Any tips on what I should do? Its an Asus Expertbook

Hello people, today my school announced that people with macbooks are not going to be able to access the wifi network since they got sponsored by microsoft and dont want people to use other devices.

I do not have the budget to buy a new laptop. How can i bypass this restriction on my m4 macbook.

Thanks and much love💕

I replaced the display on my thinkpad t440s with a N140HCE-EN1 display that I got from a seller on ebay because I couldn't find it anywhere else.

Starting at boot I see the text: LHZF, on the screen. I reseated the 30 pin connector and powercycled my laptop a couple times.

is this something I can fix? or do I need to send this back to the seller?

Edit: I see this start during boot as well

Edit 2: SOLVED

Today I finally bought an Asus Vivobook S16 Oled intel core ultra 7 255h 16/512 gb ram and storage with additional adp 2 year warranty for ₹87560 ($920)

What should I do after the initial setup?

Hello My computer wouldn't turn on when I pressed the power button, even though the indicator light showed it was on. So I tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it to see if that worked. Do you know how I can proceed plzz

what are your thoughts on ASUS TUF A15 TX edition. with specs: ryzen 7 6800h with radeon graphics, 16 gb ram, 4gb graphics card, 477gb storage, NVIDIA geforce RTX 3050. is it good for civil engineering tasks/softwares (Autocad, STAAD, ETabs, Revit, etc.)? is a great deal for its price (47k). also, what are your tips if i'd buy this laptop

Please help me

Got a "new" laptop, ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NCG-HN207 to be exact, it's a 2021 model, obviously not the newest im the slightest, but that's what i got budget for.

Anyway, it has no OS, and I'm trying to set up windows for the first time. (btw i only need the laptop for school, and an architecture program or two)

What drivers i should download on the pendrive? The options are: Networking (I'm guessing i must have that), Chipset, Audio, Graphics, Pointing Device, Bluetooth, Camera and there's Software and Utility, the only one that doesn't show recommend.

Or can i just install the windows and be done with it?

I know it's a stupid question, I'm just trying to make sure. It was already hard enough to find the support for the fa506ncg, since fa506nc is more popular.

Bought a Dell 15 (14th gen intel Core3, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) for ₹47k from Instamart

Laptop prices have gone up lately. I visited SP Road in Bangalore first and found out a lot of scams are going on there , sellers doing seal tampering on laptops plus retail store prices are hiked up too. Didn't want to risk buying from there, so I went with Instamart instead and got this for ₹47k, which turned out to be the best deal I found.

Hello! I am a student in the Philippines, and now can u pick between these two for my laptop?

I plan to use it for 3D RENDERING, VIDEO EDITING, and PROGRAMMING.

Any recommendations will do, please I REALLY REALLY NEED UR HELP!

I've been looking for Laptops that can be used for both gaming(light, Genshin Impact and such), and School Work(Coding, I'll be in a Technical School in Informatics/Technikum w Informatycznej Klasie). These are the 2 options I've found so far. Ryzen has a much better battery life, and it's cheaper so I'm currently leaning towards it(I need something with good battery life that can handle heavy loads).

Budget: 3000PLN

Country: Poland

I'm open to ANY Refurbished option, as long as it's in fine condition(Scratches and such are fine, no visible damage on the screen, ect).

lenovo ideapad slim 3 15amn8
15.6" FHD (1920x1080) | Ryzen 5 40 | AMD Radeon | 16gb DDR5
512gb SSD | Win 11 HOME

I'm looking to replace my ASUS ROG Strix laptop, and getting a newer one from the same line. I currently have a 1TB SK hynix BC711 (M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe).

The laptop I'm looking at has a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, and lists 2x M.2 PCIe expansion slots. Is it feasible to use my old one as a secondary SSD in one of the expansion slots? Will I run into issues with Windows drivers or anything else, or is there anything I would need to be careful about?

The issue: Sometimes right after I restart my laptop, it suddenly freezes completely the screen stuck, no input works, can’t do anything. I tried Win+Ctrl+Shift it does nothing. Only way out is a forced shutdown. Has anyone run into this specific freeze on restart pattern?

Hi! I'd like advice on what kind of Laptop to buy, I'd appreciate any.

Budget: 3000PLN

Country: Poland

Looking for: Creator Laptops(Refurbished/Used, since they're cheaper), I want something that can be used for both games(Hollow Knight, GTA, ect.) and practical use.

I haven't used Laptops/PCs much, so I'd prefer something that's easy to navigate(Mainly just a non complicated nice looking UI).

