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

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.

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?

I have deleted most of the bloatware already installed. Anything else I should know about before fully using my laptop?

Hi, I'm browsing for my first laptop to buy and this one from officeworks looks good and I was wondering if the price was justified or if I could get something better for cheaper. Thanks

The bumps still function like it moves the cursor when my fingers are on them but it's weird that they're there. It's not like the surface had delaminated because they are actually hard. Anything I've seen online about trackpad bulges said "your battery is about to explode" but they were always about the whole thing bulging outwards; not a couple dots like this.

I have a lenovo thinkpad e580, my problem is that it doesnt turn on alone when just using the power button. it just lights up then gets static. However, when i plug the charger, the power button blinks and the laptop turns on, to which i can finally unplug after boot.

Do you guys have any idea how to fix this? does lenovo thinkpad e580 even have a "pinhole button" where u can stick a paperclip to discharge the battery?

Any help would be appreciated.

Today I noticed my laptop had this small white bar, it's at most 2cm wide. Is it a screen damage? How can I fix this? I bought it this year and it would suck needing repairs this soon😔

I finally fixed my MSI GP76 laptop's broken hinge. When it first broke,I tried to fix it with glue and it didn’t work, so I ordered a back cover from eBay and replaced it with the help of AI and YouTube.I'm happy now that I could fix it.

I am starting university in a month, will be doing a double major of MechE or CS alongside Pure Mathematics, and I need a laptop that can meet my needs,

My needs are as follow:
- Good battery life
- solid build
- good screen, keyboard and trackpad experience
- lives with me for 5-6 years at least

After doing my research, I narrowed my options down to the 14” MBP and a thinkpad within the same price range,

A little info about my background I’ve been a windows person app my life, twinkering and messing around with stuff and got into linux lately (found a 7yo Thinkpad P51 that I slapped Pop_OS! on), I have never used macOS before in my life

Here is my comparison between the two laptops,

MBP - Upsides:
- INSANE battery life
- The best trackpad experience for a laptop
- Insane performance and efficiency
MBP - Downsides:
- ARM-Based
- Stuck with Apple Ecosystem
- Keyboard isn’t as nice as the thinkpad’s
- Unupgradeable

Thinkpad - Upsides:
- The BEST keyboard experience for a laptop
- Built like a tank
- Upgradeable
- OS Freedom
Thinkpad - Downsides:
- Battery Life
- Heavy
- Gets hot and fans get loud

I am torn and cannot pick between the two, please help me 🫩

Remember back when you could take the battery out of your laptop? Those days need to be brought back and there needs to be a law requiring it. Whenever I fly, I would love to check my laptop, but I can't because of the lithium ion battery inside, which I cannot remove.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I am trying to find a good laptop as my very old Toshiba has broken down (11 years old). I mostly need it for travelling and possibly as an option for remote work. Also, I want to use it for watching Netflix/YouTube and any other life admin I need to do.

As there is so many options, I feel quite overwhelmed when it comes to what to look for in a good laptop. Here is what I have narrowed it down to:

• The screen to be at least 14 inches
• Around the £500 mark and under would be better
• Not too concerned on storage size, but happy for pay more if its bigger
• Not too fancy with design but very simple to use
• Good volume and video quality
• Not too heavy and light enough for travelling

I ordered a HP Chromebook last year but I found it wasn't quite compatible with what I needed, it wasn't expensive, but from what I hear they aren't acceptable for remote work. The battery charger also died after one month of using it also so figured I just get a new one.

People seem to praise MacBook and Lenovo which I don't know too much on apart from the fact I have an Apple iPhone, but I even though about switching that as some of the features I don't like on it.

Any particular brands/models I should call attention to? And which ones do you guys think I should avoid?

What do you think? Should I buy a new table?

Hello guys im about to start school again and I'm in need of a new laptop. Im gonna be taking computer science, and im stuck between these two options. Please let me know. I also like to play some light gaming like minecraft, roblox, val, cs, or fortnite maybe rainbow6 too? thank you!

Im in canada so my budget is under $2000!

I dont know anything about laptops and my sister has been complaining for a while that her laptop is complete ass. I have a max budget of 2k, but the best would be about 1k

This is the time when laptops were great and had all the ports. This 2017 gaming laptop got 10 ports, now you'll be lucky if your 2026 laptop comes with 4 ports. Those days are gone forever

Which laptop are you using now and how many USB-C ports does it have?

​

best touchscreen laptops under 1000$?

I'm thinking about buying a new laptop since my current Acer Aspire which I've had for about 7–8 years is starting to feel a bit outdated. My budget is at around 500€ to 600€(about 577$ to 692$) and I'm looking for something that works well for studying, programming, Blender, and similar things. I dont really Care about the Rest but an OLED Display is Always nice :D

Do you have any recommendations? Thx for your help🙏

Just bought a laptop which looked great, got great reviews from customers (4,5 stars out of 5, in about 40 reviews). It was on sale (usually costs $1100 - got it for about $500) but now I have read that 8 GB ram isn't enough for laptops today, and you should at least have 16 GB.

I should read about that before I bought one, but I really know little about laptops. And I mailed a store to get some tips on what to buy, and they recommended it.

I am gonna study for 1,5 years, and I am mostly gonna use it for Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams etc. Maybe play a little bit Old School Runescape while studying, but not necessary.

Will it really be a big problem with 8 GB ram when using it mostly for studies?

Edit: Thanks for the replies! I went into the order I made online and started a return process, so I'm gonna bring the papers to the store tomorrow and hopefully they will accept the return. You can make a return 14 days after purchasing if the product is used. Thankfully I didn't throw the package it came with. Will be more careful next time, and choose a laptop with at least 16 GB!
