Honestly it depends on what you're looking for and what you need. With that budget I would probably just build desktop and then buy a decent non-gaming laptop. It depends what you need the portability for. If you need just something to take notes on and surf the web then I'd put $1500 into a...

I had several issues relating to updating drivers and wifi speeds after upgrading so I rolled back. I'll just wait until everything gets fixed before I upgrade.

That would be great, thanks. What do you mean by bloated? Did it not feel as fast as you thought it would?

I just checked and the samsung transfer comes on a disk and I don't have a drive, so how should I go about cloning?

I'm buying a 500, with 440 used on my current, but I plan on deleting approx 100gb worth of games that I don't play any more before the transfer, and I have about 200gb worth of music that I want to keep, but don't need on the SSD (currently rocking spotify premium). How can I wipe the old...

If you can afford a hard drive enclosure and aren't scared of opening your old laptop this should be possible. Buy an enclosure like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1K62TN6603 Dig your old hard drive out of your old laptop and put it into the enclosure (Make sure...

I own a lenovo Y50 and I'm a fan. The screen doesn't get super bright but I've never had any complaints about reliability / color accuracy /ghosting etc. I am using the non-touch model, however. Make sure that your design school actually has you run the program on your own computer. At my...

I'm looking to upgrade my standard hard drive to an SSD, and I think I've got the process down, but I want to make sure I don't mess anything up. 1. The Lenovo Y50 has a 2.5" hard drive space (I think, how can I confirm?) 2. I buy an SSD like this one...

lenovo y40 is a good place to look, and with sales it ends up being sub-1000 (don't buy unless its onsale, they are frequent, and keep an eye out for coupon codes, business or student discounts). Is pretty thin and has good battery life for being a gaming laptop. The only issue he might have is...

I'm looking for a good way to protect my laptop; are there any good brands for protective sleeves or carrying cases? I want to be able to fit the laptop, including the sleeve/carrying case in a backpack (but really size is my smallest concern), and I want to sleeve/case to be protective enough...

I would recommend lenovo because, as of right now, they have a massive summer sale. The lenovo y40 is only $800, which is a steal. For long term usage, and with no gaming need, ultrabooks are the way to go. She should want an SSD for sure, and probably a fourth gen i5, as this would get great...

A lot of times I'll get an error message when I'm playing games that "windows is running low on system memory, close the following programs" I know games use a lot of RAM so I'm ok with that, but is there any reason this is bad? Will this hurt my computer? Should I ignore the messages? should I...

I've been using the new lenovo y50 for a while, and when I first got it everything was blurry. I went into the control panel and made everything run smaller (under display, make text and other items larger or smaller). the original setting was medium and I bumped it down to small. It seemed to...

that one lacks a graphics card, just saying
