Definitely get that 30W Type C power bank if you're actually going to try this and want the best chance of success, though. Also, don't try to use a Type-A-to-C cable and try to charge a Type C laptop from an older bank with only Type A ports; it doesn't work that way, and isn't supposed to. It will most likely not work at all in that case. Amara posted:What I actually realised once y'all were talking about swapping hard drives and ram was that it was worth a shot to replace my old laptop's hard drive with an SSD first (it's the hard drive that's failing). This is the ThinkPad W500 that I've been limping along since 2008. Nowadays I mostly use a desktop and only need a portable computer a few times a year, so I'm going to see if I can squeeze another few years out of it. If that fails I'll take the hard drive and the ram out of that computer and put it into the recommended Acer. It's been a good little laptop and has served me well through several moves and still worked very well up until the random crashes started. This is absolutely worth a shot, and in fact I recommend replacing any older PC's HDD with an SSD just for a noticeable performance boost, even if the HDD is functioning perfectly. fivehead posted:I've used a C740 for two years and written college papers on it with no problem. Still gets 9ish hours of web/google docs battery life and crazy sleep mode. I too had one of those Acer C710s, the one with the 160 GB HDD! I gave it to my brother and he still uses it to this day! That C771 does seem like a competitor to the Lenovo Yoga 11e; they're both around the same size, ruggedized, with similar specs. The Yoga has a 360° hinge and touchscreen whereas the Acer is only 180° with a touchscreen as an option.

I currently have a refurbished Dell Inspiron 15 5558, which has been fine for most things besides gaming. Keyboard with a number pad is preferable. I wouldn't judge a current-model laptop based on older, unrelated models from the same manufacturer. The Inspiron 7000 and similar 1050 Ti laptops are good bargains if you get a refurb/used one on eBay for ~$750-800, but any more than that and the ~$1050 Acer Helios 300 is the way to go. If you do get that Acer E 15 with the 940MX, just make sure to double-check benchmarks with games you want to play; all you have to do is search Youtube for "940MX Overwatch" or similar to get an idea of how any given game will perform.

Thanks for the input everybody; I'll look into PC repair places in my area first. If that doesn't work out, the Acer E15 looks really good for the price, wasn't expecting to be able to get something like that below $700. RE: Dell hate: Yeah, it's totally unreasonable. It's just kind of a gut reaction that given a day or two, I will pretty much be over.

