I bought my current laptop 2 years ago, Acer with Centrino Technology (not the current Duo one). It is supposed to last 7 hours fully charged, but now it only last about 3 - 4 hours.

What should I do? I still need the laptop, therefore am not selling or buying any new ones.

You see I was trying to split it into 2 partitions, one for the OS and the other for the crap that I wanted but as I tried to do so with Partition Magic 8 the option of split partition was unavailable.

I have an iBook G4 that I bought last year. The new Macbook sounds real good, is it worth buying the newer model? I do use my laptop everyday.

I have been looking on ebay for about 3 weeks now on prices for gaming cases for a computer. I have a computer I am currently using but the outer shell needs updated if you get what im saying.. I only want to spend a max of $30 but all the $20.00 cases are either crappy or the shipping is what kills me. Anyone know a website that I can get a nice gaming computer shell for a good price that is a trusted company?

My cd rom suddenly stopped working while burning a disc. Troubleshooting got me no where and I was wondering if there is a way to tell if it is really my cd rom or if it is something with the computer itself. I am running windows xp home ed. on a PC.

I've never done this before. I'm using a Westell model 6100 that came with my Verizon DSL package and a Netgear wireless router. I'm trying to get my connection running to my laptop.

I had everything connected, all the lights that need to be on are, but I cannot get the internet through the router. When I plug everything in as normal, I get internet.

Here's what I do, like it says on the CD. I unplugged the ethernet cable that ran from the modem to the computer and plugged it into the internet port of the router. I then used the cable that was included with my router to run an ethernet cord from one of the router's LAN ports over to my desktop.When I run the internet through the router, however, I get no internet on my Laptop OR desktop.

I even went to the 192.168.1.1 site to connect to the router and finished all the steps. It said that I succesfully completed setup, and that I should have internet access but I did not. Help me, PLEASE!!

I need to justify a purchase. We are inclined to choosing 3940 but cannot make a quantitative comparison. Need the printer for an office of around 5. Need fast, good quality prints for office documents. Color prints not very frequent. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! =)

The paint on my 'k' key is worn out. Not that I use that key more, just that my finger rests on it more than any other. Is that weird or what?
