ENVY - 15 laptop t M9U50AV_1: ENVY - 15 t mobile M9U50AV_1 needs firewire - back or add a card: what is the best solution?

When we ordered this laptop, I swear that the reported specs it would come with a firewire port. But it arrived without one. We will return the laptop and get an another lappie who does not come configured with a firewire port. Should we just return this and use credit to get a different laptop or add a card to the existing ENVY?

  • Desktop HP Envy 750-114: do I need a new monitor or graphics card?

    I have a HP Envy Office 750-114 and a HP. V242h color monitor, etc. on the monitor are flat, dull and almost gray. It has been like that since we have the computer about a year ago. I've tweaked the contrast, etc., on the screen and it's a little better, but still not very good.

    So, is it a new graphics card for the computer, or a new monitor? I'm afraid that if I buy a new monitor, it'll be the same, dull and flat.

    If a new graphics card is required, which would be a good thing, and I need a new power supply?

    My son loves to make games, one that is good for the games would be better.

    Thanks in advance!

    I did experiment a bit and partially answered my own question. I removed the monitor in question (HP V242h) and hooked it to another computer. What a world of difference! So I don't think it's the monitor, but the graphics card.

    If a modified question: what would be a good graphics card for my HP Envy Office 750-114? One that enhances the display and provides the best game? Also, would need a new power supply?

    Thanks again in advance!

  • What is the best for your laptop: shutdown, standby, or hibernation?

    Original title: 'stop'?

    What is better for a laptop computer, stop every time, for sleep or Hibernate. It hurt to stop all the time.    Thank you Windows Vista

    Hello

    Better to refer to the manufacturer of your system Support, their books online and their
    Forums about your model (with a grain of salt), because it will be the difference between the marks
    and even some models.

    Usually there is no exact answer but its best not to put the laptop off the coast and back
    in a field so it can be avoided. Shut down the computer using also therefore be able to short
    periods (several hours) using sleep or Hibernate would better save energy. Also allowing
    Cool and heat Electronices frequently is not the best for their long term use and
    life expectancy.

    Using power properly Plans with the right parameters of standby and Hibernate, which
    depends on how you use the computer, get the best performance and service life
    There is however no exact answer. Those who seem to be best for the way you use the
    system will probably also be better in the long term. If you "could" set with the magical settings
    that could optimize the functions of machinery and life, but then to use the machine in another
    model, as we all wish, then in fact you will get actually less usage and life
    If your usage patterns.

    One thing that many people forget, is that turn off the screen can also save power when you
    you are away a few moments and wouldn't turn the computer off. This will save
    some food through the use of a screen saver, but can be difficult to remember and does not record
    A lot.

    Check with your manufacturer for system and their forums as your laptop might already have this
    capacity.

  • What is the best laptop for video editing that task my money?

    Hello

    I have Lenovo laptop, I used it for 5 years, until now, I see that it is not good enough to make the work of video editing. So now I think to buy a new laptop for this case, but I am not confident about my knowledge on the area of the laptop. Everyone here knows or has a good knowledge on laptop, please give me a serious opinion, thank you.

    Hi jespong,

    Thanks for posting.

    The first starting point would be to look at the minimum specifications required by the video editing program, and then start looking for laptops with these specifications.  Then look for those that have the best specifications requested by the program and settle for something in between.

    According to your budget, it would be better to buy something that has more than request the program you always want to have the best.

    Kind regards

    Robert

  • What is the best laptop to use for first Pro 2015 cc?

    I am currently using a Macbook Pro with:

    Processor: 2.9 Ghz Inter Core i7

    Memory: 12 GB 1600 MHz DDr3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1526 MB

    Should I update my graphics card?  When I work with .mov, when I read his jerky.

    Eric advice is correct... especially with the 4K more for a standard video.  4K editing or even several stream 1080 p with effects requires a laptop much 'bigger' than what you have.

    In the meantime, before acquring a new machine, you can:

    1. increase the system memory of the laptop, as Eric suggested, of at least 16 GB or more

    2. I suppose that you have only one hard drive Bay and not two in your machine. If you have a spinning mechanical hard drive... is a 7200 RPM or, ESPECIALLY if you have a disk of 5 400 rpm... Replace it with a quality SATA III SSD.

