Can't Decide on a PC and Question about warranty.

Hi. After seeing ALL that is available to me HP is the one. That is where the problem starts. I know the one I pick will be customized. But do I get the HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1400t Desktop PC or the HP ENVY h8-1520t Desktop PC? I will be doing the average stuff plus: editing photos, movies, burning CD/DVD and looking into gaming (very very new at gaming).
I have a budget my wife wont let me go over.So getting either PC will not be 100% to my likings. In order to get it 100% I will have to get a LIGHTSCRIBE BURNER and a 120GB SSD to add to the PC. Getting the SSD installed from HP puts me over budget and I will not get the extra burner. If I add those two thing to the PC myself will it  VOID out the warranty?
We will also be adding 2 more to the house. Laptop, Ultrabook or Tablet. I don't know which. Everything will need a recovery/boot. Optical drive may not be on all. What should I use; Dedicated Flash/Thumb drive for each or External hard drive(can all three be put on one) or should I make arrangements to put all on DVDs.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

To my knowledge, lighscribe is an outdated technology. There are not many Optical Drive manufacturers with lightscribe now.
Adding 128GB SSD will not void warranty.
Is is recommended to have a seperate 16GB/32GB flash drives depending on the recommendation of the system for keeping the recovery image.
I would recommend flash drives than disks.
I am an HP employee.

  • WRT54G Overnight Issue and Question about warranty

    Well I haven't been around here since I first got my router and it wouldnt work...which was only 4 months ago. 
    I have a WRT54G that I use for my pc and Xbox Live and over the past 4 months it has been working fine, not great but good enough to make me happy.  I was playing xbox live yesterday up until 10 pm, then I went to bed. I woke up today at 6am and went to check my email...my internet connection is gone so I look at my router and NO LIGHTs are on. I unplug it and plug it back in and nothing, try it a few more times and it powers up but won't acknowledge my ethernet card and ALL the lights on it are on, no matter what I plug into which port.
    So I'll probably have to return it as it seems dead? How long are the warranties on these products? I bought it at Best Buy, can I just bring it straight back to them?
    thanks

    Anyone know if there's a no return policy on electronics at Best Buy? I'm going there tommorrow anyways but just wondering if anyone knows in advance so I can prepare myself for battle

  • * Buying Vado HD - 1st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *

    Hi.
    I want to buy the Vado HD. I'm deliberating between the st and the 2nd gen. Can you help me with that?
    Second question, how come the 2nd gen (that supposed to be better and newer) costs less than the st gen?! (99$ for the 2nd gen and 229$ for the st gen).
    Thanks,
    Adam

    CRe: * Buying Vado HD - st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *# To me the Vado Rev3 seems to be trying to get the same feature set as a digial Camera with HD recording capabilty....except the cameras take better stills. I have the below Canon and the Vado HD Rev.
    http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD780IS2--Stabilized-Black/dp/B00SER47Y
    We don't use the vado anymore since the camera is always with us.
    Factor into the price of the Canon also purchasing a highspeed 6GB sd card.
    if you are really sold on a Vado...look at the comparison here:
    http://www.myvado.com/products/comparison.aspx
    Note how they reduced the recording time of the new models to only 4gb instead of 8gb.....however, the newer units nati'vely record to MP4 which is a little easier on some software programs than the AVI container.

  • Satellite M70-340: Question about warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

    I'd like to buy notebook Satellite M70-340 here in Russia. Next month I'm going to move to Australia. What about the warranty in this case?
    Will I have to pay if some trouble occurs?
    How can I recognise a laptop which is officially sold (= i mean legally delivered and has a worldwide warranty)?
    Thanx a lot for your answer!

    Hi
    I dont know what you mean with officially sold and I hope you will buy notebook in PC store and not on the street. As far as I know every new notebook has one year international warranty but if you will stay longer you can buy warranty extension. It must be buying by authorized service partner in your country.
    If you have troubles in Australia go to service partner and they will check if the unit is stolen or official soled. After that it can be repaired. As I said, contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in Russia and ask for warranty extension.

    Hello Godde
    Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

  • I can't decide between the 20" and 24" iMac C2D

    Hey all...
    I am in the process of selling my Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8GHz with 2GB of RAM as I want to move to an iMac C2D. I keep flip flopping between the 20" and 24". The only upgrade I would get for either would be bumping the memory to 2GB. The price delta between the two is $500. That additional $500 buys me a larger screen, better video and better speakers. I am also leveraging my daughter's educational discount.
    I don't use my Mac for business. I use it for email, web browsing and research. In addition, I am a heavy iLife user, except for Garage Band. I use iTunes and iPhoto a lot. I also import movies into iMovie and iDVD. It will be used every day after work for about 3 hours and a lot on the weekends.
    My Power Mac is running fine and has served me well for the last two years. I figured I'd sell it while I can still get some decent money for it (my eBay auction ends tonight!).
    I just really want an iMac. There is something to be said for using a Mac with an Apple display. My G5 was connected to a Dell 2005FPW 20" widescreen. I also have two AMD based machines running Windows/Linx connected to my new Dell 2407WFP 24" widescreen and it is almost too big! Those are used for gaming, development, virtual machines, etc.
    Is the 24" overkill? I don't know. It looked beautiful last night in the Apple Store.
    Thoughts. Comments? Suggestions?

