Hi everyone, in this video is an older Dell laptop that was dropped badly, I mean after spilling some soda, purposely dropped. Fortunately, the fix was easy and I have done some small upgrades that will extend the life of this machine for a while.

Nice restoration, only things I'd have done differently is added a second 2.5in disk for data and replaced the damaged bezel with a new one. Btw... the second slot next to the Wi-Fi slot can take either mSATA SSD or WWAN (3G/4G card). Given that most WWAN cards are either 3G (obsolete) or basic 4G cards (single channel only), it is probably wiser to go with the mSATA SSD option. You can always use Wi-Fi Tethering if needed, anyways!

My old Dell laptop from 2013 had the same issue with the rubber. I searched online for a solution but never found one, so I just used a plastic knife and removed all the sticky rubber. The laptop feels much better now! Oh, and as a suggestion, you should start installing Linux on those old laptops you restore... I think the experience will be better! It's not difficult to use nowadays. Windows 10 uses too many resources of these old laptops and using a lightweight Linux distro will probably make the laptop faster and more reliable. Many games are also available and work just fine, thanks to Valve and the Steam Deck :) Cheers!

Funny that you talk about the things we had in 2012 : I actually still use to this day my Core i7 3770K on its Asus Maximus V Extreme and 32 BG of DDR3 1866 MHz 😁. I use it with an RTX 3060 12GB and I still get 75 fps on Cyberpunk 2077 @ 1080p nightmare settings + RTX ultra. This thing is a beast. I'm moving to another CPU next month (possibly a 7900X) but this CPU will forever stay close to me 🥰

@DrJohn123 6 месяцев назад

I'm impressed with the level of care you handle these old laptops! Be careful with static electricity: The felt mat, the vacuum cleaner brush and micro fibre cloths can easily charge up statically and destroy some chips on the motherboard (this once happened to my old laptop).

That's a nice resurrection! 2012 was a special year, in part because we got USB3. My main computer is a Z77 with a Xeon which is still a powerful beast to me because I'm not a gamer and for everything I do there has been no need to upgrade. It's been pretty good value as a result! 😉

@saladfox 6 месяцев назад

It's not a very fast CPU, but if it's what you've got to work with I see no reason why you couldn't play any games on it. Might even be able to do 1080p, just keep the graphics settings reasonable.

@wolfdz8163 6 месяцев назад

is it good theat cpu i play only in 768p which cpu can run all games x5660 3.2ghz oc or i5 4670k i now you well say peak the i5 but 4c 4t not enof cpu usag are 100@@saladfox

@saladfox 6 месяцев назад

I'd go for the 4670k just because the platform itself is newer if you're deciding between the two. If you already own the x5660 then just stick with that though. I can't give a direct answer on how well it'll run games, but I'd assume the overwhelming majority will be playable at that resolution.

@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew 6 месяцев назад

It's not bad bro, this is something like i7 3770. But if you wanna go with 1060 6gb then I will recommend something newer. Better option is i7 7700K, 7th gen CPU but still great. Or cheaper options like i7 4th gen but look for a K CPU or AMD Ryzen 2nd gen
