Laptops & Notebooks - July 2007

I recently had to buy a new laptop because the LCD panel in my old one went out. A friend of mine mentioned a few ways of transfering files, such as music and pictures, from my old laptop to my new laptop. I decided to go with a Cat 5 crossover patch cable, but I'm not sure if it will actually work. And I am wondering how to go about using this cable, if in fact it will work?

here are the specs:

Genuine Windows ® Vista Home Premium Edition
Anti-glare, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800)
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8600M GT
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
80GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

I think the graphics card has turbocache so Im wondering how much main memory it will use up and whether this will negatively affect performance since it has Vista.
Any suggestions to make the game run as smoothly as possible are appreciated.

thanks in advance

I was at the apple store some times this week and realized that I could not double touch an application with the touchpad to pull and drag.

I also I could not double touch the touchpad to maximize or minimize an application. What else I can't do with a Mac?

Hi i have a macbook 1.83 ghz 512 ram and cd/burner dvd player (in other words, the first version of the white macbook). I wanted to burn some pictures onto a cd and suddenly the cd started spinning so fast it made a sound like a car going at 120mph.. Suddenly it shutdown and when i restarted it, a folder with a question mark showed up on the screen.. Obviously i think that the system brokje down.. but i inserted the OSX installation disks and the installation thing came up but NO DRIVE to install it to shows up.. u think my HD broke down?
I have the protection plan...
However, the cd always makes that noise..u think its a computer problem or a drive problem and all im gonna get is like a repair of both drives? im really pissed

I'm a photography student and I have never owned an Apple. I'll need photoshop plus other software. Is the G3 fast and powerful enough for what I need or do I have to shell out the big bucks for something bigger and faster?

Yesteryear the PCs were going from
1.9ghz to 2.0-2.4-2.6-3.0-3.4ghz.. and seemed in my eyes the speeds were climbing quick. Even in Laptops, my mate had one at 2.8ghz..[P4]...Nowdays.. i got a laptop at 1.6ghz..and the desktops are at like 2.6ghz or near there...
They seem to have slowed the speeds down and more so gone for the Cores instead, Duel core, Quad cores....etc...
Is a duel core really any better ??? r is higher speeds Better for us??
I keep getting told XP or even Vista is still programed for a Single core PC, and not quite got the goods for a Duel core, if that makes any scence to you guys..
( i know im into Tek and PC Specs, tho not to into the Really Technicals of it all :) ..)
I thought back 2yrs that todays PC would be like 5.6ghz...

cheers..

Is it possible to upgrade to a dedicated Graphics card on a Dell XPS M1210 after purchase. I have heard that it is impossible on some laptops but I have also heard that some newer laptops are becoming more upgradeable in terms of graphics cards and I was wondering if the M1210 is on of these.

Looking at buying a high performance laptop to replace my desktop. Will use external mouse, keyboard and monitor while at home. Am I going to be happy with it, or should I just keep my desktop? I've always thought laptop keypads and touchpads were useless for real work and never found their performance worth their portability. Suggestions for a durable user friendly laptop? I'm looking at Asus right now.
