Hi, I was looking in the internet for a Windows 10 Pro key for my new machine, I've found one on Allkeyshop for something like 4$ in OEM ediion. Are these resellers good ? The one who is selling has a gold reseller mention, is that a good sign ? Thanks !

Hi, I am from Canada and looking for a new laptop, I use it for medical research and learning home design with Revit and Autocad from time to time/ I would also like to learn a little bit of programming. Battery is not that important because I stay at home or office near power source, but I should be able to put it on a backpack/ I have no idea of budget that would be necessary, but I would like to get something solid and durable. Thanks !

Solved, I managed to get a 55$ refund after filling a forced selling report with a consumer protection agency. I will have to return my machine to repair center so they can remove key and OS from the machine.

I see that you are discussing something that I didn't ask for, I never used Windows since XP, instead using Debian. My question was too simple: is it possible to get refund on my windows licence, not if I can use WIndows 7 on my recent system...

Hi everyone I bought a Lenovo Thinkbook 14s (20RM0005US) here in Canada with Windows 10 Pro. I am a long date Linux user, son I didn't agree with the WIndows EULA and the computer turned off, I want to know if there is any process in Canada to remove these bundled OS and get licence price refunded. Have anyone tried that before ? Thanks in advance

I've found this one, what do you think ? https://www.amazon.ca/Dell-Inspiron-15-6-inch-i7-1065G7-Non-Touch/dp/B082XHCG6S/ @Lord Vile forget about MacBooks

What I'm actually looking for is a laptop with Core i7, 8/16g of RAM and some dedicated gpu for some lightweight machine learning, I would put 1000CAD exl tax.

I'm a web developper and need a new laptop for my work, I work with NodeJS and Python in the backend. I found this one, is it good for my usage ? https://www.newegg.ca/black-dell-inspiron-15-3583-mainstream/p/1TS-000A-070C4 Thanks !

I would certainly take the 2018 one if I can change the keyboard for free in Canada, w Is there anything else I should ask for before bidding for the laptop ?

What about these macs ? - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-Retina-15-Laptop-BTO-May-2015-2-8GHz-i7-16GB-512SSD-15-4/293468619046 - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/MacBook-Pro-15-Touch-Bar-Space-Gray-2016-2-6GHz-i7-16GB-256GB-Fair-Condition/274274323466 - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-15-inch-2018-i7-2-6GHz-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-AppleCare/193350460978

Well, I have a desktop computer but I'm going to move to a residence which is small enough to have a place for it. I can alternatively do remote desktop or use GCP for AI tasks. Can you suggest some specific models of MacBook Pro for my 1000CA$ budget ? Also, I need some good sellers where I can get it.

Any advice ?

I am planning to play with Arduino, logic IC and signal (de)modulation. Certainly I will take the Rigol, do you have some seller that ships worlwide from China ? I didn't find it on BG.

I returned the mac becauseit had an Intel GPU which was unusable for image processing and machine learning tasks. AMD is not optimized for AI right now too. I would like to stay on Windows systems.

The rigols are still expensive even after this long period of tome... do you have some good place to buy it from China ? My usage is pretty basic for a beginner: after a multimeter i would like to go with more advanced filters and IC circuits, so it's a hobby usage. Thanks !

I didn't like MacBooks, I returned one after using it for a few days in 2016. I found these laptops (you cn help with finding best prices somewhere else) : - https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-thinkpad-e590-15-6-8th-gen-intel-core-i7-16gb-ram-500gb-ssd-windows-10-pro/13487012 - https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-w541-intel-core-i7-quad-core-nvidia-k1100m-2-gb-16-gb-ram-480gb-ssd-win-10-1-year-warranty-refurbished/13028241 - https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenovo-thinkpad-e590-15-6-8th-gen-intel-core-i7-16gb-ram-256gb-ssd-windows-10-pro/13794957 - https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/lenvo-thinkpad-e15-intel-10th-gen-core-i7-10510u-15-6-fhd-16gb-ram-500gb-ssd-win10-pro/14428594 Thanks !

Hi I am looking for some cheap oscilloscope under 240$, there is no used ones in my country. I found these ones, the first one seems to be good for my usage, do you have any other proposition ? - https://www.banggood.com/Hantek-DSO5102P-USB-Digital-Storage-Oscilloscope-2Channels-100MHz-1GSas-p-1013032.html - https://www.banggood.com/UNI-T-UTD2102e-Digital-Oscilloscope-100MHz-with-USB-OTG-Logic-Analyzer-Bandwidth-2-Channels-500MsS-Storage-Portable-7-TFT-LCD-Scopemeter-p-1607103.html - https://www.banggood.com/Hantek-DSO5072P-Digital-Storage-Oscilloscope-70MHz-2Channels-1GSas-7inch-TFT-LCD-p-1039625.html Thanks !

I think CS programs are generally similar, isn't there any kind of machines that can suit needs of most of CS students ?

Hi, I will be taking computer engineering classes soon and need some good laptop for studies. We have courses on programming, wen developpement, advanced math and machine learning, I need something that could be usable for around 4 years on a 1000 CA$ budget. Any ideas ? Thanks !

For a such usage a chromebook is more preferable than those junk windows laptops, almost every walmart have one in store as SansVanic said. You have another solution is to get one of those used Thinkpad (Generally 2nd/3rd gen i5), they would perfectly suit for a such usage.

Thank you so much for help ! Are these ones good for me ?

Thanks !

Hi everyone! I'm actually a college student in Applied Mathematics and have (and interested too!) in Machine Learning, Data Science and other some AI related classes for the remaining 2 years (3 semesters and the summer). I am planning to set up a home server for the specified usage, I generally do experiments beyond what is suggested in class (Kaggle and other large scale projects), actually I use Google Cloud with Tesla K80 which is comfortable but not that reliable in term of data management. Here is what I suggest : - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 32GB DDR4 memory - 512GB SSD - Something around 4tb of spinning storage - RTX2070 I would like to get some more concrete idea of a good setup that will be persistant over the mentionned period and for a budget of 1500$CAN Thanks !
