<title>using a Thinkpad in Europe</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22556500</link>
<description><![CDATA[My daughter will be at college in the Netherlands for the fall semester. She has an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R51e that is in fine working order, and I'm trying to figure out what she will need, if anything, to be able to power her laptop over there. I have searched the web with no clear results.

Is she good to go as is ?
Will she need a new power supply of some sort ?
Can she use the current power supply, but use a new EU outlet adapter/plug ?

all assistance is appreciated

thanks

<title>Reliable nationwide internet access?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613164</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've got a bit of an odd request. I'm looking for some form of wireless internet access that will work literally anywhere in the US and while on the move. I'd venture a guess this means satellite. That's fine except from what I've seen satellite is rather expensive and while I know there are auto rotating dishes for TV on an RV, I'm not sure if such a device exists for internet. Likewise the stationary dish is huge I've heard.

What I want to be able to do is have internet access anywhere and have it while moving. I'd like something with no caps as I plan to upload a streaming video during the day (two cameras will be local and I want to upload their video to a dedicated server). I know Sprint has unlimited data but I don't know about their coverage in the middle of nowhere. I might or might not be traveling by interstate but if my cell phone is any indication there are plenty of areas with no signal.

What other options do I have? A last resort option I'm holding on to is caching the data and uploading it at night via the hotel/truck stop wifi connection but I'd really like it to be streaming "live" (obviously with a slight delay in there). I'll be in a standard pickup truck but I'll need the bed space.]]></description>

<title>Why the price difference - 2 laptops</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22457795</link>
<description><![CDATA[
Acer Aspire One Netbook 1.60GHz, 160GB, 8.9" LCD
$256.84
http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=425886&pCatg=11986

VS


Samsung NC10-14GB Netbook 160GB, 10.2" LCD - Blue
$416.00
http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=425535
http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=424252&pCatg=11986

What do you think?

they seems to have very similar characteristics - both:

# Intel Atom Processor N270
# 1 GB DDR2
# 160GB SATA 5400RPM Hard Drive 

I see main difference to be the battery:
6-cell Lithium Ion, 5200 mAh (HP)
vs
3-cell Li-ion 2200 mAh (Acer)

one can expect the other to last at least 2x longer - being 5200 mAh vs 2200 mAh

What do you think?

Thank you...]]></description>

<title>Laptops and Their Speakers</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22119750</link>
<description><![CDATA[I finally broke down and got a laptop computer, a Dell Studio 15, and I have to say I was shocked at how lousy the sound is from the speakers.  It's tinny and has no depth whatsoever.  It's also very soft and playback tends to crackle at times.  Now, I don't expect laptop speakers to be state of the art, but jeez, I've got transistor radios that sound better.  I've searched online and have seen that this is SOP for the Studio series, and have managed to get the volume level raised.  I used to have a Toshiba Satellite 5205 and I don't remember be appalled by the sound of it.

I've researched a bit more online and I've seen other complaints about laptop speakers.

So my question for you folks is: are lousy sounding speakers now the norm for the laptop industry?  Do your laptops have poor-sounding speakers?

Luckily, I have an pair of external speakers that came with my Gateway desktop that I can use, but it's annoying to have to take them along whenever I want to use the laptop at another location.

<title>[Distance] Getting online if your a trucker?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22551059</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have been wondering, what services do truck drivers use to stay online and stay in touch?  

What about caps?

Which services are better, and is it better to just use hotspots or a service like cell phone type?  

What about cost?

What about truck vibrations killing a laptop, any brand that is better this way?
