    Dell XPS 13 (2019) vs Razer Blade Stealth 2019: Which to get for a Grad student on the go?

    Posted: 12 May 2019 12:12 PM PDT

    Hello All,

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out. I am purchasing a new laptop for coding/ analysis type work that needs to be quite portable for my grad student needs. As such, the xps 13 and blade stealth seemed like great options. I wanted to ask what others thought/ had heard about the laptops when compared to each other, since, while I like the USB-A and mx150 on the blade stealth, I wasn't sure if there were other aspects about the xps 13 that makes it the obvious choice.

    Laptop plugged but battery is being drained

    Posted: 12 May 2019 02:14 PM PDT

    I let my laptop plugged all the time (Asus) but with option to optimize the battery life, it means, to not charge the battery while plugged. It is set for best performance (instead of best battery life) when plugged power mode. But even though, when I connect my phone to transfer data or to charge the phone, or when I play heavy games, it drains the laptop battery (and charges the phone). My computer is new and I have never used without being plugged. And sometimes it charges 1%. I don't know why, but I am paranoid about this because I only use plugged to make sure to save the battery life for strictly necessary cases.

    Sorry if this question has been asked a lot, but is it ok to leave your laptop plugged in at home, and just use it on battery when you’re out?

    Left half of laptop keyboard not working after cleaning

    Posted: 12 May 2019 01:01 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I recently disconnected my HP Pavilion laptop keyboard from the motherboard connector in order to clean the fan with an air duster. However, upon reconnecting the keyboard, only the right half of the keyboard actually registers keys. Any suggestions? I've tried all the standard stuff (restarting, updating drivers etc). I've checked and rechecked the connection to the motherboard; it looks fine.

    Question about upgrade

    Posted: 12 May 2019 06:51 AM PDT

    I just bought my first refurbished laptop to try and upgrade to a nicer/faster/better machine. I've never done this! I've built a couple gaming desktops from scratch for my daughter and I but nothing like this. My question is I bought a Dell Latitude E5540 from dell refurbishment directly simply because it was the cheapest on their site ( I know I know cheap isn't always good). But my question is what all exactly can I upgrade because I'm getting conflicting info from the internet.

    Thanks in advance

    Posted: 12 May 2019 12:41 PM PDT

    Is it possible to take a GTX 1050 and attach it to an Inspiron 7373 via an External Graphics Card Dock?

    Something like this https://www.amazon.com/XCSOURCE-External-Independent-Graphics-AC866/dp/B074XFMFXZ/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=External+Video+Card+Dock&qid=1557658335&s=gateway&sr=8-5#customerReviews as well as a power supply for it.

    Need to upgrade from my current laptop. Please Help!

    Posted: 12 May 2019 12:37 PM PDT

    Ive had a HP Envy M4 for nearly 8 years now from a black friday sale. I was looking at 2 option replacements. The Acer Predator Helios 300 or this Asus ROG Strix?

    If not any of those can you guys suggest me a laptop around the $1000 to maybe below $1400 range? Something that doesnt overheat so easily when I use it daily for more than 5 hours a day.

    Matebook Pro X or Dell XPS (2019)?

    Posted: 12 May 2019 12:26 PM PDT

    I love Huawei and what they're doing at the moment in terms of rivaling Apple in the quality of their products but the availability of the repairs if anything were to go wrong worries me. Out of these two laptops, which should I get? Can I run a game like Skyrim on the Dell or should I look for something else before purchasing?

    Can anyone recommend the ASUS Q534UX(Q534)? I’m thinking about getting one but their aren’t a whole lot of reviews?

    Posted: 12 May 2019 12:13 PM PDT

    As a side note: The one I've found is on Craigslist for 500, but the headphone jack doesn't work. Outside of that the laptop seems to be in good shape and has "less than a year of use". This seems like a really good deal, but what do you think?

