Question by : What are the Best Cheap Laptops?
Hi everyone so I’m going to get a new laptop with my family and we were wondering what the best cheap(but still good laptops) there are for playing computer games? It doesn’t really have to do anything else besides powerpoint and get internet and play computer games (because my little siblings play them all the time).

So what’s the best and cheapest PC for computer games? No mac’s please. We can’t really afford them and a lot of games aren’t mac. Thank you so much!

Yes, you can keep the disc since you own the license for it. And yes, it will work on other computers, providing it’s actually a Vista Operating System disk and not a System Restore disk from the laptop manufacturer :)

How do I extend my laptop display to our vizio lcd tv using SVGA cable?

Question by Daniel E: How do I extend my laptop display to our vizio lcd tv using SVGA cable?
We are using an SVGA cable male to male. We connected the cables first to the laptop and tv when it’s powered off and then when we turned on the laptop, changed the display properties(step by step) as mentioned here in Y answers. But still our tv just says “Not Supported” even if we changed the input to ‘RGB’ already and then our laptop screen just goes black. We need to unplug the cable from the laptop again in order to navigate.. What seems to the problem?

Well , you could be using the WRONG Refresh rate or resolution setting on your computer….

Set it to 60 Hz refresh rate and KEEP that setting…then start at any hhhh x 480 resolution setting and move up to hhhh x 720 settings and finally stop at 1920 x 1080. You will note that several settings will not provide a picture.Those are the ones that the TV will not process….

Now, if you still get NO PICTURE at all then replace the signal board, or the cable…

How do the i7 cores (laptop versions) compete with the Intel Core 2 Extremes?

Question by Jinxess: How do the i7 cores (laptop versions) compete with the Intel Core 2 Extremes?
Is there ANY place at all the Intel Core 2 Extremes shine much brighter compared to the i7 cores, the laptop versions, even with turbo boost? Maybe multi-threading and CPU-reliant programs? Any area at all or is the i7 really a complete and whole upgrade?

Best answer:

Answer by bon-gart
Yes. The core i7 processors are better processors all around, because they are the replacements that Intel has designed.

Is it nice that the Core 2 extreme processors run at their speed all the time? Not really, when you think about it. You will get the speed you need, when you need it with the Core i7, but you won’t get the heat generation when you DON’T need it, while the Core 2 extreme processors will be throwing out more heat when it is not necessary, because they will be running far too hot when there is no demand for the speed.

Also, the core i7 processors have included hyperthreading on each core. So, a quad core i7 has 8 processing threads, where the Core 2 extreme processors only have 4. Just as the older Pentium 4 chips with hyperthreading acted like a dual core processor.

The Core 2 extreme processors only shine in desktop systems where you are able to overclock and overcool the system, to get increased performance in exchange for some serious money spent on keeping the chip cool. Then, and only then, can you make the Core 2 Extreme quad core run faster… however, you sacrifice stability to a HUGE degree… hard core gamers with overclocked systems know all the time they risk having a game crash in the middle of intense activity.

So just like the Core 2 extreme is an improvement over a core 2 duo… which is an improvement over pentium 4… the core i7 is an improvement over the Core 2 series.

Building a laptop from scratch is a very technical undertaking which requires skills with soldering and working with very small components – a new laptop is worth a lot less than the components needed to build it.
