I would think you could handle high settings in 1920x1080 and get good framerates. That isn't all that old of a processor, and even though it has a low clock speed, it's still a solid performer. And CSGO isn't a particularly demanding game in the first place.

We have no way of knowing whether or not the laptop is legally yours, we can't help you with this here. I'd recommend contacting ASUS or the store you bought it from.

Yes, but not directly. You'll need some sort of amplifier or head unit between the speakers and the TV.

I personally would just pull any personal information off the PC (documents, pics, videos, etc) put them on a thumb drive or external HD, then do a factory reset or a re-install of Windows. You could try and get an antivirus on there by installing it on a thumb drive then transferring it to your...

+1 for the Asus

You could run it, but it will run very poorly. I used to play CSGO on a rig with a celeron processor and 4 gigs of ram, but with a decent graphics card (Sapphire 7870) and I still barely got playable framerates. I imagine you'll have to play on the lowest possible resolution/settings, and you'll...

Bang for buck and Apple shouldn't be put in the same sentence together. Jokes aside, I don't know how prices are where you live, but I have a 2011 Macbook pro with an i7 and it gets the job done. You'll get much better performance for the same price out of a windows PC though.

My brother has the hyperx cloud, and I have the cloud 2 with 7.1 surround. I think there is a noticeable difference between the two, the cloud 2 being better. BUT, if I had the non-surround version I wouldn't spend the extra money just to get the surround. I would only recommend the cloud 2's to...

Looks like this is a common issue with these devices, acknowledged by Lenovo. Here is a troubleshooting guide I found relating to this issue. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht104227

For sure. You'll definitely see better boot times, and better load times with an SSD. I don't know if it will help a lot with multi tasking, but I imagine it'll feel like it's a lot faster. An SSD just gives an overall faster experience than a legacy drive, I would definitely recommend getting one.

Just buy an RX 470 or 570. My brother runs GTAV on an i3 6100 (which is slightly better than yours, but not by a whole lot) with a 1050 ti (slightly worse than the 470 or 570) and 8 gigs of ram, and he gets 60+ fps on high settings in 1080p.

I might look at your programs and features real quick before you do anything drastic. See if there is anything in there that you didn't install/want to install. Then check what your homepage is set to in your browser. I've dealt with a lot of malware, and sometimes it can change your homepage...

I've personally used both, and if someone offered me the choice to choose between the two, I'd pick the Vive. I played the Vive at a friends house with the roomscale and it was a really cool experience.

I'm gonna start off by saying that most of this is overkill, but if you like going overboard for a little more battery life, all the power to you. So there are a few key things to do when it comes to maintaining a battery. The first and most important, is to completely deplete the battery...

You can do it, but I wouldn't recommend it, I forgot to turn mine off last night after work and I smelled something burning in my room later that evening. Took the laptop out of the bag and it was cooking. Like hang said, better battery life if you turn it off, and less chance of your laptop...
