It depends on what you are going to use it for.

If you are looking for a portable gaming/multimedia/internet station sort of thing with emphasis on gaming, I would go with a laptop. Computer games generally have more depth to them as well as better graphics. The drawbacks to laptops are that you can't make calls or text with them, unless you get special software for that. Also, if you want to get an internet connection somewhere that there is no WiFi, then you would have to get an AirCard, or some other carrier's equivalent.

On the other hand, if you are always on the go and don't want to go to all the trouble of carrying around a laptop, and are going to make phone calls and text messages, then iPhone would be the way to go.

It is sort of hard for somebody who doesn't know you or what you are going to use it for to decide which is best for you.

Sony laptop computers change every year so there are always new additions to the range. The current range includes 11 different laptops, note books and tablets and is available from PC World and online at Amazon.

Dell and HP are two very good competitors.

In my opinion:

HP - Good operating system. Responsive and intuitive. Prices are reasonable. The speakers are beats by monster, so you will be getting that better sound.

Dell - Again, responsive and intuitive. Prices are good. Fairly standard designs, better for the "average user".

It's hard to say which one is better because it personal preference. If comes down to the processor, RAM, HHD (SSD) and basic interface. I hope this has helped.

Older defective laptops are restored and repaired parts that aren't working properly are replaced. And they are conditioned in such a way that it's just like a new laptop with all parts functioning perfectly. Typically, refurbished laptops are sold at a significant discount. You can buy and sell refurbished laptops and more used gadgets from Budli.in. Visit our website to know more..

It works just the same as a MacBook Pro, only it was designed for the home user; thus the smaller screen and lower speeds than the MacBook Pro which was designed for businesses. You could say that it's an iMac but only portable.

In essence, a MacBook is a laptop designed and made by Apple Inc.

Yes, it puts the laptop in a kind of sleep mode so that when you open the laptop back up (some laptops require for you to hit the power button) it will take a few seconds to resume and you basically start back where you left off.

The Dell Inspiron Model 531 does not include an integrated microphone. It does, however, have two 3.5mm jacks for microphone input (one in front and one in rear)

The info you need should be available on your laptop maker's website. Find the make and model of your laptop and search for something like "user Guide", etc.

To some degree, yes. It is possible in the sense that you can put a motherboard in a portable case, connect it to battery power, use smaller drives, etc... The main issues in doing so are heat dissipation and the power system / power management. Heat dissipation is the ability to remove heat from the system so that it does not overheat, a greater challenge in a small case. The problem with power is first that you will probably not be able find a portable power supply that can automatically switch from AC power to batteries. Even if you do, monitoring it may not be handled transparently by the operating system (ie a battery icon in the system tray), requiring additional software.

It depends on the cable!

If it's a standard LAN/Ethernet/RJ-45/'Giant Phone Cord', it plugs into (usually) the only port on the computer's back that will fit!

If the cable is a phone cable, and you use dialup, you will need a modem. Most computers don't have modems in them anymore, because dialup was officially retired in 2004, and exists now for legacy reasons only. Dialup is not intended for normal internet usage.

If you have DSL and it's a phone cable, you'll need a DSL modem. This should have been provided by your ISP.

If it's a large round cable with a single pointy end (a coaxial cable), then you will need a cable modem. This should have been provided provided by your ISP.

If it doesn't look like anything I described? You need to contact your ISP.

The mass of a standard laptop is about 4kgs.

TFT monitors are smaller sized therefore consume less space. There is less glare produced and radiation is much less compared to CRT Monitors.

The State of Illinois does not have a sales tax exemption for clothing, which includes footware. The State of Illinois only has a lower sales tax of about 2% on food and medicine. Cola, candy, ice teas, and fruit drinks are NOT considered to be food. However, candy that has flour in it, like Butterfinger and Kit Kat ARE considered to be food, thus getting the lower tax. Everything that is not food or medicine is taxed at the higher 7.75%, which may be a little higher or lower depending on local sales taxes.

Not quite sure what you asking, buy if your looking to run Windows XP on your MacBook purchase a copy of Parallels 3.0 for Mac, or VMWare Fusion. For a full tutorial, go to http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=windows

If it's got an inbuilt webcam, it should also come with software pre-installed. My Compaq laptop has a webcam and a programme called Cyberlink YouCam, which I had to look for in the list of programmes. When the programme is opened, the webcam switches on (a little light lights up next to it) and... there's me on the screen, looking older and fatter than I ever imagined. Webcams are not flattering.

Also, if you've got a big enough hard drive and you want to try installing Ubuntu Linux for free, (you could try it by installing Ubuntu using WUBI - Windows Ubuntu Installer - as a Windows application) then free software can be downloaded to use your webcam in Ubuntu).

No, a cable modem cannot be used for an ADSL connection. Cable modems are designed to work with cable internet services, which use coaxial cables, while ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) requires a DSL modem that connects via telephone lines. Each type of modem is specifically engineered for its respective technology, making them incompatible with each other.

The battery should last about 3000 charges.

You shouldn't need the usb. Look under wireless networks and find your network and connect. Make sure your wireless is turned on. Some laptops have switch on the side or front and you need to switch it on.

The Ethernet port is usually the largest socket on the computer (about twice the height of the others). You run your Ethernet cable from the computers Ethernet socket to a similar socket on a device called a Router. The Router is connected to your telephone line or cable TV or however you have chosen to connect to the Internet. You will need to have set up an account and pay for the Internet connection with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who is often your telephone or cable TV supplier. The ISP will often include the Router as part of the connection package. Computers (particularly laptops) will usually have built-in wireless connectivity, for example all recent Macs come with AirPort, which will connect to a wireless router without the need for a an Ethernet cable. This means that a laptop can be used anywhere within the range of the router. the ethernet cable connects you to lan

You can keep answering a bunch of random passwords. (and if you own the laptop, and you forgot your password, you can make a new one.) or if you know the person who owns the laptop, ask them what the password is.

If what you are asking is can you take a picture of you screen then the answer is yes. What needs to be done is use the print screen button (PrtSc) located in the top right corner on most keyboard setups. Then take it into windows paint. All Microsoft come with this basic photo editor program you can find it ...... start menu/ all programs/ accessories/ paint. Once open just put the courser over the blank area of the story board right click and past or use (Ctrl+v) for the short cut. Save as file format of you choice. I would sagest JPG. or PNG giff is good also. Hope this helps....

You buy one from microsoft. They are either custom made buy someone or you have to make it your self. Hope this helps
