I used an Asus Vivobook before, now switched to Lenovo. What was your best laptop ever?

Hi all! I tried deleting firefox with revo uninstaller, which I've been using for the past year or so to skip the annoying confirmations and fake slow load times apps tend to inject while uninstalling, but now for some reason this started happening the moment I decided to cancel the uninstalling process. I restarted and everything appeared normal, but it started up again a while afterwards. (Ps, ignore the weird renames and files, I've had this since I was 13 and I never really bothered deleting the cringe stuff.)

as mentioned in post title. though the display is thankfully not causing any obstruction, there is still a blackish blotch on the top corner of the screen along with two lines at the top. i can use it as i was before.

should i get it checked and fixed? if so, how much will it cost if repaired by a local shop and not the HP store itself? or should i get it repaired only by the HP store? OR is it okay to ignore it since it's just a display thing and won't turn worse over time? please let me know. thankyou !! :D

ps. it's out of the warranty period. about three weeks ago, i got its battery changed since it got realllly bloated. there seems to be some bad omen around my laptop sigh :/

I am buying an x390 yoga 16gb ram

256ssd

Core i5 8365u

For about 138 usd

Is it a good deal or am I getting ripped off

Well as we all know about the RAM prices, I don't wanna spend unnecessarily on DDR5 RAM, so please helppp me guyyss,

I don't know i thought DDR4 was good enough but then I watched a few vids and asked AI about it, it was pretty insistent on DDR5. Could y'all please help me out with it, I'm gonna go for 16GB RAM for context.

Thank youu

Edit: I am a Computer Science Major with a specialization in Data Science who wanna buy a new Laptop

Hi I am studying computer engineering, I am in third grade and I need to switch my laptop(its not working any more) for something else.

I was thinking of macbooks since a lot of my classmates use it. I was thinking either ThinkPad T14 or macbook pro and to be honest macbook suit my needs better because there is almost no fan voice amazing battery life and Charger isnt bulky.Exactly what I want.

But here is the problem. I never used any apple devices before and I dont plan to get one especcially iphones maybe ipad but not until I graduate. I have a android phone(HONOR) android tablet(Samsung) and windows desktop gaming pc.

Everyone around me is anti apple and they all say that since I dont use any apple devices it will shatter my work place. Getting into apple ecosystem atleast right now is impossible for me.

İf not macbook I would go with ThinkPad. I KNOW its the exact opposite of macs and goes against everything I want from a laptop but since no Windows laptop would give me an experience like macbook might aswell go with thinkapd since they have a lot of feautures I love.

Also even if I get a macbook I would still get a ThinkPad in addition to my macbook or get a macbook if I had a ThinkPad İN THE FUTURE When I have chance

Also I am not buying laptop for gaming. I have desktop pc for that as I mentioned before.

İs macbook good for me or should I get a Windows.

I’m looking at buying a laptop, primarily for gaming.
My other half wants to play Planet Zoo 2 so need to know if this is good for it?
My knowledge is frazzled by chatGPT but my old laptop is a 11 year old with an Nvidia GTX 950 so well outdated

Any advice would be much appreciated

like the title says is this a good deal?

Lenovo - Yoga 7a 2-in-1 14" 2K OLED Touchscreen Laptop - AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 2026- 16GB Memory - 512GB Storage - Copilot+ PC - Seashell

For $711 without tax is this a good deal or should I wait till black friday/ cyber monday to get a laptop or not?

I will use this laptop for school work and some light gaming but mainly school work.

Thanks meow

Looking to buy a laptop main use would be everyday usage as well as maybe some work stuff maybe a little gaming nothing intense I haven’t a clue with specs so please lmk!

Budget: ~$500
I’m looking for a laptop to use at home for work. To access apps, I’ll need to set up VPNs.
It doesn’t have to have a touchscreen.
Since I often research, I usually open multiple apps and browser tabs simultaneously.

Any recs?

Bought it 4 months ago for ~$800. Didnt like it much but its literally brand new. My parents gonna whoop my ass if they know. Should i take it to fix it professionally? I have an old laptop that i can use but it needs to be plugged in to use. Or is there any place where i can trade in for some cash?

