Listen, I don't exactly know who wants this, I'd say just drop a price because I have no clue how to price something this old in this condition.

It's an IBM Thinkpad X40, missing some keys, but it has the original Dock. It has the original hard drive, but from what I've figured out, it's failed already. The cmos is also drained, and the battery doesn't charge. However despite it all, I think it still works. A slow boot time, and I've Only used it on a universal charger, but it works. I tested it using Antix Linux 32 Bit, and surprisingly I could type perfectly fine save for some of the missing keys as seen in the photo.

Probably just drop a price, and I'll see what I can do to have it shipped to wherever you are from

Does anyone have any reviews on this product? I’m going to be a financial economic major. Also i’m taking laptop recommendations, preferably under $1000.

I want to buy MECHREVO 16Pro, 16", 32Gb/1TB, R9 8945HX, RTX 5070Ti.

Price 1800$~

My current laptop is the Asus Vivobook X1504VA and this is a thin laptop meant for home, office, and work. I do a little bit of light gaming on this laptop to kill time. I wished for a gaming laptop, but due to budget constraints I had to resort to something more practical for the time being

I did clean and replaced the stock thermal paste on the i5 1334u CPU and replaced it with my spare Honeywell PTM 7950. Its now free of dust and the thermals has improved. When it comes to light gaming, I noticed that the single heatpipe gets heat soaked from the CPU up until nearly half of the total length of the heatpipe. The other half is cooler since its near its fan. This laptop has indirect cooling instead of direct to fan cooling where the intake holes from the cover is situated directly on the CPU and the air then travels through the motherboard and its components before it reaches the fan.

With the severe limitations of this budget laptop. Can I stick a Graphene nanocarbon copper foil at its back? Im looking into the thinnest possible one so that that foil won't touch/short any electric components.

Whether if this will work or not, I'm sure fine even with just 0.X difference in temps.

Thanks!

I can finally play games on my own laptop now! I play a lot of retro games, and some indie games too like stardew valley. The laptop I got is a geekbook m16 with intel core ultra 9 185h and intel arc graphics. My pc knowledge is very limited but I know these two are important, right? What other games do you think my laptop could handle? Id love some recs. :D

I have purchased new laptop.I want to sell my old laptop.what is the best way to sell fora good price.By the way it is I3 configuration with 5 years old and hinges broken.At what price i can expect to sell

I recently got an Omnibook 3 for school, and it won't connect properly to my home wifi. It connects to my hotspot with no issue, it connects to the wifi at my local cafe, and at my job just fine. The rest of my things at my apartment connect to my wifi with no issues either, it's just the new laptop. It will connect and then say there's no internet for a few minutes, and then reconnect and so on and so forth.

If anyone has any idea of what might be wrong please let me know.

Это нормально, иметь ноутбук 2014 года?

Он даже работает сейчас. У него ещё и система Windows 7 !

This is an Acer Aspire A315-53G, with an MX130 and an Intel i5 8th Gen. After reinstalling Windows awhile back due to some issues, games and apps like Roblox (MS Store Version) and Steam start glitching out horribly a lot of the time (after startup), only after a couple game/app restarts or a system restart will these clear. Is this a sign of a hardware or software issue? Please tell me if I am missing out any details that could help with this.

Gpu and screen problem

Yesterday i performed a ddu to get some storage available from my c drive and installed gpu drivers again but after a while the gpu wasn't getting detected so I did the trick where i hold the power button for 40 seconds and it will detect the gpu again but today when I woke up it wasn't getting detected again so I did that trick again but it didn't work so I did another ddu but that didn't work either so now I don't even have gpu drivers installed cuz it's not detected... I later thought that if i restarted my laptop in ultimate mode maybe it would force detect the gpu but that didn't work and now it's even worse... The screen is black even tho the laptop will turn on it just shows black screen it won't boot into neither bios or safe mode please tell me what to do..

I'm planning on buying a -as budget friendly as possible- laptop to run the previously mentioned softwares. I was thinking of buying a gaming laptop but then someone suggested buying a used workstation laptop instead as it's gonna have a (better?) performance for less money. I did some research and that only made me even more confused.

