Questions & Answers

I want to run an AS laptop with a second screen, but I'm not sure which one is best: lepow, Acer, etc. Which recommendations are worthwhile??

Regardless of what you believe, I use a Vizio 50.9" 4K TV as my second monitor in my Dell XPS. It might be a bit of a secret, but I think 4K televisions are as good as monitors for pretty much everything from standard gaming to the most intense gaming. To give 50" of awesome, I paid $400. Approximately how many millions is any monitor a lot monitors would be how many thousands? It's HDMI - mine is a standard cable. > You can pair it with a standard laptop and not have problems. Take it back if it isn't what you like. Get one from Amazon or Walmart. These 4K TV's have such nice frames of resolution, I will never go back to using a monitor next time. As a bonus, I'm sure tech geeks would be able to sort these comments. I don't see how that could be achieved. Almost all the clients who are interested in purchasing one of my monitors, one that fills my entire office and stays sharp, are really satisfied. Peace

This laptop may or may not be equipped any dvd player?

has just been plugged in, which works great when it uses USB port 23.

What color can I change the of the backlight keyboard?

You cannot use this feature on this model.

Do not buy if you are doing visual work anyway
3/5

A fake screen at the movies.   Seeing such a fake screen had me angry. Apparently it has a 178-view angle based on its description. It reads 178 on an IP address. The one I saw in 1997 had a 20 degree view angle. There may be an error in the system or a faulty screen. The 21st century marked the extinction of this screen. The color you are seeing on the screen is not apparent to you. There is absolutely no chance of it. If you are moving a bit, your screen's brightness will still change. From 5'3" 3'7", we are all in the same boat. I don't know what to say about it. No matter what position you are standing on the screen, the colors and brightness differ.

A review of God's holy book that is truly and sincerely honest
5/5

Ok. Talk to anyone. It has never been fluff or just fake optimism. The best place I have ever bought something on Amazon was this laptop for reasons I didn't realize. I bought it out of nowhere. First time I saw the laptop, its screen looked like it was way larger than my expectations. . . It's a nice feeling to have the keys in hand. In addition to this, many customers complain of a low quality screen. Ok. The tea maker comes home; here's her. It is an awesome screen. As far as I know, everything is fine. In my opinion, those people must be computer experts if they can do that. Games, of course, were one of the big criteria for me as well. The only person I know who does that. Gaming on this laptop is literally the best thing you can do. All the files that I have downloaded so far, and purring like a kitten has stayed with me. In terms of performance, this laptop is superb. The product is fantastic and I think you should buy it.

Really enjoyed my purchase, and I would recommend it to others
5/5

An eight GB RAM chip and a three inch SSD. I3 1005G1 and 128GB NVME SSD. my phone feels a bit snappy and responsive. The fingerprint logon is easy and fast and was one of the few things I saw that offset the price tag of it. My wife only needs the most basic specs for her, so I did my best to go for a 10th-gen AMD Ryzen International or 4000 series AMD Ryzen Laptop with a 10th Gen GPUs. Even if I had a different price but it was as good or as decent as the price would suggest, I wouldn't change much except the fact that there should have been a sufficient amount of internal storage. With Hynix, you only pay $20 for your SSD, which is what the OEM should have spent $10 more on. While this laptop's processor is 12GB, it does not even experience slowdown. My laptop runs Windows 8 at 80 percent of peak performance. Asus does not support bloatware. This software is pre-built for Office365. A piece of Microsoft software cannot be removed from the Windows 7 operating system in three different languages. Does it take the time o remove each language? Are they hoping you lose patience and give up the install so it will it will hope you lose patience and give up the install so it can keep pestering you? I helped my wife setup this laptop for one reason: Windows S Mode was annoying and disabling it was her only option. Even though Windows S mode may be at the root of this bloatware compatibility.

Pros: Ports! I have to say that having four USB ports plus one of them being USB is a pleasant change. The NVME SSD, which is a high-performance video card built by Intel. With a fairly bright display at 1920x1080. I3, the new Core i, is super responsive, light weight, and slim. There are thin angles between surfaces. This new HP Envy's aluminum case is a great product, but it weighs considerably less than the original and has excellent performance characteristics. This keyboard and track pad are very well made.

