We're a couple of old'ns,pretty new at computers,who just do a bit of surfing the net,or buying the odd c.d,yet our laptop seems to be getting slower and slower.Is there something we should be doing or not doing?
Anyone who kindly answers please be gentle, rattling on about j.pegs and microbytes just leaves us with a blank stare.

I sold the dell xps because it was small, bulky, and everytime i played WoW it would get really hot. I have scars on my legs from the laptop's heat.

I'm looking for a laptop thats bigger, has a nice video card to play today's games and doesn't heat up too much.

I was thinking of the Sony Vaio sz220. Core duo 1.83 ghz/ 1 gb ram/ 120 gb hd/ NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 TurboCache supporting 128MB / Intel GMA 950.

What u guys think?

hi
i think there is some sort of problem with my laptop's battery.
my laptop turned off as the power outlet went out.....i mean isn't it supposed to run on battery even though the power outlet cuts off.......then i thought may be the battery has drained off but windows reports that the battery is 100% charged and it doesn't report any sort of problems connected with the battery,,,,,and one more thing, i cannot start the laptop from battery, ie., powerin up the laptop when it is not connected to power outlet.
the laptop is like just 3 months old......so i guess i am lucky enough to get it replaced, but still what went wrong whith the battery?

I need to spend under $500.00 and I want a kick butt laptop.

I will be buying it in the states, but I'm not there right now...

It doesn't need to be Dell or some big name, just reliable and a great value for the money..

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ok. So I just bought a new Windows Vista-based notebook PC. It has two seperate hard drives (160GB each) and a dual processor. Here are my questions:

1) Would it be possible to install Windows Vista on the primary hard drive, and then install a release version of MacOS X on the other hard drive?

2) If this is possible, how would I go about doing it. I have seen a few tutorials on dual-booting, but I don't exactly know what all they are talking about. I figure if I have two seperate hard drives, each with their own OS, I should simply be able to select which one to boot from each time that I start-up my computer.

Is this logical? If so, I just need someone to tell me how to go about doing it. But I don't know what version of MacOS X to get, and I don't know exactly how to go about doing this. If you could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hello. I find myself needing to get a laptop, but I don't have a grand or so to drop into one. I'm looking for a laptop that is priced $600-700, that's primarily going to be used for heavy Photoshop use. (big images, 15+layers). Can anyone point me to a general direction? I've searched myself but find the number of choices a bit overwhelming, and I'd like to get a good idea of what others suggest. Thanks!

Hi,

I am visiting India and I am planning to buy a new laptop for my friend in India. I came to know that the power adaptor cannot detect power fluctuations sometimes and so it harms the laptop. Has anyone faced similar problems like this? If so, is there any alternative other than not using the laptop in India.

Thanks,
ACP

A friend left my laptop open and on the couch and I think a guitar case banged into it. I turned it on and the computer worked but the screen was dark, the outside part was not cracked but on the inside you could see where it was hit. I went and bought another laptop but now I realized my computer was about a year old, it might be worth fixing. I got a new one but i dont like it as much and two laptops are better than one!!

My questions are...(1) Is it possible for a average person that works well with computers to do themselves with the right supplies?(2) Can it be fixed? (3)Where can I go to fix it without sending it somewhere? (4) About how much would it run for glossy Sony Vaio laptop screen? ...
Thanks!

I am setup for automatic updates but that never happens. If I try to do it myself I get an error number 0x80072EFD. Looking that up and following directions did not help.
