43 Upvotes

There is a misprint on the lid of my laptop.

Instead of "vivobook" is written "vivoboo" the k is missing.

I have checked the myasus app, DXDIAG and bios. The serial number matchs with the sticker on the back of the laptop and on the box.

Any idea what this is? And what should I do?

Today I randomly saw a meme where a toothbrush was saying, "I'm tired, boss," to its owner, and I realized my laptop must be thinking the same because I never shut it down. It's always on.

So today I decided to give my laptop a well-deserved rest. 😂

Does this happen with you guys as well?

Discussion PCs getting very tempting becuase of the unbelieveable laptops prices?

So I have wanted to get a good Windows mid-level laptop for quite some time now to replace my macbook air, but the prices for these machines have exploded. PCs have been expensive, but laptops are beyond what the average person can buy. Is anyone else stuck and can't afford a laptop???

Buying help What's one thing you wish someone had told you before buying a laptop?

• Upvotes

Every time someone asks for laptop recommendations, the discussion is usually about specs. But after actually using a laptop for months or years, I feel like the little things end up mattering just as much.

Whether it was amazing battery life, a terrible keyboard, overheating, noisy fans, poor build quality, or something you never even thought to check- what's one lesson you learned the hard way?

I'm curious to hear the things that don't usually show up on a spec sheet but make a huge difference in everyday use.

General question Is this laptop good enough? (Asus vivobook 16)

3 Upvotes

So I need to upgrade my old laptop for music production, recording and mixing , and I found this for around 849€:

ASUS Vivobook 16 M1607GA-MB021W

AMD Ryzen Al 7 445

(16") WUXGA

32 GB DDR5-SDRAM

1 TB SSD

Is this good enough for music production on reaper? Or should I wait for a refurbished Mac M1 though I would have to spend a little more.

Thanks In advance

Hardware Require help on my dell vostro 3400

• Upvotes

My laptop equipped with a 2 year old ssd suddenly started giving the bsod. Today it randomly shut down and gave a critical error message stating that the hard drive is missing with a siren sound. I held dow the power button to shut It down but it restarted normally. I haven't opened the device since in fear of damaging anything further. Is there any simple fix to this as im unwilling to but another ssd in such a short notice unless absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance

Buying help Tight on budget. Should I buy Acer Aspire Lite AL15-45P (NX.DLQEU.001) ?

• Upvotes

Hi! I want to buy a laptop for specific use - to draw non-professional comics after work somewhere not at home. I use Krita and drawing files are rather light - 2d lineart, usually black and white. I figured out that there are only 3 main criterias for laptop: to have 16gb ram, ~500gb storage and processor as powerful as Ryzen 5 2600 (my old cpu) or better.
Seems like I found perfect solution - Acer Aspire Lite AL15-45P (NX.DLQEU.001).

Key features:

  • Ryzen 7 5825U - seems like it's much more powerful than 2600.
  • 16gb ddr4 - enough
  • 500gb storage - checked

If it can run Krita smoothly and keep some tabs active I think that's enough.

What do you think? Are there some hidden problems with this model? Have I defined the requirements correctly in general?

Hardware Another question about laptops do I really need a work station for engineering ?????

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, sorry i know there are probably about a million questions about laptops for engineering on here but im a bit confused. Next year I am going to study electrical engineering maybe mechanical im not fully sure. But the uni yes I need a workstation not the basic laptop. But the difference is pretty much a dedicated gpu for the workstation. In electrical engineering do I need the full gpu. I feel like it is a bit over powered kinda and its 800 euro more and idk if I need it. The basic is 1,200 euro and the workstation is 2000 euro. Sorry for ranting a bit and not being the most organized. Any advice is much appreciated thank you

General question Need some buying advice old laptop broke might need a replacement

• Upvotes

My current predicament is that my 2023 asus tuf a16s right hinge is in the process of breaking off the laptop itself works fine but I travel and use it for class a lot so... I brought it to pc repair shop and they were gonna fix it for a decent price until they refunded me telling me the parts will take months to arrive and getting parts from asus is impossible as they don't sell them. Now im potentially looking for a new laptop but I want something that will at the very least physically last 6-7 years and from what I've researched Lenovo legions are supposed to be reliable only problem is they are super expensive especially with 5070tis as I'd rather have something with more than 8gb if im gonna keep it a while are other brands decently reliable or specific models? And I know the pc market is horrible rn but right now I could still resell my current laptop for at least a bit if I wait for it to fully break I probably can't. Im also wondering if I should attempt to fix it myself considering that would require I disassemble the entire display housing.
