I don’t want it because its kinda lame, its very low end on everything, and I know we don’t have a lot of money, but I want something that will play tf2 on low setting so I can play at my friends house with ease, with out lugging a large desk top around. and I want this one.

she won’t get it because she wants it only for school and told me if I want it I can get it my self if I don’t want her help. the actual lap top she wants to get me is not a referb as the first is, and is about 500$ I’m saving her mom and she is pissed at me. and saving money by not buying and trying to get her to help me get parts and a monitor for a gaming computer to play one game.

how do I try to convince her to let me do this. she got me a car to only go to school and small driving and I do that and I never ask for gas, and never really ask her or my dad for money for maintenance (I know some one that works in an auto body shop to help me) and I don’t do drugs and drink like other kids, but when ever I ask her she always goes off topic and diverts it to something bad or something I could do from years ago. how do I deal with her, I’ve been doing it for the last 19 years, but lately my chest starts hurting and I get dizzy every time I try to reason.
I don’t work at the moment I have been working for a long time, and I know quite a lot about computers, and the actual computer costs 599$ now that I looked at the paper, its just the link to the same thing not in the store. what I really want is about 9 but I am trying to keep it cheep. the only difference is one warranty is a year , the other is 90 days.

I more or less want a compromise with my mom and me. her getting me a cheap school computer, and me getting something that will play the one thing I want, with our her buying me all the parts to build a new desk top.
she’s the one out money, either way she is buying me about 900$ in computer parts to build a gaming desk top including monitor, if she gets me that lap top I don’t need the parts to build a computer, I have something to do what I want,and what she wants.

I am having problem with both my laptop and my PC. (different issues) My laptop is running SO slowly. Pages take a very long time to load, if they load at all. I have done a disk defrag., I am have done disk clean up, ect… all the general maintenance programs. I have Verizon security Suite and ran the anti-spyware program, but when I run the anti-virus scan, it goes VERY SLOW and ends up freezing about half way through. I could use some help!!!
Already checked to see if another program is installed… it isnt. I am stumped and completely dumb about computers!!! haha.

I am looking for a laptop that will last for a fairly large amount of time, around 5+ years. It does not have to be a gaming computer, or have a load of processing power. I just need something that will last a long time, can use word processing and other office products, and internet. Fairly fast internet would be nice, but I am looking to keep the price down so it is not a necessary factor. And not macs, because I have had some bad experiences with macs requiring a lot of professional maintenance. The most important parts of the laptop would be long lasting, easy to use, and not requiring professional maintenance. The lower the price, the better.

should, but then after about half an hour, it starts becoming very sluggish and slow. It gets to a point where switching between windows takes a long time, and clicking on a link takes time before the link actually "clicks".

No viruses or spywares and the like detected. Regular computer maintenance done.

HP Laptop Nx7400, 1GB RAM, 1.73GHz.

What could be the problem? Thanks if you can help.

My laptop is really sticky/dirty and I think its time to clean it up. My sister uses it all the time but sometimes there’s dirt or she sneezes on the screen.. I was already told NOT to use water or anything on it. How do I get off the dirt on the laptop screen, laptop mouse (the little touch pad and the two buttons as the little clickers or whatever), and the areas surrounding the keyboards? Its really rough and my fingers get all sorts of unidentified stickies on it. Also what can I use besides water to get it off? I’m pretty sure you can’t use liquids or anything so what is there that I can use for cleaning it up?Thanks, I’ve really been meaning to clean it up for a long time, just not sure how

I will be getting a new Notebook PC/laptop by October. I have made a lot of research and so far HP tops the list in terms of specifications & reviews. I’m not a very brand conscious person however its one of the factors i consider. Most branded laptops have been proven on the highest quality & could last a very long time. I would highly appreciate your inputs.
