I got you, many thanks. I just researched Thunderbolt, I understand a bit better. The feedback above from the vendor of the Dell docking station implies that it only works with Dell hardware. I see on Amazon Belgium a Thunderbolt docking station from Belkin which seems more likely to work...

The PC Specialist technician told me that he personally uses this docking station: https://www.amazon.fr/Stations-Displayport-Quadruple-Affichage-Microsoft/dp/B0BTP537S8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=station+d%27accueil He says: "It's not guaranteed to work if you want to extend the display because...

This is what the seller of the docking station came back with: So I cancelled that. I will poke around for something else. No stress, just thought you might find that interesting given our discussion!

The monitor and docking station that you recommended, I found them on Amazon Belgium and went ahead and ordered them. Many thanks again!

Shortly after Brexit I ordered on Amazon a pair of running shoes from Italy for delivery to England and got hit with a huge payment, there was no advance warning. Since then I haven't ordered anything from UK to EU or vice versa. That was a long time ago though, maybe they give you advance...

I went ahead and ordered the laptop with all of the changes that you recommended. Below is the revised spec. Regarding peripherals, this is for delivery in Belgium, so I can't order from the UK because we get hit with a big customs fee for anything outside the EU. The order form included the...

I need to order a laptop for my daughter for university. Here are the guidelines that we were given: - Processor: intel i5 or i7 - RAM: 16GB - hard drive: 500MB - o/s: Windows or Linux She will be studying computer science, she will not be using the machine for gaming, so the graphics card is...

😆 Many thanks, I will check that out!

Welp, I went ahead and placed the order. I wish I could also order you a glass of your favorite beverage, I can't thank you enough for your help!

I would be interested to hear what you recommend for a monitor. Her current setup is a work laptop and monitor connected to a docking station - no PC. So potentially we could put the work monitor aside and use only the new gaming monitor. When working she would connect the work laptop to the...

Many thanks for getting back to me. The monitor is the iiyama GB2730QSU and my budget is £2,000, I added that to my OP.

I would like to purchase a gaming PC as a gift for my girlfriend. I know nothing about Windows or gaming and would be grateful for a recommendation. Here are the criteria: - She would like to use Steam, and to play Baldur's Gate 3. - She would like pink LEDs. - She already has a work monitor...

It's working now. Many thanks! The HDMI port on the motherboard was blocked. The one on the graphics card is working.

Many thanks for the responses, we will try again in the morning and report back!

So the machine arrived. The HDMI socket has a plastic plug in it - is this to protect the socket, or is it telling me that HDMI is not supported? There is another socket which, if my research is correct, is DisplayPort? Our monitor is HDMI, can I simply purchase a converter which will allow...
