Hi everyone,

With Memorial Day just around the corner, I’m on the hunt for some great deals on laptops and PCs. As a student, my budget is pretty tight, but I need a reliable machine for schoolwork, assignments, and some light gaming. I'm hoping to find something that balances performance and affordability.

What I’m Looking For:
Budget: Ideally under $1000, but can stretch a bit if the deal is exceptional.
Usage: Mostly for schoolwork (Word, Excel, online research), multimedia (watching lectures and movies), and light gaming.
Specs: Minimum 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, decent battery life, and a good screen (preferably FHD).
Preferred Brands:
Lenovo
ASUS
Acer
Open to suggestions if there’s a killer deal on another brand
Questions:
What are the best places to look for Memorial Day deals? I’m thinking of checking Amazon, Best Buy, and directly on the manufacturer’s websites. Any other suggestions?
Are there specific models that you recommend for my needs? I’ve heard good things about the Lenovo and HP Envy series.
Should I wait for Memorial Day itself or are the deals just as good leading up to the day? I’ve seen some early deals, but I’m wondering if they’ll get better.
Student discounts or bundles? Are there any special discounts for students that I should be aware of? Some companies offer student pricing or bundles with software that could be really useful.
Early Deals I’ve Found:
Lenovo IdeaPad 3: $479 on Amazon – 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel i3
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! If anyone else is also looking for a laptop or PC, feel free to share what you’ve found or ask questions here. Let’s help each other out to snag the best deals this Memorial Day!

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to this community because I've encountered a bit of a technical hiccup with my Ubuntu desktop, and I could really use some guidance.

Here's the problem: Recently, I've been experiencing some erratic behavior with my Ubuntu system. Specifically, certain applications seem to be crashing unexpectedly, and I've noticed a significant slowdown in overall performance. Additionally, I've been encountering intermittent connectivity issues with my network, which is making it difficult for me to stay productive.

I've tried a few troubleshooting steps on my own, such as checking for system updates, running diagnostic tests, and rebooting my router, but unfortunately, none of these efforts have resolved the issue.

I'm not exactly a Linux expert, so I'm hoping that some of you more experienced users might be able to offer some insight or suggestions for how I can further diagnose and address these problems. Whether it's pointing me toward relevant log files to examine, recommending specific commands to run, or suggesting potential software conflicts to investigate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

For reference, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a relatively new desktop computer with decent hardware specs. If you need any additional information about my system configuration or the specific symptoms I'm experiencing, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Community Members,

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm reaching out to seek some assistance regarding an error issue I've been encountering while trying to run a particular program on my Windows laptop. I've tried troubleshooting on my own but haven't been successful, so I'm turning to this forum for guidance.

Here's a brief overview of the problem

I've been encountering an error issue while attempting to run on my Windows laptop. Whenever I try to launch the program, I consistently receive an error message stating, The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). This error prevents me from accessing the program and using it for my work.

Despite trying various troubleshooting steps such as reinstalling the program, updating my graphics drivers, and running compatibility checks, the problem persists. I've also made sure that my Windows operating system is up-to-date and that there are no pending updates for the program.

I'm using a Windows 10 laptop with 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7 processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card.

I'm at a loss for what else to try, and any assistance or suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

Hello Trend Micro community members,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm encountering an issue with my monitor that I believe might be related to my display or video settings, and I'm hoping some of you experienced users can offer some guidance.

The Problem:
My monitor sometimes exhibits strange behavior, such as flickering, color distortion, or even complete blackouts, when I'm using my computer. I suspect this might be related to my display or video settings, but I'm not entirely sure. It's frustrating, and I'd like to identify the root cause of the issue.

My Approach:
To troubleshoot this problem, I'm considering two approaches, and I'd appreciate your input and suggestions on these:

Testing in Windows Safe Mode: I plan to boot my computer into Windows Safe Mode to see if the issue persists. If it doesn't, I assume that some third-party application or driver might be causing the problem. If it still occurs in Safe Mode, it could be a hardware or core Windows issue.

Testing with Different Applications: I'll also experiment by using various applications to see if the issue is application-specific. For example, I'll try watching videos, playing games, and using different software to determine if the problem is consistent across all applications.

My Questions:

Have any of you encountered similar monitor issues before?
Do you have any additional troubleshooting steps or recommendations?
Can you suggest any specific applications or tests I should run to help diagnose the problem?
Are there any known conflicts between Trend Micro software and display/video drivers that might be worth investigating?
I'm open to any advice or insights you can provide to help me resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing a bit of a technical hiccup and I thought this would be the best place to seek some guidance. Recently, I purchased a 4K portable monitor to enhance my remote work setup. It's a fantastic device, but unfortunately, I've run into some issues that I can't seem to resolve on my own.

Monitor Details:

Model:  4K Portable Monitor
Connection: USB-C

Problem:
The monitor seemed to work flawlessly initially. The picture quality was outstanding, and it was a great addition to my workspace. However, after a few days of usage, I encountered a peculiar problem. The monitor's display started flickering randomly, especially when I was multitasking or moving the mouse cursor around. The flickering isn't constant, but it's frequent enough to be very distracting and make prolonged use uncomfortable.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Checked Connections: I ensured that the USB-C cable is properly connected to both my laptop and the monitor. The flickering persists regardless of cable adjustments.
Driver Updates: I visited the manufacturer's website and checked for updated drivers for the monitor. I installed the latest driver, but the flickering problem persists.
Different Lapm not entirely sure if this is a hardware issue with the monitor or if there's something else I can try on the software end. I'm hoping some of you might have faced similar issues or have expertise in troubleshooting such problems. Any guidance or suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Additional Information:

Laptop Model: Ultrabook
Operating System: Windows 10
Graphics Card: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics

I'm considering reaching out to customer support, but I thought it would be wise to gather insights from the community here first. Have any of you dealt with a similar issue? Or do you have any ideas about what might be causing this flickering problem? Your assistance would mean a lot to me.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Stella
