Member since:October 03, 2009Total points:94 (Level 1)As it sounds, another Yahoo user that has little knollege of computers. The brand means ****. That's right, it means **** unless their company has had stability problems in the past with the hardware they put in the machine for being incompatible or frequently adding duds. If you are going to buy a computer please look these terms up then compare the computers you want; processor, RAM (I'll say this now, 4GB is you need, overall not as important,) graphics card, hard drive, and mother board (not significant in laptops.) And no you computer will not do your cooking or laundry.Kaval P by Kaval P Member since:June 22, 2009Total points:96 (Level 1)anything except a hp. hp are the worst escpecially wiht fan problems. mine can get as hot as like 120 - 130 degrees. and it overheats alot. overall hps are crap.

Open Question: Should this be happening?

Open Question: Should this be happening?

I bought an intuos4 a few days ago and I've been having some fun messing around with it. I'm having some problems though. Whenever I unplug my tablet and turn off my computer, then plug my tablet back in when the computer's on the tablet is no longer connected to the computer. I have to reinstall my tablet every time this happens, but if I leave the USB in it still works fine even after shutting the laptop off. Is this a problem or is this suppose to happen?

I also can't seem to download my photoshop free download from the intuo website and they refuse to give me a security key for my corel painter download. I'm gonna check up with the intuo people on this, but has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone else know how to get a serial number for corel painter?

Thanks

Open Question: saving up for a laptop what brand should i get?

17 inch is really heavy. Its 10 - 12 lbs. Thats just the laptop, so if your plan on carrying books and other things. Thats alot of baggage. By the way my 15 inch has a numberpad. An its only 6lbs.
Unless of course your planning on joining the armed services, you can take this as a prep-bag for carrying that 50lb backpack.

Anyway the biggest problem with giving you advise, you never really said what your using it for. Because if your not going for games. Then you could go for a Vaio which are thin and portable.

Or go for a Mac Book Pro, which are also light, and look elegant.

If you want something more high-end go for a Asus ROG series.
Or if your intrested in making your own custom laptop try

Open Question: What is a good apple laptop?

Open Question: What is a good apple laptop?

Macbook air= lighter design, but smaller storage than other macs and doesn't run as well. For those who like protability.

Macbook= usually for students who can't afford a macbook pro, same or more storage than macair, runs slightly better.

Macbook pro= get this if money isn't an issue, best macbook around and will easily run photoshop for you. These can get to $2500 though, so it gets very pricey and imo isn't worth the money. If you don't have to buy a mac, consider the lenovo think pad series.

Good luck

Open Question: What should i upgrade my graphics card to?

Open Question: What should i upgrade my graphics card to?

First off, i'm a baffled retard when it comes to computers.

I bought Starcraft II not too long ago, and it was incredibly slow even with all resolutions and settings low as possible.
I bought a card off the internet that was supposed to be compatible with vista, but it wasn't.....

So i don't want to waste anymore cash

Specs (i don't know what any of this means)

Model: a6514f
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System type: 32-bit operating System

and my current card apparently is
GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i

please help me :/

Open Question: Is there an easy way to see if you can play a video game according to your graphics card?

Open Question: Is there an easy way to see if you can play a video game according to your graphics card?

You should find out the Model of card.
for example is it an Nvidia 280.

Problem is you need to have basic idea.
The Order of Cards from oldest to newest series is 8000, 9000, 200, 300, 400, 500
Then look for the 2nd number
From 1 - 4 its considered low end cards. Which are not really ment for gaming. Lowest for gaming would be a 4. [Remember I am talking about the 2nd number such as 240, 440, the 2nd number]

5 - 6 are considered mid range cards which are ok for gaming
7 8 9 are the best.

Same rules apply for ATI based on first and 2nd number.

So for example Say it says minimum requirements is a 8800 GT. Nvidia. Then if you have a 240 GT you can play. But if you have a 8600 you can't. But if you have a 210 you can't either because

8800 GT is a high end card 210 you can't pllay games on. 240 is still a low end card, but its the most basic card ment for gaming.

Its all a bit confusing I know

UPDATE:
Ohhh you have a inbuilt.... ya... sorry no hope.
Its like bragging you have a car, and you find out its like a Fiat Multipla [http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/a… Its been rated one of the worst cars of all time :P Just see the picture .Its just awsome.

Anyway ya its inbuilt meaning its touch and go. Most likely its go and hopeless. You can play basic games like Plants vrs Zombies, or Torchlight, That doesn't take advantage of Shaderss, Lighting, Bump mapping etc. But any game which does most likely won't work. Or you will have to play with all the settings off.
Never buy inbuilt cards they are curse on gaming :P

Open Question: Linux ubutnu: Why Isn't my computer picking up my headphone jack and my computer mic?

Before you embark on a driver journey;
try running this from the shell:

~$ alsamixer

Check to see if anything is muted, sometimes that is all that is wrong.

EDIT:
Then check this site out if that doesn't work:

Open Question: Is it possible to erase everything on your computer manually?

Did you try system restore? Also, for the corrupt files try the ChckDsk unity.

If it's a virus then the files you saved could've been corrupt too.

You should post another question but mention your OS in it too...
