  1. Hi, so I need to expand my storage with 2TB drive and I can't seem to decide which is better. Should I just get an SSD for around 172-196€ (depending on brand) or should I get Toshibas P300 2TB HDD (new) for 48€ and then in a few years (when/if) SSD's get cheaper, get an SSD for ~130€? Will SSD's get that much cheaper? If they will, then I would rather pick an HDD now just to have the extra storage in the future. I already have 1TB SSD which is not enough, because I have quite a few games (that are played less often, so I would be fine with storing them in HDD and having slower load times) which are 100gb+ each, I also have my phone backups which eats up space. If I should buy an SSD, which one should I pick (do they all have DRAM?): Mushkin Source 2TB sata - 172€ Kingston NV1 2TB m.2 - 180€ Crucial BX500 2TB sata - 186€ Samsung 860 QVO 2TB sata - 193€ Samsung 870 QVO 2TB sata - 196€
  2. So I checked it. Found 0 errors with rams and SSD health is "good".
  3. Ok I will scan/check the SSD and RAM with some tool, I hope it will atleast launch those programs...
  4. Hello, so my friend brought me her a laptop so I could add ram (4gb+4gb) and rewrite Windows. Also, she had a problem with Windows where it wouldn't open some .exe files. So I added the ram, then formatted the disk and did a fresh install of Windows. This is where the problems begin. About 80-90% of installers for example, teamviewer, zoom, utorrent and other programs that install without a single problem on other computers won't open or show NSIS error or some kind of other launch failed error or just show up and immediately close (same problem as my friend previously had). Windows (10) is 64bit, installers too. I tried these things (in sequence from simpliest to more complicated): 1. Run as administrator 2. Troubleshoot (shows that file is incompactible) 3. Disable firewall and antivirus 4. Run through CMD 5. Regedit 6. Safe mode 7. Another fresh install of Windows 8. Check through bios (maybe I didn't notice the setting) 9. Update Windows, add drivers NOTHING helped at all. Laptop is Lenovo L460. If you think that my Windows copy is bad, well you're wrong, used the same one on all other computers and works perfectly fine. Any ideas?
  5. 14", no numpad and I could find many other reasons why not to buy this laptop.
  6. How the f can I get all the models possible? There will be thousands of them. New requirements. All of the above requirements and numpad, I tested out with the person buying it, didn't like that there's no numpad on that dell. Also, the dell was HEAVY. Need to drop that weight to like 1,6-1,7kg if possible, 2,1kg is too much. Also, forgot about SSD, it's a must, HDD sucks af.
  7. http://shopdell.lt/Dell-XPS-15-9570-15F708256N1050T4W?search=xps&page=2 Thank you, found the one.
  8. Hello, I need a laptop. Budget 2200€. It's gonna be used for work, traveling, no streaming, no gaming, no editing. My location is Lithuania. Popular shops: http://www.skytech.lt/ ; https://pigu.lt/lt/ Requirements: Light. Thin. 15,6" screen. Matte screen (this is really important). Not MacBook. Good battery life (would like atleast 7-8h lasting when using outlook, googling and just doing basic stuff, excel and etc.) The lighter, the thinner, the longer lasting battery = better
  9. And if the bios are fckd and I can't fix it, I can just send the card to seller and get my money back.
  10. It has warranty and it's only 90€+shipping so it's a REALLY good deal, atleast here, because they're sold for 150-200€ (used) here.
  11. Hello, I've got a good deal on rx 570 used for 5 months, it was used for mining ofcourse. I asked about the temps and fan speed - 60-62C° ~60-75%. I consider it really not bad. It's a strix version, so even better. My problem is that the seller knows 0 about games and informed me, that the gpu has "mining bios" and he sold one guy this gpu and he tried to install regular drivers (not bios) and he didn't suceed, I wonder, is that because of bios? Can I get the normal bios and is it hard to change the bios? Thanks for the answers!
  12. I mean, the slimmer and the less weight is better. I checked out Dell XPS 15, but it still weights like 2,2kg. I won't use this laptop, I'm choosing this laptop for my mom, she likes not a brick computer types, the better battery, the less weight and the slimmer = the better. The budget is 2200€ TOP.
  13. Hello! I found an craigslist listing for "dead gpu's for cheap", each gpu costs 5€, no matter if it's 680 or a 460. It says "the fans are spinning". Is it worth getting gtx 680 or 7870 and try to use other cables to monitors, heat it up with heat gun or put it in a oven? I would be happy if the gpu would work like atleast 2 months.
  14. Hi, I need a laptop JUST for work, no gaming at all, no editing, no streaming, nothing. Budget - 2200€. Just work. It needs to be: Light. Thin. ATLEAST 15,6" screen. Matte screen. Not macbook. Thanks for the help!
