Questions about the transition to a Chromebook

Please forgive me, because I know little about computers. I am wanting to buy my first chromebook as I am tired of the problems with my laptop Windows 7 Basic. Tried to upgrade to Windows 10 and it fried my system. I have a laptop Sony Vaio series dear and he isn't even came with a restore disc, they expect you to go online to solve problems, but you can't get online when this kind of problem occurs. In any case, I wonder why you need to have a restore disc or whatever for this chromebook? I thought that this was the value of a chromebook or is it in case the computer dies as my Sony done or something?

Then it is a good model and can you tell me if it would perform better than the...

Hi MorrisGary,

I moved your post because it is different from the issue discussed in the other thread. I hope that gives you more visibility.

First of all, I would like to address the issue of recovery media that you had with Sony, not that I want you to return back, but because that they affect both the Acer and I would rather you have the best information information vs which is best for us to give you. Windows based PC does not come with recovery media. Acer systems have a recovery partition that allows to restore Windows directly from the hard drive. You can perform backups at any time (as long as the system works).

Passage to Chromebooks, the Google Chrome team has done a fantastic job in making sure the ChromeOS is accessible from many different paths. I'll link you a their below, but it is so quick and simple the ChromeOS is very light and I hear by is that there is not much to it. All the customization and improvements are linked to your Google account. It takes minutes to reinstall the ChromeOS if you encounter a problem where it can take nearly an hour to reinstall Windows.

Insofar as a recommendation, we have several in our shop. If I had to buy a new Chromebook today, no doubt (in addition to my obvious bias to Acer ) would be the CB3-431. It is 14 "vs the 15" you, but it as a better screen (1080 vs 768) with more storage space and storage. It is also available with many good reviews on Amazon: http://us-store.acer.com/chromebook-14-cb3-431-c5fm

I hope this information helps!

  • Question about the transitional federations

    In OIF transitional federations, the user account exists only on the side of PDI. This means that there is no way to associate the user with the role of certain applications?

    What mapped federations (double balanced) and bound (double-sided asymmetric) federations. If the user account of the side MS associated with the role of certain applications, I suppose that even if the user is identified on the side of IIP, it should still be able to associate the role defined the side SP, correct?

    Thank you

    AACC says:

    _idmgod_ wrote:

    Account exists on SP side means that identity (pseudonym) and associated metadata exist in the database, in the directory, in memory, to the extent. For transitional pseudonyms with the OIF, the alias exists in the data store of Federation (a directory) for the duration of a session on SP. Yet, the account exists, even if it is blurred to a pseudonym and it is active during the session.

    So, for the transitional Federation account probably only exists in the SP side during the lifetime of a session ?

    For transitional pseudonyms, it is true.

    As I read the tutorial, I mentioned in my previous post, users Ira and Isabelle are set only on IDPs, but I agree to their account
    could be moved next to the SP at run time by the OIF, and active during the session. However, I'm still not clear, for example, identity stored in memory.
    How the user associate the application role?

    User name sends PDI Martines and additional attributes... For example if SP is an application related to a trip to meet requests from anonymous users and tell them of seats are available on a plane, IdP will send username Martines and attributes (window value) SeatingPreference and MaxTicketPrice (value $10000) and road (London-New Delhi), days of departure / arrival. Then MS will create pseudonym 123456 and bind it to SeatingPreference, MaxTicketPrice, road and departure/arrival, requested by the user 123456. Because the MaxTicketPrice is $ 10,000, which can be a ticket to first class, so SP will assign the user 123456 to the role of 'RichTraveler '. All this will happen during the duration of the session.

    If recording everything to 123456 and its application on the ticket are stored in the memory, the role link is also stored in the memory. All are allowed out after the session. SP can also store the pseudonym and role assignment in a directory or a database and then activate a session, disable when the session is performed.

    How the association is made... It's okay if it is transient or persistent and memory or the database. Additional assets sent by IdP as a pseudonym given don't you said nothing, it is done by MS.

  • A few questions about the difference between the Satellite P70, L70, S70

    Hello, I have a lot of questions about the P70, L70, S70 series that come with a 1920 x 1080 panel.

    (1) what are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    (2) P70, L70, S70 doesn't support a 2nd HARD drive or it's just the P70 series that support?

    (3) all the three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?

    (4) of the above series, which supports mSata?

    (5) all the model of each series are delivered with support from mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?

    (6) all the foregoing, are delivered with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?

    (7) who is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.

    Thank you in advance.

    > (1) what are the differences between the series L70 and S70? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    What models Sat L70 and S70 do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx-xxx and S70 models on the market that supports different hardware specifications.

