    You shouldn't see any difference, excluding version like you said. I use Samsung T5's regularly to transfer files on client machines, or use them to reinstall images. Using both case/motherboard USB ports on several machines and haven't noticed anything. With transfer rates being identical.

    You should be good to go, I would ignore comments of people who apparently didn't read the entire post and speeds on the memory. I've done this with hundreds of computers over the years, and never noticed a problem. Both with laptops and desktops. Even on my XPS 9500 after a memory module failed, I now have a 32GB stick + 16GB stick but both have the same speeds and I didn't notice a single performance decrease other than inability to run the same amount of VM's at the same spec.

    Yup it should work just fine, if one module has slower speed than the other. The default speed will be the slower module. The performance difference will be little to none, maybe in a benchmark but real world performance should see nothing.

    Tons of good Lenovo laptops, with an almost unparalleled typing experience available under your budget. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkbook-series/ThinkBook-14-Gen-2-AMD/p/XXTBXTMA400 Picked up the 16GB model for my wife and she loves it, seems rock solid and has amazing performance. Thinkpad T15 is a great option, P series are amazing. I have a P52 and P53 which are beasts.

    I wouldn't say they are a scam, tons of daily customers. The horror stories are like 1/500, so I'd say your safe.

    Out of those 2 I would go for the HP just because it has 16GB RAM, providing a little more longevity. Lost of good Lenovo laptops around that price point. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkbook-series/ThinkBook-14-Gen-2-AMD/p/XXTBXTMA400 The Ryzen CPU in this one is way better than either of the machines you listed, and probably better than anything else in it's price point.

    Maybe take the ram out and try them one by one, and see if anything changes.

    I use a WD19TBS with my 9500, specs are a little above yours with the i7-10875h. Haven't had a problem with it, pushes less power for non-dell systems. Also I use 3x32" Dell P3221D monitors.

    Yea definitely possible, other forums posts stating the same kind of thing happened bricking the BIOS.

    shttps://www.lptps.com/best-laptops-under-1200/ Seems like a pretty complete list, most of the Intel laptops here with have TB3 which can output displays, even Type-C which supports display port will output just fine. Lenovo has some good laptops in that price range, even some new Ryzen machines. Always have good sales going.

    Have you tried removing GPU, maybe cycle the RAM. Take out one dimm, attempt booting and repeating the process with the other dimm while remove the previous.
  12. Gung Pow Chicken
    Can you post a picture of what exactly is happening when you turn the system on? Have you attempted to boot safe mode? How are you trying to get into the BIOS? Is your keyboard wired or wireless? If it's wireless do you have a wired we can use?
  13. Gung Pow Chicken
    Don't forget to hold the power button
  14. Gung Pow Chicken
    What wires go to the CMOS, or what other batteries are there? Isn't this a desktop? That should be the only battery.
  15. Gung Pow Chicken
    Just unplug the power cable going to the PSU.
  16. Gung Pow Chicken
    Remove the CMOS battery, remove all power and hold the power button for an entire minute.
  17. Gung Pow Chicken
    Try the CMOS with Power combo for sure, there is clearly some kind of know issues with this software as a simple google search found a few.
  18. Gung Pow Chicken
    I don't use any of that stuff so my bad lol Haven't watched LTT videos in years either so unless it's related to my job I'm left out lol. How are you locked out of the BIOS? like it just won't load or maybe your password isn't working? You could pull the CMOS battery and maybe hold the power button for 60 seconds with all sources of power removed.
  19. Gung Pow Chicken
    Seems pretty solid to me, I would probably get a little larger M.2.
  20. Gung Pow Chicken
    I would have either exchanged or returned it if there has been issues since the start. Maybe warranty?
  21. Gung Pow Chicken
    Remove the added device, make sure it's completely unplugged. After that turn on the system, go into the BIOS and see if the system recognizes the boot drive, and or any drive if you have multiple.
  22. Gung Pow Chicken
    Like the m.2 port used to connect a wifi adapter?
  23. Gung Pow Chicken
    Seems like a good machine, reviews might be far and few as it's not really a big name. Vostro really being centered towards businesses. Are you strictly looking for a new laptop?
  24. Gung Pow Chicken
    Lenovo Legion are cheap, paid less that $1,000 for my Y530. Build quality is meh, for cheap build your own desktop. Loads of videos on how to do it :D
  25. Gung Pow Chicken
    Probably any NVMe drive, I believe they haev 2 NVMe ports. Open the back panel and find out
