Are there any intel-i7 laptops with good battery life?

Question by RavM: Are there any intel-i7 laptops with good battery life?
The question I have is are there any laptops with:

- intel i7 processors
- battery life of 3 hrs + (normal use)
- 14.5″ screen or smaller

I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me with this. I need it for college (I’m already two weeks in) and I have been looking for a while. If I don’t get it soon I’ll be screwed.

Hey, you could just lower the back light on it to make the screen less bright,
and it should last twice as long.

I took my laptop, with batter halfway and it lasted 2 hours with lowest back light.
But I don’t have an i7.
It should still work, though.

Try any of these laptops.

Do I have to hook up a wireless router to a desktop computer to use it with laptops?

Question by zags: Do I have to hook up a wireless router to a desktop computer to use it with laptops?
I have two laptop computers and one desktop. My plan is to get rid of the desktop because it is old and slow. I was wondering if I had to have a “host” computer hooked up to a wireless router in order for it to work with my laptops or can I just hook the router up to my dsl modem?

Best answer:

Answer by heeboy3
In order to do the initial setup of the wireless router, you DO need to plug the wireless router into a computer. Once you are all set up, you can basically remove the computer from the scene and your laptops would work continuously with the wireless router.

Beware however, in the future, if your wireless router settings fail, or need resetting or changing….you will need to plug it into a computer again to adjust it.

Good luck!

Q&A: Are there any good laptops under 200 dollars?

Question by : Are there any good laptops under 200 dollars?
I’m looking for a laptop for everyday use. I do not want to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a laptop. Are there any laptops (preferably in stores) that are cheap? If so how much?

Best answer:

Answer by GinaBina16 ♥ ツ
you probably wouldn’t find anything nice for under $ 200. The only thing I can think of is a mini netbook. A good, long lasting, worth the price laptop would cost around $ 500-$ 1000. I would keep checking online. And try not to get a used laptop, you might get scammed.

Top 5 Laptops of Summer 2010?

Question by i_87: Top 5 Laptops of Summer 2010?
Okay so I recently purchased the Sony Vaio Ea series laptop, very impressed with it. I was also looking at the HP site where I found that the Envy was available in 14 and 17 inch now. I am so attached to the Envy, not saying I don’t like my Sony, I love it but the HP, WOOWWW. So, what are the top 5, I’m guessing the two laptops mentioned above should be in the list. I’m not looking for the best gaming laptops, I’m looking for the laptops that are decent overall, in all areas and aspects.
