http://www.amazon.com/K53E-B1-15-6-Inch-Versatile-Entertainment-Laptop/dp/tech-data/B004LUU8WU/ref=de_a_smtd Do you think this one would be better than the Toshiba you mentioned? I don't know very much about AMD's APU's versus Intel's 2nd gen Core laptop processors.

Hello all, My younger brother is in need of a laptop for school and he has roughly $700 to spend. It will be used for programs like AutoCAD as he is taking Landscape Architecture courses. He really won't be using it for gaming at all. thanks guys.

50* C is not near hot enough for the GPU to cause it to shut down. I have a 5770 that runs about 55-65 degrees under load and the maximum should be about 80. Is there anything on the screen when it restarts? Like are there lines going across it or any weird colors that show up?

I would try going through the BIOS and disabling things that start when you boot up your computer. Go into BIOS and disable things like Onboard Audio, Onboard LAN, and Onboard 1394. If you know your hard drive is bad, set the CD drive as the first boot option and insert your Linux Mint CD...

Alienware has some decent prebuilt PC's. You're definitely paying top dollar for the name though. In almost every situation with prebuilt PC's, you'd be better off building your own and get more bang for your buck.

What model Dell is it? I know most manufacturers use cheap/junky PSU's but some Dell models are higher quality.

Agree with you on that. Hopefully they will be worth my wait!

Hey guys, a quick question for you all. My brother owns a Dell Inspiring 1545 laptop that he purchased in 2009. Lately, when he plugs it in the battery icon in the tray says "plugged in, not charging". He is running Vista and from what I know it sounds like it is a problem with Windows and...

Well, he is a self taught IT (a self taught Information Technology?) and computer builder, so I'm pretty sure everything he's saying is 100% accurate... I will now change my computers to run Ubuntu and never purchase a Windows product ever again. Thanks Bill! You've enlightened me and touched...

That is a beastly rig! Looks really good!

It's always enjoyable to see pics of people's builds. Thanks for posting!

Stop whining

This was my concern also when considering what to purchase. I've now owned my HP netbook (which I bought new for $269!) for 2 years and used it for everything I've wanted to without ever needing a dvd/cd drive. Come to think of it, I don't use the dvd/cd drive on my desktop PC all that often...

Isn't the ISO on the disk though? If the ISO is on a flash drive I believe you should be able to boot and install from that.

That looks really cool (Trailers are supposed to make games look cool though...) I'm excited to see what they do with the whole "Brotherhood" theme! I'll probably never find out though since I have no time play games anymore :(

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Only if you somehow have the OS on a flash drive, which I'm guessing you don't...

I don't get what the purpose of this thread is? How do we determine who the winner of this so-called "tourney" is?

Hitachi HDD's are not typically known for being reliable components. I would go with something like a Samsung Spinpoint or a Western Digital

Hopefully the kid doesn't get addicted to moose-taunting...
