Need Suggestion​: buy ThinkPad Edge E540 or wait for Edge E550?
Hello Everyone,
I need suggestion what to do: buy ThinkPad Edge E54020C6003AGE (i7 4702MQ & GF 740M 2GB) or wait for Edge E550?
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-ThinkPad-Edge-E540-20C6003AGE-Notebook.114194.0.html in Germany is price about 830 Euros
I use ThinkPads in last 10 years for study and gaming (R60, SL510, Edge 520) and wish sell my Edge E520 replace it with new one due stuck with old Radeon 6630M drivers (I cannot use a new AMD drivers when I try I getting mostly BOSD errors and latest Official Lenovo driver is from 2012) second reason is that E520 fan cannot be accessed & cleaned on easy way.
In which month Lenovo mostly release new Edges, What is your option are Broadwell CPU + GeForce 840/940M in Edges worth to wait?
In future I try to avoid AMD GPU due poor drivers support.
I know that there is much better notebooks for gaming but I like ThinkPads
To support it the model you're buying should be equiped with the :
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
Wireless network adapters and core i5/i7 cpu's . But careful, not all E540s come with the intel wireless card
Just check this and you're good to go.

Need advice: Buy current MBP model or wait for the new MBP?
I am a commercial photographer. I shoot tethered with my medium format digital camera system using firewire 400 on my Powerbook g4 1.67ghz. I am 90% certain the rumors are true that the new MBP being announced today will not have a firewire 400 only Firewire 800. Now, my camera system is, lets just say, sensitive when it comes to connectivity to the laptop. If I use a firewire 800 to 400 adapter on the new MBP will I be apples to apples when it comes to firewire specs with regards to connecting my camera? Opinions everyone, please...
- Rudy TorresWait until today's event ends, see what results, and if the new MBPs are not what you want, there will still be plenty of the older ones available from retailers (smalldog.com for example). They'll be cheaper after today too.

Should I buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for 5g ?
I want to buy an iPod touch but I'm confused that whether I should buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for the 5g to come ? Please help. I would also like to know when is Ipod 5g likely to come ?
No one knows when or if another iPod Touch will be produced. If anyone claims to know they're lying. Besides, speculating about future or unreleased products is against this support site's terms of use.
For what it's worth the iPod Touch is amazing, and I'm sure you will enjoy many years of use. Every day that goes by waiting for a new one is a day you could have been enjoying yours.
Hope this helps you decide! -

Or is there a certain limit of computers I can upgrade.As long as you control the computer (wife, children) you can share. But only the AppleID that bought ML can update it.

Edge E540: Power Manager for Windows 8.1?
The Thinkpad Edge E540 currently comes with Windows 7 preinstalled, Windows 8 added as recovery disk. It is also suffering from an issue, where the fan will spin unnecessarily fast until going to standby and waking up again.
As a solution it was suggested to use the Power Manager utility [1]. However, the download page [2] lists the Power Manager only for Windows 7 (and indeed it won't install on Windows 8.1).
Does this mean that the Power Manager is not available for Windows 8? If it isn't, will it be?

Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?
Great article by HuffPost Tech.
The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
June 2007: original iPhone released
June 2008: iPhone 3G released
June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
June 2010: iPhone 4 released
June 2011: Nothing!
In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
So there is Reliable Source One.
Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/12/iphone-release-5-september_n_896345.htmlApple has two prototypes out testing now. One is a thinner totally redesigned case. The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it. Hence the delay. The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals. If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5. If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.

Should I buy an Imac now or wait for update late 2014
I'm thinking of getting an Imac 27" (i7 , 8ram, 3tb fusion drive and 780 gcard) "fully loaded"
Il be using it for FCX and some photoshop. Burning blu rays
Beginner editing, (home movies,) and plan on taking some classes in future and do bigger editing projects.
should I pull the trigger and buy this imac, or wait for the update in mid to late 2014???
Thanks ahead of time to anyone taking the time to responding :)if you need a new one now, get one. If you can wait, then wait. No matter what, it will be soon "outdated" anyway. Also, no one knows when a new mac will be released until apple say so. anything else is speculation.

