How many GB should a laptop have?

usually its about 2 or 4 but above tht is good. im not really sure

Every laptop is different, just like every user. Business laptops typically require only 80 Gigabytes to operate a typical business and software (*ie. Accounting software). If you're a student, you would probably want around 500 Gigabytes for your personal file sharing, entertainment and games. In most cases, a typical laptop manufactured in 2011 has approximately 500 Gigabytes of storage capacity (*or more depending on the manufacturer).

I hope that helps.

How much is a sony VAIO laptop?

In a nutshell? Way, much more than they ever should! Or need to! I think Wik. P.,hit the nail right on the head when they said that they were way more 'overbuilt' than they need to be. AND because of that, I think they have also had WAY more systemic issues with failing systems, and programs, and utilities, than Sony would like to talk about. (At least imyhb) I picked up a used VGN-FS series, and it has been one thing right after another since I got it. And because of the way their systems and software and utilities are all bundled together, every thing that kicks on it turns out to be a MAJOR nightmare that ends up taking huge amounts of time to fix. First it was the sound, then the touchpad crapped out, Then, of course, I had huge probs getting the Vaio to "see" any of the peripherals I had plugged into it's handy-dandy 4 USB ports. I have a portable external floppy, and a mouse, or 2, (that I now NEEDED to have cuz of the touchpad). Of course none of them would work when plugged into the Vaio. They worked GREAT on any of the dozen or so, pc's I've used em on; took 5-10 sec's, went "bink", and worked fine! So be prepaired for long hours of re-loading drivers, and configuring utilities. And DON'T expect Sony tec support to help you out too much either. It was ALMOST more work to get tech support to pay attention, and try and get somebody who knows about this stuff. I would have to say they were about as much help as drought insurance in New Orleans. In fact, that Vaio, (that I started warmly referring to as "H.A.L.") IS still messed up.

I'm sorry, Dear, what was it you were asking now, "How much $$ is a VAIO???"..........

How long to charge dead laptop battery?

Check and see how many Ah (Amper hours) your battery is. If it is for a gas/gasoline car, then it is probably around 42 Ah; batteries for diesel are usually around 72 Ah. Check the power of your battery charger. It should be something between 4-6 A. You must divide the battery capacity by the charger strength to get the time necessary. For example: your battery is 42 Ah and your charger is 6 A. Then the time needed will be 42 Ah / 6 A = 7 h. Charge your battery no longer than 7 h. Please note that overcharging the battery permanently damages it.

What do you do when the laptop charger is plugged in but not charging?

I had this problem with an HP laptop.....here are some ideas:

1. Try a different AC adapter - it may be the one you're using
2. You will have to replace the DC section of the adapter through the motherboard, which is extremely risky. There are some on eBay if you want to do it yourself, otherwise you're paying $500+ for a new motherboard.
