I guess not, I basically just want to find whatever notebooks that have the best display in my price range hahah, so whatever that might be.

Well I'll have to go for the next best thing, a decent 1080p TN panel? Something with good brightness/contrast. It doesn't have to be IPS, just ideally, but I just want something that looks good. There are so many budget laptops with garbage dull displays that colour warp at like 1 degree off bring perfectly centered in front of it and are less than 1080p. It hurts my soul to look at that. As I'm on a fixed income (disability income) and live dollar to dollar, and only recently sold some stuff to come up with the $600 I have, i won't really be able to come up with any more in the foreseeable future.

Hmm, I definitely want to buy new, and I don't really have any interest in a tablet because a useable keyboard is pretty important. But are you sure you're not mixing up IPS with amoLED? Because there are tablets (notably Samsung) with amoLED panels around $500.

Hey guys! I'm looking to pick up a laptop this weekend, and I need some help finding the right one. Basically, all I care about is two things. $600 Canadian and under, and a decent (ideally IPS, 1080p+) display. That's it. All I want it for is watching Netflix/twitch/YouTube and messaging. Hence why the display is important. I don't need lots of ram, processor doesn't need to be ballin as long as it'll play 1080p video smoothly, pretty much don't need much storage at all (but a huge plus if I can find something with solid state/flash storage in my price range, or at least that I can throw an inexpensive SSD in), don't need much as far as graphics performance, no dedicated gpu or anything really. I don't care much for like 2 in 1s, or Chromebooks (but hey if there is one with a good display in my price range I'll consider it). All I need/want is a nice display. I've been looking around on websites of local stores that sell notebooks but it's like all of the laptops I look at don't mention the display type in the specs! Some don't even mention the resolution! So it's difficult! Oh, and I guess another important thing is I'd have to buy locally (no credit card currently). Does anyone know that such a device might exist? In Canada? Like, at a local memory express, best buy, london drugs, staples, wherever else sells notebooks in Canada/Edmonton. I'd love you to bits if you could help me find something as described, or point me in the right direction at least (how to find one since I'm so picky about the display) Thanks

I literally said "wooowww" to myself out loud multiple times looking through this. I can't wait to see more! This is looking beauuuutiful.

I just got a new motherboard, an Asus H270-Plus, and I've noticed there are bright orangish yellow breathing LED's on the PCI-E slots (right by the tabs that seat it in). It's messing with my RGB vibes. I was wondering if there was any way to disable this? As they're not like RGB or anything. I poked around in the UEFI and in the Asus AI suite and didn't find anything. Am I looking in the wrong place? Anyone with the same motherboard or similar find a way to disable these lights?

It's an Asus "M32CD" Case, from an asus prebuilt. And gotcha, so I can get a splitter, and control both fans as if they were one fan? That works for me.

I think I need something lower-profile than that, it looks really tall, and this is a very small case.

I have two cooling-related questions! First, I have an additional fan in my system mounted on the side panel, but only have one fan header on the motherboard. Currently, it's just running via the PSU directly so I'm pretty sure that means 100% all the time in this case. I'd like to be able to control it. Would a splitter allow me to control both fans separately? Or would I need a hub? What would you guys recommend for something cheap? Second, I'd like to get a better-than-stock cooler for my 7700 (non-k so no overclocking) with a relatively small case. Nothing crazy, keep in mind I only have one cpu-fan header on the mobo and very limited air-flow in the case. Any recommendations for something cost-effective and small, but better than this stock cooler? See pic for the kind of space I'm working with.

I've been using my cm Storm Rapid-i with MX blues for well over a year now and I love it. I've gone through a handful of different switches before it and I think blues are my favourite.

18 votes and it's only me that doesn't own a printer. I'm mildly surprised actually.

I'm keeping it this way for the foreseeable future. I'm on disability income, so i can barely afford to eat/survive, this was the culmination of a birthday gift and selling a bunch of stuff I didn't use anymore when my previous computer bit the dust. The only plans are to eventually upgrade the CPU cooler to something low profile but better than stock, and get a fan splitter so I can control the added side fan (currently just powered directly via PSU) Thanks! And so you can see the photos right?

oh uh... they show up for me. lemme try and fix edit: now?

eh???

sorry just. Let me wipe that drool.
