I'm thinking that laptop should be just fine for college, but just in case get a second opinion.

I'm not sure how fast the Samporn SI-42 Processor is
Mine has a Truion64...which I think is faster.

Processor = power

However...that laptop has 3 gigs worth of ram. (plenty for school)

RAM= size ( as in being able to run multy windows)

It also has a bigger/faster vedio card than mine.

Cool for school work, music, movies and surfing the net...
it won't be a gamer's dream PC.

If you have processing speed problems (which I don't think you'll have just for school work)
You can alter the display option...Vista has a cool Picture in picture for the tool bar.
But it'll drive the heck out of your vedio card. I don't think you'll have problems with
that vedio card.

If you do decide to get this laptop...check the vedio card Bio setting.
Mine wasn't set at optimum setting from the factory. lol

Most problems occurs with PC/ Window's version/ Vedio card combos for gaming...it's like a crap shot.

It's better than my laptop and I paid $750 for mine.
As long as you have places to plug for power,
It shoud be fine. Extra batteries will cost almost
half as that laptop.

It has Vista..so not I'm sure ..you might need to look into that.
I don't have as much problems with software compiabilties
as much anymore. You might want to contact the college
you're attending and ask what OS is recommended or is Vista suitable.

You might also want to look into the Microsoft other softwares
such as words, paint, excel...etc
Mine didn't come with those software..it only has 30days trial.

The norton is only a 90days trial...
It's retarted anywho. I don't even use it.

You can download other word processors and art software
from the net for free.

If you have an external hardrive...I recommend you transfering
your work into that for save keeping.
You can get an external HD for $50

I have to resset my laptop every 2-3 months (it's also a compaq)
for some stupid reasons it keeps asking me for an ativation code
and say I have an unlawful Vista...(which is retarded)
My laptop dosn't come with Window's Disc. It has a built in
partition that acts like rebooting disc or Vista disc.
I purchased it new from Staples.

You might also consider the cost of extended warranties ( this is were they get ya.lol)
It's probably another $100....per year.
I dropped my Laptop once...A replacment Screen is $550..which is the same screen as
is on that laptop and other high end HP laptops.
Imagine that...the screen cost more than the laptop..lmao

It's probably going to be around $500 out the door for that PC..after you
get the other gadets ...protection carrying bags...heat sinks, cordless mouse...taxes.
I don't recommend skipping on the extended/damage warrantee becuase of the constant movement
of a laptop, especailly if you're planing on using it to attend classes.

You might also look into other laptop with longer battery life run time.
1 hour average run time is not long if you don't have a place to plug in.
Or you can strave for a couple of months ..don't eat lunch to save for extra batteries.:p

I also recommend you taking an Indian speaking class...lmao

My niece has one of those little note book PC..she uses that for college work and what have ya.
Those don't have dvd drives, web cam, and runs on XP. They're around $300
This latop you're thinking of getting competes again it very will.

lol thanks, but i feel better now :)

Anyway, that laptop looks fine to me, but like Lonesome Crow, i'm not too sure about the Processor. I think they use Sempron Processor's in mobile phones, so that's definitely something you need think about before buying it.

I'll save the link and show it to Knight (he knows alot about computers) later, and i'll ask him to post what he thinks.

It's a 6-cell battery with up to 4 hours run time. The quantity is 1 :p
 
cool thanks for all the advice crow

i'll keep that in mind

i don't do a whole lot of online gaming

basically

i'll need online/wikipedia here youtube

downloading via bit torrent and itunes

so essential software of course would be a web browsers/ chrome or IE

and Microsoft word and powerpoint

anyways i'm glad to hear you're feeling better punisher

:D

sometimes i really wish sleep wasn;t so vital

it feels like an onconvinece so often

but i should get to bed i hope i'll be able to fall asleep

g'night everyone

*goodnight hugs*

:)
 
Six more hours until my vacation starts and just under two days until my daughter arrives. Feeling very happy.
 
Bought 2 tickets to a theme park and hubby doesn't want to go. No1 to ask to go with me and really don't want to go alone. Considering I wasted money to have a good day when I haven't been out in 5 or more years. My life is so pathetic.
 
I'm thinking I hope my cat's OK. He hasn't been eating and is at the vets.

Poor little Cracker!:(
 
aww sorry to hear bout your cat nyktimos :(. I hope n wish him to be back as at his best in no time.

Thinking about stupid sleeping patterns. When I go to bed, I m not sleepy, but when I sit in-front of pc, I fall on keyboard. Maybe I should just sleep on the chair.

Thankyou Sanal! I hope so too. He's been through such a lot in his 11 years, but he's always been such a happy little soul. I'd miss him a great deal if I lost him.

When I'm lying in bed I have too many thoughts rushing around in my head. I sleep better if I'm being distracted by the tv or something.

Exactly. I sleep better when I lie down and listen to music.

I hope your cat is ok too Nyktimos. I think 11 years old is still young for a cat. Mine will be 14 in September and even though she has some problems she still behaves like a kitten. Keep us posted on how things go ok?

*Hugs*

Thankyou Oceanmist. Cracker is also very kitten-like. He has bladder problems which nearly killed him years ago, but we've got them under control with a special diet. If I'm honest, I never expected him to be a long lived cat. But he seems so happy and affectionate still, so I'll pay anything to solve whatever this problem is so long as he's not suffering.
 
I hope Mr Cracker turned out okay.
 
ya i hope he gets better nyktimos

and also i feel so cool i'm playing guitar hero on expert with the sound hooked up to my guitar amp

i may not be able to hear anything for a few days
but i am pretty cool

:p
