Laptops & Notebooks - August 2006

I want to be able to use my laptop for a good number of years. I was wondering is it better to use the laptop plugged into the adaptor or without? Like does it work the same way with a cell phone? should i charge it off rather than on?

I mostly just want my own for my iTunes and LimeWire so it doesn't slow down the family computer. I also like picture and video editing if that makes a difference. I'm sure with computers, you get what you pay for, but what's the most reliable one to get for a reasonable price?

Because I seriously don't want to have to fork up a lot of money to get another battery. It's bad enough I'll have to wait a couple of weeks for it to ship.

It's usually just if I have it unplugged and have it playing a video, but it just turns off. No warning or anything.

As I said in a previous question, my laptop has gone bust and I dont know why. After receiving advice from people in yahoo answers, I got an enclosure and put the laptop hard disk in there without any problems. The problem now is the following: When I connect the enclosure with the HD to the computer, the computer recognizes the new usb hardware but as soon as I want to start getting the data out, the hard disk is all hung up and does not work anymore. So..
1. Does this mean that the hard disk is faulty?
2. Are there any applications to help one with this?
3. What can I do now??????

All your help is kindly appreciated

My laptop supports PC2-5300 RAM but it only came with PC2-4200 RAM. And also my laptop came with 100GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive and I know Hitachi and Seagate came out with 7200RPM SATA Hard Drives but maximum size is 100GB. So my question is should I get the faster RAM or the faster Hard Drive. My budget is to only get either or for the time being. I currently have 1GB of RAM. So if I do upgrade to the faster RAM, I will max out my laptop with the 2 Gigs. So any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a good notebook to use in college and therefore need to decide between these two notebooks. Since it is for college purposes, the laptop has to be light and easy to carry around while still being durable and good in the areas of having a comfortable to type with keyboard, a good battery life, small and compact, and with the features that are needed for a notebook used for college.

Okay, I will be doing a research project travelling the United States videotaping people for a documentary (if you know the best camcorder to get that's small and works great and compatible w/ a laptop/notebook i'd like to hear about it).

I need a laptop/computer that has wireless internet, firewall, an ethernet connection, cd/dvd burner (i want the dvd burner, not just the dvd player), I also need some kind of media software and it needs to have good sound and can do good video editing.

Any suggestions? What price range will I be looking at?

Thanks!!!!!!
