Please help me decide on an all-in-one

Hoping to buy an all-in-one soon mainly for uni work. Will also be using it for general web browsing, youtube, watching movies, etc. No gaming. 
These are my options so far. If anyone could please help me decide it would be much appreciated as I am just a student and don't have that muh money.
Just thought I'd also add that I'm located in Australia and the prices below are in AUD.

Biggest screen out of the 4, not so great i3 processor (don't know if it makes much of a difference), plus risk of shipping from US and the product potentially having probems working in Australia in terms of compatabiliy, or for whatever reason..

If you want peace of mind I vote against imported C560. I am not sure C560 has worldwide warranty as first. It seems Idea and value AiO are not sold in Australia, so spare parts availability might be an issue in any case.
It looks nice, but overall engineering, cooling and (mechanical) parts quality is way behind ThinkCentre (M and E series).
If you are student, you can buy E73z at educational pricing directly from lenovo - the first option costs 863 or so then, not 899. If you will use it just for "normal" work, then i3 might be just fine (it is 100$ cheaper). Any M92z is also good choice (just CPUs are one generation old)
The M92z is now on sale on ebay for the next three days for $539.   That is a heck of a deal assuming it is not refurbished.  The only negative as Toruk mentioned is the processor is one generation old.  But I have an i5 processor in an M90z and I use it for the exact same things mentioned in the original post in this thread.  I don't have any issues. 
The E73z is on sale on the Australian Lenovo website right now for $799.  It comes with everything probably neede including an i3 processor.

  • HELP! Without any prompting for such a download, Firefox tells me 'Thank You for choosing Firefox 4', & I have lost ALL of my bookmarks! I absolutely need to restore them, please please help. Not impressed at all!

    I am shellshocked.... so far I am not happy with Firefox's latest effort. When I first got this version, my 'saved tabs' function did not work, which I use regularly, and I lost vital site information with the update. I figured out how to fix this by changing a setting, and figured my problems were over.
    But NOW without any prompting from me, Firefox re-opened, having lost the tabs I had, yet again, and instead opened up two new tabs, 'Welcome to FireFox' (ty for choosing firefox4), and 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', AND I have lost all my bookmarks!, WTF! Please help me to restore them, I have tried the help info provided, but they are still not restored :( Some of those treasured bookmarks, an extensive list, I will never get again, unless I can restore the ones I had. :( NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • Please help me deciding the storage for RAC !!

    Hello,
    I am looking for some help to decide hardware in order to install 10g R2 RAC. I have two IBM P5 series boxes with IBM - D24 Storage (SCSI storage). I followed Oracle's Clusterware installation guide. It says you have to create Physical Volumes in "Concurrent Mode" which my system does not support. even if i import this Physical vol with LVs in Concurrent mode it gives error as this is not an concurrent PV. I found that HACMP is needed to do this. But same time i found that HACMP is not needed ... I am very much confused.
    Can we take SAN and get rid of this kind of problem ? is there any software with SAN for concurrency ?...
    If you have any suggestions highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    1. I think what Ashok was saying is that you don't need to put these disks under the volume manager at all--just address them as raw disk devices. I don't recall where the raw disk devices are found on AIX, but you shouldn't have to do any importing or creating of physical volumes in order to use ASM.
    2. I think all the storage arrays I've used have allowed access from more than one host. It's usually an access control list or something similar.

    I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11. I don't know what happend but when I started my computer today all my personal settings were set back to the default settings, all my emails and addresses are gone, and in Safari all my bookmarked pages are gone. I did a search here for relevant solutions but it seems most issues have to do with converting to 10.4. I'm begging...... Can anyone please help me recover this info?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Please help in deciding what to buy :S

    Hey everybody, i really need an answer for a dillema. I'm currently plannig to sell my desktop and get a macbook pro/air laptop, but the thing is, with money i have i will be able to get a 2009 macbook pro model 15, 2.66 core 2 duo, 500 GB, 4 GB RAM and dual nvidia graphic cards 9400 and 9600 at best. I currently also have an iPhone 4S and the iPad 4 (for less than a month), and i'm thinking selling it as well and get one of the newest 13 inch macbook airs, because as much as i love the iPad, i think the new air is light enough to be used in similiar manner, while adding functionality. I primarily use my iPad for reading, web surfing, games, e-mails, some minor document editing as the touch keyboard can't really be used for long typing etc. I need your help in deciding as i've never used any Apple laptops and therefore i don't know how fast each model is. I don't plan to use it as a gamer laptop, though i might play games like DOTA 2, nothing more intensive. So, the main question comes down to, should i sell my PC and get a 2009 mac pro and keep the iPad, or sell both PC and the iPad and get a new air, to fuse both worlds (also, is the new macbook air really fast enough to substitute my 3.0 GHz dual core, ati radeon hd 5670 old PC, disregarding gaming?). Thanks .

