Worst Customer Service Experience I have ever recieved

Received my new XPS 9350 yesterday and the touchpad wouldn't respond to small movements, especially diagnonal ones, and it would jerk around as it did and jump in unexpected directions. I tried the Synaptics fix that is posted on this board, but it made the motions unpredictable so I went back to the original config.

This morning I called Dell Support and after testing and trying different things that didn't help, the technician decided to reset Windows 10.

After the reset, the...

After visiting with our friends at Eurocom about their quest to drive the future of computing technology, I decided to pose the question to the community to brainstorm as many ideas as possible.

I could not identify a perfect sub-forum for it, so I chose this one. It is not for one company, but all of them. Hopefully, they will be paying attention. I know that the Eurocom Team will be, and hopefully at least a couple of others that care enough to be disruptive.

XPS 15 9550 temperature observations (undervolt + repaste)

I had a couple of hours to mess around with the XPS 15 9550 in my sig (i5 version) and decided to see what temperatures I was hitting. I tested it under Prime95 small fft's for 20 minutes and looked at the average temperature. I tested it first with all stock settings/paste and then undervolted by 185mv (a setting that is prime stable for me). After that I repasted the cpu and gpu with IC Diamond thermal paste, tried it at stock voltage, and then undervolted again.

Here are the results...

AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352HMB bluetooth driver for Vaio VPCZ13

Bought the AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352HMB (AzureWave AW-CE123H) from Amazon to install it on my Sony Vaio VPC Z13 (W-Lan card, 802.11ac + BT4.0 Mini PCI-e, 867 Mbit/s). The wifi works out of the box with the Broadcom driver, however the bluetooth doesn't. The operating system is Windows 10. Does anybody know where to get the bluetooth driver?

This thread is for all GT72/GT72S and GT80/GT80S owners.

MSI Current Status 8/22/2016:
Right now as I open this thread, MSI support is saying we should all buy new laptops instead of asking for upgrades. :rolleyes:o_O

Of course we all know that MSI promised 2 generations of GPU upgrades for the MXM laptop models GT72/GT72S and GT80/GT80S.

We need to stick together and compare notes on the upcoming MSI Pascal GPU upgrades for our laptops.

Please post your communications with MSI, positive...

@Prema has made a poll here:

https://polldaddy.com/poll/9501858/

Do you already own a recent MXM system and would like to upgrade to Pascal? Are you among those that is used to always getting the most of your high end laptops by upgrading GPUs for a tiny fraction of the cost of a new machine? Are you angry about the lack of options and feeling like you got screwed by the proprietary new Pascal crap?

Hello,
I've never really used laptops that much since I've always had a PC at home, but I'm moving to the UK next week to start my studies in fashion design so I need to get a laptop to bring to classes. I have no idea which model to choose so I'm asking for Your advice. As I already mentioned the main purpose of it would be design work, but I would also like to play games from time to time. I'm looking for something portable as I will have to bring the laptop with me to classes everyday,...

As I am one of the assistant editors at Major Geeks, I thought I would create a thread here with the most popular program updates for ease of access.

I only support software with no PUPs as I am against PUPs no matter how great a program might be.

Sometimes I may post updates to paid programs only if I think they are really worth it.

Note: If an app has a setup file or a portable (.ZIP) version, I usually link to the portable version as it's easier to manage and doesn't need to be...

How do the eMMCs in 2016 model cheap laptops compare to my 3-year old, cheapest, budget 120 GB SSD (insert whatever), how do they compare to regular notebook HDDs sold in 2016 (I hear, albeit slowly, these are improving as well)? Are they fast enough for your OS and system file to be relatively snappy?
