So I just picked up an MSI Prestige 15 laptop and wanted to undervolt it via BIOS. I booted into the BIOS and used the key combination to unlock advanced settings but I can't seen to find the options to set an offset. Maybe I'm just blind, but does anyone where this setting is?

Pretty close! lol I'll take a look. Is the QC better with these laptops? What's your experience with them? I heard the XPS line is good IF you get one that's well built so it seems like Dell's QC is the big issue with this line.

Interesting, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I've been looking for the perfect laptop for a while now but every time I think I found something there always a catch. I was originally looking at a Dell XPS 13 because they're pumped so much by reviewers and tech sites. After doing a little digging it seems that they suffer from major QC issues and their customer support is gutter trash. I looked into Lenovo but none of their laptops come with aluminum frames which is something I was looking for. My sister has 2 work HP laptops that have been very problematic so I passed on those as well. Eventually I said screw it and picked up a 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch but now it looks like Apple will switch to ARM in the next few years which means developers will likely drop support ASAP like they did when Apple transitioned from PPC to Intel. I've spent so much time looking for something that I really wanted to keep the MacBook but I can't justify spending $2400 CAD for a laptop might have its lifespan cut short because of ARM. Does anyone have any suggestions for a 13-15 inch laptop with excellent build quality, a 10th gen i5/i7, and 16GB of RAM for $2500 CAD MAX? I want to keep this for the next 7 years.

Agree, but I bent right over and got a 2020 13 inch pro 10th gen.

I could, I would just be really really bitter if my $4k laptop stopped being supported early. It might be unlikely but they did this once before so who knows.

In the market for a laptop and decided I wanted to get another Macbook since I had a good experience with my last one. After doing some digging, it looks like the 2016-2019 models had the infamous "butterfly keyboard" that's prone to breaking so my options are to buy a brand new one for a ridiculous amount of money (and possibly lose support early if apple handles the ARM move like they handled the switch from PPC to Intel), or grab a 2015 since they came with the old style keyboards. I've checked around and some reputable mac resellers have them listed from $1200 USD and up which seems like a lot for a 5 year old machine, especially when these same resellers are selling 2018 models for just a few hundred more. What kind of price range should I try and find for a base model 15 inch 2015 mbp?

I totally forgot about the surface laptop 3! I think I'm going for it.

Yeah I had MacBook for years with no issues and that was my second option. I'm just worried about their switch to ARM next year and how older machines will be handled.

Just curious about the build quality on the Dell XPS line? I was about to pull the trigger on a 13 but I'm hearing that their quality control is hit or miss. If anyone here has had an XPS for more than a few years, how is it holding up?

CAD or USD?

Really out of the loop with prices but I was looking to sell my 2 year old desktop with these specs: CPU: 8700K Cooler: Cryorig R1 Universal Board: Aorus Gaming 5 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 RAM: G.Skill RipJaws DDR4 3000 PSU: Corsair RM650i Storage: 1x Samsung 850 evo 256GB / 1x Samsung 850 evo 500GB Case: Corsair Crystal 460X

You're right, but why shut down over sleep?

This I did not know, awesome! Now if only I can figure out why VRVOUT isn't displayed on my main machine I'd be a happy camper.

I second this recommendation. It also provides a cubic ass-load of other stats and you can display your temps in the system tray.