    (> S70 2) P70, L70, support a 2nd drive HARD or is - it just the series P70 that support?
    As you can see in this [Sam P70 HDD replacement document, | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports the 2nd drive Bay HARD, BUT even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, this does not mean that you can use the 2nd HARD drive. In the case where the 2nd HARD drive Bay are equipped with HARD drive connector, you can use the 2nd HARD drive

    I also found the [Sam L70/S70 HDD replacement | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] the document on the Toshiba page and there I see this 2nd HARD drive Bay is not available

    (> 3) all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?
    See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different material parts.

    (> 4) of the series above, which takes in charge mSata?
    As far as I know that some P70 models are equipped with an mSATA SSD of 256 GB.

    (> 5) do all the model of each series are delivered with support mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?
    See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications

    (> 6) all of the above, come with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?
    I don t think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II

    (> 7) which is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.
    Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
    And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will have to look for the models that have been released in your country.

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  • Question about the recovery partition

    Hello.

    I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

    If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

    I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

    In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

    In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

  • A few questions about the Satellite A100 PSAANE

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A 100 - PSAANE with Vista Home Basic preinstalled in it.
    Now, I have a few questions... I mention below: -.

    (1) if I want to format my laptop, I need a CD to install for Vista Home basic... then I don't have this Toshiba CD when I bought the laptop. So how do? question: How can I format it?

    (2) can I change my Vista Home Basic to windows XP? I think it's much faster than this one. is it advisable?

    (3) I have a GB of RAM in the laptop. Increase the RAM? I think that my laptop has become to slow down. is it advisable?

    (4) and on my screen, everytime I try to change my profile screen to windows Classic view, my screen begins to blink. and after a while, the screen turns off. So I can't change that. I put the color scheme of windows vista only. What to do about that?

    Please help me friends. Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Perkins

    Hello

    Here, a few questions about the number:

    (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

    (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

    (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

  • Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

    I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

    (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

    (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

    (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

    (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

    (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers:
    1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
    2 - Yes.
    3 - Yes.
    4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
    5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

    In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD +.

    Hello

    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD + that I hope you can answer.

    I bought the former model, last year. Love the design and long battery life, but a few major questions made me return.

    • Somewhere that I've read that it can not read NTFS on USB so I guess that's the same thing with a NTFS formatted microSD card?
    • Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    • Anyone who has questions about the audio via bluetooth?
      (I know that BT is not exactly High End HiFi but the old 10 Yoga for some obscure reason - most likely a driver problem which nobody cared to fix - rang * very * worst with visibly distortion while both my phone and a Tablet noname cheap I have zero about fidelity - any of my devices bluetooth audio) I tried aptX or not)

    So to avoid buying it back it also I really I would like to see if I can get my questions answered before buy you.

    While I love the form factor and long term issues above are only two Mayor dealbreakers for me. Bad audio quality = no joy listen to spotify, local etc. MP3s. not of NTFS or exFAT = some great movies.

    My old noname android Tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious it may be, or I should watch the competition and will be form factor and battery LIFE.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT:

    If it does not support NTFS or exFAT on microSD card have someone at - he tried ext3 or ext4?

    I mean with Linux Android root, it should be a no-brainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where it * might * have some trouble with Microsoft.

    I used a USB through a USB OTG cable. NTFS or exFAT have been recognized by the Tablet PC. FAT32 is seems to be the preference.

  • Just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Hello, this is Matthew, just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

    Is there anyway to rearrange the order of the elements? I know cutting automatic resizing, I could move the items by hand. But if I use the cluster somewhere else, I have to move the items again...

    What I want is of the order of "Mx My Mz Ax Ay Az Temp voltage CS".

    Is there a quicker way to deal with?

    THz so much!

    You can right-click the border of the cluster and choose "arrange control cluster...". "The user interface is not as intuitive as it could be, but it will allow you to reorder items. If you use the cluster in several places, you should make the cluster in a type definition and replace all current uses of the latter with the type definition, so that they all match. They will also update automatically when you make changes to the type definition. Otherwise, you could have a situation where you have multiple groups with the same data types, but with elements in a different order, and your data will be getting a new denominated, when wire you the whole clusters. The data will be in the same order, but given that the item labels are in a different order, you can't get the data you want, when ungroup you by name.

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

    Is it a good place to ask questions about the slow s Tablet touchscreen response?

    You experience slow response on normal s tablet, the first gen one or the Xperia s tablet, a new.

    If you experience a slow response, it may be because you use too many apps at the time and slowing down of your tablet. How long it lasts?
