How much is a new computer?

That depends on what you need. A new computer can range from $300 to somewhere exceeding $3,000.

A desktop or a laptop because laptops are portable does not mean they have the same computing capabilites as a desktop would. Desktops are a very good choice for usage at home but a laptop is better for if you are a person on the go. Try visiting some computer manufacturer websites. Hope this helped!

I want to buy a cell phone on eBay but I don't know if it will work with my service provider Cellular One so how will I know if it will work when I receive my cell phone?

Most modern cell phones will work on most any network. The best way to find out is to ask a representative of your service provider.

The young men and women who staff the phone centers, and the ones who are just a phone call away are trained to answer questions like this. Remember that as a service customer, they work for you, and they should immediately step up and help. Certainly they'd prefer to sell you a phone - it's their job. But they are also obligated to assist and help you (with a smile!) find out about connectivity of another phone to their (your!) service. Lots of people bring a phone to their current service provider and get it "hooked up". This is done best by going to a phone center where they can scan the phone and make all the connections via the computer tied to their network server.

Take a model number of a phone you are considering and call your provider and just ask them if it's "connectable" to their (your) service. You should be able to get immediate answers.

You will need to call the call center and ask them for the specifics...obviously the phone you purchase from eBay will have to be unlocked and accept a SIM card...but it will also have to have a specific bandwidth in order for the phone to work where you are at specifically.... make sure you ask what bandwidth the phone will need to have

Is it safe to buy dogs online?

Be very careful about buying any dog anywhere. Investigate to make sure the dog doesn't come from a puppy mill. Check out who you are buying from as much as you can. If you want a pure bred make sure it comes from a reputable breeder. You might want to consider getting a 'pup' from a no-kill facility that needs a home instead of having breeders making more dogs. If the person you are buying from checks out, you are pretty safe getting your pooch...but you should get a return policy in case the pup doesn't work out with your situation.

Can a bank statement be a proof of purchase instead of a receipt?

What is an outdated computer worth?

The question here is very vague. An outdated computer could be a computer that you could buy today... However I assume this question is targeted towards a computer that is a few years old in which case the value of the computer is based off of the hardware. Generally if you paid a few thousand dollars for the unit 5 years ago it may have some worth but not to much as you can buy a new computer for 200-300 dollars. But once again without the hardware makeup it is hard to say its actual worth.

As technology continues to advance at such a rapid rate. Most computers are generally outdated in a matter of 3 years. After 3 years, your computer is worth zero to most resellers or buyers. Your best option is to take it to electronics recycling place and recoup $5-$20 depending on how much you are recycling. Or try to sell any individual components or upgrades that may still hold some value.

What is a better buy for a student on a budget looking for good sound quality memory and office and word programs the Compaq Presario M200z or Dell Inspirion 2200 notebook?

Personaly I have always found buying a desktop computer the best way to go. You can upgrade them when you get the chash later and if something breaks down and needs to be replaced. You don't have to send things away. Most Dells are made with refurbished parts to keep down prices and I have had bad luck with Compaq in the past. Try getting a quote or 2 from a local computer shop. They can built you a computer for EXACTLY what you need at your bottom price. In many cases they will even repair free of charge if something goes wrong and it wasn't even their fault. Make sure you get a warrenty.
