Laptops & Notebooks - October 2006

My laptop died, so I'm replacing it. I'm a huge fan of Toshiba, and my warranty credit is only at TigerDirect.com.

My old one was a P35 Pentium 4 3.5GHz, 1.5GB DDR RAM, 17' widescreen - but I ran it at about half-speed most of the time to prevent overheating, so I'm used to about 1.8ish.

This is my main computer, but I don't do anything that intensive: web browsing, Notepad web design, AIM, word processing, basic Java/Visual Basic programming. The ability to multi-task is the most important thing.

Here are my four choices:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2212530&CatId=2289
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2475964&CatId=1896
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2466470&CatId=2242

For simplicity, please refer to them by the model number (P35, M105, A105, F25)

Our laptop computer usually is able to go about three hours on battery before we have to plug it back in, and then it charges back up. But the last time we left it unplugged and then plugged it back in, the battery never did charge. It's been three days and it still says the battery is at 0%. If a battery is rechargeable I thought it didn't "die." Or am I wrong? Please no rude answers--I'm asking because I don't know.

I am attending school online and only need the laptop so that when riding the bus, or at lunchtime at my job, I can work on my classwork. I dont need bells and whistles, and I am going to purchase an ethernet card from T-mobile, to use to access the internet. I do not want "deals" that include signing up with Vonage, or any other company. Either online or in town stores are acceptable (I am in HOuston, Astrodome area) Thanks, in advance!

I hear the computer struggeling to keep cool more now than a year ago, it has never been cleaned in two years.

How would I take it apart to dust it w/o messing anything up? Do I just unscrew one screw and clean it that way or take it completely apart.....?

What is recommended?

My dad was (talking) about gettin me a laptop. But he didnt say whether for sure he was getting me one. But the other day I recieved a thing in the mail from dell saying "Thank you for choosing dell." The inside said"in addition to offering you our gratitude, we're also bringing you limited time discounts on top brand-name accessories and ect...."

The inside just contained codes for savings of 20% and 10% off along with codes for accessories and electronics.

I am nosy so i wanted to know if anyone else recieved one after purchasing one. If my dad did, it would been bought online since he shops online. THanks!

Whenever the temperature rises, the fan starts making a humming noise. This happens just recently. What shall I do? I've been looking all around for a similar fan but I can't find it.
