What is the key to good video quality for watching shows online on a laptop is it the processor speed or RAM or memory and what is good for these things ie 2 GHz or 360GB?

First of all, good video quality depends most importantly on the quality of the video itself.

As for the viewer, some of the factors to look out for are:

- good screen resolution (1366X768, 1920X1080 or better)

- good screen size (14', 15' or bigger)

- internet download speed (2-3mb+)

- good graphic card (NVIDIA, ATI or Intel HD graphic cards with 256MB+ GDDR3)

As for the processor (CPU) or memory (same as RAM), it's not as important. The better the better.

How do you do unstick a frozen cursor?

If your computer freezes there are really two possible things to do:

  1. Wait for it to unfreeze - Often the computer can freeze when it has to load a lot of content. Websites especially can cause this. Examples of hard to load sites are:
    • http://www.orange.co.uk - (this page only) Always freezes the computer. It unfreezes itself in a minute or two.
      • A workaround is to go directly to the content you need, like http://email.orange.co.uk.
    • http://direct.asda.co.uk - (first page of the site you visit) Performs the same as orange. The computer freezes for a minute or two then works fine for the rest of the site.
      • I haven't found a workaround for this.
  2. Restart your computer - Before you do this you should always give the computer a few minutes in case it will unfreeze again.

Does it matter if you leave your laptop overnight if it is plugged into a household wall socket?

I have done this before and nothing bad happened but I would not suggest doing it on a regular basis. Be aware that the adapter for the laptop will get very hot when it is plugged into the socket for long amounts of time. Another problem could be that not only the adapter overheats but other componants in your laptop may also begin to heat which could cause the mother board to not work or any other important componant that is important in the running of the computer may litterally melt down and stop working. In conclusion, if you have accidently left your laptop plugged in overnight, do not worry yourself too much just get there asap to unplug it. DO NOT regularly leave your laptop charging overnight!

How do you record a video on an acer laptop?

Ok well first your going to need a webcam I'd suggest looking on:

Amazon.co.UK

eBay.co.UK

For any Webcams you need.

Once you've got the Webcam/Camara look through the box and find the Drivers CD (Which will be like the only CD in the Box, Once you've found it put it into the PC and install the drivers (Its just like any other installation) Once that's done plug your Webcam into the PC via a USB port and then open the Software you installed (when you installed the drivers it probebly came with Filming software to)

Now open that software and from there you should be able to find the Record button.

I've just had a look at Acer's website, If you've got one of the new laptops that come with webcams then you need to look through the box the laptop came with and find the Drivers for the Webcam, Install it and there we go, Should be simple from there.

What is the best thing to do for your notebook after it is fully charged unplug or leave it connected?

Let me just say that you can't go wrong if you unplug it.

Now for older notebooks (before ~2006-2007), do unplug it.

For newer notebooks, it doesn't really matter.

However, just to be extra precautious, unplug it.

Is hp durable?

I bought an HP laptop two years ago I bought it new and it is a genuine registered HP. It had an overheating problem 6 months ago and it went down again last week this time with no warning message of a failure of the ventilator as it did the first time. It was the first laptop I bought new I always used to buy second hand IBM laptops and never had any hardware problems with them. Either HP is using a very poor quality of components or the cooling system is badly conceived, in both cases my answer to your question is : No, not durable.

How do you use camera on laptop Toshiba Windows 7?

It should be using the built in native driver. Meaning it's ready for use in a webcam supported software like Skype.

Some Toshiba laptops have a activation button on the keyboard on one of the F1-F12, and some require you to hold the FN button at the same time as the F-button.

A digital camera must be plugged via USB.

Is there any difference between Laptop Notepad and Thinkpad?

"Notebooks and laptops are not the same thing and this

is a perfect illustration of the distinction.

A laptop is a computer you put on your lap.

A notebook is a computer with a screen that folds down

over the keyboard (with a form factor like a paper

notebook, hence the name).

A laptop may or may not have a folding screen (the

earliest models didn't). A notebook may or may not be

"lappable" - i.e. it may or may not be small enough,

cool enough or light enough to hold on your lap.

A 19" notebook is a portable PC, but I wouldn't call

it a laptop. There's nothing wrong with this category

of machine, IMO - I personally keep my notebook on my

coffee table 99% of the time, and only carry it with

me to a place (in other words, I don't have a need to

bust it out in-transit on a train or a bus, I take it

out on a corresponding desk or table somewhere else).

Laptops are perfectly fine if you want a real

go-anywhere computer. But this is not a laptop, and

not everybody needs that amount of portability. Some

people just need a machine to act as a desktop most of

the time, but that still doesn't take up a lot of

space and can be moved around easily when needed."

moreover to confuse us all there are the tablet pcs

which might or might not have a keyboard.. and now

laptops are becoming so small, they will soon start

blurring the lines between PDA's and laptops

Hope this helps :)

At present time how many people on earth can use thought to communicate?

well i am not totally sure if that is possible. i am sure that some people may think the same things at the same time... but nothing more than that...

It's really hard to say because most people who can do this don't reveal themselves. Also, there are people who fake it. Then there is the fact that every body can do it they just don't think they can and thinking like this prevents them from using it. So you see why an answer can't be given, however, with the reason I just given we can say everybody in the world can do this.
