    Question Did I damage the battery in any way?

    Hello there, I got a new laptop at the end of June but for a few reasons (irrelevant, so won't bore you with the details) I didn't turn it on until a few days ago. So basically it was sitting in a box waiting to be turned on for quite a while. When I finally got to turn it on, the battery was...

    Question Which CPU is best out of these three ?

    Hello there, If you don't mind, I'd like to revive this thread. There's a new competitor I'd like to add to the bunch, i.e. R9 8945HS. Would it be a much better option than the other two? And... it seems that the laptop that sports the Ultra 7 155h is claimed to have the best battery...

    After having the SSD installed my laptop drives me crazy. Help needed.

    I hope someone could reply... Here are the SAMSUNG Magician 4.4 benchmark results: Sequential Read: 522 MB/s Sequential Write: 498MB/s Random Read: 69155 (this one is surprisingly low... the benchmark says it should be up to 95000) Random Write: 30046 (could be up to 37000 according to the...

    After having the SSD installed my laptop drives me crazy. Help needed.

    Hi there, I need your help and advice. Here's the whole story. Yesterday I had my mSATA SSD installed and I decided to have a fresh Windows 7 installation on it (legal copy.) Everything went quite well (except for the fact that my new drive wasn't bootable but I got rid of the problem.) The...
