Walkie talkies are illegal unless you have a licence. Licence free walkie talkies have rules such as only a specific frequency should be used (PMR 446) and should not have detachable antennas. Whether these are enforced is a different question, but I would suggest a lot of research before...

OP, like everything else in life, this is the harsh truth. Choose 2 of 3 - Cheap, Future proof, High Performance machine. A cheap and future proof build would be one where you get the latest/one behind generation of CPUs and pair it to a motherboard and a good PSU. You then wait and save up...

Usually D-Link is costlier compared to TP - Link. 6 months ago, 16 port unmanaged TP-Link was selling at 3.5-3.7K and D-Link at 6K. In my opinion, this is a good deal, although I believe they will be old stocks, since this model was hard to find in the local market, most stating no more supply.

Thank you @vivek.krishnan . Are you getting both or is one available? I believe OP had posted 2 laptops for sale.

Seller posts an Ad, then bumps the ad. A potential buyer DMs the seller for details. The seller ghosts the potential buyer. What's the point of putting up a sale thread and bumping it if you don't reply to DMs? Especially when you're active on the forum? If you've sold it or made a deal...

The 8 GB RAM you have is more than enough for the use case described. Your laptop motherboard has an M.2 SSD slot. You can see it marked as SSD on the Motherboard picture you have provided. You now have 3 options. 1. Buy a 256GB M.2 SSD and use it as the boot drive while the HDD remains for...

OT, but what exactly is this light useful for? Like does it help with mood lighting or something? Can someone post pics of their rooms with this light or whatever they are using this for? I have honestly felt this to be a gimmick, but if so many people are buying there must be something here.

Can SMART and TBW of the drive also be posted? Would be helpful in making a decision. Good luck with the sale.

For anyone stumbling upon this at a later date, and is a linux noob like me: If on linux, check if lspci or lsusb show the device, atleast as an unknown device. Or even better, take an ubuntu/debian live install and check if it shows up under network devices. Linux does need drivers, its just...

That is an A+E key. Not M.2. Check on a Non HP laptop/motherboard if it works. If yes, then it's HP's BIOS that is the problem. If this is the case, nothing can be done. Have you tried loading the drivers manually? Does it show up in device manager? if it shows up in device manager, you need...

Post a picture of your existing wlan card and the slot. From that we can see if it's A/E or A+E. M.2 is a version of PCie, the notches are at different positions (and therefore the connectors), that is all is the difference. Also please note, HP is notorious for approving only certain WLAN...

Product received and opened. Was packed beautifully. Everything was as described. @snake eyes Was extremely patient and helpful. Edit - Feedback left.

OT but wanted to leave this here, Remember kids, Molex to SATA, lose your data.

Is this still available?

Didn't want to wait another 2-3 months and then get rejected because of something else. Hence if there is something else, I'd like to use this time to make good of it.
