All i really want to do is be able to play World of Warcraft at the moment. I know this computer is capable of doing this but is it sufficient? Later on i might want to add some higher end games such as cs:s. I think that this was only $1336. This is a good price for me at the moment but i would like it lower. Is there any other laptops that u would recommend?

I Am Trying To Convince My Parents To Buy Me A Macbook Pro I Wrote This List Well What Do You Think?

20 Reasons Why I Need a Macbook Pro
1. Macs are more reliable. In the past 8 months my computer has had to have the Os re-installed 4 times, 3 for hard drive problems and 1 for a virus. Mac’s are very reliable machines according to consumer reports, and multiple reviews online such as C-net, Notebook reviews, Consumer reports, ECT. Mark the Mac book pro as a very good Computer, better than a PC.
2. Macs Run windows to! On a Macbook Pro I Can Run Windows as well as Mac OS X through Boot Camp. So in way I will get the best of both worlds I can run Mac OS X for internet and video editing and music editing, then I can run Windows Vista for Games, Office, and Windows Exclusive programs I might need.
3. I Know How to Use Macs. I can use a Mac much better than a PC. I was taught how to use them in elementary school. Right down to how to use all of the Mac office programs.
4. No Viruses! On Macs there are no viruses, which means that I can /surf the web with confidence my computer is safe.
5. If my Mac breaks no problem! With Apple care I can call Apple and my problem is fixed either by an apple expert helping me through it our by sending my computer to apple. Were as with a PC if it breaks Basically your screwed, first you have to find the problem, then call support then figure out how to fix it, then try do to do all of the things that you have no clue on how to do. No no no no with a Mac I call apple and since Macs are so simple with a description of my problem I have an answer.
6. A Mac Will Help Me in School. Last year I had 12 late or missing essays and research assignments because my computer was broken. On a Mac if it breaks I just send it to apple and in a few days I get a new computer for free. But it takes weeks to fix a PC.
7. They Last Forever!!!!!! On a Mac the Requirements to run software are very slim, the average life of a Mac is about 5 years compared to the 2 year life of a PC.
8. I can Use a Mac for Everything!!! Since Macs run Windows and Mac OS X there is no such thing as incompatible software.
9. You May Say at This Point “I am Convinced you need a Mac, But why a Macbook pro?” Well a Macbook pro is a notebook, which means I can use it anywhere. For example what if I have a huge report I have to do over the weekend but we are going to grandmas house, well I could take my Macbook pro and I could work on a report, and study for a test with a preloaded study guide.
10. I will get A’s on my report Card. With a Mac there are no viruses and they are notably reliable so there is no excuse of my computer had a virus, or the “it was broken” excuse. A Macbook pro will help me excel in school and in extra activities I do such as movie making and video games and there is guitar learning software.
11. Since I will be using the computer I should get the computer I want to use. What you guys have to remember is that the next computer I’m going to get will be my computer, so in that case I should get the computer that I want to use, not the one that you want me to use.
12. If I get the Macbook pro I will have enough space on my desk to do other things. Such as homework, or work. Right now my desk is too crowded with CRT monitors to do work; well a laptop would take care of that.
13. There is a brand new update. An update came out on June 5th which means that I will get the most advanced technology now.
14. A Macbook pro is the most powerful notebook and most powerful Mac other than the Mac pro.
15. I have two lives. If I came home from school one day and I found my computer broken my dell, I would have to wait for dad to fix it. But with a Mac I can run Windows and OS X so if OS X dies I can use windows because it uses a separate portion of the hard drive, and vise versa.
16. Apple is the only company that makes the software and the hardware. On a Mac the software is made to use all of the advantages of the hardware. Were as on a PC the software is made to be used on 100 companies computers
17. All the programs I use and want to use are on Mac. I use iTunes and that’s a program designed for Mac. I cant use iMovie, or Logic.
18. A new OS is about to be released. Leopard is about to be released, with many more features than tiger.
19. I can use .mac. .mac is a net based e-mail and web page publisher and internet storage. With many other features.
20. Macs just work. Macs are so simple a caveman can use them, they work so well, and they are so easy to use that you can use it to learn languages, or to learn how to play an instrument. They just work, were as with a PC needs to have lessons to learn how to use it.
With a Macbook pro I can just do everything and have everything work. Reasons 1-20 are the reasons I need a Macbook pro.

What Is The Optimal Resolution For A 22″ Wide Screen Monitor?

I have a Dell 22″ monitor and I use 1680 x 1050. My concern is that my friend with a 17″ laptop uses the same resolution. I was wondering, is he using the wrong resolution, or am I? If I am, what is the optimal resolution. I have an nVidia GeForce 9500 GT which allows me to set up a custom resolution if I have to. So, am I using the right resolution, or do I need to set up a custom one? If I need a custom one, what do I need?

What Kind Of Adapter Do I Need To Plug In My Dell Xps Notebook In Europe?

I am going to France next month for about a week, and I would really like to take my computer with me. The electrical outlets in Europe are physically different from those in the U.S.A., and they also use a different current. The last time I took my computer overseas was to Ireland in 2008. The representative from Dell told me all I needed was a Belkin adapter, which cost about $17 and was little more than a piece of plastic with different-sized metal prongs sticking out of the back. I used that, and although it seemed to work, I had power problems when I got back to the states, and even had to replace my hard drive. So, I’m wondering, were they wrong? Do I need to purchase a more complex piece of equipment in order to use my laptop in France? If you can, please be specific. Thanks!

What Is The Best Laptop/vendor With Customer Support?

I consider myself an advanced enough user not to rely on customer or tech support, however I am helping someone else purchase a laptop. Aside from specific features that I am able to find, I am wondering if Dell would be the way to go. The purchaser is willing to pay for continued tech support (mainly phone support, not online support). They will be using the laptop mainly at home and would just like to be able to watch DVDs, use the net for online banking, the basics.
Intel Core 2 Duo
17″ screen
Full size keyboard
CD/DVD+-RW (burning music CDs and DVDs)
Touchpad (no ‘bead’ in the center of the keyboard)
Ongoing phone support..
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
