  1. I was posting in the r/SAL discord server and they warned me about buying anything XPS because of vague "issues." I really like the XPS 13 DE however. Does anyone know what issues there are with them or had experience with them?
  2. Jesus... You can get 100 gigs as an option?
  3. Ive been looking for a good keyboard with cherry switches for not very much money. Right now I'm looking at this one. Any other suggestions?
  4. CS750M got on 2017 black friday ive got an msi z370-a pro motherboard 8600k and a 1060 nothing, I’ve already gotten the RMA sorted out. It’s being shipped back rn.
  5. A while back my power supply died, computer just shut off and wouldn’t start again. I am VERY worried that it kamikazied my motherboard, or something else. How likely is it that would happen, and if it did, how do I diagnose what is broken
  6. Thanks for this, talked the guy up to giving me a TX750M
  7. So recently my CS750M PSU died, which is their mid tier power supply, and now they are offering to replace it with their CX750M, which is their entry level power supply. They don’t make the one I have any more. What should I do?
  8. First off, I can't reinstall windows for internet reasons. Every time I try and update windows, it fails to install twice. I did some really long think I found in a google forum, but it ended up not fixing my issue, ive done sfc, and tons of other things short of using a restore point, which the last working one is ~4 months old. Help.
  9. So would you recommend waiting a year or two to buy a laptop, and just put up with a chromebook for school and not having a laptop for home use?
  10. I really like the keyboards and screen on the surface - Alex agrees with me on the keyboard. 1700 USD Whatever would be the minimum recommended for college - probably 6 or 7 hours. I like lighter laptops, but as long as it is under 4 pounds it should be fine. 13 inch is preferable, but I don't really mind. I do not care if the RAM is soldered. I also plan on using this laptop for watching netflix and youtube a bunch, so I would like something with good colors, and just makes you want to look at it. That is my main issue with business laptops, they typically do not have great screens.
  11. I'm not really too sure about what classes I'm going to be taking - but I do not think I'll be doing anything too intensive - my brother is doing fine with a 13' 2013 MBA. My budget is flexible, but ~1700 is the VERY most I'm willing to spend. Right now my top choice is the SL2, but I might wait for the SL3. I am also looking at a macbook - don't know which, don't like their keyboards, but making ios apps would be cool, I have an iPhone and Apple watch. Lenovo x390 LG gram kinda the matebook X - don't want to deal with their customer service My requirements Good battery life - enough Decent keyboard - this is where the mac loses points, but I'm willing to tolerate it. Good screen - where the Lenovo loses points Decent price - I don't particularly want to spend a ton of money, but can if I need to. Reliability - I want to use this laptop for at least 4 years, the first two will be lighter usage, I am using it for my last 2 years of high school, will probably get a new laptop for my last two years of college.
  12. the 3 gig card and 1660 is a HUGE difference. Get an RX 590 or 1660.
