Which laptop is better dell 5521 or sony E15137CN?
This Dell model was made with many different processors and configurations. For that reason it is impossible to say which is best without knowing the exact specs of each computer. Saying all this I would not recommend either one as they are both not that reliable. The most reliable laptop is the Apple MacBook Pro. The most reliable Windows laptops are Toshiba and Acer. The MacBook Pro is far and away a superior machine albeit a little pricey. You also will not have to worry about getting a virus on a Mac if you use common sense. You can run Windows on a MacBook Pro by using the builtin program Bootcamp. So it depends on what you want to spend. If you want an inexpensive laptop the get a Toshiba or Acer. If you want the best get an Apple MacBook Pro.

Dell is not a type of computer. Dell is a company name like Apple, HP, Lenovo, Acer and others which make Laptop or PCs. If you wanted to know how good are Dell Laptop or PCs, I must say they are considered as good company.
The Core i7-940XM is still a decent processor as is the Quadro FX 1800M graphics chipset. However, this machine is not going to be wonderful if your intention is for gaming. The Core i7 is four years old and shows its age when compared to the newer Core i7 CPUs that have been released since its reaching the market and the Quadro line of nVidia products has never been intended for gaming, instead being targeted at professional workstations designed for accelerating CAD and digital media development. The nVidia GeForce family is what you want if your intent is to play games with this laptop.
If you want to give your machine any sort of boost, you might check the performance of the Samsung SSD that came with the machine and see whether it is slowing down with age and wear (as SSDs do wear out, in case you didn't know) and swap out or add more RAM if appropriate. The machine came with only 8GB of DDR3-1333 and the motherboard can handle up to two sticks of 8GB DDR3-1600. (Yes, once again Dell cut corners by slowing down the machine by stuffing in slower RAM and still selling at a premium price. This is one of the multitude of reasons that I never recommend Dell.)
Beyond that, there is little that can be done to upgrade it since it is a laptop. The best option for improved performance for gaming would be to get a new machine from HP, Lenovo, or Gigabyte. Brands that I recommend avoiding are Dell (as already mentioned), Alienware (owned by Dell and their quality has diminished since the buy-out several years ago), Gateway/eMachines, and PowerSpec (MicroCenter's house brand). Gigabyte has a very good line of gaming rigs and they can be ordered custom-made through http://www.xoticpc.comif you wish to do so.
How do you download the Amazon instant video to your PC?
Amazon says that you need broadband to download. See the related link on downloading for more information.
First of all, you need to buy your laptop a wireless internet card. any will do.. as long as it's made for laptops.. Once you do that, you need to get a broadband connection.. if the broadband connection you get already comes with a modem wich casts a wireless signal, you're good to go, all you would need to do is install the wireless card in you pc. If your broadband modem does not cast a wireless signal THEN you would need to buy a router wich casts a wireless signal and connect the router to your broadband modem. And that's it

How do you get admin user on dell laptop?
Regardless of what the brand, the easiest way to gain access to the administrator account in Windows is to reboot the computer and hold the F8 button during the reboot.
When you see a meny appearing prompting you to choose a boot-up method you choose SAFE MODE and wait. When you get to the Welcome Login screen in windows you should have the option to log on as Administrator. If you are lucky that account will be unlocked.
My dell laptops start menu and desktop icons have disappeared?
You have a virus. It can be easily solved (temporarily) by Going to Task MAnager (Ctrl+Alt+Shift) and under the "Applications" tab go to "new task" and type in "explorer.exe" (without the "). IM not sure if these steps are correct for your laptop. Note: this doesnt get rid of the virus!!!!!!!!!!

When I plug in my ipod, it'll charge but won't recognize it. All of the usb ports are up to date in software and I don't have the money to take it somewhere and get it fixed.
