ASUS is okay, but HP is better (if you want to choose from those two). Both of them look like they will do what you want them to do. However, it's only my preference, but I prefer anything off the Toshiba Satellite line. Well put together laptops, easy to fix and they use genuine parts (which...

This usually happens with a substitute power unit, don't worry, it's normal. In this link here, scroll down to the "calingasan" answer. That will fix this issue. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/ac-adapter-not-supported-fix.522640/

The times I have seen this is when somebody had a virus or they spilled something on their keyboard and it messed with the sensors. Have you gotten a virus recently that you know of? Have you spilled anything on the keyboard? Been through a power outage/bad battery?

Well, the link you sent me to looks like its the laptop keys making the bright spots, but it could be something else with yours. I honestly would have to look at it to make a good determination on what the issue is.

Not sure I understand what you mean about a bright spot on your screen. Can you include a picture of it? If I can help with anything else, please let me know!

Only someone that truly cares about their rig would write such a lengthy post. Kudos to you! 1. Best practices is to defrag once a month to keep your file structure in top shape. You can schedule this within the program if you want. 2. Maximizing battery life during usage is tricky, but...

I had a Toshiba Satellite that did the same thing. As it turned out, there was an option in the main page of the BIOS that was enabled for "Boot to BIOS". If it's not in there, check the boot options.

Does it work when just pressing the number 2?

No worries! Let me know if I can be of any further help! If you feel I have answered your question, please hit "best solution" on your way out. Thanks!

No worries! The bare minimum I would get is 6GB of RAM, an i5 processor (if you go Intel), and a 1GB ethernet connection. GPU is important, but when it comes to laptops, you can't really pick and choose that much. I would think if all you're doing is streaming, then whatever may come with the...

If all you're going to use it for is streaming videos and things, I wouldn't go higher than 8GB of RAM and an i5 processor. Anything higher than that would not have a justified cost. The other thing about streaming is your internet source, too, it's not all just your laptop. The top one that...

In this case, I would highly recommend anything from the Toshiba Satellite line. Their laptops are solid, they last, and they're easy to work on. I have a Toshiba Satellite that's six years old and it will still outbeat all the new stuff out there because I've taken care of it. Everyone will...

You are very welcome!

This could be one of a few issues.. - Have you checked the power settings within Windows when it comes to charging? They have specific options in there for charging options depending on the situation. - Can you go into the BIOS and confirm the charging options there?

Two things here. 1. You actually did confirm the HDMI port transfers out audio on this unit, yes? Some do and some don't, an HDMI port itself does not necessarily mean audio transfers. 2. You said you downloaded the drivers, but did you download the video/audio package available for that...
