Hey all, I am looking to buy an entry level laptop for my grandfather who’s current laptop barely boots into windows yet alone chrome and was wondering if anyone knew a laptop that would fit these requirements. The laptop will only ever be used to watch Youtube videos, open PDFs, pictures and word documents and once in a while to open his emails. It would be nice if the laptop had onboard ethernet. The laptop should also have a screen at least 16”. The budget for this upgrade is between €100-200. While searching myself I found the HP 255G9 with an AMD ryzen 3 chip inside but I don’t know if that fits these requirements as I am still quite new to the world of PCs and computing hardware. Thanks for the help!

Budget (including currency): Around $450 or Less. 500 Max. Country: USA Mainland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming, Multitasking, 6+ Hours of Games, Art Programs (Online ones like DrawPile as well), Google Applications (Multiple open at once). mostly will be used for Streaming Games, Work, and Holding and making a lot of huge Art Image Files, preferably in PNG. Avoiding Cloud Storage. Transferring Files to and from Device quickly. Check Parts List Desc. Other details 16GB RAM is my ideal, but can work with 8GB if it’s sufficient for the minimum and cost effective for later upgrading. 60HZ Refresh Rate minimum, 1080p or Mid-level graphics settings in games. 40 FPS or a little under is minimum. Windows 10 (Pro, Home, doesn’t matter). I will find keyboard later, I already have a Monitor (Samsung M5) and Free blutooth USB connected Mouse. Lag-free display Ps4 + Ps5 Console Games I really want to avoid Offloading of tabs, apps, and programs. I don’t plan on buying all components at once on the same day/week, and will wait over this next year to get the best prices. I’m not worried about having the best of the best, just aiming for manageable. Can add things or change later, since I’m pretty clueless, being this is my first build. Suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you. debating on starting with i3-10100 or i5 10th gen / any cpu that’s at least equivalent to the i3-100 efps https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SmokyOni/saved/W29JnQ

I have a 2070 Super from a friend, looking for help with the rest. I’d like a small to medium sized setup but would settle for a bigger rig if it gets me more performance for my money.

So as the title says I'm looking for ideas and opinions on broad strokes entry level positions into IT and, well, working with computers in general. Always loved computers and been in school for it about a year now and certain events taking place are more or less forcing me to start looking into new employment opportunities so I figure now is as good a time as any to find one more or less in my field. So my questions is, assume the job is available near, what are afew ideal positions I should look into in order to make a solid IT based foundation? (whether its for actual skills or resume, either would be good) Edit: 1001 and 1002 A+ certs under my belts and looking to get first lvl of CCNA here shortly.

Hi, My nephew is looking into getting his first gaming pc. For that his mom has asked me (and my limited knowledge) for guidance. He has played Fortnite on PS4 and Roblox on a school laptop and are looking for similar but upgraded gaming experience. So far I have been constructing the below specs. - How do you think it would perform in 1080p high setting Fortnite? - Is it worth spending another USD 43 upgrading the CPU to Ryzen 5 2600?

Hi Everyone: My 10 year old son has really been getting into computers and wants to learn how to build a PC. It has been a long time since I have built a PC and I am hoping to get some advice. I think this will be a great opportunity for him to learn more about how computers work, to feel some real accomplishment, and for us to have fun working together. I am hoping to spend between $500 and $700 on the PC. I will need to pick up a Windows license. I already have an extra monitor and a peripherals. I have no preference as far as brand or affiliation. He does like the look of the Cooler Master cases and would very much like to do something RGB related (although I understand if that might have to come later to keep the budget). He is into games like Rocket League, Star Wars Battlefront, Minecraft, and he loves racing games. I also hope this can be a platform for him to upgrade over time as he gets older. Thank you in advance for the advice!

Any Ideas of an Entry Level Laptop? Sorry Edit; buget is something around 500 $ games mostly coding will be done occasionally.