Cons: An RJ45 connectivity will not be allowed. All other price exceptions aside from storage, the overall value is over my other limits. As a side note, I wish my computer would have 128GB rather than buy another one with an inch more storage. However, LCD screens might need more dark, blacks with price this small. Since I haven't bothered about that, the lower viewing angles seem to bother me, but no one else but my wife doesn't. Since I've installed FireFox in my laptop, Zoom Video Conferencing and Google Sheets have stuttered to a considerable degree. Memory utilization rate was 70% and CPU usage was 50%, according to the system resource meter. We see 70% of the graphics memory used for pagefile swapping by pointing out this, rather than because the memory is being consumed rapidly. Having a stick of 8GB DDR+ provided a good fit to me. DDR memory on 4 two hundred twenty six should be replaced so I replaced it. A total of 12GB of RAM should be upgraded from 4 3200 to 12800. It was just that; photos taken by our photographer. Since memory utilization increased to 50%, the same workload can now be done with less memory.

I never bought a thing so bad
3/5

This is the worst brand-new laptop I have ever owned. A screen is so good because of what it does. Simple games can't be run without lagging off the running track. There is no relevance to audio. At 100% volume, it cannot be heard any further. Five days later, after much effort, the audio jack stopped working. The mouse touchpad has been dead for a week after it was made. I thought it was just bad, bad bad. Stay one hundred dollars longer, never again.

Getting a great laptop to the best price
5/5

It's Windows 10 S Mode item #1. Please bear with me, as there was no intention I was putting too much out there about S Mode, though I took the time to add that I regret writing the articles so much. In addition, there are other comments directed at the laptop itself, as well.

1. (a) S Mode in Windows 10 provides excellent results. More and more, I enjoy using it. In the last 8 years, I have switched to S Mode on other devices. months. However, I strongly recommend OS 98 as an awesome OS and an under rated OS that is very easy to exit when it comes to S Mode. As a result, malware is virtually stopped. Unless you're installing something from the Windows Store outside of S Mode, you can't tell the laptop is in S Mode. It should only be considered if you do not play video games or require some special program. This helps alleviate some of the worries that would have come over you with computer hacking, which is getting more and more serious, especially with the rise in sophistication of computer attacks from national governments. Yep, I am a techie on one end and an independent pressman on the other. S Mode seems most often smore of Windows 10 S Mode, but they rarely seem to articulate the benefits of S Mode. A better marketing campaign of the OS would probably be undertaken by Microsoft. I am incapable of understanding why they do not do so. Windows 10 Home came with Windows 10 Home Pro, which I have upgraded to via the Windows Store. The administrator of this device now uses Office 365 Intune. It may not be appreciated by the tech world that Windows 10 S Mode is great, but I will come to the opposite conclusion. I am a fan of S Mode because it requires less Windows updates than regular Windows. Being an admin, I have no need to update my system so much. It's impossible to compromise with this OS. 2. It's really tough to compromise in the business world. Laptops like this offer excellent value for money. The processor has 8GB of memory and a 128GB hard drive, and it comes with an Intel i3 chipset. This is perfect for a typical college student or business user. Those features make this device great for performance. While most people don't know about the Intel i3 chip, which works very well even at high settings, there are a few things you do.

3. (a) The display could be used in business. Gaming or watching a lot of videos will likely hurt good displays, it's not uncommon for cheap screen-tops to have a little to no value for money. As for the display, it is enough for what it is. With tight viewing angles, the display seems to attract other reviewers who tend to exaggerate their comments. They wonder what they can expect for a $500 laptop. It stands to reason that in my experience, many computers have this display, which, although good, is not quite spectacular. As I mentioned earlier, if you wish to obtain a premium display, you must pay the price. It is still a good display to use for general purposes.

4. In each of the port types provided, the latest version is displayed. Despite being a great value for the price, this laptop has a keyboard problem. I found that the backlit keyboard is very good. I think the keys feel great and the numeric pad is great. Typing on the keyboard is comfortable and very quiet.

6. 2) The part of the laptop that contains the frame and body. Materials made of plastic are used. Having given the unit such a low price, it looks pretty darn nice. As far as I know, should the laptop fall into a hole, it may hurt much less than it would bruise. I'm not taking a drop. Despite the fact that I might break this laptop, it does give you a pretty good device for the price point as I have no desire to break it. I highly recommend this laptop for its very reasonable price and the chance to get involved with it well by a general audience. Please mention if you have any questions. Ensure that your device is in S Mode so that malware and updating headaches are minimized.
