Laptops & Notebooks - August 2007

In terms of price, portability, and internals, I want to buy a macbook 13''. However, I am concerned with the size of the screen. Currently I have a 15'' screen. Would 13' be too small? Would the size get on my nerves eventually?

I'm trying to decide between a laptop with a 120GB hard drive and a similar laptop with a 160GB hard drive. The first is $100 less expensive than the second.

Are 40GB worth the extra money?

I have windows vista preinstalled on this new new laptop that I bought. There were no cd's included with the laptop because everything is inside the invisible hard disk partition, including the installer of all drivers.

Now I am planning to install a secondary OS (Windows XP SP2) for dual OS/dual booting. I was done doing research on how to install Windows XP with Windows Vista preinstalled on my system. I was wondering if it is possible for me to do it provided that the installers of all the drivers (soundcard, videocard, modem, etc) for my system are all inside my invisible partition and not in a cd.

In particular would I be able to install those drivers in the newly installed Windows XP?

P.S. I dont have any experience reformating and installing OS yet.

Anyone shares the same experience with me? Or anyone can help?

Any help from anyone will be much highly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok so ive had my laptop for 6 months

and i set it so when i close the lid nothing will happen

this morning i closed it and it was fine

later in the morning i closed it again and when i opened it again a blue screen came up saying something (so sorry i cant remember what it said, but i no it was something bad) so i had to hold the off button to trun it off

later i turned it back on and with out thinking of it i closed the lid again went away and when i come bakc to open it it was on a black screen and nothing would happen, but the laptop was still on

ive never had a problem with the laptop before, and i really hope its not broke as my parents brought it for me.

Has anyone had the same problem with there laptop and if so how did u fix it?

Does anyone know how to fix it or make it back to normal again?

I dont want to shut the lid again, to see what happens because i dont want it to break!

Please Please Please Help!!!

I want to install it on my own. I know the HDD itself is quite inexpensive, but I am afraid that the people who fix it for me might charge a bomb.

I want to change my 40 GB HDD to 80 GB HDD. Most probably I'll get Maxtor/ Seagate or Western Digital.

I want an external hard drive for use with my laptop. I will rarely access the hard drive and it wont be connected to my laptop. Does the hard drive need a constant power source, or can i just plug it in, transfer files and then leave it switched off in a cupboard somewhere safely?

I'm not looking for anything too big. A fairly small laptop would be nice, but will be willing to buy a big one if worse comes to worse.

I am a student and am thinking of getting a laptop. 1st priority is price, 2nd priority is weight - I do a lot of moving, and 3rd priority is monitor size - I want something that can be open in a lecture hall if needs be. I don't care about DVD's or burning CD's but would like to listen to music, and if possible - write on the screen like a piece of paper for my chemistry classes. I also don't care about being able to play games.

When I search on my own, I don't know the lingo, so if you have any suggestions with a specific model number that worked great for you, please provide so I can look up your identical laptop. That would be the most helpful.

I just don't know what to get! Or how much I really have to pay! Or what "accessories" I really need! Any info would be appreciated!

But When I bought my old laptop it was very expensive becuase i made sure i upgraded the ram upto 512 MB for the computer to last for a very long time! And i bought it back in January of 1999 and due to customizing my computer to be fast for a very long time it cost me $5,600 dollars. Back then most laptops were still build with only floppy disk drives and my laptop doesn't have cd rom!

I remember that i can install windows 98 through 6 floppy disks! is there a website that let's me download windows XP and extracted to bottable floppy disks to install windows xp!!! I HEARD IT DOES EXIST BUT I HAVE DIFICULTY FINDING IT!!!

Ofcourse I know that this windows will not be completely full as other windows XP's in General!!! But It will only be Minimally full
just with Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and probebly just My Documents Folder! And then all I am supposed to do is simply download Service Pack 2 to completely Fully update this windows XP! PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!
