Purchasing a laptop

Hello,
I'm in the process of getting ready to purchase a laptop but I have a few requirements that I want on it. I want wifi and a webcam. I would prefer to have Windows XP on it. At least a 16-17" screen and the big thing is lots of memory. I would like at least 6mb of memory..expanded to 8. I've been looking at the HP Pavillion DV6-1280US 16 inch entertainment laptop, but I haven't seen them on the website. Or do you have any other suggestions with the requirements I want? Thanks for your help.

For that ,price, its such a bargain, and for all of the features it has, its certainly able to grow with you in the future, although I would think this is enough already. Whats cool about this model is that the WiFi has Wireless B/G/N which are all the network protocols for wireless networking youll ever need.
You also have Lightscribe, you can laser etch labels onto the disc using special lightscribe blank media once you are done putting pictures on there. You can put a picture of you on the label or whatever you want.
The memory card reader is a plus for all of your memory card formats, cant miss without that.
What it does not say if it has a firewire port on there or not. While normally its not needed, some people with camcorders prefer this type of connection to transfer their digital video onto the computer.
Overall you should be set.

I am purchasing a laptop with a 4k screen (3200x1800) resolution, will Lightroom work at these levels? what is the highest resolution LR will support?

I am purchasing a laptop with a 4k screen (3200x1800) resolution, will Lightroom work at these levels? what is the highest resolution LR will support?

As Rob has pointed out there is no maximum resolution that LR supports, but performance decreases as resolution increases. I'm using an i7-860 quad core system with a 1920 x1080 (2.1 Megapixel) monitor and LR runs well. A 3200 x1800 (5.8 Megapixel) monitor will require ~2.75 x more processing to render the real-time loupe image in the Develop module. Some people have reported sluggish screen updating when making adjustments in the Develop module with even lower resolution monitors such as 2560x1440. Here's a post that discusses the issue:
The Achilles heel of 4k monitors on the Mac Pro?

Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
Good luck,
Clinton

For some reason, when my Macbook Pro starts up, all of the MS Office applications open. This was not happening when I first purchased the laptop, and I never added these apps to the startup menu. How do I remove these apps from startup?

By default Mac apps do not close when you close the window you were working in. Unlike in Windows when you click the top right X icon in any program is closes the window and the program shuts down. On Mac OS X clicking the X in the top left hand corner only closes that windows and leave the program running in the background. If they are left open and you reboot they will restart with the system and load a window for them.

If your temps are back to normal then the only thing that I would do is to completely uninstall the Avast software. See Thomas Reed's excellent Mac Malware Guide and pay particular attention to the "Do I need a/v software" section. 99% of the time, you don't and Mr. Reed only suggests the use of two av apps.

Windows 7 not genuine, but work since I purchased the laptop.

I owned my t61 for 6 months without a problem, this morning I wake up turn it on and a small window states my copy of Windows 7 is counterfeit. So I can Microsoft, they stating I need the PRODUCT KEY and buy a new one for $199, + tax. I think this is just a scam with Microsoft.
I email the seller and he provided me with a Product key, so I call Microsoft back and now they tell my the Product Key is not valid and I still need to purchase and new Product Key.
Now I have to either downgrade to Vista, if I can get the CD's from Lenovo or go back to XP.
Anything I can do to or say to Microsoft get keep 7 alive on my laptop.

It is an issue between you and the seller of the T61, as Lenevo has never supplied Windows 7 for a T61.
It appears that the seller has installed a copy of Win 7 using a key that was likely obtained at a too good to be true price from an eBay auction (or some similiar source). There are reports all over the Web of eBay sellers auctioing Technet or MSDN keys for Microsoft products in breach of the End User Licence Agreements for those keys. Microsoft later cancels those keys when it detects they are being used in breach of the relevant EULA that Microsoft supplied them under.
It is a SCAM, but not by Microsoft, so talk to the seller of your T61.
Cheers,

I have a first-generation ipad. We just purchased a laptop and I had to change my password as I couldn't recall it

I have a first-generation ipad. We recently purchased a new laptop (not an Apple) and I had to change my e-mail pasword as I couldn't recall what it was; it auto-populated on the old computer. I changed the password on my ipad and the new laptop (no issues), then a few days later, I couldn't send out any e-mails on my ipad, but could on the laptop. I have been around and around with the e-mail provided, and they cannot help me.
Anyone out there with the same problem?
Thanks.

If you had a yahoo or gmail account, we might be able to help you, but Earthlink is the source you need guidance from. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
