Looking around the 1000-2000 dollar range

I have an ACER Aspire 5002 wLMi Laptop. It's just about a year old and I bought it new for $899 from Staples. I have looked on the web for newer laptops with all the bells and whistles and I have boiled it down to 2 choices: buy a laptop from iBuy for $1800 which would be dual core system or upgrade my ACER for about $500. If it were you and you had the cash, which would you do? If I buy the new laptop, what do I do with the ACER?

I'm borrowing a friend's lap top, an hp pavillion with h/k speakers built in. Nice but hmmm...no sound but the one 'error' beep, for everything including incoming e.mail.

Under settings/control panel/sound + audio devices, it confirms 'no audio device', (wha? the h/k speakers are fake?).

Can I fix this? Is some driver somewhere not switched on? Where? What?

Thanks in advance.

I've had it for only 3 months and usually it does beautifully, but an hour ago it froze. Just froze. The clock doesn't update, I can't move the cursor, the entire operating system (Mac OSX Tiger) froze. The screen hasn't even dimmed in the whole hour I've just let it sit. I've already tried all the keyboard commands for a forced shut-down and restart and all that jazz with no luck.

I was browsing the internet when it shut down, just normal stuff, nothing requiring any work on its behalf. Right now the only thing I can think of doing is waiting a couple hours for the battery to die.

How can I fix it?

Please help me, E-mail me so I know how to do this. Days like this really makes me wish I was a computer wiz. =(

I don't care what kind of virus, maybe something with massive pop-ups, or I don't know. ANYTHING.
