Laptops & Notebooks - June 2007

I just want the best computer you think will work. I am a big fan of movies, so I need something that will be good for that, and I want something fast. I have heard good things about dells and the mac pro. I do not care about price, just the best one you think would work.

I have been a pc user throughout my 18 years of existence but am now faced with the decision: Dell or Apple for my brand-spankin-new college laptop. My choices have been narrowed down to these two brands due to Indiana University offering substantial student discounts. Up until a couple years ago I would have gone pc without thinking twice, but since then I have heard so many positive things about macs, so I was hoping somebody could help me out here. I will mainly be using this laptop for standard school duties, with maybe a little gaming on the side.. but mainly school duties... hopefully. Thanks in advanced for your help!

I am considering buying an Apple laptop since it's very entertainment-y, like with movie makers and such. I know about Bootcamp to help with Windows programs...but is it still not worth it?

Also Apple's coming out with Leopard, a new system...if I buy an Apple, should I wait for that? And what is it and when does it come out?

Thanks!

my old laptop would just change from ac power to battery power when i unpluged it. but my toshiba satellite turns off when i unplug it from ac. how can i make it so it just goes to battery power when i unplug it?
my battery is good. its new. and if i just turn on my laptop without having it connected to the ac power it works just fine. i just cant keep it on once i disconnect it. it just completely shuts down. it doesnt go on standby it shuts down. the problem is not my battery.

Uhg. Well, I love my laptop but it's a little old. Windows 98 but I had it updated to Windows XP. Well anyways, I used to be able to watch dvds on it but now it says I don't have the proper decoder, and then it takes me to a site that has plug ins that you can buy. Dx Is there anyway to make it so that I can play my dvd on it without buying that stuff? (I'm using windows media player right now)
Thanks

i usually use my laptop when before I go asleep to play video games on. i have it on my lap on top of my quilt. i always make sure it's ventilated by regularly holding it off the quilt and it never got hot before unless i had it on for ages. now it seems to be getting a bit hot quite quickly i've used it the same way for the last year and it has been fine. any idea why?

I bought a HP laptop and I need to take it to China this summer with me. I went to a luggage store in St. Catharines and purchased a converter kit with 4 plugs and an adaptor. I realized though that the plugs in the kit only support 2 prongs (no ground plugs). My laptop has a ground pin and i can't put it's cord into the converters. Given that laptops are used for business travel alot, does anyone know where or how I can buy a proper converter? I need my laptop to work there and I need to not blow it up in the process. I live in the Niagara region, any help here would be SOOOO appreciated!

Why have notebook companies not caught on to the concept, that the more customizable it is, the more they sell?!?!

That is what sold me on the Sony C Series. because it comes in colors you want, and with matching mouses.

Major companies are missing the boat! I'm sick of grey and black, what about you?

we have a laptop with a dvd burner. it's been great to burn lots of data to one disc like pictures and home movies. they make great gifts to our parents. but the thought hit me- if i can burn home movies and pictures and such, isn't it theoretically possible to burn a dvd movie to a blank dvd with my laptop? i wouldn't even know how to do this as i have just mastered putting my home videos on a dvd. i am not so good with computers...lol!
