Laptops & Notebooks - July 2006

I am looking for a new laptop for portability. I want something lightweight and durable that will last me many years. It also has to be of the size that I could take it to class and take notes but not so small that it is going to ruin my eyesight. I am comfortable using any OS and am open to any manufacturer.

I ask because I bought a laptop just under a year ago. It had to be returned 5 times to them before it was fixed (and the problem was the same one throughout). And I found their customer service and repair far from customer friendly. I'd be interested in knowing what others think of MESH.

Hi,

I have a problem with an Acer 1620 (laptop). It is getting very hot. The fan makes a lot of noise simply by turning on the laptop. The last days the computer turns off automatically. Should I clean the fan? if yes, how? if not, what can I do?

Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes

I got this used laptop with 2 partitions; one of them 1.99 gigs, one of them 35 gigs. XP is installed on the smaller partition leaving almost NO space. I installed a bunch of updates which basically screwed me because they took up the remaining space on the partition. I do not have the XP CD anymore, sad, i know! I don't know what else to do!!!

I have a Toshiba Satellite P35-S6292. Today a white strip appeared on my screen and wont go away. It's about 1.5 inches thick and runs from the top of my screen, down to the bottom. All I could think to do is update the display driver. But that didnt work.

Any ideas?

When I'm at home I hook my laptop up to an external monitor. The problem is that when I close the laptop lid the laptop goes into "sleep mode". How do I stop this from happening?

I have a Dell Latitude D610 and I'm running XP

I am ready (financially) to buy a new notebook. I use my current one for work and school and carry it around with me lot. It is slowing down a lot because I run Adobe and Macromedia software at the same time. Now a new notebook that had a dual core processor would be of benefit, and those are out allready. My question is should I wait for the release of Windows Vista. A notebook that will come out with Windows Vista preinstalled. Would Vista help the system run better?

Below is a link to circuit city's website. Is this a good deal, $549.99 for this laptop with no mail-in rebates? The only thng I am concerned about is that the processor only has 512k of L2 cache.

Here is the link

How can I deal with that - I'mjust a beginner and my knowledge is limited in this area. I run the diagnostic as advised by Spyke because my screen shows three thin vertical lines.

After a year of every day use my laptop developed three vertical lines on its screen. They appear right after booting up the machine and stay on all the time. The lines started to appear gradually: first the red one in the middle, then the purple one in the middle left, and just recently the grre one on the left. There seem to be no particular pattern as to the distance in between the lines. Is there a way to correct the problem rather than sending the machine back for repairs?

Our family isint very rich but we get by. Now i have 2 siblings and have only 1 P.C. at our home. I was considering buying either a P.C. or a laptop because 1 p.c. isint simply enough for the 3 us. My question is should we get a new P.C. or a laptop or not? (Also the current computer we have is pretty slow) Please recommend if anything comes to mind
