Ok, so here's the deal- the laptop you currently have has a slightly better graphics card. The one on the new (the one you might return it for) is newer by about 3 years and has faster video RAM. Honestly, I would recommend the Dell. the faster processor will speed everything up, even things...

The temperature "limit" for 105°C isn't necessarily true. It's just a recommended guideline for what to try to keep your laptop temperatures under, as prolonged use at those temperatures could damage something. With your turbo on a naturally-hot core i7-7700HQ, (edit: do you have the turbo...

Cool. My new system with an i5-7600K (about as close as I can get to the i7-7700K with my budget) is spectacular (albeit a GTX 1060) for pretty much all purposes. I do 3d design work, some gaming, mine the occasional Bitcoin, and general photo/video editing. Especially at this time, the price...

That does seem like a pretty good deal, especially for a prebuilt... However, this CPU is not the "K" model, so it won't be overclockable. If you are looking to overclock your CPU, I would say to go for the Core i7-7700K model. Other than that, it really is a good deal- If you're going to be...

Hi there! Most laptops do this weird thing with their graphics- if they're not plugged in or not needing much graphics power, they will use the built-in "integrated" graphics (That's the Radeon R7, I think). However, under intense load such as benchmarking or gaming, the laptops will use the...

Hi! I may be biased since I just got a Corsair K70 LUX RGB, but here's my input. TL;DR (Too long, didn't read): I would say to get the Corsair- the font can be overlooked, and the wrist rest/ media keys just make the experience better. Also, the software is great. Both Razer and Corsair...

I think this might be normal- I just got one of these laptops myself (a very similar model at least, here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072QT88DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the right fan spins much more quickly than the left fan. I am not certain, but I think that the...

If you have a mouse, plug it in and after a few seconds, your laptop should be able to work as normal. If you don't have a mouse, just click "tab" to go to the next box (to type in your password). Hope this helps Good luck, RandomGuy42

I would say to take your laptop to a repair place- they probably won't charge you just for a simple system inspection (to see if anything really is wrong) and it's a good idea to do this anyway. Could you send a few more details about your laptop? (e.g. Lenovo B590, 8 GB ram, 256 GB SSD.) As...

I would say to look into the second one (with the Core i5-7300HQ). Although you are getting a Core i5 vs a Core i7 (which really matters to some people, the specs, not the name really matters) you are getting significantly better graphics and load times. Let me explain- the first choice only...

Can you be more specific? (E.g. the model of your laptop, Operating system such as Windows 10, etc.) and indicate what the problem is? For example, I think that you meant that your laptop won't power on- have you tried different power outlets, and/or reinstalling the battery (If your laptop can...

Hello! By a quick online search, I found these discussions, which might help- http://forums.bestbuy.com/t5/Computers-Tablets/Hard-Drive-password-protected-on-Toshiba-Satellite/td-p/325386 http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2402418/toshiba-c55d-bios-password-reset.html...

Glad that I could help! Even though my answers can be a bit lengthy (ahem... always) I try to make them concise and accurate. The Surface laptop is also a good laptop, but not repairable or fixable at all (just look at ifixit.com and find a teardown of the surface laptop to see what I mean). I...

Those seem like pretty good options- here's what I think about them. TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read): Get the Lenovo Yoga 920- the Inspiron 15 7000 is way too heavy and has a slow hard drive, and the XPS 15 has a major screen issue. The Yoga 920 fixes all of these issues and even throws in a...

Not sure if you would be able to easily buy one... Here's an Amazon link for one, it's listed at around 90 dollars. https://www.amazon.com/nVidia-GeForce-660498-001-MXM3-0-Graphics/dp/B00CHU6R62/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511838820&sr=8-1&keywords=2GB+NVIDIA+GeForce+GT+540M Hope this helps (the...
