I have a year and half old HP laptop that was mid-range when I bought it, but I would like it to run a little fast for games. If I can upgrade the RAM where should I take it? Is it possible to upgrade the video card too?

My dogs ran into the cord of my laptop and pulled it off the table. Now it has a big crack on the LCD screen. I can still see what I'm doing on the screen, it's just that the crack is very noticeable and there is discoloration in the top right corner of the screen. I don't have the money to buy a new one right now, and I'm gonna need this for school next week. So I was wondering will the screen or anything else get worse if I continue to use it being cracked? I really don't mind using it still, but just wanna make sure it's safe to continue using. Thanks. Oh yeah, I got my eye on a few replacements on ebay, I just don't wanna buy a new one right now.

I need something real durable. I've had HP as PC's and I've absolutely adored them, they're really durable without major crashes for about 5 years before changing the PC's. Just wondering if it's the same for Laptops.

I just bought a toshiba Satellite R20 tablet and it crashed twice already, forcing windows to shut down and back up my memory because of a major error.

Anyway. Majorly opting on returning the satellite and going for HP. I have abt 5 days left in the bestbuy's 14-day trial.
Opinions? Thanksss!
