If the graphics card isn't glitchy, you paid the correct amount for that laptop.
>>
Seems like a decent price
>>
>>53652664
Damn, dual gfx card laptop? Only 500? Sounds like a dream to me.

>>53652644

well good i just didnt want to get ripped off

>>53652723
i guess one of them plugs into the ultrabay or something

I bought this laptop in 2014 it over heats has CPU throttling issues and micro stuttering.

A really really terrible Intel wireless chip. For 500 it isn't bad, just get a cooler.
>>
Not bad anon.

I would have bought also.
>>
Honestly good job. What's the laptop?
>>
>>53652750
Why does it micro stutter?
>>
>>53652750
well he changed the wireless card to an Intel 7260 AC wireless card and modded the BIOS to accept such

honestly no idea about wireless cards so i assume this one is better
>>
>>53652574
Yeah you did a good job. Too bad that laptop doesn't exist.
>>
>>53652771
oh sorry i forgot that, it is a lenovo ideapad y510p

>>53652819
yes it does. i mean not stock because the guy upgraded the SSD (from the 8 or 24 GB cache SSD)

Got this used for $600
Good deal y/n
>>
>>53652778
Mostly heating issues the CPU throttled down to cool off. There is no fan controller you can easily override with sli those cards get hot. You need a cooling pad really badly.

you're the ebay guy right? you won't know whether or not you fucked up till it arrives, and if you did fuck up there won't be much you can do since you decided to go ahead and pay through paypal instead of ebay

Not OP.

You'd be surprised how little rich people give a shit about money, maybe just wanted to get rid of it.
>>
>>53652574
Depends on the condition and if you got a warranty.

No warranty, little banged up: you made a small fuck-up.

Warranty, nearly new: you did fine.
>>
>>53653201
no warranty, it was signs of use wear on keyboard and palmrest and some on screen bezel from opening/closing
>>
>>53652574
Does the battery work well?
>>
>>53652574
enjoy your cursed laptop faggot.
>>
>>53652574
>Display: 15.6"
>1920x1080
Better find a huge trashcan to throw this abomination in.

Though the price is alright if you're a poorfag.
>>
>>53653288
whats wrong with ut
>>
>>53653310
The size means that it's pretty shitty at being a laptop. The resolution means that it's pretty shit at everything that uses a screen.

That said, it's a solid, compact desktop replacement for the price.
>>
>>53653360
i didnt realize 1920x1080 is shit resolution. should i have gotten 1366x768
>>
>>53653384
Dis is 2016 yo. 1080 on 15" was acceptable back in 2012 or so.
>>
>>53653404
so should i have gotten a 4k then?
>>
>>53653384
>>53653412
My resolution is 3840x2160. Movies look decent. You should step it up.
>>
>>53653412
You won't go back, trust me I'm a 4k guy
>>
>>53653384
I thought that too. Every other day /g/ bitches about laptops not having greater than 1366x768 but apparently today 1080p is sacrilege. Laptop's fine. Better than the ThinkPad /g/ memed me into.
>>
>>53653412
Ideally yes, or a least something above 1080.
>>
>>53653439
>watching movies on a laptop

any movie I get i play to my fire tv on my tv and sound system

>>53653441
i dont see a need for 4k. I don't watch things on my laptop
>>
>>53653468
It's not about movies, it's about everything else. There's not really much in the way of 4k content anyway
>>
>>53653468

>watching movies on a laptop

Yes nigger, when I'm traveling I watch movies on my laptop. Or I bring a hdmi cable and plug it into the tv in my hotel.

Jeez, get out of your basement once and a while.
>>
>>53653506
>travels
>stays in room watching movies

get out of your fucking basement
>>
>>53653532

Are you fucking kidding me!

You don't watch TV when you're going to bed.
>>
>>53652989
Thats not alienware you retard thats lenovo

>>53653724

>>
>>53652574
I'm using that exact model, paid 1500 canbux for it 2 years ago :p
>>
>>53652750
>I don't know how to reapply better thermal paste and mod for easier air flow

Sounds like someone who should own a Mac.
>>
>>53654657
i reapplied my thermal paste to your mom to allow easier air flow between her legs
>>
>>53652574
Depends on the brand. If it's not ASUS or an XPS, the quality of the motherboard chipsets can be iffy.

On the fuckup scale:
0 if the machine model is proven reliable
5 if stuff starts to break

Honestly, even if it dies, you still got a huge steal. Good job, anon.

OP, are you trying to make yourself sterile or something? If so, then you definitely bought the right laptop for the job.

>complains about an i7, which can be perfectly fine if they're the efficient dual core versions
>not the SLI laptop GPU
>>
>>53657131
Anything more than an Atom is overkill, and dGPUs are for desktops.
>>
>>53657131
Also see >>53656962
>>
>>53657139
Atoms chug on basic tasks, this is going too far. An efficient 28W or below dual core i5 or i7 can play well with the battery. And now we have Core M, m3, m5, and m7 that are only 4.5W and aren't too bad in power to performance ratio.
>>
>>53657202
Even an Atom N270 is sufficient, a quad core modern Atom is spoiling yourself.
>>
>>53652574
you got scammed, easy as that, i've even saw this item myself.
I Hope you payed via paypal dude, otherwise...
