It looks similar to Acer tablet PCs, but this one has a beautiful metallic design.

I recently bought a new battery for my Dell Insprion 7500. The battery is still in it's initial charging period. Can someone tell me how to make the battery last a long time and how long the initial charge time should be?
Thank you.

ok so I'm having a very difficult time deciding between a dell laptop or a macbook. I'm in college right now and need something that will be portable and able to use on and around campus. My major is journalism if that helps. And I basically would like to know what I should get. I would also like to know how many users have had problems with a mac if at all possible. I love to write, use the internet and listen to music also. My dads a computer anaylist and insists that I should get a dell because it would be more compatible in the future ie when I get a job. Anywho please someone help me out ASAP!
A special thanks to all that come across this a read this and possibly answer this you do me a great justice here!!!!

I am in no dire need of a MacBook. I have my iBook, and it runs fine. A new computer certainly is, however, in my future, and I'm just about certain it will be the MacBook with Super Drive and upgraded internal HD to 120 GB and additional RAM. However, my dilemma stems from the free iPod nano deal they have now. Do I buy a MacBook now and save about $175 on my purchase by selling the iPod nano on eBay, or do I wait until the winter for potential upgrades? I don't really want to wait any longer than the end of 2006, so if there's no upgrades by then, I'll probably buy one anyway.

What would you do in my position? MacBook now or later?

Ok I've done my home work looking at laptops. My needs are pretty standard. I'm not worried about pre loaded software, but rather hardware. I won't play any games are do anything that I know of that takes alot of memory, but I do know one thing.......... I hate having to wait for things to boot up or stuff to load in!! So what kind of proceesor is recommended for speed. I am seeing prices around $850.00 for 1 GB DRAM, 100GB HD is an Intel CORE Dou processor 1.6 GHz a the best choice? Are there comparable processors that are cheaper? My price range is $800.00 - $900.00

I have a compaq presario v2623ts laptop with celeron M processor.

Will I damage my laptop if I run it 24x7. There is no air-conitioning in the room where it runs. The temperatures are in the range of above 90F.

What should I do to keep my laptop healthy while running 24x7.

I have not shutdown the laptop since the past 5-6 days. Will it be harmful for the system?
