Not gonna be used for gaming, so inbuilt graphics would suffice. Typical daily tasks such as browsing, office, mails, etc. About 1.5kg weight I guess,lower is better. And about 10hr battery life

I'm looking for a laptop for a student (not for me, but a friend). Following are the requirements. Kindly suggest best options and where to buy from in the UK. Laptop should not be heavy. There will be no gaming whatsoever. Prefer one with Long life and durability. Budget - Under £700 British...

Yeaaa... I love you guys! This is exactly what i was looking for!! I did some quick reading and search. My hard drives do not run in parallel most of the time. So a PCIe 3.0 should work for me. So i think I will get a 4 port or 6 port PCIe card. How reliable are these? Any risks of crashes?

All are crappy options or too expensive.

M.2 ports are also used up. What other options do I have? I just want to add more SATA hard drives, not replace current ones with larger sizes. Most of my current ones are WD black and I got it cheap. Now prices are through the roof.

I am looking to add additional Hard Drives for my home PC. My mobo SATA ports are all used up. Mobo is ASUS prime b560 plus. What are my options?

Lenovo thinkbook 14 G2 ITL. Why is this brand/model dependent? What if I swap the laptop later to a different one ?

I am looking for a Dock for my wife to make her usage of laptop easier. The dock should be able to support data, video and power delivery (Not sure if USB-C supports anything else). The following ports are required. USB-C (host PC). PC to be charged via USB-C (Included power adapter for dock)...

I found the problem. The RAM I had it installed in A1, B1. Asus manual recommends to install it on A2, B2 when using 2 RAM modules. After swapping, the boot is normal, I don't find any strange issues. No errors during POST. What if A2, B2 has problems? Then A1, B1 will be the fallback option...

I have updated to the latest bios. The problem continues to exist.

I will check the BIOS version. Latest is v1601. Currently memtest is running.

Yes, I'm referring to XMP on the mobo BIOS

Sorry, didn't get that. Proper bios? I know only of one BIOS, the mobo firmware one.

I have an ASUS Prime b560-plus mobo with 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz A-Data running in dual channel. With XMP enabled, the boot time is much longer, sometimes 1-2min before POST is run. Secondly, with XMP on, POST always shows an error with the message "The system has POSTed in safe mode...." (A long...

Ended up getting an LG monitor primarily due to the after sales support. The 1080p resolution on the 27 inch monitor, is not to my liking, but it is no issue for my wife. Dell was my first choice, but i was strongly recommended against Dell and Samsung as they are infamous for the service. If...
