    Is this laptop decent for gaming

    I was thinking more of an Nvidia 940M or 960M. The AMD is low power and the CPU is weak also. The i5 would probably run cooler and perform better.

    No. Those are not gaming laptops. You may be able to find a used or discontinued model with dedicated graphics that can play some games at lower settings.

    I have wifi on my lap top how can I use a hot spot without the security code?

    If they wanted to let you use it without getting permission or for free there would not be a password. It would say 'open' instead of 'secure'.

    Buying a cheap laptop

    A couple years back Lenovo was caught putting some type of marketing malware on laptops they sold. They apologized and stopped doing it but the fact remains they did it. Since then I refuse to recommend their products. I'm sure their laptops are fine now but it's the principle for me. I'll leave...

    What is a good gaming laptop for $255? IF there is one.

    Your only option for a gaming laptop in that price range is a used one from Ebay or Craigslist. Newegg may have a refurbished laptop.

    Buy a laptop or build a desktop?

    [list] ■Your build looks good but 1080P does not look so great at 27 inches. The 980 ti is very capable of 1440P. ■32GB memory is way overkill. 16GB is overkill for most users. Really, 16GB is plenty unless you do heavy editing or rendering on a regular basis. In order to get the memory up to...

    Price check on vintage Altec Lansing 510A speakers?

    Back in the day (lol) they used to put 2 woofers but only one was actually wired. The other just sat there and shared the same resonance chamber and relied on the wired woofer to create the bass. The drone just bounced from the woofers vibrations. It actually enhanced the bass some.

    Price check on vintage Altec Lansing 510A speakers?

    One of the key factors to help determine value is the condition of the foam type ring on the woofers that attach the cone to the frame. If it's old and cracked value drops badly. Is the other a woofer also or a drone?

    PC on the desk or floor?

    It won't make any difference unless the PSU does not get air. As long as the PSU gets air it's fine on the floor.

    CPU cooler loud.

    You need to replace the whole unit with a cooler master Hyper 212 EVO or Cryorig H7. Stock AMD coolers are not very good.
