    Anyone replaced TN panel on Dell Inspiron 15-5577 with iPS panel?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 02:06 PM PST

    I recently got a Dell Inspiron 15-5577 on Black Friday, and I notice that compared to my nice big IPS monitor on my main rig the viewing angles are garbage. I'd like to replace the TN panel with an IPS one, but I'm having issues establishing which IPS panels are compatible

    (I'm not sure if I can trust various replacement parts sites as they seem to be offering exact replacements, i.e. - crappy TNs)

    Thanks a bunch in advance.

    Lenovo delivered me a faulty Yoga 720 15" and refuses to replace it

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:25 AM PST

    [US] Have $800, looking for light gaming laptop. Good Build quality is more important than power.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 01:10 PM PST

    Would love suggestions. Design and durability are more important than raw power, but would like a gpu at least on par w/ the MX150 or 960mx.

    Was looking at the Acer Swift 3, really like the aluminum shell but was scared away by non-upgradeable ram.

    Thanks!

    Laptop for programming for £500 or less?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 12:14 PM PST

    Hey, what's the best bang for buck for programming in this price range? So far I've found this Acer Aspire 3 but I'm not sure if it's my best choice. Something with a quality keyboard would be preferred. Thanks!

    Laptop mostly for work and casual gaming

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 04:34 AM PST

    Hi there, I'm planning on buying a laptop to use at university (im stydying engineering) but also to play casually some mmorpg games that are really old (2007-2009). Im looking for a 13" screen, light weight, goos cpu (since i'll be using a lot of solidworks), 8gb of ram, fast memory (i dont care that much about capacity), and ofc good temperature management. My budget is 650€ and for that price range i've found this one that honestly looks amazing: h ttps://m.gearbest.com/laptops/pp_648196.html?wid=21&lkid=11590484 Any other suggestions? Thanks

    In the market for a laptop; first time in 7 years; Advice needed

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 11:59 AM PST

    I have been using a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro as my daily driver for the past 7 years. It is undeniably on it's last legs and have decided to purchase a new laptop; it is time.

    I am not married to iOS. I enjoy it, it's what I've used this whole time...however, I have a desktop I built myself and have no issues with Windows 10 either. Likewise, the MBP has been the ONLY product I own within the Apple Ecosystem and that will hold true.

    I have been browsing around replacements and I seem to keep coming back to either 2017 MacBook Pro 13", Lenovo Yoga 920, or HP Spectre x360. I know at this point, opting between iOS or Windows will be very personal preference heavy, but I have a few other thoughts I'd appreciate some feedback on:

    • Will I regret sizing down to a 13"? My current MBP weighs 5.5lbs and feels like a brick compared to current laptops. The compact size of a 13" seems nice.
    • Thoughts on 4K resolution on a laptop? Is the clearer, sharper picture typically worth the hit battery life takes?
    • Component recency/size - MacBooks still have 7th Gen Intel chips, while it seems most Windows have the newest 8th Gens. Worth it? Same deal with RAM...how crucial is it really that I get 16gb rather than 8gb? I know it has to do with future proofing, which I am definitely looking for, but to what degree is it a necessity?

    I plan on having this laptop for quite some time, so I am hoping to do m due diligence. Will be used for typical browsing, watching videos, work related tasks(MS Office, Photoshop, Web Design), and I have just recently gotten into programming/WebDev, so that as well(Heard Mac is usually better for this cause of the whole Unix thing?) Since I have the desktop build mentioned earlier, gaming isn't exactly a priority for the laptop.

    Price is not an issue. I am willing to make the investment in a quality device that will last me years and years to come.

    Any helpful guidance would be great! Will really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

    Any reviews on this laptop? price seems really good for the specs - if not too cheap

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 11:22 AM PST

    So looking at a very portable laptop for travelling that I can also video edit on and been going through more laptop models than I can count. Just stumbled across the Lenovo Ideapad 320s and it seems really cheap whilst boasting what appears to be very high spec?

    Any advice would be very much appreciated!