    Hi there. I recieved mu 24" imac on Thursday this week having sent back my 20" as soon as the 24" came out. It was the best decision i ever made. I do alot of photo retouching and editing as I am a photographer and have only just started playing with the computer. The screen makes a massive difference, not only for photo's but for all other things, it enables you to keep windows open at a good viewing size and see them all on screen at the same time.
    I know its a difficult decision as had to convince my girlfriend that it was worth the extra cost, but i am so glad to have done it.
    The 20" was lovely and a fantastic size, the extra 4" is a worthy investment.
    I was worried it was overkill also, but after using it today fully for the first time i could not imagine having a smaller screen.
    Hope this helps, using Photoshop and Aperture means i really appriciate the extra space, but when i browse the web the pages do tend to look a little lost!! ;o)

  • MDM iView resultset problem and question about eventing

    Hi experts,
    I created a MDM iView resultset for my main table as search table (comparison is not supported). When I click on preview I get an empty table ("Found <Tablename>: 0 of 10", table contains 10 entries at the moment). I tried the same with a subtable and everything works fine (all entries have been in the preview table). Any ideas why I don't get a result?
    My 2nd question: can I choose the parameter name in eventing (EPCF) on my own? So if I have Vendor_Id as field can I use vendorid as parameter name? Do I have to define anything in the listener iView (e.g. in detail iView for an event from resultset iView)? Maybe you have a useful tutorial link (please not SAP help section)?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Regards, bd

    It is possible to retrieve the number of rows from a resultset --
    Statement stmt= con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
                                        ResultSet.CONCUR_READONLY);
    ResultSet rs= stmt.executeQuery("<your select query here>");
    int totalRows;
    if (rs.last()) // can it move to the last row?
       totalRows= rs.getRow(); // get its row number
    else
       totalRows= 0; // no rows in the resultset
    rs.first() // set the cursor back to the startNote that the resultset has to be scrollable (TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE).
    kind regards,

  • Type of HDD in Edge E130 and question about msata SSD

    I'm interested in thickness of HDD in E130. I read that in E125 was 7 mm HDD and there is troubles with 9 mm. So, is  E130 similar to E125(E130 is next-gen of this type netbooks, but there is huge posibility that Lenovo Engineers decided not to change HDD type)? Or 9 mm hard drive will work?
    Installing msata breaks warranty agreement, doesn't it? And i have some, maybe, obvious questions amout msata SSD(i've read about installing SSD in other Thinkpad notebooks), but I need some proves for Edge E130:
    1)Speed is limited by SATAII interface?
    2)mSata drive as bootable device will work?
    Last questions are not such important, but i'll happy, if Edge E130/E135 users will share their experience
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I bought the E130 as a travel computer, so I didn't have to travel with my X220T - which is a tank compared to this little fellow. I have the 3358-8dg model of the e130 (came with free-dos but I bought an extra 4GB Ram to up the total to 8GB). The HDD is the usual 7mm think ones as expected.
    I've had my e130 for 2 days now and I removed the HDD it shipped with and installed a 64GB mSata instead.

    I then installed Win7 with SP1 from a USB in UEFI mode (see this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/Prepare-an-usb-thumb-drive-to-boot-windows-7-or-8-i... - installed Lenovo System Update 5 and installed all drivers and software along with all windows updates.
    So, running only an mSata HD and booting from it is not a problem at all.
    My windows experience index is 4.9 due to the Graphics: Desktop performance for Windows Aero.
    The HD transfer rate is 7.9.
    The exact model of the mSata SSD I installed is: Crucial m4 SSD 64GB, mSATA 6Gb/s (CT064M4SSD3)
    I hope this helps.

  • Q: How to properly shutdown part/all of VDI? and question about disk space

    Hi again. I was able to get the VDI to work, but yesterday I changed the ARC parameter both in the storage and the xvm server (not sure in which is needed to be changed) and restarted both machines, to my surprise, the templates and the cloned VM had disappeared, so I was wondering if there is a proper way to shut down parts or the whole VDI? is there a sequence? and, of course, how to then turn everything back online ...
    How to make things permanent or at least, to export them so one can then import them back after the reboot?
    I did not find this in the documentation, the vdi3.pdf, if it is somewhere else, plz provide me with the link.
    also...
    I was curious that I could not see the space being used in the storage server:
    root@australia:~# df -kl
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    VDisksPool 202890010 19 202889991 1% /VDisks
    rpool 58603340 78 58603262 1% /rpool
    root@australia:~# ls -l /VDisks/
    total 0
    but acording to the VDI page, the storage is being used at 3%:
    Storage:
    Number of Storages: 1
    Total Capacity:200.32 GB
    Usage:3%
    how to check this? where is the space being used?
    thanks in advance

    If your database is the same version of mySQL on the MAMP as
    on the server,
    then you should be able to just export it from one and import
    it to the
    other. If not, you could try doing something similar to what
    I describe
    here:
    http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/lazy-loading-tree-example-file-posted.html
    in the steps that start: "Download the rtf translation of the

    I'm not sure, but I think you might wind up having to make
    some adjustments
    to it. For instance, is the user name and password identical
    on your server
    and your MAMP installation? If not, you'll have to edit some
    of the
    connection data.

