    Is this AMD laptop good?

    Hi, im on the verge of buying a laptop for my studies (adobe software). I've come across a Lenovo Yoga 500. It has an AMD Quad Core A8-7410 and a Radeon R5 M330. The more expensive model has an i5-5200U but only HD5500 graphics, and I believe I need the dedicated GPU for more heavy tasks in...

    Hi, I built a Skylake PC for my brother few days ago. I had some issues with the ram, as I could not get a signal using both sticks in slot 2/4. Only by using 1 stick did I get a signal. Then I tried moving both to 1/3 and I got a signal. I then moved both back to 2/4 and still had a signal...
