Laptops & Notebooks - September 2007

Ok I was looking to buy a desktop but then I decided to buy a laptop instead. I just need your opinion if this laptop is good.

Is this a average laptop?
I know it says ram is not upgradeable but it is I read the customer reviews and it says it is upgradeable and is the ram good?
How good is the prcessor?
Is the hardrive good enough to watch movies?
How good is the video card?
Will I only need a router or I'll need additional stuff?
What softwares are there that I need?
Would you buy if you were 15 and didn't have a lot of money?
Other things I need to know?

Heres the link http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=999976800050001&type=product&id=pcmprd76700050001

I know it is sold out but I'll get it when they get more. I'm only going to use it for web browser, word processing, downloading and burning movies.

P.S. I'm not really a noob just want your opinions because I never had a laptop.

Is there a way to upgrade it? And if I don't want to do it myself is there a place where I can get it done plus a little repair.

I live in the San Francisco area, but I live in Davis for most of the year because I attend UC Davis. So any of these 2 places, thanks.

i have Compaq C563TU laptop and want to connect it to my TV so that I could use the TV as a display unit (monitor). The laptop has a 7 pin S-Video port so i bought a 7 pin S-Video converter and plugged it to the port.. But when I connected the video (RCA) jack to the TV and the other end to the converter and switched the TV to Video input there was no display!! sad.gif

What do I do? Did I miss anything??

My housemate's laptop DVD player won't let her change the region that it's set to anymore; after 5 changes, that's it. She has traveled a lot and made those changes, but now she's stuck with a DVD player that won't play any more disks. It doesn't look like there's anything that can be done about this. Why are they made with such a stupid restriction?

1.73 gigahertz Intel Core Duo
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
118.46 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
65.06 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space

since i got no JOB! I want to buy a cheap laptop, I can afford to get a 2.4 GH and a 2 G Ram with Built-in NVIDIA Geforce Go 8400M-G 256MB Supports up to 1GB Turbo Cache Technology Video,
will this be able to play OBLIVION, BIOSHOCK, and any other games with Oblivion graphics? , i dont want to buy a laptop that i will regret. Of course I can get a 3.0 Gh with good ram if its a PC, but i prefer a laptop so i can show my homework to my F.A.U teacher (MAYA 8) and bring it anywhere.
thanksl for the best answers.

I currently use a laptop, and have had it for around 3 years now, and is a brick to carry around. I am considering getting a lightweight laptop for travelling, and keep this laptop permanently in my room, but it is having serious issues and is getting rather slow.
I would really like to know the pros and cons of laptop to computer, and what you think is best for an architecture course, and any spec information to guide me when I make my decision. I'm going to buy it in October, so am gathering ideas now... any help is greatly appreciated!
