Need a new laptop computer for my wife
SORRY for THE LONG POST, but I wanted to try and get my questions / situation has responded (seeks advice) all at once.
Here's the deal. My wife is currently using a laptop XPS 17 4 year. 500 GB hard drive, 8 GB mem with a 2nd generations i7 processor, that was fast, 4 years ago. Time for an upgrade.
Its use is: absolutely no game (we are too old for it), so don't want to pay for any card/video enhanced feature - lots of photoshop retouching with Photoshop Elements - will use MS Office Word, Excel, and OneNote - a lot of genealogical research (mainly Ancestry.com and family tree) - internet surfing (mainly shopping) - email - wireless - and I think that's about it.
Probably do not have a barn-burner system, but I don't like powerful systems because you don't know what might appear in the future - so I prefer pretty processors high-end with lots of memory, for photo editing work (was told that Photoshop Elements do not use the video card that is my reason to minimize this feature).
Probably will not replace the system for another 3-4 years, which is another reason to prefer a high processor range.
I thought processor i7, 16 GB memory, maybe 1TD of hard disk and minimum graphics card.
I have sort of a question on the display. It is currently using and like the screen 17 ". But if one were to get a 15 ", with the same size of HD (number of pixels I guess), the image on the screen seems to have a finer resolution because the pixels are staring closer together. Or a 15 "display would make it more difficult when Photo editing editing and cleaning of old photos (she does a lot of that is related to his work of genealogy).
Oh and one last thing. We want Windows 10 and think that we are not particularly interested in touchscreens - although if you get a touchscreen, it does not hurt, he likes it.-, do not use it if you do not want, you do. I wonder too, if you save a lot by getting a non touch screen, since most of the systems is underway now configured with a touch screen - which is a real perception.
And one final point may be of interest. I was thinking somewhere around $1,000 for the system.
I hope that you stuck with me and read the whole long post and give me some advice as to what type of Dell system would have these requirements and needs.
Thank you. Ron in round rock
Hello! In my opinion the Inspiron 17 5000 should do you very well. If you like and are used to a 17-inch screen, it can be a bit uncomfortable reduce the size of 2 inches. In response to your question about pixel etc, if you have a screen 1080 p on a 17 inch screen and drop down to a 15 screen inches most people would say the image seems a bit sharper because the pixels themselves are smaller, but it also depends on how far you are in the screen , the brightness of the screen, the quality of the screen, etc.
Watching the series, I mentioned, it is one that has everything you are looking for, but only 8 GB of RAM for 849,00, or the 16 GB for 1099 version. Even if you don't really want a dedicated graphics card, it comes with the AMD r5 which used to bad at all.
If you wanted to drop to a 15 inch screen, you can get the Inspiron 5000 15 series for 799 which has all the technical features you are looking for, or you can switch to the Inspiron 15 7000 series itself, but that is more oriented towards people who like a little play.

Also, for Acrobat 7 activation server may not be available.
Please go to the link of the KB doc and see if that helps:

Hi, I bought a new laptop and I would like to install Photoshop 5.5 Extended for the new laptop computer. Something to consider before you begin to install?
The reason is to avoid any inconvenience. What do I need to uninstall Photoshop beforehand?
Thanks for the tips
The mobile fact have separate start-up and data readers? If so and the boot drive has limited space, you may want to consider relocation of things like bridges on the data disk cache. I can't think another thing to consider from the start, however.

I downloaded iTunes on a new laptop computer and he allowed. All of a sudden, I can't sync my iPhone 6. What can I do?
If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:
- Open Control Panel > Device Manager
- Plug in your device
- Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB. - Right-click and select software update of the driver...
- Click Browse my computer for driver software
- Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
- Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
- Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager
To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.
- USB Bus controllers
- Imaging devices
- Portable devices
- Other devices
Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.
Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support Apple version of the above opinion.
If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates. 64-bit users might also try the build replacing iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) which is sometimes a useful workaround.
Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you roll back to 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need restore the database of the library in the manner described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

Hi people!
I have a Dell DEAD tour... it has XP Home on it. I want to move it to a laptop (new), that may come pre-loaded with 7.0 Win. I need it because I have old analyzes stocks and Willmaker programs who are older who should work on XP.
Microsoft allows you to transfer XP on a new laptop computer? How can I do? Any help would be appreciated. Links?
Thanks in advance!
I'm sorry, but the XP Setup that came with your Dell Tower is connected to this computer and cannot be moved to another computer. It is also likely that XP does not work on your new laptop, because the manufacturer of the laptop didn't design it for XP and does not include drivers for XP.
But there is hope! If you get a new computer with Windows 7 Professional or ultimate, you can use Windows XP Mode to run old programs in a virtual XP machine.

Installation code doenst work, code that is written in my acount adobe will not activate my product. Is een reinstal on a new laptop computer with windows 10. the same code that is delivered on paper when I bought adobe
Creative cloud does not use a serial number and creative cloud subscribers for not having any serial number associated with their programs. Creative cloud subscribers use their adobe ID to activate their programs.
Download and install the desktop creative cloud application (after signing with your adobe - the same as that used to pay for your creative cloud subscription ID), https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Open the office application (a shortcut will be on your desktop) > click applications, and then select the programs you want to install.
the desktop application gives you access to the cs6, cc, cc 2014 and cc 2015 apps. and probably more in the future.
If you already have the cc desktop application and you need to update your adobe id, log out and then back to your client application using the adobe id to pay for your subscription in cc: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

I need a new CD Player for my Satellite A45-S120
I need a new CD Player for my Satellite A45 S120. Is possible to use TEAC "CD-220EA"? (I don, t speak English)
CD/DVD drive replacement is a little tricky due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
If you use a non compatible drive the BIOS does not recognize the device and youw he get an IDE error message #1.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful information this disc may be compatible with your laptop.I found the compatible reader preinstalled on my laptop user manual.
I put t know if the manual would provide you this information, but you should check it out.If you will not find any information on taken readers in charge then contact ASP in your country and ask for a CD/DVD burner made in charge.
Good luck and greetings
