What is the best laptop?

I am in the process of buying a new laptop.
I need one that I can easily complete and store all of my school work on it, store pictures on it, and that I can listen to music on as well.

Have you had a look at the website filters to shortlist a few models. Your budget? Your screen size (small for portability or large for readability)? Performance vs battery life? Desired hard drive space? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Computers-PCs/Laptop-Computers/abcat0502000.c?id=abcat0502000 One thing to include in your budget is antivirus software (I like Norton 360) and perhaps an external hard drive for backup purposes.

What is the best laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
Thanks for Helping me .

I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.

What is the best laptop or desktop to make and record music on?

i'm a muscian and heard mac is great to record on and they all come with garageband recording studio. is their a perticular one thats perfect for recording? and can i customize one for making music if they allready dont have one? thank you.

THANKS! STATION_TWO for the "over-correct-answer" you give................
If I'm honest, the answer of Richard was for me enough to realize where I made a "wrong inference" in understanding color management.
He is for me the best teacher in this case, I've learned something from him because he's talking on my level.
By the way: the english language is not my native language... so my questions should have to be read with understanding of grammatical expressions from other languages >> ("The color management is know by me…").
Again: Richard, in this case, read my question properly and has helped me on my way.

What is the best laptop to run Premiere Pro cc?

Hi everyone,
I've been having a lot of problems with Premiere cc since I downloaded it a few months ago and am now realising the problem is with my computer. I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro, 2.5 ghz, 8gb Ram, intel hd 4000 processor which just doesn't seem to have the juice to run Premiere pro smoothly. If I do any kind of editing, even just colour correction, the footage gets very sticky when playing back in Premiere. if I try anything advanced like adding warp stabilier the program crashes. I also bought magic bullet looks and I can barely open it without the whole computer having a meltdown.
This has been extremely frustrating and has made working with Premiere pro a nightmare. I am now planning to buy a new laptop/pc and am looking for suggestions on what to buy. i am looking for best bang for my buck. While I would be willing to spend over a £1000 I would obviously prefer not to if I don't have to. I thought my Macbook Pro would have more than enough horsepower to handle it and have been left dissapointed and frustrated so would really appreciate some advice from the wider Adobe community on this. I am also open to suggestions on desktops, not just laptops.
Thanks!
Tony

Hi Jim,
I am using it solely for wedding videography so it quite basic stuff. I am filming on a canon 7d and really just looking or something that I can edit the footage with and put on some light effect/colour grading. I am not able to say what level of effects I will be needing to use as at the minute when i try anything other than basic editing the programme has a stroke. Like I mentioned I have Magic Bullet Looks suite sitting waiting for me but I haven't even had a chance to try it out. One effect I really like but know that it is processor draining is some warp stabiliation . There are certain shots it really lends itself to but I just bought myself a nice monpod and fluid head so shouldn't need that anymore.
Last night I tried downloading Premiere cc onto my girlfriends £500 basic desktop and to my great surprise everthing ran like a dream! (compared to my computer anyway). Is this normal, that a cheap desktop would so comprehensively outperform a 12 month old Macbook Pro? I am wondering if there is an unresolved problem with the macbook itself.
To give you an example, if i have put warp stabilisation on a clip on my macbook I have to put it at 1/4 resolution for it to playback and even then it is extremely choppy and sticky and sometimes crashes the programme. Last night on the budget desktop I was able to put it to full resolution and it played smoothly, just like it would if it had been exported.
Any advice you could give on this would be much appreciated. ive been round the traps with apple and adobe tech guys and neither of them can find anything wrong with the computer or the programme.
Thanks,
Tony

What is the best laptop for architectural design?

I mostly need if for revit. I currently have a lenovo thinkpad T61. It has been great but is getting old, and I think it is about to crap out. I would like to stay with lenovo but im up for any suggestions.

Hello,
It might be best to look at the requirements for the architectural design software that you want to run, and then look at which systems match those specifications.

What is the best laptop cooling fan for a macbook pro?

I have my macbook on basically all day every day and I just want a nice cooling fan for underneath it so it doesn't overheat on me

I've never had any overheating issues, even when it is hard at work with several VMWare Fusion instances running concurrently. Just placed it on top of a Roadtech Coolpad (a passive laptop stand) and it's kept its cool thus far.

What's the best way to back up laptop?

Hi all,
This is probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. What's the best way to back up a laptop: hooking up a hard drive manually, or via WiFi?
In the past, I've just hooked up a hard drive to my MacBook Pro, and manually synced it with Time Machine. But, of course, sometimes I'm busy and I don't get around to doing that as faithfully as I should. So, I'm thinking of hooking up a hard drive to my AirPort so that my laptop will automatically sync over WiFi whenever I'm home.
Before I do that, however, two questions:
1) Is that easier to do than the way I'm currently backing up? Or are there problems with that route that I'm not foreseeing right now? How do you all back up your laptops?
2) I also have a Mac Pro on my network at home. Will I have a problem with my Mac Pro seeing the WiFi "Time Machine" hard drive and wanting to back up to it, rather than the Time Machine hard drive I already have physically hooked up to it?
Thanks for your advice!

learn about backups VS. archives, and data protection:
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
excerpt:
Four words: "compartmentalized autonomous redundancy of data" or C.A.R.D. What this means regarding your data is “centralize it, isolate it, and multiply it”. This easy acronym to remember about how to approach your data is a great first approach to keep in mind.
Compartmentalized: separating out your data from your system files, centralizing all static and active files into a location or two to make backups, and archived data easier to update and locate. Centralizing your data collection is the primary hazard to overcome for what usually is the case of data that is scattered everywhere throughout your internal hard drive.
Autonomous: Isolation of data from changes, theft, decentralizing data to safes, fire boxes, offsite and online locations. Importantly ‘freezing’ data onto independent storage media for protection and from alterations, such as DVDs, hard drives, and online encrypted files, or .DMG created files of static data collections.
Redundancy: making copies of all autonomous isolated data such that data is decentralized not only in place and in media storage type (DVD, HD, online) for safety and protection as a failsafe, but each aspect of that failsafe has at the very least two redundant copies.
Data: all files made, saved, created, modified or working on. Important pictures, documents, videos, PDF, financial, personal. Any data large or small which you would not dare lose, which is private, important, hard or impossible to recreate, or most importantly, would take tremendous time to regenerate. Essentially anything important to you, your company, your loved ones (will, medical records, financial information, etc.), friends or otherwise.

HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

What is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

what is the best way to clean a soft screen on a laptop

i dont know what you mean by "a soft screen", but read this: To clean the screen on your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air, first shut down the computer and unplug the power adapter. Dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.

Is/was failing or has failed?
If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.

I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

Hi, i`d like to buy a new battery but i want to know what is the best for my laptop.
I bought this laptop two weeks ago and my battery stopped charging (593553-001, Li-ion 4300mAh, 10.8V)
Thank you

Hello kolyu91,
I understand that your battery is not charging.
Since you laptop is so new, I wouldn’t spend money on a new battery.
Your laptop should still be under warranty and HP will replace the battery.
Here is a link to a number to call HP.
Let me know how everything goes.
