Hi anons, a local business is selling refurbished laptops which have always been used on a workstation connected to a keyboard and monitor, and I can get the i3 version of the E6330 for a very low price (around 100 $). Do you think it's a good laptop for university? I'm a CS student and won't do power-requiring stuff for now, just need a decently performing laptop with a good build construction. You guys generally reccommend business laptops for this, but I'd like to have a more in-depth feedback about this specific model.

/pcbg/: Kaby i5 Suicide Edition.
Post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.

State the PURPOSE of your PC, BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List which GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify if goal is to lower price or improve specs.
Put effort into your queries to make yourself easy to help.

>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons & compatibility filter.

>Information on how to assemble a PC, select components & more. (somewhat outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Build_a_PC

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3 is discounted over 25%
>i3 aren't worthwhile, unless for highly single threaded tasks. e.g. dwarf fortress & emulators
>i5 aren't worthwhile. No exceptions. Drop down to G4560 or up to i7
>i7-7700k is good but pricey. If over budget, consider 6700k and/or a locked motherboard + cheaper cooler; not chasing 4.8Ghz capable when you weren't gonna overclock - or get Ryzen 7.
>R7 or Xeon for compute & multitask workstations

Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>1060GB, 1070, 1080, 1080TI
>1060 is worth considering over a 480 if same/cheaper in your country, or you just play games it's better on for the price. 1050Ti is for mITX builds
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over any card weaker than an 1060 3GB, unless another's price/performance is better (ie discounted/used)

General:
>Don't feel bound to a specific brand/model. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help here
>Consider SSD only for what you budgeted on SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't worth it just for faster OS boot. They're primarily for quicker loading/saving of files for productivity

>Ryzen 7 is the only good part of Ryzen. Anything is a horrible attempt to compete with Pentium/i3/i5.

Hey, /g/, I have a quick question.

Does anyone know how to look through really old iMessages without just scrolling? I need to go a few months back.

If anyone cares to know, it's because I believe my best friend's girlfriend might have cheated on him a few months ago, and he wont believe me when I try to tell him, and I'm pretty sure I can find evidence in my convo with her from October, so I need to go back so I can snap this cuck out of it.

P.S - I dont know if this works, because it's technically not tech support and has nothing to do with computers.

God bless whoever can help me. Thank you in advance
