Thanks, yes its better to use it as external hard drive. Does the enclosure is compatible with usb 3.0 ?
Enclosure comes in two types:usb 2 & usb 3.I suggest getting this,it has good looks & worth its price:

My HP G6 pavilion 2005ax laptop is about 7 years old. For the last 1 year I didn't use it because of a faulty HDD. So now thought if reviving it, I'm planning to put a new HDD and add a new 4gb ram onto the existing 4gb. Do you think will the machine be able to run for 1 to 2 years? Done some initial checks like memory diagnostics to confirm the motherboard's working condition. The tests are running without any flaws. What would you suggest? Should I go upgrading this or get a new one ? The new purpose is to practice Machine learning.
No checks for mobo,adding 4gb ram only required if needed as it has no effect on "revival" of laptop.New 2.5 hdd comes very cheap nowadays so no harm in spending ~3k to see if it works(worst case scenario you can always use it as portable hdd with another system/laptop).Just don't spend more than 5k on such an old laptop repairing(if it is required).

Thank you! I will give my laptop for mobo testing to check its condition. If the outcome is good, I'll add 4 GB Ram stick and a new HDD. Else, I have to start looking for a new laptop to do some basic ML stuff.

Hello every one.. Planning to buy a laptop for multiple purposes like medium gaming and photo editing.
Must need: Fast ssd 128 gb atleast, good screen(colour and contrast), long lasting battery.
Budget will be within Rs. 90,000 to 1 lac.
I have eye on some of the laptops listed below(priority wise) but cant decide as i have to sacrifice either gpu or processor.
1. Asus GL503VD- GZ240T 2017(i7- 7th gen, gtx 1050. 120hz )
2. Asus Zenbook UX430UN(i7-8th gen, intel integrated gpu)
3.Dell Inspirion 7570(i5-8th gen, 940mx)
4. Asus vivobook 15(i5-8th gen, 150mx gpu)
5. Dell 9360 2017(i7-7th gen, intel gpu)
5. Macbook pro 13(budget too high)
I have listed asus gl503vd as top priority as i feel it suits my needs. But i feel doubtful as to how the i7 7700 HQ will perform for photo or video related work.
If anyone can help me decide which one would be better.

Hi friends
My son is doing BCA from IP University. I have a desktop at home but I think a laptop would help him in his studies further. One of our friend from USA is coming to India and I can get a laptop through him.
Pls suggest me one new or old or open piece of laptop which he can buy from California upto rs.20000 max. I don't want SSD only HDD as it would be cheaper. But I do need good battery life.
What are refurnished laptops and are they reliable?
Does any co gives international warranty too, how about dell?
No idea about rest of the configuration as I HV not purchased any laptop till now but it should be such that it should be sufficient when he does his MCA or MBA.
Regards

Check newegg or amazon or bestbuy US sites.Frankly speaking though getting a laptop from USA for 20k is not something most people would even think about.It is mostly used for laptops costing 50-60k & more in USA which would cost(assuming same model is even available in India) here at least 30-50% more. Look for minimum i3 7th gen & 4gb ram(though 8gb recommended nowadays).

All are very old gen processors,if that's what you are getting then better spend some more because getting anything older than 6th gen intel processors is not recommended especially if this laptop is going to be used for long & as a primary device.

Then I think I should increase my budget to 25000.
Can u now suggest something good in this new budget.

In would suggest a budget between 400 to $ 500. Anything below that is compromise on features. See this. Hp laptop for $390

Please reply with filled questionnaire.
You can't do gaming on macbooks. They don't have the hardware for it. Be open to importing laptop as you won't get a good one in India for the budget.

Why are you comparing laptop with TVs?