BUY IPHONE 4 32GB OR WAIT FOR IPHONE 3 64GB?
Hey Everyone! I am a student and I really need an Iphone as it makes my life much more efficient. At the moment I am using a Iphone 3G 8GB, and it is old, slow and sometimes not responding. The 8GB capacity is far from enough as well.
I am thinking about getting Iphone 4, however, the 32GB won't be enough for long, as I have at least 12 GB MUCH NEEDED APPS, 5GB FOR MUCH NEEDED MAPS, 2GB FOR FILE STORAGE, 4GB MUSICS, AND 3-5 GB PODCAST/AUDIOS AND VIDEOS.
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE ACTUALL AVAILABLE CAPACITY OF 32GB IS ONLY 27 OR 28 SOMETHING? LIKE IT IS ONLY 6.9GB ON A 8GB MODEL?
In my calculation, I will feed up 20GB of the Iphone 4 right after getting it, and it just have 8-9 GB to grow... and the same lack of capacity problem will happen again,
But I don't know when Apple will announce its Iphone 4 64GB?
Should I get this iphone 4 right away or wait for Iphone 4 64GB?12 GB seems a bit high for apps to me, especially if you are not including maps in that number. I have 3.3 and use a GPS solution that does not permanently store maps. 2 GB for file store sound more than reasonable though. I have twice as much music on mine and could really put less than that on since I listen to Pandora or other streaming radio more often. If you usually get good 3g internet connectivity and especially if you have the unlimited data plan still then you should consider just streaming podcasts instead of downloading them. You can browse to them in iTunes Store on iPhone and then play them from there using the preview button. The last time I tried that it played the whole podcast. I think it still does that.
You may even want to free up more space so that you have more room for taking pictures and recording video. Don't leave a bunch of videos and pictures you recorded on the iPhone either. Post videos and photos you create to web services so you can access them from there instead.
I'd welcome the extra storage space as well, however they had to hold something back to get me to buy the next iPhone release, didn't they? You could just stick with your iPhone and get the iPod Touch, however the better camera and better screen were enough to make me go with the iPhone 4. -
Should i buy an iphone 4s or wait for the iphone 5 to come out
hi, just wanted to know if i should buy an iphone 4s or simply wait for the iphone 5 to come out... Do you know what is going to be new on the iphone? is there going to be another iPhone?
We only know what information Apple has released. The only real thing released is iOS 6 will be out in the Fall. We have heard no official announcement as to the date of that release, nor have we received any announcement of the release of a new iPhone, no matter what they want to call it. Your decision to purchase a phone has to be based on your need at the time and what is available.

I bought a HP computer for a couple of years ( Pavilion a6695it ) It always works well. But in recent days, I can not start up it. I tried pressed power button on the front of the computer, nothing happend. Then I searched in hp site. finnally, I find this article http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00241069&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=it&dlc=it&lc...
In english version the article is here:

Power supply light is on or flashes
Perform the following steps, in order, until power is restored or it is determined that there is a hardware failure:
CAUTION:This product contains components that are easily damaged by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a non-carpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface (like a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to a grounded surface, like the metal frame of a PC.
Disconnect everything from the computer, including the power cord.
With the power cord disconnected , press the power button on the front of the computer and wait for ten seconds.
This is work for me. But now, my computer always need this methond that it can be started up.
Disconnect power -> press the power button and wait for ten seconds -> then the system will start up
So my question: where is the problem? Which part is broken and i should replace? Thanks.

Youli

I Want to buy an external solar battery charger for my iPad 2. Does anyone know the right specifications for it.
Is this one good for me ? 12000mAh Portable Solar Power Battery Pack. You can find it on this link.
http://dx.com/p/12000mah-portable-solar-power-battery-pack-with-laptop-cellphone -adapters-72218?item=37
Thanks.The iPad charger is rated at 10W - 5V @ 2A An iPhone/iPod charger is rated at 5W - 5V @ 1A. An iPhone charger will charge the iPad, but much slower than the iPad charger. Based on the specs, I don't think it's adequate for the iPad.

Hello
I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)
