How come my laptop freezes when I try to burn a DVD? 

by Guest Geek on October 30, 2009

Q: I am using a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop and have burned DVD’s with no problem for quite a while but recently every time I burn a DVD the laptop has freezes throughout the DVD. I went to Dells website and tried updating everything (DVD/CD is TSSTCorp TS-L632H) but updating has not corrected the problem. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix this?

What is the best laptop for PhotoShop CS4? 

by Guest Geek on October 19, 2009

Q: I’m ready for a new laptop soon to replace my Compac Presario V5105us. I’m looking at primarily HP’s & Sony. Really need a much better machine now for dealing w/ Photoshop CS4, Office, Internet but no gaming. I’ve looked into HP dv7-1270us, 2170us, 2180us, HDZ16-1370, HDX 16t. In Sony line Ive seen FW 460-J/t, 460 J/B, and NW 150 J/S. I’ve looked at several others & am open to suggestions/recommendations. I’d like at least 4 mb (expandable to ?), good graphic card w/it’s own mwmory like ATI HD 3xx or InVidia GeForce, preferably Intel core 2 processor (duo would be nice), 15+” screen up to 17″. I have a budget of $900-1200. Is there something decent that I can get that’s in that range? I’d really like to move on this purchase soon.
