since you didn't list any specs on any of those pcs and there are to many to look up. I recommend asking what you want to do with your laptop. if all you do is web search and e-mail/instant message then just buy the cheapest you can find. otherwise with todays pc prices dropping all the time i suggest a Dual core processor with 2 gigs of ram and at least a 15.4 briteview screen. i bought a toshiba laptop with those specs from walmart online for 635.00 delivered to my door. (moms xmas gift) I am typing this on a year old 399.00 walmart special. Compaq Presario laptop.

My hands-on experience tells me that Acer and Dell have good price worth, while the durability and quiality of IBM and Lenovo are beyond question. Hope this can help u.

Some are good laptops you have mention, but for me I will always use Sony VIO. Wonderful laptops and I never had a problem. If you want to have a nice, durability laptop for a long time... I recommend you Sony VIO. It is worth to save the money to buy a good one. Do not buy a pass by laptop, in the long run you will have to buy another one. Right now I own 5 laptops and 3 desktops all are Sony vio. Why Sony ? Because I did bought in the past some of the ones that you have mention above and really have to sell it or give away, till I bought Sony. WHOA!!! My laptops and desktops never had to see the PC Dr. I have them for years. I spent good money for it but it worth every penny. That is why? I had never spent any money on repairs because I never had a problem with any of them. Best

I have found that Compaq (which is HP) and Sony's are the more reliable brands Dell (yes it is cheaper but if you have to replace a part from it, it does cost 2 arms and a leg to replace) Acers have given me some problems with the different laptops that I have at work. I have had one that the power supply was making some weird noises right out of the box.

What do you think? What should I uninstall? Or install?
Hy! My brother tells me that I have too many software installed on my laptop. I don't know if they are all good and useful, if I should uninstall some of them or change some of them with something else. I have a Benq Joy-book. I am on the Internet each day, I read the mail, I play on-line games, I watch movies, I download movies, games, music, I write, I read, I listen to music. I said some of the things I do for you to know. So, besides the games or some small softwares, the others installed softwares are: 1. ACD See 10, 2. Adobe Flash Player, 3. Adobe Reader 8, 4. Adobe Shockwave Player, 5. Avira AntiVirus Personal, 6. CCleaner, 7. Daemon Tools, 8. FWT Connect, 9. Java 6, 10. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, 11. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, 12. Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, 13. Microsoft Silverlight, 14. Nero 8, 15. Notepad ++, 16. Opera 11, 17. Quick Time, 18. Speed Up My PC, 19. Super Anti-Spyware, 20. Total Commander, 21. uTorrent 1.7.7, 22. Winamp 5.53, 23. Windows Media Player, 24. WinRar 3.61. Could you help me? If there is someone who is specialized in computers or things associated with them, I would be grateful if they could answer. What would you change?

I think the D-Sub on that projector is for analog input only. HDMI is digital. Unfortunately as you know the DVD player will not upconvert over anything but HDMI. Solution: Take the projector back and get one that has an HDMI or HDCP compatible DVI input. The BenQ W500 does and is meant more for home theater. Or just stick with component to D-Sub.

You said that it worked fine from a wireless access point? It's possible that the connection to the wireless is interrupting your new connection. Go in and disable the wireless on your laptop and re enable it. That should reset the connection to your wireless. If need a little help you could easily locate it by opening up run and typing ncpa.cpl into the run field and it will bring up your wired connections and wireless connections. Hope this helps.

Help Modding my Xbox 360?
Ok I need help modding my Xbox 360, I Know for a fact I have a BenQ disk drive. The only question is, will a USB to SATA cable work? I also am wondering if theres any other items I need to complete this process besides: A computer, Xbox 360, Complete package of Software ( includes stealth writing, jungleflash, game ripping etc...) disc media and of course games to rip. Is that all I need pretty much? Cause I have a laptop, and i'm not sure if thats ok. It has vista 64-bit also... And lastly... Im so sick and tired of people who answer questions like: I'm not sure, I don't know but..., or any answer trying to steer me away from modding the console.

