Thank you, budget wasn't really an object, it was more so the value for performance I was worried about. Dual Core honestly shouldn't even be a thing anymore in my opinion.

Hello Community, As I'm sure we're all aware, Quad-Core CPUs in laptops seem to be rare. You see, I am a firm believer in value for performance, and in my opinion, dual core processors just aren't it. So my question is, where is the budget line-up for real Quad-Core Laptops? I'm not looking for...

Any 'Thin' laptop will have thermal issues, well let's be honest, every laptop has thermal issues. The specs look good though I don't really see how it would be able to push 144 hz with a 1060, especially in a mobile chassis. As for the price dropping, I don't see that happening any time soon...

You're welcome! :)

You are correct. It is the HDD. The HDD is the slowest component on a computer. If you know how, you should create a bootable windows disk then install windows to a SSD. You won't ever go back.

1. Reinstall your BIOS from the msi web page. 2. Remove the CMOS battery and put it back in.

Okay, it is likely that the system files are corrupted for some reason. If you are getting as far as "inaccessible boot device" it could be either your computer failed to get permission to access the files you need, or the files you need are missing or corrupt. The easiest fix that would save a...

Did you reinstall windows after removing the HDD?

Okay, but remember to keep those CPU temps under 80C. Either that or change the paste often!

1. Well you already ruled out bad software or malware - with the reinstallation of Windows. 2. You have a general understanding of computers. You've tried power options, setting the PC to performance mode and all the works, etc. 3. Have you tried updating drivers and/or BIOS? [Driver Booster 5]...

1060 is a better graphics card, so you should go with the more expensive one.

This one goes only a tiny bit over that budget, I can keep looking if you want https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Gaming-Laptop-i7-6700HQ-15-6-GTX-1060-16GB-Win-10-250GB-EVO-1TB/283112079122?hash=item41eacb7f12%3Ag%3AVcAAAOSwZGRbU~kG&LH_BIN=1 This one meets your budget, is a little weaker though...

You want the best laptop possible for $1000 or less?

Honestly, I don't think that computer is worth you hard effort and time/money to get working. But if you really want to get it working above all else, I'd suggest underclocking your CPU in power options (Limiting processor power) in Windows. I did this to "fix" an old computer until I bought a...

Damn. I'm out of ideas to be honest.
