It's made by NEC, and has a 1.66 core duo processor, 1gig of RAM, and ATI's Radeon Xpress 1250 chipset. Maybe I should get more memory added so that I can dedicate more RAM to the graphics? I'm so bad at this stuff. It's the LaVie 850 model by NEC, only avaliable in Japan.

I've checked Best Buy, Conn's, Office Depot, and Fry's.

I'm interested in the Thinkpad R60, because I love the pointing stick feature (that little nub in the middle of the keyboard used for navigation). It is a neccessity to me.

What is so wrong with IBM's that nobody will sell them?

I just bought a new Gateway laptop and I hooked up the wireless router. Things were fine until I turned off my computer. When I restarted, I had to hook the router up by cables again and go through a 5 minute process. Are all laptops like this, or is it because of my router? Their online support told me that I had to hook it up again every time I restarted.

Thank you!!!

i put limewire on my computre before and now i have a bunch of viruses and i had to get rid of it and now i have a mac os x. on the first week i got it i downloaded limewire and it messed it up so badly i had to take it back to the store, they couldnt fix it, so luckily they gave me a new one.


but now i wanna download and my comp doesnt work so is limewire okay if i take certain percautions. cause the guy on the apple helpline said he has limewire but the guy at the store said its horrible cause it opens up ur hard drive or something. and maybe there is another system like limewire that is better for mac? thanks

I can't get my computer to record my voice. I'm positive my last Dell laptop had a microphone built in, but even if I turn on the microphone in the task bar, my voice doesn't register when I test it. How do I know if I have to buy an external microphone or if one is built in and I'm not using it properly???

This laptop won't load the operating system for some reason. I want to try to reboot Windows xp and erase my old version but when the computer starts up, it only gives me a choice to hit f2 and that takes me into setup. On my other computers it would give me a choice to press esc and it will go into another menu which will allow me to boot up from the cd. I tried going into setup(f2) to try to boot the cd but it didnt work. Is there a certain button config. that i could use to get into the bios menu???

An error message precedes the booting up of the computer indicating "PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, Check Cable. The black screen then asks me to insert system disk. I used a boot disk for XP and received additional instructions, but no repair. I want to invistigate all mechanical connections within. Unit has been handled roughly.

One day my laptop made a "POP" noise and since I have had no sound. I have called around and have been told it would be cheaper buying a new laptop rather than fixing. Is this true?
I have a Gateway, about 3 years old.
