My girlfriend's laptop has an older 2.5" 5,400 rpm HDD in it. The computer isn't a gaming machine, but is often used for streaming video (hulu, netflix) and basic internet browsing. Due to the cost and the problems with migration from HDD to SSD, I do not know if the solid state route would be...

I'm truly on the fence with this one.I'm inclined to say gaming a little more than TV.

Not sure how many responses this will get, but I was curious. I have a Lenovo SL500 with Vista Basic installed. Battery life is OK, around 4 hours. I recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my ASUS EEEPC 1000HE and I really like using Linux. So I was wondering if installing Ubuntu or even a...

I have a small problem that i've been trying to figure and but cant do it. I installed Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars on my laptop but every time i try and run the game it randomly closes. I can get into the opening menu but once actual gameplay starts, the program will shut down. After...
