hi friends i am looking for a laptop recently and also started a couple of threads in the wrong section! neways my question is which laptop should i prefer:

2)Apple macbook (60k)

what i care about

-Video editing/converting
-Web Designing (Adobe Dreamweaver, Flash, Flex, )
-XAMPP
-Multiple OS's
-VMWare(a couple of virtual machines)
-a lot of coding as i am an engg student. (i.e keyboard and mousepad should be friendly)

What i don't care about

-Weight
-Looks


i doubt about only one thing that this Core i7 720QM has a clock frequency of 1.6Ghz would this affect the performance, as compared to a 2Ghz Core i5 or Core2Duo? coz if i go for a Corei5 or Core2Duo, i get more of RAM plus more Graphics memory...

Comment by any MACbOOk user would be very helpful, Thanks

Guys! A friend of mine, living in Muscat as of now has a 3 month old HP DV6 laptop with a Core i7 processor. He accidentally deleted the recovery partition. Is there any way to create recovery DVD(s) so that he can recover his Win7 installation in case of a crash. If yes, I'd like to know how.
Thanks in advance.

 

[azaad_shri75]

there would be recovery manager installed already in programs, use it make recovery dvds , and if not found download and install recovery manager from HP site.

 

[nmenon]

Thanks. Will forward the info to my friend.

i have a dell studio 1555 laptop which is 13 months old and is out of warranty.last night as i was surfing the net a red vertical line appeared on the left side of the screen and it refuses to go away.i have tried restarting and have updated display drivers but it is still there.what might be the reason for dis???kindly help.screen size is 15.6 inch with 1366*768 resolution.tried talking to the dell customer care and they said i have to extend the warranty by paying rs14000 to fix dis as the screen will have to be replaced and this is the only solution.should i get it done from a local laptop service shop coz i am not ready to pay dis much.the red line is thin and is vertical.i have heard dis is common issue wid dell screens bt da customer care salesman said it does happen bt he is not willing to bargain.kindly help me sort dis out if anyone have experienced the same.
