Hey guys, for a bit of context, I am a casual gamer who used to play 2 to 3 times per week casual egames and AAA on a Lenovo legion I5. Nowadays I play mainly on consoles so my laptop primary use is mainly for working (office, light programming, emailing) and light gaming on the go when traveling. It's a big and heavy laptop so I'm selling it in order to get something more optimize for traveling (my back would appreciate). Which options are available that are slim/light that also pack a punch for casual gaming (Ready or Not, The finals, forza motorsport). My budget is up to 2000$. I'm looking for that bang for the buck or price/value ratio. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Im looking for something on the slim and portable side of things as this is for school. But i don't mind anything as long as it is in my budget. -
I just saw this video uploaded by DIY Perks today in which he makes a PS5 Slim, and I wanted to share it with you gamers because it's just amazing. In the video he shows the prosses of how he manufactures the case and custom water block as well as the temperatures he has recorded.

I'm looking for a slim case into which I can move my build. I'm trying to transport my computer and Dell S2719DGF in one suitcase with plenty of padding. Most ITX cases don't work for me as they're too thick to fit into a suitcase along with my monitor. I'm looking for a case similar to the Fractal Node 202, but just a few millimeters thicker to fit the NH-L9x65. The cooling performance of the NH-L9i doesn't seem good enough, and reviews warn of poor clearances and mounting hardware for the Silverstone Tek AR06. I'd like to keep my 10600K, Windforce 1660 Ti, and 3.5" HDD. Bonus if it fits an ATX PSU. I'm looking for a maximum total case thickness of 5". I don't want to spend more than $160 if it does fit an ATX PSU, but if there is nothing out there, recommendations would be welcome regardless. -
I have this keyboard I love from when I bought my first PC but it's a German keyboard and since I mostly write in English nowadays, I'd love to buy a similar keyboard that has an English key set. What I love about this keyboard: keys are slim but still tactile - there's a closeup in the pictures I uploaded (for example mac keyboard keys are too slim for my taste) key resistance exists but it's quite low keys are rounded off on each side, so it's rare that a finger hits a key in a way that the key or the finger would get stuck base is heavy enough and has rubber inlets, so that the keyboard doesn't scoot around The closest I have been able to find, is this keyboard for visually impaired people which seems to have other issues (too light, sticky keys, and the color is maybe not my favorite). So if anyone has any recommendations for such a keyboard with an English key set, you'd make me so very happy!

