So uh my acer broke, lost all my 3d modeling, artwork, designing, and files of over 5 years on it..
Any recommendations for a new laptop for designing, and possibly capable of medium graphics for gaming?

Just make a low end desktop tower with a 760ti, if anything fries you don't have to throw everything away like with the laptop.

What does that mean? If your hdd is fine, your data is fine.
Austin Jackson
Make backups next time, idiot.
Justin Gray
>no backups/duplicates
nothing on other computers, cloud services, anything? Nothing on some other disks and flash drives you've had?
If the disk still works, but the machine doesn't boot, pop it into a USB enclosure and copy the shit off to your new machine.

>buying acer
I made that mistake too. Never again. They're cheap given the hardware you get, but they're also built like absolute shit.

So basically my renders take days to finish, and one day it crashed on me 6 times. Wasn't having the best day, so I got mad and punched the thing so goddamn hard, the screen read "bios error" and I think I dented the hardrive a little. Not a hardware savvy guy either so idk how the hell to recover any of it on my own, nor do I have time to get it fixed/recovered at the shop anytime soon.
I just need a replacement. If I can recover anything, I'll transfer it later.
I have a few things, but nothing too big. No cloud services, I never trusted them.
Also, yea. I learned my lesson that Acer is shit lol

Can confirm. My two laptops are Acer and they have pretty bad overheating porblems. So bad in fact that the CPU on the last one burnt out and I had to send it back to the company for repairs.

>punched my laptop
>hdd is dented
Unless you have extraordinary superhuman strength, punching your laptop won't dent your hdd. The impact could have damaged the moving parts if you're unlucky, but it's most likely fine. There are literally plug & play USB interfaces for internal discs that allow you to treat it like a simple flash drive. Just plug in and copy files.

Exactly what happened to my old one, and my now broken one. Both had terrible heating problems
Jeremiah Gray
Both run hot. On this laptop I'm using it used to just shut off due to overheating even on low graphics games like GTA: SA. It's stopped now for some reason.
Daniel Young
Ok will pick one up later this week and try. Thanks

Couldn't even run minecraft.. It's a joke

I have noticed preformence problems with games when there shouldn't be on both laptops.

I saw a guy at uni who was raging while playing Fallout or something smash his hands onto his laptop. Machine froze, I heard something that sounded suspiciously like the heads crashing on the thing, and it wouldn't find the OS.
Guy comes back in two days later, turns out the disk was located under the palm area. There's plenty reason punching a laptop would damage a sensitive bundle of moving parts like a hard drive, especially since there's fairly little between the disk and any incoming impact.
If the heads are parked, there's probably no issue, but if the disk is running, shit's gonna just get fucked.

Use a old PC/Laptop or SBC and setup Proxmox, zfs in mirror'd mode.
Two drives (or more) for the zpool and 1 drive for the /root (you can also setup this as a mirror if you want a hassle free recovery)
Setup snapshots for the most important files and have a duplicate rsync to a flashdrive/external drive every week.
Super cheap and just works.
Use normal laptop/desktop as a client machine and store it all to your NAS/Archive.
I use ssh in console or sshd with a file manager on Linux.
For windows I use filezilla(SFTP mode not FTPS/FTP which is insecure) on windows.
