Looking at purchasing a laptop, when it says card based enabled, is that for memory sticks that digital cameras utilize?

I have approx 2000 tunes which i need to tranfer over as well as two other accounts (one for mini pod 2 for shuffel). Also I need to transfer additional work files to the laptop is the best way to save them all to a CD and then put them on?

Further, how would I then go about wiping the PC so that none of our data is stored on it for prying eyes to use.

The section where you plug the charger in has slipped so it won't charge anymore...

The laptop is a Ben Q joybook 5100U laptop. Everything else works but the keyboard. Is this because of the mainboard or is it something else. How much will it cost to get it fixed. Everything else works but the keyboard. Is this because of the mainboard or is it something else. The only way to use the laptop is to connect a external keyboard. But how can I fix the main keyboard? do you know what the problem is ?

Alrightly so a few months back I bought a Laptop. Paid $1400 for it, really nice laptop. But I have a (trendnet) router. Not the best router out there. But I had a extremly shitty signal with it.

I took it back and got a Custom built Desktop PC built for gaming. But now I need a laptop for school. The laptop I paid 1400$ for a year ago is now 699$ Im wondering if it was the laptop or my wireless router causing the problem. I could not walk more than 10 feet without getting "poor signal". And I need a laptop for school now. Heres a link to my original Laptop perhaps some one can take a look and tell me. I need desk net connection possible, suggestion on what to look into also?

I'm looking to replace the battery on my IBM ThinkPad 240 and from what I can tell, it's offered in 3400 mAh, compared to the 1400 mAh that came with it. I guess I have a few questions...

1. What does "mAh" mean?

2. What will the higher number translate to in terms of how long I can run my computer? Will it run (3400/1400) times longer than it did using the 1400 mAh battery when it was brand new?

3. Is it even worth spending about $50 to replace the battery on a laptop as old as this?

Hi, I'm a late teen, and keen to buy a laptop, but I don't have too much money, and don't know a lot about laptops... I primarily want to edit videos that I record for projects, and burn copies of the edited film. I presume I will need a few firewire connections and a lot of disk space, but is there anything else I will need?

The graphics card should be a good one, but then I only have around £500, so are my demands that realistic?
Internet is a must, and the ability to play some recent games would be a plus (as work can get very boring!).

Any help appreciated, and if there is a specific laptop that you know fulfills my needs, please write the name!!

cheers