rumor Rumored Specs for Apple's ARM Based MacBooks have "Leaked".
WelshDdraig posted a topic in Tech News
A user on twitter by the username of Apple Lab has apparently gotten their hands on the rumored upcoming specifications for the new MacBooks with the first generation of Apple ARM based Silicon (In their Laptop and possibly desktops line). There is no given evidence that these leaked specifcations are true, but there is also no evidence disproving them - and considering the specifications seem reasonable, I would think they might be pretty accurate. The rumored specs are for a new MacBook - Not a MacBook Pro - so like the 12" MacBook from 2016, in-fact, that's what this is expected to be like, given the expected 12" display. List of Specs taken from Apple Lab's tweet: ARM MacBook info: SoC: A14X RAM: 8GB, 16GB Storage: 256GB,512GB (SSD) Battery life: 15hr~20hr Port: single USB-C Display: 12” (Retina Display) Camera: 720p (FaceTime HD) Weight: lighter than 1Kg Price: $799 (by Apple Lab's "Source") So yes, this is basically a new 2016-type MacBook for 2020 but with Apple Silicon. A good move I think considering that is a great platform to test this on. It will be small, lightweight and not super powerful - much like the 2016 MacBook. A downside I can see is the single USB-C (No word if it is Thunderbolt, much like Apple has reportedly committed to bringing to their ARM based Macs). Article from @Mario5 in the spoiler to keep this article clean-ish (format wise) My thoughts Again, a downside I can see - if these rumored specs are to be believed, is the single USB-C (unconfirmed if Thunderbolt or not). Will it have a headphone jack? How will this compete with other options in Apple's line up - looking at the iPad Pro (even though they are running different operating systems). And if the price is to be believed, for a little more, you could get the MacBook Air (Sure it maybe a little heavier and a dual-core at base, but you get the 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports - for external expansion). Will the new MacBook have butterfly switches or the new scissor switches? I'm personally not sold on ARM as a desktop/laptop chip at the moment, but if anyone can push the industry in that direction, I'm sorry,but Apple will be the one to do that. So only time will see. Please leave your thoughts down below Sources: Source #1: Twitter (@ aaple_lab ) Source #2: Overclock3D: https://www.overclock3d.net/news/systems/specs_for_apple_s_first_apple_silicon_macbook_have_leaked/1 -
Hello all! My name is Daniel and my PS4 Slim’s optical drive is dead. It all happened a few days ago. I was watching Da Ali G show on DVD with my PS4 Slim. While watching the second episode, the video and audio suddenly paused. At the time I thought the disc was dirty or scratched at that point and figured normal DVD playback problems. I gave it a few minutes, but no change. While the console still responded to controller input, the video would not resume. I could not hear any noises from the optical drive. I tried seeking, pressing play/pause, and fast forwarding, but no change from the paused video. Suddenly, the screen went black and the console rebooted. After logging back in, I tried reopening the DVD Player application, but was greeted with an unfamiliar error message. In short, it stated the disc was not the correct region for the console. Now, I am fully versed in the different disc regions for DVD and Bluray. This disc was region 1 only, and can play in my other DVD players around the house. I tried to eject the disc. I pushed the eject button, which gave one beep, but nothing happened. No sounds from the optical drive and my DVD did not budge. This has never happened to me before. I tried a software eject, which also did not work. In the end, I broke out the my precision set and manually ejected my DVD. After removing the disc, I powered off the PS4 Slim and turned it back on. I tried putting a PS4 game into the drive, but the system would not accept the disc. I tried placing it all the way into the slot, but the ODD would not do anything to suck it in. It behaved like it had no power at all. I pressed the eject button, and it responded with the normal quick succession of beeps that indicate the drive is empty. My next course of action was a software update. My console is running software version 7.50, and it had an update to 7.51. I tried updating the system, but I hit a snag: error code SU-42118-6. I had to plug in my controller to the console in order to navigate through the error message. I have not tried a USB update yet, as I wanted to hear from you all about what I should do next. That where it stands right now, I am stuck with a PS4 Slim Digital Edition, which has forced me to break out my PS3 Slim to play games and watch movies. I just want to fix my PS4 Slim so I can finish Red Dead Redemption 2. Some background info, this was the first time I used the console since February. I am a physical media person, so 95% of my library is physical PS4 games. I am an A+ licensed computer technician, so feel free to speak in technical jargon, I will understand ;).

I'm looking for any recommendations for a mini itx case that fits a single slot GPU and won't completely break the bank. I'm thinking of upgrading my 5(ish) year old PC later in the year, and am planning to repurpose some of the old parts to make a pc just for emulating my 360. I love my xbox but it makes an unholy amount of noise and is quite big and heavy so I'd really like to be able to play my 360 games without having to wear ear defenders. also I feel it would be a fun project and a good use of still working old parts. However I dont want to build it all into a massive case which is bigger and heavier than the 360 itself, I'd like something the same size or ideally smaller. Was wondering if anyone could recommend some cases - only specifications are that it can take a single slot expansion card, isn't 100s of pounds like some of the Streacom pcs and as mentioned already is ideally smaller than an Xbox 360 (the smaller the better). I'm in the UK so ideally it'd be available here as I'd rather not ship from the US but all reccomendations welcome! Cheers!

I'm looking for a slim "stealth" (as little bling such as window, lights, logos etc. as possible) case: Fits a mini-ITX board (or up to ATX if not compromising height/depth more than necessary). Fits a regular size ATX PSU (I have a Corsair HX1200i which I'm not interested in replacing). Fits large size graphics cards such as ASUS ROG STRIX 1080 (~15x30x4 cm). Accomodates decent airflow for low noise build. Has no drive bays. So far my best bet is BitFenix Pandora Core (16 cm wide). It's not perfect, but almost there: Not as stealth as I'd prefer (I'm a big fan of Fractal Design Define Nano S, but it's way too wide). A bit of wasted space for water cooling in the front. Hard to find a retailer that sells the windowless version at my location. Missing specs for graphics card width and PSU length. What are your recommendations?

usb adapter Slim USB 3.0 Type A to Type C adapter
MisterTechnik posted a topic in General Discussion
In today's LTT Video I saw an adapter like the one in the picture. I found it so cool, that I started thinking about, is there is something like this but with USB 3, the only thing I found was a USB 3 stick that's kinda slim, but not an type a port to type c adapter. So now the question, is there something like this?

