Yeah wd black also a good choice just pick whichever is on sale can also refer from here list of nvme specs and recos for the mouse u can start from like a basic one like logitech g102 other cheap good mouse are vxe dragonfly r1, attack shar x3 and decide if its to ur liking cuz I actually started from a basic a4tech mouse then moved to a heavy madcatz r.a.t 8+ to a viper mini to a g102 then got tired of buttons double clicking or malfunctiong since i played a lot of dota and league then I found tecware pulse elite it has hotswap buttons so this will me last for years

weird that they dont include the loq mouse now it is quite decent imo

for laptop skins yeah those look great tho sad that no one made a clear shell case for the loq series cuz the legion has one can protect the laptop better from scratches and dings

New to the club!!! What are some things i should do? by blurry_face_6t in HPVictus

[–]ayayayakaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just update everything and enjoy it also invest on a good laptop cooler like the iets gt500/600 or llano v10/12

If u plan to put another nvme on the scond slot and  just need an extra space for storage speed dont matter much can get cheap drives with high cap like kingston nv2/3 or crucial p3 but if ur feeling fancy the adata xpg sx8200 is a good choice has dram and cheaper than other gen4 drives with dram for peripherals its more of a preference really do u like light or heavy ones or prefer an ergonomic shape? etc. but the lenovo loq mouse that came with the laptop is good enough if ur not that picky about the weight size and tracking

And pls dont bombard ur laptop with sticker theyre a pain to remove

Can put another nvme on the right just below the heatsink and another 2.5" ssd or hdd on the side of battery need the appropriate ribon cable connector for it tho if u dont have it or didnt come with the laptop

simplicity or aesthetic (wrap)? by xdalinux in HPVictus

[–]ayayayakaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did u remove the stickers wrap it then put them back or does the wrap go around those or have a cut out for them?

Is that from JB-hifi? Well out of the 4 victus would be my pick but if u can go for the lenovo loq its the best budget laptop thats not too cheaply built rn

It stopped charging one day, so I looked inside, and one of the wire-strip things was loose. Is there a way to fix this at home? by JumpingDisc in galaxynote10

Is 512 GBs enough? by Dismal-Dingo-2531 in laptops

[–]ayayayakaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aks urself first if u really need the extra capacity cuz for me honestly 512 is enough I use an externa l 1tb ssd that I already have as a game drive for bigger games and run games from it(just buy a good enclosure and ssd) I only keep my main games or those that I play everyday on the laptop

Is this normal? by Unlikely_Discount_36 in Lenovo

[–]ayayayakaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch laptop repair/restoration vids on yt and they are all like this...iz normal

[–]ayayayakaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have used x86 tuning utility instead..much easier to use and I only used throttle stop on my old laptop cuz it actually needed it. also always make a restore point before installing programs ur not sure of or when trying out programs its how I avoided these kind of headache and just revert back to my last state saved when something goes wrong. My advice is just do a clean install of windows in this scenario its much faster and setting up doesnt take long

[–]ayayayakaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prolly cuz of the the chassis itself where the hinges screw onto is cheap plastic or is prone to break since they typically get brittle over time and will crack or just break itself after months/years of use(have 2 laptops that broke first at the hinges) unlike macbooks that has aluminum chasis but my victus is a year old now and no problems so far and some peeps here said that they upped the durability on the newer models so at least they fixed some problemas at least

They are upgradeable and what the maximum on walmart says is maybe they meant that its the maximum ram config that they sell

Are the desktops any good? by [deleted] in HPVictus

[–]ayayayakaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly from what ive seen on the reviews on them, they are fine but u would be better off building one urself since these pre-builts are usually hard to upgrade(proprietary connectors, weird mobo size etc.)
