Currently I have an audio problem and would greatly appreciate your input. If you want to skip most of the text I have re-iterated my main questions at the end. I have no proper audio output for my desktop/laptop, except for my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50x). My laptop (MSI GE72 6QF) has...

I created this thread about one and a half years ago. But to answer I ended up going for an MSI GE72 6QF and have had it since. I have had some problems with it too. From the first day the trackpad hasn't been working correctly. Sending it back to get repaired didn't help. Sparks came from...

After more looking I found the Asus G751JT for €1500 (~£1100). It has 8GB RAM as opposed to 16GB, a 1TB HDD instead of a 265GB SSD but does have the GTX 970M. Would this be worth it? P.S. Would it be possible to add RAM to the Asus at a later data or swap out the DVD drive for a HDD or SSD in...

To get rid of extra stock. I know that in Ireland there are sales on St Stephens Day (26th). This may not apply to laptops though (or any larger electronics).

I guess that I will have to consider it for a little while. Do you know if there are usually sales in laptops after Christmas? I might find a 970M at a better price but it would be a risk as the cashback ends on the 24th.

Thanks. I had a quick look at the prices for them. I found the first for about £1350 and the other for £1200. They are slightly out of my max budget. At least £400 seems like quite a lot for one step up in GPU.

Hi, I'm looking at getting a gaming laptop (my desktop is great but it would be handy to have some portability). I found the Lenovo Y70 Touch for £799.97 including £100 cashback from savingsonlaptops.co.uk. Is this a good deal? Or would you suggest something else? I'm open to spending a bit...

I have an old cheap 5.1 so I put two of the old speakers in both rear ports (the right one acted as a control). When I did this they both worked but the left front speaker started messing up. Then I put the original speakers back in and the left rear one worked. Now the left front is also...

I managed to get my old PC (which runs on Windows Vista 32-bit) working which also has a 5.1 output. I got the same problem with the rear left speaker. This seems to show that it is a problem with the sound system. Is there anything that can be done to get it working?

I am planning on buying a new 5.1 sound system (the logitech z506). One of my friends has a logitech x-530 which from specs seems to be quite similar. I am testing them on my computer to see how they sound. I have run into a problem. The rear left speaker does not seem to work (the other one...
