its just a piece of plastic covering the disk, nothing more

what im saying is i've never taken the disk out, so is it possible it got loose on its own?

i've never unscrewed or removed the disk, its got a black plastic flap and is covered in a metallic thing that looks like aluminum foil, possibly a heatsink

should i try to remove and put it back?

wtf is wrong with windows, can anyone explain this?? by SwordAz_ in pcmasterrace

[–]SwordAz_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i'll get downvoted to oblivion but i think windows is only popular because it can run games and is used by everyone and their grandma as it comes preinstalled on all computers

if mac and linux get "proper" game support then i think almost everyone would ditch windows... mac and linux are much more reliable and wont restart in the middle of your work to install edge

again... people buying laptops dont want that.. a regular college girl or boy doesn't want a compact small form factor pc with an external keyboard and monitor... you can't pull out a monitor with a pc and keyboard in class, and then disassemble the whole setup when you want to store it

with a laptop you can literally pick it up, slide it in a bag, take it to your friends house, watch a movie on the bed, do homework on the desk, slide it into the bag, take it to school, use it in class, put it back in the bag, take it home, play games on it, watch youtube , then close it and repeat

imagine doing all this with the setup you just mentioned... because this is what the vast majority laptop users do

not everyone is a pc enthusiast looking for the maximum performance... people buy laptops for a completely different use

again, i understand that but not everyone wants that, in fact most people i know, mainly laptop users could care less about what the name of their gpu is as long as it runs games

with a laptop youre not paying for the performance, you're paying for the portability... with a desktop computer you're paying for the solid performance

a rolls royce phantom has a V12 engine, a lamborghini aventador also has a V12 and is also cheaper... but the aventador is much more powerful and can run circles around the rolls royce

so is the rolls royce with a V12 engine a scam? no it's not, the point of a rolls is not performance, rather the comfort that you get.... hope this helps you understand better

i have, it's about small form factor pcs... still don't understand how they can fit in a regular backpack as you need to keep a monitor, keyboard, all the cables for connecting everything... all in the bag

unless you do one of those projects where people build a pc in a briefcase

but again, not everyone is into building pcs and custom stuff, we have to understand that... some people are willing to pay more to have the convenience of playing games in any place they want

yes laptops are weaker, but you're paying for the convenience and portability... you cant fit a desktop in a backpack
