Laptops & Notebooks - February 2007

I found similar models at 'Toshiba Direct.com site at USA.But they don't sell/ship to Japan.Toshiba's home site in Japan is only in Japanese & they deal with Japanese OS only. I wonder, since Toshiba is based in Japan, whether they have any assistace for my needs! Please help me to contact Toshiba with my needs! Some shops at Tokyo sell international models(with English OS). But, they are very old models!

Often when i'm using the touchpad, it accidentally starts dragging things like icons in Windows Explorer, or worse, it drags and misplaces text in Word. I hate this! Is there a way i can disable the drag feature on the touchpad? I haven't seen no such option in the touchpad's settings :-(

i have a working laptop with windows xp with recovery disk still with me. If I upgrade my HDD, how can I transfer the OS? is the "winxp os" embedded in my HDD? or it is in my recovery disk?
I guess the real question is... Will my recovery disk work in my newly installed HDD?

overpriced i believe, i really think you can get a much better computer for the price you pay for an apple. typically i prefer, Sony and Toshiba, esecially for laptops.

I haven't much experience with macs, something tells me that it's just the right purchase to make...why should i wait for leopard to come out, if i don't wait will it be difficult (or worth it) to upgrade? I heard that there are usually sales on macs during "back to school" time is this true? i'm a student so i already get a small discount, if there is a back to school sale will the savings be that much more. Please feel free to give any opinions....not having mac experience makes me eager to hear others thoughts....THANKS

I have cable and I want to be able to watch it on my laptop, however, my T.V. is an older one and I can't hook it up directly to my laptop. Is there any sort of module or whatever that can connect my cable to my computer?

Hi Everyone -

Here is what I need.

I need a good laptop. I don't really mind the thickness, or weight of the laptop. Just as long as it doesn't weigh as much as a desktop.

I need to be able to have as much as 10 programs running at the same time. So, a lot of RAM, and a good processor (I prefer AMD, instead of Intel)

I also need a good graphics card. I will be watching a lot of movies on my laptop.

I need a lot of space as well. At least 60gb.

I need it to be somewhat durable, so if I drop it, it won't be completely useless. This is not a requirement, though.

I need a wide screen as well. No tiny screen, at all. 16" at least.

Don't really need any preloaded software. Just adobe acrobat. Windows XP Pro prefered. Not too excited about Vista.

Also, I am not sure how this works, but I want a fast internet connection, so if there are certain laptops that get better inernet connections, I want one!

Thanks guys!

My CD rom drive is toast on my laptop...how can I reformat my harddrive? The laptop has no floppy disk either, however it does have a USB...

Could I copy a version of Windows installation CD on the USB and do it that way instead of the CD? If so, how?

I also have a desktop right next to my notebook and they are on a shared network, could I paste the content of the Windows Shared Folder and installed on the laptop from there?

I know I should just buy a new laptop or exernal CD drive but I can't afford it...

I own an HP desktop that is about 5 years old and it works just fine, but i need a computer that is portable. Can anyone recommend a brand that is under $1000 and very reliable? I would mainly be using it for doing research on the internet, downloading music to upload on my ipod and word processing.

Also, what is the best website or store to buy a new computer? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a student in the market for a laptop, however when I ask around Campus I get a variety of responses. My observations are that the most common ones around campus are Dell, Toshiba, IBM, HP and Acer. I'm kinda preferential to Dell but they can be quite expensive when I request the features I want. If anyone has really good experience with a particular brand of laptop for at most 4 years can you please help me?!!
