I will soon be in a job where I commute half the week home half the week, and want to buy a powerful but affordable portable computer. I don't even know the diff between a laptop and a notebook. Whichever is most portable with an adult sized keyboard and a nice screen. Any suggestions? This is for leisure use. I would like to use it for DVD, mp3, and small games (less than 100MB programs stored in the hard drive running out of RealArcade, etc). Hoping to spend less than 1000 USD.

Related is an internet question. I would like access from the new computer whether I'm home or away. I know a little about wi-fi but I think this depends on nearby signal. Since my job and home are 70 miles apart, and the job is in a rural area, wi-fi is unlikely. So can you get internet piped into a portable computer in an out of the way location? How much does this service cost, and who provides such a service? I guess it would be comparable to "roaming" on a cell phone.

Thanks for any help!

Hi. anybody who is familiar with the industry of the hardware and particularly IBM. i checked the website, but couldn't find answer to my question: what do you think would be the IBM's mission statement. e.g. like "connecting people" for NOKIA.

thnx

I do alot of video editing as in BOOTLEGGING rented dvds with dvd shrink & dvd decrypter. I get a transfer rate of about 26 MB/ Sec hard drive to hard drive & up to a 16X transfer from the dvd. How much would my disk to disk transfer increase with a SATA drive. I dont expect the hard disk to perform at the maxium possible speed of 3 GB/Sec. But what are some of the real-world disk speeds with these newer drives?

I have a case that is a little weird. Instead of having a solid piece of plastic where the cd comes out of (and where you push the button to open the drive) on the outside of the case, it has a button of its own. Without removing this, it is difficult to insert the DVD-R drive. I have thought about just popping the piece of plastic off of the front of the case, but then it wouldn't really match the other CD-RW/DVD drive. Is there a better way to go about doing this?

I'm looking to get a new Dell laptop computer. I have right now a Dell desktop and I love it but I need a laptop. I mostly want it to download music, copy music and watch movies, browse the internet anywhere, take it with me on vacations, pretty much for entertainment. I was looking at the website and I'm thinking maybe the Inspiron E1500. Also, what is the standard size for a screen? I think it would be the 15" or the 14". Please any suggestions would help.

OS = Windows XP SP1. Soundcard works fine (installed drivers) but the external drive doesn't seem to work. I previously had the card setup on another machine with no problems.

It doesn't seem to be detected and nothing I plug into it seems to work.
