    Need advice regarding new laptop

    17 inch laptops are quite expensive, I'm not sure if you can get a good one at that price point. I recommend 15-inch laptops as the size difference is not that noticeable. Here are my suggestions: 1) Dell XPS 15 (with GTX 1050) 2) Dell Insipiron 7559 (with GTX 1050 Ti) 3) Acer VX-series...

    Laptop for Music Production

    The disk size is a bit small if you're going to be working w/ voice samples and other presets. I would suggest getting an external drive. Otherwise, this computer is fine.

    Nothing is wrong. Gaming laptops have bad batteries. Also, if you leave your device plugged in it will wear down the battery.

    Lenova T61 "fan error"

    First of all its "Lenovo", not "Lenova". Fan failure just means there is too much dust in the system, or the fan motor has died. Please open the laptop and clean out the internals and then test if the fan is working or not. If the fan still does not work then, you will need to replace it.

    Lenovo CPU/GPU/graphics switch?

    On this chip, the graphics units are a part of the CPU. To replace these you would need to switch out the CPU itself, which is not possible because A) it is soldered on and B) because this is the top-of-the-line chip that AMD offers right now. If this were a desktop you could easily upgrade...

    Core M is the same as a Core i3. The Core M saves more power by having a lower stock clock speed and smaller die size. In the $800 price point ASUS wins. Have you tried looking at the Microsoft Surface/Surface Pro Series? What about an iPad Pro?