do yourself a favor, and don't buy prebuild machines.... if you absolutely have to... dell or acer... i'd recommend acer because its basically sold in walmart and if you have a problem it can be returned on the spot so you're not without too long.... get an external drive as well to back up really important photos/school work.... never know when disaster can strike.... with that being said.. you can easily build your own for a fraction less and get more performance and bang for your buck... if you need help picking out parts or questions about building a comp... feel free to im me x50calrampage
2 :
IMO most "Brand" name PC are crap. Building your own not only would save you a ton of cash but, would have better parts to boot. I know that building a PC may sound hard but, it's really not. If that is not a option then get a custom built PC from Alienware or Ibuypower. This way your PC will be 100% upgradable unlike Dells and HP's.
3 :
Get the one with the fastest processor, a dual core will be fine;320gig hard drive,2 gigs of ram. That will be fast enough unless you have lots of money. Brand doesnt matter as they all have similar parts inside-its like asking which is better a Ford or a Chevy. Everyone will give you a different answer.
4 :
Well, you can consider Acer Aspire 2930. It is a recently-released laptop. It has newest processor Intel Centrino 2, holographic 3D cover with Starlit backlight, 2nd Generation Dolby Home Theater, Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint solution, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD and 320GB hard drive memory. I recommend this to you because I just bought it and I think that it is a pretty decent laptop^^
5 :
Laptop if you are on the go alot - Example: Using in at School. Best bet is to go with a desktop if you can(if you just really plan using it at home). They are cheaper, better for gaming, and can be easily upgraded later on. If you go Desktop.. I personally think building your own is the best route. It is usually cheaper and you can get exactly what you want. You can start with a Barebone kit from tigerdirect.com or newegg.com to get you started(usually some good deals) If you go laptop or even if you do go desktop but don't feel comfortable building your own computer... I'd say go with a Dell... I have had good luck with them... I use a Dell at work(so does everyone else in the building). Dell has great customer service imo. Whatever you get.. I"d say get specs around this: CPU Dual Core 2.0ghz or better 2+ gigs of ram and a decent graphic card(don't get integrated graphics)
6 :
Tons of memory like 16GB's ur talking about no money in ur wallet/purse, and really just build a computer. dont think about brands or those kinds of shit just build one. itll come out cheaper then most prebuilt computers and ull have the newest hardware. i would say around $1000. (does not include moniter, cooling system, or add ons.)

Is this a good deal for NZ$1500?
Is this a good deal for NZ$1500?

I don't agree with the price. Dell's XPS 630 gaming desktop is for a USD 1000 with the following specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 E8400 3.0 GHz with 6MB cache Optical Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) DL RAM: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM2 at 800MHz - 2 DIMMs HDD: 500GB3 - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache Video Card: SLi, Dual nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB Audio: Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio Plus you have 1 year warranty incase if anything goes wrong, bear in mind that your friend wouldn't be able to give you a warranty. Sure the PC that I've listed above doesn't come with a monitor but you could get one for an additional 150 to 200 dollars. I'd suggest that you do a bit of market research before you buy your new PC.

Which 24" LCD would be the best choice?
Which 24" LCD would be the best choice?
The only thing i can tell is the price difference but if you lcd monitor experts can help me decide which is the best that would be great. My main purpose of the monitor will be for my ps3 which i will be using hdmi connection and also as a second monitor for my laptop, since i will be doing alot of music and video studio work.

Without doubt go for Sony Bravia! if price is not a concern you can opt for samsung lcd's too.

Viewsonic is a good brand and two of my roommates use Viewsonic monitors. I'm using a 22in Westinghouse monitor right now and it's great. Since both the Westing and Viewsonic have the same specs, I'd go with the cheaper one; the Westing looks better anyways. The BenQ is 2ms faster than the other two, so thats nice. I've owned a BenQ monitor and it served me very well. You can't go wrong with any of the 3, and they all have good ratings on newegg, but the BenQ and Viewsonic will break your bank. If money isn't really an issue, then have you considered going with Samsung? Their monitors are one of the best in my opinion. Have fun!

