Im buying an Acer 1.8ghz TK-55 Laptop but it has no OS on it need help!?

12 Aug

Well im buying an Acer 1.8ghz TK-55 Laptop off ebay but the only thing wrong with it is that it has no OS. The OS license is windows vista home premium. But I, like most others hate vista with a passion. I was looking to put windows XP media center on it or XP pro. But what im wanting to know is can I do that or will I have to buy Vista home premium like on a disk from bestbuy? And since there is no OS, will I have to make a partition on the harddrive of the laptop?

When buying a notebook pc at best buy or officemax will it come with the OS on a disk???

04 Aug

I have heard that some manufacturures do notgive you a copy of you OS(operating system) on a disk. Just to cut costs stick it on a partition on your hard drive so you can recover it later.But what if your hard drive fails??? i dont want to take that chance. I am looking to buy a ACER,TOSHIBA,or maybe COMPAQ ,for about $750-$800 ,but wating for their sale price of$600-$650. so if you bought a CPU like these pleas let me know if they come withe the OS disk.

Buying a Notebook PC?

10 Jul

I already got a Pentium4 desktop PC. But, I always think I should have a small notebook PC which I can carry everywhere in my bag.
Even though Im working full time (I got a desktop PC there too), I’ve s tarted my higher studies again. I stidy most of the times in a university library which has Wi-fi internet facilities too.

I’m interested in buying an ACER notebook which has a Celeron processor with 1.86Ghz. Coz, I’m hoping to use this PC only for my assignments (not for games), I hope it would fulfil what I require. But, most people say Celeron is really a really slow processor.

A Pentium Dual Core notebook is also available for more than $400/= of the Celeron notebook. But this Dual Core’s speed is also 1.86Ghz.

Can anyone please tell me, whether I should go ahead with the Celeron? (Especially becoz they both have the same speed).

Please also tell me specifically where Celeron processor under-performs (except in gaming).

Thanks Heaps!

Buying wife a computer… again, don’t wanna make the same mistake twice?

21 Jun

this past christmas I bought my wife an Acer Aspire 17″ 3gb ram, 320gb hardrive, ati 4200 HD. bought from Home shopping, the computer had a limited warranty stating if it was their mistake they fix if i messed it up they did. The motherboard was faulty the computer had bad start up problems, these problems happened as soon as we plugged it in. sent it to acer, payed $50 to insure and ship. they sent it back unfixed, after calling and cursing at all the “non english comprehending people” if thats polite enough, it sounded like u were pre payin for gas at 711.
I sent it back to them again, with a note telling them exactly what to check for, they sent it back once again not fixed. Acer is horrible. I have nothing but bad things to say.

But HSN is great, they are giving me a full refund.

I want to buy another 17″ screen or larger, she’s pretty much set on the big screen (we’re blind lol)
prefer it to be just as good of specs as the last, but I want a good video card atleast Ati HD4200, we only really play the sims 3, games to that matter, but i need to know good brands? I was thinking of a 18.4″ toshiba sattelite for $899 its on qvc if anyone would like to help find a reliable computer.

I’ve had bad experiences with evry dell i’ve ever owned, along with the recent acer. I have a gateway desktop that is old as the hills, I’m using it now, came with a 80 gb hardrive…. that was the biggie back then.
But now when i recently had the problems with acer the Gateway/Emachine/Acer support line called

if gateway is owned by Acer…. forget it.

HP? Toshiba?
price range: keep it $900 or below. not including sales tax and all that.
I really like hsn, qvc, with the flex pay options.. I have payed off alot of nice things that way on a limited income.
also i kinda want a pretty reliable return policy incase it’s a junker.

Are there lots of risks to buying a refurbished Laptop?

09 Jun

I am looking for a laptop with wireless capabilities. Other than that I only need it for basic programs such as Email, MS Word, Excel and so on. When they say “refurbished” exactly how much of a risk do you run? I see some refurbished notebooks for $599 on Tigerdirect.com but then I see the commercials for HP notebooks that start at $499. As you can see I’m not the most computer savvy person. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
