Laptop under $800 recommendation


I have bad experience with Asus Laptop with dedicated Card, I remember the A52JT model (one of my bro bought in Taiwan). It have GPU issue, it too hot and lead to mobo dead (no alternative graphic), so only option is replace mobo with Chinese made (no GPU obviously). 
And I see mobo design seem not good, too little heat sink. May be it's OK in Taiwan climate but in VN hot summer it's disaster. But I assume that this is a design failure. 

=> Vivo with GPU => big No ?

Due to highly share of Lenovo and Hp PC/Laptop so there are more chance you got an issue or user reporting about these big brand. Especially on Lenovo since they have many product line for cheap low end product.

See Electronic repair school channel, most case are with Lenovo, then HP. I will do some research and report summary of which laptop brand is mostly go to repair shop from this channel later.

Next month or so I will have enough money for a new (gaming) laptop, as my current one is really out of date.

Figured almost everything out. 16GB RAM, GTX 1070(M) for graphics and no need to buy a large SSD as I already have one.


Main issue is the CPU. I could go with an i7 7700HQ, which is pretty much the standard laptop cpu.

Or go 8th gen with an i5 8400 or 8600k, which of course would be a desktop cpu and come with a desktop GTX 1070.


All options are affordable but ranging from "I can easily buy this" with the 7700HQ to "Only if it's worth the money" with 8600k. So the big question is, is it worth to pay the higher price?



This guy recommend is good and list product in Google sheet is good way.

Yeah notes some key info on final decide to buy like new Dell Work Station (18m VND).

Laptop keyboard.

I love my Dell Vostro (and many other soft and quiet keyboard like MBP 2015) Mac Keyboard...

And replacing is seem too difficult (original is hard to find and expensive), OEM China is crappy and soon broke again and typing feel is horrible.

So consider buying a laptop for heavy typing like programmer => it is a important point. I don't need number pad (Louis Rosmann seem have a comment on this too). I'm not again it but upper number is good for me, additional keypad make me type wrongly and lost on navigation arrow key.

Cuộn hồi tiếp trong biến áp xung

Bài này note lại 1 số tài liệu và hoạt động của cuộn hồi tiếp. Khi mới cấp điện, dòng điện chảy qua điện trở R119 (1M) làm nhiệm vụ mồi cho C1915 dao động! Khi C1815 nhận được thiên áp ở cực B thì nó bắt đầu dao động với tần số phụ thuộc vào tụ C399(473) và R299 ! Dao động của C1815 được 13001khuếch đại công suất và 13001 có tải là cuộn sơ cấp biến áp! 13001 bắt đầu đóng mở dòng qua bién áp làm suất hiện điện áp cảm ứng ở cuộn hồi tiếp và thứ cấp! Cuộn hồi tiếp cấp điện áp hồi tiếp cho C1815 dao động thông qua D299 (4V7) và điện áp này được lọc ở C299 (10uF) Khi có điện áp hồi tiếp rồi thì mạch tiếp tục dao động và ta có điện áp ở thứ cấp! R119 chỉ là mồi! Ảnh tự up phòng khi link ảnh die:
