I’m looking to get a gmmk, and I’m wanting the quietest switch available. Any advice?

Cherry's website is a good place to start finding which ones you want. The MX Black Silent and Red Silent are the quietest.

You can go through the sounds of these and they give you info about them. What's your budget?

Posted as a status but forgot to show here. Yay.

The iPod Nano 7th generation becomes obsolete on Apple's list of vintage and obsolete products. This is the list of devices who are and are not available after five years of the release date.  The 7th generation of the iPod Nano was released in 2012 and was last of the iPod Nanos.

Thoughts are well it was a matter of time and I can't believe there are even still iPods on the shelves.

It's listed under vintage rather than obsolete in this list but for how long I'm not sure:

I assume obsolete to Apple simply means no more parts will be made, and no support other than community support. And the reliance to go second hand parts for repair until they're unfixable. Vintage means its old, sure, but they'll still receive hardware service in the Apple retail stores.

The article seems to have it wrong, here, just a bit. It's not considered obsolete yet. Silly wording on Independent's part.

so should i buy a cable that is for laptop only?

It's possible that the charger you're trying isn't providing enough amp to charge the laptop. Or it's dependent on the charger that came with the laptop. I think 2A is minimum from other posts on the web...

the brick says, "100-240v output:12v 2a",

and the phone carger says "100-240v output: 12v 1500ma"

Which laptop is this you got?

Just now, Daniel H B said:

i know it lacks a brick, but why shoud it require the brick to charge

 

Compare the voltages and amperage specs?

Have you ever gone on a computer website and cranked everything in the configurator? Well we did, and then asked Dell to send it to us.

Eurocom out of the question for the beefiest config... ?

L63568-001: LCD RAW PNL 15.6'INCH HD BV SVA 220 NB

L63608-001: LCD BEZEL

I bought a replacement screen from Laptopscreen.com to replace an LCD panel. They should have the LCD you'll want to get. I was gonna suggest HP Partsurfer to get the replacement bezel but they have it as "N/A". Where do you live?

Gaben what did you say here? https://youtu.be/BEqSHwk93lE?t=193

"It's based on VIA's Ice-seya core" ? o_o

I can't find a core that sounds like the one you mentioned here in this list... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VIA_microprocessor_cores

Oh boy!

More HP junk! Can't wait to see that in the discard pile on the local Goodwill.

But the business line of HPs aren't that bad...

I think the graphics are good, since the computer starts normally and goes to Windows. Really, one of my suspicions is the screen itself, the problem is that it doesn't even work with the external monitor. Yes, there is such a key, it is the F5, I already pressed it and it remains the same.

Try shining a light on the screen to see if there is something being shown? If you have a torch/flashlight on your phone you could try that.

I tried and entered the BIOS, and I really know that I am in the BIOS (pressing F10 I can see that the computer restarts, since the function of the f10 on my pc is this) the problem is that I don't see anything, even entering the BIOS

Is there a function key to change the output? The display or graphics might be gone.

Nokia E90 Communicator from 2007 or 2008. There was another revision to fix the apparent keyboard scratches or scuffs on the inner panel. This might be the newer one due to the keypad being flatter. There was the red version, the Mocha (this one) and black. The black one was the revised one but they did it to these versions too.

• Buying new NVidia MXM GPU for Zbook (yes, a laptop, WX4150 sorta worked but isn't providing native fan control)
• New SSD for Zbook (from 250GB to 500GB)
• New ODD hard drive caddy for Zbook (another SSD maybe)
• Replacing parent's desktop monitor for a better one from my room
• Organising photo data on my external drive
• Cleaning my desk, brother's desk, and parent's desk.
• Cleaning the computers, giving them a dusting, including mine.
• Testing if the WX4150 GPU works in my old MSI GT640 (if it does then great, I might repurpose the MSI as some transcoding server or something)
• Cable management for parent's desk and my brother's desk

That's kind of all for me.

I’m running an i9 10850k series. 

Run a GPU-Z for us.

I don't use a disc drive that much. I'm happy to sacrifice that. What I don't like seeing is Ethernet disappearing, USB-A disappearing, HDMI or DisplayPort disappearing and the like. Gonna have to make the most of it while they last. And it's surprising to me that in my opinion, going ball grid array yields no difference in reliability other than complication if something is to go wrong with the chip. Makes servicing difficult. It would be nice to see the socket returning to laptops.

It should fit fine as others said.

But should we be worried?

If I had $150 to spend I'd spend it on an MXM Nvidia Quadro M2000M or M1200M for my Zbook, and if I have left over some thermal pads and new thermal paste to go with it.

I just want my 4GB of VRAM.

Opened it up don’t know how to take it out lol

You have an option between adding more RAM with your current module. Or both with an upgrade to RAM capacity and be in dual channel (which I'd go for). For the HDD, swap it out for an Crucial MX500 or a Samsung EVO SSD. You'll have to clone or fresh install when you do though.

Those two metal latches on the sides of the RAM can be gently pulled apart to release the module. And the HDD will be in a caddy you'd have to install on the new drive.

Best thing is to open up the laptop and have a look at it ?

Yeah. Definitely. Hope you got a kit of screws to open the maintenance cover.

It's not a name brand I am familiar with

PCSpecialist is like Sager or XoticPC, but they sell custom laptops for the UK market.

I have no idea where to look and what to look for any advice ie links to pages if possible? Fed up of this slow ass machine lol

There should be a model number under it. Note it down and look it up for a guide on how to do it. My brother has a PCSpecialist laptop and upgrading his machine wasn't difficult, there's a maintenance hatch to remove to get to it.

Swap the HDD out for a nice SSD. Bump the RAM to 8GB or 16GB. Your machine will FLY after that.