So remember what I recently said about that 2014 Toshiba CB 2 being dog-rear end slow? I carry that one in my backpack to work just in case I have some down time or whatever, and I pulled it out on third shift this past weekend for that very reason, and found that it was almost unbearably slow even for casual use. That, and the fact that Woot (on the mobile app) advertised refurb'd HP CB 13s (with the Pentium or m3) for $230 (or $250, respectively.) As I've mentioned, I have the m7 version, which is nice although it gets a little hot underneath and the battery isn't amazing. Considering how expensive the m7 is/was, and said battery life is potentially a limiting factor, I decided to get one of the cheap refurbs to replace the Toshiba. I ordered the Pentium version (although I was leaning towards the m3, but they apparently only had a few models of that and sold out quickly.) The m3 is definitely the faster of the two, although I haven't been able to determine the effective battery life for each version but have inferred that the faster CPUs use more power for the same workload. Well, after a couple days I received it about an hour ago. I plugged it in and waited; the battery was fully discharged. Powered it up finally, updated everything, connected & synchronized my account, everything works fine. Then I notice the little Intel sticker to the bottom-right of the keyboard:    So that's another Core m7 version, with 16 GB of RAM, a ~$1k laptop, that I got for $250 (with tax/shipping.) It's still going (refurb'd) for $530 (or ~$570 after tax & shipping) right now.  Now I'm not disappointed here, because I got something worth at least double (if not almost quadruple) what I paid, and I could definitely re-sell it for a profit. The point is that Woot does frequently give you a better product than advertised, particularly when buying used/refurbished devices with multiple variants (like this HP CB, or their grab-bag Android tablet or Windows laptop/desktop sales.) I'm only a little conflicted because I had intended to replace that lovely Toshiba CB with a cheap but effective CB with good battery life. As it stands, the QHD+-equipped HPs are rated for under 9 hours by HP, and reviews of the m5 (which seems to be the version they exclusively sent out to reviewers) generally found that it's good for ~6.5 hours, although a couple reviews got 8-9; the m7 in practice feels like it gets no more than that although I haven't done a formal test. It's maddeningly difficult to find reliable battery life results across the ~5 different models, although you'd think somebody would've done a [standardized] test across at least 2-3 of them. It's not that the 5-7 hours the m7 seems to get is horrible, considering that's a long time to be sitting at a PC continuously, and without access to mains power, but around the house I can use the CB from full charge and it will always drop very low by the end of the day, i.e., I don't have any wiggle room for trying to do a little extra work, or for forgetting to plug it in to charge overnight. Furthermore, with the carry-along CB I don't use it often, and don't regularly take it out to recharge after a period of self-discharge, so my concern is it discharging to the point of being unusable when I actually need it, which defeats the purpose. All in all it's not too bad, though, because I still get a cheap CB to toss in the backpack, all things considered! Invisible Ted posted:RE: Dell hate: Yeah, it's totally unreasonable. It's just kind of a gut reaction that given a day or two, I will pretty much be over. To put it in perspective, I've long shied away from Toshiba laptops because I had issues (overheating, locking up, data loss, etc.) with the first ones I ever had, which were 486-based (and this was 3-4 different ones, all old, cheap, hand-me-downs.) That's right, I've held a grudge against Toshiba for 25 years. Then again, my concerns are somewhat founded in reality; about a decade ago I tried a couple of Qosmio media center laptops and both failed with mobo/GPU issues (and both were originally refurbished for the same reason). Plus the one Toshiba I have is that Ultrawide, which is nice except it's got an issue with the Wifi card or antenna. Not something I can't fix with a USB adapter, but still!  In general I wouldn't judge a laptop manufacturer too harshly based on past products, except Toshiba. gently caress Toshiba. Over a quarter-century I've never had so many loving problems with a single laptop manufacturer. The only Toshiba laptops I've ever owned without any glaring issues (aside from that 2014 version being slow as poo poo due to the CPU) were those two Chromebooks...and they don't even make those any more!

Want to post about the recent laptop purchase I made. I was looking for a basic on-the-go netflix/lecture watching/email machine, with a priority on a low price, portability, good screen, and long battery life. I went with the Asus Flip C100 -- found it on sale at Best Buy a few weeks ago for $230 (currently $260), and picked up a case and clamshell from Amazon for another $40. I couldn't be much happier with it. Between lasting for days of light use without a charge and being light enough to carry with all my study materials in my backpack, it's been a hugely helpful and unobtrusive tool. Being able to use it as a tablet in a pinch is also quite nice. It's got enough RAM to deal with my 20-tab browsing habits, but a little RAM management is necessary to keep it from chugging if you're using more than just Chrome. The screen is small, but clear enough (great viewing angles!). Once or twice I've had to increase the text size to reduce eye strain. My biggest complaint is that the charger is proprietary and costs $30 for a replacement. I'd love to have one for my bag and one to keep at home, so I'm going to bite the bullet and order another from the ASUS store.

I was looking at sub-$400 laptops with screen sizes below 14 inches online and finally went to a local store to check out some demo models. Do any of these new ultrabook-type laptops have beefy power jacks? I feel like I'm going to break the tiny power jack/plug that seems to be the standard these days...

