Laptops

Most laptops do not come with cases. You usually have to purchase the case as an accessory.

It is possible for apartments facing north to obstruct satellite signals. Any dwelling to the north of the apartment building might have their satellite signal obstructed if the building is very tall.

Take the macbook pro 18 inch... its got a 8 hr battery back up and ample ram an a large HDD. apple also gives students a discount to puchase any of their computers.. make use of this benefit too

Yes, some Laptops have VGA or HDMI outputs to connect to the tv.

Yes, as long as the indicator is on, it is consuming wattage in small increments. No harm no foul on the battery or electric bill, but if it is a 3+ year old laptop, you should let the battery discharge to almost 0% for longevity.

If you ordered it, installed it, or requested it prior to purchase, you have it. If you have stolen someones laptop and you are trying to findout if authorities are going to lock you up... you'll never know until they knock on your door... BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING ... lol

Just like Windows you have to get either a free or commercial virus/malware program and install it. There aren't any virus problems YET, but there are getting to be a few malware, etc., out there for the Mac so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a remover.

If you don't really browse unknown web sites and have a lot of people e-mailing you "funny pictures" and such then you should be fine, just use common sense.

You can buy a laptops online at a variety of websites. The best idea is to go to the manufacturers website such as Dell or HP and build your laptop there. You can also check eBay for cheaper prices.

If you are using Windows 7 (And most likely windows Vista, too) you can use the built-in Speech Recognition feature. This is only available in English, I think.

There are also some non-microsoft programs that enable speech recognition. (You'll be able to find them simply by using any search engine)

yes we are

think about what computers are used in, to think of that u have to go back to the very definition of computers, and device that computes or can function independently dependent on I/O devices

examples: cars, cars computer regulate the air fuel mix in cars the also control the radio sat nav various sensors basically any car from 1992 onwards has a computer take it away an we have lost fuel injection.

calculators, from basic 1+1 calculators to advances Texas Instruments graphing calculators, without computers calculators would be just abacuses and beads

electronic traffic lights, without computers traffic lights would not function at all red yellow green, there would be nothing

routers / hubs / switches / WI-FI access points, all these would not function, the internet would not exist even if we had computers if the routers were taken away there would be no internet.

modern stereo systems, all hi-fi systems over $150 are computer controlled, without computers stereos would be limited to about 30 watts :(

DO YOU GET THE POINT

there would be no life without computers we try to say we control machines not the other way round, but in reality its the computers that have the power.

what is going to happen when the computers/robots become self aware and be able to learn and make decisions for themselves

By it's strictest definition, laptops are not "elastic" because they cannot be stretched. In a broader sense, laptops are relatively inelastic because they lack the ability to be upgraded robustly.

There is only one way to safely reboot. Close all of your programs and click on the shut-off or restart button on your PC. What people do not realize is there are 20 or 30 programs running in the background and if you just hit the power off button without shutting down your PC those files can get corrupted and cause problems.

For the best configuration at this price Dell is recommended as it also has good quality. If you go for VAIO it will have very minimal configuration. But it will have much quality than Dell. If you go for Toshiba the price starts from 360 pounds.

Go into device manger and see if it is seeing thel camera, and if not reinstall the driver from the dell website.

To reinstall Skype, go back to their download page and repeat the process.

No, you cant.

While laptops often have ways to output video via VGA or S-video ports, they lack a way to input video.

Edit-

The real answer is "It depends"

I can use my laptop as a monitor-- It has a HDMI port on it. Actaully, I practice this quite frequently. Laptops with a legacy s-video or a HDMI port have the capability of being used in the manner, but sometimes the hardware doesn't support it. You're on your own for this one.

Desktop motherboards all conform to one of several standard form factors, such as ATX, microATX, NLX, or mini-ITX. The motherboards in laptops, however, all have different sizes and are custom fitted for the laptop chassis. Laptop motherboards do not typically provide the number of expansion slots found in desktop motherboards.

HP, Apple, and Toshiba sometimes offer free laptops in the fall to get college students to try their products. It is a maketing tool that has become very effective at advertising the product to the masses of students. However, there are a few places that advertise "free laptops" and they aren't free, so be careful with information on websites.

All you have to do is make sure the battery is correctly positioned inside the laptop, turn the laptop on and plug it in. Mine charges when it's turned off also, but not all laptops have this feature.

If your battery no longer charges or does not hold its charge, it might be worn out. Contact the manufacturer of your computer to buy a replacement.
