<title>Laptop for Gaming/Media</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20494637</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm looking for a laptop do perform the following functions:

A. Stream movies, music, etc off my server and be used as a media center for video (TV) and sound. I have Kliptcsh ProMedias that will be used as the speakers.

B. The wife will use it as her main computer but she does nothing more than surf and play online games.

C. When I go on the road I will need it to play World of Warcraft. I understand that it doesn't require a super computer to run WoW but I do want it to run smoothly.

I have built all my computers for years but I have to admit I am lost when it comes to laptops and my fear is my ignorance will cost me lots of money. My budget is around $1000. 

What do I need to look for CPU, RAM, etc?

<title>Anyone else having Lenovo T61 problems?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20410161</link>
<description><![CDATA[For years I, along with others at work and in my family, have been using IBM Thinkpads with great success, including those made for IBM by Lenovo. Recently, however, my sister bought her second Thinkpad, a nicely equipped T61. She has had a great deal of trouble with it - frequent BSOD occurrences, freeze-ups, etc. Even though she paid for extra warranty coverage, Lenovo tech support has been unhelpful and almost incompetent. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with this model?]]></description>

<title>Ordered a new laptop....</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20434339</link>
<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago I bought my girlfriend and I matching Dell D620 laptops.  So far they've been great little computers.  Mine is used for business and personal; her's is used for web & email.

About a month ago it started acting up.  If I have more than one application open that's a little heavy on the graphics side the fan will ramp up three speeds... after 5 seconds at the highest speed the laptop shuts itself down.  Nothing has been changed, and the filters & heatsink are not clogged.  The was the first thing I looked at!  The only problem I've ever had with this laptop is the non glossy screen.

I've used this opportunity to buy one of the new Dell XPS M1530's.  I had it loaded it up -- T9500 cpu, bluray, 1900x1200 display -- and purchased on Saturday.  After thinking about it I wanted a 4 year wrnty vs. 1 year, and I wanted the Verizon aircard built in.  After finding out I qualify for the student discount I cancelled the order and had to rebuild with the above.  After everything was said & done I got what I wanted & saved $400!!!

I'm still unsure if it comes with a 1G lan port.  I've read some reviews stating 10/100, and others 1000.  Hopefully it's the 1G since I move a lot of large music & movie files around my network!

Anyways, I can't wait for it to get here!]]></description>

<title>Universal Power Supplie Question.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456960</link>
<description><![CDATA[While doing a laptop repair I recommended to the client that her bent pin power supply could be a hazard (the bent pin required you to basicly jam in the laptop charge into the laptop and it would work or not...)

I purchased a 70W 19V universal adapter, and it works. (laptop boots, etc) but the battery does not appear to charge with it.)

The original was a 90W 19V adapter from HP...

Would this be the cause for the failure to charge the battery? I'm just wondering as I'll be returning the universal adapter and they have a few others that I can change to see if this will resolve the issue, but I don't want to throw away my money for nothing.]]></description>
