    HP 17t-k200 looking for a fair value

    I am giving this to as a donation for taxes. What is the fair value for it? It's clean (noting wrong with the screen or inside, typical minor scratches on top and bottom, one corner has a minor crack when a bellhop dropped my bag on the hotel floor from waist level, the MacBook Pro in the same...

    Looking for a budget laptop $300 or so

    They currently have an HP Pavillion G series 584037-001. It has Windows 7, so ancient like 11 years old. I don't think sticking an SSD and some more memory in will help. Costco usually has good HP deals, but nothing is showing now. Waiting for them to get back with me on size and if...

    Good compact laptop with numeric pad for $2-3k?

    $2K budget (could go higher). Looking for 14-15" numeric pad, good screen, some power

    Is using a USB to M.2 adapter to boot and then copy to NVMe inside the right way?

    I don't have access to a desktop and I have two laptops that come with 128GB SSDs M.2 coming. They are compatible with NVMe so I picked up a couple 256GB SX8200 Pros. Since USB to PCIe/NVMe is no go, can I take the stock drive out and place it on a M.2 to USB adapter to boot with and then...

    Is a 128GB SSD and 500GB HDD enough for a basic student laptop?

    I am worried more about the 128SSD. Their old laptops were only 256GB and 500GB previously. My plan is to load the user files onto the HDD and only use the SSD for OS/Programs. I could get decent 256GB SSDs for $50-60 (NVMe) but then that is another cost. I picked up the $299 HP...

    Crucial MX500 1TB M.2 not being seen by HP Envy 17t-K200 CTO

    The drive is supposedly compatible. It's not being seen by BIOS nor Win 10 Pro 64bit. I tried reseating it. I did try to use a NVMe drive prior that was not compatible, if that makes a difference. Anything I can try? I have set the BIOS to legacy mode and also turned off Secure Boot. Thanks

    Currently have MX500 1TB will going to PCIe M2 be noticible day to day?

    If I upgraded my motherboard to support PCIe M2 drives will it be a noticable difference in day to day tasks over my MX500 1TB (6GB/s SATA)? I have a 2600K at 4.5GHz and PC2133 16GB RAM, if that is a factor. I think I am not going to gain much but some bragging rights upgrading at this time to...

    Z77 Extreme4 16GB of Trident X F3-2133C9D and have 8GB of F3-12800CL9D

    Would the extra 8GB be worth running with a 2600K shooting for 4.5GHz OC? I am thinking just sell it off and stick with the 16GB of faster RAM. Thanks

    3930K - Trident X: 32GB 1600 PC3 F3-1600C7Q-32GTX cas 7 or 16GB 2133 F3-2133C9D-16GB cas 9

    The 32GB setup is 4x8GB and the 16GB setup is 2x8GB. The one thing I am not sure on other than the latter should be faster overall is that I heard the 3930K need certain memory layouts. Does that CPU need to run 4 DIMMS at a time to be optimal? What do I give up (other than 16GB of RAM that I...

    Windows 10 will not let me repair/restore it.

    My computer is not booting into Windows, I tried to do the repair/restore/recovery from backup options and nothing worked (my backups somehow only ran once so it wasn't really an option to use).

    Dell Vostro 400 won't work with Noctura NF-A8?!?!?

    The computer will not boot with it and the fan doesn't turn on. Fortunately, I could use the low fan speed adapter that came with it on both the stock 92mm and 80mm FANS FROM HELL. My wife's Vostro sadly did not come with typical heatsink to fan clip but little screws needed to secure it...