    OK, those are three very different computers, all very capable.  The 17" is a very large, heavy machine so if one goal is to replace the iPad you would have a much less convenient machine to carry around.  While it is still portable, you may find yourself not wanting to carry the weight around and end up looking at another iPad.
    The 15" is a very nice machine, lots of expansion options.  You can add more memory to take it to 16 GB if you need to do so.  The info says it has SSD so you have excellent speed, but may want more storage space than that one offers.  An external hard drive, which is hard to take with you, is a great option when at your home or someplace for a period of time.  And external hard drives are relatively inexpensive.  Take a look at those offered by OWC, I have three of their 2 TB Mercury Elite Pro drives.
    Which brings us to the MBA...that is a very nice machine, Intel i7 processor is very good, enough ram to work well, and the 512 GB SSD gives a good amount of storage space.  And it is fast storage.  Some quote numbers of 5 to 7 times faster than a standard hard drive.  And, of course, you could use an external hard drive as with the MBP if the Air is one of the models with a USB or FireWire port...you might want to check on that.
    So, my view is the choice is between the Air and the 15" MBP...one can be expanded, the other is light and easy to carry.  Both would meet your needs very well.  The Air would be a closer in size and weight replacement for the iPad.

  • Suddenly today both my iphone and ipad will not connect to wifi.. I have never had any problems before.  Please help.  Should I reset all my settings?  Should I reset network settings?  What should I do?

    my iphone and ipad will suddenly not connect to wifi....
    Never had any problems before?
    Should are reset all my settings?
    Should I reset all network settings?
    Please help!

    With any wi-fi network or with your wi-fi network?
    If your wi-fi network, try resetting the wireless router and modem. Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by re-connecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before re-connecting the wireless router to the power source and allow it to reset with the modem before trying again.

  • Can someone please help. I noticed that all my calendar events have completely disappeared :( I made sure that under settings "mail/contacts/calendars", that under sync it is "all events". Not working.

    Can someone please help. All calendar events have completely disappeared from my iphone. I tried troubleshooting. Made sure that in settings, the "mail/contacts/calendars", that under "sync" it was checked off "all events". But it was like that already. Nothing seems to be working. Are my events lost now? I'm stressing. Lol. Thank you.

    Check settings > iCloud > calendars.  Is it on or off?

    I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
    I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

  • Please Help Ipod video wont Copy all songs

    My Ipod will not copy all of my songs on I tunes it will only copy 350mg out of 23gb of media. It is not my computer I have tried this on other computers with different songs and media with the same outcome.

  • Please Help Me Decide MacAir Options

    I will be purchasing my first Mac soon.  My old Toshiba laptop has died and I am currently using my ipad for all my computer needs.  Since they are most basic, it actually does very well but,call me spoiled, I still want a laptop.  I only use a computer for email, web surfing, paying bills, managing bank account and one budget spreadsheet and the iPad is handling that.  I also have an hp wireless printer for the iPad.  Occasionally I want to scan something and the hp is an all in one but I am just not happy with taking a pic with the iPad as a feeble scanning option.  Nor do I like any scanning app.
    My question tho is how much SSD storage should I get.  Using the iPad, I started out as totally computer illiterate and have advanced quickly thru its capabilities, at least enough to please myself.  Therefore I am wondering if I will do the same with the MacBook Air and need more storage in a year or so.  But then again I don't want to be foolish when I really don't really need one to begin with.  I don't play games, edit photos and am certainly not a developer.  Don't want to even have windows on it.
    Sorry for the book and I certainly know no one can really know what I need, just asking for opinions.  Thank you.

