Hello all, I'm in the market for a new laptop for school. Its my first laptop & I wanted to get something that'd last for the next 4-5 years within my budget ($700-$800). I picked these four off of newegg, just judging from their CPU & GPU:...

If using superoneclick, shut down utorrent first. uT for some reason was blocking the usb connection to my phone a bit (it was trying to add it to its list of USB devices) and I couldnt root my phone. As soon as I shut down uT everything went perfect. Go figure.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should get the newly released Macbook 13" Pro or 13" Air. Ideally I would like the new slimmed down version of the 13" Pro with Retina, but Apple didn't release one :( Im going traveling for 5 months and leave next month, and will most likely have the...

Because we're giving away a single pass to Qualcomm's developer conference as well as 30% off to everyone else who's interested. :D http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/6/5/bsn--and-qualcomm-partner-up-to-help-send-you-to-uplinq.aspx

My carrier contract expires in a few weeks so I'll be eligable for an upgrade. Currenty have an iPhone 3GS, signed a 2 year contract just before iPhone 4 came out! D'oh! Wondering if I should commit to a 4S now? And then probably be 'behind the curve' again for another 2 years! How long do you...

I have an MSI GT780DRX-446 laptop, and recently one of my RAM sticks went bad (it came with Elixr, P/N M2S4G64CB8HD5N-CG). I could have just bought 8GB, swapped out the RAM that was bad (and it's pair) and called it a day, but I wanted to keep all the RAM uniform, so I decided to purchase 16GB of...

Is there any way to update this thing to a newer os? Im so sick of froyo.

I'm looking at buying a new XPS 15 in the coming month due to my beast desktop dying and moving away from home so I want something more decent than my cheap Dell ATG D620 that I use for work. I'm going through the options and I get a discount through member services with my gym (no much at all, but...

I haven't done anything neat computer related in a while so I haven't posted here recently, but I was messing around with my phone today and made it so much better. Are we allowed to talk about android developing and rooting on this board? I haven't kept up with the rules much and I don't want...

I have a friend who needs a new laptop for two things: Sims 3 & video encoding (not sure which program). Both cpu/gpu combos will run Sims 3 fine. My real concern is video editing. Will there be a great enough difference between an AMD quadcore @ 1.4ghz (or 2.3ghz turbo) and the i3 2330m to...

A while back I received a Compaq CQ60-214DX for repairs, however upon telling the person the cost of repairs would be $200 (the laptop needed a new battery, keyboard, and Windows 7 OS, Linux was not an option for them) they just gave it to me...it has minor scratches and some paint chip on the...

As per subject, has anyone else experienced this with these modems? Actually, my modems are models E160E (max 3.6Mbps) and E1762 (max 7.2Mbps), both aimed at the Australian Optus mobile network on GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 900 (3G), and UMTS 2100 (3G). According to Wikipedia, the standard for USB...

Do any of you guys have experience with some of the cheaper tablets that are available on the market? Maybe the kindle or some of the other ones that are cheap on Newegg's website? The reason I ask is this semester I am required to read 3 newsletters and a newspaper every day. It would make my...

Well i was going to go ahead and upgrade and get a new PC set up. But i have since changed my mind and looking into getting a laptop (probably will still get a PC built maybe sometime this year). I'm looking into the up to $600 price range (well try to stay below that if possible ). I will...

Hello fellow XSers. I need your help. I need to find a good text friendly phone for the Verizon network for my mom. She texts a lot and needs something that has a full keyboard so that she doesn't have to hit the same key several times just to type one letter. Smart phones are out of the question....

inverter? LCD? both?

I was looking through a CES 2012 press release from Acer, and lo and behold they seem to be announcing Thunderbolt on their new Aspire S5 Ultrabook. Guess it was high time since Apple and their supporting companies has been slow to develop items for it. More here + pics of the S5: ...

There are a lot of laptop owners here at XS. I'm curious to know if you bought an extended warranty when you bought your laptop. Or did you decide you don't need an extended warranty other than the one that comes with it from the manufacterer. If you did decide to get an extended warranty,...

I'm wondering if there is any way to regulate fan speeds on my shiny new laptop? Speedfan isn't cutting it.. :( Also, is there any way to increase TDP limits of an 2630QM while in Windows?! 45 watts isn't quite enough, the cooling system of this lappy could take more. Help is much...
