What is the best way to get a discount on a Mac laptop that is still under warranty?

Question by Mokaddasa: What is the best way to get a discount on a Mac laptop that is still under warranty?
I’m ready to have a good, reliable laptop with which I may travel easily. I go to Umass Boston and I know there is a student discount but I assume there has to be some other ways to get discounts on laptops through computer drives or other companies, websites, orgs, coupons, etc? I don’t mind something refurbished, display models or unpopular styles, colors, etc. I just need for it to be under the full warranty which allows you to bring the laptop to the Apple store for services and repairs.

Answer by Kahless
The Apple website sells refurbished models which are under full Apple warranty. Also try www.smalldog.com. Odds are though you won’t need the warranty, except maybe the phone support.

What is the best kind of processer for a laptop computer? Also what is the best brand of laptop?

Question by TAZZLOVER8: What is the best kind of processer for a laptop computer? Also what is the best brand of laptop?
I am buying a laptop very soon and I need to know what is the best kind of processor. Both of my desktops are pentium, but I hear that those are not always the best kind to use. I will be using my laptop instead of my desktop. I primarily use my computer to game. I am trying to look for the best laptop for me. And I know that how you use it makes a difference.
Thank you everyone!

I have a computer friend who I think I can get to install additional ram… but I am familar with how important adequate ram is.

I plan to buy an external hard drive, so I am not concerned with how big the hard drive is. I know using an external hard drive will slow the usage down a lot. So I know the processer will be even more taxed than usual.

As for price, I am not really worried about it. I am getting this as a gift and was told that price is not an object. The only constraint I am working with is I have to get it from one particular person. Apparently, this person is selling it to the person I am getting it from for the price he got it for.

They just bought a Toshiba Satellite a205-s4707 for 400 bucks (regularly 900) from this person for themselves.

I will have a limited selection of brand and stuff to pick from and I need to basically select the best one for me out of the ones he has. :)

Use a pentium processor (not celeron). They seem to be most reliable, but also the more expensive of the bunch.
If you are gaming, think about an AMD then…

Get a duo if you can afford it.

Brand: who cares, as long as the stuff inside is good.

I want to buy a new battery for my laptop,which shop is best in laptop battery
I have a HP HSTNN-CB72 laptop that I bought over a year ago. I’ve searched on the net and not been able to find batteries that I can buy to put in my laptop.
Anybody know if I can buy a new battery and from where (in the UK)

Thanks!

Answer by MICHAEL S
As your laptop is fairly new, you should be able to get a replacement one quite easy, I would stay clear from cheap ones you might find on ebay or similar, as loads are imports from china and therefore might not be genuine and my not be safe, have heard of stories of cheap ones over heating and catching fire.
PC World or curries are a good start, or go onto HP website, they might have online shop or certainly they will advise where you should be able to buy one.

Q&A: Which mini laptop would be best for my sailboat?

Question by Kay: Which mini laptop would be best for my sailboat?
I want to get my dad a mini laptop for his birthday that he can use up on our sail boat for checking whether conditions and other things. I was wondering, what is the best mini laptop out there that he can connect to the internet to without a wifi connection?
Most of the time he would be using it in the marina, or 1 or 2 miles off shore. We have outlets on the boat for charging it, so battery life (although important) isn’t super necessary.
And, it isn’t the ocean, it is Lake Michigan.

Best answer:

Answer by joe.attaboy
Well, he could have the beat mini in the world, but if he’s far from shore and can’t get a connection, he’s SOL. Even some kind of 3G network would require him to be close enough to shore to get a signal (3G is fed from cell towers).

My roommate recently switch to an iPhone just for this reason. He has some pretty neat weather apps and he used the phone pretty extensively when sailing a boat up from Florida a couple of weeks ago. But, he had periods when the cell signal was too weak to make out out to the craft.

Anyway, consider this first. Whatever you get, get a spare battery.
