I've been to these sites you gave me and there is only pre-build and no options to build by myself

I agree with you 100% about good laptop costs 1000 USD and more but I may have only 530 USD when things go bad. If they go well I would have 1200USD.

Could You tell me what to gun for with 530USD (what Brand and other things) and what for with 1200USD?

Sager is not pre-built that I know of, they sell barebones(this means the basic system without the processor, RAM and storage, basically just the skeleton, only the motherboard with no other hardware, hence "barebones") laptops that you have to choose the CPU, RAM and storage that you want them to put in it when you buy it.

MSI offers pre-built laptops but they also offer barebones that you can choose the CPU, RAM, storage and display type that you want.

Lenovo sells pre-built laptops, but they also offer customizable/upgradeable laptops, with these you can choose the size of the laptop, the CPU, RAM and storage that you want.

Alienware sells pre-built systems, but they are also upgradeable, you can put whatever compatible CPU you want in it, same goes for RAM and storage.

In my honest opinion, you are being way too selective about choosing a laptop for the amount that you are trying to spend. If I were you, I would choose one of the customizable laptops that has the option to upgrade the processor. You can initially buy it with a low cost processor, one stick of low priced RAM and a small hard drive, this will keep the initial cost lower. Then after you purchase it, you can buy the processor of your choice later then upgrade RAM and upgrade to a SSD, when you can afford them. You can spread those upgrades out over a few months to a year. It will cost more in the end like that, but, it spreads the cost over time which is easier to afford instead of all at one time because you can't afford the high cost of everything at one time.
[Off-topic] androidbadboy:
The second part - I 100% agree with spreading upgrades over time.

But the first part I dont get it. I was on your websited and I only found ready laptops like in electornics shops in malls. Not customizable barebones. Can You make a ss and guide me to it?
[Off-topic] Droidriven:
This is the official MSI website, if you look, you'll see a list of options, in these options, you choose the screen size/type, CPU, GPU and other "special" features.

https://us.msi.com/Laptops/

This is the official Lenovo website, if you choose the "filter by specs" option, you'll see a list to choose the various specs you want it to have.

https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/c/LAPTOPS

This is the official ASUS website, if you look at the very top of the page, you'll see the various series of mobile computing devices they offer that you can scroll sideways through. Scroll them across looking for the series that draws your interest, then, it will show you what they offer in that series and what the specs are.

https://www.asus.com/us/Laptops/

Look, read, research, try choosing the specs that you would like your system to have, get an estimate of what that would cost, get an estimate from a few sources. If it is more than you can afford, go back through your options choosing other options instead, try finding a "recipe" of specs that is within your budget. Just make certain that you DO NOT choose a laptop that has the CPU soldered onto the board, these can't be upgraded. It has to have an actual CPU socket with removable CPU.
[Off-topic] androidbadboy:
1. Thank You for the links and describtion. Now I have that and I can choose.

2. All of the have a CPU soldered into the board.

3. None of them are barebone cause barebone is NoName casing with stuff that I choose to get inside right?

4. The links give almost the same thing that You would get from Internet shop. In Internet shops You can choose, screen size, CPU, memory and much much more.
[Off-topic] Droidriven:
Not all laptop motherboards have the CPU soldered to the board, you have to be selective if you want to find a model that has a CPU socket that the CPU can be removed from and another put in its place, just like you would on a desktop motherboard.

No, barebones systems are not no-name cases, they are cases branded by the manufacturer that you choose(i.e. MSI, Alienware, Lenovo, etc.), as stated already, "barebones" means it has no CPU, no RAM, no storage and no OS installed, that's all it means. Then you choose the CPU, RAM and storage that you want them to install in that barebones unit so that it has the specs that you want.

The links I gave you are the official websites of the manufacturers, they are not links to "internet shops", yes, the sites I gave you links to have options to choose your options like the internet shops do, but that doesn't mean they are selling the same thing that the internet shops are selling. No matter where you go on the internet, you'll have options to choose the specs you're looking for, how else are you going to find the laptop that you want?

You are really complicating this way too much and you aren't understanding what you're supposed to do with what I gave you to find what you're looking for.

