64 bit laptops...should I buy?

I currently have a 4 year old laptop that runs on 64-bit Operating system and i use windows vista, it has a AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10 GHz 4.00 GB RAM and if helps i might say is an HP Pavilion dv7-1240us.
It mostly works fine, but I have trouble with watching videos online and upgrading programs like Internet Explorer or Flash. I see that most laptops being sold run on 64-bit so I am wondering if I will continue to have these problems if a buy a new laptop, or if I should get a 32-bit to avoid these problems.

Your laptop needs a refresh. You need to upgrade the storage, memory, and install a fresh 64-bit OS. Otherwise, your only course of action is to simply buy a new laptop which will outperform what you have out of the box.

Which laptop should I buy?

I am going to a boarding high school... I have a couple old macs and need a new one for school. Ideally about $1500 or less, a little over is okay. I should only use mail, safari, calendar, firstclass, a little photoshop, watch movies, skype, word, itunes, play some games (im not a big gamer, but maybe a little minecraft or something), dropbox, chrome. I'm okay if its a little slow or freezes occasionally, it just has to meet basic needs. Besides that - there is a chance I would install windows 8.
Should I buy an air or a pro? And with which configs? I don't think I want the 11' screen, but if anyone is in a similar situation, screen size reccomendation is helpful. Besides that - anyone reccomend a wireless kayboard, trackpad, or mouse? Maybe one of those thunder display things? Should I buy an apple drive? Basically besides computer adivce, I want accessory advice.
*Note: I know its under macbook discussion, thats because it made me pick a category*

For a savings of 15% to 30% look at the Refurbished Mac page. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac They all come with the full year warranty and you can buy Apple Care for them.
Time Machine will work with any external hard drive. No need to pay the Apple premium.

Which laptop should I buy that would run AE better?

I'm debating between two HP laptops. I like the one better due to it's smaller size and higher resolution, but i'm a little worried that the i5 won't handle as well as I'd like.
The one i think I want to buy: http://www.amazon.com/HP-dm4-3090se-14-0-Inch-Screen-Laptop/dp/B006OEL9GU
PROS: 1600 x 900 resolution, no dedicated graphics card = good battery life, 32GB SSD Drive, light weight + portable
However, would I be better off getting http://www.amazon.com/Hewlett-Packard-BrightView-Fingerprint-SuperMulti/dp/B004S4DVTQ/ref= sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1331255057&sr=1-3 with the i7 processor and dedicated graphics? Downside is the resolution for the 15.6 inch screen is 1366 x 768, which would be really annoying to work with, correct?
Keep in mind, I plan on upgrading either of the laptops to 8GB RAM anyway, seeing as a stick of 4GB is like $20 on newegg. Would the i5 really be a killer in my performance? the first laptop also has a 32GB SSD, used mainly for OS and cache, i'm not sure if it would even be noticed by AE. If I went with somethign else, i'd purchase a mommentus XT (Solid state hybrid drive) anyway.
If any of you guys have any better suggestions for an ideal, travel friendly (I'd bring it to college classes + trips) AE-powered laptop for less than $1000, do share. I've spent a good couple hours trying to find the best investment.
Thanks a ton!

You need a dedicated graphics card and soon-ish you will need it even more... Those intel graphics are simply useless and too much trouble. That doesn't mean you should go with the secohnd machine, though. The system specs for the screen res do not even qualify to install, if I'm not mistaken... The processor is a non-issue. Even an i3 will be reasonably fast enough for many tasks and with so little RAM you won't be able to use MP rendering, anyway. Do a little more research and find a different model.

Re: Which Toshiba laptop should I buy?

Hey, I want to buy Toshiba laptop, this site review two laptops.
I want to buy One of them But Which one?
[http://www.squidoo.com/toshiba-satellite-l505-gs5037-trubrite-15-6-inch-laptop]

Satellite L505 is very good notebook and with this piece of hardware you can do more than basic stuff.
But I recommend you to pick up some info about Satellite A Series, for instance, Satellite A660.
Satellite A series has better hardware inside, better cam, and fantastic harman/kardon speakers. So with Satellite A660 you will not have just notebook but really nice multimedia machine.
Pick up some info on Toshiba pages http://laptops.toshiba.com/

Satellite C55-A5300 64 bit Laptop Lousy Sound From Headphones

Purchased a Satellite C55-A5300 64 bit Laptop from Best Buy.Speakers work great, headphone sounds LOUSY.Tried 3 different headphones, then went back to Best Buy and tried headphones on floor model.Still lousy.It's not the headphones, or the jack.Downloaded updates for Windows 8.0 (but not 8.1).Downloaded relevent driver updates from Toshiba website.No improvement.The headphones icon does not even show up in the sound tab/Control Panel,or in the RealTek assistant software but the Speaker icon does.Going back to generic RealTek driver from RealTek website.Restarting my computer now.

I went back to Best Buy and tested headphones on the floor model of the computer I purchased.It has the exact same problem-LOUSY headphone sound.I can't believe Toshiba put out bad hardware-it has to be the RealTek driver, which is specific for this Toshiba laptop.I actually downloaded and installed the generic driver from the RealTek website,and suddenly the RealTek card was MISSING in the Device Manager list.So I reinstalled the Toshiba driver, and I'm back to square one.

