@GraveUypo Жыл бұрын

i had a similar spec laptop, same cpu, but mine had only 2gb of ram and the 250gb drive was an HDD (are you sure yours was an ssd?). it had radeon mobility HD3200 discrete graphics which made it quite a little budget beast. unfortunately the gpu went a couple years ago when i was kinda playing around with it. by playing around i mean overclocking the hell out of it! it became so much faster! it was sad because it worked fine the last time i used it, then turned it off and it never saw the light of day again ;-; i would fix it, but that would probably cost more than buy a better spec used one nowadays.

I used to play minecraft and need for speed world on it. Such a good times, on the summer it used to run almost 24/7 because the minecraft server that o had at the time. After 2 years the USB ports stopped working and dell gave me a refound, their customer support is really good. Maybe one day I’ll have another dell 😁. Great video man.

Some of these dells accept to raise the power limit using intel xtu. It may help a bit, combined with modded phdg drivers! The only case you won't be able to fix anything, is if it has "cpu current limit", wich sadly my dell 5537 with i7 4500u and radeon 8850m dedicated graphics had. That damn dell 5537 ran at 2.83ghz at the desktop, but if it had a load greater than 20% it would fall hard to 1.8ghz and stay there forever.

I have the higher specs variant of this model, with i5 4200U and GT 740M, after years of use, it suffers many issues: non-working webcam, damaged speaker, and most important, when trying to turn it on, sometimes it beeps (6-8 beeps), but it can still be turned on. I tried updating the BIOS, replaced the CMOS battery, but nothing works, the technician at an repair store that I brought this laptop to also doesn't know how to fix it, maybe the motherboard has some problems. I am thinking of selling all the working parts separately, as I am tired of fixing it.

My school loaned me a Latitude 3340, as most of our school work is online. Upon testing it, Game streaming and Android Emulator Games are actually playable. It's got 8 GB of RAM, a 128 Samsung SSD, an intel core i5 @ 1.70ghz, but sadly only 1 GB of VRAM, which makes almost any game on the Microsoft Store/Xbox Game Pass for PC, unplayable/uninstall able. There are very few games I can install due to the lack of VRAM and space needed, but I can get about 50-60 FPS on Bluestacks 5, running Clash of Clans, and about 80 FPS running Snapchat. It's an overall good PC, it can handle pretty intensive tasks well.
