It's been a while since I've been into hardware, and I've always been into desktop hardware in any case. What are some of the better choices out there? I would be looking for something that is a bit more rugged than the bottom end laptops, possibly with a video card for minor gaming. |

The laptop I have (and many others in their lineup) have terrible issues with their proprietary audio software that makes inputs a living hell. I have never known more frustration and sheer anguish in the world of audio and sound than I have in dealing with the pure evil that is this laptop's sound setup. |

There are a lot of cheap laptops that are powerful enough to satisfy all your needs, and, moreover, it's not needed to pay such a sum of money to get really worthy laptop for the money. For example, it was enough for me to buy one of these new laptop for studying (personally I bought Microsoft Surface Laptop for $1000 and remained satisfied). To be honest, there is a guide that helped me find a suitable laptop that I've been using for 2 years and have no issues. (Link Removed) This post has been edited by Perry on Dec 23 2019, 07:30 PM |

You were flagged in the system as being a bot, so I hope you can prove me wrong. |

Were you expecting something else? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,921 Member No.: 20,929 Joined: Oct 14th 2006 Location: Some place in South-East Asia | Username looked familiar to me, and as I expected, post history shows the guy isn't a bot. So it's not a spambot linking something ad-like. It's a human linking something ad-like. |

The MacBook you are talking about is MD101HNA mostly. and its pretty old with mechanical disc which is why you’re getting 500 GB of slow storage.