I've just installed iTunes on my Windows 8.1 (64-bit) laptop, but i can't open it. It keeps telling me that Apple application was not found. What should i do now?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

If i have a macbook pro from 2008 should i buy a new apple laptop?

I need help should i buy a new laptop or should i just stick with my apple macbook from 2008?

if you're happy with your Mac, and it's running like it should, keep using it.
On the other hand, the new Mac OS X Mavericks is due out sometime this fall. If you're thinking of a new Mac you may want to wait until you can purchase one with Mavericks pre installed.
Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.

I just got a windows 7 64 bit laptop. I have a T3 Palm. What desktop version should I install?

I just got a win.7- 64 bit laptop. I have a T3 Palm. What version of Palm desktop should I install on my new laptop? I know there is a program written by Dimitry to be able to use a 64 bit machine. Can anyone tell me which desktop version to use? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The lastest version is 6.2, you should be able to find it for download if you do a google search, you will also need to 64 bit drivers you can get them here: http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpdesk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downloads_category...

Either - if you need the 'ultimate' in portability, buy the Air. But whichever you buy, make sure that you max out the RAM and the storage as neither the Air or the Retina MacBook Pro are user upgradeable.

I opened an email that I later identified on hoaxbusters as depositing malware. I have malwarebytes on my laptop, but nothing similar on my iphone4 what app should I buy? If I run it, will it find or fix the possible malware?

The creeps that generate this code figured that the iPhone since is is selling so well would be a great market for them even if iOS makes it impossible for their code to do anything practical unless it is jail broken first.

Watch the Apple Online Store’s refurb section for non-Retina 2012 models. The 2.9 GHz model is a very nice machine and there were some available within the past week. Check daily, because they go fast. I bought one last summer and I love it, but I am not playing games on it. B&H Photo still has some 2012 models, also.

I don't like the 'non-retina' MacBooks, why downgrade when for £100-£200 more you can get a retina Mac which looks and feels 100x better.
It's hardly a downgrade to those of us who care about being able to upgrade our Macs ourselves if and when we need or want to do so. For me, having a FW800 port is also a consideration.

Why should i buy a macbook pro while the i7 windows laptop comes with more features and with a lesser price??

For me, presonall, becasue the Mac will run OS X, while the windows machine will run, well, Windows. Seriously, whenever given the option, I greatly prefer to use OS X over windows without hesitation. I buy Apple hardware because I prefer OS X to Windows and have since the OS X public beta. Apple hardware is very good quality, but so are many Windows PC (Lenovo IMO makes some great hardware, if picking a Windows machine).
I use windows at work because that's what they give me, but I'd not pick it if given the choice.

Which macbook pro should I buy?? 13 or 15??

I am planning to buy a macbook pro but I don't know which macbook pro I should buy.
Games are not that important to me, however I play games such as call of duty, nba 2k, need for speed sometimes. Portability is important to me because it is compulsory for bringing laptops to school. I am confused on buying which macbook pro because the gpu of 13 is bad but 15 might be too big and heavy.
So which macbook pro should I buy?

Hi Lawrence,
You've point out some of the important factors. For me, the choice would be easy. I'd gladly put up with a bit more bulk/weight to have a 15" display. ymmv

What type of fan should i buy for my MacBook?

Hello.
I have a MacBook white 1.1 2006 Early. If i know good this is the first MacBook.
Core Duo 1,83 Ghz "Yonah"
Maximal Ram 2GB of DDR2
I want to replace the fan What type of fan should i buy on e-bay with Free ships?
I Live is Hungary in Central Europe.
Many Thanks.

I'd like to chime in and offer a differing opinion. The size factor of all SSD's don't leave much to question, but there are a couple other things that you can research and take into account.
The biggest thing to look for after the capcity you want is the connection speed. Your Macbook is last generation compatible with SATA 3.0Gbs transfer speeds, and while you can still utilize an SSD with SATA 6.0Gbs, your connection won't be able to fully utilize the full speed of such an SSD.
The upside is that SATA 3.0Gbs SSD's are selling for much less now on ebay and on Amazon since they are last generation, so you can pick one up on a budget. If money is not an issue and you'd like to spend a bit more for the latest generation SSD that you can transplant into the laptop you want to purchase after your mid 2009, a current generation SATA 6.0Gbs SSD is going to work fine and will also work great in whatever you upgrade to.

I'm a student, should I buy MacBook?

Hey everyone, I'm a student and my needs are a good decent laptop that don't make alot of noise and should be very stable so my documents are safe.
Question: Should I buy MacBook (1.83GHz, 1GIG RAM, 80GB HD)?
Sorry, it's hard to read what is really going on because I see some people do have some problems. I'm kinda hoping that I will hear something nice and good about MacBook, because it does look good the laptop and Mac OS X itself and I'm very tired of old Windows (PC) so...

Hey there! I'm a university student and worked from about 20 till I was / am 25 years old with Windows PCs and Notebooks. I'm still using a desktop PC but as a mobile solution I bought a MacBook three months ago. It's super. The office applications work great (for me: Word and Powerpoint are most important for university) and I've also cut a movie for my sisters school class .
There is this 'fan problem' (which you'll find in discussions around here) but it's still silent enough for lectures and other kinds at school or university. But if you want to watch a DVD during class, the 'insert mechanism' is a little bit loud .
Of course as a 'new-mac-user' you have to get used to the OS but after a short period of time trying and working with it you'll love it!
It IS and looks good... I can totally recommend it!
