Laptops & Notebooks - August 2007

But even though it says that its a 2.0 usb it doesn't work for 2.0 drives like my ipod. When ever I plug my ipod it says "This device can preform faster...click this to see 2.0 ports" So I do and it gives me a list of ports that are hi-speed and 2.0 but the thing is that where can I go or what do I do to plug it into those ports they are showing me because I only have 3 USB ports on my Vaio and all of them are set to the same speed (1.0-1.1). So what can I do so I can have my USB ports a 2.0? Also I was reading some articles and they were saying change BIOS settings to Hi-Speed instead of Full-Speed. How can I go into BIOS?

I just got this laptop and I've realized something extremely irritating..I like to watch movies, as does a lot of people..but when I watch a movie on this laptop the screen is....I don't know how to explain it, I guess the term would be too "glossy" during dark images in a movie, such as night-time scenes, the screen is too bright or glossy which makes the movie seem like complete shadows.

Instead of being crisp and clear like my desktop it's simply glossy and not very well for movies..so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to fix this problem?

Well, I managed to avoid Win95, Win98, etc, etc, but now, I can't hold back anymore. My old Commodore 64 has too many cookie crumbs in the cracks of the keyboard - so many in fact that I can't even press the keys down anymore! I'm thinking to upgrade to an Amstrad - y'know, one of them nice shiny green screen things. I hear they can make a rabbit shape on the screen, from words and things - and in only 15 minutes!! I'm not looking for advice for Windows Vista or an iMac - bloody futuristic nonesense! Scorcery it is! So if anyone has advice about upgrading me good old Commodore 64, I'd be much grateful!

I'm debating between a Toshiba or Gateway laptop. They have the following technologies:
Gateway = Intel Centrino core duo,
Toshiba = AMD turion 64 X 2 Dual core mobile technology.
Is Intel or AMD the better choice?
Here are the model numbers I am trying to decide over: A215-S4747 and MT6840. (Best Buy Flyer)
I understand the Toshiba's come with a restore disk where as the others do not. If a Gateway is purchased can a restore disk by made at home by the user? Which one would you chose and a short reason why would be appreciated. My use would be internet, email, browsing and some video work changing VHS home movies to DVD. I'll also put more RAM in it if necessary.

Is it possible to put an additional internal harddrive in a laptop just like you can have two IDE drives in a desktop. I am aware of external USB / Bluetooth /Firewire drives. They are just too slow.
Thanks,

Im looking to buy a new laptop-i like the idea of a tablet, and I love the idea of the touchscreen feature. I would like the screen to be at least around 15 inches, with high def. I need the finger scroll and touch mouse pad. Money isn't really an issue-I would like to stay under the $2500 range though. I also need to have wireless internet anywhere I go, and a long battery life. Nothing too heavy either cus I want to haul it around a lot. Webcam and the fingerprint password verification are interesting, but optional. CD/DVD burner would also be nice-but optional as well/ If anyone out there could help me and maybe make a few suggestions as to which products you think I might like-that would be absolutely great. I've been shopping around, but don't always know exactly what I'm looking at, so any help would be great. OK-thanks!

I've got a limited budget, and don't mind a little cosmetic damage (scratches/scuffs), performance is more important to me, as I'd probably just scratch a new laptop anyway.
Could anyone suggest somewhere that does cheap, refurbished laptops?
