    I bought a new laptop, my first laptop ever, is this normal?

    well desktop or laptop you make a lot of heat. jam all those components in to a tiny space and then make them work hard to run a game, and yeah, its going to get hot. and though i've never owned a laptop, i know they get hot. thats why that cooling pad product even exists. and i often see...

    Touchscreen and Touchpad misbehaving after SSD install?

    sounds like a driver issue. have you tried looking for the touch interfaces in the devices list and checking for driver updates?

    Why gaming laptops have so bad battery life?

    also be aware that when a company puts out specs on stuff like battery life, its usually under specific low power conditions to make it sound better. lower brightness than you'd be comfortable with is a good example. but lifespill is definitely right. macbooks are super engineered to use just...

    Is Windows Defender good enough?

    personally im happier with having a free antivirus on top of it. its no more hassle beyond installing it, and even though im perfectly internet literate and know what a dangerous link or wesite looks like, thing happen to everyone. i've had issues in years before that were a LOT of work to...

    verizon galaxy s6 cant log in to wifi after update

    so, heres my problem. used to be when at work, to use the wifi i would turn on my wifi and it would connect to the open "public" connection. a moment after that, it would pop up a notification asking for the username and password. type them in and im good. now, it just endlessly attempts to...

    why does a microphone make that high pitched noise

    this is called a feedback loop. whats happening is your microphone is picking up the speakers its outputting on. so you talk in to the mic, it comes out a speaker, the mic picks that up and amplifies it again, it comes out the speaker again and the mic picks it up again and on and on and on...

    Is it a good time to buy VR ready Alienware 15r2 for around 2000$

    honestly, all we really have right now are reccomendations for hardware. we dont have finished products, or a lot of media to test on them. and honestly, getting the amount of horsepower you'd want for a decent experience in a laptop is going to be expensive. a quick google showed me models...

    Does anybody know if there is a program that will communicate with my phone from my PC so I can text from my PC?

    honestly because im too lazy to get up out of my chair and go get my phone from my bedside to look at a text i probably wont even want to reply to. its just easier to have it pop up on my screen like a steam message would, and reply if i want to. to clarify, its routing to the phone, not the...

    Does anybody know if there is a program that will communicate with my phone from my PC so I can text from my PC?

    pushbullet. loved the hell out of it, but they recently introduced a pay model. free still works, but i think theres a limit to how many texts you can do a month. but i think its like 3 a month for the paid model with unlimited use? if you're going to use it a ton i dont see that as...

    Which one to go for? £50 difference, want most bang for buck

    laptop grade cpus tend to be in the 1-2ghz range. there are much higher end(and thus much more expensive!) laptops with desktop grade cpus in them, some even with desktop gpus now, but as i said they're much more expensive. thing is, you dont always use that horsepower. your cpu rarely is at...

    Which one to go for? £50 difference, want most bang for buck

    well its seems they're identical beyond the amount of ram and storage. honestly, 50 more for another tb of storage and more ram? i would personally think thats worth it. as for performance, they'll likely be identical in most tasks. the 1 or 2 tb of storage will not affect performance...

    Sound frequencies in games

    i would imagine the frequency range of any given headset will be far wider than what you'll encounter in game. i think you'll get more traction looking in to what functions and quality you want. read lots of reviews, and get an idea of the differences in cans, connectors, and surround types...

    Recommend a good gaming headset?

    i picked these in my own recent search: http://www.amazon.com/SA-903-Headset-Headphone-Earphone-Microphone/dp/B00H8ND5AE i had never owned a set before, so honestly i really didnt know exactly what i wanted. i know i liked the look of stuff that cost 200 bucks, and that i i definately didnt...

    Cheap low quality HDMI cable mess up TV's input?

    well i dont know about that. maybe the connector on the end was bad? but i think like $10-15 is acceptable for an hdmi cable. but i'd rather take the risk of a crappy $2 cable, realize it doesnt work for some reason and go buy a $10-15 cable. i'd only be spending a total of 17 tops then...

    Cheap low quality HDMI cable mess up TV's input?

    not that i've heard of. you do not need to spend the 100 bucks the guy at best buy tells you is the best cable you can get. i spent 10 bucks on a 15 foot cable to run to my tv and its just fine. digital signals like hdmi do not suffer from signal loss through poor shielding and...
