If you buy a new laptop hard drive often you will have to take the old hard drive ribbon or whatever it's called off and place it on the new one but if you don't have the old connector/ribbon where can you buy a new one?

I'm a student and i am looking for a laptop with excellent graphics for watching movies and play games. This is to fill up all the free hours I get at uni! I heard that the Toshiba Qosmio range is good, but are there any other options?

I also need the laptop to do work on (obviously)!

Portabililty isn't essential, as most multimedia laptops are quite bulky, but if im able to carry it to the library and back that would be a bonus!

Buying laptops is soo confuzzling, theres too many on the market! I'm also unsure as to whether i should wait until next year until the Window Vista OS comes out. (im not really in a hurry to buy a laptop, but it would be nice to have one to fill up these boring mornings at halls)

My price budget, i would say is about £1500 - £1800 (I no pretty high for a student!)

So....do you guys hav any recomendations?

I have a Dell inspirion laptop, which was purchased July 2004. It's awlays worked pretty good. Lately, its been freezing up, the screen turning black, and the lights all lit up on the panel. It wont react to anything except, unplugging the power cord and taking out and re inserting the battery.

I've noticed this happens frequentyl when I unplug or plug any USB cords in/out. But sometimes, it happens when nothing...is bothering it. I run virus scans and doesnt detect anything. Does anyone know what many be causing this?

Since my computer is older, my warranty is up, and I'm not gonna bother sending it back to dell to be fixed, I'd prefer to buy a new one but that will take more time. So does anyone have any ideas about what may be causing this?

I've seen someone with a macbook pro & I couldn't help but notice that the program he was using was windows. I asked and he said you have a choice of mac or windows when you boot. I couldn't ask some more, so does the laptop really come with that option? what do you call it? Because I'm thinking of buying it! Help anyone!