    MSI GE73 8RF Right Hinge Broke after 1 month

    MSI GE73 8RF Right Hinge Broke after 1 month

    Heay Guys, Im facing a messed up situation now because the right hinge of my MSI laaptop is broken, I live in Sri Lanka and my father bought this laptop when he came from South Korea last year October, the next month the right hinge broke after my fucking moron friend held the laptop from the display, he held the left side by the chasis and the right side by the middle of the edge of the display. It did not break immediately though, I was opening and closing it perfectly for almost two weeks but i heard a small creak each time i did it, I never knew this would happen and suddenly one day I heard a cracking sound on the right side as I tried to close the laptop and then this happened. Im still using the laptop but its open always, also i have the display leaned onto a heavy box so the weight isnt completely on the hinges. I dont know what to do nw guys, I tried to contact MSI korea and no response, my dad bought this from an MSI dealer in SK, He spoke to him and the guy isnt really helping that much. What should I do know, I even sent an online ticket and still no response, I dont know what to do, this laptop is a beast but I kind of regret buying this one, now I feel like MSI are the worst, I messaged anOfficial insta account and they said ill have to send it back to SK to repair it, I also have another 7 month warranty, I spoke to some local guys who deal MSI here and they said I'll have to pay to repair the laptop which is ridiculous as they say they are the official partners, also I saw some small plastic pieces falling from the gap, please someone help me out, it would be a big help, Sorry for grammar mistakes English is not my first language. I tried other forums but none helped, but reddit has been a place of hope for me because though everyone are anonymous, reddit has helped me at certain places, THank you

    Downgrade from dell xps 15 (2017 version)

    Posted: 12 May 2019 10:48 AM PDT

    Hello all, just finished up my first semester at uni (Mech. Engineering) with my laptop I bought (Dell xps 15). I've come to the realization that I do not need something so powerful for what it's worth. Originally, I had planned to run solid works simulations on it but seeing as this is not something I will have to do often I'm looking to downgrade.

    The 4k display and touchscreen are fantastic, but truly, these are gimmicks that I can live without. And the GTX 1050 is a little to powerful for me! Anyways, looking to downgrade to something a little cheaper, I dont mind having to upgrade ram and storage to an SSD.

    **Total budget and country of purchase:*\*

    500-600 CAD, Canada

    **Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply.*\*

    Mainly a decent battery life and a good CPU is what I'm looking for. 2 in 1 is great, but not a requirement.

    **How important is weight and thinness to you?*\*

    The lighter, the better. Its an hour commute from home to school!

    **Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.*\*

    15 inch or smaller.

    **Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.*\*

    Mainly just chrome and other university apps that aren't too CPU intensive. No gaming except for emulation.

    **Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?*\*

    I hate keyboards that stick or that are flush with the bezel, so something a little raised would be good. I take good care of my stuff, won't be dropping it much, but don't really want something made of thin plastic. Again, touch screen, finger print reading, etc. are not really needed but would be cool. Must have at least 2 USB ports and if there is no optical drive, even better.

    **Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.*\*

    Ultimately, I would like something that I could upgrade its internals and that has a decent battery life and wifi card. Thats it. For internals, 8GB ram and a 256-512GB SSD. Again, I can buy something and upgrade it if need be.

    A Good 1k laptop for media Consumption, School, and light gaming

    Posted: 12 May 2019 10:27 AM PDT

    Hows it going!
    Looking to do emulation (pcsx2, dolphin, etc), and some old/indie steam games. (portal, wizard of legend, sonic adventure 1/2/generations).
    I'd like to stay around 1k, and would prefer something thats aesthetically pleasing. Any suggestions?
    Edit: As for aesthetics, I really like the look of the dell xps, macbook pro, and the new razer blade stealth. Basically square, flat, minimalist designs. Though they don't have to be that thin.

    Best USB C charger for LG gram 13.3?

    Posted: 12 May 2019 09:55 AM PDT

    I'm looking to get a LG Gram 13.3 laptop soon and I wanted to know which USB C cable I can use to charge my laptop. I'll probably not use the actual AC plug that is included in the laptop in favor of the USB C charger. Any recommendations from LG Gram or otherwise users?
