My laptop was stolen last month but police caught the theif and I got the laptop last week back , but he used it and also logged in . Now I reset the laptop , I wanted to ask is that is it possible that he can track my laptop again ? Or is reset enough for safety ? And does that also deletes the viruses if any ?

Please help me and in india

No refurbs or used.

13/14/15 inch screen

No weight limit

Purpose -

moderate gaming, maybe GTA V (I have no idea about the requirements). (GTA V is just a benchmark, if it doesn't come under the budget, it is sacrificial. As long as I get to play other light open world games)

Also needed for editing and watching stuff online and surfing the internet.

Regular Laptop.

Performance wise like I said open world games. Basically max settings under 55K budget.

Battery life - moderate (no idea).

I was considering Lenovo but I have no idea in this field.

Anyways would really like suggestions and such. Open to discussions!!

My dad gets annoyed whenever devices constantly update or change layouts, so I’m trying to find him something straightforward that won’t need a ton of troubleshooting. Mostly web browsing, banking, and watching sports streams.

I’ve searched around for the best laptop for seniors but a lot of recommendations seem geared toward students or office work instead. Is there a model or operating system that tends to be easier for older people to adjust to? appreciate any advice

Is this a good laptop as my main use is office work or study. 50k in INDIAN RUPEES

HP Intel Core i5 12th Gen 1235U (16GB/512 GB SSD/Windows 11 Home) 15s-fq5330TU 15-fd0111TU Thin and Light Laptop (15.6 Inch, Silver, 1.69 Kg, With MS Office)

With the education discount, I got the Neo for Php39,990($649.28). The problem is it won’t be available for pickup until June 4–15, and the wait is slowly driving me insane.

I also found more MacBooks within my price range (and please don’t judge me for choosing a Mac — I already have a 16GB Windows laptop and I study IT. I want to broaden my experience with different operating systems).

Air M2 – newer chip, so it might get longer support.
Neo 256GB – I just can’t give up on the Neo; I really love the color.
M1 Pro – better specs overall, especially with fans. But it might stop getting updates sooner (though honestly, I can still use it even then; OS updates are just a garnish anyway).

Might be a necessary information: I code. Right now I mostly use XAMPP, VS Code, PHP, and Composer, plus VMware for a subject I’m taking.

Another: I can still cancel my order

I’ve been using my old laptop for years now and it’s finally starting to slow down a lot, especially when I’ve got multiple tabs open, streaming, and doing basic work stuff at the same time. I also realized I kind of like the idea of a touchscreen for quick navigation and note stuff, but I don’t know if it’s actually worth prioritizing.

I’ve been looking around for the best touch screen laptop but there are so many options that all seem similar on paper. For everyday use like browsing, work docs, and light multitasking, does touchscreen actually make a noticeable difference or is it something people stop using after a while? Thanks
