Is quad core 2.2 GHZ sufficient for gaming?

yes....but as far as I am aware, very few games will utilse more than ONE core and as such you'll get better results with a dual core with higher clock speeds, also they are cheaper.

Saying that its far more important to spend as_much_as_you_can_afford on a good GPU as this will have a much bigger impact on your gaming performance. (graphics processing unit)

if you're building from scratch make sure you get a motherboard with a decent Front Side Bus and a Power Supply Unit that will be able to power it all.

How you know that it is notebook or netbook?

A netbook is kind of like a mini laptop. There are new laptops coming out as a new brand known as Acer. Acer netbooks have 7-9 inches diagonally across the monitor screen. To give you a hint of what that is like a Macbook Pro can have 13-17 inches diagonally across the monitor screen. Oftentimes, a netbook will have up to 2 USB ports (the Mac Mini I'm using to type this has 4) and no CD slot. Now, a notebook is ridiculously primitive. A notebook is useful as a portable database, a word processor, and maybe for a game or 2 of chess or checkers in black and white. That's about it. It doesn't even have internet. Nowadays, netbooks are all the rage. They're ultra-portable and cost less than $400 (and just to give a hint about that, the average Macbook Pro costs $1300). And to let you know, notebooks aren't made anymore because they don't have wireless or wired internet.

I am using Intel Atom based Netbook, which is thinner more portable and also it's a lightweight and easy to take anywhere you can enjoy reading EBooks, playing games and many other work that is associated with your nature of job.

Can you play sentence on a netbook?

I'm pretty sure you can play World of Warcraft on any device that has internet connection and the memory space to download it, I'd be careful though because WoW is a HUGE download and may overload your netbook.

Which is better a Mac Dell or Hp?

Here are some basic summaries for you to choose from because it depends on what you plan on using it for:

Mac: Easy to use slideshow software, music maker, cool little widgets that do random things, great for multiple users, lots of day to day apps, daily items like calendars and address books, easy to use software

Dell: More reliable than HP, uses all of the basic PC apps and much more, very good workhorse computer for big files and complicated tasks, great for long and hard usage,

HP: same as Dell except less reliable in working properly
Overall, my personal opinion is a Dell. If you are more into artsy programs, go with the Mac, and if you don't like Dells, go with HP's.

Another Opinion:


Dells always break, so Macs are much better.



Customer satisfaction:

As a guide to "better"ness the satisfaction of existing customers could be a useful measure.


At the beginning of 2009 out of 113 companies


Apple was 23rd


HP and Compaq were 72nd


and Dell was down at 93rd position.

An HP is probably the best choice of computers that you could possibly choose, since software is generally made for the PC, and not the Mac. The HPs are more reliable than Dell, and PCs are compatible with pretty much every software, so you won't have to worry about software compatability when you choose the HP.

Can an eleven year old wear contacts?

yes You can but it really depends on your eye doctor. Usually you have to wear glasses for at least a year again thugh that depends on the doctor.

Besides its nice display and screen. How good is Mac book pro compared to PCs?

Personally, I like PCs much more than any mac because of the fast that they have so many things you can do more with them, like gaming and other demanding programs that any computer made by apple can not run. Also, for the price you would be paying for a MacBook Pro, you could buy a PC with a much faster processor, more RAM, a bigger hard drive, and the list goes on. The only thing that Mac beats PC in is their operating system is very smooth and there are few viruses you can get on a Mac. It really does come down to the preference though, because I personally love Windows 8, and I'm not a huge fan of any of apples operating systems or products at all. So my advice to anyone who reads this is most definitely get a PC.