    I want a quality Laptop that i can run linux on

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 11:11 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a large screen (At LEAST 15", larger preferred), something fast, and something secure and more private if possible (Unless that doesn't matter if I am running linux anyway?). I know privacy is never 100%. Something quality that will last a couple years.

    The times I had an apple laptop - chromebook - I really liked it better than any pc I've ever had, But computer expert is recommending the business class HP or Dell models and says that it's a completely different quality than the stuff you can get in stores (which he admits is shyt). What do you think, and please say why you like/don't like it so I can decide for myself.

    Thanks guys!

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 04:43 AM PST

    Never bought anything that would be replaced. I am talking about amazon. Is it an easy process? I've never even called a customer support in my life , very worried about this lol.

    Thank you for the responses.

    Should I wait until summer 2018?

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 05:54 AM PST

    I was wondering if it would be better to buy a computer later since I don't need one yet. I suppose the prices would drop down and new computers will come out by that time? I do kind of want to buy one already because my computer is old, it's still functioning properly though so no rush for me really. Should I just wait?

    Dell XPS 15 or HP Omen - General Purpose laptop in India.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 05:39 AM PST

    Based on my requirements below and the availability in India, I've narrowed down my search to the Dell XPS 15: https://www.compuindia.com/new-xps-15-xps157165124sp1.html or HP Omen 4k: https://www.hpshopping.in/omen-by-hp-15-ce074tx-2gd84pa-2.html

    I know the build on the Dell is probably much better, but the HP seems to be giving so much more. What do you guys think? My biggest concern with both laptops is the screen quality.

    • Total budget and country of purchase: INR 1,60,000 (USD 2500), India

    • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Best specifications for the money. portability and battery are not that important.

    • How important is weight and thinness to you? Not important. Will use it mostly on a desk.

    • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windows primarily; will dual boot to Linux

    • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. 15.6 at the minimum. 17" would be good. A good quality 4k screen is important to me, and I would prefer a glass (glossy) finish for better contrast. Do a lot of photo editing, so more space for menu's with 4k res, and a good colour gamut would be preffered.

    • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Photo editing with lightroom/photoshop. Eclipse, Mongo DB, Hadoop and others for work. Gaming is a must.. but I'm not a hardcore gamer.

    • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Haven't gamed on a laptop for some time, but gaming is definitely on the cards. Overwatch, Nier Automata, cuphead, pubg, witcher 3 and so on.

    • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I plan to use it for 4-5 years, so a good warranty support is important. Would like a good keyboard. I use an external mouse, so the trackpad's not important. Would be nice if it has a HDD as well as a M2 drive. Should be easily upgradable.

    • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. In short, I'm looking for a laptop with a top notch 4k screen, i7 7th gen at least, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 1050 or above card.Not too concerned about portability or battery as it will be plugged in most of the time.

    Flex 5 vS Yoga 720

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 08:36 AM PST

    Hey guys, would you choose the flex 5 or yoga 720. I am currently in engineering and will be using the laptop for note taking, 3D programs, and coding.

    The only spec difference that I can see is that the yoga 720 has an 1050, larger ssd (noHDD). The flex 5 claims to have a higher battery life, and includes an HDD and SSD but has a 940mx. Both models are 3840x2160.

    The yoga 720 costs $1750 and the flex 5 costs $1600.

    I like a laptop with a good keyboard and sturdy build. Which laptop should I go for.

    Thanks!

    Acer Upgrade Bundles

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:52 AM PST

    Hey guys, been researching new laptop for school & decided on going with an Acer E15, but there are a couple versions of the computer, as well as upgrade accessories I want to use, but I'm having some trouble deciding what the best option for me is.

    I am starting at my local community college working toward an AS in Gen. Ed w/ Natural Science focus right now, so I don't have any extremely demanding classes, just your basic "101" level classes. I also like to do a bit of gaming here & there. Nothing too consistent, but when I find a game I like, I grind on it for a week or two, and I do this maybe 2-3x per year. I'd like to be able to play the Arkham games, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Origins, and similar games, even if it is on reduced graphics settings. Again, I'm not a hardcore enthusiast gamer & don't care about Ultra 4KHD 10k FPS right now.

