Why should I buy Toshiba in the future?

I want to ask what is the point of buying Toshiba for the future? What should motivate me? I know that their laptops have quite cheap price for the products they include, but with such a terrible support?
I have Qosmio F50-125. I bought it 3 years ago. Since I bought it, the DRIVER support was TERRIBLE. For all those 3 years, they released for example only 1 DRIVER for the video!!! ONLY 1!!!!!! At 28/07/08 (for Vista).
Of course there is a "New" driver for windows 7 from 2009. But that's all! When you buy a product, you expect to have a good support. Specially when Toshiba guarantee is "1 year no-matter what + 3 years abroad warrenty". You expect to have support atleast for 3 YEARS when you get a 3 year guarantee, but no, they update the drivers for the 1st year and that's all!
+All the new updates (which are 2,3, for the Bluetooth and Wireless) are for Windows 7. This laptop is originally sold with Windows Vista. Nowhere says if there is an option for upgrade. I called and asked at Toshiba if I can upgrade it (if they provide this service) and they answered that they don't know!!!! Still no response.. And if you download the drivers from the developers page (nvidia in my case) the guarantee falls of!
So when you buy Toshiba you get:
Pros:
-1 year no-matter what guarantee + 3 years abroad guarantee
-Cheat price for relatively good laptop
Cons:
-NO DRIVER SUPPORT
-Not allowed to open the computer or give it to any company to be Cleaned for avoiding HEAT problems, except Toshiba
-Lots of Toshiba programs, that make faults to your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless
When I was buying this laptop it costed 1015euro. Not the cheapest, but definitely not from the expensive class. Now I'm thinking to buy a laptop for 1000-1500euro. Should I waste those money for Toshiba?
Buy a new high-end computer, have support only for the first year and after 2 years having the same problem? If I was buying it only for studying and work, all of this wouldn't matter for me. But I'm using it for creating music, graphic designs and in the free time play games.
P.S. I love my laptop, 3 years old, and still runs great. Photoshop, Fruity Loops, all work well + I can even play Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3. But the Airflow design....... awful. It's build in such a way, that each 3,4 months you need to clean it, to avoid +100 GPU temperature. The normal one is 90 ;) which I think is quite bad.

Regarding the display driver support:
I agree with you the graphic card drivers for the gaming notebooks should be released and updated regularly because most new games requires the newest driver version.
But I noticed also, that display drivers from other notebook manufacturers are not updated regularly and in most cases the usage of original graphic drivers from GPU manufacture pages is necessary.
> Not allowed to open the computer or give it to any company to be Cleaned for avoiding HEAT problems, except Toshiba
I think all computer/notebook manufactures dont allow to open and to disassemble the own products. This is because the disassembling procedure is always tricky and there is a risk of part damage. I think this is understandable...
> Lots of Toshiba programs, that make faults to your system, one of them Toshiba Tempro - totally useless
I noticed that every notebook manufacture installs own tools and utilities in order to control the notebook features. The point is that notebooks are different to the common desktop PCs and notebooks support a lot of additional features: Eco modes, multimedia buttons, additional power saving features, HDD security options, etc
So a preinstalled software is not really a disadvantage but of course, you can remove this from the system but this means that you would not be able to use such features.

With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

For me, presonall, becasue the Mac will run OS X, while the windows machine will run, well, Windows. Seriously, whenever given the option, I greatly prefer to use OS X over windows without hesitation. I buy Apple hardware because I prefer OS X to Windows and have since the OS X public beta. Apple hardware is very good quality, but so are many Windows PC (Lenovo IMO makes some great hardware, if picking a Windows machine).
I use windows at work because that's what they give me, but I'd not pick it if given the choice.

