Laptops & Notebooks - October 2006

Vert lines through the display, pulsating. This happens after the laptop is warm. It is a known issue, I just can not remember the part name to replace, or where I can order it. If any one can help thanks!

I was given a pretty old Mac (Apple) Laptop. A Macintosh Powerbook 1400 Series. When it was used by my relative (who purchased and previously owned it) she used AOL on it. I do not use AOL. I use Comcast High Speed DSL, so I wanted to know the procedure for hooking up wireless internet to the laptop. Is it possible to use wireless on it even though it's old? Do I need an ethernet card? And if it's not wireless internet capable can I atleast use DSL that's not wireless? Help.

I have an apple G4 laptop, and every time I unplug it from its power cord, it automatically shuts down. You'd think that the battery would be dead, but at the top of the screen it says 99%. Then again, when I turn it over and press the button on the battery, it doesn't light up at all. But it couldn't be a dead battery, because it says 99%, right? But all the same, whenever I unplug it, it automatically shuts down and won't start again until I plug it in. :(
please help!

*Is it because i'm writing from files stored on a USB External hard drive?
*OR is it because i tried to update the driver and downloaded the wrong one? if so, how'd i find out what model i have? it doesn't say on the invoice or drive and there are several to download online...

cheers guys!

I am looking at buying a new Lenovo laptop and i'm looking at two different models and was wondering which you think i should go with:

ThinkPad R60e - $969.00
Intel® Core Duo Processor T2400 (1.83GHz)
15" XGA (1024x768)
80GB, 5400rpm SATA
CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo
6 Cell 2.4Ah Lithium-Ion

ThinkPad T60 - $1,154.00
Intel® Core 2 Duo™ T5500 (1.66GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB)
14.1" XGA (1024x768) (and should i bump it up to the sxga+ with better res?)
100GB, 5400rpm SATA
DVD Recordable Dual Layer Ultrabay Slim Drive
9 Cell Lithium-Ion

*Rest of the parts are the same*

This is mostly a work computer so word working on the airplane and that kind of stuff are my main tasks, no gaming or photo editing on this one. I am mostly concerned about performance and longevity, but aesthetics do play a part. Thanks for the help..
