Are all laptop batteries interchangeable between brands, or are they brand-specific? How about mobile chargers too, should I get one specifically designed for my laptop, or will any one do?

I don't know why it started doing this. It's only one week old. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Synaptics pointing device. Maybe I uninstalled it or did something wrong. I don't know what to do. I need help.

I know they get probably thousands of orders a day, but I recently ordred a Inspiron 1520 and the estimated arrival date is over a month away. Does it really take that long?

I'm going to college in a month and this saturday I'm getting a Dell laptop. I have gradually been getting nearsightedness and my vision is getting blurry. Does anyone know (and money isn't a factor) what video card I can get that will optimize refresh rate (greater than or equal to 85 hz rate)? Obviously there are many but I just need one that people have found effective... Nvidia, Geforce, etc?
thanks

Already decided on a macbook...
Now I just need to decide what specs to buy.
I am entering college as a freshman and want/need this laptop to last 4+ years. I'll be using it for school-related tasks (word, firefox) and music (not excessively; I barely have 1200 songs after 4 years of high school). What specs do I need in a laptop? Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to decide between a 15" Macbook Pro or a Dell 1520. I've priced both of them out to have the same specs. except that the Dell only goes up to a 2.2 ghz Dual-Core processor instead of the 2.4 which apple offers. I'm a college student majoring in Mass Communication Technology with a certificate degree in computer animation and graphic design. The Macbook costs more even with the student discounts but I've been having issues with my desktop PC lately so I'm wondering if the apple OS would be the better choice. On my desktop I'm running windows XP and on the Dell Inspiron the only OS they offer is Windows Vista, of which I'm very scepticle. Anyway I figure I'd also get an mp3 player to go with the computers also, an 80 GB ipod if I go with apple, or a 30 GB Zune if I go with Dell. Apple's financing is much better than Dell's, but again the Apple is about a $1,000 bucks more than the Dell, even with all the trimmings, taxes n' such. Let me know what you'd get. Thanks.

As a Mac user I obviously side with the Mac. I would like to hear your reasons behind the computer you like to use. For me it is the ease of use and the innovative thinking Apple brings to the table.

It's quite a powerfull wee job and I defrag it regularly and run a registry check.

I have some quite heavy duty programs on it and when I go control alt delete they are all showing.

Could this cause the slow running and if so how can I 'disconnect' them without deleting them?

I haven't heard much about it, but can it compete with H/P or any of the other big names? They seem common enough that they are worthy, but I just haven't heard much about it

My dog bit the ac adapter for my brother's laptop into two pieces. I had my resume on there and tomorrow I have an interview and the laptop won't turn on so my brother asked one of his friends if he could borrow their sony ac adapter ...and so he finally managed to find one but the problem is whenever i plug it into an outlet and turn it on at the same time.. it only stays on for a couple of seconds and then shuts down immediately. I don't know what to do because i thought the battery was dead so i got an ac adapter to charge it but how come the laptop only stays on for a couple of seconds as soon as i turn it on. Do you think i need to replace the battery because i know there is surely nothing wrong with the ac adapter or do you think there is something wrong with the laptop???? The battery should re-charge when i plug in the ac adapter to start charging but it doesn't. Help!!I have an inteview and I need my resume off of the laptop today itself.