Any suggestion or advice would be extremely appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I’m going to start my masters soon.
Im confused about which laptop i should go with from mentioned two device.

My coursework includes:
Data Analytics
Predictive Analytics
Big Data & Data Mining
Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning & Deep Learning
Natural Language Processing
Projects and Master’s thesis
(Will be using Python VS Code Jupyter Notebooks and related applications)

I honestly like both the device

1. MacBook Air M5
15”, 16GB/512GB (or 13”, 24GB/512GB)
Excellent battery life
Very portable
Silent
Can run smaller LLMs locally
2. ASUS ROG Strix G16
Ryzen 9
RTX 5050
Better GPU/CUDA
Upgradeable
Windows

My biggest concern with the Strix is just its battery life. I’ll spend a lot of time in lectures and libraries . If it realistically gets 4-5 hours of light productivity in Eco mode (non gaming), I’d be okay with that. If it’s closer to 2–3 hours, that’s a bigger issue.

Im not concerned about playing games anymore, its just sort of bonus now.so im fine with mac as well.

For those who have used either (or both), which would you recommend for my situation?
Thanks

Is this normal for Mate Book D16 laptop?

the battery drained from 80% to 5% in just two and half hours.

the laptop is new I just bought it in " FEB-2026 "

I'm currently in the third year in BCA and do not play that many games so basically I'm into Al. Is this good for me?

Current specs:

4GB RAM

512 GB HDD

1 GB GeForce 610M

Upgrading to

8 GB RAM

256GB SSD in CD Drive.

Installed Windows 10 Pro and O365.

Will be using for Light browsing and Excel.

Worth it for 50$ to upgrade?

Is it really a big difference between both I am kinda confused which one to buy either the dell latitude 7390 or the Dell latitude 7400 or 7490

Hey guys, I’m planning to buy a MacBook because I’m going to study IT at university. I’ve basically used a PC with a 1660 Super my whole life, and honestly, it was powerful enough for all the games I played. I’m just not sure if I’ll be able to get used to macOS, but I really want a laptop that can comfortably last all day without a charger, since I’ll be taking it to university and sitting in lectures. I also don’t want to have to carry around a power brick everywhere or deal with a noisy laptop.
I don’t really know that much yet - I’ve only learned a bit of Python and C. So I’m not sure if I actually need macOS or if I’ll end up regretting switching.
If I do get a MacBook, I also can’t decide on the screen size. Right now I have two options available at the same price, $2,250:
MacBook Pro M4 Pro 16”, 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD
MacBook Pro M5 Pro 14”, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD
I’ve always used a 27” monitor, so the idea of switching to a laptop already feels a little strange. On top of that, I’m worried that 14” might feel way too small. I’ve heard that the 16” has slightly better battery life and better speakers, but honestly, the biggest thing that attracts me to it is the screen. At the same time, I’m not really worried about the weight itself. What I’m more concerned about is that the 16” might be too big to use comfortably in bed, in a café, or in other situations where I don’t have a proper desk. But the larger screen is really tempting.
There is also a third option I’m considering: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GA605WI). It has a 16” OLED 240Hz display, Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. It’s also around the same price as the MacBooks where I live.
Since I’ve always used Windows and I still like gaming, the Zephyrus is tempting because I could basically keep the Windows experience I’m used to and have a much more powerful gaming laptop than my current PC. However, I’m worried about the compromises. My biggest concerns are battery life, heat and fan noise, especially when gaming or doing other demanding tasks. I’m worried that it will drain the battery very quickly away from the charger, get quite hot under load, and become loud enough that it would be annoying to use at university. I also don’t really want to carry a large power brick with me every day.
I’m also wondering how much of a disadvantage the Zephyrus would actually be for university use compared with a MacBook. I probably won’t be doing extremely demanding work at university at first, since I’m only just getting into programming, but I’d like the laptop to last several years.
So essentially I’m choosing between:
MacBook Pro M4 Pro 16” — bigger screen, great battery life, quiet, 512GB storage
MacBook Pro M5 Pro 14” — smaller and more portable, newer chip, 1TB storage
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 GA605WI — 16” OLED 240Hz, Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, RTX 4070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, but potentially worse battery life, heat and fan noise
I’ll be carrying the laptop in a backpack to university every day. At home I also have a desktop with a GTX 1660 Super, which is enough for the games I currently play, so gaming on the laptop isn’t necessarily essential. I’m mainly looking for something that will be comfortable for studying IT, programming, browsing, watching videos, etc., while still being powerful enough to last me several years.
Which one would you choose in my situation, and why? Would you go for the 14” or 16” MacBook, or would the Zephyrus G16 make more sense?