    The best, especially for editing purposes, is the Samsung 850 Pro model... the prices are down and they are now more affordable. Start with a model of this SSD 256 GB or more. Crucial SSD 200 MX are almost the same in quality, but they are cheaper... no other SSD is recommended due to other types of used controllers.

    You would like to clone the image of your hard drive in the new SSD using an external USB 3 docking station to connect the SSD drive in as a "cartridge"... they are cheap (~ $25 - $ 30). Then place the new drive in the internal Bay. Even if you would use that one disc, the new SSD would greatly improve the speed of data read and write operations and overall performance of the computer.

    3. If your machine has 3 USB port, it MAY (or may NOT), be able to take advantage of what we call 'USAP '. This would allow an external drive, such as the Samsung Q1 SSD to operate at nearly the same speed as the internall SSD. For example: a new Samsung 850Pro would go to over 500 MB/sec read and write compared to the humble 150 - 75 MB/s of the HARD original internal drive. A Samsung Q1 might run externally at over 400 MB/sec in reading and enter vs 200 Mbps USB 3 WITHOUT 'USAP '. This would allow you to place all the media, project files, presents a preview and export to the T1, while placing the media cache and the cache files on the disk SSD internal flash for easy removal when the projects are completed. The high-performance T1 can be plugged into other machines to get back to work. Speed training is VERY IMPORTANT and may be the main cause of current sluggish performance, but also inadequate hardware components. Of course, you can ALSO have high speed external port 'Thunderbolt', but using this port storage solutions are very expensive.

    4. MORE IMPORTANT! Since it seems that the GPU on your machine is low, you may need to 'transcode' the images you want to edit in a more EASY codec for your machine to manage.  You can try the DNxHD "visually lossless" codec to Quicktime.  Windows users can also use the "Cineform" free of the Go Pro webssite codec... I don't know if Mac users can use Cineform, being a Windows Guy.

    If you are a serious Editor, you will DEFINITELY need a new machine very soon. For optimal performance, users are building Haswell E Windows desktops with the 5960 X overclocked to 4.5 Ghz CPU and a GPU of NVidia 980ti and either 32 or 64 GB of memory system.  They use a Samsung 850 Pro SSD as a boot drive for the OS, programs and Windows pagefile ONLY.  All other files, go to the new Samsung 950 NVMe PCI DSS Pro who has read more than 2 GB/s speed and 1.5 GB/s write speed AND which is "two-way", meaning that it reads and writes at the same time... Unlike SATA, it relates to one or the other and not BOTH at the same time. For the greater data capacity, a large RAID 0 array off the coast of 3 or moreSamsung 850 SSD Pro motherboard can also provide fast performance.

  • What is the best diet to charge/discharge batteries for laptops?

    I have a HP G71 340US laptop with battery 12 cells of 8800 mAh design ability.

    It is clear, that keep the laptop plugged in, and always have 100% charged battery is not the healthier diet for the battery.

    I found on the web that constantly loads and discharge of the battery (charge represent 9% to 100% and then back to 9% and so on) is also not the healthier diet for the battery.

    So my question is: what is the healthier diet for battery charge/discharge, assuming that the power source is still available?

    Apparently he sure software that can automatically, as for load regime cannot stopped being programmable, but maybe there is a software that can report the corresponding alerts, informing them that it is time to start charging or start to unload?

  • What is the best way to protect against keyloggers, monitoring tools, remote access, or whatever it is that allows someone else to access my laptop? ___

    History:

    Recently, I've had my laptop taken in charge and had to spend the money to have everything removed and reinstalled XP. I don't want it to happen again.

    Currently, I installed the following:

    • Ad-Aware
    • SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    • Spybot - Search & destroy
    • Command AntiVirus
    • Sygate Personal Firewall

    The question:

    I'm still not convinced that I am protected. Most likely because I'm not.
    An Ad-Aware scan found a tool called "Win32.Monitor.SpyBuddy".
    a few days only after reinstalling XP. There are probably more.
    I don't know that he even went. It just says: its been "Quarantined" and there is no option to remove it.

    Basically, I just want to know that my computer is protected from keyloggers, monitoring, & people tools remote access to my laptop. And I don't want to spend more money.
    How to achieve this?  An answer would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Do not try to rationalize anything. Just tell you what I know and I hope that I will find the absolute best way to keep keyloggers, tools of surveillance, & virus off my laptop in the process.

    You have been very helpful and I thank you.
