Laptops & Notebooks - November 2007

I'm getting laptop and thursday and I'm trying to become well rounded. In 2004 my friend bought a laptop but his battery had messed up to the point where he couldnt turn the laptop on and use the laptop. Do they sell some kind of adapter where you can still use your laptop but you have to plug it up into a socket of course without a battery?

My laptop screen is cracked and needs to be replaced. Do you know how much it will cost to just get the new screen alone? And where can I go to get it replaced? Does Best Buy or Future Shop do this kind of thing? The laptop/ hard drive itself works fine btw.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5000e lap top. I would like to up-grade my processor from a Pentium 3 to a Pentium 4. Is there more to it than just getting the chip & putting it in? Does my machine have limitations which makes this up-grade a "no-go"?
Thanks.....

Ok. So there is this laptop I want to buy at circuit city for $500 dollars, and want to give it to someone for Christmas. When does it go off sale, and would it be recommended to go buy it now, since it is such a good deal. Would you think they would sell quick?

i heard that only toshiba offers restore disc now for cmputers. All other companies dont. Is this true? If so, then geek squad at best buy offer to make a restore disc for your computer/notebook for 20 bucks. Is that worth it?
