Resolved: Reinstalling Win7 from backup on secondary drive

Is there a "problem resolved" feature on these forums? It at least appears that my issue is resolved without issue. I can't say how awesome it is to not have to RMA or buy another primary drive right now. My laptop is nice, but it doesn't keep up with my regular pc.

Updated to firmware version 10g yesterday. So far, at least 12 hrs of idling and other operation with no issues.

Resolved: Reinstalling Win7 from backup on secondary drive

It's about 10 months old and is still under warranty. I just don't think the inexpensive SSD's are going to be able to handle the number of read/write cycles I need from an OS drive. The drive that's giving me trouble is a Crucial M4 64gb. I've talked to at least 8 or so other people now who...

Resolved: Reinstalling Win7 from backup on secondary drive

This question is hopefully trivial for someone to help me with. If I wanted to wipe my current system disk and reinstall from a backup on a secondary drive, I know how to do that. But I need to know if I can just choose to install windows on said secondary drive and make it into my system disc...

Clevo W170HN - worth it?

I bought an NP5170 (Clevo W170HN) late last week. I'm probably looking at about 2 weeks from time of order to arrival. I stuck with the standard glossy screen, since I do not typically deal with bad lighting situations. The $220 might have been worth it, but the matte screens were backordered...

Clevo W170HN - worth it?

I've tried to find some direct comparisons of i5 vs i7 sandy bridge chips, but I'm coming up blank so far. Commonly available on the notebook I'm looking at is a choice of a 2.5 ghz i5 vs a 2.0 ghz i7. Faster i7 chips are available, but of course they are usually listed as $200+ upgrades. If...

Does this look like a good budget gaming laptop?

You and I are looking at almost the same laptop. It was STRONGLY suggested to me by a friend to look at upgrading the HDD to one of the Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drives. He said it was the best $50-75 upgrade he'd ever made in a laptop. I've not seen many negative reviews about sager's...

Clevo W170HN - worth it?

Yes I had noticed that. The $220 to do it seemed a bit much when added on top of everything else :( But thank you for the suggestion.

Clevo W170HN - worth it?

In January of this year my desktop spectacularly died in a power surge (protected by exterior surge protector and surge strip). I haven't replaced it, and now I'm planning to go desktop-free for some time. I need a laptop with a 17" screen capable of some light gaming, video editing/encoding...
