I'm really interested in how the new Ryzen Vega CPUs will do with emulation. I've dreamed of building a mini-PC all-in-one emulator that can do everything up to PS3 and Switch, which have traditionally required a dedicated GPU

The new AMD APUs will have RDNA2 iGPUs, not Vega, which is supposed to have a 120% performance advantage over the 11th Gen Intel iGPUs in Vulkan. That'll be great for RPCS3 performance but those won't come out till next year probably, if ever. Not sure a 6000g series will come out on AM4.
Yuzu already performed fine on the existing 3000g/5000g series APUs and should be fine emulating both. Here's a benchmark video with a 5600G running RPCS3 and Yuzu. Performance looks decent.

Ya I know current Ryzen can get pretty decent results, but if I'm putting down that much money on an emulating rig I want a little more than decent. I'm fine with waiting a bit longer
In our ongoing investigation, we have preliminarily identified a potential reversed memory capacitor issue in the production process from one of the production lines that may cause debug error code 53, no post, or motherboard components damage. The issue potentially affects units manufactured in 2021 with the part number 90MB18E0-MVAAY0 and serial number starting with MA, MB, or MC.
If you have the motherboard, there may be an issue with a capacitor potentially causing a small explosion and maybe fire. Because that's what happens when capacitors get installed backwards.
This is a cool (ha!) idea, but if you're going to have an external unit, you might as well be using an eGPU, because those things stay much cooler and since the GPU isn't heating up your laptop internals the CPU temps are also easier to manage. This also allows you to use a much smaller / lighter laptop while achieving basically the same performance, provided that the non-gpu specs are similar (i.e. you're not CPU throttling yourself). The bottleneck is bandwidth due to thunderbolt connection being slower than a direct mobo connection, but I would suggest that that's going to be overcome by the time water cooling in laptops could realistically become a widely adopted feature.

I hope you don't mind the newbie question, but I am having an issue with my older laptop and I am trying to figure it out.
I don't appear to be getting any sound at all from the speaker or headphone jack. It was working recently and all of a sudden it stopped.
I am hoping its not a sound card and just an easy fix. It's a 2010 or 2012? HP Probook 6550b. It run's great, in great shape and my use for this is limited. Just web surfing and email. I just installed a new hard drive as well! Run's great.
Running Windows 10 I believe. It may be a sound driver but I have no idea how to install or what to look for.
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance

It’s probably the audio driver. I would assume that something went wrong after windows update. If you need more detailed help you can always pm me. I would start by checking you have the latest drivers using driver booster(it’s free). https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php
Another solution that works is deleting the drivers from your device manager and restarting your pc.
Not really a hardware question, but figure this might be the best spot due to the people who frequent this thread:
Anyone have a recommendation where in Calgary I could take some business laptops to have matte style screen protection applied? I don't want to do it myself and would like to pay someone to do it well.
