You can buy DVI to VGA adapters it should work just fine once you get one of those to convert over. Something like this if you just need the adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999201 or something like this if you need a cable http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119044.

Does this seem like a good laptop?
Does this seem like a good laptop?
I am so stupid when it comes to electronic. I am giving my laptop to my little brother and buy myself another one. What I usually do on my computer/laptop is using the Internet. I also save a lot of videos, songs and pictures. I mean A LOT. I also save a lot of notes from classes and stuff. Oh and I like playing second life :) I am considering either this one http://www.bixnet.com/as47se3.html or this one http://nbtoshiba.ru/catalog/product_details/Toshiba_Satellite_A200-11C_196option/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28&page=shop.product_details&category_id=details&product_id=196&flypage=shop.flypage&vmcchk=1 IT's in Russian but I think you can get the idea lol or this one http://www.vgcomputing.com.au/nsbenqA52V02.html and finally this one http://www.allteq.com.au/benq/A52E_specs.html Which one is the best do you think? I'm kinda feeling the third is the one lol Thanks in advance and sorry about my speling I'm soooooo sleepy! spelling i meant lol I forgot to change the title :|

Those systems are all pretty much horrible. Almost a grand for a Vista Home Basic system? Geeks, NewEgg and Walmart all have those starting at like 350-400 for a Home Basic laptop. I suggest you keep looking. If you are willing to spend a grand, go find a cheap alienware, which will play games fairly well and have a good, stable, solid machine.

I think the 1st one is a good laptop. it has all the necessary things need for surfing the web or doing work. But you are always carrying a risk when you buy pre- built laptops. GOOD luck.

The second one the Toshiba laptop is the best out of these, but seriously u could probably get something better from ur local store at a cheaper price. Whatever u do please don't buy the third one, its horrible. So out of these 4 the best is the Toshiba again, the site in Russian, anyway take care. Good Luck!

i just got the Toshiba Satellite A205-S7458. it is really fast for entry level gaming and doeseverything i need it to do. 2GB of ram. 200Gb hard drive. Intel Core 2 Duo. really nice. Office Depot price is $949.99. you can probably get it for less somewhere online.

I doubt if it is possible to flash your console with this laptop You need a SATA ( serial-ATA ) port to connect the drive, preferably with VIA chipset. http://www.vistax64.com/attachments/chillout-room/10442d1235687578-sata-esata-sata-2-sata-signal-cable-1.jpg Since the p205-s6347 has neither you might be able to use USB to SATA (Serial-ATA) adapter but I doubt if it will recognize the drive http://www.usbnow.co.uk/Adapters_&_Connectors-USB_to_SATA_Adapters/c42_49/p1451/USB_to_SATA_HDD_Cable_+_eSATA_Outputs_(VE444)/product_info.html

Once again, I highly recommend them because I've purchased many things from them and have never had a complaint!

Hmmmm. You would have to actually take apart your laptop to access the SATA ports. They're located on your motherboard. You would also have to take apart the 360 to flash it. You would also need a SATA to USB adapter. (You could easily find these online or at places that sell accessories for the Xbox. eSATA ports are ports found on newer models of PCs produced after 2004, they are SATA ports that are located on the outside of computers that are as easy to access as USB ports. I do not recommend flashing your 360 unless you have lots of time, patience, and are Tech-Inclined. An extra 360 is also highly recommend. Not only is there an extremely high possiblity of your computer or 360 breaking while taking it apart, using the program to flash your drive is very risky. A modchip is a lot easier than doing this. It would also be easier to pay a Geek Squad member to flash it for you:) There is no way to softmod the 360 with homebrew like the wii yet, but eventually there will. Just be patient and dont risk your pc or 360.

BenQ G2220HD
I'd like to buy a monitor to my laptop. I need some help to decide.?
I am thinking about buying BenQ G2220HD or BenQ G2220HDA or Asus VH222D monitor to my lenovo thinkpad r61i laptop. But i am not sure if this model can handle HD monitors or not. I'd appreciate if you could give me some pros and cons to the brands (benq, asus). Thanks! The graphic card of the thinkpad r61i is: 128MB nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

i have a netbook with the gma 950 and mine cant support my benq E2200HD (older version of the G2220HD). i am not sure if you have exactly the same gpu but if you do... and i assume you do (to find this out go to properties, change resolution and then it should say the gpu you have. if you have the X3100 then it supports 1920x1080, if you have something like the GMA 950, 965,915 then it wont) then i would get a smaller resolutioned one maybe 19" or something. i love my Benq has performed flawlessly for 6months, no dead pixels, great quality i truly superb monitor. if your laptop does support full-hd then by all means dont hesitate to grab the G2220HD. oh but the benq will smudge very easely :)
