    There are quieter switches, and Cherry switches are extremely underwhelming. Highly recommend against them.

    TotallyNotGigabit got a reaction from Morrie Sells Wigs in iPod Nano officially becomes obsolete.   
    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.

    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...

    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.

    Thanks for the website I don't know why I didn't come across it in my search. I live in Pennsylvania. As for the second reply I've searched eBay for that to make life simpler all I can find is the one for the touch screen one. The Bezel itself is already cracked.

    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.

    TotallyNotGigabit reacted to minibois in Will this fit my CPU   
    Yes. Probably.
     
    All LGA 115x and LGA 1200 use the same mounting system.
    However, I say probably because of two reasons:
    1. Physical restrictions: of course without knowing the details I don't know if your case is large enough to fit the cooler for example
    2. A company like Dell might just do something funky with the mounting system, causing it to not fit
     
    Keep in mind you'll need some new thermal paste.

    I have the D830 and D430. They both still work with good battery life left.
     
    Also, a palmtop that still sort of works.

    Or you buy a desktop PC that's been "refurbished" but in reality it's covered in Cheeto dust and blocked heatsinks with Fortnite stickers all over it and has loose mounts and half-inserted RAM.

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

    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.

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