    What sound system do I get?

    I found another receiver, Yamaha rx-v450 or rx-v465. Would they do fine? I do like the Black Pearl, and z906 are too expensive unfortunately and 5.1 does not fit in my room.. Thinking of the rx-v450 as it has optical in and isnt too expensive

    I have spoken to a guy that offers a set of Audio pro black pearl v2 with receiver at a price of 150 bucks. Apparently a great receiver but with defective optical connector. Deal or no deal?

    What sound system do I get?

    Hey! I have not bought a TV yet, throw me recommendations. Budget for tv is roughly 600 bucks. I want UHD, 55" and good UI. I'm inclined toward LG and Samsung, and have heard negatives about Philips. But please, if you would like to configure speakers and TV for me I would be more than happy! Thanks

    Definately, but going to university, I need the mobility of laptop. It depends how much theyll charge me to repair, but it honestly works fine as is. Was just curious if the old machine wouldve been worth it, but as expected it might not be. Thanks for the replies!

    Upgrade laptop, or no use

    I slipped on some mud and the screen shattered in the corner. It is black in roughly 1/7th of the screen, but fully functional. I can run apps in minimized Windows without complications, so ill stick to it. Try to get fixed off of my insurance

    Upgrade laptop, or no use

    The PC is 13xx*7xx res, but im afraid, as youre all mentioning, that the CPU is too poor for it being anything worth working on. Going from my i5 7200u, 8gb and ssd machine it feels like too little cake for my cash.
