    Help with picking a new laptop for DJing/Photoshop

    Help with picking a new laptop for DJing/Photoshop

    100% what Kenton says about DJing software. It's surprisingly non-intensive. I started with Traktor in about 2008 with a Core 2 Duo and 2Gb RAM, ran with no issues whatsoever. Pretty much anything from the last 5 years will work without any issues whatsoever. I don't use Photoshop myself, but I...

    How can I make and SD card the default storage and download location on Android Marshmallow (ver. 6.0.1)?

    And it won't be there if you're using an LG or a Samsung phone as both manufacturers diliberately disable the feature.

    Laptop w/ SSD, number pad, and touchscreen

    How confident are you with computers? Because I was looking for something similar last year and my solution was to buy a cheap HP* Pavilion laptop, remove the optical drive and replace it with an SSD. It's literally one screw holding the optical drive in place, and a optical drive bay caddy for...

    Use any USB soundcard with RCA outputs, take an RCA cable and cut the connectors off at one end?

    No PICTURE on TV when connected via HDMI cable

    Instead of extended try setting it to clone. Windows key + p is quicker than going through control panel.

    How can I make and SD card the default storage and download location on Android Marshmallow (ver. 6.0.1)?

    Pretty sure Samsung disable adoptable storage on their phones, which means you'd have to root it.

    Upgrading CPU on ASUS laptop

    Your new laptop is an ultra low voltage laptop (CPU limited to 15 Watts). The U on the end of the 6500U = ULV. There are no quad core ULV processors. Your old laptop was a regular voltage 45 Watt mobile part.

    Upgrading CPU on ASUS laptop

    I guess hypothetically it's possible. I found this on YouTube, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EWqWj2srg But you already have the fastest processor, I think, i7s are the top end chip, there isn't anything faster to upgrade to.

    Upgrading CPU on ASUS laptop

    Absolutely not. Even if you could swap out the CPU, which may or may not be possible on your laptop (I think not, the 6500U will probably be soldered onto your motherboard), they're chips from completely different generations. The 6500U is Skylake, the 3610QM is Ivybridge.

    Any way for motherboard S/PDIF to nVidia HDMI

    This is literally impossible. If you're, for example, watching a movie with DTS sound, DTS is DTS. What cable you use to transmit the DTS is completely irrelevant. HDMI is superior because it supports lossless audio. S/PIDIF can only transmit heavily compressed (lossy) audio because it has very...

    Any way for motherboard S/PDIF to nVidia HDMI

    Now I'm even more confused. Audio over HDMI is vastly superior to audio over SPIDIF, and you appear to be saying that audio over HDMI works just fine with your Onkyo receiver, so I still don't understand what you're trying to achieve, why is SPIDIF even a consideration?
