Computer/device for College

Does anyone have an opinion on the best computer or device for use of college? I'll be with specialization in computer science.

I will return with a MBP

As someone that HE teaches at the University - I find that the Pro was better than Air

Also as the common wisdom goes - fetch the highest RAM and size SSD that your budget can afford in this order - with the macs of the retina - while the SSD can be replaced at a cost of warranty or you can buy an external hard drive - the purchase of RAM is more or less final

  • Driver Installation Failed: Could not find media device for this driver

    I have a HP with Windows Vista (32 bit) dv6646us and have had a problem with the audio device. The sound works sometimes, but above all the system does not even recognize the audio output device (in this case, I see the speaker icon in the taskbar with a cross mark). Another model is that the laptop does not recognize the audio device, but no sound is produced (in this case, the "speaker" icon doesn't have the cross mark). When the system has at least recognize the audio device, I can solve the problem by using the Microsoft Fix it 50131. However, when the system does not recognize the audio device, nothing seems to work. When I go into Device Manager, there is no sound, not just a pilot section. The laptop is supposed to use Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver, but when I try to install it, I get the following message: failure of the driver Installation: Media not found device for this driver.

    In another forum, someone has solved the same problem in a system with the 32-bit version of XP by downgrading his memory from 4 GB to 2 GB, based on his knowledge that a 32-bit system cannot take 4 GB of RAM (it has started having the problem after that first, he upgraded the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB). However, I don't know if the same applies to my problem because the sound system sometimes works with the current system with 4 GB of RAM and also my laptop is supposed to hold up to 4 GB of RAM (and he does not the 4 GB of RAM). So, I was wondering if there is another possibility for a cause and a solution to this problem.

  • The battery life for inspiron 17r special edition or what to buy for College?

    I am looking to buy a high mid range laptop for College. I need a laptop that can handle games, in addition to other activities of the College. I've narrowed my search up to three computers different portable all pretty much the same price, and now I don't know that we choose. My three choices are the occasional 17r, the xps 15 Inspiron and alienware m14x.

    I'm leaning toward the inspiron because its cheaper than the other two and still a great internals. My only concern is the battery life. The battery is low, and I guess with the i7 and the screen 17 inch hd that the battery of the 17r will be terrible. I need something that's going to allow me to study on campus, if need is and be able to handle the TRIPS would be nice. So my question is... Are their any availble upgraded battery for editing special 17r? I saw a battery 9 cells, but it is not listed specifically as compatible with the Edition special 17r, just a 17r. If there is not, are their suggestions for greater autonomy on the road (without the usual stuff like processes of cutting and dimming of the screen).

    Also, on a related note, the inspiron 17r will be able to manage the game well? I don't need a power plant, but I want something that can handle new games for the next two years even if I have to lower the settings as the games become more intense.

    Hi dtruax,

    After sending two children to College, I went through this twice buying decision. The first thing I will say is that you're probably not going to carry your laptop on campus, almost as much as you think you will. And all equipped with gaps of a computer on campus, 17 "laptop will become quickly apparent. For the most part he'll be back at home. So the battery life is not as important as you might think.

    Regarding the size, two of my students, who initially leaned over to a 17 "machine, were much more happy with a smaller screen (14" for my son, 15 "for my daughter), compared to their classmates with computers laptops 17".

    The three models, the XPS is going to be the best for gaming. But I go back to the advice we have been given. Spend a little less on the laptop and a little more to get a 4 year complete care warranty. Many universities offer a 4 year warranty free and tech support if you buy through their Bookstore, which is what we did.

    Still no answer...

    Have you tried the following:

    • Launch Photos manually once you connect your iPhone to the Mac.
    • Enter the ⌥⌘S tomato (command-option-S) key combination the sidebar visible.
    • Click on the camera in the sidebar when it appears.

    Your iPhone shows in iTunes or in the Image Capture?

    If iPhone doesn't appear at all, make sure it is properly loaded and unlocked, disconnecting, take a new photo, then reconnect it.

    • Start iTunes and confirm that you agree with the mac, the prompt on the iPhone.
    • Try a different USB port.
    • Try to force reboot the iPhone.

  • How encrypt or delete my data in order to send my computer in for repair?

    How encrypt or delete my data in order to send my computer in for repair? I send you my computer to HP for repair & I need to delete all my personal data off of it for obvious reasons and I don't know how to do this. Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hi @mamasullens ,

    Thank you for your request, I am happy to be of assistance!

    I understand that you want to delete all your personal data before you send it in for repair.  I understand your concern, but it is not necessary to delete your data.  If you feel more comfortable deleting data before you send it if for repair, you can most certainly.

    Firstly, I would like to back up data to avoid loss.  Here is a link to the How to use the command Format of writing, of zeros on a hard drive (pcsupport.about.com)

    There is third party software that will also help to remove the data from the drive. For example, here is an article from WikiHow.  How do I permanently erase data on a hard disk of.

    I hope I addressed your concern.
