I pulled the trigger on a refurbished machine from Newegg. Quad core, bunch of ram, SSD, and 1080 display. Hopefully it lasts me 4-5 years. What do you guys think? Refurbished: DELL Laptop Precision M4700 Intel Core i7 3720QM (2.60 GHz) 16 GB Memory 256 GB SSD 15.6" Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit -...

i5 or i7? Are there good comparable AMD quad cores out there? I looked at the elite books but no HDMI cable which I need to send the stream to the TV.

Update - Went to use the laptop to stream the UFC 202 fight tonight and it didn't go well. Wouldn't connect to my WiFi, so I restarted. Then it wouldn't boot. I then snapped it in 2 pieces over my knee. Can someone lead me to a good New machine for my needs? I don't want to have to load an OS...

I had a bunch of screws out yesterday but can clearly see what I missed now. Thanks again, I'll give it another shot tonight perhaps.

Having problems.. Is the thing in the picture the processor? If so, I can't get to it and it also looks like it has some sort of silicone around it?

That doesn't sound like something I know how to do. If the laptop doesn't boot with the new processor, I'm going to assume that's the problem? It came in the mail yesterday and I'm likely going to install it, or at least try to, today.

I appreciate all of the advice. I think I'm going to pick up the processor linked above for $15 and see if it helps. I just grabbed a fire stick yesterday when Amazon had them for $25 so it's likely I'll be using the laptop even less than I do now.

You're probably right. Just trying to avoid spending the money on something I rarely use.

Am I going to be able to swap out the CPU myself? I'm clearly not experienced with this sort of thing. The M4600 listing he has is a 15.6" screen, 16GB ram, grade C condition, no OS, and $529 - Substantially more than the others.

Don't game anymore on the PC. I don't even really use the laptop for web browsing much either. I mainly download torrents and then watch the movies via HDMI cable to my TV. My current processor is terrible at multi tasking which ends with me wanting to snap the thing in half.

Of the available processors he has available, which should I go with? The e6430 comes with 8gb of ram and a 128gb SSD for $329.

That's the info I was looking for, cheers.

I checked out the link to the laptops and it seems like a good deal, just a smaller screen than I'm used to. If I could change from 4GB to 8GB in my current machine, would I even notice the difference? I essentially only use it to stream movies at this point.

The price seemed high to me as well. I stumbled on another site which was $80 per stick, so $160.

I've got an older Toshiba Satelite A505-S6965 and it's a bit slow. Takes 15 seconds or so just to load up Google Chrome. Should I try to upgrade the Ram, and maybe even the processor? It has 4GB (2x2GB) with a max of 8. Will upgrading to a 2x4 setup make a noticeable difference? Crucial 2x4GB...

Brand new in box, $80 shipped here is a link to the website i got it from. http://www.iomagic.com/gigabank/IUSB80HD25.asp

perhaps some people just arnt as greedy as you.

showing $2100 for me?

thats a really good price...

now thats a sweet deal ! :D

im using a 3 rca cable setup right now.. 1 for video and the other 2 for sound. the YPbPr is a 5 cable setup, 3 for video and 2 for sound. what do i need to run it like that? i tried the crappy RCA cables i have but the screen is just really pinkish and crap. Id rather not upgrade my DVD player...

Hi guys.. i just bought a 46" Westinghouse LCD TV and im trying to get a better picture from my dvd player. Im currently using the S-Video and its not very good. My DVD player is kind of old and definately a low end, but i think i could get a better picture if i used the YPbPr output. Problem...

it says in the specs - Compatible modes: TV480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, PCVGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA Either way, i picked it up today. Came to $2100 with tax and the extra 3 year warrenty. Not too shabby at all if you ask me. As far as the picture goes, i dont have a HD source yet so i cant say.

This model supports 1080. I looked at the 42" but wanted something a little bigger. I'll be picking this up today so i'll let everyone know what i think. :)

$1,749.88 Been looking for a 50" plasma for my room for a while but this LCD is cheaper and better then anything else i've looked at in the $2000 range. Did a search for a review, but couldnt find anything. Hopefully my local samsclub has it in stock so i can pick it up tomarrow...

haha, so do it... im actually running a 3.4 ghz in it right now.

i just paid $140 for this like 2 weeks ago :eek:

meh, thats a drag..

so are any of those discounts good for televisions? interested in picking up the 50" maxent plasma, and any of these discounts would be great :)

bad link

tried that too... and as far as getting the 3.4ghz my asus p4p deluxe says only up to 3.2ghz.. should i get the 3.4 anyways?

not an increase.. i only play cs source and it drops down to 15 fps all the time, whether or not its intense action. im playing at 1280 x 1024 i believe and even with all the settings turned down its still bad. my problem is im still running a socket 478 board and all i can find is a p4 3.0 on...

im thinking maybe i need to upgrade my 2.4ghz p4 cause 15 fps with the 800xl seems to be pure bullshit :confused:

9800pro used but never overclocked. comes in box with all cables included. - $55 shipped 9600pro used but never overclocked. comes in white box with manual and driver cd. - $30 shipped [email protected]

its having a hard time handling the game without those things on. its running at like constant 30-40 fps but drops down to 15 at times which is unplayable....

got mine in today. upgraded from a 9800 pro and im barely noticing any incrase in fps while playing cs:s....

edit. just checked my order on their site and it was shipped out on the 30th :D

hopefully this is a good upgrade on my 9800 pro. need a card to play cs source on....

price up to $46.99

grow up.
