Computers & Internet - 3 September 2007

I don't really know that much about computers but I'm buying a new laptop and the one I want has a 1.5GHz Core2Duo processor. It has enough RAM (2GB) and video memory(256MB) to run the games I want to play but will the processor be able to handle a game like Battlefield 2(requires 1.7 GHz) and run it smoothly?

I have a friend who leaves his Laserjet print on all night in his home office, primarily because he believes that turning on and off the printer causes wear and tear on the printer's electronic parts. I have to hand it to him -- the thing is ancient (10+ years) and it runs like a charm, but even on standby mode, the printer is using up a lot of energy.

I'm looking for hard facts that support either his point (he's an engineer) or mine that today's modern electronics are designed to be turned on/off regularly. I've done a pretty thorough search on why PC's should/shouldn't be turned on/off but have come across little on printers.

(BTW, there's also little *research* done on the actual impact of turning on and off PCs).
