Laptops & Notebooks - October 2006

Hey does anybody know how to fix whatever problem it is when your computer is not automatically running things, like in mine it doesnt detect the webcam out of any USB port or sometimes the memory stick port. It also doesnt detect when I put a CD on. I dont know what is going on and why it doesnt detect my webcam and the other things. I checked on the device manager and it doesnt say anything that is wrong. Does the Symantec have anything to do with it? Please help! :) Thanks .

The Dell Latitude uses the Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS 910GML Express Chipset.

I'm trying to get the laptop to work with an external LCD monitor (Viewsonic VX2235WM) widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050.

I can't seem to get my video drivers to output at that resolution.

I would like the definitive answer and ideally a link to the source of the answer.

I've looked around, and I can get a budget laptop for around £400 - one quote I've had puts the screen alone at £280 incl. VAT + fitting costs. I know that my laptop is a few years old, but it was working fine for me until I cracked the screen...

I love Mac products (i have an ipod, shuffle and nano) but I want to know if it's worth buying a 2.0 Ghz 13-inch Mac Book cuz i'm going to buy a laptop, and I really love the design of the new ibook, but I also like the VAIO's looks

but i have all my life used windows OS and I`m not sure if it would be a good idea to chage drastically of OS with mac (i tend to use this laptop for everything, house, school, etc.)

so please guys help out here!!
thanks!

This seems so hard. I dont want to play games or dowload movies or store millions of songs. I dont even need much memory since most of what I would save will be on my thumbdrive. All I want is something that can run basic Office programs like Word and Powerpoint and get wireless internet.

Is ebay really the best place? If so does anyone have any recommendations for what laptop companies to avoid?

Mac VS PC. With the advantages of both, why is it so hard to find software, games or accessories for Mac? I love my Mac, but I have such a hard time finding ANYTHING that will work on it.

Anyone have any reasons why that is? Please, no snide or sarcastic answers.

I popped the key off, it is a Sony VAIO laptop...it is very clean. The slash just starts and stops at will. I have run McAfee, but no virus seems to be the problem. Do you think the keyboard itself might be the problem? I am unable to type the forward slash when I depress the key.

Hi there today I went to Compusa, and purchased an ibook G4 the 12", 1.33 ghz, with combo drive, they have them in special for $749.00 including 3 years of apple care. But now my question is this, for 100 dlls more I can have the 14" with a super drive and 1.42 ghz, I don`t know what to do. Do I keep the 12" or should I spend 100 dlls more and go for the 14". What are the pros and cons of each model?