    This may well be because the type of person who writes these

  • Backing up to external drive, and questions about "clearing up" hd space..?

    iPhoto 6. Specs are below.
    I have about 7,000 photos, and I have to clear out my hd to create more space.
    I have "backed-up" my hd using "super duper" and an external firewire seagate pro drive and now need to clear out space on the internal drive on my G4.
    Here are my questions/concerns:
    How do I go about deleting my photos off of my internal hd?
    I want to continue to use iphoto, but need to delete my current photos from it, in order to free up space.
    Will I be able to get access to this drive in, say 10 years from now?
    Will it be safe to store in the closet?
    When I go to back-up iphoto, will it add my "new" pictures to the old pictures I saved?
    My concerns are longevity, and to be able to access these in the future.
    Should I be looking at another process? Back-up to DVD?
    Thanks for your help!!!!
    Feel free to ask me questions as well. These are very important photos, actually ANYONE'S photos are important......just want them safe for the future.

    jp6940
    You can run an entire library from that external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Now, when you add new pics, that's where they will go - obviously, as long as the disk is attached to your Mac and not in the closet
    The longevity of storage is a matter of some debate. Optical media (CD & DVD) are rated in years, but none have been around long enough to know if those ratings are accurate. My solution to that problem is to burn a copy of my library to DVD twice a year, so that gets renewed every six months or so. I also upload my library to FLICKR.
    I guess the point of backing up is that it's an ongoing process, not a single event.

    Hello guys ,
    Haven't come here for a long time , feeling so good backing here.

    1 when i trying to build the web service client by the way os ,
    * ***static drag and pull the xxport to my code area(netbean6) ,here i haven't problems .
    ** static proxy @WebserviceRef (wsdlLocation="....?wsdl") xxxService it always notice me that can't find the class.
    **** dynamic proxy ,when i coding the web service ,using the
    @Webservice(Name="",targetNamespace="", wsdlLocation="http://localhost:8080/xx/xxService?wsdl") here i met the wsdlLocation errer,throws the finenofind exception .......
    2.questions :
    when do i need to use the JAXB ? and when i want to send the image or files do i need to using the SAAJ ?
    3 BTW, any URL to learn more about the WS?
    Many thx!

    Thx, nikos2008, i watch the link you recommanded , it really help ,
    but the point is i am using netbean6 to build the web service ,so i dont'
    need the wsimport or wsgen , isn't it ?
    ok ,so i will describe it more clearly ...example "SOA using Java web service "

    1:
    If you are not running inside a container, you cannot use the @WebServiceRef
    for injection, but you can still make use of the generated service
    class RequestOrderService,
    RequestOrderService service = new RequestOrderService();
    64 RequestOrderPort port = service.getRequestOrderPort();
    65 (new Tester()).runTests(port);
    ----- what does it mean of "not inside a container "  but if i use this method ,i can success in using the WS
    2: You can use several methods to get a proxy instance. In this section, we
    look at three of them. The most elegant approach involves dependency
    injection specified by an annotation
    31 @WebServiceRef(RequestOrderService.class)
    32 public static RequestOrderPort port;
    it notice me can't find the RequestOrderPort
    3.you can construct a proxy instance for the SEI dynamically by

  • [Solaris10] Chaning login screen and question about JDS

    Hi. I'm relativly new to solaris but I have a lot of experiance with linux and *bsd systems.
    I have two (easy maybe?) questions:
    1) How Can I change the login screen in solaris 10 (i'm talking about this: http://www.netrock.ca/solaris-login.jpg )
    2) How can I acces my JDE desktop from IceWM or the monowindow session ? I have blocked this options from the start menu since it put the load of my system at 100% will the employees logged on that at the same time
    additionnal infos:
    - We are using SunRay terminals with SRSS
    - We are using Solaris 10 for Sparc
    Thanks alot !
    Phil

    Solaris uses the dtlogin by standard, thats the one which' picture you posted. If you wish to change this the best way is to replace dtlogin with gdm.
    This is relatively easy, first disable the dtlogin program. You can do so using /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig (check the helpscreen, you can use it to enable and disable dtlogin). After that the only thing you need to do is enable gdm. Its part of the Solaris' SMF but iirc you need to manually setup the manifest for it first, but a mere 'svcs -a | grep gdm" will tell you more on that.
    The only thing which you may run into is that you probably need to configure Xorg first, but I'm not sure about that.
    I don't quite understand the second question.

Maybe you are looking for