I was playing a game with my freinds off of steam when my laptops fan suddenly started going randomly very loud every couple of seconds. idk barely anything abt computers I got this from my mom on my birthday after begging for awhile and ive had it for about a year. I cleaned the fans and tried to clean them according to a YouTube tutorial I saw but the heatsink I think its called is connected to my fan so I just vacuumed excess dust and brushed, but even after I cleaned it(my dad's buying me an air can later today to try cleaning it more so who knows) the fan is still SUPER DUPER LOUD in short bursts every couple seconds other then that the fan sound like its barely working when I start it up.

Any tips or should I just take it to a repair shop or save up for an actual pc 😭😓🤔

My mum wants a new laptop, no rush, but she knows very little about what makes a good laptop. I want to get her something decent but she doesnt need anything fancy. She will not want any linux based machine and would probably want to stick to windows since she uses microsoft apps and she understands it best. Any recommendations people have? Would need at least 512gb storage

I've been looking for one and most seem to be around 240-300 with charger and 256gb ssd. Is this a good price? I've seen people get em for less than 200, but I can't seem to have any such luck.

Like what's going on with new laptops, gpu, vram, ram, ports and charging, cooling etc

Refurbished leptop 6 months motherboard warranty

Hi everyone. I need a laptop for office work and gaming games like rdr2 rdr1 gta5 etc. And i need it for office work also. I am 21M still a student but got a job.

Help me find a good laptop i will be very greatful. My budget is 80 to 85k INR

That started from nowhere! I never poured anything, never dropped it and sometimes this sound disappears. A few days ago I cleaned the fans, there was a lot of dust, but the sound didn’t go away. It doesn’t matter what I am doing, playing or just watching YouTube, it can start sounding like this again. What I can I do to check what’s wrong? I am afraid it may sound like HDD breaking or something, I’m not good at computers too.

Hi everyone, recently I booted up my Acer Aspire 5. However, it doesn’t have a common OS. It runs “Googlebook OS”, which i installed from a project called gbos-x86. Anyways, for some reason this strange blue mark with scattered pixels keeps getting worse, even though I haven’t done anything to the computer. This issue is not from the OS, but rather strangely from the laptop itself. Can someone please assist me?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3
GPU: Radeon Graphics
OS: Googlebook OS (NOT A GOOGLEBOOK, JUST HAS THE OS)
Problem: Display
Screen type: 1080p, not OLED(?)

I’m looking to buy a laptop for around £850–£900, potentially stretching a little further. I’m deciding between a Windows laptop with an NVIDIA GPU and a MacBook Air.
My main uses will be:
AI/ML engineering and experimenting with open-source models
Python and general software development
Learning about AI infrastructure, GPU computing and potentially training or fine-tuning smaller models
Linux development, Docker and working with remote servers
I currently have an Ubuntu desktop with an RTX 2060 Super (8GB VRAM), but I’m planning to sell it, so the laptop may become my main development machine. I don’t mind using cloud GPUs for particularly demanding workloads, but I’d prefer to do most of my everyday development and smaller experiments locally.
I’m not interested in gaming on this laptop, as I’ll have a separate gaming PC later.
My questions:
How important is NVIDIA CUDA for someone learning AI/ML engineering and infrastructure?
Would losing access to a local NVIDIA GPU significantly limit the projects I could realistically work on?
Would you recommend an RTX 5050 laptop with 8GB VRAM, or a MacBook Air with 16GB or more of unified memory?
At this budget, would you prioritise GPU performance, system RAM, battery life or build quality?
If you were buying a laptop for these purposes today, what would you choose and why?
I’d appreciate advice from people who actually develop and experiment with AI models on their machines, particularly anyone who has used both NVIDIA laptops and Apple Silicon Macs.
Thanks!

I’m majoring in Mathematics and Data Science. What laptop should I buy for my studies and future career? My budget is a maximum of $2,000 CAD.

Tried F8,F9,F10

Not really sure what to do to load my pc Bios.

Background: was using youtube and pc crashed and since stuck on this screen
