    Help with getting Bose speakers to work on Vizio HDTV

    Hey, thanks for the response. I did try turning the speaker volume all the way up, but got the same poor sound quality. Volume really isn't an issue, just the quality of the sound. Since the amp you mentioned is $50, would I be just as well off looking for a different set of speakers that...

    Clevo chassis?

    I've been reading a ton of reviews and forum threads and such for the past couple hours, and Sager/Clevo does sound like a beast of a system. People say they hold together well, not falling apart at a breath, and the coolest part is that they say they are easily modified if something fails. So...

    Clevo chassis?

    They will, yes, but I'm not talking about dropping the laptop off the table or throwing it under pounds of textbooks and all that. My Lenovo broke simply from picking it up when it was closed. I went through two hand-me-down Toshibas that didn't do that, and I actually didn't store them in a...

    Need help choosing a brand for my needs (durability question)

    This won't be your typical "which laptop should I get" thread. I have an idea of what hardware I want and all that :) Instead, this is about whether it'll handle my mobile needs. See, I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad about a year and a half ago. The idea was to use it for college and a little...