    I also have a lot of music & a few movies on my current computer and would like to have it all transferred over, but with Spotify being a thing, I could probably select my favorite 150 albums to save onto the HD or an external SD.

    Below you'll see the 3 bundle options I've planned out, weighing some pros & cons of each bundle, and I 'd like to see if anyone has anything to add, or maybe mention something I may not have considered. I appreciate you taking a look.

    Ultimate Acer Bundle - $825+tax = $880 -Acer E15 w/ i5 core, 8GB RAM, 256SSD, GeForce MX150 graphics card + 256GB SSD on board + added 2nd 240GB SSD, total 496GB SSD storage +added 8GB RAM, totaling 16GB RAM +1TB Portable HD +wireless mouse

    cons: cost. Approaching $900, this is really stretching the budget & potentially leading to better out-of-box options pros: This setup will give a lot of technological headroom, will run smoothly and quietly, easily handling all but the most demanding tasks. Will tackle all kinds of programs from Photoshop, Video Editing software & will even play games at respectable performance levels (bearing in mind, this is NOT a pro gaming system.) With all on-board memory being SSD, there are no moving parts, and will prevent overheating. With proper care, this laptop should last min. 3 years of college coursework, or may be re-sold with an above-average resell price. With the added SSD & External HD's in this bundle, it's possible to have backups of backups & allow easy access of files across other computers. Another benefit of the secondary SSD & External HD is that they are removable storage, so the I can simply remove the drives to use in a new & return the laptop back to factory condition if I was to sell/replace it at a later date.

    Pro Acer Bundle - $695+tax = $698 - Acer E15 w/ i5 core, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, GeForce 940MX graphics card +added 4GB RAM stick for 12GB RAM total +added 120GB SSD for OS migration +wireless mouse

    pros: Similar performance value as the Ultimate Bundle, but compromising a few key features to net a $180 savings. In this bundle, the laptop ships w/ 1TB HD on board. I've add a 120GB SSD so that I can transfer the OS onto it to reduce startup times & improve OS efficiency. This frees up the on-board 1TB HD for documents, programs & other data, and an external HD can be added at later time if desired. With 12GB RAM, the user should have plenty of processing headroom for most any task. May experience lag if using too many programs and/or browser windows open. cons: 1TB HD is not portable & is less efficient than SSD. May cause some noise & a slightly higher running temp. Could potentially experience lag when using a lot of programs, or gaming.

    Core Acer Bundle - $505+tax = $540 -Acer E15 w/ i3 core, 4GBRAM, 1TB HDD, integrated graphics +added 4GB RAM stick for total 8GB +added 120GB SSD for OS +wireless mouse

    pros: cost. At about $550, this is a beefed-up solid work machine. Standard SSD upgrade means fast boot-times & general OS efficiency. Will power through web-browsing with ease & still has the strength to run most commonly used programs. cons: low on-board RAM requires upgrade. no portable HD. No dedicated graphics card means limited gameplay.

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:44 AM PST

    I recently started using my laptop as a tablet for the first time. The laptop itself is like 2 years old. I hear a noise when I change it from Laptop to tablet and I'm not sure what to do. It appears that different models go about this differently. I have a Dell Inspiron 13 7378 Series

    I have a question regarding sSD Instal

    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:12 AM PST

    Hello, my first ever SSD just arrived, and I am really have no patience to install it.

    I have a ASUS N551JK running Windows 8.1, I want to instal the SSD in the prime slot and use it for OS etc, and my old HDD should go in the cd-rom slot I have the caddy and all.

    My question is will I be able to boot windows and use it and move data between the two after I have moved it to the cd-rom spot? I don't have much space left in the HDD and I have to move some stuff back and forth until I can format it and instal the OS on the SSD.

    Data transfer from built in 32GB SSD to new internal 128GB SSD.

    Posted: 26 Dec 2017 11:20 PM PST

    The new SSD comes with a migration software but how will I go about this? Should I clone the contents of the built in SSD and put them on the newer SSD, then set the newer SSD as the main drive?
