    Toshiba laptop won't turn on

    Good day. I have a 5-year old Toshiba Satellite P755 and it no longer turns on. Each time I hit the power button, the laptop turns off only after a few seconds. I think the problem has to do with the power supply (both charger and battery) since the laptop doesn't seem to have any problems with...

    Buy now or wait for newer model?

    They'll probably still keep innovating till robots and AI take over the world so the waiting will end there I guess :) but in terms of today, Intel has been trying to release new chips every year (look up the tick-tock initiative). Looking at the delay of the 5th gen ones, however, who knows...

    Time off from a computer. The reason why I'm getting a new laptop is because my old one is dying/dead.

    Buy now or wait for newer model?

    Read the same reviews too. If it lives up to the hype of being the fastest processor ever, at least for laptops, then I guess it'll be worth the wait :) Appreciate your answer! (Won't buy a puppy though) :))

    Buy now or wait for newer model?

    Agree :) and I'm guessing by the time the new version does get released, the older one will be a ton cheaper. The new one still fits my budget so it really is a matter of waiting or not. Thanks for your answer!

    Buy now or wait for newer model?

    Hello. Been wanting to buy a new laptop for a while now and have decided on the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro. Thing is, Acer announced that they are releasing an updated version of this laptop later this year with 6th gen (Skylake) processors. They also updated its design and seems to be overall much...

    Laptop won't start/boot. Keeps turning itself off.

    To add to that, it turns itself off while the laptop has just started to turn on so it is pretty cool when it dies out.

    Sorry to be ignorant here, but how do I reply to an answer on mobile? As you can imagine I posted this on my phone and am not familiar with the interface (can't find a reply to an answer button).

    Laptop won't start/boot. Keeps turning itself off.

    Yes. It has overheated in the past (over 100C at full load, both CPU and GPU).
