hey im getting a laptop for my 16th birthday and i really want a macinstead of a pc. My sister got a mac at my age, but my mom wants me to get a pc like a sony or dell. And she thinks i only want it because of the free ipod nano that comes with it but the special offer ends today. Do you guys have any thing for me that i can use to tell my mom like information of pc laptops against macs. I know i appreciate her getting me one and how fortunate i am, but i would prefer a mac. She says it is for school, and my sister uses hers for college. And do you guys know if theres gonna be anymore promotions from buying the macs????


please and thanks everyone

I'll be getting a laptop/notebook for my graduation, and my sister was just going to buy me one, but I want to pick it out. The thing is: I don't know for sure what kind I want.

I'm looking for a good computer for on the go. I'll be traveling the country and going to college over the next few years, and I need one that'll last.

I want one that's good for media and games. Gotta keep my sanity while in college, right?!

I want one with a lot of RAM and space (I pretty sure that's the right term) and that is also good for word processing.

Erm, yeah, so can anyone help me find a good computer that isn't WAY too expensive? I mean, we gotta budget and all. I'm just looking for some site that are easy to navigate and straight forward.

Thanks!

I recently purchased a gateway GT5464 and i bought a great lan and video card because I am an online gamer. The problem is that i still get severe cases of lag during the game and the fan in my CPU used to be silent before, and now its never silent. I want to know what will fix this problem, i've been suggested to get a bigger power supply and some more ram, but i want to know for sure before i purchase these if that will resolve my computer issues.

I have bought a new motherboard and case, seperated, I built everthing right, except the Graphics card which sits perfectly in the motherboard, but doesn't run. here are the things I've installed in the motherboard.
1GB RAM
Core 2 Duo and its fan
GeForce Graphics card
Power supply which have two sockets, one for itself's power and one for the monitor (Which I don't need) Monitor is already plugged into a socket.
there is power to the monitor, the PC starts, but the black background with the white writings on the monitor doesn't come up.
Hard Disk And DVD Drive haven't been installed yet, they're not important to start up the monitor.
Please tell me anything you know. Thanks

what would you say is the better processor a Pentium D single core w/ Hyper Threading @ 3.2Ghz or a Pentium D dual core @ 3.2 Ghz? And would a core 2 duo with less Ghz's still be better in terms of speed.

The paper loads incorrectly and jams every time I try to print. I've taken the printer apart and want to know what to look for to try to repair the printer on my own. Has anyone done this before or are technical enough to explain it to me? Thanks!

On my MacBook with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 1GB RAM, it is very hard to find any games that will run on Windows (using Parallels Desktop). This is because my computer doesn’t have a graphics card. It uses the processor for that, and that works fine in Mac OS X, but all PC’s have graphics cards.

BioShock won’t run, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars won’t run, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition won’t run. Mind you, I have only tried with demos downloaded from Steam (except BioShock Demo, that’s from a torrent). Half-Life 2 won’t run either.

I have a blog post with pictures here:
http://www.bojlen.org/?p=4
Because I can't upload pictures on Yahoo! Answers.

So, can anyone tell me if it is in any way possible for me to play games like these? Perhaps somehow tricking Windows into thinking that I have a graphics card?