There really is no best LCD. IMO LCD is one of the worst technologies to be delivered to the market. There are just way too many faults with the technology that outweigh the benefits. Overall though..When it comes to LCD's you have to purchased based on your needs and it takes quite a bit of research if you are dead set on getting the best LCD for your money. If you want to read around on lots of in depth reviews and HELPFUL customer based opinions...head over to this site. http://www.hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=78 They have tons of dedicated official threads for many LCD's. Also you can read on why no LCD is perfect....Main reason though fyi is that every LCD has a strength and a weakness. There is no LCD with everything all around perfect. So you really need to purchase based on it's strenghts that suit your needs. Just look around there and you'll find your answer...Also make sure you read into the differences of TN, PVA/MVA, and IPS panels..You can find that on the page as well. It's stickied towards the top....Here's the link just incase you don't see it http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1039222 That should help you understand the difference as well. If you want you can scroll down to the bottom of that page and there's a link to TFTcentral..Another fantastic site that gets in depth. Hope this helps you out. Make sure you research!...LCD's require it unfortunately. Last thing you want is to purchase something you can't return that ends up being poor. Good luck ^_^...Hopefully you won't get any dead pixels...

I'm with Kamr00z ^^^ LCD's are shite. Aside from lower power use and smaller size, they have NO advantage over flat CRT's. At least you're looking at 24" panels. 22" and smaller are crap as they are TN panels.

Obviously the last 2 posters haven't thought about how LCD's save space on a desk. Who wants a clunky CRT when a LCD will save you a lot more space and deliver great performance(not as good as CRT). The pros outweigh the cons.

BenQ E2400HD
How would normal quality video look on a 24" HD monitor ?
I am looking to buy a 24" LCD monitor to go with my laptop and I have quite a lot of older videos (avi, mpeg, real media, etc etc) that are in a variety of different resolutions. I was wondering how the videos would look or turn out on, say, a BenQ E2400HD monitor. Will it be stretched and ugly, lots of fat pixels, or blur ? Will I HAVE to have true HD videos for them to look good on such a monitor ? Thanks in advance ! As in how my collection of different-resolution videos would look when watched in full screen. Thanks.

They will look the same as they do now unless you have a really old monitor that supports a very low resolution. If you tell it to stretch it to full screen then obviously it will stretch it but it shouldn't do that unless you tell it to. You will HAVE to have 1080P movies to see the the best possible picture because it offers the best resolution.

What computer should I buy?
What computer should I buy?
I am in the market for a new laptop and recently bought a Dell XPS m1530. However, the hard-drive crashed after 5 days. Dell replaced the computer and when I opened the computer, the spacebar key was broken. I sent it back as well and am now back to square one. The Dell was $2150 (improved graphics card, screen, blu-ray player, etc...). I want to spend around this for my complete setup, however, now instead of having blu-ray on my computer, I am going to buy a PS3 and a BenQ monitor. So, now I'm considering the Gateway M6864FX (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8907043&st=gateway&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1213046783376), a Dell studio 15 or a Dell XPS M1330. I am wondering if I should trust Dell again after the two issues I have had with them, but also I don't know if a Gateway is a wise investment. Which is the best buy, and do you have any other suggestions for similar computers? I forgot to add, I plan on using the computer for law school in a few months, as well, I play Wow, flight sim x, and some steam games. Kabuki, does that mean if i buy a Dell from dell.com and it breaks, i can take it to best buy and they'll fix it?

Looks like Dell has done great job of fixing problem. I would stick with them. I have 3 Dells and not a speck of trouble with them. None in all my years at work using Dells either.

If I were you, I would steer clear of gateway. They would not have done half the job that dell did of replacement. You could also look at possibly sony vaio, or even HP. But if I were you, I would go back to dell. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

i am writing on a gateway M-6864FX. i bought last week from best buy. it was 999.99 and now its 750. i really like it. great specs good graphics card. there is also an HDMI port which is very useful. the only downside is the 200 gb hard drive (i was hoping for something a but bigger...i bought a 500 gb external drive with it) the laptop looks really nice. its stylish and different from all the dell and hp clones. solid. the keyboard flex that you may read about is not much of a problem for me, i barely notice it. the gateway is by far the best value of the three laptops. i dont have any experience on the customer service so i cant comment on that. the FX will be more than adequate for your games and at 750 it will leave plenty of room in your budget for a PS3. i hope i was able to help.

