Forum : What Laptop Should I Buy For College?
Topic : New Laptop?

I've got a DV1000 and want to upgrade. I mostly do multitaksing like watching a video, surfing and writing a paper. Maybe a little bit of lite gaming. What should I get?

Topic : DV1000 Upgrades

I've got a DV1000 and I've already maxed out the ram. Is there anything else I can really upgrade? Will I notice much of a diff if i use a 7200rpm hard drive vs what mine has right now(4200/5400)?

Topic : Anyone Try Windows 7 Yet?

Yea i've tried it out. Nice so far, haven't had any stability issues either, seems to work fine with all the vista drivers as well. Taskbarr is a nice feature, other than that not too many huge changes over vista, should be interested to see what microsoft chooses to ship.

My laptop comes with integrated 802.11G, would I notice any difference if I upgraded to a 802.11N card?

Topic : Anyone Try Windows 7 Yet?

Just downloaded and installed windows 7 on my HP laptop last week, seems like a really nice operating system so far. All the drivers and software from Vista work just fine and haven't had a crash or any problems yet. Anyone else have any feedback on windows 7?

Topic : Laptop Adapter?

First it depends what model XPS? Sometimes you can use a PA-12 over a PA-10 on smaller XPS models, but use what is listed on the bottom or preferably what it came with. There should only be a $5 or so difference between a PA-10 and a PA-12 so if it came with a PA-10 then you should stick with using that.

If you're looking for a desktop replacement mouse then I'd go with something out of the logitech MX series. I've enjoyed my MX1100 despite the fact that it doesnt come with a recharable battery pack you can always add rechargeable batteries to it.

If you want something that will be a lot smaller and may not be as comfortable for longer use periods VX Nano is a solid mouse as well.

My laptop adapter died on my Dell XPS. Can I use A PA-12 since It's a little cheaper or should I use a PA-10 Since that's what it came with?
