1 TB nvme SSD+hard disk slot. or nvme ssd slot with 2 TB HDD. 16 GB RAM/32 GB extendible. 15.6'' good display quality Intel i9 processor. or any equivalent good enough processor(I don't have much ideas about this). I use that for mainly programming in pycharm currently and might have to use android studio in future. web development and app development mainly. In the future I might even consider machine learning and artificial intelligence fields as well. My goal is to make it futureproof for at least 5 years(of course with upgrades like RAM). I have made my current laptop for 5 years as a student. I am buying this laptop after 2 years but for buying it for cheap I am buying the same laptop that is on market currently now Haha if it is there...(middle class struggle) So I want to know about it. Thanks for the information.

So I finished Doom Eternal recently and loved it. I started playing Rage 2 and while the shooting feels great I don't have it in me to play a open-world game, and just feel like a lot of companies are making "open-world" games to artificially pad a game with extra "play time." I am playing Gears 5 currently and feel kind of "meh" about it since it just feels like every other Gears of War game. Anyway, I wanted to get some suggestions for any fairly-recent (last 8 years or so) FPS games that you particularly liked... maybe even lesser-known games or something.

I am looking to buy a Lenovo Chromebook Duet with MediaTek Helio P60T processor. Would this be a good choice?

Hello. I am planning to buy a custom build PC. I am from kolkata India. Anyone knows a good company who does it. Also after sales support is important. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi.My PC comes with Gibyte b365 hd3 atx 1151 motherboard (I think it has 4 memory slots and dual channel) and Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 2666 RAM, PNY RTX 2070 SUPER TRIPLE FAN graphics and supernova 650 gold power supply. I want to expand to 32GB and I wanted to know: 1. With the previous configuration is it possible / recommended to expand to 32GB? 2. Do I have to expand with the same configuration (2x8GB) and with the same RAM?If not, I listen to recommendations. 3. Could I install the new RAM myself?Is it difficult considering that I never installed one?Any tutorial? Thank you.

Hello!! i am trying to install windows 10 on a assembled pc. The problem is that I find myself in a paradoxical situation: the BIOS sees me the key only if formatted in GPT format, however it warns me that it cannot be used because "This drive can only boot in UEFI mode. It can not boot in BIOS / Legacy mode. ". He tells me to redo the key in MBR format, but when I do this I can't find it anymore at startup.

How to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7 home premium. I've gone through microsoft win 10 download.exe but after getting it to 99% it gives error couldn't coneect. Then I've tried for media creation tool not worked. How to upgrade suggest me please.

AMD seems to have slowly let out rumoured launch dates and prices on its new series of cards that are supposedly better that the GTX 9xx series! The fact that these new cards come with HBM over GDDR5 is something that sounds amazing! Can't wait to see some real benchmarks!

If I want to mirror videos from my laptop to a television wirelessly - for either presentations or watching movies, how should I do this? I know how to mirror videos from my phone to my PC, for example, but what do I need if I want to watch a film, and don't have a HDMI cable?

Does this config sound about right? Intel Core i5 4440 - 11550 Sapphire r9 280x - 20943 Gigabyte B85M-D3H* - 5171 (BTW does it support only amd cards? crossfire to be specific.) Corsair Vengeance 8GB - 6599 Corsair VS Series VS650 - 4118 Antec X1-E - 3700 (Other recommendations?) LG 22" Led IPS - 9195 Western Digital 2 TB - 5283 APC 1100VA - 6789 (Too much?) Razer Vengeance -3448 (only for rpg/rts i use game pads for other games)

Recently I changed my flat and moved to a new location. Transported my PC. It was a short travel and I was in the car. I can assure no major or fatal shakes were encountered during the transport. Now, coming to topic. Connected my PC last night and booted it.It kept on restarting on boot itself. Let me give you exact details.... Switch on power button--> PSU is on, fan movingCabinet fans movingMOBO light is onInitial POST code is 90 Within 3 sec. it changes code to 99 and restartsIn this duration power did not come to my KBD and Mouse (using Razor Cyclosa and they have a blue LED which obviously lights on if power is on) My guess is1>the PC is not getting enough power. Its normal plug point. Should I try a high AMP power soket? 2>The CMOS battery is the culprit.Any way to check? 3>The PSU itself is gone.But is was working perfectly even two weeks back! b/w no beeps were heard though in this whole time. Any lead guys? I'm at a loss what to look for.

The PC ain't dead. Or is it?
