What brand and model of laptop do you have? I work at an electronics repair shop and have seen this happen before so I may be able to help you out.

Hello, I am wanting to build a Plex, storage, and dedicated game server all in one tower. I am wanting to use Unraid for nas functionality/redundancy with the Plex docker and Windows 10 in a vm for running various game servers. I know how Unraid works because I have used it for a different project. I would like to know what ya'll think about it and if ya'll have any recommendations for different software and/or hardware. Here is what I am currently looking at on the hardware side of things.

I would prefer it to be a convertible that won't be very bulky and can use an active stylus that works well. Another option Would be a traditional laptop with a tablet like the iPad with the Apple Pencil. Would prefer to have everything in one device though.

I was doing more research on what I need and hardware wise, I'm going to need an i7 8650u, MX150, and 16GB of RAM

Alright, I would like at least 5 hours.

Really, doesn't windows turn off the dGPU when it isn't in use?

I live in the US, with a budget of $3,000, want something under 5 lbs, would prefer a battery life of roughly 10 hours for light loads; web browsing, taking notes word processing, etc. As well as a 15" screen. I will also be using CAD software. I have a beefy desktop and I am not sure whether I will need to be able to run cad/simulation software outside of the classroom.

I currently have a desktop with specifications as follows: Intel Core i7 8700k 16GB 2400Mhz RAM RTX 2070 2TB Samsung 960 Evo I would like to get a 2-in-1 laptop or laptop + tablet for my engineering college courses at Texas A&M University coming up this fall (I will be graduating high school in May of this year) and am not sure what I'm going to need in terms of compute power and since I have a pretty beefy desktop, I am not sure whether or not I will need a powerful laptop as well. I would like to take digital notes to be much more organized and so I can carry less as I will be walking/biking around campus but am not sure what I should get. I have been looking into the Surface Book 2 but have heard some bad things about the pen as well as considering using a traditional laptop with a iPad and a Apple Pencil because I heard that the Apple Pencil and iPad are second to none when it comes to digital note taking (besides Wacom equipment obviously)

I have a Mac Mini that I use for music production and a Windows PC that I use for gaming, I have a 1440p 144hz monitor and a 4k 60z monitor and I would like to use a kvm switch to switch between my gaming pc and my mac but am unable to find a compelling option that had support for two displayport at a time output.
