New Alienware 13 R2 OLED at best buy

I bought and returned the new 13 R2 OLED Best Buy Alienware laptop. I bought it with anticipation to a fast SSD drive, because it comes with a slow 500 GB hard drive on a regular basis. I took apart and Alienware does not all ports for one SSD. It makes no sense, I wanted to put a SSD 950 PRO NVMe 512 GB SSD Samsung in the laptop. Save time and not buy one, I ended up ordering just the high-end off Alienware's website.

It looks like from the manual that if you get the version with a HARD drive, you get the HARD drive and the caddy that comes with it, however, if you get the SSD version, they have a daughter and caddy card that replaces the HARD drive in the same dwelling.  You could have called Dell and purchased the caddy SSD maybe.  The device is so small that they cannot be able to have both installed.

    As far as I know, Dell will not sell or export a computer to another country, other than the United States, you can buy a Dell of Dell in Australia.

  • Mini Displayport does not not on the new Best Buy Yoga 14 (Yoga 460)

    Yesterday, I bought one of the brand new 14 Yoga from Best Buy, the one with the stylus, which is basically a 460 yoga.

    Mini Displayport does not work. Hook up a monitor makes the system to hang for about 15 seconds, and no screen is detected.

    All Windows and Lenovo software are up to date.

    I use a Mini DP--> HDMI adapter, but I've never had problems with it on other computers.

    I have ordered another cable converter and will try that tomorrow.

    Lenovo is aware of this problem? Is there a solution?


  • We had Best Buy install a new motherboard and have now no Windows XP. How can reinstall us with no available disks?

    We took our best Buy HP cleaan out and install a new motherboard, but now we must not be pulled up to Window XP and theyu advised us that we need to buy it again.  Is it possible to reinstall windows XP without buying the whole program again.

    -What did they replace the motherboard with an identical?  If so, Windows XP may be able to run.  What happens when you try to start it?

    Don't have they replaced the hard drive?  If this is not the case, there could be a recovery partition on the disk that you can use to install Windows XP.

    Otherwise, contact the manufacturer of the computer for an installation disc.

    You shouldn't buy a new copy of XP.  A computer repairman competent all these possibilities would discuss with you before starting the repair work.

  • Should I bring my HP desktop computer new back to Best Buy?

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion Desktop 500-164 nodel.  It came with the Windows 8.0 operating system.  He also had a Norton Product on the disk.  I have been using Norton for many years and have several licensed copies.  After turning on my new PC, I went to activate Norton.  I got a message saying that Norton is not compatible with Windows 8.0.  I was shocked...  Why HP factory install this software if it is not compatible with the operating system?  I did some research and discovered that Norton will run if I update the OS to 8.1.  I did, and Norton is running.

    So far so good... Until...

    I find now that I have occasional difficulties, connection to the internet.  I have located the problem to my new office.  All other PCs in my house to connect without a problem.  I noticed a message in "HP Support Assistant.  I check it out and asked to have my new Desktop checked to see if HP has tested my office with Win. 8.1, while, incompatible drivers might cause problems with the connection to the internet.  (hmmmmm... looks like my problem)

    I have run the check only to find that HP has NOT certified of my desktop with Win 8.1.  Therefore, I can not receive updated which are compatible with my system drivers. (my system has updated a few times since I turned it on)   For the most part, my system over time, could seriously errode and become unusable.

    It's amazing.  I buy a system with preinstalled software that are not compatible and cannot now be updated for more recent versions of the operating system without serious consequences.  Are there plans to certify this combination to Win 8.1 desktop computers?  HP is just going to let this Destop like that?

    Can anyone provide some assistance?  Or, should I return this box at Best Buy and replace it with a Dell or IBM product?

    Appreciate all the thoughts, comments and advice.

    BTW, I am an HP retiree, I only use HP products.  I'm quite surprised HP would put an office there unsupported.

    Please tell me I'm wrong to understand something?  ;-)

    Bob

    Thank you much for Bill's response.  I really appreciate it.  Yes, Norton which was incompatible with Win 8.0 was the version that has been preinstalled on the hard drive.  I opened one that was preinstalled and got the error message.  Sorry I can't tell you exactly what message I got, it has been a while.  In essence, the message said that Norton is incompatible with Wiin 8.0.  Then, I went on this forum and learned that I would need to udate to 8.1 to run Norton I did.  It has worked OK at this time.

    I see the same exact material that my PC configuration is now shipped with Win 8.1.  Once I realized I felt much better.  My PC is a 500-164.  The PC being bundled with 8.1 is 500-214.

    Thanks a lot for the next upward.  Yet once again, I really appreciate it!