Why Should I Buy Another Mac Book Pro

I purchased a Mac Titanium Powerbook back in the day when it was so fresh and new, big bucks. Within 2 years the logic board began freezing all the time. It was fixed with big bucks again. 2 years later the laptop began doing the same thing, freezing up and so I went along with the extremely annoying issue.
When the Mac Book Pro came out I decided to start fresh with a new computer, with big bucks of course. Guess what happened 2 years later as i lived in another town, took it to another Mac repair place. They told me the Logic board was dead. So after big bucks I replaced it, so rediculous. And now, 2 years later it is freezing again, not only that, I can't connect to my wifi anywhere I want to in my own place with my own internet. I have to walk to certain spots in my place so my Mac Book Pro will communicate with my router that always worked with the new Mac Book Pro since day 1. But, after these updates Apple puts out to better the system, at some time it borked my internet connection. Reading these boards and seeing similar problems with other Apple users and seeing there is no solution is decerning. Then seeing a new security update from Apple about detecting virus popups and nothing addressing it's wifi issue is the last straw for me.
My wife bought a Toshiba 4 years ago and we put win7 on it when it came out since vista is disgusting. There isn't one problem with her laptop, nothing. And you can run still get on the internet with a laptop that runs win98. I cant even load a page when I get on my Mac Titanium Powerbook, that has to be connected to the internet via ethernet cable becuase detecting wifi on that is something that never occured, even though it should.
I am on the fence, Mac vs PC? Pricey vs Something that breaks less?
So why should I buy another Mac computer?

I don't think the experiences of a place where people discuss problems is necesarily an indicator of the overall populace using the product. Just as if you went to a hospital, you could not ascertain the relative overall health of everyone who is not in the hospital.
Statistically, you are probably an ideal candidate for a MBP, as it is extremely unlikely that you would have another problem of similar character. That is of course assuming that nothing you are doing is cutting short the life expectancy of your computers.
I am on my 4th MB variant, and have only had one major issue, which was handled terrifically by Apple. However, I am not entirely without worry that an electromechanical device nmade by humans can't fail. That is why I also have had AppleCare on everything.
But we differ in one great respect, I think. I figure that any computer i buy has a maximum life expectancy of 3 years. I have never used a computer longer than that, and I am routinely trading up within that time period. This time will be different though. I've only had my MBA for a little over 6 months, and It can't come any sooner that I'll move to the new one in about a month, if it nears my expectations.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the value you place on longevity. But I really think that unless your activities are especially harsh in a physical manner on your computers, then it is unlikely you will have the same experience once more. I do beleive that the current units are as good or better than anything Apple has had in their notbooks, in terms of quality.
But it is your decision,, that should be based on ALL facts and not just the experiences of those who visit a help forum.

Why should we create index on the table after inserting data ?

Please tell me the Reason, why should we create index on the table after inserting data .
while we can also create index on the table before insertion of the data.

The choice depends on a number of factors, the main being how many rows are going to be inserted in the table as a percentage of the existing rows, or the percentage growth.
Creating index after a table has been populated works better when the tables are large or the inserts are large for the following reasons
1. The sort and creation of index is more efficient when done in batch and written in bulk. So works faster.
2. When the index is being written blocks get acquired as more data gets written. So, when a large number of rows get inserted in a table that already has an index , the index data blocks start splitting / chaining. This increases the "depth" of the inverted b-tree makes and that makes the index less efficient on I/O. Creating index after data has been inserted allows Orale to create optical block distribution/ reduce splitting / chaining
3. If an index exists then it too is routed through the undo / redo processes. Thats an overhead which is avoided when you create index after populating the table.

Why Should I Buy A Macbook?

Hi i have always wanted an Apple Mac-book i don't know why and i don't know which one to get. Any Ideas.I have viasted the Apple store and i the very helpful staff suggested i buy a Mac-book Air ( Is this the right choice) I am asking you Apple helpers and experts to help as i have no idea were to start although i do now what i would want to use it for.
Film-making and DVD watching ( Although the Mac-book air comes with no disc drive but a add for £65 is it worth it)
Photo Editing and Viewing ( 13 inch is the only air model to come with a SD slot)
General ( Word,Excel and the everyday things )
Music and iTunes and traveling
With all that in mind what memory should i buy as a 13 inch with 256 GB is £999 not including the accessorizes and the DVD player plugin
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers my questions

