    Reliable laptop for working with CAD?

    Hello! I haven't kept up to date on the laptop market in the last couple of years. My dad is looking for a sub-£2000 laptop to handle any and all CAD-related functions. Asides from the obvious base performance requirements for this, his main priorities are build-quality, longevity and...

    I have micro-SD cards, and a portable HDD, but no laptop. How can I transfer from SD to HDD?

    Forza Horizon 3 huge load times...can't roll back driver to fix it?

    I have been getting insane load times for FH3 since I got it; about 7 minutes on average. It's on an SSD, I never have anything else running in the background, and all drivers are updated. I have a 290X. This is a common problem according to forums, and everyone says to roll back drivers to pre-...
