I am getting a new computer, but not sure if I should get a home computer or a lap top. Which would be better? I already have a computer, but it will be for my kids and the new one will be for me and my school work.

I am going to buy a laptop this week. I do not currently have a computer at my home at all. I will be using it to pay bills and keep up with money, burn cds and dvds, store my pics from my digital camara, put stuff on my ipod, surf the internet, email, talk to my best friend in japan, and I need a good bit of memory so I can finish writing my book. I would like it to be wireless and high speed. What brands are the best? the worst?

Everytime I try to use my laptop whether I'm downloading songs, updating my ipod or anything i do it shuts down and it gets really hot. But my friend has a laptop that gets as hot as mine and it doesn't shut down. I'm so frustrated...I'm about to buy a new one after only having it for 2 years. Help me please!

We all have company laptops.

The company has always had a "computer usage policy" which prevents us using our machines for anything other than company business, but everyone ignores it and the company have always turned a blind eye.

However, we now have a new IT Director who is clamping down.

A friend has already been disciplined and given a written warning and now the new IT Director has asked us to bring our laptops into the office so they can be inspected.

I have never used it for "adult" websites, but I doi have all sorts of other programs in use that officially I should not.

Apart from (i) deleting any programs that shouldn't be there (ii) emptying the recycle bin (iii) clearning out word and excel of all personal files and folders (iv) deleting cookies (v) clearing "my favourites"... is there anything else I need to do to "clean" on my machine before I get an a** kicking ?

All advice gratefully received.

My camera fell onto my laptop and I now have horizontal and vertical lines going across it with a spider web type impression on the screen. There is no indentation on the screen. Is there a way to repair it or do I have to have the screen replaced? Dell said it would cost about $600. We have a lot of files that we don't want to lose and the laptop cost about $900. Who can repair it for less than $600?

I bought 2 of them and one does not work at all. In fact it looks slightly different...it fits fine, but does not look the same s the other, or the other 2 of the 256mb I am replacing. The package (kingston) are both labeled identical. Perhaps I have one that was mis-labled and is incorrect as it will not work?
