  1. Hi there, I'm a student in England, going into my first year of 6th form (sorry, I don't know what the equivalents are across the world), and I'm looking for an ultralight, extremely portable, snappy laptop that I can carry around in my rucksack. The issue with this is that my budget is not massive, and I don't know too much of what to look for in the laptop space nowadays as it's been quite a lot of time since I have shopped around for one. I have no issues buying off a second hand site like Ebay, and even though I built a windows PC, and have a Samsung phone; I really like the idea of a Macbook Air. TLDR: Student, looking for an ultralight laptop, can be second hand, looking for reccomendations. Thank you very much!
  2. Budget (including currency): Cheap but not to the point I have to compromise performance Country: GB Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Will be used for very light gaming at best, and building for a programmer/web developer/marketing analyst as he is tired of using laptops as his daily drivers. Hi All, I've been asked to build a PC for a guy I work with. We're in the web design, programming, SEO and marketing business so it doesn't need to be anything flashy or have insane graphics. I've built PCs for people in the recent past (in the last year or so), but my rig and theirs have been predominantly gaming based, where this system doesn't need to power through games at insane frame rates. So my question is, are there any glaring issues with this build as it stands? What components would you change? AMD Ryzen 5 3400G 3.7GHz 4 Core MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX Be Quiet! System Power 9 500W 80+ Bronze PSU Samsung 860 QVO 1TB 2.5" SATA III SSD NZXT H510 Mid Tower Gaming Case Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 I was toying with the idea of swapping the CPU to a 3600x and putting in an xfx 570 but I don't know if its worth the price increase... as I say price isn't too much of an issue but something like this shouldn't bee too expensive really. Cheers, Matt
  3. Ugh, this is why I will always build if I can afford to
  4. Okay sorry, I assumed that Dell would have used standard small form factor ish psus
  5. There are plenty of SFX PSUs that I can find that I think matches what you want? EG: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-evga-supernova-550gm-fully-modular-80-plus-gold-single-rail-458a-92mm-fan-sfx-psu (£99.98) https://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-silverstone-st45sf-v30-80-plus-bronze-fully-wired-single-rail-375a-plus12v-1x-92mm-fan-atx-psu (£60)
  6. Does the problem come back after reboot? Could be a stuck process that just needs a reset to recover
  7. Okay no worries, thank you very much for helping and clarifying earlier
  8. I did exactly that. Then I left DOCP on and tried at 2666MHz and it booted With SOC on auto and frequency at 2933MHz w/ DOCP it won't boot
  9. Still just boot looping, then resetting
