Hate to bump an old thread but since this is a sticky, no harm no foul? I previously used (still have) a 2017 model HP Spectre x360 and I just got a new, open-box XPS 15 9570 from eBay a week ago. I got the model with the 4K screen, 32Gb RAM, 1Tb SSD and the GTX 1050ti. I've always wanted an...

I've been trying to log into Android Central and Windows Central on my phone but I don't remember the password and when I try to use the Forgot Password function, I can't click the Send Password button! I finally got it on my laptop but when I click the button, it goes gray and nothing happens...

Just got this Pentax K70 a few days ago. Ordered a lightly used Pentax 50-200mm lens last night too. I really like this camera so far.

Is there such a thing as a portable power brick or battery that can charge laptops? Especially with USB-C? I'm going on a trip and would like to work during the drive.

I think that's just a waste of materials, frankly. But that's just me.

Yeah I've done that a few times but I'm coming from a laptop that didn't have this feature (as far as I know; I haven't used track pads much because I'm mostly a wireless mouse user). So it's mostly just force of habit.

I just got the 15" x360 last week or two weeks ago and so far I'm loving this machine. I personally wouldn't mind if the screen wasn't 4K but it's nice to have nonetheless. I find that I can only 'right-click' in the very bottom right corner of the trackpad. Click anywhere else and it's a left...

The Spectre 15 has Hello facial recognition built in. The new model at least.

I've run into a dilemma while trying to decide on a laptop to purchase. I'm stuck between the Lenovo Yoga 710 and the HP Spectre x360. Both 15" versions. Both with Core i7-7500, 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 940MX, 4K screens (although given a choice, I'd drop the screen down to 1080p...

I'm planning on purchasing a Spectre x360 but I'd like to try to cut costs wherever I can. I'm eyeing the 2017 15t with the 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD for it's i7-7500U and Nvidia card (going to be doing light CAD work and school work) and long battery life. Unfortunately the $1,500 price is a bit...

Oh, no I haven't tried it. Like you (I think) said, if I'm removing the HDDs then there's no need to do any reset.

OK, thanks.

End game is the laptop going to someone else. If the Win10 license won't be able to be loaded on, would Win7 then be loaded on because the computer was originally a Win7 device? The hard drives will be removed nonetheless.

I'm trying to completely reset the computer. Basically taking it from where it is now to being a "new" system - in theory. So a brand new system with a clean OS. Like I said, I'm fine if I do a complete system factory reset and it leaves the computer with Windows 7 upon restart. I'm fine it...

What are the differences between Xeon and i7 laptop processors? Which one is better than the other?
