Open Question: Can someone help me find a laptop with these specs.?

I am looking for a computer with the following hardware specs. I can't find a computer with all of them. The closest I got was the Sony Vaio E series and the Dell XPS 14. However, both of them don't come with the 1080p touch screen I want. Here are the specs. Any recommendation for a brand or specific computer would be great. Thank you so much for your help! SPECS: - Windows 8/Windows 8 pro - 13-14.5 inch laptop - 1920 X 1080 (or greater) touch screen - Either AMD or Nvidia integrated graphics. A mid-range card with 1-2GB GPU will suit my needs. -Back lit keyboard - At least a 500gb SSD, or a HDD/SSD combination drive. 500gb SSD's are expensive. I could settle for a 256 if all other needs are met - 8 or more GB of ram - Intel i7 quad core processor -6hr or more battery life -I would like it to be somewhat thin. I doesn't have to be a Macbook Air, but something like the Dell XPS 14 would due. P.S. I already asked this question and the two answers I received where a negative review of Windows 8 and links to the Sony E series. I already know I want windows 8, and I already know about the E series. Please keep to the question. Thanks again :D more

Open Question: Why do my USB ports have sudden failure?

Alright, this is going to be a little long, but please read all the details. My system information is: Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extream4 CPU: AMD Phenom II quad core processor PSU: 400 watt RAM: 4Gbx2 1600 DDR3 G.Skill Ripgaws Storage: 1TB HDD GPU: AMD XFX Radeon 7770 1Gb The problem: I fixed my computer in my bedroom. It had completed POST successfully. I decided to boot it with a USB using Ubuntu. I got Ubuntu successfully installed, and saved. My keyboard and mouse both use two USB ports. I moved it into my living room, and connected everything as normal. I didn't drop my computer, and nothing changed with the exception of locations. I plugged my keyboard, and mouse into the front pannel USB ports, and it worked somewhat. My keyboard wouldn't respond to any keys, and my mouse worked, so I thought I'd switch places. I switched places, and now nothing works any more. I can't use my keyboard or mouse on other computers. Now, can someone please explain this mystery to me? Thank you in advanc. more

Open Question: Are these parts good/compatible?(PC)?

Okay so I'll put it in bullet points. -Making a gaming computer that works with max graphics -Trying to make cheap (About $800 is the MAX I will go in main parts. NOT including monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers) -The combination I have already people have said is bad, good, horrible, awesome. So I need to know how fast the computer will run.

Open Question: Will an AMD chipset run alongside a nvidia graphics card?

I am currently considering purchasing parts and building my own computer and I have become stuck as to which card I should be choosing. I am eyeing 2 cards, one by AMD and one by nvidia with nearly identical performance but the nvidia card is slightly cheaper. The problem comes when I consider the fact that my motherboard will have an integrated AMD chipset (760G-ATI Radeon 3000) that is said to be able to run alongside a discrete graphics card for increased performance. I would just like to know if it would run alongside a nvidia card and how much of a performance increase could I expect from the chipset and discrete card. more

Open Question: A question about computers?

Currently I have a 13" Macbook Pro, which is 4-5 years old. I'm ready for a new computer. Basically, I bought a GoPro, and I would really like to occasionally edit HD video (my macbook can't handle it) and I want to play the elder scrolls online when it comes out, diablo 3, league of legends, etc… Now, I get a discount on Dell computers through work, so I went online and fake built one. My pricepoint would be between 800 and 1000 dollars. I got an XPS with an i7 processor which they said was 3.9Ghz, it comes with a wired mouse and keyboard, NO MONITOR, windows 8, 1 month trial of microsoft office, 12 months of macafee, 8GB of DDR3 ram which I upgraded to 24GB of DDR3 ram for an extra $360, a 16x cd/dvd burner, a 1TB hard drive which I upgraded to 2TB for an extra $72, an AMD radeon HD 7570 1GB GDDR5 video card which I "upgraded??" to an NVIDEA GEforce GT640 1GB GDDR5 for an extra $72 (I have the option to upgrade one more time to a NVIDEA GEforce GTX660 1.5GB GDDR5 for another extra $192, which IDK anything about, worth it?). Basically after all of the fake building I did the total came to 1,271.99. Now that is a little out of my price range for a PC with no monitor, but idk. If it's really what I need for what I want to do, I'll shell out the extra cash. Basically what do you guys think? You're much more versed in this kind of stuff than I am. For a novice video editor, just wanting to get started, and to have a OK gaming computer, do you think it's overkill? Is there anything I could shed to save some money? They offered 8, 12, 16, and 24 GB of ram which gets more expensive as the size goes up, should I shed some cost there? Do I need a 2TB hard drive? What about the GPU??? What do I do guys??? more

