recommend, they are 20$ difference so price is not a factor.

I have a loq 15arp9 and it has a 12 gb ram onboard is it possible that i use an 8 gb ram to upgrade it to 20 gb or do i have to use another 12 gb ram stick.

also the title says oled but the description says ips also is the ram up-gradable

hi, today i left my laptop for 10 minutes and my touchpad was working well, but when i came back it wasn't functioning, the model is ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX517ZE_FX517ZE, and i downloaded and installed the driver from the asus website, and then it requires a restart, when windows come up before i initially log in the touchpad surprisingly works but as soon as i log in to the windows it stops, even when i log out manually, i installed the driver twice and it worked each time before login and stops after login, there are also no windows updates available, external mouse works just fine, any idea what could cause this problem? can it be only software related

Hi. I’ve been using a 16” M2 MacBook Pro for a little over a year and I’m thinking of trading it in for a Windows laptop, mainly because I like playing games and I only want to take one machine with me when I travel for work, but also because I’m finding some aspects of MacOS a bit frustrating.

I love:

• the hardware build
• the reliability
• the quietness in operation (even when playing the few games I have available)
• the speaker quality
• the incredible battery life, better than 8 hours of real use for me
• the brightness of the screen
• the extreme quality of the trackpad and fingerprint sensor.

Is there any 16” Windows laptop that will give me all of those things but also has a good enough GPU to run games like COD, Destiny 2.

I treat my machines well so I’d be ok with a plastic shell so long as it feels high quality, doesn’t squeak or creak and isn’t known for breaking after a couple of years.

I’m open to refurbs so a recommendation for a 2023/2022 laptop is ok too.

My laptop battery won’t charge from the provided jack power supply, it only shows that it’s being powered. Over time while using it, the battery goes flat. It does however charge from a USB C power supply. I’ve tried a few other jack input power supplies but it’s the same. What am I missing ?

Hello everyone, does anyone have some suggestions for a laptop of this type? So, I will begin studying engineering at university the next year, and I was looking for something that had some decent battery life but with decent performance (in case I may need to run heavyish programs). I would love to have a touchscreen and if possible I'd love having a pen (iPad style). Does anyone have other suggestions (for specs or maybe knows more about what I'll use next year) ecc, please feel free to suggest (I'm really disoriented and I'm scared of making the wrong choice, so every tip is really appreciated) Thanks.

What to do if i don't have headphone jack in my laptop and only have microphone input socket ? Is there a way i can plug use my wired headphones ? Or do i only use my wireless headphones ? My laptop is Lenovo ideapad gaming 3

Is getting 16gb unified memory worth the peace of mind or is it completely useless for anyone who is not doing video editing ect.

Has anyone with 8gb had problems with memory?

Hey guys! I’ve always been a MacBook guy. I use windows for work and honestly just like the OS more. However, my MacBook is 7 years old and is still a pretty good laptop. I’m giving it to my finance for work and buying myself a new one. What’s a good windows laptop recommendation that’ll be as long lasting and good as my MacBook?
