Need to re-install Windows on a newish machine (one month old) with which I'm experiencing lots of issues. Also want to install Office 365 instead of Microsoft Office which comes with the machine. Have lots of important docs on this laptop and want to back up to an external SSD. My problem is...

As an update on this I'm looking at buying the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo which although not perfect seems like it will be well suited to my needs.

Thanks for all the information. Had a look at all the recommendations including the Alienware which is maybe overkill for my needs. The Asus second screen/track pad is a nice idea but doesn't seem to add much to the functionality of the laptop. In terms of my needs what do you guys think is...

Cheers, will take a look at that but its at my max as far as budget is concerned.

Just had a quick look now but not sure exactly what I should be looking for TBH. Which model would you recommend?

Hi Everyone Looking for a 13 inch laptop which I will use with Office but also for some music production. Will be using a DAW and XLR Mics and also Ableton software or equivalent. Possible video editing later. Also streaming online. I want something which is relatively portable and will be...

Thanks everyone, been reading the advice and suggestions with interest. Just about to look at an NUC and the Skyreach 4 Mini.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Wondering if I may have to re-think this one. Was going to build a small form factor PC to carry out video and photo editing whilst overseas. My rationale was it is much cheaper than the equivalent laptop and would have much better performance. At the end of...

Thanks for the replies everyone, some great advice there. On the subject of cooling, would it be possible to use a water cooler with such a build?

Exo Male, thanks for the recommendations. Was just going to post asking if it was possible to fit what I want in an ITX build. Would it be possible to upgrade what you've listed in the future? Or is the build limited by the form factor?

For a new build.

Decided to try and do it for a grand and have started another thread asking for spec recommendations. Thanks for your help Big Frank.

No, just as a hobby/for fun!

As above really. I've decided to build a small form factor pc which I can use for general productivity, streaming and crucially some photo and video editing at 4k. Also for listening to high res music. I want to keep this under £1000 if possible but its crucial that the end result is small and...

Cheers for the reply Big Frank, any idea how much I would have to spend for a capable machine?

Hi guys I need a computer to edit videos primarily in HD but maybe 4k in the future. I don't have a permanent base at the moment and will have to take the computer with me by plane when I move location. The obvious solution seems to be a laptop but these are so expensive and I already have a...

Fixed

Ah, that's good to know. Haven't used bitlocker much but would it be easy to encrypt a whole drive?

Seems like using bitlocker means that I can only use the external hard drive on one pc - no good for me then..

Hi Everyone I've just bought a 2TB Seagate Backup Slim Plus external hard drive. This will be for backing up data including some information I want to keep secure. I travel a lot and will be taking and using the drive in various public locations. I've just read that this drive does not have...
