I am giving this to as a donation for taxes. What is the fair value for it?
It's clean (noting wrong with the screen or inside, typical minor scratches on top and bottom, one corner has a minor crack when a bellhop dropped my bag on the hotel floor from waist level, the MacBook Pro in the same...
No microcenters in Florida. Costco was having some great HP's in the $299-399 range. I bought two at $299 (14-df0023cl, i3-8130U, 4GB, 128GB SSD, 1920x1080 IPS, backlit keys and decent sound) that I added 4GB more ram, a 512TB NVMe to each, and a couple of real intel wifi cards I picked up for...
They currently have an HP Pavillion G series 584037-001. It has Windows 7, so ancient like 11 years old. I don't think sticking an SSD and some more memory in will help.
Costco usually has good HP deals, but nothing is showing now.
Waiting for them to get back with me on size and if...
Dock is great along with other peripherals if you are a desk warrior. If you are mobile having a numeric keypad hanging off the machine can be a PITA esp if you want to use a mouse. Add in your phone charging and/or some earbuds and many laptops run out of USB ports. I am happy with my P52...
Picked up a mint P52 with 110 days of warranty left. 8850H/32GB/4K....came with 500GB, but I swapped to 2x2TB SX8200 Pro NVMe. Running 0.140 undervolt and its quiet.
picked up a Thinkpad P52 with 100 days of warranty left, keyboard and screen never used...always connected to external monitor and keyboard. 8850H/P3200/4k/32GB/500GB. Tossed the 500GB drive and put in two SX8200 Pro 2TB drives :)
Playing with fan settings now and may underbolt.
Not sure if I could get by without the number pad..looking for a mobile powerhouse, but still want it managable (maybe 5lbs).
Good screen is important. I don't game, but I'd like to be able to.
Mostly network engineering apps including office and adobe photoshop. I don't really game, but...

On the fence on the P53 but...
Still not sure what to do....X1 Carbon and call it a day or dig deeper into a P1/P53 or Zbook workstation....i do like to game, but it's extremely rare.
For me I am using all sorts of apps from photoshop to office to secure crt and more. Network Engineer/programmer/etc.
I really don't game much anymore though, but I wouldn't mind firing up Left For Dead, Killing Floor or COD/etc once in a whle.
Same boat here....debating if 4K and scaling (I'd be using windows 10 64 pro) vs FHD. Looking at 14-15"...I have a 17" Envy that is just too big to carry around daily when I have to work in a tight situation (or airplane).
Was shopping Carbon X1 (extreme looks interesting too) and the XPS15...
I am debating a loaded X1 Carbon vs something like this type of laptop. I don't game much at all anymore...but the pricing on these types of machines seems a lot better than the higher end X1's. Just built one for a CEO with LTE and it was sweet, esp the newer audio quality.
Still looking, X240 may be a little light on horsepower...I do love those machines though. Really leaning toward snagging a deal on a X1 Carbon or Extreme.
Solved this with the HP 14-DF0023CL modesl for $299.97 at costco. Hard deal IMHO to beat esp considering 2 years warranty (4 if you use their credit card or another that extends warranty, if using a non-costco card keep in mind that extended warranty is based on manufacturers 1 year and not the...
Still looking for a good thin high quality bang for buck machine for myself. Getting the two HP 14-DF0023CL's for the kids was an excellent plan. I spent a little more than I wanted but the hardware is top notch (NVMe SX8200 Pro, Intel 9260 Wifi, 500GB WD Blue for their music and videos on a...
I have no clue the story being spun. There is a difference between what I budgeted and money being tight.
I am a network engineer by trade and have been dabbling in computers and the internet since the early 80s.
HDDs that were far inferior did fine for decades in laptops.
Almost all...
I get ya...I am at a limit updating this family to 2019 :) Just picked up 3 new iphone 11 128GBs for them as well. Just came off of almost 9 months not working so I am doing ok with what I have been given.
I'd have loved to get them i5 machines with 1TB 970 Pros or higher and 2TB SSD data...
I got two LPVX 500gb Blues for $50 shipped. I have not had a problem with the single platter blues and have used them in laptops for a long time now. I would love SSDs across the board. My own laptop is using a 2TB HDD for data and I heavily travel without issue. It's a Samsung Spinpoint.
The...
the 256GB to 1TB was a $100 jump, to 512GB only $20 but this was already a little over budget esp since all costs are double due to two laptops. I will be leaving dropbox on the 500GB HDD (they have very little) and they just use webmail.
Later I will upgrade to possibly 1TB/2TB like my...
The laptops only came with 128gb
For the other post, they aren’t downloading porn but they have tons of music and videos especially self-recorded. They will use flash cards/thumb drives for the excess.
I can sell the two 128gbs for a few bucks.
I don't have access to a desktop and I have two laptops that come with 128GB SSDs M.2 coming. They are compatible with NVMe so I picked up a couple 256GB SX8200 Pros. Since USB to PCIe/NVMe is no go, can I take the stock drive out and place it on a M.2 to USB adapter to boot with and then...
I am worried more about the 128SSD. Their old laptops were only 256GB and 500GB previously. My plan is to load the user files onto the HDD and only use the SSD for OS/Programs.
I could get decent 256GB SSDs for $50-60 (NVMe) but then that is another cost.
I picked up the $299 HP...