Hello there! I’m planning out a ITX build in the ghost s1 and I was looking for a (slim) cooler that could effectively cool the Ryzen 3900x (105w TDP). Does anyone have any recommendations?
-
Looking for the laptop used in the recent LTT video about the water cooled server, the one that they used around the 10 minute mark. I'm intrigued by the aesthetics of the laptop. Hope someone can answer. Thanks!

about 3 months ago I decided to turn my PC from a shitty ass nettop to a gaming rig with a Pentium gold G5600 and a gt 1030 with 8 GB DDR4/2GB GDDR5 RAM. the reason for the upgrade was that enough was enough with the planned obsolescence bullshit that companies do to make more money and a painfully slow Pentium j3710. I had to do a bit of case modding with buttons from an old tower my cousin gave me. there is the pic before the case mod. plus by the way it also has a red case fan to make it look more gamer-oriented. my youtube channel is here for my gaming vids. -link removed-

I have an xbox 360 laying around that i mostly use for watching movies. I really want to turn it into an HTPC, and have a bunch of extra hard drives to do so, but I can't find out how to do it. I think I want some sort of linux running on it, but I'm not sure. I really just want an os that looks nice, and will let me watch netflix and youtube without having an xbox live account. I know I won't be able to play games, but I really just wanna set up a home theater around this machine. I don't want to get replies like "It's not worth it, just buy a cheap pc or laptop" or "The power consumption is too high for it to be worth anything". Just ideas or tutorials please. Thank you in advance.

I have yet another question for what to do with some of my old tech. I have a 360 slim (gears of war edition) that i've been using as a dvd player, and almost nothing else. Is there anything cool I can do with it? I have a blank 360 hard drive laying around, for if i wanna do something cool. Please let me know if you have any cool ideas. I've looked at all the websites sayong "sell it, donate, turn into media play, etc..."

Hi peeps, I was wondering if someone is able to help me. I'm trying to get my old PS2 Slim back up and running, but I'm having some issues. I am using the 3-point sensor blocking trick, as I am using SwapMagic 3.6 (DVD). This is the current behaviour, also see the video at the bottom: 1. Push power button, turns on 2. Disc spins up, laser moves towards disc motor 2a. Sony Computer Entertainment logo/intro plays, with sound 3. Laser moves towards outer edge of disc 4. Disc keeps spinning at a low rate 4a. Black screen, does not load anymore This happens with all types of DVD/Playstation 2 discs that always used to work (both legal and illegal copies). Things I've tried: - Rearranging the sensor-blocking objects (they appear to be in the correct position, as moving it will stop the disc from spinning which means incorrect placement) - Cleaning laser lens with alcohol - Different disc rotation setting (fast vs. normal) - Different inputs and signal input cable type (RGB/RWY cables with and without adapter to SCART) - Different discs - Diagnostic mode (but that didn't do anything, not in the way it should work that is) - Trying to find similar posts/problems/topics, but none really seemed like that had the same situation It appears the gaphics part works fine, and it looks like it is probably able to read with the laser as well (laser positioning motor also looks to be working fine). I'm not getting the famous "Disc Read Error" line. Last time it properly worked was probably 8 years ago. It has been stored properly in working condition, disconnected from any power and signal cables and fairly free of dust and also has not been moved/bumped into in that time frame. I hope some of you are able to help me, or guide/link me in the right direction. I'm looking forward to playing some (at least for me) nostalgic games. Thank you in advance. Cheers, JB -
Hi, I am used to laptop keyboards and would like to know which keyboard models I should go for as a cheap solution for a flat keyboard of high-enough quality. So far Ive seen Dell KB216 and some apple ones that are really good but unfortunately I am using windows and not Mac so I am not sure which keyboard I should go for. Specifically I want a flat keyboard similar to how laptops look, I will be gaming but that doesnt stop me form getting one since my already owned "gaming" keyboard is very uncomfortable to use, a flat keyboard with as little space between the keys as possible would be ideal, similar to the key layout of Dell KB216 keyboard and around this price range of up to 20$ and wired would be preferred. Thanks!