It seems to me that you don't know or understand what you're looking at and you want someone to do the research and the thinking for you. I'm not doing that, you've been given plenty of information to find a laptop that is suitable for you. I suggest you go to those sites and make your selections of the specs until you find a laptop that has the specs and the price that you're looking for. I don't have anything else to add, I'm done running this circle with you, no matter what guidance I try to give you, you're still lost. Good luck, my friend, you'll figure it out.

hello my friends.i have laptop dell (vostro v130) with cpu (celeron u3600) with 2 gb ram ddr3...can i upgrade my cpu/ram for my little laptop ?exemple to intel i3 for the cpu and 4 or 8gb ram?tnx all
[Off-topic] Droidriven:
First of all, the CPU is soldered to the motherboard in the Vostro v130, it can't be upgraded.

Second, your laptop is too old for any upgrades to make a difference, there aren't any upgrades that are worth spending the money on, even if you did spend the money to upgrade the components, it wouldn't make a difference in that old laptop. You would be better served if you put your money towards getting a laptop that is not quite so old as the Vostro v130. You would just be wasting money if you bought upgrades for your v130.
[Off-topic] znayver:
tnnnnx a lot for this informations mr ...but for now i have no plan to buy a laptop i want just improve a little my laptop for my works.so the cpu cant be upgrade..what about the ram mr?what is the max ram for the dell vostro v130??i think celeron u3600 can take 8gb of ram.and the motherboard hm57 can take 8 gb of ram??or it can just take a 4 gb ram ddr3??
[Off-topic] Droidriven:
Yes, you can upgrade the RAM but it won't make a difference it won't improve your laptops performance, you'll just be throwing money away. That's what I'm trying to tell you, you will only be spending money for virtually no improvement. It would be like spending a lot of money only to make your car 5 mph faster. It just isn't worth it.

You would be better off to buy an SSD to put in your laptop, it would improve performance more than adding RAM would, you could add another 4GB stick of RAM.

But instead of buying those upgrades, you could take the money that you would spend on the SSD and the RAM and put a little bit more money with it and just get a better system for just a little more than what you would have spent on upgrading the v130.

The SSD and the 4GB of RAM would cost you around $130-$150 USD, you could put $100 USD more with that for a total of $250 USD and then you could buy a laptop that is much better than the v130, it will even be much better than the v130 even if the v130 already had the upgrades.

You have two options, you can spend money for upgrades that aren't going to really make a difference on the v130 or you could spend just a little more and have a much better laptop.

If you are determined to keep the v130, I wouldn't upgrade it at all, I'd rather save the money instead of throwing the money down the drain for nothing. It is your choice, waste your money on the v130 if thats what you want.

If you truly wanted advice, you would listen to what I'm telling you. But you don't want advice, you want to hear that upgrading your v130 will improve it, but the answer to that is......no, it won't make any improvement, especially not any improvement that actually matters.
[Off-topic] znayver:
i can just tell you (thaaaank youuuuuu verrrrry much)for all this information...so i will collect a little moneyi and take your advice and take an ssd+4gb of ram..and if i see a good laptop with a good price ill change my v130..tnnnnx a looooot again sir ????
[Off-topic] Droidriven:
Good luck, by the way, your system "might" be able to use 16GB of RAM, I have a Dell Inspiron laptop from about the same generation as your v130, the specs say my laptop will only support 8GB but it works fine with 16GB. You could get 1 or 2 sticks of 8GB RAM and try it with 8GB or 16GB, 8GB will definitely work, 16GB "might" work.

AAbout THE SCREEN OF LAPTOPS:

Which types of screens are from worst to best?

How can one know if a certain screen is ok (nice, readable) a not blurry?

For example I wanted my screen to be a 15,6" FullHD

In (not only) internet shops You can have tons of laptops with a description like this:

- TN (non-glare) FullHD 15,6"

- LCD TFT (non-glare) FullHD 15,6"

- .... etc.

I have seen a laptop in internet: major brand, mid/high-end with nice specs, perhaps overpriced. People gave it 5/5 stars. I went to see it (it was a rare opportunity for that) - it was very fast, had it all, even looked good - BUT... the screen..... was blurry (drivers properly installed, so it wasn't that). It had a screen of a low-end laptop - horrible!

Later it turned out the screen was "TN (non-glare) FullHD 15,6"".

In the same shop I have seen a 15,6" a FullHD screen that were just amazing and the whole price of the laptop was at least 1/2 of that of the previous one and with mid-end specs. It had LCD TFT (glare) FullHD 15,6".

So.... who can help?

