How do you convince your parents to let you get a laptop when im 9 years old and already have a dell that works fine?

Why do you need with a new laptop when you already have a working computer? It seems you are in that certain phase in life where you want everything and don't care how much they cost. I mean, what do you do on a computer at 9 years old other than play small games that don't take up much time? Of course, I have no idea what you do on the computer and if you have any good reasons for wanting a laptop, so I am offering you a few simple solutions.

1. You can tell them about the EEE PC. The computers are fairly (really) cheep, and come in extremely portable and small 7 in models. Plus they're not made by Dell.

2. If your parents bring up the argument of already having a computer, tell them that Dell makes bad computers and it will break in about a month and when you call customer support, your call is forwarded to cheap labor in India where you will have to wait 2 hours to get no help at all.

3. Install Linux on the desktop and you have a brand new and much better computer.

4. Save up your own money and buy your own computer instead of leeching precious money off your parents in the current state of the economy. You need to learn to work hard to get what you want. You can't live off your parents forever.

5. Live with what you have.

6. Create your own computer like Steve Wozniak.

The 6 examples above are hard. ;) This ONE and only worked for me! :D

1. BEG YOUR PARENTS UNTIL THEY GIVE IN! Ha, ha, worked for me. ;)

Which laptop is best for an incoming high school freshman MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?

It all depends on what you need it for.

If most of what your doing is taking notes, web browsing, word proccessing, etc, then the MacBook Air should be fine.

If your an enginering student, doing HD video editing or other heavy processer work then the MacBook Pro would be better for the long run.

With the newer Apple laptops you will need to max out the ram as you won't be able to upgrade later as the ram is permanently install.

What is advantages and disadvantages of Distributed System?

Cluster systems are ultimately a brilliant discovery to the world of programming. The advantages are network unity, and the capability of managing work from different locations. They are cost effective, they are flexible. The disadvantage is all computers connected are easily effected by one malfunction. Since there is data sharing involved, it may make it easier to breech security efforts from one information system to the other.

Can you find a laptop at Walmart for under 200?

If you find a laptop at Walmart for under $200, its not going to be too good, my advice, if you're on a budget, try shopping online, whether on computer manufacturer's websites (they often offer special discounts for online purchases) or on used product websites like eBay or amazon.

But you need to have done your "homework" about what you need in the way of a computer.

Also with shopping online comes the added cost of shipping, so unless there is free shipping you could find a better deal at your local computer store. Plus you have the added feature of having your questions about the computer answered in "real time".

Buying locally puts your dollars into the local economy and not into some out of state computer giant.

My laptop won't switch on when I press the power button?

How do you re boot a frozen laptop?

The safest shut down method for a Windows Operating System (OS) is to press down the ALT and CTRL keys at the same time and hold down and press DEL. This safely allows the computer's OS to determine how to close any open or frozen programs and how to free up resources to allow other programs to shut down safely.

HOWEVER, on really bad freezes you may need to resort to pressing in the power button and releasing it to shut down the computer. Always try ALT+CTRL plus DEL first and give the computer a couple minutes to try to fix itself.

After a major crash, you may get a warning from Windows. You may need to do some simple maintenance to clean up the computer, such as:

  • run Anti-virus program
  • run anti-malware program
  • run Scan Disk
  • run Defrag

If you have a virus, don't run the other fixes until you get rid of the virus.