BenQ 5000 Mirascan 6.x
the drivers on my computer are not working?
Today for some weird reason the drivers on my computer are not working. I tried to use my scanner it says I don't have some driver installed. Then I tried to open msn messenger and it said the same thing. Then I tried to play chess and the same the thing happened!! Also, when I turned on my computer a lil box came up saying "Run DLL, Error loading C:\Windows\system32\NvCpl.dll the specific module could not be found" The only thing I changed was that yesterday I installed the scanner, it's a BenQ 5000 Mirascan 6.x Can you help me asap please?? Thank you! btw it's a laptop. This keep coming up ALL the time " Warning: Symantec Endpoint Protection has determined that the virus definitions are missing on this computer. This computer will remain unprotected from viruses until virus definitions are downloaded to this computer." I'm not sure I know what that means. Also I turned on my computer this morning and this message came up "Microsoft Windows: .NET Runtime Optimization Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." I did what IBMGuy said yesterday. It didn't work. Did a system restore and nothing happened/changed. Then I found out the type of NVIDIA video chipset I have and such and went to the site and downloaded it. When I tried to install it 4 things were happening upon installation including the installation itself. At the end of it, everything else happened but the installation failed and it didn't say why. I tried reinstalling it three times But it failed, so I shut down the computer, rebooted and tried again but it still didn't work. Also another thing just popped up saying "Microsoft Windows: Sysmantec CMC SmcGui has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." What the hell is going on!!? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

You need to re-load your Nvidia drivers for the display. Check your user manual or laptop spec to see which one you need. Or try typing dxdiag in the windows start/search box then click display, this should tell you which video chipset the laptop is using, then go to Nvidia downloads to get it and install. Please try a windows system restore first to see if this corrects the problem, it's quicker and less hassle. If you have windows 7, Type "system restore" in the start box then restore it from a week ago.

can you get into the safemode? You can just get the hard disk out, install the hard disk to another computer and copy the files.
2 :
Basically it's saying XP is damaged because the HDD has been thrashed around a lot this is common in laptops. So more than likely your HDD is destroyed, so try and open hte BIOS settings by tapping delete as you start up then navigate in there to make the cd drive the first bootable device and put that XP cd in and do a reinstall. However if you want your data I understand some computer stores offer a recovery service where they can salvage the contents of your HDD, so do this first if you have things you really need in there. Otherwise you may have to get a new HDD which is about 60 dollars for a 120 gig I guess.
3 :
use the restore cd if you have any

IT Tutorials- http://good-tutorial.org/
5 :
If your XP disc is an actual Windows disk and not a restore disc, and if your hard drive isn't thrashed, you can do a repair/install of Windows XP without losing data. You will have to reupgrade Internet Explorer if your using 7.0 and you will lose all emails if you use outlook express but other than that all files and programs will remain intact. But before you attempt this, be aware that this is easy on systems that were home built as the builder has the chipset and graphics card drivers on CD and is able to reinstall these drivers after reloading XP. If you dont have these discs available and/or you can't get the specific drivers from the BenQ website, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING! 1. make sure your computer is set to CD/DVD as the first boot device. do this in BIOS if it's not already set up. 2. start your computer with the XP disc in the drive. 3. let windows start to load until you get to the screen that gives you the choice of entering the Repair Console or Set up Windows XP. Do not go to the repair console. This is not the no-reformat reinstall you want. Click as though you are loading a new version. 4. After hitting f8 to accept windows user agreement Windows will say it's searching for previous installed versions of Windows. Your original Windows installation will be highlighted in the box. if it's not, highlight it and select R for repair. If no previous XP version is found, quit setup. 5. After this stage of installation Windows will reboot. Again, don't do this if you don't have the driver CD's available or the Drivers from the manufacturers website. Also, if your previous Windows install is not on the hard drives after windows has searched for previous versions of XP, bail out. hit escape or turn off the computer before Windows setup finishes. Windows will be reloaded and all your files and programs will be there. Just remember to avoid the Repair console at the first fork in the road. This is where most nonreformatting repair installs go wrong.

