I have a lenovo ideapad and I want to take out the CD drive and replace it with USB ports because the laptop only has 2 ports. The CD drive is connected to the motherboard via slimline sata.
Is there a way to use the slimline sata to drive usb ports?
Could I use a regular USB-slimSata adapter in conjunction with a USB hub to multiply the ports?
I set a new windows 7 to my laptop lenovo and the wireless is not working. I can't see any networks >> what should I do? Does anyone has wireless configuration to Lenovo lap?
Alright, well I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 910 & was wondering if Fallout 4 can be played on it. I know ultrabooks are really not gaming laptops, but the specs on it seem like it will be able to handle it. I would buy an Xbox one but not anytime soon.
The specs on the Yoga 910 are as follows:
- Intel Core i7-7500u
- 8gb Ram
- Integrated Intel HD 620 Graphics
- 14" FHD (1080p) screen
- 256Gb SSD
I currently own a Lenovo Y50-70 Gaming laptop.
The processor that it has is (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz) .
I'm currently thinking about upgrading to a Dell Inspiron 5755
The processor that it has is (2.0 GHz AMD A6-7310 quad-core accelerated processor with 2MB L2 cache, up to 2.4 GHZ}
My question is can you tell me if the processor in the dell is better or equal or less speed than the processor in the lenovo laptop?
Ill be doing gaming, and mostly internet usuage, But i want to upgrade to the dell because it has more memory and a bigger hard drive,
But i want to make sure that i'm not getting a slower processor than what i have since i'm not familiar with AMD processors.

Both seem like the best options for a gaming laptop below 1200 dollars. Been saving up for a few months. Which laptop do you think is better?
Laptop Laggsss alot. Lenovo Ideapad 305?
Added (1). My Laptop Was fine when i was on windows 8 it started to lag when i upgraded to windows 10. The Disk usage is 100-90 at startup and when opening programs etc. It takes about 10 mins on startup to get stable. Also my laptop specs are:
Lenovo Ideapad 305
Core i5-5200U (2.20ghz 2.20ghz)
4Gb of Ram
1Tb harddrive hhd 5400rpm
64bit operating system.

I purchased a new lenovo Legion y720 laptop with gtx1060 6gb. After somedays of use, i noticed heavy fps drops (10-20 fps from 60) in all games. I checked dxdiag and found that it could not identify my GPU memory, it showed N/a. So i reinstalled all nvidia stuff, then games started working fine. Now for every 2 or 3 days same thing happens and i have to reinstall all the stuff again and again. See the screenshot uploaded to see what i'm trying to say. 
I'm planning on buying a laptop with a tocuscreen display and it doesn't come with a stylus so I'm wondering if I buy an active stylus that it will work for the laptop and maybe my other devices. Also the laptop I plan to buy is the Lenovo Yoga 910 Premium.
