    Solved! Does the Surface Book 2 only support the official Microsoft Surface Dock? Is there no way to get another USB C dock to work?

    I purchased [this Acer USB-C dock]. It does not provide charge to the computer, data, or display to external monitors. My friend said that sometimes computers and/or docks are locked to only work with their brand. The Acer promises "best compatibility with Acer laptops" but nothing else seems to...

    Looking to buy a Surface Pro 1 for digital art, but wanted to check in on other options?

    Yeah I was also looking at the Tab, but as you say it doesn't run true Photoshop. Do you guys think the used prices will go down with Black Friday or should I just go ahead and pick something up now?

    Looking to buy a Surface Pro 1 for digital art, but wanted to check in on other options?

    I am buying a tablet and it must have 2 things. 1. Windows so I can run full version of Photoshop. 2. Pressure sensitive pen support so that I can do digital art. I'm looking at getting a Surface Pad Pro 1st generation for 475 usd on ebay, used. Any better deals I should be paying...

    Buying a Tablet PC for Digital Art: Is 1.2ghz solo enough?

    Basically as the thread title says. I am buying a Motion LE1700 tablet pc. Its kind of a budget alternative to buying a wacom Cintiq, and while it doesnt' have as many levels of pressure it's a whooooole lot cheaper. The Motion Le1700 is unique in being one of the only tablet PCs with Wacom...

    Buying a new Laptop: Is the I5 worth it?

    Well, I am planning on mostly playing TF2, so I don't need real super high settings. I checked the fps for the two using Left for Dead as a baseline. On high settings, the stronger one was 58 while the weaker was 48. Only 10 frames per second. Is the I5 going to make the power supply waste...

    Buying a new Laptop: Is the I5 worth it?

    So I have narrowed my search down to two laptops. I bought a laptop earlier this year, and it was stolen. I decided to wait for summer, to let the tech improve, so when I bought another one at least it would be a little faster. The new Intel cpus are out and I am wondering if it worth it...

    How do I play my own dvd movies on the computer?

    You put the dvd in the CD-rom drive. Then, if you have windows, you open up windows media player, which is the thing that plays music. Then you should hit the "now playing" button and select the name of the dvd. That should work, though thats really a problem you should check with a live person...

    Mic problem. Gamecom 367 Plantronics headset and Realtek driver

    I am having my Gamecom 367 headset. It started out fine. Then it got super quiet. Now its not recording at all unless I blow really hard into the mic opening directly, and even then its really soft. I think it might be a driver problem. I have Realtek driver, and I have had some registry...
