Computers & Internet - 14 August 2006

I'm a student, and have been planning to purchase a new lap top. And that's where the problem pops-up:)

I've never bought a lap top before, and have no idea which brand should I take. As for the OS, it's probably going to be Windows, though I've never worked on Mac, or Linux.

I don't care much if the brand is well known or not, but I have a couple of conditions, such as:

1. speed of processor(not less then 1.6 GHz), and as for processors themselves, I'm not that familiar with that which one is better, so you might help me here too.

2. Pretty good graphics;

3. HDD(not less then 60GB), Ram(>512MB),

4. This would be pretty important, and that's the internet (speed)

Mostly, I would be using it for working on and storing a looot of my photos, videos, a lot of music, and games.At least 3 usb ports, and since I'm a student, should use it for some school tasks too.
Bigger speed of burning CD-s and DVD-s...

Thanks for any suggestions:))))

I've heard the same terms used in the same sentence! We're talking about the same type of computer, right? Even Yahoo! Answers has "laptops & notebooks" in the subcatagories. I've always thought they were the same.

Someone recently contacted me on my unlisted cell phone number. She said it was on the internet as well as other stuff about me--including a comment I posted about cars. How did she do that without accessing databases that cost money to use?

Have verizon dsl, When first connected everything was fine. After about 2 hrs. it stopped working. I called tech. he said to change to usb cable. When I did I everything worked. He told me I would have to have new drivers installed? I dont know what he is talking about. Before I take it to a shop I want to know if I can do it myself.

Please help me.
I am using a Labtec v6.0 Webcam which specifies that it is compatible with both MSN and Yahoo! messenger. Our computer is a Microsoft XP desktop. The webcam works perfectly well with MSN messenger. When we start the webcam on Yahoo! it tries to connect, but it says that it's waiting to reconnect, then retries to connect, and repeats over and over. When I try to view other people's webcams it says it had a problem connecting to the server. Thanks for consideration and help! I would like to see my family half way around the world!