I've never broken one myself, but I know what you mean. There's not a whole lot you can do about that, unfortunately, so just be careful when plugged in (and this includes other types of connections to; I have seen plenty of busted USB ports from the troglodytes at work.) Plus, if you're looking at budget laptops in the first place I guess you wouldn't feel too bad if you damaged one, as opposed to breaking a $1k+ machine. Also, I don't think there are very many good small and cheap laptops. I mean there's this ZenBook but it's above your price range. There's the HP Stream 11 or 13, but they're very low-performance. There's this Asus, which is cheap and not quite as crappy as those HPs, but it's still slow. There's a ton of Chromebooks in your price range in <14" sizes though.

So there's a good chance I'll be relocating overseas in the next 3-6 months and in preparation I'm looking for a good desktop replacement laptop. Looking for something higher end to replace my current gaming PC that's also not horribly bulky as I'll also likely be using it as my main work PC (my last laptop was almost 10 years ago and was 17" which ended up in hindsight being too big to be really portable). If possible I'd like something that should be good for 2-3 years gaming wise. Currently I'm looking at the following: Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 Razer Blade Origin EON15-X I like the look of the Zephyrus but I'm not sure if the price is worth it for the 1080 Max-Q that functions as a 1070 (I've heard varying reports on just how powerful the GPU is in the Max-Q laptops). I'd probably go with the Blade if it had an option to have a 1070, but it seems it only comes with a 1060 (the option to upgrade the GPU with the razer core sounds interesting, but at least initially I'd prefer to have more base power, I think). The origin has a bunch of customization options, but I've not heard much about them previously so unsure (also support may be difficult overseas if necessary). Any advice and/or other options in the neighborhood of the above?

If possible I'd like something that should be good for 2-3 years gaming wise. Currently I'm looking at the following: 17" is definitely too large for something you expect to carry around with any regularity, and you can always attach an external display if you need a large panel while at home working. The Zephyrus is niche; it's way overpriced for its performance. The MaxQ GPUs are basically a half-step down from their regular versions; a 1080MQ could be thought of as a 1075, and the 1070MQ as a 1065, etc. That's not to say any of them are bad, but you're paying more for less performance. An eGPU setup mostly makes sense for an ultraportable laptop without a dGPU in the first place, i.e. you'd carry it around to work during the day and then dock it to the eGPU at home for gaming afterwards. That's viable, my best recommendation is the Acer Predator Helios 300 for ~$1k.

If you want a laptop with a 1070 in it, the best one is almost certainly the Aorus x5v6. Pricey, but the laptop you get is slim, reasonably portable, extraordinarily powerful (with a CPU more powerful than most other gaming laptops), and surprisingly durable. And it performs within 5% of that Zephyrus.

If possible I'd like something that should be good for 2-3 years gaming wise. Currently I'm looking at the following: It's probably worth noting that Razer has a track record of poor customer service, and this is magnified if you are not in the countries America and maybe United Kingdom. Reddit, Razer forums, and notebookreview forums are littered with bad Razer CS stories that seem to be 10 times worse outside of the US than inside it. If you are looking for more power than a GTX1060, you could look at the MSI GS63VR with the 1070 Max Q. The 1070 Max Q is a better value proposition than the 1080 MQ you have concerns about, as it actually sits between a 1060 and 1070, and a good deal closer to the 1070. It's thin and portable, but it will get hot and loud under load. People have reported 90 degrees on GPU over on the NBR forums. Another option is the Clevo P950 series with GTX 1070 Max Q. The Origin you linked is a Clevo chassis (P650, now a discontinued chassis) so I assume you're okay with them. The P950 is thin and light, too. FWIW, Clevos are solid good-not-great laptops. Good build quality, good screens, good hardware, nothing outstanding or gimmicky. Workmanlike. If you need a full fat 1070, the Aorus X5 V6/V7 (Skylake/Kaby Lake) is probably the best laptop out there in terms of portability, build quality, and power, but it's expensive, too. The MSI GT series have 1070s as well but they are like 1.5" thick and are really far outside the range of portability when compared to the models you listed. If you are going after a Clevo chassis (Like that eon 15 which is a p650), Origin is not your only option. Sites Like HIDEvolution, Gentechpc, Xoticpc all offer these with tons of customization, and international warranties to boot (in some cases, like HID, the international warranty means they pay for shipping if something goes wrong while you're abroad).

