Manufactured : September 2009

This Samsung laptop is 17 years old and installed windows 7 in it later and it is still working.

It's hinge is little damaged and struggles to open YouTube but little bit browsing is still possible.

Share your thoughts about my laptop

This stuff ain’t cheap anymore, how much should I sell it for if I decide to sell it, gonna test it first.

I wanted to test this ssd of mine but pc has not yet ready, so i open up my laptop to see if it has nvme slot and i see this. Can i put nvme ssd here? Somewhat doesnt seem fit

Not today but yesterday after a lot of waiting I finally got my new gaming laptop, increasing prices and it is kinda temporary so yeah, Lenovo LOQ.

Ryzen 7 250 w it's igpu

Rtx 5060

16gb ram

512gb storage.

And I'm just so hapy cuz it is really my first gaming laptop and I've like dreamt of getting a gaming laptop since like I was 8 , cuz my friend at that time had it and he ended our friendship because I didn't have a gaming laptop(he had a rog strix rtx 1650ti) but yay I'm so happy, I've debloated it, used Translucent TB, Lively Wallpaper and it's just so nice.

But I am looking for some games, I already have Hogwarts Legacy, but I need more recommendations, like yk open world, sci fi types but yeah. I'm so happy lol.

Laptop can start and log in but after a few minutes it suddenly glitches and shuts down . Does jt look like it can be fixed or just move on ? . Also the left hinge broke and cracked a piece of the bottom plastic panel of the laptop but it never affected it’s performance.

We are thinking of buying a laptop that would work for gaming and graphic design programs, I would prefer to purchase from Costco or another reputable company (not best buy). For work , tax programs and accounting, so a number pad is crucial, as far as gaming my husband likes Witcher , Arc Raiders , Assassin's creed type games. Most importantly a budget of under $2500 ( ideal but could be adjusted for the right machine), costco has this onsale, would it work for our purposes, thank you for your suggestions.

I used two HP Pavilions, made in 2008 and 2009 respectively ( I could be off by an year or two but it was around that time and one was made an year before the other), till 2024 and even though they did slow down a lot, it was probably a software issue with windows 10 and all the apps I was running on them. Never faced any problems with structural integrity.

Then I bought an Asus Vivobook in 2024. 2 years later I've had its screen replaced, hinges repaired twice, and the fan doesn't work (don't wanna overpay to get it replaced from a service center so thinking of replacing it myself, but I always forget to buy it). I don't even do anything crazy with it. It just sits on my deck 99% of the time.

My friend bought a Loq a few months ago and his hinge is already giving him issues. Similar issues with a lot of modern laptops used by my other friends as well. I think modern Macbooks and reallllly high end windows laptops are the only ones that come with some durability to their design.

What the heck is the dangling thing on my gpu

can someone recommend me a good laptop for my degree? im studying finance so we use a lot of exel, word, sql,. I would use it for studying, investigation, watching films/series/read online articles or manfas in good quality, and maybe play some visual novels games

Ultra 7 256v

Used.

Running Minecraft, low shaders.

College

6+ hour battery

Thoughts ?

I'm mainly going to use it for programming and browsing.

Hi, I'm considering buying the ASUS ProArt P16 with the RTX 5090, but I'm concerned about the negative reviews I've seen, particularly reports of random shutdowns, freezes, black screens, and display glitches.

I'm planning to use it for large CAD assemblies as well as gaming.

Most YouTube reviews seem overwhelmingly positive, but many are sponsored or use affiliate links. Meanwhile, most of the negative experiences I've found are on Reddit and ASUS forums. I understand that people are more likely to post when something goes wrong, so it's difficult to tell whether these complaints reflect widespread problems or a reporting bias.

For owners of the RTX 5090 version, I'd appreciate hearing about:

• Have you experienced these issues, and were you able to resolve them through driver or BIOS updates?
• Are these problems specific to the RTX 5090 model, or do they affect other configurations too?
• How long have you owned yours, and how has it held up under sustained workloads?
• How has ASUS customer support been if you've needed repairs?

