I have noticed that other LCD displays like those for laptops, PDAs, digital cameras, and touchscreen displays use a different kind of plastic covering than that of a desktop LCD display and they look better to. Why can't desktop LCD displays have the same coverings as others?

I am going up Mount Everest (hopefully all the way), this spring, and would like to take up a laptop. The major problem with laptops up there is *not* shock, but heat dissipation. The air is so thin that the laptops have a hard time dissipating heat from the chips and especially the hard drives. Does anyone know what laptops have survived the best up at base camp or higher? Thanks!!

I just purchased a Princeton 19" LCD monitor with a 6 ms response time. My question is, is this response time sufficient for most of todays latest generation 3rd person shooter pc games (i.e. FEAR, Half-Life 2, Quake 4, Doom 3, Far Cry, etc). Until now I've had a CRT so this wasn't an issue. But, lately I've been hearing about the importance of the LCD monitor to have a fast response time in order to play these latest games adequately. Thanks for any input.

Ok, I used my PC before I went to work today and it was 100% fine. I shut it down and left. When I got home, I tried turning the computer on and nothing happened. The power doesn't even go on. How could something like this happen while I'm at work, if it wasn't even on, and it perfectly ok before?!! I have an emachines T2885, running Windows XP home edition and it's only 2-3 years old. It shouldn't be dead already! I called Best Buy and they said it might be the motherboard, but they charge $80 to look at it and I don't have that to spare right now just for them to LOOK at it. So is there anything I can do myself, without having to bring it to them? Can the cause of this possibly be something other than my motherboard? How do i find out? And if it IS the motherboard, how much can I expect to pay? Best Buy said $200-300, but for that much I would just buy a new PC....Please help, I have a lot of important things on there that I need!!

i installed a slave drive like 2 weeks ago and i was able to use it and it showed
up in my computer but yesterday i had to do a clean install and wipe out both
partitions. for some reason i can only see my master and not my slave in my "computer" now.

i went into disk management and it shows both drives.

computers so can someone give me step by step help)--i dont know how to format either

I really need help pls...what is the best deal? the differences are MACBOOK 13" white with intel core 2 duo, 1GB RAM, only 1 year basic warranty for $1,199 while MACBOOK PRO 15" silver has intel core duo, 512MB RAM, 3yr apple care warranty for $1,299. Both have 80GB hard drive, 2.0GHz except one is core 2 duo, superdrive, both reads/writes CD/DVD. have i-sight camera, bluetooth,ethernet, etc... So basically will you go with the PRO but only have intel core duo and 512MB with 3yr warranty, or MACBOOK with intel core 2 duo and 1GB with 1yr basic warranty, smaller in size and price? Thank you very much!
