All Laptop Computers

Archive for May, 2010

I’d like to be able to make payments on it, instead of paying in full.

Also, can anyone recommend a laptop for my specific needs?

I use limewire a lot, would like to burn CD’s, need a lot of picture storage, wireless internet, and would like to be able to watch DVDs (but dvds aren’t really important)

I also want it to have good internal speakers, and hold charge for at least two hours of use.

The computer also needs to be able to run the sims 2

Thanks!

Go to a reputable computer store and ask to speak to someone who is knowledgable on laptops.
Tell them what you need the laptop to do and how much you have to spend. They will show you alternatives. Do that in 3 or 4 stores, then go on the Internet and save yourself up to 10%.
In other words, get the best that you can afford. All manufacturers have good and bad models. A shop assistant who deals with them everyday will know the best (and worst)

I inherited a laptop computer and want to remove all of the old files, programs, etc. on the machine. I have the original discs that came with it and would re-install the XP pro that came on the machine to start with.

What’s the best way to basically start an older machine up as if it’s new? Thanks!

Boot the CD, have it delete the current partition and format NTSF, when it finishes it will install the Operating system. This is the proper way to do a clean install. A dirty install is to just have it install Windows to the hard drive that will give you issues and problems after it installed because the hard drive isn’t clean.

Nonprofit Introducing $100 Laptop For Children

The laptop will be distributed free to children as a tool to help them educate themselves.

Talk about being an optimist.

Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of MIT’s Media Lab, is heading up a project with the goal to distribute specially designed laptops, each with a price tag of less than $100, to more than 150 million schoolchildren within the next three years. That’s an amazing statistic, considering that PC makers will manufacture only about 50 million laptops this year.

In fact, getting manufacturing partners to produce so many laptops presents the program’s biggest hurdle. Negroponte says producing 150 million of anything is a significant challenge. Though daunting, he says, the problem is being solved by “mere resolve.”

Another problem that must be addressed by the not-for-profit group, One Laptop Per Child: a possible gray market in which laptops distributed free to children are instead illicitly sold by parents or others, especially those in third-world countries. One way to thwart this is allowing PC makers to manufacture commercial versions of the laptop at a relatively inexpensive price, say $200 each, with part of the profit going back to One Laptop Per Child.

Negroponte contends the laptop is a tool to help children teach themselves, a more cost-effective alternative than hiring additional teachers. “A lot of learning comes form explorations, interactions, curiosity,” Negroponte said Wednesday at an MIT emerging technology conference sponsored by Technology Review, an MIT magazine. “That’s how we learned how to walk, how to talk. It’s the kind of learning kids do very well. This [laptop] is a tool to make that more continuous, seamless versus … today, when we say at age 6, ‘Stop learning that way, and learn by being told by books and teachers.’”

A prototype of the laptop will debut in November at the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis, Tunisia. The first 5 million to 15 million laptops could be distributed by the end of next year or early 2007, with another 100 million to 150 million to be handed out a year later. The first countries to distribute the laptops will be Brazil, China, Egypt, South Africa, and Thailand.

How can One Laptop Per Child produce such a cheap laptop? Half the cost of a commercial laptop consists of sales, marketing, and distribution costs, as well as profit, items that don’t weigh down a laptop designed for a not-for-profit program. One Laptop Per Child will market the laptops directly to national ministries of education, which can distribute them like textbooks.

Commercial laptops require operating systems that can handle byte-intensive applications that Negroponte characterizes as fat and unreliable and which slow down laptop performance. Two-thirds of commercial laptops’ software manages the other thirds, which mostly does the same functions in a variety of different ways, he said.

The first-generation machine likely will employ a dual-mode LCD display found in inexpensive DVD players but that can also be used in black and white, in bright sunlight, and at four times the normal resolution–all at a cost of less $30.

Despite cost-cutting, these machines will be robust. Negroponte envisions a Linux-based, full-color, full-screen laptop that will use innovative sources of power–including wind-up–and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data. These rugged laptops will be Wi-Fi- and cell-phone-enabled, and have at least four USB ports. Its current specifications are: 500 MHz, 1 Gbyte, 1 megapixel.

Laptops distributed to schoolchildren in a specific area will create a peer-to-peer mesh network, a process developed at the MIT Media Lab.

Negroponte sees the $100 laptop program as a change agent in the way to educate children worldwide. “All we can do is seed the change,” he said, “and like Wikipedia grew, and like Linux grew, do [the same for] open-source education.”
