Laptops & Notebooks - June 2007

I am interested in buying an Acer Aspire Notebook PC 5100 . I found it on sale for $499.00 at Circuit City. I will be using my laptop to basically go online. Is this a stable laptop to buy for online/websurfing purposes.

The URL to this laptop info is below:

Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
My laptop is a Dell Latitude C400 (a bit on the old side now) And for a long time the fan had been getting louder and louder, although I hadn't noticed because it was quite gradual. Well it was rattling a while ago and then just plain stopped. It's out of warranty,etc so I opened her up and unplugged the biggest hair/dust/crap ball ever! It was amazing that it hadn't stopped a long time ago, poor thing!

So I start her up again and the fan doesn't start. Ever. I looked around for weeks for stuff online and finally heard about this program which can force the fan to go faster or slower or stop, etc. I get the right version for my latitude and wey hey the fan starts spinning (beautifully silent I might add). But after about a minute it stopped again.I decided maybe the problem is the computer communicating with the fan so I reformatted the entire thing, did all the checks afterwards and it still isn't working. heat test showed it at 0rpm.

Its Windows XP, so I am not getting any command as scandisk to cure bad sector.


I tried to restore my system thru windows and it did but still blue screen appear now and then

I tried to restore laptop using Dell restore also, Mine is a dell laptop.

Though it restored but yet problem of blue screen is not solved.

I tried disk clean up, de-fragment. Thorough Diagnostic of Dell, but nothing worked.

Please tell me how to get rid of this blue screen.

Dell don't give any installation Cd for windows so I can't format and re-install windows!!!

please suggest!!!

hello i just a new macbook pro. and i'm planning to run vista occasionally using parallel. The model comes with 2GB of PC-5300 RAM. Is that going to be sufficient? I'm going to play some games (not really intensive) on Windows. Also, is it worth it to upgrade my RAM to 4GB? Does brand matter?

Thanks a lot for your replies xD

OK. Basically, I have an IBM Thinkpad laptop. It has had its problems but I've fixed most of those with updated drivers. Everything was working fine and all of a sudden my touch pad stopped working. I reinstalled the drivers and tried a few things and none of them seem to work. When I use an external mouse, it works.
Please help and thanks