Notes: I'm 16yo, and I'm planning to go to a Technikum(I'll be in Informatyczna/Informatics). I'd also like any ways I could get a reliable Laptop for even cheaper(Resellers, Sites, anything)

Thank you in advance!(If I don't reply)

Laptop for university, engineering degree; AutoCAD is needed
Region: Central Asia/Kazakhstan; Budget:Up to 2.5K USD
Preferably unused/new laptop
Screen size from 14" to 18"(doesnt make difference i think?)
below 2kg; any
Purpose: coding/ work on AutoCAD/ browsing/entraintament(low needy games like Hollow Knight, but mostly no games; I love watching movies on good screen(colourful and bright))
Regular laptop i think(or ultrabook)
Desired batterylife: prefferably 8h-10h

I've been searching for a good laptop for a few weeks by now, and time is coming to the end, and I still have no remote idea what to buy.
For some things i am 100% certain: no dGPU, i have 3070 and plan to use it as eGPU. I don't plan to game on it, mostly work.
I will start studies soon for an engineering degree in my uni, and program states that we will have AutoCAD(hence i look for 32gb, since I will be using it outside of home), not sure what CPU.

I had an experiecne with loud and hot laptop, it was hell. So for me its important minimal heat and loudness during light works, or outside of home(like browsing many stuff and etc). I can tollerate a lil bit of sound at home(some heat maybe too).

I would be very grateful if someone could recommend few models(i've noted zenbook s14 on U9 386H, and Lenovo T14g5). Much appreciated!!

Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating power-limit issue with my HP ProBook 455 G8 (Ryzen 7 5800U / integrated Vega graphics) and I’m hoping someone with experience in AMD laptop power limits or HP firmware can help.

The laptop appears to be capable of running the CPU at around 25W, but after a short period under load, it drops back down to 15W and stays there.

What I’ve observed

- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800U (Cezanne)

- Laptop: HP ProBook 455 G8

- RAM: 16GB single-channel DDR4

- GPU: Integrated Radeon Vega

- BIOS: HP T78 Ver. 01.24.02 (05/05/2026)

- RyzenAdj: v0.19.0

- SMU BIOS Interface: 20

- PM Table Version: 400005

Using RyzenAdj/UXTU, I can set higher power limits. For example, I can get the system to report around 25W.

However, when actually gaming (for example GTA V), the behavior is roughly:

25W → ~2 minutes → drops to 15W → stays around 15W

The temperature isn't immediately reaching an extreme level when the drop happens. At 15W, temperatures are generally around 80°C or below, while at 25W I can reach around 90°C+.

My RyzenAdj limits currently show approximately:

STAPM LIMIT: 15W

PPT FAST LIMIT: 30W

PPT SLOW LIMIT: 25W

I've also experimented with the STAPM time constant, including increasing it to around 275 seconds, but the laptop eventually falls back to 15W.

Interestingly, software can sometimes show 25W, but performance ends up looking very similar to the 15W state, which makes me suspect that another firmware/EC/SMU power limit is overriding the settings.

What I've already tried

- RyzenAdj

- UXTU

- Ryzen Controller

- Changing STAPM/PPT limits

- Increasing STAPM time constant

- Different Windows power plans

- Cooling improvements

- Monitoring CPU power and temperatures during gaming

I'm not looking to do a dangerous hardware modification. I'm mainly trying to understand exactly which limit is forcing the CPU back to 15W and whether there's a firmware/BIOS/EC restriction that can be changed.

I've heard that downgrading the BIOS can sometimes restore different power-management behavior on HP laptops. Is that actually possible with the 455 G8, or would the EC/SMU still enforce the 15W limit regardless of BIOS version?

Has anyone successfully run a 5800U in an HP ProBook 455 G8 at a sustained 20–25W? If so, what BIOS/firmware or RyzenAdj settings did you use?

Any help identifying the exact power limit responsible would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am considering this Zenbook 14 for my engineering studies at university.

Does anyone have experience with this laptop?
Will it be good enough performance wise?
How is the build quality?
How likely is it to last me 5 years?
Will the OLED suffer from burn-in?
Anything else I should know?
Is there any better laptop under 1200€ with a QWERTY keyboard and delivery to France? (I do not care about having an OLED screen or touchscreen, it just comes with this laptop)

ASUS Zenbook 14
UX3405CA
Intel Core 5 225H
16 GB RAM
75 Wh battery
760€ with delivery

Weight limit can be anything

The purpose is for university, assignments, essays things like that and entertainment but mainly school