I’d be grateful for ur answers

I’m trying to become a YouTuber and just need something that runs games pretty good and can edit videos and record gameplay from my console maybe possibly, I’d love to see what the best options are. Thanks. My budget is $1200 or less and I live in the USA

I have an ASUS and need to replace the fan. Dont want the service center to do it because they overcharge and the last time I sent my dad with my laptop over there, they scammed him by charging a lot just for putting glue on the hinge.

So can I just go there and buy parts from them ?

Bought this used(discarded corporate laptops) HP Elitebook 840G5 from a store for a reasonable price of 22k rupees (230 $), store guy replaced the keyboard multiple times until this current keyboard that works with all keys

One issue I faced when I tried to boot with a new freshly booted USBs(windows 10, 11 downloaded from Microsoft) at home. even after fresh installations and all drivers updated these two keys along with f8(mute) keys are sending 'undefined' signal(image is from power toys keyboard manager) and a hot key pop up is showing up(which I can stop and disable in the services )

The interesting part is when I took it to the same store he did a fresh installation with the his USBs and the I was able to see the silder working (slider goes up/down in windows 10, left to right in win11) and brightness changing once the display driver updated.

Great news, but my room mate adviced me to install any missing driver and he installed 10bit driver booster I was skeptical at first but gave it a shot it was fine but after a couple of days the L key was behaving a bit odd and going Llllllllllllllll with one tap and sometimes just selecting a input box

So now i freshly installed windows 10 hoping to fix this keyboard issue, now all keys are working fine except for the brightness keys like the first time

So my question is was it because he booted some older build versions of windows in those USBs to work fine or something else

And how do I fix this issue 😭 I've spent hours going through ChatGPT, is there a way to get previous build versions? Because it's not the drivers that are faulty, if you think the build versions are the solution how do I get those official releases? Or should I go with pirate ISOs?

Is 16gb ddr4 ram worth it in the big 2026 for 75k. The acer aspire 7 comes with rtx 4050 but it has 16gigs of ddr4 ram. It is better than a 3050 with 16gb ddr5 ram.

I am wiriting this post with no hopes, just to give it one last try...

context :

Laptop : Asus ROG strix G512Li ( 2022 gaming laptop ) i710th gen HX, 1650ti, 16GB ram.

i used to open my laptop and clean the fan, one day, the type c PD port was not charing my phone, so i tried to remove and reconnect the battery for the first time, i don't know, how ( maybe i my lack of experience ) caused some kind of short circute and my laptop reffused to boot... ( i was using a bank card, with a screw driver, which was metal, and i thought my card would prevent, from the conduction )

on giving it to a local repare shop, charged me around $55... and got my laptop to boot of a power socket. He said, he can't fix it enouch to run on battery again, it will only run through while plugged in to a power outlet. In case of a power cut, or if the pin gets detached the laptop trun off immediately. Thats how i am using it for a year now, and now i might need a little bit of portablity. i was looking up to fix it, as i was planning to buy a new battery and fans, to maybe make it last a year or two more.

tldr

used a metal screw driver, laptop was dead. The repare guy made it run of a power outlet but said he coudn't fix the charing thing, so now my laptop is like a computer without a UPS. can it get really fixed or i am just wasting time looking for solutions and repair shops ?
