Hello good people. I just got one question and that is, how good of a Laptop I need in order for adobe photo/video programs to run without any problem. And from time to time some of the better games that came out recently. Like what price range and of course the specs are we talking about. Thank you in advance 😊

I live in Pakistan and my budget is 70K PKR, and yes I would buy a used one. Also for my study purposes have been thinking about buying myself a laptop, for day-to-day use, like doing studies, hobbies etc along with some entertainment like movies and games mostly AAA ones.

Which one should I opt for? As first-hand laps aren't cheap. Which brands and by type?

I asked at seller, and he showed me this used HP Elitebook (new logo) with 8 GB RAM and I believe 256/512 GB storage (not sure whether SSD or HDD) for 45k PKR.

Any advice and recommendations on what to do here?

I'm experiencing sudden FPS drops alongside drops in CPU and GPU usage. This isn’t just happening in graphically demanding games like Forza Horizon 4, but also in less intensive ones like Getting Over it and small size/Less demanding steam games. I’ve tried nearly every common solution, including a full PC reset, but nothing has worked so far. my laptop is vibrating, which might be related to the issue.

Here’s everything I’ve done:

• Adjusted Power Plan settings
• Set Power Mode to high performance
• Updated graphics drivers
• Removed unnecessary applications and Windows features
• Recently updated BIOS
• Disabled Fullscreen Optimization
• Cleared temp files and adjusted virtual memory
• Full PC Reset

System Specs: Hp pavilion Gaming 15

• Processor: Ryzen 5 5600H Hexa-core
• GPU: GTX 1650
• RAM: 8 GB, 3200 MHz
• Storage: 512 GB NVMe M.2 Gen 3 SSD
• Display: 1080p IPS Panel, 144 Hz
• OS: Windows 11 Home, 64-bit
• Bought in May 2022

Details: (Before Laptop Reset)

• Forza Horizon 4: While running benchmarks, GPU usage fluctuated between 3015 MB to 3040 MB. GPU temp was around 80-90°C, CPU usage was 40-50%, and CPU temp was 85-90°C. Just as the benchmark was about to finish, GPU usage dropped suddenly to 30% & CPU dropped to 10%.
• Random Small size Steam games: Even in less graphically intensive game, I was getting fps drops
• Still getting fps drops even after Reset

Thank you!

I have a acer nitro 5 without a battery and I play games with it, such as Roblox when I try to play games like fortnite or valorant the whole laptop turns off and fully loses power. To fix this I just take the charger and unplug then plug it back in and it starts working perfectly.

should I be worried?

I need a new laptop to edit videos for work, and the laptop I usually use accidentally burned the motherboard just now. I have a budget of around 1000 dollars and don’t know much about computers. I need suggestions, thanks you very much!

Hey everyone, I want to replace my BFs dying laptop for Christmas/his birthday but I’m not sure which one to go for and could use a bit of advice! He uses his laptop for streaming, playing football manager and word/excel for work. I’ve tried looking up reviews/comparing them, but I might as well be reading double Dutch, and I feel like the opinion changed depending on what size I look at.

I’ve managed to narrowed it down to three HP laptops (he wants HP as he’s had their laptops in the past and really liked them) that fit my budget but can’t decide which one to go for, and he gets decision paralysis when I ask him and I don’t want to miss out on the sales again.

The first is the HP 17-cp0147ng Ryzen 5 5500U, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD

the second is the HP 255 G10 853S9ES Ryzen 5 7530U, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD

And the third is the HP 250 G10 853R7ES Intel Core i5-335U, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD

There’s less than 10€ difference in price between them all so that doesn’t really affect my choice. He doesn’t do any photo or video editing etc or anything like that and when I tried to compare the i5 and Ryzen to see which might be more beneficial for him the focus was on using it for editing, multiple tasks at once, or possible upgrades in the future, none of which apply in his case.

I’d also happily take recommendations if I’ve picked the three worst HP laptops on the market! Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a wall of text, or too much unnecessary information!