One of the first things you mentioned is movie creation and watching DVD's.
You might consider purchasing the older but still available mid 2012 13.3" MacBook Pro model 9,2 that includes both built-in DVD and an SD card slot.
The benefits are that you would not need to carry a separate DVD drive, and the 9,2 is one of the few remaining Mac computers still designed to permit the end user to open the computer and self-install higher capacity RAM and replace the internal hard disk or SSD drive with a higher capacity model in the future.
The penalties are that model 9,2 weighs substantially more (about 4.5 pounds/2.0kg, versus 3.5 pounds/1.6kg for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and 3 pounds/1.4kg for the MacBook Air), has shorter battery life, lower resolution 13.3" 1280x800 screen, slower WiFi ('802.11n') and has less peak processor performance. If you are a student and carrying it around daily in a backpack, the shorter battery life and extra weight probably negate any benefit of a built-in DVD drive. If the computer will 'live' primarily on a desktop, then extra weight and shorter battery life are probably not a concern.
If you select a MacBook Air or Retina MacBook Pro, I'd purchase it with at least 8GB RAM installed, not 4GB.
RAM in these two models is soldered in at the factory and simply not designed to be upgraded, ever. In my opinion, 4GB is not enough to ensure that future OS X upgrades will run well.
I'd select a minimum internal storage drive of 256GB. SSD is preferable for a computer that will be transported frequently, although my son carried a mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a 500GB internal hard drive through 4 years of college without incident.
I'd also immediately plan to purchase a 500GB or 1TB or larger USB-attached portable external hard drive to hold music, photos, and movies. I'd also suggest purchasing a 2TB or larger external USB or Thunderbolt-attached desktop hard drive exclusively for Time Machine backups. Yes, those two items add to the total cost, but both are fairly essential to the long-term use and enjoyment of your system. By keeping music, photo, and movie libraries on an external drive, you needn't pay a premium price for the huge amount of internal storage that those collections will eventually grow to fill. And the price of external drives keeps dropping, so when you DO fill one, you can purchase a larger one and transfer your existing libraries.
Apple sells refurbished MacBook Pros (and most other recent Apple devices) that are identical to brand new products, have the same 1-year full AppleCare warranty, and are typically priced at savings from 5% to 15% or greater, directly from the Apple website.
Although no MacBook Pro 9,2 models are currently listed, the UK link to the Apple Refurbished models is:

Why should I buy another macbook?

Apple is incredible with both their software and the physical design of their products. HOWEVER, since owning my macbook which is three years old I have already had to replace the battery, my wife has also had to replace her macbook battery, and now my friend with a 1 year old macbook pro is having battery issues and needs a replacement. In addition, now my OS won't even boot up. This is so dissappointing because I previously had a dell laptop that I got 6 years out of never needing a new battery or having it cease to start up till it's last day. I don't mind paying more for a superior product but my macbook experience has not been superior with regards to performance. As much as I like apple I'm ready to get a PC laptop for half the price and without such a consistant record for battery failures and limited years of use.
I know apple care is out there but I take incredible care of my belongings and computers. I have yet to need insurance on any electronic item I have ever owned due to personal misuse and find it wrong on principle that I would need to buy it because a manufacturer has a track record of regular manufacturing problems.
Is anyone else dissappointed with long term use of apple products? The online forums are full of these battery and OS loading issues, which further discourages me. Anyone else considered or left apple and moved to PC? Why should I continue to buy another product from them? Anyone switched from Apple's OS to Ubuntu?
-Jason

As a PC veteran of 11yrs, I switched to Mac last year and got my first Macbook Pro in August 2010. I must say, after using Snow Leopard for almost a year, I am NEVER going back to PC. Honestly, I feel if you want to switch back to PC because of price, that's ok. But switching over reliaility issues w/ Macbook Pro, I can't agree on.
I would like to start by saying I DON"T WORK FOR APPLE
Now, the new Lion is coming out next month which is going to bring over 250 feautures to the Mac and even more stable.
Plus, statics show that over time, Mac computers last 3 to 4 times the average PC life span. I too can vouch on this as a PC user of 11 yrs.
My leaving apple, you leave 1 Cutstomer support, a company known for the best is build quality, and the most Advanced operating system on the planet.
I would advice you to take a look at the preview of " WINDOWS 8 ".
Moreover, I recently updated my 2010 13" Macbook Pro to a 2011 13" one and I can concur that you WILL NOT be disaapointed with the New Sandy Bridge implemented in the New Macs. Plus due to Mac AWESOME resale value, I was able to sell my old 13" one on eBay for $1099.
Tell me which PC sells for that much
The choice is urs.

