Title: buying new laptop
Post by: old nana on March 10, 2008, 10:40:47 AM
I would like to get a new laptop this week.  Any suggestions which one is the best.  Do they all come with Vista?

Any input would be helpful.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 and I love it, but I had to get it with Vista.  I asked for XP but was told 'no way, Jose'.  I listened to a radio show this past Sat or Sunday, Leo Leporte.  He had people call in  with their Vista problems, questions, etc.  Here's the link to the archive of that show.  http://techguylabs.com/radio/pmwiki.php
You might take a looksee or listen.

Greetings,
No matter what computer you buy.  Try running a "Performance Information" from the Control Panel.  I was surprised at the different results. Whatever way you run the test...just keep it consistent.  Vista is just great...I especially like the sidebar.  Enjoy your new computer.

I have a new pc and laptop with vista and just love it no problems at all. Once you get the hang of it, it's really
great.

Good luck and enjoy your new Laptop ( all mine are HP ) but that's a matter of choice.

Today, when my Windows auto update tried to run, I got an error message "80080005 Windows can't check for updates".  After doing a web search and finding nothing, I finally called Dell.  They tweaked this, deleted that, controlled some of those... and it still doesn't work.  They said that one day next week MS will be releasing SP4 for Windows / Vista which should resolve "all your issues".   I asked if it would resolve the issues of my husband leaving the toilet seat up.  The tech dude didn't laugh.  Must have been the whole communication barrier thing, if ya know what I'm sayin'.

What's SP1?  Just curious...

He said SP4 --- and I thought, what happened to SP1-3?  But because I only THINK I know what people are taking about, I didn't question it.

It's Service Pack, and I guess it's a series of updates meant to make your computer run better, fix known issues, glitches, etc., or screw it up worse, whichever comes first.

Apparently SP1 is now available, but I can't download it because of error code 80080005.  I do not want to have to do a restore, but that's what they are telling me.  I will have to have my 150 page reset, save all my pics, school lessons, music.... everything....    girls18.gif girls18.gif girls18.gif