Would you recommend buying one, or would you avoid it due to reliability concerns?

Thanks!

Hello, I have a lenovo legion go that had a screen issue about a year after I got it. It still works fine, but the screen is messed up. Is it worth selling somewhere? Ty

Hello! Right now im playing on a macbook neo

Any suggestions?

Are these ok specs

I know my way arround PCs quite well. But now my sister asks for a laptop recommondation and that‘s outside my comfortzone/ knowledge…

She has an old 10y acer that she replaced with a macbook air quite a while ago. She loves the „ergonomics“ and userexperiance of the mac but now needs a new Windows device. Right now she uses my old SurfaceBook2. She likes the look and feel, but performance isn‘t of the 8th gen intel is quite bad.

Budget up to €2500.

She needs:
- CPU: x86 (she runs a business software and arm is not supported) - Quick and Snappy Office performance (as good as windows can be 🤷‍♂️🙃)
- GPU: integrated is good enough
- Storage: >500GB
- RAM: >15.9GB

She wants (a macbook with windows):
- 14-16“
- Metal construction
- great display
- great keyboard
- great batterylife
- no audible fan during office workloads

Also great additions:
- touchscreen
- 1x USB-A

I’m a bit lost. I think a larger 16" laptop would be great because of the extra screen real estate, but at the same time, it seems like most people on Reddit prefer 14"

Why is that?

If it helps, I need a laptop for university...

I have Hp omen gaming 16,its been 2 months since I bought it few weeks back my ram got fried because of power fluctuations in my area so I am think of buying UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) which one should I get or is there something else that will do the work

I’m looking for cheap (under $1000, preferably under $800) laptops, mostly for indie games, potentially some older AAA games. I’d also like it to be relatively easy to install mods. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I find myself stuck between the choice of a standard, clamshell laptop and a 2 in 1 laptop. I recently discovered the 2 in 1 and I’ve grown interested in having one. If there’s a good 2 in 1 option, I’ll go for it.

I’m not familiar at all with Chrome OS so preferably Windows (unless you encourage me to give Chrome OS a try). I need it to be as durable as possible within all things previously mentioned (for reference, my last laptop lasted almost a decade)

Hello good people’s. I’ve been having this “sudden black screen issue” while working for the last 3 days now. The problem started after one morning my laptop refuses to turn on even though it was fully charged. After hitting windows ctrl shift B, it started but I got that CMOS checksum error before the normal startup. Even since. Im getting this sudden black screen issue. I updated my windows to the latest version. Still it got fixed work. ALSO my Battery drains really fast, 0 to 20% at around 30 minutes and at 20% it just die’s. I was having this fast battery draining issue for a couple of months now but i ignored it since i kinda busy with everything and didn’t had the chance to send my laptop for repair cause everything important is in my laptop.
Now my question is, can it possibly be a battery issue or something bigger like a Failing or shorted capacitor in the motherboard?
Your help is greatly appreciated 🥲🥲

So a week ago I accidentally spilled some tea onto my laptop and luckily it didn't stop working then, however, recently I wanted to try and clean my keyboard (tab is a touch sticky) and took off the back. Unfortunately that didn't help me at all and now the laptop will not start. It was fully charged before I turned it off, and the LED on the side when I plug it in lights white (means its fully charged) but the power button does nothing when I hit it.

I have attempted looking at the battery to unplug it, but that is not a possibility, every connection I could find I have wiggled and still nothing happens when I hit the power button.

I have held the button for varying amounts of time from a single press to 60 seconds and nothing has changed. Please let me know what I should try!

Budget: 20 mil IDR (about 1100 usd ish)

- Last at least 15 hours of light usage (notetaking, watching videos, etc)

- Good screen (touchscreen preferred)

- Runs valorant, csgo, asseto corsa competizone smoothly (70 fps)

strong enough processing power for CS major

- good build quality, must be durable and reliable

Any help is appreciated thankss
