    Decent tablet with a stylus for college?

    Id like to start taking my notes all digitally, but since typing does not elicit the same memory response as writing on paper or with a stylus I'm in need of some tablet recommendations. Preferably something at a mid range price point $300-500. I like responsiveness so itd need to have a...

    Whats an equivalent laptop to this build?

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MFtkWX I just put this computer together, but Im having a bit of buyers remorse as I tend to move pretty frequently and I've figured a laptop may just be the better option considering I really only play games like LoL, and PS4 PC releases. I liked the idea of...

    Pc just put together....No power...

    CPU, PSU, mobo, and GPU are all new. I hooked everything up, flipped the PSU on, and nothing happened when I hit the power button on the case. I definitely had the button plugged in to the correct pins on the board. There is power because theres a light on that comes on the GPU. Ive never...

    Any recommendations for an office chair off of newegg?

In the past I think I've had a typical executive style pvc office chair, which worked for my liking but since Ive been in fully furnished places for the last 3 years I cant remember what kind of qualities they had. Im looking for something for preferably under 80...

    All in one modems? Whats best for me?

    Yeah really Im probably the most tech savvy in the house but I just like to plug and go, I cant think of anything id really do to the network outside of changing the channel or resetting remotely. My main concern is keeping latency low, but since Im the only one hardwired to the modem that...

    Gaming, Tower vs Laptop, is there a difference at this point?

    So I just built a PC, for the second time, this time the cost came to $930, including the parts I had initially. I really didnt intend to spend that much but it all came up quickly, with the cost of peripherals really making me wonder if there is really any disparity in 2016 in the...

    Did some black friday shopping, did I pull off a decent deal?

    Managed to score some percentages off alongside some rebates, but I'm not really sure if I got the best bang for my buck on each part. I tried to get the components that I thought offered the most performance for their price point. Anything I have listed as 0 was around from my prior build...

    Black friday sales? What to look out for this year?

    I wanna build another PC now but Im wondering if I should wait until black friday. I normally just buy everything off Amazon but historically have there been cheaper places, or does Amazon tend to slash any prices? Im needing all parts so what are some deals I should look out?

    What MOBO would be inline with an i5-6500 ?

    I just built a PC earlier this year that uses the i5-6500 and the ASUS Z170M-plus motherboard. I moved and decided to sell off my PC (thinking itd help me to get more done, and I'd specifically use my unis library, though that seems to be more of a hindrance than anything else), so now that Im...
