Laptops & Notebooks - July 2007

2007-07-07 03:56:37 · 3 answers · asked by Sucre Noir 5

When Windows Vista first came out, I recall it was January. Maybe in February, I needed a laptop, so my father and I went to Best Buy to look for some notebooks. We asked the Geek Squad what they think, buy or don't buy Windows Vista. The man said " I would wait until the summer because the opperating system is new", which I agree on. Now it's July, and I called the Geek Squad and asked them again, buy or don't buy Windows Vista. The guy said "I would wait until the end of summer to buy a laptop becuase it's the little bugs and viruses on Windows Vista that make you want to pull out your hair". I'm confussed. I don't know what to do, I want to wait so I have a good notebook for a while, but then again I get impatient waiting for Windows to finaly fix these minor problems. I read what people said to others, " Wait 6 months". Please reply.

By your experience which is the better RAM? Crucial or Corsair? And why?

I have a Toshiba satellite pro L20 with a 1.73GHz pentium M processor, 512Mb RAM (can be upgraded to 2Gb).

It doesn't do very well when I try to play games on it, I'm not sure if this is due to lack of RAM or the graphics card or whatever.

Do you think that adding more RAM would solve my problems or should I get a better computer with a better graphics card and more RAM?

(I have Direct X 9.0 with Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express chipset: I have no idea what this means however, hope you do)

I hav an IBM laptop. the booting consumes a lot of time say 10-15 minutes. when i press the on/off button it stucks on to the page "IBM Thinkpad" "Press F1 and F12" etc for that much time. After that, its ok and fast. What could be be problem as there is no virus problem. please help. Can it be hard disk or some other internal problem? I have just changed the battery and upgraded it to extra memory.

I just dropped my Dell Inspiron 2200 onto the tile floor from the bed. It was about a 2 foot drop, which in most cases wouldnt have hurt it that bad, but considering the fact that it bounced I think it is what led to the reason the screen is showing up shattered from the inside. Does anyone know what I could possibly do to save it? Can the screen be replaced?

Any help or assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

By getting the 4GB option, it will cost me $800. Is it worth it to get that memory? I don't think I'm going to be doing anything that will use up that space, but I would also like the laptop to last me four years in college. Any advice?

I know this question has already been asked but what i know about pcs and laptops is pretty much nothing. I knownhow to turn it on and thats about it.

I have a laptop and it keeps constantly re starting - boots OK windows Logo appears - gets almost to the start screen and shuts down and does the same again - same thing happens in safe mode as well it scrolls all the text in safe mode and the restarts.

It had been running fine. Went in the bath and it had restarted itself. Any help in basic step by step instructions would be great!

Thanx in advance

I'm currently writing a book, and since I'm constantly on the go, I need a laptop so I can write wherever I am. I need a laptop that is easily portable, has good software for what I need, and is compatible with Microsoft Office Word Documents.

What type of wire/cable would I need to hook my notebook to my stereo and where on my notebook would I hook up it up to? Would I use my headphone outlet? If you could give the exact cable so I could go to a Bestbuy, Circuit City, Radio Shack etc. and ask for it that would be great. Thanks...

I'm wanting to upgrade my Compaq Presario C509 notebook memory which is currently 512MB. I was browsing through best buy and came upon a PNY 1GB memory on sale for $44.99 at Best Buy. Should I or should I not? I've never dealt with memory upgrades so I don't really know what to look for as for brands. Whats your opinion?

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have just purchased an Acer TravelMate 3200 without an operating system. It came with the bootable disk and recovery disks(3). Its necessary I put Windows XP Pro on it.
I've yet to get the Windows XP Pro (as I only have a Compac Operating System CD disk handy with Microsoft Win XP Pro).
1/ Do I need to do anything before putting Windows XP on (ie run the recovery disk/s first)
2/ Could I use the Compac disk that has Micr Win XP Pro on it or is that a complete no no.

Totally new to this - any advice much appreciated
