    Some keys on my laptop have stopped working after Windows 10 update (ASUS 1225b)

    Windows 10 is still a little baby >< haha, why not go back to 8 or 7 for now.. It does have the revert option. Obviously its issues with the windows update which you can't turn off. Has anyone tried to stop the windows 10 update via the service tab in task manager? how about blocking the driver...

    Reviews for the gigabyte p17f v3?

I found a great deal for this laptop... Do you think this laptop is worth the price? Gigabyte P17F Intel Core i7-4710HQ, 8GB...

    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    Generally speaking linux doesn't need any antivirus programs. But it is recommended if you swap files between windows and linux so the windows partition doesn't get infected and probably for browser protection. I've seen a few but haven't used any. F-secure, comodo, avast just to name a few ^^...

    Is it posible?

    I highly doubt that any virus on the pc will still be on it after a reformat. It completely wipes the hard disk so no. On the other hand if the files you backed up were infected and after reinstalling you copied your backups(documents, pictures, videos) that might be the reason the virus...

    Best Antivirus for me?

    I would stick with avast, it doesn't use much resources and you have basic maintenance features which help you keep it your pc fast and clean. Since you are willing to pay i would buy an avast product. Well that's just my personal preference. And just to let you know I stick my usb into a lot of...

    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    I use avast, Its safe and there is a free version. The paid version has more features but i think the free version covers all the needed basic protection. Its not irritating with pop-ups and neither does it hog the resources it sits there quietly.. sometimes i even doubt if its working the i...

    My bad.. seems there are a couple of threads with the same questions. But just out of curiosity is it just me or do others also feel that in general nvidia is a better dedicated gpu for laptops.. For me personally i feel the AMD gpus overheat a lot and sometimes have driver issues. What do you...

    Skylake-core vs i5/i7-4xxx vs i5/i7-5xxx or stick with current laptop :P. please advice