What's the general consensus on the x1 carbon vs the xps 13? I'm leaning towards the x1, wondering if there's any reason to go with something else. Are there any other laptops I should be considering in that class? Any good argument for going with the t-series over the x1? Basically looking for something to replace my six year old mbp with something with similar build quality and good battery life for development work.

I picked up T470s on account of the lower price in comparison to the X1 and some upgrade options compared to both of them. I got a 1440p screen on it, so not as high res as the XPS 13's 3200x1800 screen, but I really did not want a glossy screen.

For me, it was a smallish machine with a 1060 and good build quality. The smaller width and hinge forward means its usable on a plane. The OLED and good keyboard are nice bonuses. Only other options were a full 15" (too big), a Razer Blade (throttles, very loud fans), or the MSI GS43VR. The MSI was very tempting, but i was put off by the flimsy screen and heatpipes sitting on top of parts of the motherboard it shouldn't. That concern may have been misplaced; I guess we'll see in a couple years if the thermals are a long term reliability issue or not.

We gave out Chromebook pixels at work to all our marketing and sales people because we couldn't trust them to not install malware. They're also arguably easier to manage than MacBooks. There's definitely a market for high end Chromebooks and arguments for them. Not sure how many we had ultimately, but somewhere around 50 in our organization. They may not be aimed at the mouth breather Walmart shopping population, but of the market that can afford them, they're generally well liked for what they are. Our it department especially liked them as whenever someone had problems they would just tell them to power wash it and then log back in.

Keeps your SD card slot open for actually getting photos off your camera, too, instead of a local storage option.

Does anyone sell reasonably specced laptops with displays with more than 1920x1080 and more than 60Hz? I've seen like one 2560x1440/120Hz thing with horrendous banding(?), and the only other option I can find is apparently the most expensive Alienware one they make. I feel like I gotta replace my laptop from 2011 eventually, but it kinda looks like macbooks are the only ones that improved on display resolution and they're not really my thing.

I've seen like one 2560x1440/120Hz thing with horrendous banding(?), and the only other option I can find is apparently the most expensive Alienware one they make. >1080p is easy, there are plenty of 4K laptops out there as well as some weird "3K" sizes. >60Hz is harder. MSI and Asus both make 120Hz laptops in their gaming lines, I'm sure that a few others do as well, but they're certainly not common. Whether you can find both in the same machine I have no idea. The only 120Hz laptops I've seen have been 1080p.

Bob Morales posted:Has anyone posted the Google PixelBook yet? $1299 premium Chromebook I'm as surprised that they're releasing another CB Pixel as I am that I didn't know about this until now! Mu Zeta posted:Why do they need so much storage? Like 256 gig option? You only really need local storage on a CB for Android apps and/or additional Linux distros. Any other use is largely superfluous (because if you're just temporarily holding stuff that you downloaded you can send that to flash media) and it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to run your CB offline for any length of time that you couldn't use Google Drive storage for everything. Hadlock posted:We gave out Chromebook pixels at work to all our marketing and sales people because we couldn't trust them to not install malware. They're also arguably easier to manage than MacBooks. There's definitely a market for high end Chromebooks and arguments for them. Not sure how many we had ultimately, but somewhere around 50 in our organization. I love the CB Pixel(s), but I think they were more ideally targeted towards individuals/"executives" rather than towards IT departments for issuing to employees in general; I'd much rather issue employees cheaper, but still effective professional models like the Dell 13, Thinkpad 13, or the Acer 14 (for work). I mean the Pixels are impressive, but the Dell 13s are almost on the same level but are cheaper and arguably more durable. Beyond that they all work exactly the same, and they're fantastic for the education & business markets because they're nigh foolproof/bulletproof.