  • Given to nine iPhone 6s of best buy

    I tried to buy an iPhone 6/s 64GB and found a given model on the Web from Best Buy site. My only concern is whether or not the Apple warranty will continue to apply, or if I'd be stuck with Geek Squad 90 days of Best Buy warranty. I would like to buy refurbished to save money, but not if it means losing the Apple warranty. A 90-day Best Buy warranty does not seem like a long enough guaranteed if something is wrong with the phone. Any ideas?

    It is not only the guarantee which is a problem. Apple will not provide a warranty for a used iPhone purchased at Best Buy.

    Refurbished or not, the iPhone is more than likely still associated with Apple ID of the previous owner, which means that you would not be able to configure the iPhone with your Apple ID.

    Better to buy a new iPhone directly from Apple.

  • I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC?

    Licensing

    I have a copy of windows vista that I installed on my laptop, I am looking to buy a new PC soon, what I have to buy a new copy of vista, or can I use my code on my new PC? I do not plan to use my laptop again once I get this PC is it possible to transfer the license via?

    No problem.

    First of all, backup all your data of the laptop if you have not already.

    When you have done this, the best way to do this is to delete the partition with Vista on it. See the website below for more information:

    http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/delete_a_partition_using_the_vista_dvd.htm

    Once you have finished deleting your partition, the laptop will have nothing about it, so you can choose to reinstall an earlier version of Windows or simply put away to deal with later. You can now legally install the copy of Windows Vista on your new machine.

  • Studio XPS 8100 - (Best Buy Version) bought end of 2010 4 GB DDR3 Ram problems 1333Ghz

    Greetings,

    I bought a Studio XPS 8100 in late 2010 at a Best Buy store. It came with 4 cylinders of 2GB 1066Ghz (each cylinder), adding up to a total of 8GB spread on 4Slots, all of a sudden one of the slot (Slot 2 to be precise) Ram began to fail, so computer would beep to reveal no ram or sometimes ram write failure etc. So, to avoid problems with this slot (Slot 2), I got rid of all four locations of 2 GB and wanted to replace them with the following ram: "(Kingston HyperX FURY 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM quantité = 2 d'ajouter jusqu'à 8Go en Kit) ', but my computer is beeping not revealing no ram detected." Now, according to the Studio XPS manual, the configuration can be either Ghz 1066 or 1333 Ghz as long ram DDR3 of Ram.

    I would like to know why my new 8 GB kit (2x4gb 1333 Ghz) does not work with my computer Studio XPS 8100? RAM is correctly inserted on the slot 1 and 3 (I even tried different slot combinations).

    It would be a great help if you guys can let me know what DDR3 1333 Ghz Ram is compatible with my Studio XPS 8100.

    Thank you!

    I contact Kingston technical support and get their help.

    I think the chipset on the studio XPS 8100 is H57.

    H57 is not listed as a compatible chipset on the webpage the HyperX fury.

    http://www.Kingston.com/us/HyperX/memory/fury

    Could it be the timing or Sub timings and memory density or...

    Kingston has maybe a different kit that will work and they can exchange.

    or return it and check the crucial.

  • Updated new Alienware 17 with CPU and GPU

    Hi all

    I would like to know if it is technically possible to upgrade my new alienware 17 (i7 4800 and gtx 770 m) with a view to graphics card like gtx 780 m and a microprocessor quick as processor 6 or even 8 if these are forthcoming. The motherboard will support the cpu and the gpu? And wil cooling well then?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    PFYAAA

    PFYAAA,

    The motherboard supports this upgrade.
    * No. we do not support the kernel following Dell OEM 4 processors:
    C8HRG i7-4930MX 3.00 GHz
    HDX3D i7-4900MQ 2.80 GHz
    M 036 4 i7-4800MQ 2.70 GHz
    86XWW i7-4700MQ 2.40 GHz

    the cooling system which would allow?
    * Because we never test them, we do not know.

    with a higher graphics card?
    * You could pass to the GTX780m of the Dell OEM.
    2K0KW Nvidia GeForce GTX780m N14E - GTX 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with support, thermal pad
    YP26V GTX780m GPU thermal Module right 100w

    and even a core 6 is already available in configuration alienwares 18.
    * Where do you see that? I have seen that the AW17 and the AW18 offer the same 4 core CPU?

    I want to change the 1 TB 5400 RPM with a ssd 512 MB or larger. I have to leave the 256mSATA as boot drive? or he clone for the ssd and use it as a boot drive and mSATA as storage and someone has this configuration, I assumed that all pilots will be resided on the mstat what comes on the hard drive of 5400rmp do I need to transfer stuff into the ssd

    As Tesla has pointed out, the best way to do is to replace the 1 TB with the largest SSD HARD drive, and then let the mSATA SSD as boot drive. All the drivers and the operating system will remain unmodified on the SSD and you would just transfer your data from the HARD disk of 1 TB for the new SSD.
