I would recommend the Acer KG251QD. It is a 1080p 240 Hz monitor for under 400 AUD.

I'm not sure if having a higher refresh rate is really needed cause I won't be gaming on it anyways.

Hi, I'm currently using a laptop with:

i7-8550U

16GB RAM

HDMI 1.4

USB C

https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-2560x1440-PD2700Q-Animation-Flicker-Free/dp/B01K1INYWG?th=1

I was thinking of getting this monitor for my external monitor.

Would it lag a lot? Or would it be fine? I heard that HDMI 1.4 supports 1440p, so that's not my concern.

Or is there any recommendations of a good monitor under $600~$700?

I'll be using it for mostly coding and surfing the web + watching movies.

The reason I picked BenQ is because I just love the colors on it.

I made up my mind I'll go for the ultrawide

Hi I'm thinking of getting an external monitor for my 15.6" laptop.

I won't be playing any games on it and I'll be using it for manily programming and university work.

Would it be better to use a 34" Ultrawide monitor for my laptop and optional dual monitor setup with my laptop

OR

get a 1440p 27"widescreen monitor and have a dual monitor setup w/ my laptop?

Thanks in advance.

I guess I'll wait a bit longer

I'm planning on buying a laptop for going back to school (which starts on March). I was thinking of getting the xps 15 9560 (i7 7700HQ, 16GB ram, 512 ssd, 15" FHD) and there are a couple of options.

1. Ask someone to buy the laptop from dell US and bring it to where I live.

• this option is 333 dollars cheaper
• if bad QC happens I can't return the product or check to see if there are any issues with the laptop, because the person I'm asking the favor doesn't know much about computers.

2. Buy the laptop from where I live right now.

• buying it from the official website but it is more expensive.
• if bad QC happens I could return the product and order new ones until I get a decent one

3. Buy a new laptop after CES 2018.

• hopefully a new laptop that suits my needs comes out.
• maybe a coffee lake i7 HQ processor?

Thanks guys I didn't think of replacing the HDD with the SSD. The Thinkpad will be a good option here.

Hi I'm trying to get a laptop for my mother within the price range of $350~$450 (cheaper is fine too).

She uses the laptop for basic internet browsing and some word documents.

She doesn't carry around the laptop a lot, so portability and design is not what I'm looking for.

And no chromebooks.

It just need to be a decent laptop which she can use for a long time and she doesn't need a lot of storage, so SSD is a must here.

If you guys have any recommendations it'll be helpful if you guys could help.

Thanks

Thanks guys I'll try tht out and see if it works. It's an iso so thts probably the reason why

When you say the system won't boot up to the installation, what are you referring to? Does the system give you an option to "press any key to boot from CD"?  

The system doesn't show "press any key to boot from CD" and only shows "press f2 or DEL" to go to BIOS and in the bios, the CD shows up on the screen, but it isn't recognized. But seeing that booting from the other HDD doesn't work as well, I'm not sure what the problem is.

I was building a new pc and everything seemed to be alright, but then when I tried to install windows to it, the system won't boot up to the installation.

Then so I tried to troubleshoot and when I plugged in an old hard drive to see if there is any problem, but then at the boot up screen, the blue screen popped up for like a sec and turned off.

I don't know how to fix this problem.

Help!

Windows 7 did it too so there's no way to fix it?

There's not much you could do about it from what I know of. I would just leave the lid open I guess?

So I shut my laptop lid and according to windows I'm still connected to my internet router. It fails to load webpages. Not even google will load when my laptop lid is shut. Open it, works like it should. I am HDMI this to a tv, and its getting really annoying. I have it set on maximum power settings when plugged in and to not go to sleep (do nothing). Still nothing. Went into the adapter settings and unchecked the box that says "computer can kill connection to save power" still acting like its on. Advice?

If you did what the guy above said and still doesn't work, in the worst case scenario possibly it could be a hardware problem because a lot of laptops have their wireless connection cables running through the part which connects the monitor and the bottom half and stops the internet from working perhaps? But it's probably a software issue.

Thanks   I was thinking of using the ssd as a boot drive and since there is the old hdd I could possibly use that if it's in ok condition

I'll try to mix all of you guys' recommendations

Trying to build a budget build pc for approximately from $400 ~ $500 ish

The build is for some (not heavy, just a bit) video editing/rendering with just basic daily use, games won't be played on this computer as this is for someone else to use at their home.

What will be the best build for the budget?

This is what I come up with so far.

My friends are planning on playing Warcraft 3 (mostly user map games) and reminded me of the old times, with all these new high res games, it's good to go back and play some old games.

Anyone else still play old games such as Warcraft 3 or Starcraft Brood War etc etc

you already receive all the input, the problem is that you don't store it.

you could have an array of strings (that is, a matrix of characters), so that you can keep adding strings to the list.

or you could just have a single very long "result" string, and every time you read a line shorter than 32 chars you append it to the end of this result string

you will need to understand how strings and arrays work if you don't already

ahhh I see thanks a lot. I mean it

I'll try to figure out how string and arrays work more, cause it seems like i'm not understanding it much hehehe

the program only writes the last string because everytime you find a string shorter than 32, you write it to 'length' overwriting what was already there

hmm.. then what method is possible to receive all the input, then store all the lines that are shorter than 32? Do I have to change the getline function? I'm a bit confused

The input will be made by manually typing them

The problem I am trying to solve is to create a program which prints all lines that has a length less than 32. If EOF is inputted, the program will end.

Here is the program I wrote so far.

The problem I am having is that when I tried to solve it in a different way, the program only printed the line which was last inputted. And now this code, is a bit weird.

I am trying to allow all the inputs to be made such as

i.e.:

asdfjlaksj

asldfjalsdjkf

asdfjklasjdfkalsdjfalsjdfjaksdfljasldfjajsdfasdfadfasdfasdfasfa

asjdfkl

and that input should print:

asdfjlaksj

asldfjalsdjkf

asjdfkl

because the 3rd line is > 32.

I would be happy if you guys help me out. I have been struggling on this problem for like 2 hours. Lol

#include <stdio.h>#define MAXLINE 1000int getline(char line[], int maxline);void copy(char to[], char from[]);main(){	int len;	char line[MAXLINE];	char length[MAXLINE];	while ((len = getline(line, MAXLINE)) > 0)	if (len < 32){		copy(length, line);	}	printf("%s\n", length);	return 0;}int getline(char s[], int lim){	int c, i;	for (i = 0; i < lim - 1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF; ++i)		s[i] = c;	if (c == 'EOF') {		s[i] = c;		++i;	}	s[i] = '\0';	return i;}void copy(char to[], char from[]){	int i;	i = 0;	while ((to[i] = from[i]) != '\0')		++i;}

I want suggestions on how I could sell my idea

I have recently come up with a product idea, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't have the professional knowledge to make the product myself.

I would like to hear your recommendations.

Thank you

It's working perfectly fine for me.

Btw can u guys suggest some good games I could play?

Thanks for the awesome replies guys I bought the xbox one controller and I say it is worth it just as u guys said!

I'm wondering if I should buy a xbox one controller to play games on my computer such as fifa and assassin's creed, etc.

Is there anyone who can share their experience?

Is it worth the purchase?
