Not sure when your model was made, however, I own the 10" version that I picked up a couple years ago for 199 with the atom processor. I just use if for surfing the net when watching tv, or to take in the car if I'm unfortunate to be a backseat passenger. As far as I'm aware, none of the...

I've had awful luck with Dell in the past. (Albeit with desktops). I tend to have much better luck with HP. Every HP I've had (save for one) has lasted ten years without anything breaking. I have been looking at the Dell 15" 7000 series though. I would jump on a 17" if the monitor supported...

Thanks for the input. Upgrading the ram didn't show any differences at all. I ended up taking the ram back out and putting it into another old laptop. I have another older HP laptop that runs Windows 10 fine with the exception of Chrome. Needless to say, with the HP Mini, I installed...

After considerable thought and lots of research... I ended up deciding to cough up some extra money and get the Spectre X360 or the Yoga 720. However, upon my research, I find that the Yoga has a ton of issues on 4k models so I think I'm going with the Spectre x360. It's absolutely gorgeous in...

I'm planning on getting one in the next week. I started out thinking I was going to get a more budget minded Envy x360, but after spending countless hours configuring it the way I want it.... I realize I'm going to end up spending only a couple hundred dollars less than just buying the Spectre...

Thanks for the info! Yes, I've read the service / maintenance models for both x360s that I'm considering, that is how I discovered which ones had boards with on board memory. The service manual for the Best Buy model and the service manual for the one on sale at HP are the same. Same parts...

Thanks for the input! I may get the newer Ryzen model if the price drops or there is a better sale somewhere, but from what I understand that comes with a decrease in battery life. Something I learned by reading the service manual, the latest i5s from HP in the series only have one upgradable...

So, I've decided to get a new laptop. I have a 10" HP 2 in 1 that I really like (for around the house browns and some email), so I think I'm going to stick with that form factor over a traditional laptop. I've pretty much narrowed it down to an HP Envy x360 15.6". 17" laptops are just a hassle...

First, I have to say that I ditched Windows as my primary OS five years ago when I switched back to Mac (after a 15 year break). I still have plenty of Windows devices, but they are not where I do the bulk of my computer usage. I only browse the net, watch videos, occasional email, etc. on...

So, I'm a hoarder and keep all my working computers around to put in various places to always have internet access. I've had an old HP Mini 110-1025DX since 2009, I never used it all that much, but I've ran XP, Win 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 on it. XP and Windows 7 were fine but ever since the...

I'd hope for a decent camera sensor and OIS. That being said, HP never had a good record with digital cameras, so I shouldn't get my hopes up. It's doubtful they will be using the latest Sony sensors. Cameras and Screens are the only things that keep me going back to Samsung, it surely is...

My Note 4 seems so small. I'm dying to leave Google behind and dump Android. This may be the phone that allows me to do that. If the camera is up to snuff, I think it will make the decision even easier. (I don't really care about apps as I use so few anyhow.)

I hate the way Verizon does business, but their service has just been pretty rock solid for me. I had AT&T back in 2000-2002 or something and it was craptastic. I dropped calls daily around Los Angeles. Switched to Verizon and have had maybe 2 dropped calls ever. One thing that bothers me...

Edge has been unusable since day 1. Sure, if you stumble across a page without ads or tracking, it's really fast. The problem is that without extension or TPL support, it's just painful. They really need to hurry up with that extension support pronto. I really would like to not use Chrome...

Gee, and I thought I was bad. I've got several "Windows 10 Devices" , but it's my assortment of 2 desktop computers, a laptop, a netbook and a hybrid tablet. My main computer is a Mac and it's doubtful I'll install Windows 10 on it, although, I never thought I'd say this.... I miss Windows as...
