I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 that I got a year ago as a replacement for a Inspiron 5100 that was damaged by my sibling and recently tried to instal XP Media Center on it and erased my recovery disk. Come to find out the Media Center disk I made a copy of from my friend was missing files and/or currupt. How can I get another Systematic Recovery Disk?

After 2 months of getting my HP Pavilion laptop computer, the letters on the keys began to rub off. I contacted HP and was told that wasn't covered and to buy new letters from World Language Resources. The letters were purchased, but didn't match my keypad letters at all. I waited longer, until a month before my expiration date and contacted them again. This time, they had me send it to them. After 8 business days, I hadn't heard from them and I called. They hadn't told me they wanted to now charge me $318 for repair. In the 25 years I've been using computers, I've never had letters come off the keys, nor the keypads become smooth and ridged. I do not have long fingernails, so this has to be a problem with the keypads themselves, a flaw on their side, not mine. No repair was made, since I refused to pay that exhorbitant amount. I'm extremely disappointed in their warranty and service!

I recently bought a new laptop and want to transfer all my music files to it from my old laptop. What is the fastest way to transfer approx 8GB of music...efficiently?

I have a firewire cable but I'm not sure if it can be used for transfer.
I'm also having trouble networking the 2 PCs together so unless I can figure that out, transfer through network is out.

The image on my Lenovo Laptop 3000 N100 series is very bad. It is grainy and dark. Is there any way that I can improve it ? I found that my friend's Intex external web cam (probably of the same resolution - 300 K ) is far better than the one on my Laptop.

Here is what I want:

Price: THE CHEAPEST U CAN FIND
CPU: >1.5 GHz
RAM: 512 MB - 1 GB
Screen: dont care about size
Hard Drive: atleast 40 GB
Optical Drive: CD-RW
Internet: dont need (i have a usb wireless card that i will be using)
Weight: reasonable - i will be carrying this around a bit but dont care about the weight very much

I will be using this as a laptop that i can bring on vacation every once in a while. I would like to be able to do music editing with this (i use GoldWave). Also I do a bit of programing (visual studio J# .NET). If it can handle those two things it should be able to easily cover the rest of the things i will be using it for.

Please dont just give me a link to dell.com or tigerdirect.com! Give me the link to the accual laptop allready configured.

I dont care if its used but plz not ebay.

THANK YOU!

i happened to find 2 laptops with almost the same config,besides some changes and having the same price. I want it mainly for gaming.

I saw a laptop with the following configuration.

Processor Type : Core™ Duo
Processor Number : T2400
Processor Speed : 1.83GHz
Memory Size :1024MB
Graphics Chipset : nvid GeForce 7900 Gtx
Graphics Memory : 512MB
Hard Drive Size : 80GB

the other laptop has the following configuration.

Processor Type : Core™ Duo
Processor Number : T2500
Processor Speed : 2.0GHz
Memory Size : 2048MB
Graphics Chipset :nvid GeForce Go 7900 GS
Graphics Memory : 256MB
Hard Drive Size : 200GB


Could you tell me which of these two would be better for gaming, and worth the price.

And if so, then how important is the processor speed, the graphics memory and the memory size of the laptop if i want a good gaming laptop?

Pls reply back asap as im in a hurry to buy one.

thanks

I've been saving for a laptop for about 3 years, and I finally have about $1,300 to spend. I would like to get a really good laptop and hopefully a printer, too. If anyone has any advice on which brand or specific laptop to get, I would really appreciate it. I've been looking into Dell Laptops the most, but I really don't know whats the best. Even if you're not an expert, but you have a laptop that you really like, please tell me. Thanks so much!
