Laptops & Notebooks - May 2007

I want one that is not outrageously expensive, but yet, has fast connection to the net..and not the cheapest one on the block either! Maybe one that has good ratings...

Basicall im torn between an acer 5633 wlmi (intel core 2 t5500) or an amd(turion x2 tl52) powered dell. I've seen alot of negative reports about acers build quality, however the general specs are alot better then the dell for less money. Any advice or thoughts on these, or other brands would be great. I got a budget of £600 max. Thanks!

In the above site I have shortlisted 2 models one is for Inspiron 6400 with Intel® Core™ Duo Processor for HKD 5888 (US$ 755)
& the second one is Inspiron 6400 with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor: HKD 6688 (US$ 858).

The expensive one is with Core 2 Duo processor. What is the difference in core duo & core 2 duo processor. Which one to buy & should be value for money !

By the way, I need this notebook only for internet with wireless connectivity, photos, documents or sometimes for gaming.
Thanks for taking out time to read my lengthy question.

I just purchased an Acer Aspire 7112 and it looks like it only has SPDIF audio output. I know it's a digital output but does anyone know if there is an adaptor that can go from SPDIF to RCA stereo? (ie plugging in speakers or even just headphones). Or is there another normal audio output on the 7112? Help!

Hi,
I just bought this morning a 1 GB ddr2 Ram and installed it in the second slot of my notebook's memory.
Now my question is, when i had only 256mb of memory, my operating system used an average of 80mb when no programs are running.
Now that it has 1.27GB of memory, it is using 450mb of memory with no applications/programs running. why is this so?

thanks.

I know nothing about computers and I'm in the market for a laptop. I was going to get 1GB with windows vista but some people tell me you need 2GB to run that program. I'm mostly using it for email, word processing, and looking at pictures from my camera. I guess I might load other programs as necessary, like turbotax. Is 1GB enough? And what are good brands? Price is important, but I'd rather pay a little more to get something that I can use for a long time.

I am going to buy a laptop for graduate school. I will be carting it to school with me every day so would prefer something lighter if at all possible. I also need something that isn't too terribly slow. I don't need anything that has lots of memory since I am using it simply for internet, applications like Word and Powerpoint and that's about it! Any suggestions?

I'm looking for somthing with wireless internet, a decent amount of memory, somthing that can burn CD's and plays DVD's, and somthing that I wont go insane over it being slow. I don't do any sort of gaming so no need to bother with that. Just looking for something that wont break easily. If you guys could give me some ideas that would be great.

okay, so i used to have a laptop, and it stopped working but the hard drive was perfectly fine. Recently my dad took out the hard drive and is now using it on his laptop because his hard drive crashed. Since he is using my old hard drive right out of my old computer, would everything still be on it? documents and pictures and such?
PLEASE HELP.
no stupid answers either please..

Lookin to buy either the ASUS G1, or G2...or possibly an alienware. Before everyone goes "oooo alienware...leetsauce best gaming laptop ever" ....please go look at specs. Im spending no more then 2,000 , and the asus G1 is about equally equipped, if not more equipped then the 2,000 dollar alienware (only the alienware has a 7900, compared to a 7700....but only has 1 gig of ram....)

So basically, any thoughts? Any others i should look at?
