I have an hp Centrino zt3380us and it has an 2.0 usb enhaced port but the speed is the same as usb. 1.1. I see adapters on ebay that are adapters that plug in to your usb hubs in the laptop but it seems this would not change anything because they are 1.1 even though the adapter is usb 2.0. so I have seen pc cards that have usb 2.0 with four hubs and wondered if the would convert it to usb 2.0. thanx peeps.

I have Avast antivirus on my laptop and I don't have the problem of it running in the background all the time as Spy Sweeper does on my desktop. I want to delete Spy Sweeper and install Avast but then I wonder if Spy Sweeper is working harder than Avast when it's constantly running. Has anyone else had this problem with Spy Sweeper, or feel as though there is a problem with Spy Sweeper? And, does anyone have an opinion about Avast?

When I put my laptop on my lap it feels really warm. I know for men they say that it is not good. What about women?

I posted a question under another user I have about a month ago or something like that. It was just a simple question. "Macs: love them, or hate them?" and explain why, of course. I totally forgot about it because I rarely log in as that user, but I did tonight, and the question's gone? It wasn't that old, so someone must've written something not-so-nice, and since I'm the nosy/curious/inquisitive type, I wanna know what it was!!! Can I, or am I gonna have to let this one go? :P

A tech looked at it...seems to be the power supply. I believe it is soldered to the motherboard- right? Any ideas how much it would be to fix it? I'm handy...can I do it myself? Pop out key borad, unscrew, pop it in and out??? Any other ideas on why it won't turn on...tried other power cable still nothing...and it should run on AC power even if the battery is dead.

I recently had to replace the hard drive in my Medion laptop. It's only 1 year old. I put the same version of Windows XP on it as I had before. I cannot connect to my wireless connection because it doesn't seem to recognize that I have a wiresless card. What could the issue be and how might I go about solving it. $50/hr or whatever to call Microsoft just doesn't make financial sense.

I bought my laptop two weeks ago and I got window system error and it said that "There is a duplicate name on the network". How do I get rid of that, so that it stops from showing up. It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop.

It is for academic work and does not need gaming capabilities.
Also any info on student/educational discounts would be appreciated.

I have a Dell laptop with a Sony DVD+-RW DW- Q58A. It reads and writes dvds, but it will not recognize cds or writes to them. There is no firmware update offered at the sony site or the dell. I've switched the primary and secondary IDE channels to DMA mode, no dice. I've also manually forced to drivers to a CD drive, still nothing. I'm pretty sure rmaing the drive is useless because I've searched forums and found that this drive has this problem. So, before I take that step, I would like to know if anyone has suggestions/answer to my problem.

Hello... I purchased two laptops from the Dell Outlet today, both E1705 units with different features, one with more ram, dvd burner, one with better video (7900GS), etc. I basically intend to take the best pieces of each into my new laptop, and then ebay the other one. :) My question is, one has the T2300 processor (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB) and the other has the T2250 processor (1.73GHz/533MHz FSB). If all other things are equal, which will be faster, the one with more processor speed, or the one with the higher FSB speed?

Once we've established that, one other question.. I notice both laptops only have 533mhz ram, so assuming I don't buy faster ram, am I correct in thinking FSB won't matter and I'd be better off with the slightly faster CPU? :)

Thanks much for the advice!

Sony batteries used in DELL, Toshiba and Apple laptops have all been recalled because they could overheat, and pose a fire hazard to consumers.
Have you ever had any problems with your SONY VAIO's batteries?...

I own an Acer Aspire Series 1600 and it seems to overheat or something after 2 hours use. I have enough air ventilation around it. I've heard of docking stations that have a couple of fans on it and that it seems to prevent this problems. Will one of those help?
