Some laptops have a industry "standard" type slot called MXM, which would make it upgradeable. Unfortunately, from what I've looked up on that Asus, the slot in that laptop uses the same physical connector, but flipped. So, it isn't MXM compatible. It only uses Asus proprietary GPUs, which...

That is for specific mobile GPUs. You cannot use it with just anything. The power delivery system wouldn't be able to handle it like a normal slot. I don't know what that laptop power delivery system could sustain, but to power a desktop GPU, it would have to deliver 75W, and that is just...

Thanks. That Lightworks looks nice, but is too limited in the free version. I might need to get footage from my dashcam for evidence in a crash, so I need to save it locally. However, the other lists (don't know why I didn't see those lists when I tried looking it up) were helpful. I think...

I'd like to find something that I can use to edit footage from my dashcam, saved as an avi file, and post it to Facebook or Youtube. (I'd love to shame certain people that I have seen do really stupid things repeatedly during the morning commute, and have the dashcam footage to prove it.) I...

audio would be handled over the HDMI connections, so no worries there.

I'd say contact Samsung support for a repair or replacement.

No, that would not work. If you are using an external tuner or playback device, you can get a HDMI splitter like this: https://www.amazon.com/HD-102-Powered-Splitter-Certified-Support/dp/B005HXFARS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1483128739&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=hdmi+splitter&psc=1 If...

oh, really? I hadn't tried it on Windows, only Linux, and even then only a couple times. Ah, well. It was a suggestion.

It's not free, but I've always enjoyed Nero's BluRay player. As far as free ones, there's VLC Player. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html It's a little spartan, with no keyboard controls, but stable and reliable, with little bloat.

I highly recommend Zoom modems. I have had 2 over the last 12 years, and if the first one hadn't been struck by lightning, I'd probably still have it. The current model is this one...

How would it lock up Blizzard games? Those are kept on Blizzard's servers. Wouldn't they just be accessible from another machine?

With the trouble I'd had with BitDefender over the last 5 years, I've already moved away from them. The latest problem I had was it would hang one core on my processor at 100% usage that hold the whole processor at max speed. It was killing my power bill. The previous incidents of identifying...

If it hadn't been an AT&T exclusive, I would have considered the Fire Phone, and rejected it in favor of my Lumia 925, but hey, it would have been in the running.

With a processor architecture change, it is highly recommended that you totally reinstall your OS from scratch, no matter if you have visible problems or not. It won't support the whole instruction set of the new CPU with the config left over from the old CPU. With the Asus AI suite, I had...

These guys have earned the wrath of the Secret Service. They will be hunted down now, there is no doubt. They'll be crucified even worse than Lulzsec. The Secret Service is even more capable than the FBI in investigation skills.
