Looks good. But for gaming the GPU is most important. If you can fit in a better one somehow you could benefit. Both alternative options above would already improve your gaming performance. And a thing to note, Raytracing and DLSS are 2 things that Nvidia does better than AMD.

Sure it works, but the big question what's it gonna be used for?

What you use the laptop for (Adobe Acrobat, Browser, Outlook, Excel, ...) aren't very demanding on the CPU, so you should be good with the i5. Of course going higher is always better, but that's dependant of the budget. With all the Tabs and e-mails and software open at the same time, you will...

On a system this old, I would rather go with Linux.

I usually had good results with Minitool

Favorite Movie probably Alien or Aliens. They are both great. Or Kubrick's 2001 and some other classics, like Casablanca and such... .

You will need the correct chassis that matches the form factor of your motherboard. Be aware of that. Smaller Formfactor chassis have not as good airflow and less space for cooling. Your Hardware might run hotter and clock down. Or your coolers might run louder (noise-level) to cope. Also less...

Just saying that AMD sockets usually last alot longer than Intel sockets. And this is true in this case as well. Because the lga1700 is going to be discontinued for next 15th gen Arrow Lake (the new socket will be LGA1851). So if he choses the i9 14900k he/she will be stuck with it. Whereas the...

Enermax seems to have an assortment of under 500w PSUs. Along with Corsair my favorite manufacturer when it comes to PSUs ;)

There is supposed to be a battery setting to keep it at around 50-60% of full charge at all times. This option would be the best to preserve battery life as best as possible. And is the advised setting if you keep it plugged in most of the times.

Most things have already been said. 1st and most important: Replace HDD with SATA-SSD. 256GB ones are super cheap (around 30 Dollars or less) which should be plenty of space for the system and some documents and pictures (even some HD-Videos). If there is free SATA-ports you might even keep the...

It's probably not the solution to your specific problem. But you might still give it a try, who knows. It works for other kind of file-transfer problems.. : In your iPhone-Settings, go to Photos>Transfer To Max Or PC (that option is all the way to the bottom of the Photos-Settings-Page). Then...

So same thing? You can access all the folders and files, but not the 12GB video?

Did you try importing it over Windows-Explorer and not the app yet?
