Why do people get addicted to computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you complete a task successfully, (A.K.A. beating a level in a game) your brain releases dopamine, this is what gives you happy feelings.

It's addictive, so when you do something that releases it, you tend to want to do it more.

Can the sims 2 play on Dell laptops?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, the Sims 2 runs the Studio 15. The Dell Studio 15's are new enough that they meet all the minimum requirements to play Sims 2. I run it on mine along with all the expansions and stuff packs. If for some reason it is not working, it is probably due to settings.

Games are extremely graphic-intensive. They are a real workout for the processor, and it gets very hot, the heat being transferred to the case where you can feel it.

How do you connect xbox360 to laptop monitor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The easiest way is to get a video capture card for a desktop pc, or if you can find one with rca input, a laptop capture card. You can also get a modulator box that would not even require a pc, but, those can be very expensive for general quality.

An even easier way is to buy the xbox 360 vga cable which can probably be bought for about fifteen bucks and have the xbox 360 hooked up directly to the moniter. also if you have an HDMI cable(it comes with xbox360 elite), and you monitor is a newer model with an HDMI input in the back near the VGA cables from you computer and just plug it in right there.

How can you run Roblox with a laptop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, yes. However it actually depends on the laptop.

Your laptop's specifications must meet the minimum requirements as stated in the game's installation instructions or guides.
Installing games on a low-end laptop will likely cause problems such as overheating and frying the motherboard. Make sure your laptop matches the minimum specifications detailed in the game's installation guides.

Also be aware that laptops have less airflow than computers, therefore you may also want to buy a cooling rack or an elevated surface for your laptop, to increase the air flow to the fans underneath it. Games tend to cause a lot of heat and dust in laptops, which can lead to other problems, if you are not careful.


Can you hook up a mini laptop to a TV?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No easy answer. It depends on the outputs of the laptop and the inputs on your TV.

If you have a modern laptop with a HDMI output and a TV with an HDMI input, then you are all set. Converters can be bought fairly cheaply if one or the other has the older DVI output. Many TV's also have a "D-sub" or SVGA connector input. This is the older standard of computer monitor connection. It looks vaguely like a "D" (trapezoid) and has three rows of pins - up to 5 pins in each row.

If you have an old-as-hell TV with just the composite (yellow) jack or an S-video jack, it can still be done but you will need kind of a pricey converter - and it really won't look that good because the resolution of the TV is WAY less than a monitor would be. You'd have to downsize your screen resolution until it kind of looks like Windows 3.1 for it to be clear.

if your TV is pre-1990 and has only an RF input, you would need an antenna switch, a RF modulator, AND the unit in the paragraph above.

How do you connect a laptop to a monitor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Monitors receive video (picture) signals from a PC via either a VGA (or S-VGA) cable or a DVI cable. VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. VGA cables drive analog monitors, which could be the older CRT monitors or newer flat-panel displays. The VGA cable at the monitor side is often hard-wired in. At the end that will plug into the PC is a male, 15-pin "D-sub" plug. The pins are in 3 rows of 5. S-VGA is Super VGA, the current, extended version of the original VGA. VGA cables usally have black or blue connectors. DVI is Digital Visual Interface, a digital connection standard for computers and projectors. It can carry an uncompressed digital video signal, and it can actually carry an analog signal at the same time. The DVI cable usually has two male ends, which plug into identical sockets on the PC and the monitor. These plugs come in various pin configurations for different purposes but can be recognized by their two different sections: a tab, possibly surrounded by 4 pins, at one end, and the larger part with an 8 x 3 pin pattern, which may be only partially filled. DVI cables often have white connectors. Some monitors can have additional connections to the PC for other reasons. * Some monitors, flat panels in particular, offer integrated USB ports, which can be used for any USB device but which are most often used for a USB-connected keboard, mouse, or flash drive. Connecting a USB cable from this monitor to the PC extends the USB interface to the monitor. * If a monitor has built-in or attached speakers, a wire from the monitor (or its speakers) will connect to the PC's speaker port (an eighth-inch socket). You also need an A/C power cord, from the monitor to the wall power outlet.

Note: Early computers used older graphics standards called CGA and EGA. But just about any PC made since 1990 will connect to its monitor via S-VGA or DVI. Some PCs come with both ports and can use either monitor or even both at once.

Is a Toshiba Satellite S70-ABT2N22 Laptop good for minecraft?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Asus X54C-BBK7 laptop is definitely enough to play minecraft.

The minimum requirements for Minecraft as of 2012 is: (in brackets in the recommended requirements)

-Intel Pentium 1.6Ghz (3.0Ghz)

-500MB RAM (1GB)

-1 GB HDD (1 GB)

-128 Mb GPU (256 Mb)

The Asus X54C-BBK7 far exceeds the recommended specs, but keep in mind, minecraft relies heavily on RAM to help process the game. Therefore, to play smoothly, Minecraft should be able to access 1-3 GB of RAM.

The Asus laptop would have no problem though!

How do you remove harddrive sony NOTEBOOK vaio PCG-7505RX?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To remove the hard drive, flip the laptop over and remove all the screws from the bottom side. The plactic should lift off now. If it seems hard to take off, look for any more screws you might have missed. Once the back is off there is two more screws. One holding the USB ports and one at the top left of the hard drive. Drive should come out freely now. Hope this helps

Try pressing the 'Number Lock' key once to turn if off and see if it helps.

Tapping the 'Fn' key five times may also work, however the first option worked for me.

Can you use any brand computer power cord on your laptop computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, in most cases you can not do this. Most of the time the connectors are not the same anyway, but even if they are, it is still not advisable. Many laptop computers run on slightly different voltages, and some use more amps than others. If you use the wrong voltage/amp rating, you could damage your notebook. If you know for a fact that the output voltage, amps and polarity are the same, and the connector fits, then you should be OK. If in doubt, don't do it without getting some assistance from a professional.

Best Buy does sell HP laptop computers. I would recommend for first time buyers that you go into the actual store and have the salespeople explain the laptop's features to you. For experienced buyers, however, I would recommend going to some website like Newegg for better deals.

Where is model number located on ibm thinkpad laptop?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Turn your ThinkPad over, look on the bottom. There should be a sticker that has M/T and S/N on it. The "M/T" is your specific ThinkPad Model and Type. You need to know both the Model and the Type ... since many ThinkPad "models" have a dozen or so different "types" within that model family.

If there is no sticker on the bottom of the laptop chassis, or it was worn off, you can alway press F1 and bootup and go into the laptop's BIOS setup. The first screen of the BIOS setup will tell you the Model and Type.