HT204370 Why should I buy the movie in English and in my language (Slovak) as a separate purchases?

Here is a screen shot from my iPhone. There is finaly a movie Brave available but if I want to have both audio versions I will have to spent twice 16,99 EUR.
I prefer the English but for kids Slovak is essential. Any ideas how should I proceed?

In case you haven't figured it out from everyone else's posts, you don't need to spend $30 per month for the 3G. If you don't need it most of the time, and only really want to use it for trips, then you just sign up for the service for when the trip starts, pay for a single month ($15 or $30 depending on how much you plan on using the 3G service). I don't think you even need to remember to cancel the plan after the road trip ... I think you can have it automatically terminate if that is what you want.
I'm buying a 3G version, and I will either not sign up for any plan, or sign up for the $15 per month plan for most of the time. Before a trip when I think I will be using the 3G service more often, I will probably sign up for unlimited for that month only.
If you are on the fence, it is probably worth the $130.
Ron
p.s. One more benefit that is a big deal for me that a lot people aren't talking about is the GPS. I think the iPad will be a great portable GPS unit, and the WiFi only versions do not have GPS capabilities. With multi-tasking, I think that more interesting GPS like apps will be available this fall as well. I think it would be great to have the iPad log GPS locations, and then when you transfer photos to your iPad, it could automatically encode them with the GPS locations.

I purchased creative cloud, so I thougth Adobe Acrobat Pro was included. When I install the program with my CC ID, I keep getting a trial version, I paid for Creative cloud so why should I buy Adobe acrobat seperately?

Can anyone help me please?
I tried to install and remove twice, We bought one year full package of creative cloud programs.
Many thanks for a solution, i have 3 days trial left.

Hello Kelly,
first, because you wrote that you "installed ..." a try to (un)install by own resources is not enough!)
As strange as it may seem I fear it's now a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
On the other Hand, in my eyes it's as you said, CC includes many other programs, please see Adobe Creative Cloud . Here a screenshot of some of my programms I loaded down to use in CC:
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

Why should I buy an Air instead of an ultrabook such as the Acer Aspire S7

Looking at getting a easily portable laptop for school. What are some reasons to get an Air (13", i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB flash) instead of an ultrabook such as the Acer Aspire S7 (13", i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) Price is nearly the same.

Because you'll be able to upgrade to the next big release of OS X (Mavericks) this fall — which should improve upon the Air's 12hr battery life:

Why should i buy an ipod classic 120GB??? Help me please

I need to make a decision today.
Tell me why i should buy one.
My only worry is that the Classic has a hard drive, and we all know hard drives can crash.
Are there any problems that are common i should know about??
Thankyou for your help

I am sorry to hear that your experience has been so bad with your iPod. As I said, there are some annoyances - some people may be more bothered by them than others. And of course, losing ones music (more than once) is a major deal.
One note concerning one of your complaints - the low volume. Since you mentioned you paid Euros, I would have to guess that it was purchased in the EU. Apple was sued over the maximum volume several years ago by the French government which ultimately resulted in the EU regulating maximum volume in all MP3 players. Units purchased in the US do not suffer from this issue (as my ringing ears can attest to on more than one occasion). And I actually reduce the gain on all of my albums to reduce the distortion that current record producers introduce into the music with over-compression.
The one issue I wholeheartedly agree with you on is the pausing. Though to me it is nothing more than an annoyance (and it happens only rarely), I can see how it would REALLY bother someone. As far as other players are concerned, I've had issues with those as well - a SanDisk device that suddenly decided to show duplicates of all of my songs. Of course, the SanDisk did not cost nearly as much as my iPod.
Are iPods either the best or the worst of the MP3 players on the market. I can't say as I have not done the research. I agree though, that there is plenty of room for improvement.

