Q&A: Do mini laptops have good reviews?

Question by : Do mini laptops have good reviews?
i need a laptop for school, and internet that holds pictures. i don’t have a lot of money, so is a hp mini worth it?

Best answer:

Answer by computerboy13
if i were going to get a laptop, i would invest in something the is at least halfway decent. generally those laptops are running windows xp, which is a decent operating system… but it is almost 10 years old. also, they generally have the memory equivalent of an ipod, so you won’t be able to store many pictures.
If i were you, i would save up for a nicer laptop!

Laptop Battery?

Question by TheWonderbrah: Laptop Battery?
I have a laptop with a 9-cell battery but I basically use my computer as a desktop. I have separate keyboard, and mouse which I use. I have had my computer since Aug 20th, and have not yet used the battery.

Is there something I should do in order to maintain my battery life?

My friend told me to drain it once a week and fill it back up, and I have also heard that leaving my computer plugged at night is bad.

Is this true? And what should I do regarding my battery if im not really planning on using all that much?

I will use it on vacations and stuff in the future, and at University,.

Answer by JDM2
Yes about every other week take it off the charger and let it almost die then plug it back in and that should help your battery life, its worked for my laptop.

Which of these two advent laptops are better?

Question by Mickster: Which of these two advent laptops are better?
Ok, pc world are selling two versions of an advent laptop, one is this one:

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1037858031.1189937478@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceeaddlmmdlddjcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=019570&category_oid=

The next is not on their website, but is the same but with a webcam built in, 2gb of ram and a 1.8ghz processor. Its also £100 more

Basically is it worth the extra hundred and will it make that much difference. Also if i want to play games (half life 2 etc)does it matter that the graphics card is shared, and will the spec of the processor etc make up for this? Do i need the extra gb of ram?

Thanks!

Answer by Etherel
For a windows vista machine, I’d definately suggest having the extra RAM. And think about it: You’re probably going to use this laptop for a long time, and probably quite often. Isn’t it worth it to spend more money now that will benefit you for countless hours over the next couple years?

If you can though, I’d drop the webcam. Laptop webcams aren’t always the snazziest and can be a bit pricey.
