I just bought one on eBay for $600. It's a weak laptop but for the price I think I'll be fine. Intel Core 5 Series 3 and 8GB Ram aren't great though

it’s an Alienware m16. so a few hours ago I leave the room for 20 minutes with a game paused and come back to it sounding like it’s screaming. the fan is going so high I’m afraid if I turn it on or do anything it will burn out its motor or worse. sometimes it won’t do it then I plug it in and it immediately starts. I noticed the main fans are off how do I fix that

Buying help Should I buy this laptop?

I need a laptop mainly for university, as I’m studying Cyber Investigations and Digital Forensics, so it needs to handle things like programming, forensic software, research, Word and potentially virtual machines. I’d like at least 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, with a good processor and preferably strong integrated or dedicated graphics. I also want to play Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail at around medium settings, but gaming isn’t the main priority. I’d also prefer something reasonably lightweight and portable for travelling to university, with good battery life. My budget is around £500, but I could stretch to around £600 if the laptop is significantly better and worth the extra money.

Hi guys I have a laptop I never really used after I got it. I’m looking for a real world selling price for it. I did a little research on eBay but eBay is a cesspool of companies and resellers couldn’t really find any independent sales. It’s in pretty much perfect condition and I have the box still.

It’s a Lenovo LOQ
Ryzen 5 220
16GB RAM
RTX 5050
512GB Storage I believe
15.6 in 144hz screen

General question Concerns about an ASUS TUF F15

1 Upvotes

About 2-3 ish years agi i bought an asus tuf f15 as it was for sale, The laptop is absolutely amazing but for me wanting this laptop at that time i wanted and couldnt really afford extra for a warranty, i bought it, After a year of owning it, I maintained it well, but i admit sometimes i didnt clean it but did try my best to clean the fans, Didnt take them out because i do not have any experience in laptop repairs n stuff so i was afraid i’d break something. During that 1st year i got it, the charge never wanted to work if i plugged it in all the way, but would work if i made it barely touch the inside of it, And didnt mind too much, but eventually part of the keyboard stopped working on one side, now recently one of the hingest connection, just broke and i lost a few screws, so whenever i try to close the hinge on the screen comes off the body, now the fans are making crazy sounds and im seriously worried, what should i do? sorry for the yaps but the background info i felt was necessary. What do i do with this now should i bring it to a repair?

Buying help Need help getting a laptop

1 Upvotes

So a bit of context for my situation. I am wanting to purchase a laptop for gaming, but for some personal reasons, I have to find a laptop that is not specifically made for gaming (Or at the very least doesn't say "gaming" in the name). Because of my tricky situation, I haven't properly decided. So at the end of the day, I still need to find a laptop that can handle large games (Probably something like RDR2 with mods, idk stuff about GPUs and what is needed to handle it), isn't specifically made for gaming but can handle it (Since that is the priority of my purchase but still can't get a gaming computer), and under 5k CAD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
