forehead7 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Can I get a good laptop for uni that is fast and reliable for 350 quid tops? How much am I looking to spend on programmes? Just have a look on PC World and Curry's etc, they tend to be the best. With a laptop you pretty much get what you pay for. The processor(kHz) and RAM (Gb) will determine how fast it'll be. Hard drive capacity(Gb) will determine how much you can store on it. RAM will be in single figures, 2 or 3 probably, and hard drive will be upwards of 200 probably, just so you don't confuse them since they're the same unit. Obviously the higher the better for all three. Although I think I'm right in saying that it's a lot easier to upgrade the RAM rather than the processor so bare that in mind if you think you might want to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have Virgin Internet which works perfectly well on both laptops, however, when I'm playing the ps3 or xbox online then after a while I get disconnected, anybody know why this is? Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 A mate of mine has a banned Xbox 360, the old "Elite" style, with a 120GB Hard Drive. Now I know that those old hard drives can be removed from their casing and inserted into the new slimmer-style Xbox 360 with a couple of special screwdrivers. He's pretty good with that sort of thing so that wouldn't be a problem for him. Question is, as this old 120GB hard drive was on a machine banned by Microsoft, if it's removed from its casing and inserted into the new 360, can the new machine detect that this hard drive was on a previously-banned machine? And if so, could it risk banning the new, unmodded machine? Thanks for the help, my mate will be glad of any assistance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not all that sure of spec and what's good or not but this might be worth a look at. Dell at Asda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) I've just got a new wireless router from TalkTalk, and whilst it's connecting to my laptop fine (as far as I can tell), I'm getting next to no broadband speed. It's taking ages to load a speedtest page, but I'm thinking this is going to come in at dial-up era speeds. I've connected the desktop PC with an ethernet cable and that's lightning fast. It seems like the router is struggling to actually throw out a reliable internet signal, but the actual wireless network is connecting fine. Any ideas on how to try and sort this?<br><br>Edit: Nevermind, restarting the router seems to have worked <br> Edited August 18, 2011 by Raith Against The Machine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Okay... my girlfriend has left her laptop with me while on holiday and i appear to have killed it. it's less than a year old, and primarily used for facebook (and for the past few days, porn ). now when i turn it on, the toshiba screen loads only to go to a black screen with a white line in the very top left, like you would get when you open the RUN box. help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDFC Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Try deleting some texts This fixes it everytime - cheers. But surely 2GB should hold more than a few hundred texts and a few apps no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This fixes it everytime - cheers. But surely 2GB should hold more than a few hundred texts and a few apps no? Yes. Interestingly, my gf has the same problem with her Wildfire. Could be there are temp files somewhere. We did a factory reset on hers, which has cleared memory, but now have other problems with apps not installing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I managed to water damage my Kindle a few weeks back - do i need to send it off to amazon are there places I could take it to? Erm, I never got around to dealing with Amazoin and as such my warranty expired i see Tesco sell them for the same price anyway though - is it straightfiorward enough to keep my stored books from the old one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your books are all stored by Amazon. When you log into the new device with the same account, you'll have access to everything you've bought. You might need to go into your amazon account and change the device over though. You can use the same amazon kindle account on multiple devices. I use it on my phone app and the PC desktop reader. If I bought a Kindle device I could access the same stuff on there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDFC Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Another HTC question - I keep accidently taking screenshots on my phone and I dont know what im accidently pressing to do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Another HTC question - I keep accidently taking screenshots on my phone and I dont know what im accidently pressing to do it? You didn't specify which HTC phone you have. My Desire doesn't allow screenshots...natively anyway... This is all i've found, its for the HTV Evo HTC Evo 3D received the Android 2.3.4 software update today which brought several fixes and the long-waited native screenshot capabilities.You can now take screenshot natively on your HTC Evo 3D with the shortcut: Power + Home button. You keep on holding the power button and quickly tap the Home key. You screenshot will be saved to the Camera roll.This was included in the Android 2.3.4 software update for HTC Evo 3D. try that out. edit to add: I can take screenshots on my iPod touch. Which seems to be the same routine...power button & home simultaneously. Edited August 25, 2011 by Mik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've got two laptops connected to the same wireless network. One of them won't connect to the internet for some reason, but it's probably because I basically stripped it of everything except Windows Media Player and about 100Gb of music (I had a starry-eyed plan at one point to have it hooked up to a surround sound system that was overly ambitious). Basically, I'm not bothered about connecting it to the net, but is it really as difficult as Windows seems to be making it to send files (say, mp3s or album art jpegs) over a home wireless network? One of them is Vista, the other Windows 7, if that complicates things further. Basically, if it's a middling to large amount of hassle, I'm not bothered, but I get a feeling that it might be much easier than I'm finding it at the moment. Any and all help appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate, sounds like a lot of hassle when you could pick up a decent memory stick for a few quid and sort it tout suite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
