My husaband is currently training to be a Home Inspector, (boo hiss I hear you all say!!)

I am buying him a laptop so that he can use it for his training and also use it for his business when he qualifies.


Can anyone reccomend a good laptop which is easy to set up and also easy to use?

I have looked at ebuyer.com and have considered purchasing an Acer aspire which has 1gb of ram(?). It has vista installed on it but some people have said to avoid vista but others have said it is brilliant so I dont know what to do!!

Mant thanks for all your replies in advance,

Cathy xxx

I have an IBM A31 laptop on my desk. I have an HP d5000 at my chair. Both use plugs with those lil' ol' boxes with cords leading to cylindrical plugins at the butt-ends of the computers. It surely would be handy, now and then, to cart the HP over to the desk and plug it in to the IBM's power cord (instead of unplugging the HP's cord, threading it out from under the chair, and carrying it over to the desk, and on, and on...)

Is it likely, these converters are the same? Or do I risk frying a computer? I MOST ASSUREDLY don't want to risk damaging a computer, of course.

...Should I go to the extent of bugging HP chat-line or some other tech rep?

I've bought my VAIO VGN-BX561B Notebook last August and ever since, it was heating a lot. After the first day of use, I went back to the store from where I bought it and told them, and they said it was normal. Now do you think it is normal, for it is really hot! And what should I do?

PS: my warranty is still valid untill next August.
Thanks for your help.

I was on my laptop as usual and suddenly the charger started to make noises and then when i looked down at it steam started to come out from it, so i instantly switched it off and nothing happened, but i don't want to risk usuing the laptop again incase it catches fire! Before this though it had difficulty in switching on and wouldn't always connect properly with the laptop, it also wasn't charging the laptop it was only making it run without charging. what do i do now?

I want to create a new partition for my HP laptop, so I can install Vista and keep XP. How exactly do I go about doing that? Also, I need to have a double boot, so i can pick XP or Vista at startup. I know it can be done, but I have NO idea how.

Please and thank you!

I have a laptop with badly fragmented C drive. I do not have the battery on my laptop. Also I do not have an UPS .I have two questions.
1) If power failure occurs while the defragmentation uility is running, will it wreck my C drive on the Laptop and render my laptop useless ? Will I be forced to reinstall the operating system again ?
2) If it runs too long , can it be cancelled without hurting the C: drive ? Is there a cancellation option on the defragmentation menu ?
My Laptop has Windows/Xp SP2.
Thanks for all the helpfull suggestions in advance !
