I am customizing a pc and getting 240 gb of hard drive storage is LESS expensive than getting 200 gb of hard drive. i was wondering how this could be. but it said for 240 gb , u get 5400 rpm. but when u get 2000 gb , u get 7200 rpm. so rpm must be significant to buy a pc. so what exactly is it and what does it do for ur computer. i am looking for a hp notebook if it helps. thank u. 10 points to most thorough answer.

I like making my own music on garage band

I like making movies and have already won a small film festival in my city.( im getting pretty interested in film)

I am in high school so i type alot of documents.

I hope to take this computer all the way to college so i want one that will last.

Because I am in highschool I don't have that much money and a PRO would put me out most of the money that i have.

I have ALOT of stuff on itunes and still want memory to spare.

I like playing computer games sometimes so i won't have alot of games on the computer maybe one at a time.

I am looking at the Black macbook with 120 GB and 2.16 ghz i think.

thanks in advance

I am about to purchase a Macbook Pro. I do not like the 17 inch Macbook Pro because it is heavy and big...

I am in love with the 15 inch.

$1,999 for the 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1440 x 900 resolution
2GB memory
120GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 128MB SDRAM

And $2,499 for the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1440 x 900 resolution
2GB memory
160GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM

Now, my question is: Is there any big difference between the both?

I Am lookign to buy a laptop soon and was wondering if the 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, is superior to the 7800GTX. I got the 7800GTX in my desktop, and although its an old guy now, it runs really well. The 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS is DirectX 10 card, and its 383MB instead of the 7800GTX's 256MB.

But does that nessecarily mean the 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS is superior to the 7800GTX. I just wanna know for refrence so I can get a clue of what I am getting in a notebook before I order it.

I actually have two questions. First, I'm getting a laptop that has a Geforce Go 7700, and since it's coming with Vista Home Something, I assume it can run DX10, but I want to make sure. Second question: I have Vista Ultimate but I lost the packaging and I'm not sure if it's an upgrade CD, or a full install CD, but I'm pretty sure it's a full install. Even if it is a full install, can I just pop it into the lappy with the pre installed Vista Home, and get Ultimate Vista in the end, thanks in advance.

I'm doing research on notebook computers and I am considering an Apple MacBook. I am a college student so having an application where I can type papers and put pictures into a paper are a must. I grew up using Microsoft Office and use Word, Excel, and Powerpoint very extensively. I would be open to buy one if Apple has a program or suite similar to that. Can you print papers with any printer or must it be a Apple certified one or something? Is it easy to transfer files from a PC to a Mac via home network or jump drive? I'm not a big fan of Quicktime, is there another Media Player I can install? I have read comments about people complaining that 512MB of ram is not enough. Best Buy has one on its website with an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz and one gig of ram, is that good for this notebook? Obviously I have many questions. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to post pros and cons about the MacBook as well . Thanks and enjoy your day :)

I am wanting to buy an adapter for my vehicle, the kind that will allow me to use my computer in my vehicle instead of using the battery. I have a 19" Sony Vaio laptop (very big and powerful) so I am wondering what to look for? Will I need a particular voltage, or wattage, or whatever? Obviously I am not up on this sort of thing, so all help is appreciated! I just don't want to ruin my computer, or overload the outlet port, or wharever... thank you!!
