Please be patient with me, and be more patient with your answers. If you're just going to give some vague, short answers, please don't answer anymore. I've been running around like a headless chicken with its tail on fire for a week already trying to look for a good laptop.
I would like to buy a gaming laptop, and I have a budget of $1500. Here are some of my preferences.
(I've tried some laptop finders on the web, but I felt kinda restricted, and nothing beats human intuition ^^,)
top of the list: global warranty (cause I'm just having my aunt in the U.S. buy it for me, I'm staying in Asia right now)
at least 17" screen (1920 x 1080)
Intel i7-740QM (1.7/2.93GHz)
at least 4, but preferably 6GB of DDR3 1333mhz RAM
dedicated 1GB DDR5 video memory*
one 500GB 7200rpm HDD, preferably with 2 hard drive slots
bluetooth and wi-fi capable (of course, lol)
at least 1.3mp webcam
one-touch shut up button (mute, lols)
added features are very much appreciated, like toshiba's sleep and charge. fingerprint reader is very nice, too. battery life around 4 hours and good cooling features. and oh, no major customer blunders/issues.
im actually torn between some toshiba qosmios and asus-g73jh's. can anyone shed some light?
also, please don't get insulted having to answer this, but which is better for 3D gaming and has better power management, ATI or NVIDIA? some model comparisons will be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot for your patience. =)
and oh, a backlit keyboard is a must. but most gaming laptops have that anyway, so, =)
if anyone can suggest some nice features such as those included above, please do. hit me with everything you can think of. i love functionality. thanks =)

I have an acer laptop, and it is getting a bit slow and the screen goes green and blank sometimes. I have called to get a new one a few months ago but I had to deal with acer direct and they were saying I may have to pay them some money - this put me off. I am wondering what is the best way to approach the insurance again, shall I just say it was stolen so I get a brand new one? It is with Dixons Anything happens insurance. Thanks.

I have an HP laptop (on the bottom it says "HP Pavillion dv3"). Anyways, the stupid thing has decided to go and mute itself. I used headphones the other day and it worked great, and now all of a sudden I can't turn the sound on at all. It says "the audio service is not running" when I try to click on the little volume dealio.
How the eff can I fix it? I tried going to control settings and messing with the audio controls there, but it's still the same.

I have a Compaq laptop with intel core i3, 2gb ram, 250 gb hard disk. Can I install Google Chrome OS? How is it in comparison with Windows7 Ultimate? I just need to browse the web for emails and download games, movies, songs etc. I dont do anything else. Is it OK to have Google Chrome OS? I cant afford to buy Windows7. I am preferring Google Chrome OS because its free.

Well my Laptop is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit... And recently the Start up and shut down of my computer is taking forever. I did scan for viruses and it came back clean. I do have a feeling that my computer is about to crash on me. Since i game on my laptop a lot, my operating system dies almost every 10 months. So i usually reinstall windows + all my drivers and game all over again until it dies. My computer came out of the factory with Windows Vista but i upgraded all the parts and installed windows 7 on it. It is running smooth so i don't want any answerers telling me to downgrade back. I also know that Windows XP is a good operating system to game with so please don't tell me to downgrade to that because i am up to date with software. Well i would usually just reinstall Windows 7 on this computer but i don't want to do that unless i have to because it currently isn't dead yet. So i want some ideas, tips or hints on making it start up and shut down within 40 seconds. I am ok if it is loading on home screen. I just don't want it to be loading in the Windows logo screen. It used to take 30 seconds for it to turn off and turn on. Now it is taking over 3 minutes! So please can someone give me step to step instructions or tips to make it run faster. As you know, if your answer is good but still isn't clear, i will email you asking for more tips.
Also is Java causing this problem. I have up to date anti virus so yeah.
Thank You all and please help me.
Also this computer has been running for over 10 months without needing to reinstall windows. So it started happening like 1 month ago.. That was when it meet the 10 month mark.
My Hard drive can hold up to 250GB and my C drive only has Windows files in it only.. I dont have that much programs running in the background. I dont use those programs that come with the computer. (works, roxio, etc)

I recently acquired a Sony Vaio PCG-7F1L laptop that needed a replacement hard drive. I put a new hard drive in it, and it immediately comes up to a screen that tells me I have new hardware and that I need a Windows installation disc for it to work. The hard drive has windows 7 on it, so I place my windows 7 installation disc in and then repower it on and still get the same message. I've also tried it with a Windows 7 repair disc. So far as I can tell, the CD drive works. Any ideas what could be causing it? Its an older laptop (2005) and no longer under warranty. I can try and provide any additional info if I can. Thanks in advance! :)

