Definitely not, not unless I needed the laptop for school which you do. Even then however it's a terrible trade. Ask him to throw about $200 on top. You're going for half the GPU power. If he's really as desperate as he claims he'll at least go for a fair deal. He didn't buy that laptop last...

uTorrent's gone downhill recently, getting a little off topic. They've pretty much sold out, and people are getting malware from ads etc. and items which automatically try to download themselves. Everyone's jumped ship to more reliable clients like QBitTorrent, which get the job done without...

Not worth the extra cost, the Xonar is the best budget option, and all you need.

Yeah get the Xonar, it will help.

Fantastic, good to know. :)

This is a fantastic deal, and a top notch camera for the money. Requires you to spend a bit more, but also comes with all the accessories you'll need which is worth considering. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073J26G65/ref=twister_B00U5UAI7K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Here's another option, comes with a...

Just sounds like the whole circuit sheet thingo inside the keyboard might be stuffed on one side. If the ribbon replacement doesn't work you're looking at a new one.

I'm suggesting a 7700HQ laptop, or if you can cope with it, an ITX PC if it needs to be mobile between home and the office.

Change your realtek settings provided that's what you're using.

I assume you already have the R185s?

Hell I use a 13.6" laptop for Uni and I think it's plenty, but any bigger than 15.6 and you're hitting bulking brick size.

Most likely just a dead drive then, go into a local PC store, ask them to test it on their system to see if it's recognizing. If it's dead, you'll need to buy a new hard drive. I recommend a Seagate Barracuda 2TB.

Yeah, it'll be fine. On board sound is quite good nowadays. They come with a wired option if i'm not mistaken, so that should work nicely.

They're membrane keys, so I'd think that they're no longer properly conducting the board. Shake out the laptop, then place a towel on the ground. Swivel the lid so the laptop is opened flat, and leave it sitting face down for 12-24 hours before booting it up and trying again.