After a long time of consideration, I've basically narrowed my search for a decent laptop to six choices: Asus Vivobook S14 S410UN-NS74 -$800 Asus Zenbook 13 UX331UN-WS51T - $1000 Asus Zenbook Flip 14 UX461UN-DS74T - $1300 Acer Swift 3 SF314-52G-55WQ - $650 Dell XPS 13 9365 - $1050 HP Spectre x360 15-BL152NR -$1100 refurbished, $1400 new I'm stuck. I am actually mostly looking at the Asus Vivbook and the Asus Zenbook 13. For the vivobook, the price looks very good for the specs it offers. However, the zenbook is still a pretty good value and has better portability. I also heard good things about dell XPS 13 and was impressed by it when I tested it out at microcenter. As for the zenbook flip, it was a similar experience. For the acer swift 3, I saw a lot of videos about it, good reviews, saw the good value and the solid specs, and was also impressed by it at microcenter by the build quality relative to its price. Finally for the HP Spectre, as I was browsing Amazon, I instantly fell in love with it, especially the design and specs. When I tested it out in Bestbuy, I was truly impressed, but the price holds me back as it is the most expensive in the list. So the real questions are: to what extent does the thickness, weight, and size matter? to what extent does touchscreen or 2 in 1 matter, especially in the future? to what extent do processors and ram matter? for me ssd and a dedicated graphics is almost a necessity. what is the best choice out of the six? If you have any other recommendations for a laptop, I would gladly consider. Just know that I would prefer at least an i5, dedicated graphics(mx150 preferably)(Im fine with integrated if it comes to it though), thin, 8gb of ram, ssd, ips panel, decent price, and less then 14 inches(unless very impressive like hp spectre) And please not the acer aspire as I just don't like tn panels on laptops.

Hi all! I'm looking for a slim mid tower ATX case that can house my two EVGA 1070 SC in SLI and hold two 2.5" SSDs (but maybe more). I don't need any 5.25" slots. My preferred budget is under $75 (though open to under $100 if it's really good). Not entirely sure how airflow works but good airflow would be preferable. Window not entirely necessary but could be nice (I might be moving the PC though so idk if having the windows are very fragile). Thanks!

So i want to populate my 5,25 inch bay with a usb hub with no more than 3 usb 3.0 plugs and atleast 1 quick charge usb port (4 in total), but i want to have a slim dvd reader above the 4 usb´s so the usb hub would sort of act like an adapter from regular 5,25 to a slim dvd drive (picture). I cant find any Products that would match my needs so im asking here if someone has a solution for that. Sort of like this but instead of the sd card read it would have that slim disc reader on the picture above, and it could have less usb ports

Wireless Slim Low Width Backlit keys Apple's iMac keyboard I find to be very heavy and a bit mushy to type on. Logitech K810 seems liek the best choice unless there's something else out there.

I am currently looking at a laptop that would be good for university. I wanted a laptop for a while and I had my eye on the Dell XPS since Linus made a video on a couple of years back for all it's benefits. I watched a few reviews, specifically on the 15 inch version and people often mentioned that the speakers were awful, obviously it's a deal breaker but for it's price you would expect something better. So I came to you my dear friends if you would be able to list some alternatives with mainly the features listed below, below £1,500 (or $2,000 US). I was also thinking of replacing let's say a HDD inside with an SSD too to reduce costs or making my options more flexible. In case you're wondering I am going on to study Product Design (edit) -Windows (not a fan of Apple's OS X and the keyboard labels) -14-15 inch screen -4 or more cores (i5, prefrably i7, or an AMD processor that's just as good) -slim/thin -good GPU -battery life 10+ hours -1080p (could be a bit lower or higher, I just don't want anything ridiculous like 4k as that will use more battery and power and I just don't need that) -8GB ram preferably: -space for 2 drives, doesn't matter what kind of connector -speakers better than the ones of a Dell XPS Thanks from top