Why Should They Buy from You? What's Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?

So you provide proactive IT support and specialize in serving clinics and hospitals? Big fat deal - so do your competitors! What truly differentiates your managed IT services from the guy around the block? What do you do better than every other IT solutions provider in your area who's prospecting to the same audience?Last week, I attended the Robin Robins Producer's Club Q3 event in Nashville, Tennessee. Each session was filled with actionable tech marketing and business management strategies, likedeveloping a targeted email campaign to close prospectsand debriefing your quarter. While both of these agenda items were helpful, Robin's workshop on Unique Selling Propositions (USPs) was particularly relevantfor growth-driven MSPs, especially as the market becomes increasingly saturated.Keep reading for top takeaways from the session!

Why should I buy Aperture in 2014?

Hi there,
I have recently made the transition to Apple from PC (which I'm very happy about!) and have been looking to purchase photo editing software to start editing some of my recent photos. I would class myself as a serious enthusiast and have some previous experience of photo editing, so iPhoto or similar will not be enough for what I am looking to do, but the full Photoshop suite of tools would be wasted on me.
Which has led me into the Lightroom vs Aperture debate. To be honest I was all set to give Aperture a go based upon the cost and because I like the way iPhoto structures files (I'm told Aperture will be very similar In this regard?). And then I read that Aperture will no longer be supported.
I'm still tempted to give Aperture a go on the basis that I'm not planning on upgrading my camera anytime soon (D300) and that I would be happy enough if I got a couple of years out of it to let me see what the Apple replacement for Aperture is like. And also because I don't see the need to subscribe to the Creative Cloud if it's only Lightroom I'm after. And because on testing Lightroom recently there were issues with importing NEF files (I hope Aperture does this easily?).
Is this a daft thing to do? Should I not be touching Aperture with a barge pole if it isn't going to be supported? Or is it the case that if it works for me now then it will still work in the same way in a couple of years time?
Also, if I purchase Aperture now, does anyone know if I will be able to migrate across easily to the new editing software that Apple is releasing?
Have I missed anything? This is my first post and any help or advice would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Andy

Aperture is no longer in active development, which is a far cry from saying it won't be supported. It will run on the new OS when it is released - Apple have promised that - so it'll be good for another 18 months minimum. That said, it's $70 for an app that is at the end of its development life.
Lightroom is a very capable application, but twice the price to buy, and even if you go the rental route, the 18 months will cost you $180 compared to Aperture's $70. One thing that LR misses is the integration with the OS offered by iPhoto and Aperture.
There is another way to go. That is to use iPhoto (Free) and an external editor for those things that iPhoto won't do for you. Spend some of the $$$ on an app like Photoshop Elements, Acorn or Pixelmator and set it as an external editor. That way, when the new Photos app comes along you won't be chucking that $70 away, but rather still have a capable editor to use along side it.

Why should anyone buy an EXTENDED WARRANTY if you won't honor it? Yamaha Receiver fails and so do U

Spent about $300.00 bucks on a Yamaha Receiver. At first I had heard all the stories about lack of customer service, but my wife talked with me in the car and I went back and figured what the hell.....so I got it. Supposed to take over after Yamaha's warranty ran out. Instead when I went back to deal with the problem, Receiver in hand to my Local BEST BYE, we could not find a manager. Then they could not find the warranty. Seems like when it benefits you stuff just vanishes.

Hello IbedoctorGonzo,
Welcome to the forum, and I sincerely apologize for the delay in replying to your post. Buying the Geek Squad Protection plan is a great way to ensure that should something go wrong with your Yamaha receiver, like a manufacture defect, you are covered, and I'm very sorry they were not able to locate the plan when you took it in for service.
The Geek Squad Protection plan ID number should be on the purchase receipt if you still have it. Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was unable to locate your information. If you would like me to assist in locating your plan please send me a private message with your full name, e-mail address, phone number that we have on file for you, and zip code.

Thank you again for posting here on the forum, and I look forward to hearing from you.
