Hi all,

I want to buy a laptop for my study. I'm not very good about hardwares, so how should I choose my laptop? I'm gonna need it for C++ (school, not work), Internet cable, music and some general applications. Plus, I don't play games, so there's no need for a fancy one here, but there must be at least 30 GB hard drive here and I can upgrade it anytime.

I'd like to spend around $400 - $600. Any suggestions for me?

Thank you.

When I leave my laptop open, and do not use it for awhile, the screen goes black. How can I stop it from doing this? I have it set so there is no screen saver. Would it still do this even with a screen saver?

I'd like the computer to stay on. The display can turn off, but I'd like the computer to stay awake. I looked in the Energy Savery control panel but couldn't find it.

What could have caused this? She has all her business software on there and can't access anything on the computer. She is the only one that has access to it (well besides her cats).

My Inspiron (SP?) will not turn on or if t does it freezes within a minute. I called Dell they said I need a new memory chip. Does this make sense? I already ordered the chip and am hoping that fixes it. When I try to power up the PC the lights do come on but only for a second, unless I am lucky enough for it to power up completley. I have read where it could be the motherboard. What could be the problem? Thanks

I recently pushed a new laptop. Last night I went to turn it on, and when I press the "on" button, nothing happens, I left it to charge up for about an hour, and tried again, but still, there is no response when I press the on button. It was working fine on tuesday, and I turned it off normally, but now it is unresponsive. Is there anything I can do other than bringing it in to be checked by Circit City or HP ?

I just got an older laptop and was wondering whether it'd be better to run XP or 2000. Its a Toshiba Portege 7200 with P3 650 mhzand 320mb RAM. I'm running XP right now and its a little bit slow, but bearable but i'm wondering if Win 2000 would be better.

The only things that are important are:

1) I'd like to do basic audio recording on it
2) I need to be able to use wireless internet thru a PCMCIA card.

Thanks for your help!

Just about every place I have checked has the same price, does Apple stop them from price competition?

Hi,
I have a Packard Bell notebook. It came with 512mb RAM but i removed that and inserted two 1gb sticks. Total ram is now 2gb which is the maximum.
UNfortunately programs still take way to long to open, and boot time is also slow.
Two main qsts:

1. Does it matter that i replaced the original RAM with new Kingston RAM?
2. If i try to speed up my bootup time, what are the essential programs required. Basically, what do i HAVE to keep in the msconfig startup box?

Thanks! :)

I have a Dell latitude D500 which crashed sometime back. The problem is that now when I turn it on, the caps lock light flashes 10 times, there is no display and the laptop shuts down. I tried seraching for this and found this
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/...
I tried the solutions given on that link but it didnt help.
I had 2 questions:
1) Has anyone faced the same problem and has a solution u think might work?
2) If not, does anyone know of a reliable place where I can get it repaired (Out of warranty, so Dell is out of question as they are too expensive). I would prefer a shop in the bay area though a reliable online retailer would be OK too..

I found this site

http://www.laptoponcall.com

Does anyone have experience with them? are they reliable?
