We all forgot to wish Guru a Happy Birthday this week! So happy belated birthday @ValDes

Another year younger must feel good.

Guru's birthday? OMG! I didn't know that!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURU-SAN!

May the years make you happier but not too younger (lest it'll make you naughtier)!

Look who is lurking on our forum.

It's been a while since I have posted anything about Boris Johnson.

@Blackjax I watched this on Facebook the other day - hysterical

Guuuys...it is new laptop day for me!

Been having a nightmare with my old one, couldn't even have multiple tabs open at the same time without it crashing every two minutes. I really wanted a Mac and found one in the sale but still couldn't justify spending that on myself. Soooo, I've gone with a trusted HP at half the price and I am back in business.

Best of luck with your HP. I am having a horrible experience with my HP. Hope your experience is better. Mine is a bit older though.

HP and Dell the best for me Personally due to support and their warranty claims.

I agree on the support part in regards with HP. They provide great customer care service.

Yes I eyed few Dell up to, fancied their touch screens but some of them were more expensive than a Mac!

I've used HP, Dell and Compaq before, but am not moving away from ASUS now...the best laptop yet in every sense for me...8 years now without a glitch, except for the harddisk, which I've changed to SSD (Solid State Disk).

Ahh yes I seen lots of Asus ones also, my last one was HP and it lasted well which I think is why I was inclined to stay the same. Yes, this is also SSD  

[cocopop3011]

Guys help me out though - how do I change the touchpad settings? It's too sensitive, struggling to do anything without tapping a million other things.

[Blackjax]

Go  to Start >> Settings >> Devices >> Touchpad >> Taps >> Touchpad sensitivity, and select the type of sensitivity you want from the drop down list.

was looking at the HP notebooks and they start from around 329e up to about 3600e ! the top of the range comes fitted with a nVidia GeForce RTX3080 16GB graphics but the lower range gets Intel® UHD 600 graphics.

I've never liked HP products very much cos they don't last very long. I've had one HP laptop and printer before and none lasted more than 6 years. Same with Compaq too, which I thought would be a better product than HP, but they're about the same. Guess that's why they slightly cheaper than Asus.

[Fiekie247]

I like only Dell now, have 4 products, 5420 and 7420. Simply awesome. I like the onsite warranty.

HP has been degrading for me over the last few years to be honest.

Done it but I'm really confused and it's bugging me now to the point where I may have to get a mouse!

Do i need high or low sensitivity? It seems to still be tapping other things regardless of which setting I use. Or maybe it's just because I am so used to me old one.

I was going to ask you if you are using a mouse or not ... but now you saying you weren't using one...

just turn off the touchpad and use the mouse all day everyday, its far better that way.

[Afi4wins]

When my mouse went dead, I had to use the touchpad instead, and for several days (all shops closed due to Covid), I had to torture myself using it! It was so slow as compared to using a mouse...and I find it a nuisance actually!

[cocopop3011]

I have always used the touchpad with all my previous laptops but I think I'm going to have to switch. I have changed all the settings but nothing seems to be making it better!

[ValDes]

Guuuuyyyysss!

It has been ages since my last post here! Just wanted to stop by and check how you're doing.  

To be honest, I miss my 'forum days' sooooo much!

Apologies for obviously missing these... 

And thanks for your wishes and for not forgetting me despite my unforgiving forum abandonment!

I didn't know too, very happy birthday @ValDes wish you all the happiness this year

Agree with you @Afi4wins my 1st laptop was ASUS and it lasted for 10 years, poor thing. Now I have Dell 1 year old, will see how many years he'll  put up with me
