Laptops

You can purchase refurbished notebook or netbook computers for as little as $299. Newer models can run anywhere from $349 to well over $2,000 dollars. For general use, $600 will buy a fast, functional notebook computer loaded with the most popular software and features.

In general, it seems that they are. Acer was initially the manufacturer for Texas Instruments before they became a separate company. In general, they seem competetively priced and well-built. Their tech support also seems very good with reasonable wait times and very often an American-sounding agent on the other end who is usually pretty helpful.

I stick a paper clip into the hole somewhere on the laptop for an emergency reset when the computer is frozen. The hole positions vary but they seem to be on all the laptops I have used. I also just hold down the start button until it stops Windows and turns off the power. Not a good way to shut down but sometimes needed. Then wait 30 seconds and press the button again to restart.

"Wal Mart seems to have the best deals when it comes to electronics. They always have really good deals on their products, so Sony laptops will probably have really good deals at their store."

Most of them sell for around $300-$450. They come with a 12'' or 14'' screen, and they are light and compact.

yes it is because if you don't understand something than instead of bothering the class you can look up the word. I t is also good fro research papers so you don't turn it in late and the class can get done more in class.

I use to work testing laptop panels using LEM pixinator. If you use a newer PC then it may be possible. The trick is getting analog laptop panel to sinc with newer AGP card. then there is an issue of converting the data cable to VGA or DVI and inverting the power 5 or 10 volt. Radio Shack probably has the hardware to convert the power. not to difficult. the data cable lead can be bought online or possibley salvaged from the laptop it came from. then you will need to join that cable to a VGA adapter.

If the two PC's are networked, you can use the MaxiVista software, which extends your primary PC screen onto one (or more) network available PCs. The software is very simple to install.

Most laptops have a 15 pin connector on the back, which is the standard monitor cable connector. Most LCD/plasma TVs also have a 15 pin connector also, so you can go into your nearest computer/electronics store and pick up a 6ft 15pin monitor cable for under $20. If it is a modern laptop, it may have HDMI instead, in which case you can connect it to a HDMI monitor or most LCD/plasma TVs.

Buy a vga male to male cable. Make sure your PC and laptop, both have female VGA inputs. it looks like it has about 12 dots (a vga input) and also looks similar to a weird rectangle.

Yes: Desktops have standardardized formfactors for their peripherals whereas laptops have different formfacters for each company. Also, the components are larger, there is more room for new components within the case, and more expansion ports in a desktop computer.

Consumer reviews compare both the Apple Magic Wireless Laser Mouse and the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 favorably with each other, and rate them highest among their peers. Logitech is a well reviewed brand that offers a variety of options.

The first thing to check is see if their is power going to the keyboard. Does the Number lock, Caps lock, and Scroll lock lights work? If they do work then the problem could be a bad keyboard especially if the mouse works. If the lights do not work then check the plug it could be getting a bad connection, a broken or bent pin, or not plugged in at all.

There is no set price for a refurbished laptop because this would depend on the brand of the laptop and what kind of work was done to improve the machine.Generally,a refurbished laptop would cost between $150 and $400,but it could be more if the computer is a more expensive brand.

If you need to extend the life of your sony laptop while away from its AC adapter, buy a sony large capacity battery. This will increase your battery life by approximately 1.5 times. When you're at home, keep your laptop plugged into the wall with the supplied AC adapter. This will keep your battery charged at 100 percent. When on the road, avoid using multimedia features such as the DVD player and speakers, as these drain the battery quite a bit. If you're not using the Internet, turn off your wireless connection. If you need to leave the computer for a period of time, close the cover so it goes into hibernation mode. You can save additional battery power by turning off Bluetooth and removing USB devices. Also, avoid exposing it to extremely hot or cold temperatures.

depending on the laptop, it could be DDR, DDR2 or DDR3. But the form factor is all the same. Its all SO-DIMM memory

It will depend on the operating system and what camera related software is installed on the machine. Vendors Dell install their own video and photo capture software which can be accessed through the Start ->Programs. In Windows XP, go to control panel and then scanners and cameras option can be used to setup a USB or integrated PC/web cam. You can also use Windows Movie Maker and select capture video option and it will start showing all the cameras connected to the machine. You can also use applications like Yahoo messenger to see and share video through your internal or USB web cam.

However, there's probably some more logical ways of connecting your desktop to your printer.

1. Does your printer have an ethernet port? If so, use this to connect to your switch or desktop NIC directly.

2. Does your desktop have a wireless card? Use this and connect to your printer.

3. If not 1 or 2, setup a wireless access point or get a wireless router with some ethernet ports. You'll easily be able to connect all your devices this way.

There a multiple ways to back up stuff, I'm assuming you mean the information on the laptop so I'll give you some examples.

Transfer the information onto a memory stick, CDs, Floppy discs (if you still use those things), transfer the data onto a portable hard drive, transfer the data onto your PC, put all the information onto your own securely locked website so that only you can access it, or get someone else to do it for you.