Who can put screens in an order from worst to best (using the names and sructures like LCD TFT (non-glare)) that I could be better assured what I'm buying?

will Intel Core i3 8100 be unoticable, noticible, hugley noticible when browsing internet with 30 tabs always on than the Intel Core i3 6100 CPU?
[Off-topic] Ibuprophen:
Okay...

If you're in search of a way to Compare the 2 CPU's, the best I can help provide you with is the following link that compares the 2 benchmarks side by side.

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-8100-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6100/3942vs3511

When it comes to specific performance questions regarding any PC, it's really challenging to answer since the overall performance/speed of a PC isn't only focusing on the CPU.

There's other factors that you need to take into consideration like the Amount of and speed of the RAM, the overall size/speed of the Hard Drive (to also include how much space is being used on the Hard Drive as well, and so on...

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :thumbup:

Hey guys, I have a little problem with my HP Laptop.. When the AC is plugged in, the brightness is okay, but when unplugging the AC, (meaning using it on battery) the display goes to the lowest brightness setting even though it's still set to 100%.

Any help on this is appreciated :)
[Off-topic] Ibuprophen:
This is not uncommon for HP Laptops. The following may be helpful to you.

Go into your power savings settings and make sure the brightness is set to 100% by going into the control panel, click on Personalization, click on screen saver, click on change power settings and look in the advanced section for both plugged in and unplugged.

Note: Using the keyboard combination may work as well. While you're on Battery Power, first press the "Fn" key then (briefly press) the "F10" Key. You can just hold the F10 key till it reaches the maximum brightness too. This little shortcut "Should" also increase the brightness as well in the same manner.

Keep in mind that, sometimes, there's more than 1 location that controls certain settings either Directly or Indirectly.

Good Luck! :)

Even if you don't know the correct shortcut keys for your specific model, all Windows devices have the Windows Control Panel, all user/device settings can be modified through control panel regardless of who made the PC or which version of Windows is being used. Control Panel is the first place I would look if I didn't know how to access a setting any other way.

Hello,

Which combination is good?:

1) AMD: Ryzen 2700X + which motherboard + RAM2133MHz - how will it be slower than using 3800MHz RAM?

2) Intel i5-9xxx(K) + which motherboard?

3) What small 13/14inch laptop is good? Huawei MateBook D, Asus VisoRift? bigger Acer Nitro 5, Acer Predator, ther Acers 15,6 that have under it a place to cuickly change disk and RAM or Asus Swift 5?
[Off-topic] karandpr:
1.) 2133 and 3800 are both rare. According to reddit , 3000/3200 is the sweet money/performance for Ryzens. Depending on your budget get a B450 or Z470. Also depending on your choice of vendors go for MSI or Asus.

2) Probably a Z370 or Z390 ...

3) Thats too many models. Probably you should decide on form factors and performance first.

Actually, I want to run Ubuntu from USB, as in not installing anything onto my laptop's hard drive because I can't. That's the main problem. HP have some protection in the BIOS that Ubuntu can't detect the hard drive, therefore, I can't install anything to it. The BIOS don't have options to turn off the "protection", so my only option was to run Ubuntu off of a USB Flash drive. I would probably just use it for some simple coding because nano editor running from ssh sucks.
[Off-topic] shimp208:
For simple codding and similar things like that running Ubuntu off a USB should be fine. As a side note, I am currently dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 7 on my HP netbook but to do so I had to delete the recovery partition to make room for the Ubuntu partition. I wonder if this may be the reason why you can't install Ubuntu. If you send me a screenshot of your partition setup I can try and figure out what might be the problem.

Ah, I had one of those at work. The problem is that they install windows with a different type of boot sector (forgot what it's called) instead of the Master Boot Record way, which has been used for a while. If you are willing to do an experiment for me, clone your HD so you have a back up, format it with a different computer, in BIOS add an option to boot from HD (I think I typed in C:\WINDOWS), then try installing windows from the CD. If you install it with MBR, then you should have no problem installing Ubuntu after. IDK why HP did that since their new method is well tested yet, and is ****ing annoying.
[Off-topic] wlmeng11:
GUID? Both Linux and Windows support it.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Yea that was it, but stupid HP configured their BIOS to only support GUID. So basically you can't boot from a Hard Drive directly, it boots from a separate boot sector, which you can't get rid of.

Yeah, you can upgrade the ram to 16gb for roughly ~$70-$100 USD if you do-it-yourself. Just unscrew the bottom panel and you will have access to the ram slots. Be sure to buy 2 x 8gb, not 4 x 4gb as laptops only have 2 slots.