    Having a total stranger guesstimate your storage needs is tricky. On one hand I can speak from my own personal experiences (trials & errors) but on the other hand the odds that my usability matches your needs is usually quite low.
    I'm going to assume (as the model of MacBook Air you're considering was not mentioned) that you're looking at a model with the 128GB drive. Personally, I feel that the 64GB SSD (standard in the $999 11" MBA) is a travesty.
    When you factor in the OS and applications (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie) and suites like Office you can quickly turn that 64GB into not much free space for media or other "entertainment."
    The other problem is, the ability to upgrade the internal storage on the MacBook Air is a little bit tricky. First off, it's not cheap and secondly there's one aftermarket vendor that makes one solution (in different capacities). The lack of competition in this sector means if you don't like your choices you're out of luck. Even worse the lack of competition pretty much means they can charge whatever the heck they want.
    So for 99% of Macbook Air owners, who will never go this route, what you've got from the start is what you'll have for the life of the unit. Plus if you intend to hold onto this machine for several years then you have to try to anticipate what your needs might look like a year, two, three or even four years into the future.
    Three years ago I could fit my entire life on a 8GB thumb drive, I'm over 6TB of media now and have a mini server farm in my spare bedroom. I would have NEVER anticipated something like that if you had asked me three years ago. I also understand and acknowledge that spending hundreds of dollars to upgrade the storage for something you may never use is frivilous and seems wasteful. So it's one of those, "between a rock and a hard place" scenarios.
    How much media do you currently have? By media I'm referring to the sum of movies, tv shows, music and pictures. Furthermore, how much of that content has been added in the past 8-14 months? Do you consume a lot of media? Are you regularly buying music or albums? Do you rent, watch or pirate a lot of movies and or tv shows? Do you have a large or extensive DVD/CD media library currently? What about camera equipment? Do you own a DSLR? Plan to own a DSLR? Ever want to get into photography? Those sorts of things, those unknown variables need to be explored a bit to see if your needs might be changing in the next 8-14 months to where your internal storage needs might suddenly change with them.

  • Help with Epson and HP All-In-One Drivers

    I've been looking through the forums for a day and not really finding what I'm looking for, so I decided to post...
    Running an AE-N for a Macbook, a Powermac, and a Powerbook.
    I've got two printers...an Epson R200 photo printer and an HP PSC 1410 All-In-One printer/scanner. I'm not worried about the scanning so much as the actual printing, both wirelessly and wired. I have no problem adding the printers...they pop up effortlessly in the printer setup through bonjour. But once I actually try to print to them, they endlessly search for the printer ("Looking for printer Epson R200"). Didn't think this would be a problem because they were found so easily by the AE.
    I've read all the iFelix stuff posted and granted, I haven't tried the GIMP method just yet, but the R200 at least should be printing right out of the box, correct?
    The printers are plugged into a USB hub and I've got an external HD plugged in as well...no problems with it. Any help would be appreciated...

  • Please help with combining two java packages into one iteration

    Hello, I work for a pharmaceutical company and run reports for credits that we have received. Currently the packages are reported seperately from the credit reports and my job is to combine them. There are two models that handle these and I need to link the second to the first with some common entities. Please help me figure out what I need to do in order to add a credit column to the report. I have a sample of the code below and would appreciate any help you can offer.
    First, the info pulled about the boxes:
    rm = (ReportManager) ManagerFactory.getManager(ManagerFactory.REPORTS);
    items = rm.getRVSSearchResults(hvstoresid,
    hvstoregroupsid,
    String.valueOf(request.getParameter("price_type")).trim(),
    String.valueOf(report_by).trim(),
    vendor_type,
    String.valueOf(request.getParameter("vendor")).trim(),
    from_date,
                        until_date,
    debitNum,
                        processing_type,
    sort_field,
    sort_direction,
                        includeAll222s).iterator();
    Second, the page that has the data i need to transpose to the first:
    PackoutModel pm = null;
                             int iter = searchpageposition*resultPageSize;
                             while (iter < packouts.size() && iter<(searchpageposition*resultPageSize)+resultPageSize)
                             { pm = (PackoutModel) packouts.get(iter);
                                  BigDecimal invoiceAmt = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getInvoiceAmt(),"0.00");
                                  BigDecimal creditRec = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getAmtReceived(),"0.00");
                                  BigDecimal processingFee = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getProcessFeeTotal(),"0.00");
                                  BigDecimal shippingFee = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getShippingHandlingFeeTotal(),"0.00");
                                  BigDecimal balanceDue =(invoiceAmt.add(processingFee.add(shippingFee))).subtract(creditRec);
    All that I need from the second page is to get a value for:
    DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getAmtReceived(),"0.00");
    which I believe must first have the store id, etc equal to the first model. So there is the existing rvs.FOO and the needed pm.BAR but since it is in an iter loop, I can't seem to figure out how to join the two.
    Any ideas?

    could you explain your problem with a simplified schema or a more
    understandable code.
