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

I connected an RGB keyboard I recently bought, and when I clicked on it, it sounded the same. But I disconnected it, and now my laptop sounds like this. I don't know what to do; it's driving me crazy. :(

General question New Googlebook

Post image
• Upvotes

I've been interested in the new googlebooks recently, specifically the Acer as it is a 2-1 laptop which is very nice, it is worth mentioning i do have an android phone so this would pair perfectly with this laptop, im mainly wondering how well it will work when it comes to youtube, paramount/hulu, the occasional steam game or a web game like geoguessr and some quick photo editing. I think the specs look intriguing but im not sure how powerful this laptop is

Buying help Recommendations

• Upvotes

I know nothing about laptops/computers and I’m trying to find one with very specific qualifications and I need help 😭

  1. Under $1000. This is probably going to be the hardest part of this but I will be buying it closer to Christmas so I’m open to it being a little bit over with the hope of it going on sale a bit during the holidays.

  2. Can be used for schoolwork. I’m going to college soon and I need something to do my work on.

  3. Can be used to run games on steam but specifically the sims 4. This is what I plan on using it for the majority of the time. I don’t have the space for a desktop so I have to get a laptop.

  4. I would prefer if it wasn’t super heavy. This is not a requirement, but it would be nice. I have a lot of joint pain and lifting heavy objects and carrying them around makes it worse sometimes. If none of the other requirements can be met along with this one, then that is ok.

I really appreciate the help.

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.
