Laptops & Notebooks - April 2007

I'm planning to buy a laptop. To use applications like Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro which require extensive mouse usage, would a laptop be ok? I don't want to get an external mouse.
I don't know where the left and right mouse buttons are on laptop touchpad!

It happened a few weeks ago, I tried to play a cd and it just wouldn't read it. No cd's, dvd's, or roms. The drive exists, but when I put a disk in it tries to read it but gives up after a couple of tries. What can I do? Is it the laser out of alignment, can I check to see if that is it? Where can I find a replacement if I need to replace it?

My mac is running very slow and often times I have to wait a few secs before words I type down even show up on the screen.
We can not open up some files for some unknown reason and I used to be able to open up yahoo games now I can't even do that.
Also we have had firefox close the windows all by itself and say that none of the files have been affected but does not give a reason why it closed itself down.
Is there a way to have this fixed?

I have been able to use cntrl +f11 in the past but this time it will not work. I have the resource cd but I don't know what I need to do to get started. Sitting on the phone with tech support isn't fun either. Can someone please tell me the steps to get this up and running again.

I am considering buying a mouse for my laptop.
The touch pad is a little awkward sometime, especially when playing games like Yahoo pool.
But I'm feeling a little unfaithful to my laptop if I buy a mouse. I mean, the main attraction of the laptop is that it's all right here in one compact unit. Buying a mouse seems a little like a hypocrite. Do many people with laptops buy a mouse for it?

im a freshman in high school and need to know if i should get a windows laptop, black macbook, or macbook pro. i'm going to have this computer since i graduate high school so, it has to last me a long time or until college and then i'll get another one. i am an amateur photographer so working with pictures is big. i need a computer that can let me edit my home videos so, the computer has to have excellent video editing software. i go everywhere with my current laptop so, small size has to work, but not too small. i need a computer that doesnt heat up or freeze a lot like mine does. and, should i get a glossy screen or a matte anti-glare finish? please help! thanks
