Q: QuestionIs it safe to play games directly (plug in)with out the battery ?

Asked 2 years ago by The.

• A:Answer It's safe, technically, but the battery drains fast. This is to be expected from any gaming laptop. Keep it plugged in while gaming or working to prevent lost save data always with any machine.

Q: QuestionIs it safe to play games directly (plug in)with out the battery

Asked 2 years ago by The.

• A:Answer Safe? Not if the laptop in unplugged randomly. Or a surge. I would advise against it. You could short something with the sudden loss of power. Especially if it happens over and over.

Q: Questionhi man i just bought this laptop and want to ad this ( PNY - Performance 8GB DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz CL22 SODIMM Notebook/Laptop Memory - Black ) is it ok if it's diff brand ram? or i should buy exact same one in the laptop?

Asked 2 years ago by Mehmet.

• A:Answer The short answer is "Yes" as your PNY runs at the same speed (3200MHz) as the one installed by factory, however you should note that this it is typically considered best to install two RAM sticks of the same model/brand in order to maximize their performance. In the end, however, installing a separate DDR4 of differing brand will not essentially harm your computer, but you may have a better experience if you install two PNY's as opposed to only one. Hope this helps! - HWK

Q: QuestionIs there a recommended external CRRomDVD player for this so that printer discs can be used to insert printer software into the laptop? If so, what is recommended and where does one find that? Also, what ports are suitable for external players like that?

Asked 2 years ago by Giger.

• A:Answer Any should work fine, and most external dvd drivers are only usb 2.0. So, it doesn't really matter which port you use. But you should be able to go to the manufacturer of your printer and just download the software for your model printer directly from them. They even have legacy software in most case.

Q: QuestionDoes the performance drastically drop while gaming on battery?

Asked 2 years ago by Jay.

• A:Answer That depends on your battery profile. Personally, I do not play games while using battery because it is either I run out of battery quickly in exchange for performance or the laptop will be a little sluggish but the battery could last longer than 2 hours. You could remove the battery and plug the adapter to the wall though, so your battery's lifespan will be prolonged, and at the same time, the performance is still there.

Q: QuestionWhen I upgrade the ram do I need to get the same brand or only ddr4 3200mhz?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Any brand that's compatible will do make sure it's for a laptop and not a desktop and I highly recommend going to Crucial brand website and use their lookup tool for the exact match you need for the brand machine you own. I would also presume Best Buy has ram right in their store you can buy.
