    Apples MacBook Neo krempelt die Mittelklasse um. Wo können sich Windows-Notebooks für 700 Euro noch absetzen, wo müssen sie sich hinten anstellen?

  3. Hey fedizens :FediverseSymbol:

    We had a bit of a mare yesterday, as wife's brand new laptop (an Acer Aspire A16-61M (NX.JP0EK.005)), which she got as a gift from family during recent sales, decided to suddenly crash in an awful manner after only a month of usage.

    The laptop crashed in Windows (Win 11 Home, 25H2 with all AI tools removed) with an error message of some kind, rebooted, and then reported "no bootable device".

    We spent a huge chunk of the day researching the issue, trying various supposed fixes, and failing miserably :Sighing_Face:

    Our failure led to us having a neurospicy meltdown in the evening 😔 As such, we're asking for your advice on attempting to fix it ASAP for wife :PleadingFace:

    Wife has raised a ticket with Acer in case they're able to help, but we're hoping folks here will suggest something other than wiping the drive and reinstalling an OS.

    Things we tried included:

    • Verifying that the SSD itself still showed in the UEFI/BIOS.
    • Resetting the UEFI to default.
      • We cannot change to the boot mode to Legacy then back to UEFI, as some generic-advice-giving folks have suggested in Acer forums and elsewhere.
    • Using Windows PE to access the command line tools, as well as variants based on it, like:
      • Aomei Partition Assistant's bootable media.
      • Hiren's BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.8).
    • Using Windows 11 installation media (from their latest media creation tool) to access the troubleshooting repair tools.

    The efforts thus far have only changed the error from not "no bootable device" to immediate blue screen messages showing a failure a load and presenting options (function key options like startup repair etc.) which all fail to work.

    The main C: partition appears to be borked, and shows as unallocated.

    We've tried to recover the partitions and the data, as well as clone the drive sector by sector, without success. As far as we know, Bitlocker hadn't been enabled, but one attempt to recover files under a tool within Hiren's BootCD PE asked for a pin when trying to recover files from the lost partition showing as unallocated space, so it may well be hindering any recovery efforts.

    Due to life struggles, neither wife nor us had had the time to set up any backup services yet, and whilst most things are cloud saved and can be recovered, some files and all the custom settings and tools would be lost if we cannot recover the drive fully 😔

    Apologies in advance if we advise we've tried something already, and please be kind and detailed with any comments or queries.

    For context, we've 20+ years of troubleshooting Windows and hardware issues, but we're neither a programmer nor IT specialist of any kind, and have never had an IT-type job.

    Any thoughtful ideas, suggestions, and recommendations will be most welcome 🩷

    Update: After further troubleshooting, the issue appears to be that some crash broke the drive's partition table, and software couldn't recover all the partitions because BitLocker was enabled by default 🤦‍♀️ Fortunately wife was using her Microsoft account and the recovery key auto-synced to her account. Now just trying to find a bit of software other than DiskGenius (which is bleeping expensive) which can accept the BitLocker recovery key and rebuild the drive without having to back it up and restore it.

    Further update: After a few days of working on this whenever we could around other things, and learning more about WindowsPE, WindowsRE, device encryption being enabled by default, bcdedit, manage-bcd, repair-bcd, bcdboot, various shite recovery tools that everybody claims are great but aren't at all, we finally ended up getting the device back into a semi-working state and told it to hold off on updates for the next 20 years. In the meantime, wife can use laptop again at least and we can fix the many other bugs again manually, via an in-place install, or properly backing up, nuking everything, and starting from scratch. On the plus side, we discovered that Rufus (the formatting tool) has options to download and customise Windows installations, including automatic disabling device encryption. Also had to play around a little with Linux Mint. We could get used to that, but we'd to find equivalents for WIndows mods and functions we're used to. Oh, and having to decrypt an encrypted unallocated (raw) partition, even where you have the recovery key, is one of the most cursed problems we've ever come across! Windows will allow you to assign a drive letter without formatting, but you can only decrypt it to elsewhere then: not in-place. Most recovery tools simply lack the simple ability to let you enter a recovery key or password and restore it in place.

  4. 13-year-old computer from 2013 running Windows 11.

    When the Dell Precision T3610 was sold, it would have originally included a copy of Windows 7 Professional.

    Microsoft has partnerships with Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Acer to help generate sales. Most of the time, your hardware is just fine, but being ‘just fine’ does not encourage you to buy a new computer.

    Yes, I can play Steam games and work on my 13-year-old PC just fine. 😉

  7. It's time for a vote! last year, I was lucky enough to findnot one, but two Acer Aspire One D270s. The first was sold as an extra, but worked well. The second was still sealed in the box! I never thought I would have the pleasure of opening a brand new netbook again. But to this day, I still haven't done so. Now, I have two choices, though I guess three, if I send both off.

    1. Have the keyboard replaced, and the drive and Windows upgraded to 7 Professional on my open one.
    2. Open the new one and have the drive, Windows, and ram upgraded.
    3. Send both machines in and have the above work done.
    Technically, on both machines, the drives are fine. They are 320gb models, so they have more than enough space for my needs. But they're 5400 rpm drives, and I want either a 7200 rpm replacement or a solid state one. My open machine has 2gb of ram, which is all the D270 can officially take. I have heard of some people installing 4gb and Windows seeing something like 2.9gb (I forget the exact number, but it wasn't the full 4), but I have also read that it's not always stable and there could be some problems with booting. Can anyone confirm this? If I keep it at 2gb, I am guessing it would make sense to use a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and not a 64-bit one. All of my programs except Reddit for Blind, Accessible Youtube Downloader, and TweeseCake are 32-bit, but only Reddit for Blind works on 7. I am still trying to get the others to work, but that may be an issue with this particular virtual machine.

    So, which should I do? Open the new machine, or just send in the old one?

  8. i portatili con win10 non sono dotati di disco di installazione perché in caso di necessità c'è un'immagine del sistema da cui reinstallare

    ho già provato a fare il ripristino da menù impostazioni ma non funziona (è incasinato forte)

  10. Acer n311 — мой сегодняшний квест [Министатья]

    Сегодня ночь выдалась очень интересной, благо я выполнял квест под названием "реставрация крутейшего КПК с видеочипом Nvidia 20-летней давности"! Недавно мой подписчик подогнал мне Acer n311, у которого не работал тачскрин, который намертво зависал и порой вообще переставал включаться и на что либо реагировать. Но мы ж с вами тоже не лыком шитые и хотим дать новую жизнь старенькому, уставшему, но такому классному КПК!

  13. Acer Swift 16 AI has a haptic touchpad so big you can use a stylus to draw on it

    The Acer Swift 16 AI (SF16-71T) is a laptop with up to a 2880 x 1800 pixel OLED, 120 Hz touchscreen display and support for up to an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H Panther Lake processor with Intel Arc B390 12-core graphics.

    But what really makes this laptop unusual is the touchpad. Acer says the new Swift 16 AI has the largest haptic touchpad of any laptop. In fact, it’s so big that the company […]
