You can probably do some dumpster diving and score one for free. e.g. I scored a perfectly fine 2008~ish Mac Pro with some targeted dumpster diving myself. Someone had thrown it away only because the GPU had burnt out from excessive dust build up. Definitely better than a "trashputer"...

These two videos will answer your question. Video 1 Video 2 Edit: USB wifi solutions tend to be pretty bad and inconsistent, even if they can periodically reach the speeds they advertise. I've found there's up to a 75% loss and constant packet loss when compared to a similarly priced...

It could be heat. My friend's second hand MBP did this until I pulled out all the fans, did a thorough cleaning, and replaced a bunch of hard and crusty thermal paste. Temps dropped like a rock all around and his intermittent crashing was fixed. He still has file and memory corruption issues...

As a former 760k owner, I'll tell you right now, you probably will not see the gains you were hoping for by overclocking. I honestly doubt very many 760k's in existence could run the gauntlet I put mine through (1.65V at 4.9-and-a-bit ghz with an H100i strapped to it, pegging itself at 80C under...

I neither own a bamboo tablet nor use it for anything productive, but the tiny $25 Huion420 I play osu! with used to periodically shut itself off until I realised I had to uncheck the box under the respective device's properties that said "Allow Windows to turn this device off to save power" or...

Budget gaming and laptop are two things that don't go together. Especially when you expect Battlefield 1, GTA5, and The Witcher 3 to play well on anything other than potato settings. A 960m will probably give you a powerpoint slideshow out of TW3 without full on potato settings, let alone the...

I remember when I went to RMA my Intel CPU... and the Intel support site was down, and for a full week at that. It was glorious. Good luck with Toshiba customer support! At least you could actually call them.

As an owner of the original ATH M30, I'd like to think the M30x would be a worthy purchase, especially for the low, low cost of $65 MSRP. My only concern are the earcups since the material they're made of isn't comfortable to everyone, nor is the clamping force of the headbands, although both...

Dust, dirt, grit, water, sweat, all can cause shorts across the tiny leads under the rubber membrane. See if disassembling the thing and giving it a thorough clean fixes the weird key presses. If not, I'd call it a faulty keyboard and try and get it RMA'd. However, seeing it is an ASUS product...

Google the term "keyboard ghosting". Microsoft should have a pretty detailed article on it, since they attempted to develop a gaming keyboard themselves. It's a well known issue that applies only to rubber membrane keyboards (like every laptop keyboard in existence).

Three dots on the upper right corner under the X. Settings Scroll down Advanced Settings Clear Browsing Data Select only the box that says "Cached images and files" And clear all that cache that's been saved up from various flash-based ads, facebook, reddit, etc. Unlike Firefox or Opera or...

I can't find a single laptop made by samsung with those specs on it. Since I can't find which laptop you're using, I can't help much. The last thing that comes to mind is, did you disable active GPU switching, locking it to the iGPU only? Is your laptop capable of actively switching between...

Get a laptop within budget if it's got great specs even if it has a garbage keyboard, then get an external mouse and keyboard to game with. Other than that recommendation, I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to mobile and laptops.

1.) Get the best headphones you can for $90. 2.) Get the Zalman ZM1 and clip it to your $90 headphones. 3.) Be a soundwhore with a better mic than 99% of headsets on the market today.
