Yes, I see where others suggested swapping cases at a minimum but will wait and see as none of my kids want a new or semi-new PS or Laptop....and some where at home still I have the stuff to build a new Tower with a fairly decent INTEL CPU. And I still have a ton of SSD's and the like just...
That's great news indeed. Thank you very much for your research, review and counsel.
I joined the ACER forum and they either are reviewing all my posts before they go public or it's sincerely slow....
One of my first towers was an ACER and probably still have parts from it somewhere. Owned a...
Once more into the breach...
In looking at my Newegg recent orders, I'm embarrassed to report it appears I bought two Gen 3 SSDs from them last month.
One was a 1TB and the other a 2TB - both INTEL.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this SSD looks like it's a 3rd.Gen?
(Intel 670p Series M.2 2280...
Sorry, another question.
I am also thinking about upgrading the RAM from 16 to at least 32GB, if not 64GB, as those prices have dropped as well.
This laptop MEMORY just popped up at Newegg for under $100 for two-32GB sticks (total 64GB) and wonder if they will work in this ACER???
Kingston...
That's very nice of you (again) and I'll look there.
It's just I already have the ones listed..LOL
And I just wanted to upgrade not only this laptop but a new ASUS Gaming Tower I also got for cheap BUT was informed it's a GEN 3, while these SSDs are all GEN 4._.
I Am hoping my kids can use...
That's what I feared about the heatsink. It's been awhile since I truly worked on a PC but as always, Anandtech community is there to assist!!
Thank you.
By the way, that WD seems to be quite the deal at Walmart BUT the Samsung 990 in 1TB was an even better one as I was able to use a coupon...
Ok, I was able to recently buy one of the ACER AN515-55-57C4 laptops on clearance at Walmart and would like to add or upgrade my storage, what with the prices of SSDs recently. Specs: 15.6" Full HD 144Hz IPS Display, 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10300H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti Laptop GPU, 16GB...
Actually, maybe just one 4K TV as I am alone at home now for first time in many years.
As for Ubiquiti, is this the right forum you all were talking about?

Thank...
Thank you again!
And I realize the variety of opinions but some have a hidden agenda buried beneath their review and even comments. HOWEVER, at places like Anandtech I have found more real, hands-on and less biased assistance - that's one primary reason I keep coming back here and have been for...
MXNERD,
Somehow I missed your reply.
I didnt buy all the MESH systems to try them all out, it's been my philosophy to buy first before they disappear from the shelf, research as I am doing here, and then return the ones I wont use or give/sell (at cost) to others.
Obviously the purchase last...
I just noticed my daughter's home has the ARRIS Surfboard AC1900 SBG6900-AC - which is a combo modem and router.
I have a higher end Linksys router but cant say what the model is as I'm not there!
More later.
I should have mentioned that I also have the Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh UAP-AC-M 1167 Mbps Single Port Gigabit Ethernet Wireless Access Point too!
Its pretty embarrassing that I bought those first two Ubiquiti devices without what the heck the one was...I know what a switch is at least.
And since...
The TP-Link looks promising but as to cost(s), the Google ran $75 each (I have two currently), the Velop ran me $74, the Orbi $99 and the ARRIS was $89 - before taxes.
And I am also trying to set up my children to future proof their home as my daughter now works at home but is really using...
My biggest concern now is which Mesh WiFi system should I keep for myself and then for my daughter.
My home is smaller BUT is using (currently) a lot more wireless devices AND I stream ALL my TV - a lot in 4K. I recently discovered poor download speeds and lower signal strength in master...
Between all these recent STAPLES deals regarding Ubiquiti networking deviceS AND all the WALMART MESH ROUTER deals, I am going nuttier!!!
Why?
Simple, I currently have a piecemeal local network that has a BUNCH of devices utilizing it and I know it can run much better for my streaming services...
AN UPDATE.
Well, I have restored and updated the Lenovo 330. I then created a backup on a USB dongle, so it's ready to go - except Lenovo said it's out of warranty. I guess that since it's a floor model, they activated it. I did buy an extended warranty so hopefully it's covered....
As for the...
Well, the restore program from Lenovo appears to have worked!
In addition, I had a working 330 model that I was able to compare BIOS's with and most were the same; just a couple of differences since the working one had updated it's firmware (and BIOS).
I was able to then update Windows 10 Home...
Thank you.
That's what I have been doing over past two years for two HP OMEN gaming PCs and a couple laptops. And if you check my history, two years ago I got my son in law a HP Star Wars laptop from Walmart where I had to clear the crap demo stuff BUT that was easier. It had a partition and...
Well the Lenovo was a “deal” for around a $100 but I did think it had already been cleared - my bad.
I was able to register it AND download the restore and install it on a USB dongle but too much going on today to work on it. Hope to tomorrow night.
I did read somewhere that I ought reset in...
I read you both. I doubt if I get a new laptop in the near future so I am trying to make the best of a credit at Amazon.
As for my other PC, the HP Omen, criminy it’s fast, so I am rethinking adding more Ram there.
My big problem right now is similar to the last big ask I had here two years...
LOL. Probably nothing but you know how guys can be...just trying to future proof the PC but not sure I need to as it is fast.
I do not game.
I do use it to edit videos.
I do play Solitaire....
;}
Been running tests to see what is already installed in my HP Omen 870-2XX {a Walmart special} and when I go to sites like Crucial, Amazon etc., they do not register the HP model BUT suggest it has two 8GP modules of DDR4-2400 and can handle a maximum of 32GB...
So, I run scans...
Been away from all this for awhile but feel you all have helped in the past and (hopefully) can assist me now.
I currently have the LINKSYS EA8500 and a NIB ASUS TM-AC1900 (T-Mobile deal) and a NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK AC2100 to be delivered tomorrow from Staples.
I would love to read or hear from...
Well, I am not totally sure about this for after several hours of updating, it appears I have restored the laptop to its original status BEFORE WalMart set it up!
Right now it is updating Windows and the desktop is new, along with none of the crap WalMart had on it!!!
And, it appears I am the...
Sorry, my first attempt to post contained a "fifth" mistake and that was I am past the time period where I can return it. Way past it as I thought it would be "easy-Peasy" to fix (fourth mistake)....
I will attempt the latest restore as I did see that option come up when I used the F1 or F11key...
Maybe I don't know how to create a bootable ISO disk - I have tried twice with it continuing on as before. And I am wondering if the issue is that the two programs above might not work with Windows 10. I will try later...
First, upon powering on or restarting, you see the HP logo, then the circle of dots blow that, then blank screen, then PLEASE WAIT, then a name od someone with a picture and then right onto a limited desktop with a STAR WARS character's picture.
If you click on the WINDOWS icon in lower left...
Try this again.
I am not sure if this is correct forum nor where else I should turn to.
Background. I purchased a floor model HP laptop (first mistake) from Wal-Mart (second mistake) that contains an Administrator Password (third mistake) that no one at Wal-Mart knows as I thought it would be...
I am truly having senior moments today.
First I am at work and walk down the hall to ask someone a question. Then I can't remember what it was. Stand outside her office and finally realize the question and it wasn't even for her. Nevermind.
Then I see a post on Facebook where someone is...