I own a Dell Studio 15 and I just recieved a virus from a music website. I made the mistake of not having anything to back up my files and do not have any sort of anti-virus protection. This is a rather new laptop and I'm not extremely tech-savvy. What do you recommend I do? Any suggestions help. Thanks so much for your time!
i forget to mention that i can't access the internet. the only websites i can access are the ones on my favorites that require some sort of password. These websites are all related to logging into my UC Irvine account.

i have a dell inspiron 1750. great lappy it even has a 512mb dedicated ati graphics card, its great for movies with the 17" LED screen.
HOWEVER, games are very blocky and pixellated, looks like space invaders from the 70's!! i have downloaded and installed the ati ccc tool and tried changing settings but its still very poor. dell say its up to ATI as they made it, ATI say its up to dell as they make the laptops. shocking customer service from both parties, im never buying dell or ati again EVER. hope you learn from this dell/ ati.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE??????????????????????
thank you in advance for your suggestions/ help :)

I'm getting a sony vaio f series laptop tomorrow. Its mainly gonna be used for video editing. Although a desktop would be more suited for this task I also need a computer to take with me to school so I decided on a more powerful laptop. Its got an i7-740 qm processor, 4 gigs of ddr3 - 1333 ram, an nvidia 330m graphics card and a 500 gig 5400 rpm hard drive. My first question is is this laptop sufficient for video editing? I plan on expanding the ram to 8 gigs in a couple months. I'll mainly be using the adobe suite. My main question is is it worth upgrading the hard drive to a 7200 rpm one? I have an external drive at home. Its a 7200 terabyte hard drive with usb, firewire and esata ports. Would it be worth it to upgrade to a7200 rpm hard drive? I mean will i really notice that much of a difference?

it's a 2 year old laptop, an Acer type with windows 7 and just recently i restarted the computer and then when i turned it on, it comes to starting windows and then turns off. now why did it do that? First off, don't give me rambling instructions. I just need to know why it did it and was it possible that it could be some virus or whatever?
My computer has McAfee total protection, it says the computer doesn't have a virus. Also, my computer seems to be running ok, just wasn't sure why it turn off.

Why haven't they added 3D to the new tablet devices like the iPad and especially the new ones from Samsung. Surly they can because you don't need glasses for a small screen like them. Especially now that they are adding a front viewing camera why not add another on the other side to make it like eyes so it can be 3D as well? they did it with the new DS that is coming out so the technology is there.
Is there a marketing reason for them no doing so? do they just want us to buy them now, then create a newer one with extra technology that they make purposely so we buy a newer one ?

I'm just 16 so i dont have a lot of money, but i'm looking for a decent laptop for around $450 that could play starcraft 2 and WoW. I know nothing for that price will play them perfectly, but what would be the best laptop for that price?
As far as nothing coming close to running sc2, i know that's not true, as my current laptop which i bought for 600 around 3 years ago runs it, albeit no so well, and my friend's 300 laptop runs it quite well.
Deion, i'm not stupid, that's a terrible deal.

I have a 10.6.4 white Macbook. I just got it last christmas. I recently purchased an Airport Express. I use it for my Macbook and my 10.4.11 desktop iMac (I don't know which version it is, but it has a built-in iSight camera).
For the first few months both computers connected like they should and I was able to use my Macbook all through the house. Now, my desktop iMac can still connect just fine, but my Macbook barely connects at all. The only time I can get it to connect is if I'm in the same room where the Airport is located, and even then it doesn't connect sometimes.
I'm guessing my Macbook is the problem. But I don't know what to do about it.
Any advice?

I'm a college student who was laid off last year due to the economy. I have been approached many times by multi-level marketing companies trying to get me to work for them and earn money. I have heard many bad things about a lot of them, but I have heard good things too when I've gone to their meetings. I want to support my family, but be able to spend time with them too (my last job I worked 80+ hours a week). What is the best way to gain residual income without having too much cash on hand?

Do you wash your hair first? Use the same rag on your bum and on your face?

I have not seen my boyfriend all week except one evening when we spend the night together! Just sleeping and not really spending time together. so finally on thursday night I send him a message asking what was his plans and suggested couple things.
he replied to me with "My plan is an after work is to have a quick drink with my colleagues! Afterwards no idea. Yes, Casablanca bar, why not? Let's talk later!".
After that I did not get any answer or call from him till 10:30 so i texted him! and he was at another bar with his female friend having a drink! and he asked me to join and i said No!
I am upset because i feel neglected and not important to him. am i over-reacting?

I have one of those black samsung televisions that has like a touch screen control system on the side of the tv, to change the channel, volume etc. Every now and again they go off by themselves and i'll have turned on the tv and it will start turning the volume up and changing the channels, and eventually if will turn itself off. I don't know if it's because it's in my attic where it's quite warm, or if it's because we don't use the volume on it as we have a separate speaker for it, but i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
