I have a macbook pro with A 2GHZ CORE DUO, 2GB of ram, 256MB ATI X1600. Basically its crazy fast but I hear that the core 2 duo is a bit faster and lot cooler temperature wise. The temp makes a difference cause you want to be able to use it on your lap etc. I got a sweet deal on the one I have and so its loaded with ram and the top graphics card. If I buy the new core 2 duo macbook pro for 2000 it will have a slightly faster chip (2.16) but al gig less ram and only half the memory on the graphics card. Do you think I should just keep the one I have or should I get the new one?

My Dell inspiron 1150 laptop's hinges are both cracked. One side is really bad, it cracked right off. I the other side is cracked and I'm afraid that the stress of doing all the work is going to break that one off too. Is it possible to fix this myself? Or if I bring it to a repair shop is it expensive. I hope I can use my laptop long enough to read your answers. Thanks!! Jesse

On my IBM Thinkpad R-51 laptop, the "r" key won't work unless I press down hard on it... I've tried cleaning the keyboard off, but that didn't help matters any. Any ideas on what's wrong, and if so, how do I fix it?

Laptop is crashing regularly.
Last report suggested that a device driver was the cause.
Previous report suggested that the problem was with RAM.
Asked PC world for disc to download diagnostic tool.
They said that such discs are not for sale.
Tried restore systems at 3 different highlighted dates.
Didn't work.
Anyone know what might work?
If crash happens while writing email, mail is lost.
Is there any way to automatically save such mails to draft when a crash occurs?

I can also upgrade to a 120gb hard drive and 1.73GHz processor for $100 more, is it worth it? I am a university student and I'd use it for schoolwork, internet, MSN messaging and playing the sims2