So, I was debating myself to get a Book 4 Ultra or Legion 7i Gen 9

Both have their strength and weakness. But I though about a laptop that almost combines, so I ask, what laptop kinda meets my requirements. You can tell your review of the laptop

Requirements (combination):
-A beautiful Display with color accuracy and sharpness (Book 4 Ultra)
-4070
-upgradable RAM or soldered (32 gb preferably)
-upgradeable SSD
-cooling (Legion 7i Gen 9)
-sleek design (Book 4 Ultra)

OR, just tell which laptop to choose (I think mostly everyone is going to tell me to get the Legion 7i Gen 9)

The title says it all. Plus, Windows & Linux detected that I have two network adapters, Qualcomm Atheros (wireless) and Realtek PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (wired). This laptop does not have any ethernet ports. My coworker said that this slim port is an ethernet port found on old laptop models and I have to use some kind of external adapter to use it (he said this external device usually packaged together when you buy one of these laptops). He said this because he also has an old laptop from 2012 with the same port.

Comparison to other ports. From left to right :

1. The unknown port
2. HDMI port
3. USB 3.0 port
4. USB 2.0 port
5. USB 2.0 port

I have read and opened this wikipedia link of video connectors list and none of them resemble that port. So it should be an ethernet port perhaps.

Hello, does anyone know if my laptop is still working even though it is stuck in the battery warning because before, I can still use it by I need to plug in the charger so it can still work, it won't work if the charger is unplugged but after my dad got home from a work vacation I haven't used it for a month. Now that I'm about to use it. It is stuck in the battery warning, does someone know the answer to this?, thank you

So basically somehow after opening my laptop (ideapad 3 14alc6) got the bios corrupted and my lap turned on, but I got no image. So I took it to the technician and got fixed, but after it is slightly slower and I want to know why. Model: Lenovo ideapad 14alc6 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500u

I was thinking of getting a laptop for my personal and office work use and landed on this ThinkPad E16 Gen 2 with AMD Ryzen 5 7535u processor.. my use is basic like MS office 365, Adobe illustrator occasionally and mostly browser based work... I was hoping for some opinion on how great is this laptop and is it good for 51K INR or approx $600

So I recently bought the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in1 and I also have a samsung tab s9 FE. I've been thinking of selling my tablet because I don't feel the need for multiple devices. I also recently switched my major in college from STEM to Accounting, so I was wondering if I really need a tablet or can I get by with just my laptop? Are the laptop pens any good?

Currently looking for a laptop to add to the collection, just looking for something cheap with good thermals, basically will only be running Parsec with connects to my main desktop pc so specs don't really matter besides from good internet connection and good cooling

I know what some of you may be thinking, "Funkin' hell lad, get yourself a new one, black Friday is around the corner" but the truth is, we have a family work laptop and this one I use a spare, netflix, youtube, occasional craft projects on cricut.

The problem I am having is, because its over 10 years old, and im still running windows 8.1 it is now insanely slow and glitchy. I mean prime video refuses to even work on my chrome browser until it updates, which it cant do because windows 8.1.

I still occasionally use the dvd burner too because my car has a cd player and i'm "old skool" like that.

so the spec is in the image, my thoughts are, upgrade RAM to a max 16gb, please correct me if i am wrong, and a 1tb ssd.

I have heard I am unable to upgrade to win 11 because of cpu limitations, again happy to be corrected, which brings me to OS options. Win 10 will be losing support next year, is it worth upgrading. should i go the Linux route?

Any help guys hugely appreciated.

Is it possible for Hyper-V to work on the snapdragon 850? I know it's possible on other snapdragon laptops, but it doesn't seem to be working on my Yoga C630. Is it not possible on the older processor, or is it a problem with this Windows install?

asus vivobook 16 vs dell inspiron 16. I plan on getting either of these two but I'm not too sure which one would be better. Could y'all give me some advice on either so I can concrete what I want to get?
