    GTX 950 (NOT 950M) in Laptops?

    I'd say it's most likely a typo. For reference the GTX 750 TI is basically identical to the GTX 960M so a desktop 950 would blow a 950M away. GTX 950s can be crammed into a 75W TDP, but that's too much for a laptop the size of the Ideapad 700, especially because it also has a 45W CPU. I own a...

    Tesla Self-Driving Death Needs to Spur Changes

    If you have to pay attention at all times, it's not an autopilot is it? Might as well just not spend the money on it.

    GTX 960m not detected after doing driver update through Nvidia Geforce Experience

    I actually had this issue with my Dell XPS 15, exactly the same symptoms. It turned out that the GPU had died, all of a sudden. I had to send the notebook back to Dell and they replaced the entire motherboard. If you're getting the can't find a driver error, even after trying to reinstall...

    Should I get a XPS 13 now or wait and get the new macbook air.

    If you plan on using Windows, I'd get the XPS 13. MacBooks get significantly worse battery life running Windows than Mac OS and you're better off with a notebook designed for Windows. If you prefer Mac OS, then wait for the new MacBook (it looks like there will no longer be an "air", it will...

    Dell Inspiron 7559 - Pros and Cons

    It's a nice package, just be prepared for the possibility of build quality problems. Dell is terrible for shipping out systems with major issues that need to be repaired. Of the last 3 Dell notebooks I've purchased 2 of the 3 had major issues that I had to have repaired. Brand new systems...

    Samsung HDMI Port Issue/Alternatives

    If it's a hardware issue, then your two choices are to try and get a local repairman to fix it (which may or may not be possible) or call Samsung and ask them what they'd charge to fix it. They're not really designed to be user servicable and generally entirely proprietary parts. It may be...

    Dell XPS 15 9550 VS MacBook Pro

    Buy the Dell, it's cheaper and doesn't run Mac OS. The GPU is more powerful and it's smaller as well.

    What does Dell XPS 15 (9550) silver model means?

    There is only one color available on the 9550, it's silver on the outside and black on the inside. I have one, it's very good for software development with its NVMe SSD and powerful processor and plenty of RAM. The 4K screen is quite glossy (it's covered in gorilla glass) if that's an issue for...

    Safe laptop CPU, GPU temperatures, need advice

    You're kinda stuck with the thermal performance the laptop manufacturer specced it for, the numbers you've posted are pretty normal for a mainstream notebook.

    Unusual issue: Re-install of optical drive screws up windows 7

    Reinstall graphics card drivers, if that doesn't work reinstall Windows. I suppose it's possible that he damaged the laptop when he removed the optical drive but rule out software first.

    Lenovo Y50-70 (Turbo boost) after waking up from sleep mode problem

    I've had this type of issue with laptops before, and it's been fixed with updated BIOS. You should try updating yours to see if it corrects your issue. I don't have this same model so I can't be sure.