I do some gaming time to time, with all the latest games like far cry 3, dead space 3 and rage. My current laptop lags sometimes on these games, my current rig is a HP Pavilion DV7 4120eb: - 6 gb of ram - 640 gb hdd - AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5650 - AMD Athlon II P340 dual core 2.2GHz processor. I would want to buy a Lenovo IdeaPad G780: - 8 gb of ram - 1 tera hdd - Nvidia Geforce GT 635m - Intel® Pentium® B960 2.2 GHz processor I am concerned about video performance and processor.

Open Question: Best AMD processor for gaming?

Hello, I am an avid 15 yr oldteen student-pilot who flies a Cessna 150. I also am obsessed with Flight Simulator X. I am saving up my money for flying after I get back from my Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program in Germany for 11 months. I was wondering what would be the best Processor to buy to make my gaming for Flight Simulator X superb (Performance and Visual Maxed out). I want it to look as realistic as possible. I own an online PC repair business (that I started) and am very knowledgeable about PC's so I will understand the Computer Language. I would like something that is overclockable to be 4.5 gHz at the least, but maybe even a 4gHz would be good (without over clocking). If I over clock, I need something that can cool it in a small ATX case. If I can't fit a cooling system, is there anything stable at 4 gHz or above? I don't need something with 10 cores or whatever, two would be sufficient, becuase FSX uses 1 core. The game is all about CPU, not GPU. BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE THAN $140 UNLESS IT'S SO GOOD THAT IT WILL BE AMAZING :) Here are my PC specs:Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8 gHz Regor 45nm Technology RAM 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 535MHz (7-7-7-20) Motherboard eMachines EL1352 (CPU 1)42 °C Graphics SyncMaster (1680x1050@60Hz) 256MB GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (Acer Incorporated [ALI]) Hard Drives 466GB Seagate ST350041 8AS SCSI Disk Device (ATA) Optical Drives HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH60N SCSI CdRom Device Audio Realtek High Definition Audio more

Open Question: Computer always uses 100% cpu?

Lately, my computer has been screwing around with me since the beginning of March (you can see what's happened through my previous questions, even though none of those answers helped me), but now, whenever I turn my computer on, it has the slowest boot time (black screen for 20 seconds then loads windows desktop). Not only that, but my computer ALWAYS uses the maximum cpu possible. When I check task manager or process explorer, they always use like 40 cpu. Sometimes svchost uses that much too. If i stop the process using the most cpu, another instance will just use as much cpu. I've already done a full computer antivirus scan and used MalwareBytes to scan the whole computer as well. Everything is updated, too. My specs are: AMD 2-core Processor Integrated Graphics card (HD 4200) 6 GB ram. Windows 7 I already tried removing the sticks of RAM (1 only; 2 only; 1 of each separate; etc), but that didn't help at all. My computer is clean from dust and such, and the fans are working fine. Also, this is a recurring problem: My computer sometimes might just completely lose signal with the monitor (the monitor freezes), and after a couple seconds, my mouse loses signal from the computer too (the red light that is powered through the computer is off). My keyboard, however, is on, but it doesn't work because the monitor doesn't display any actions. Any help?! I'm sorry about this long post, but this is very frustrating. Thanks for all efforts!Also, when I run the computer in safe mode, the cpu usage is NOT the same as normal boot. Everything is much faster, so i suppose the core drivers have nothing to do with the slowness of the computer.In msconfig, the only things checked are the ones that are requried, such as the OS or something. I uncheck everything that i didn't need, so there's only like, 5 that are checked. more
