eastwest — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 15:42:25 +0800

Hi all, my car hid has become too dim after 13 years of usage. Not just dim, the driver side light is starting flickering a bit.. that could be related to ballast problem. If I'm not mistaken, proton no longer produced sparepart for hid light.

1)Any possible suggestion for replacement?
2) is it possible to use led with original projector?
3) led with 6000k -6500k is too white? is it useless during raining, especially at night?

Thanks.

Laptop suggestion

eastwest — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 12:12:25 +0800

Hi all,
Can recommend a suitable laptop for a budget around RM3500? Will be used mostly for programming, running VM, watch movie, maybe gamming also.. But quad core is better since I will be running multiple IDE and VM at the same time..

I prefer a 14 inch laptop. But this also limit the intel cpu to those with U suffixes.. Any laptop in the market with i7 6700hq come in 14 inch screen?

Thanks.

Hi, I've an Asus S550C ultrabook (touchscreen) running Windows 8 Pro (upgraded from non pro version). May I know:
1) How to access the SSD part? or view that drive?
2) my ultrabook seems quite slow. For example, opening IE in desktop mode, it will hang for a few seconds, and then resume.... and it will occasionally hang for a few seconds (sometimes more than 10 seconds).

Thanks.
