Dear jgrad; It can be extremely annoying when a computer just simply won't turn on, both for people who use computers and those who have to repair them, as there are hundreds of different potential reasons why it just simply won't work. In order to help you, I will need you to try a couple of...

Dear 6150sl, You don't have to disable the graphics cards; the AMD graphics card is handy for photoshopping, video-editing, video-games, etc. but is quite power-hungry when compared to the Intel 3000HD chip, which will function as the primary graphics card for most of the time. If I were you I...

Well, it is true that software runs in the browser. However, browsers aren't what they used to be. Unless you're a gamer, how much time do you spend on the internet/word-processing? Think about it. Remember, there are also offline apps too. The Chromebook has replacement apps for many windows...

What about a chromebook? They're fast, portable, easy to use, virus-free and have a great battery life. They also have Google Docs for word-processing, presentations and spreadsheets. Furthermore, you'll get 100 GB of Google drive space. Word of warning: Don't buy one secondhand, as you might...

Dear Bandito57, First of all, I'd like to say Ubrales is right. It's possible that you've got yourself a fake SD card. Second of all, if you do have a ''real'' SD card, check if it's unlocked. there's a small switch on the side. If this is not the case, it could also be the type of SD card that...

It will store small (a few Kilobytes) .odex files on the internal memory, which is near to nothing. Remember, in general, the app won't run as fast from the SD as it would from the internal memory, which is why i'd advise moving the more power hungry apps on to the internal memory and the less...

I'd say you'd be best off going for the nexus 7. While it may be just over your budget, it's better than ending up with a cheaper tablet knowing you bought second best. Nexus 7 High-res screen, 32 GB of flash disk space, 2 GB Ram, Nexus (always first to be updated, great quality) and...

Dear brrrr, First of all, congrats on applying to university. Secondly, the most important thing to think about when buying a laptop for a specific purpose is to envision yourself in the situation in which you will fulfil that purpose. I, like you, was pondering about which laptop to buy for...

Personally, I'd get a Nexus; it's just one of the best phones on the market. The G2 is really good too though, and it really depends on what you want (try them, hold 'em, play games on them, etc.) , but keep in mind that it's always better to go for a phone that doesn't have to modified than one...

Dear Aleksee, i'm sorry that I have to tell you this but it is near impossible to force a higher version of android onto your phone. Rooting wouldn't really solve anything, it would only make your phone less secure. Running Cyanogenmod with android 4.0 or higher (android 3.x is only for...

Dear jflongo, the Acer 5003WLMi definetly suffers from battery issues. We bought 4 back in 2006 and each laptop's battery failed just after a year. Next to this, the laptops did not function correctly when we put the batteries in. Two of these laptops were used for videos, gaming, etc. while two...
