I was going to buy today VGN-Z790 from sony website then i found great deal for VGN-Z750D/B online.
Difference is almost 400$!
But specs are the SAME! Im confused!
Specs are -Sony Vaio Z750DB P8800 2.66G 4GB 320GB DVDRW 13.1-Wxga Bt
Are both needed for the volume and mute keys to work as well as play/paul skip etc? I am running into an issue on bootup where something sort of drags and I think its the software that goes with these buttons. If I try to use the system to early I can crash explorer. I was able to do this on two brand new laptops. Or would I be better installing the lastest Sound driver, quick touch?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an HP G60 that does a fine job of surfing the internet and just basic computing. The build quality is good. I would have preferred an Intel processor, but when I picked this up at Circuit City, it was just hitting the market and the $599 price was attractive. Just one complaint--it's too heavy to use on the lap or for just surfing. I've looked at most netbooks available and almost opted for an HP Mini or the Toshiba N205. But, then I saw the Gateway with its larger screen. So, no purchase yet. Now, enters Dell with the new Inspiron 11Z. That looks like what I want. Still, I like HP and want to know how HP will match the Inspiron 11Z?

It was between this and a Macbook Pro and I'm VERY happy I went with the Sony over the Macbook Pro. Macbooks are nice on the outside but this machine is just EVERYTHING I could possibly want from a laptop at a great price. Runs games great, screen is amazing, decent battery life. I just couldn't say enough good things about the laptop. If anyone is interested in buying one and has questions just ask me, but I'll save you the run around...
I looked at 30+ different laptops, read tons of reviews and this was by far the best overall machine for the money hands down.
this is just a quick review of my new Sony FW455 notebook. I bought it recently after a couple months ago my HP DV7 fried its motherboard, after two days of ownership.
Specs:
Colour: Brown
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64bit
Screen: 16.4" glossy 1600x900

Memory: 4GB DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive: 320GB 7200RPM
Optical Drive: DVD read/write, Bluray read
Graphics: ATI mobility 4650 1GB DDR3

Let me first start by asking your forgiveness if I have stuffed this quick little guide in the wrong spot. I spent a rather brief 10 minutes searching this forum, and I don't believe I am repeating a write-up someone has already done that follows this simple method. If I am incorrect, I ask a moderator to please place this post in its proper home. As you can see, I am not an avid poster here, and I really don't want to be slammed for not searching with enough gusto, etc.
Alright, on to the quick 'n easy...
I have a new VGN-AW235J, so proceed with courage and fortitude if our letters don't match. I found this as I was trying various ways to cleanse this beautiful machine of it's bloatware. It worked for me, and that is all I will claim.
This method requires that you create the restore DVDs.
If you don't have a handful of restore DVDs, go do that now and come back...and while you're up, bring a snack.
One more disclaimer: I didn't take the greatest notes while doing this, so my instructions may be sufficiently vague to cause minor trepidation on the part of the reader. With that being said, each step should be fairly obvious while in front of your machine...DVDs in hand..........................
Sony Viao (NW series at least) have a quick boot feature for access to the internet without fireing up your operating system. Hit the special quick access button and away you go.
Guess what, if it is a computer for your child you cant even turn the button off or set it with a password. It resides on your motherboard any parental controls mcafee or otherwise are useless. The system for the quick access is by devicevm and is called splashtop.
how to control this, keep in mind this runs straight off the motherboard and windows is not fired up.
For all those dell studio 1535/37's or 17, the esata jack on the laptop can also be used as a usb. I just realized it and i wanted to share. So we have 4 usb ports now.
View 4 Replies View Relatedplanning on purchasing either an HDX16 or HDX18 for college. Right now, the HDX18 is cheaper, but which one would be the best for transporting between classes, etc? Also, how would you take notes if the battery only last two hours?
I will also have another coupon that takes off $250 from the price listed.
or
I think I will purchase the HDX18, and then return it in the 21 day period if I feel it is too large or something. Which one would you choose based on the specs and price and the portability for college?
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300, about 4 years old. I bought it with 1 gb RAM, and I'd like to extend the life of it by a few months, and make it a little faster.
This is the RAM that dell recommends for my laptop to upgrade:

Unfortunately, looking at my order when I first got the laptop, it says this .....
got the 8930g with a 9700m GT 512mb DDR3, question is, the core clock on it is 575 max, isn't that maybe a little low? memory is 800 max, checked these via gpu-z.
Basically is this normal for the DDR3 model.
I have a HP HDX X16 1040US. After I format the laptop, I can't access the Quick Launch Button(adjust volume, treble, previous, pause, play, fast forward and so on).

My problem is that when I type quickly, sometimes cursor jumps to different position in text so it spoils what I wrote already before.
It's really annoying and I can't find out why is this happening.
I thought that maybe it's related somehow to this laptop.
Is it possible to leave the light on, for those glowing quickkeys at the top of the keyboard?
I find it hard to locate them quickly (e.g. mute, or eject), even in a brightly lit room.
The dark grey icons are hard to see depending on lighting/angle/glare, etc. When I press them, they light up very nicely and I can see them very well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought a HP dv4 1242TX in may 2009. Except for the heating problem, it was working okay till last week. The quick launch buttons (qlb) have gone berserk. The volume reaches the maximum level and stays there even on reducing it through or manually. It temporarily goes down and as soon I remove my finger from the qlb, the volume goes to maximum level. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver for qlb's but the problem persists. Due to this, the other qlb's for wlan, quick play, play stop etc are not working. I do not know what seems to be the problem and my warranty period also got over.

I don't understand. all buttons works,except f2 and f3 screen brightness. The program on the computer isn't installed...
I've found that these buttons don't work anymore. Previously they worked properly but last week I've found that any of them does not work.Â
When I press each of them there is no any action: no action, no dialog window, no backlighting, nothing. I don't know what is it.OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1 with the latest updates.Other info: during my using of this laptop I have not had any damage or falling.
The Quick Launch Manager keeps popping up on the screen of my Vostro 3450
