    • @ajfromca
      @ajfromca 5 лет назад +1

      Bishnu Shrestha just about anything you can do from a USB type A port. There are generational differences but they are functionally the same in terms of use. Think of use-c at the future interface, as time passes more and more things are using this port design over usb-a.
      The 840 did not get thunderbolt until the G5 and this is the G3, thunderbolt uses the usb-c interface but is much faster and supported things like graphics card due to be connected to the PCIe rails. Not exactly part of your question but I think it’s really good info to have.

    It’s a great laptop, presently using it for coding. Found the keys on this to be nicer than the newer M2 MacBook Pro so there’s that. All metal build. The speakers aren’t that loud and you can’t game on it but it’s great for all programming and text related tasks and other cpu intensive programs. Not mind-blowing but still worth every penny. Windows 11 runs great on it, but you need to mess with TPM to make Win11 work on it.

    I managed to find i7 16gb ram 500gb SSD for £250 in great condition. Is that a good price?
    Any opinions will be helpful.

      Elitebooks are generally good workhorses. Sounds like a good price for that spec, IMO

      I am planning to buy a model with the specs: i7, 256 SSD, with an additional 500 SSD internally installed, and 16 gb DDR4 RAM. So my question is should I go for this one since my main usage is heavy editing and use of Adobe CC photoshop, illustrator and artrage editing softwares. Will it be able to handle the workload without crashes or lag if the specs are the ones I have mentioned?

    how did you turn on the backlit keyboard for the laptop

    • @Dovecomputers
      @Dovecomputers  7 лет назад +1

      Strangely some of these devices come without a backlit keyboard function.
      If you still have the manual for your device it should state which key will activate it - I believe it's normally f3 or f5 - if this does not work or you cannot find this information it may be that the device doesn't support it :(
      Hope this helps!
