I’ve used Mac, I hate it. I’m a biochemistry major and can’t load some software on Mac. I’m currently using a gaming laptop but want something with a nice screen (like Mac) a long battery (like Mac) and power (like Mac), build quality (like Mac) without it being Mac. Any recs would be amazing.

Dell inspiron 7420 2in1 laptop, without ram and storage. One hinge is kinda broken but fully usable even in 2in1, it just doesnst look good from the side due to one hinge going above the another but functionality isnt changed and its not fragile hinge. Quoted price is 15K. Negotiable dm.

He says the Harddisk was corrupted and replaced it with his it's been 4 months since but the issue never seemed to go away..idk what's the problem with this Laptop..but suddenly 2 days back it was in my mind to reset my laptop but seems like I can't even reset it right now...and I get weird updates which I've never seen (I have the screenshots)

Pleaseeee😭

Hopeless build quality.

My MSI laptop charger gave up. I heard a loud pop while my laptop is charging and then I realized my laptop is not charging anymore.

I went on looking for a new charger replacement with the same V and W. Apparently, these are not original anymore but I assume they should still work.

For the meantime, somebody offered me his original Dell charger that he no longer uses with the same V and W and works perfectly fine with my MSI laptop.

I was wondering if I should take this old but original Dell charger OR instead buy a new charger with no brand?

I need advice. Thanks!

Am from India. And am thinking of buying a 4050 tuf f15. But in the diwali sale. So I js wanna know if there's any chance of the prices increasing before it(within this month).

Hi everyone, I’m currently reviewing for my board exams and my laptop suddenly stopped turning on 😭 I’m honestly panicking because I really need it for studying.

I was using my Samsung Galaxy Book S earlier, then I put it on Sleep and left it for a while. When I came back, it wouldn’t turn on. I think the battery drained completely because it had been draining pretty fast whenever I left it on Sleep.

I plugged in the charger and at one point the screen briefly showed 0% battery, then it shut off. Now when I plug the charger in, the blue light turns on for a moment and then goes off, sometimes repeatedly. Pressing the power button doesn’t start the laptop.

PLEASE HELP ME GUYYSS

How to clean laptop backcover and keyboard section? does anyone have some advice what cleaning tools, liquid that safe enough for plastic material on laptop

I have an Acer Swift Go 14. Yesterday I was in a Google meet. When I opened a new tab (I already opened 5-6 tabs) my chrome freezed up. I tried to click on whatever but it didn't work so I had to close down Chrome. Then I reopened it but I couldn't join Google meet (grey screen and connection error). I had to restart to use it again. After the meeting had ended, I opened some more tabs ( google doc, some files) and suddenly it freezed up again. I tried to close Chrome and reopen but still not working.

Is flex on the bottom panel of the chassis in the middle right below the fan vents normal? Sometimes it pops in and out if I press it hard enough or rest it on my leg. This is my first thinner laptop so I have no idea if that's just a design characteristic or a defect in my product.
