ENTERPRISE

Not ground-breaking news, no but hardware news nonetheless I guess.

Does this work ? https://forums.extremehw.net/followed/ This would follow everything you have followed, which include your created content.

I have a hard time believing that the 4090 will be close to what is being claimed, not with raw power. If they are using tricks like DLSS, maybe... but right now its all dreamdust.

I was also thinking that but if they are not great with tech, in some ways it is something else to learn which can be more of a headache than it's worth. Been there before haha.

Yeah anything GPU related for like the last 1.5 Years has been a little underwhelming. I cannot complain too much as I got LUCKY with my 3090 and getting it as quick as I did. Im not excited about the next gen either....only what Intel can bring. Nvidia will do much if the same (Releasing dumb SKU's and gouging) and AMD will continue being the "People's Champion" and giving users at least some respect.

The 3090Ti. Literally a doorstop at this point. I just don't see a space for it...plus it will unobtanium whether it be the shortage or pricing.

Yeah I was contemplating getting something from another country and shipping to him if it works out better.

That is all you can do really, vote with your wallet. Unless Intel really changes up its act or somehow blows AMD out of the water with a wicked price: performance I know I will be voting AMD with my wallet again on my new build.

Nice! Glad it all worked out smoothly. I forget about some of the native migration software that comes with some drives. For some reason I have been sceptical of them and always went a third party route.

I personally think its utter crap. The bottom line is companies gimp other product lines to push consumers to the more expensive option. This sucks but its the standard game we all have been playing. However what is not ok is removing compatibility/a feature after the fact. That is at least how I see this. It is like selling a car with a turbo...for the manufacture to revoke the turbo later. That by any standard is not ok. As others have said, Intel really goes the extra mile to push people to AMD. A little like Nvidia, I am waiting to see Intel do anything value added for its consumers.

After speaking with @A Zayed it looks like his old laptop screen has started working again, though likely temporarily. So he is holding off buying a new laptop for now, perhaps saving a little more so he can buy a more capable laptop as we have suggested I am not sure of the current specs of his machine, though the impression I get is that a new one is needed anyway as I think his current machine is a little old in the tooth.

@A ZayedIs a laptop screen replacement an option or did you buy a replacement laptop yesterday ?

Anything else available ? I think it could do for now...within reason but might be worthwhile going for something a little stronger.

He stated to me that the pricing is nuts online compared to the local stores where he can get a laptop from.

For sure, if you can get something to do it for free, then go for it. If it does not work out, you can always retry with another software. EaseUS use to have a few freebies back in the day but I guess they used that as the honeypot to grab people like myself. That being said, they have regular sales and I purchased their entire software suite (free lifetime upgrades) for next to nothing. I think it was like $70.

I agree for the most part, for general specs I would certainly consider: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 (4000 or 5000 series) or Intel Core i7/i5 (4 Core, Preferably 8 Core) GPU: Any CPU with IGP (Integrated Graphic) RAM: 16GB DDR4 Storage: 512GB SSD Screen: 15.6"+, 1080p+, 300+ nits, 72% NTSC/100% sRGB I would changed it for 16GB RAM minimum. I think that 8GB is a little lacking and moving forward 16GB would be a benefit. Taking a look at a reasonable retailer in the UK I think this is the sort of machine to go for/use on the more affordable end, for reference: ASUS K513EA Core i5-1135G7 16GB 512GB SSD 15.6 Inch Windows 10 Laptop Drawback would be the slower 4 core CPU on this model. For something a little more expensive but more capable and future proof I would look at the: Lenovo ThinkBook 15 Gen 2 Ryzen 7-4700 16GB 512GB SSD 15.6 Inch Windows 10 Pro Laptop

Hey guys, Apparently the market is very different in Egypt, as such 8000EGP is apparently good enough to get a decent midrange laptop from the local shops (not online). As such I think we should focus less on the budget given and suggest some decent midrange laptops for his use case for his reference. I will list a few ones that should do the job nicely.

He is actually in Egypt to be fair. So I translated his £8000 (EGP) to USD/GBP.

If the difference between an "OK" and Good laptop is a donation then for sure First lets get some options on the table. Im hoping to look a little later, just having some firewall issues.

Ohhh nice. I can certainly see why you reached out. Love that content

Hello all, Our developer who has tirelessly worked to bring tweaks and features to look life on the forums has hit a snag. His laptop screen decided to die. Ironically this has happened while he was working on our 2022 adjustments. He reached out to me for recommendations BUT, I thought what a great excuse to get everyone's input! His usage requirements are: *Web Development (Net Beans & VSCode) *Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator No set budget, but would like some ideas to go from. He doesn't play games, so that is not a requirement. Have at it guys. Thanks, E

Out of interest, how did you find us ? I assume word of mouth.
