K so heres my situation. I have $2000 at my disposal to buy a computer . I am going to grade 11 next year and there is only one active computer in the house. I share it with my brother and my father who use it constantly. I was looking into buying an Apple laptop, preferably a Macbook for $1907.85 Canadian. It's small, its fast, it would suit my needs.

Then I started looking into building custom desktop computers which are really cheap to do these days. I could built an
Intel core 2 duo at 2.4 ghz with 2 gigs of DDR2 ram at 667mhz with an 8800gts graphics card at 320mb for $1000. The case/ dvd burners etc I already have so basically thats all I need to upgrade to game on. I have an xbox 360 but I still prefer computer gaming. Should I invest my money in my old computer, which means in the end there will still be only one computer in the house, but it would be a great one, then spending double the money on a lesser speced laptop with a great OS. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way i can send my laptop back to dell and they change the case? I want a new color anyway. Is there anyway at all to get the case changed?

The laptop is an hp omnibook xe4500 and was connected to the power supply so the battery was not the problem, i also highly doubt it was a virus or anything of the sort as i run 3 antivirus programs whenever im on my laptop.

this problem first started a week ago. turned on the thing and it booted up fine to the log in screen. started to type the pwd and the screen went white, nothing would work, just a power light and a fan and dvd. but nothing else working;(
held power button for 10sec to turn off and tryed to boot again and the power light etc start to work but the screen stays blank no even a bios screen.. leave it a day and it'll swich on again only to do the same at some random point, i've got as far as being connected to the internet for it to white out.. and some times it get partway though booting to do the same.. i'm thinking it maybe the power supply/distro.i'm not that well versed with slaptops so unsure. battery seems fine and it even has this problem if connected direct to the charger. i haven't installed anything recently to cause this, and i'm fully firewalled/virus scannered. avast virus and fullytested at grp.com
any ideas will be greatfully received..

Hey, anyone know if it will be express/34 or express/54 ? Also if the graphics power will be in addition to what you already have built in to your laptop (I have like an oldish 256 radeon on a Macbook Pro) or if all the gpu you will get is what is built in to the station? Thanks!

I need a laptop with a built-in serial port. I will be working in DOS, so PCMCIA serial cards and USB serial converters are out of the question - the port needs to be recognizable in the BIOS. I know most new laptops don't come with serial ports, but I'd like something newer for reliability's sake. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I need a laptop for college, one that is reliable. I want something really light, as inexpensive as possible, with the best type of processor, amt of hard drive, etc.
But the most important part is that the computer is light (around 4lbs).

I'm looking for a new laptop for school and I'm pretty much leaning towards an HP right now, possibly a dell. I need some expertise here--I want something that has long battery life, is fairly light, and of course, sleek-looking. I don't want one of the humongo widescreens or anything, just something simple and easy to carry around.

My laptop crapped out and I had an older one available so I swapped the HD (the old one just needed an HD and the HDs are compatible) I tried to boot it but it only has a blinking cursor. It is visible in the bios, etc. And I've used Knoppix to access the files so the HD is still okay.
I did not format the HD but I did reinstall Windows. The blinking cursor still appears. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am lokking for a laptop for college and I don't know exactly where to start. I a have a dell desktop, but I don't like dell beacuse of bad customer service. I will like something that is easy to use and something where everything is already included. I will most like use it for entertainment uses but, I will also need it for surfing the web and essays and stuff.