Basically it's saying XP is damaged because the HDD has been thrashed around a lot this is common in laptops. So more than likely your HDD is destroyed, so try and open hte BIOS settings by tapping delete as you start up then navigate in there to make the cd drive the first bootable device and put that XP cd in and do a reinstall. However if you want your data I understand some computer stores offer a recovery service where they can salvage the contents of your HDD, so do this first if you have things you really need in there. Otherwise you may have to get a new HDD which is about 60 dollars for a 120 gig I guess.

use the restore cd if you have any

If your XP disc is an actual Windows disk and not a restore disc, and if your hard drive isn't thrashed, you can do a repair/install of Windows XP without losing data. You will have to reupgrade Internet Explorer if your using 7.0 and you will lose all emails if you use outlook express but other than that all files and programs will remain intact. But before you attempt this, be aware that this is easy on systems that were home built as the builder has the chipset and graphics card drivers on CD and is able to reinstall these drivers after reloading XP. If you dont have these discs available and/or you can't get the specific drivers from the BenQ website, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING! 1. make sure your computer is set to CD/DVD as the first boot device. do this in BIOS if it's not already set up. 2. start your computer with the XP disc in the drive. 3. let windows start to load until you get to the screen that gives you the choice of entering the Repair Console or Set up Windows XP. Do not go to the repair console. This is not the no-reformat reinstall you want. Click as though you are loading a new version. 4. After hitting f8 to accept windows user agreement Windows will say it's searching for previous installed versions of Windows. Your original Windows installation will be highlighted in the box. if it's not, highlight it and select R for repair. If no previous XP version is found, quit setup. 5. After this stage of installation Windows will reboot. Again, don't do this if you don't have the driver CD's available or the Drivers from the manufacturers website. Also, if your previous Windows install is not on the hard drives after windows has searched for previous versions of XP, bail out. hit escape or turn off the computer before Windows setup finishes. Windows will be reloaded and all your files and programs will be there. Just remember to avoid the Repair console at the first fork in the road. This is where most nonreformatting repair installs go wrong.

A webcam is a webcam is a webcam. As long as you can plug it in to a graphics card inside the PC, try it, what can it hurt? Nuttin. Just download any drivers if needed and start up an Instant Messenger Program. The OS should recognize the webcam IF it is a USB connection. Even if nuttin' works, so what, ya found it.

BENQ for 169.99
which monitor should i buy? :)?
i would like to buy a monitor to plug into my laptop to make it a desktop computer :) I have been looking through the flyers and narrowed it down to two monitors that are on sale this weekend. The first one is 21.5 inch BENQ for 169.99, the other is is a 20 inch LG for 149.99. They also have a 23 inch samsung for 249.99 but i am not paying an extra 100 dollars just for a few inches. The problem is i am not familiar with the brand name BENQ, but i recognize the LG brand name so i am hesitant on getting the BENQ even though for an extra 20 dollars i get 1.5 more inches.

I'd go for a good 1080p flat panel TV (they do these down to 32", maybe smaller) with VGA input, and do double duty.

When hooking up an external monitor to a laptop, the single most important spec to look for is, whether or not the monitor has the same type of video connection that the laptop has. In other words, there are five main types of external monitor video ports that come on laptops, and you need to make sure the monitor you choose has the same one as your laptop. The five types are: Composite video / S-video 15 pin D-Sub VGA DVI HDMI Display Port If your laptop has one type of port, and the monitor doesn't have that specific one, it might never work without an adapter, or another expensive work-around. The next major thing to determine is, what is your laptop's maximum "native" resolution? Laptop video chipsets have a maximum resolution they can display, and that maximum resolution is often the same for an external monitor hooked to the laptop. So, if your laptop has a relatively low maximum native resolution, then buying a high resolution monitor is a waste of money. Find out what your laptop's maximum native resolution on the external video port is before deciding on a particular monitor. Also, a major concern is, "wide screen" versus "full screen". Your external display should have the same aspect ratio as your built in screen, since the video chipset in the laptop is optimized to output in that aspect ratio. In other words, don't buy a super duper high resolution full 1080p HDMI 16:9 ratio monitor when your laptop doesn't have a HDMI port, can't display resolutions higher than 1280 x 768, and doesn't support wide screen aspect ratios (the specs given above are just pure guesses on my part). You could help your question get answered a LOT quicker and easier if you had included what type and model number of laptop you have. As far as brand names, I prefer LG over BenQ, and Samsung would be an even better choice, but they are expensive. Samsung's use a slightly better LCD technology than the other lower-tiered brands you mentioned.
