    Question MSI GL66 vs ASUS Strix 15

    That's one of my concerns with MSI. Also the 3070 is 85w not the 140w. The ASUS 3060 is 130w.

    Question MSI GL66 vs ASUS Strix 15

    I need some advice. I ordered the MSI GL66 last week with RTX 3070 but my buddy bought the Strix 15 with the RTX 3060. With GL66 I get the i7-11800H 2.4GHz. The Strix on the other hand has the Ryzen 9 5900HX at 4.6 GHz. Other than that, they are fairly comparable. I will note that I got the...

    Question Certificate Issue with Google Meet

    Exactly that. I can manually change the timezone but it won't stick. I cannot keep the changes. If it's set to automatic timezone, it will always say "Alaska" even though we live in Nevada now. But I'm not sure that this is causing the certificate issue because my other son's computer is...

    Programming for Kids

    Hello all! My 11 year old son has taken an interest in possibly starting programming as a hobby. I love the fact he wants to do this and I know it spawns from his time playing Minecraft. Being able to accommodate this desire of his is a big deal for me as I have had some very basic knowledge...

    [SOLVED] My laptop disconnects from the Wi-Fi and reconnects every few seconds

    I don't mean to hijack this thread but I have the same issue. Christmas day I added 3 new smart TVs and and Xbox One to the network. I'm using a Nighthawk AC1900 and I've set my router to automatically detect the best band for the device connected (2.4GHz vs 5GHz). Since adding these devices...

    Can I use a DHCP wireless router with a static IP network?

    Thank you guys for the answers. It looks like with the basic setup I have, I need to stop using static IPs and just use DHCP instead.
