Is there any computer notebook/laptop deals that are 500 dollars or less, with decent or good specs?
Overstock.com periodically has good laptops for under $500, but they’re usually a few years old. Not a terribly good value as for around $800, you can usually find a new one at Circuit City/Best Buy and similar stores.
I have a DV9000 Hp laptop, i think i can sell it on parts, Display, keyboard, Battery, charger, DVD burner, etc…motherboard is not working…i want to get some bucks instead of just trash it..tnx!
you won’t get much if any at all because laptops are not like desktops where parts are easily exchangable. Each laptop’s design is different and that makes it difficult to upgrade or modify.
So unless you can find someone that has exactely or very close to your laptop, it will be hard to sell off the parts for any sort of significant returns.
If I were you, I would try to see how much it cost to fix the motherboard (or if you can fix it yourself), and see how much you can sell the entire laptop for after you fix it. It will probably be an easier sale. You just have to figure out if its worth it.
I want to connect my old desktop computer to my laptop, so that I can access all of the file on both of the computers. Can I do this by taking the cord that connects my monitor to my desktop computer?
I’ve heard that I could take my ethernet cord and plug it into my laptop and my desktop, will that work?
I want to try to avoid wireless networking, but if that’s my only option I’d like to hear about that one too.
Thanks.
The easiest way is to by a Ethernet Router and connect an ethernet cable to each PC.
You do not have to have a conection to the internet to do this.
You should then be able to see the other machine using the "My Network Places" button.
However to see the files you need to "share" the Harddrive to the network.
You do this by "Right hand clicking" on the drive or folder you wish to share and select Sharing and Security and follow the prompts.
All technology has a certain lifespan. Desktop computers may be reaching the end of theirs. Laptop computers are now as fast and powerful as any top of the line desktop. Importantly,laptops are becoming cheaper and cheaper. Desktops have lost their power supremacy and are now losing their cost advantage as well. So how many more years do you think desktops will really be around?
Desktops haven’t really lost their power advantage, it’s just that it’s less noticeable in day to day use.
Desktops are upgradeable and have a wider range of peripherals, most laptops have limited upgradability. Desktops also have powerful graphics cards which are more suitable for gaming than laptops, even those that have separate graphics.
Desktops are also less stealable than laptops and have less overheating problems, so some corporates are likely to stick to them for a while.
There is also a trend for computers in which the current latest, most powerful hardware cannot ever currently fit into a laptop. Once the miniaturization is cracked, it moves to laptops.
But perhaps the most important reason that desktops won’t be made obsolete by laptops is that they will probably both be made obsolete by a combinations of pervasive web access, virtual computing and improved access devices.
PC Express offers many choices but the one I’m looking for is not there.
try newegg.com maybe they can ship to you

The easiest way is fill up your ram slots there easy and just slot right in. Also keep both hard drives for more room but it may be worth goin to a back street computer shop to fit it, Im sure they would not charge that much.
I was looking on dell’s website and saw that you can get refurbished XPS’s for ~$700-800 with a i7 and HD 4850… just wondering if anybody has had experience with a refurbished PC or knows anything about them? I tried putting together a similar build on Newegg and no matter what parts I use its always cheaper to go refurbished.
Any answers are appreciated. TIA
Hey my sister got a dual core xps refurbished and has had no problems out of it whatsoever. Refurbished is just used parts cleaned and fixed if broken. Im getting a refurbished dell in the mail in 2 days. I buy them cause they are cheaper and i havent had a problem yet
I’m looking for a cheap laptop. I already have a beast of a laptop that runs a 2.6Ghz dual core with 4 Gb of Ram but I’m going off to college and need something a little smaller than a 15.4 wide screen. Any suggestions? It needs to be cheap I don’t have much money. I kinda want a Mac but there really expensive.
you might be able to get one at a computer store that buys computer parts. or go to yahoo products or google products and search laptops then sort them from lowest price to highest price and choose one from there.
Im inshallah going to Pakistan from the US, Chiago and am planning to take about 3 laptops with me on the plane[ in one hand carry(carry on)], am i allowed to take more than 1 or no? how many can i take?
You should be fine as long as you meet the size and weight restrictions for carry-on baggage. Where you might have a problem is with the customs officials in Pakistan depending on what you plan to do with the three laptops.

We humans live in close contact with dogs, cats and several other species of companion animals. Living in close contact with ANYONE can occassionally result in problems… behavior problems (aggression, chronic barking, fear) or in management issues.
What do you think is the problem that most badly needs a solution in terms of animals living among us?
That many people treat them like possessions, property, "toys." Loving, & learning to understand an "animal" companion is easier than with a human. & much more rewarding, as their love is unconditional. The things you mentioned, aggression, barking…have honest motivations, reasons. OBSERVE these, explore, & don’t just think of them as "negative behaviour," but what is the cause? I’ve lived in harmony with many dogs & cats. Be as sensitive as you would be to a special friend. Otherwise, don’t choose to live with them. Just answered a great question from someone who is writing a manual. Be aware, understand, (Yes you can!) & have respect.
