Hey so I upgraded my Acer v3-571 to windows 8 cause it was cheap and wanted to see if it actually sucked, fortunately it doesn't however I haven't been able get sound out from my headphone jack since. I've installed latest drivers from acers website, but that hasn't helped. What does work is...

Why no JuiceDefender? or Tasker doing the same thing? Auto toggle Wifi/3g is a massive booster of battery life with no effort.

v3-571, cpu is an i3-3110m As far as I know Ivy-bridge based mobile i3's should be capable of utilizing ram at 1600mhz, and the laptop worked fine with a single stick in it. I only ram 1 pass on each stick, I suppose I could run more but it takes awhile and I was doing it at work

I put 2 sticks mushkin 1600mhz 4gb ram into my acer aspire laptop, when both channels are populated the laptop will crash, without a BSOD it just restarts or turns off. I've tested each stick with memtest in each individual slow and it was fine, but memtest got an unexpected error with both in...

Essentially I want a laptop that can compile at almost the speed I'm used to on my PC but on the go, As it's main function will be a portable coding machine. I've been trying to find a laptop sporting an i7, but without a GPU because the IGP should be fine for what I'm doing though so far most...

I've been rocking my megalodon for like 2 months are its great, but i installed an xbox 360 dongle to my pc so i could use my 360 controller for games and they stopped working. I'm fairly sure that's a driver conflict and if i uninstall the driver they will work again, but doing so will mean my...

With laptops can you install extra RAM without voiding the warranty? I've built PC's before an all but I don't know what you can get away with as far as laptops are concerned.
