If you watch a DVD on your laptop do you use up memory space?

Your computer will load some of the disc into the RAM in order to play the DVD without stuttering. this is perfectly normal. The computer should not be putting much data onto the hard drive when you watch a movie, and the only reason that I can think of that it would be putting data onto the hard drive would be the page file.

I can connect to wifi using other modems but cant connect to my own modem on my laptop any help?

Hmmm. So what you are saying is you can go into a restaurant or free wireless area and connect OK but you can't connect to your home router?

The usual reason you can't connect to a modem/router is the password is not right. It has to be exact.

Another reason is you may have the modem/router set to use only N speed and your computer is only rated at G so it can't connect. Make sure the Modem/Router is set for ALL speeds.

Make sure the Security mode is the same on both devices, WPA2 on the modem/router has to be WPA2 on the computer. Some devices won't connect with TKIP or AES try one then the other.

Sometimes even the channel your on can make a difference if you don't have it the same on both of them. Try putting the Modem/router channel selector on auto if you have it.

Make sure your computer is trying to connect to yournetwork and not your neighbors by mistake.

How To Identify Good Laptop?

There are many laptops out there and each is unique. There is no laptop that is perfect for everybody. Everyone has their ideal laptop. Such factors include usage, application requirements and budget. Here are my steps to getting that dream laptop:

1: Budget. That should always the first thing to consider. No use looking at the $2500 laptops when you only have $500 to spend. Once you have put together a budget, move on to the next step.

2: Required features. I do a small amount of work on graphics plus play games so i checked out the computers with good graphics. I watch movies on my laptop so I bought one with a large screen and inbuilt theatre features such as viritual surround sound, TUBE bass and multimedia buttons. These are examples of required features. Do you intend to do a lot of DVD burning on your laptop? Then buy one with a fast DVD burner.

3: Battery. This is one very big feature that needs its own step to ensure you make the right choice. Do you use your laptop as a desktop replacement? Then it is ok to get a laptop with a shorter battery span. Do you use your laptop for long periods without plugging into the power? Then it is a wise choice to buy a laptop with a large battery while sacrificing on the extra features you don't need.

Oh and it is also worth noting that some laptops have inbuilt battery saving software where you can easily change the screen brightness, the CPU speed, Graphics speed, ect. These should help influence your decision.

4: Durability. Some laptops are soft and very breakable (Probably the most common). Some laptops are built to withstand liquids on the keyboard, sand, small drops and can run on higher altitudes than others. Also, some laptops may have a longer or shorter lifespan.

5: Extra features. There may be extra features that can be a good thing to have in a computer. Some are just going to slow down your computer. While you can just simply make them vanish from your startup registry, it is probably better to not get it in the first place because you are basically paying for the software and features you aren't gonna use.

6: Warranty, Support and Help. Warranty is pretty obvious. If you are worried the computer will break, extend the warranty. I did it and it actually payed off after my graphics gave way to a small fault (no i did not overclock). The best bit is, it was outside of the normal warranty so I actually got good results from the warranty. However, Don't put too much warranty!!! I once put heaps of years into my iPod and it never broke. For support and help, you should know where to ask and where to go when you have an answer.

7: Freebies. Sometimes, you get freebies such as "free 2gb extra ram". However, there can be some catches to it...

8: Appearance. If you are the kind of person who hates a certain colour, it might not be a good idea to grab a computer of that colour... Also, some computers can have options to change colour/appearance. It is always nice to have a computer that looks as good as it works :D

9: Other stores. Check other stores if they have the same or similar laptop for better value. That's how I got my laptop. It's worth that extra mile if you are gonna save money. in my case, $200.

Just one more thing, You should look out for those "cashback" offers. Be as sure as possible that you will receive the cashback AND post the cashback requests ASAP. This way, there is no real reason that the company won't give you the money they promised. Although, sometimes the mail can be a bit slow and that might infact be the reason of you missing the due-date of the cashback.

Can you bring laptops on planes?

Generally speaking, yes. You will probably have to turn the laptop on at the security check point in the airport so that security can verify that it's really a laptop and not, say, 5 pounds of C-4 shaped like a laptop. Note that you will be told to turn off "all electronic devices" ... which includes laptops ... at certain times during the flight (normally a few minutes before takeoff and landing).

Your hp laptop will not stay on it comes on and turns right back off?

This could be a number of things, here's some stuff to think about.

This is most often caused by a loose RAM stick. Laptops get banged around a lot in the normal course of things and if they get banged in just the right way its possible to jar one of the RAM sticks loose. A computer without RAM (or with unseated RAM) will exhibit the exact symptoms you describe. With the machine unplugged and battery removed, open up the RAM access panel (usually a small square panel on the bottom held on by 2 screws) remove the RAM and re-install it.

Try starting it in a variety of power configurations. Does it work okay when its running on battery power? plugged in? If not, howabout if the battery is removed? If the battery has gone kaput, the system may boot fine as long as the battery is out, but not work at all with the battery in. If the power supply has gone wonky, the system may boot fine on battery power, but not when plugged in.

Additionally, if the hard disk has died in a major way it could conceivably cause what you're describing. To check whether this is the case, you can remove the hard disk (this may or may not be trivial to do, depending on your make & model) and trying to boot the machine. If it comes on and gives an error message about the missing hard disk, then you'll know that that was probably your problem.
