Difference between a laptop and desktop processor?
There is no difference between a laptop and desktop CPU. DIFFERENCE IN USE: LAPTOP - is intended for mobile people but in reality we put it at the top of table or desk - better we call it as "NOTEBOOK" only, then we have no problem in using it at the top of table. DESKTOP - is intended at the top of a desk, but in reality or mostly installed below or under the table or desk. Also they call it as CPU??? So what shall we call the real CPU (Processor) in the motherboard? POCKET PC - is intended for mobile people and to placed in jeans pocket, but in reality we put it in our clutch bag, etc. or at the side of belly belt… ADDITIONAL INFO: You will find and read this Warning in all Notebook User's Manual... DO NOT PUT THE NOTEBOOK PC ON YOUR LAP OR OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY TO AVOID INJURY FROM HEAT!
How do you connect laptops together on a wireless network?
If you don't have access to a WAP (wireless access point) then you will need to configure the laptops to work in ad hoc mode. In ad hoc mode, one of the laptops will be the "host", other laptops will be clients. You need to use the same SSID (service set identifier) for all the laptops. I presume you're asking about Windows laptops; with Windows Vista, it's fairly straightforward: # Select Connect to from the start menu.
# Click Set up a connection or network. # Click Set up an ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network, click Next, and then follow the steps in the wizard.
If you mean the physical dimensions these are:
Height: 1.4 inches (3.6 cm)
Width: 7.7 inches (19.7 cm)
Depth: 7.7 inches (19.7 cm)
Weight: 3.0 pounds (1.37 kg)
How do you turn on Bluetooth on an HP Pavilion?
If your particular model of HP has the bluetooth installed from the factory, turning on the wireless switch on the front left edge of the laptop enables the bluetooth, as well as the wireless LAN. A bluetooth icon should appear in your taskbar, near the clock, when bluetooth is turned on. Most of the cheaper versions of the DV6000 series do not come with the bluetooth module installed. The module can be ordered from HP Parts and installed by the end user, if they have a little computer know how. You would then download and install the bluetooth software pack that is available on HP's support website.

How do you upgrade your video card on a laptop?
# Power off computer # Open computer case ## If your current video card is integrated (meaning the moniter plugs into the motherboard, look on both sides of the case) then ignore step 3 # Remove old video card # Insert new video card into any slot of correct size Do not force the card in, but be firm and make sure it is securely connected completely. Once you have done all this, close the computer case and boot up and install the driver software included with your new video card. WARNING: Touch the metal frame of the computer before touching the card itself or your motherboard, as a static electricity buildup can damage your computer.
What do you do when your computer screen gets smaller on laptop?
If you are referring to the screen occupying less of the monitor screen, you probably inadvertently hit the button on the top right. There's usually 3 boxes at the top: one with what looks like an underline, one that has what looks like 2 tiny boxes in it, and one that is usually red with an X in it.
The one that looks like an underline is the one that you press when you want to hide a site. Click on that button and you notice that it flies to the bottom of the screen and just stays there. When you want it again, hit that again and it blows up into normal size on your screen.
The one that looks like 2 tiny boxes is that one that you want to click on. If your work screen is small but you can still read it, look at the top right and you'll notice that those 2 tiny boxes became an empty box. Click on it and it should blow up in size. Play with those buttons and get to know them.
Of course, you know that the red box is for, the one with the X, don't you?
If you're referring to the print, graphics, boxes, etc., on your page just being small and hard to read, then go to the top left and click view, and click zoom and find you a comfortable size. As you get bigger, look at the bottom of your screen and you'll notice a slide bar. Whatever is hidden on the screen can be brought back onto the screen but moving the slide bar.
Go for it!

Which is better laptop computer or desktop computer?
This section applies to most common RAM machine-based computers.
In most cases, computer instructions are simple: add one number to another, move some data from one location to another, send a message to some external device, etc. These instructions are read from the computer's memory and are generally carried out (executed) in the order they were given. However, there are usually specialized instructions to tell the computer to jump ahead or backwards to some other place in the program and to carry on executing from there. These are called "jump" instructions (or branches). Furthermore, jump instructions may be made to happen conditionally so that different sequences of instructions may be used depending on the result of some previous calculation or some external event. Many computers directly support subroutines by providing a type of jump that "remembers" the location it jumped from and another instruction to return to the instruction following that jump instruction.
Program execution might be likened to reading a book. While a person will normally read each word and line in sequence, they may at times jump back to an earlier place in the text or skip sections that are not of interest. Similarly, a computer may sometimes go back and repeat the instructions in some section of the program over and over again until some internal condition is met. This is called the flow of control within the program and it is what allows the computer to perform tasks repeatedly without human intervention.
Comparatively, a person using a pocket calculator can perform a basic arithmetic operation such as adding two numbers with just a few button presses. But to add together all of the numbers from 1 to 1,000 would take thousands of button presses and a lot of time, with a near certainty of making a mistake. On the other hand, a computer may be programmed to do this with just a few simple instructions. For example:
mov No. 0, sum ; set sum to 0 mov No. 1, num ; set num to 1 loop: add num, sum ; add num to sum add No. 1, num ; add 1 to num cmp num, #1000 ; compare num to 1000 ble loop ; if num <= 1000, go back to 'loop' halt ; end of program. stop running
What to do when laptop wont reboot?
First you may want to recall what you have previously done to the computer before reboot, downloaded, removed, changed, etc. How many, if any, Virus Protection software(s) do you have? If, after rebooting again, and seeing no sign of progress, including no Windows, or whatever operating system, logo, then you may want to check if your laptop is plugged in, or remove the battery and put in after a few hours. If it still does not respond your boot.ini file may be corrupted, or plausibly another Win32 file. If, with these suggestions, cannot come to a positive conclusion you may visit my website at wce.page.tl and go to the "Contact" section or email me at will.liljon@gmail.com.

How do you expand your laptop memory?
The only ways to expand the physical memory (RAM) in a PC is to add more RAM to augment the existing RAM, or to replace the existing RAM with larger chips. All chips must be of the same type and speed, but needn't be the same size (although it's better if they are).
Note that the motherboard may impose a limit on the maximum amount of RAM supported, however 32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4GB of RAM regardless of how much RAM is physically installed. The graphics card's memory must also reside in the 4GB address space which reduces the available RAM further still. 64-bit operating systems impose no such limits and will make use of all available RAM, over and above the graphics card's memory.
There is a common demand for laptops because...
1. They are portable;
2. Many come with a wireless option;
3. They are seen as 'cool' by some people, like a fashion item;
4. They are generally cheaper than buying a computer.

Laptop hardware configurations are changing. Some formats are coming out where the monitor can be separated from the keyboard and used as a tablet. Yet the laptop's easy keyboard use will keep a strong market share. As the industry shakes out other formats, prices on models such as Dells and Lenovos will come down into the $400 range.
