Maybe Nvidia should start a new department doing R&D on how to make next-gen batteries so we can run our 16-core laptops for longer than 35 minutes when unplugged.

It's very nerve-wracking to take apart a laptop for the first time, but console yourself with this: if you keep running temps that hot, the whole thing will be a brick soon anyway. Taking it apart won't damage the hard drive, so you...

Thanky sir, I'll definately look at that one. If the F is an update, which I verified in some Googling, why is the T still available and the F is nowhere to be found? Makes no sense unless Asus reverted to a previous model to save...

I may be in the market for a good-battery-life yet still semi-powerful laptop for college in a couple months, so I started looking around. Engadget says they tested the Asus UL50Vf with good benchmarks and good battery life... but I...

Can't boot to Windows, get a quick flash of a BSOD with like 6 lines of text at the top (not a full screen text with memory dump and a corrupt driver file like some BSOD are). Reset BIOS to defaults and booted from WinXP CD but it just...

I currently have an Eee 1000HA or something like that, Atom with ~8.5 hours battery, 10" screen, XP, basically an awesome portable unit. I also have a Dell m6400 17" powerhouse monster that is nearly never used w/o being...

This is more for other people's information than my own. I upped my RAM from 2gb to 8gb and when booting afterwards, the system would repeatedly hang before the BIOS screen. I removed each module one at a time, finally getting down to...

I'm going to guess 210w power supply, but it doesnt seem to say on the label. Model da210pe1-00 is where I get my guess. T9400, CCFL LCD (I think), 2gb upgraded to 8gb, 80gb 7200rpm HD and added a 320/7200, 2700m I think I'd be...

Yeah, I believe it. Theres a huge amount of brand new systems on ebay and Craigslist that have only a month or less warranty on them, including the one I bought. Maybe the original owner was legit, maybe not... I do prefer to be legit...

Thanks Gerry. I figured that was what the USH was for and like you I don't use any of that stuff. So here's another warranty question: I can buy Dell Completecare for only like $64. I asked a Dell rep what it would cover if I...
