New Laptop + New Desktop
new laptops

Image by Ninithedreamer
I bought a new laptop yesterday. My old one has been on the fritz for over a year and I was at the point where I was restarting it 4 times a day. So it was time for a new one and with the pre-January laptop sales I got one pretty reasonably priced. And, I decided that it meant it was time for a new desktop image. So I picked the one that makes me smile the most these days- Max having a tea party :-)

Thank you Rivka Bauman for the wonderful image of Max.

Q&A: Will I be able to play Region 1 DVDs on my Blu Ray Laptop?

Question by zuper_buu: Will I be able to play Region 1 DVDs on my Blu Ray Laptop?
I own way too many Region 1 DVDs and can’t take a dvd player with me to university, so all I have is my laptop. It has Blu Ray, will it play Region 1?

Best answer:

Answer by forcelessyoda
You can set the Region on any DVD disk drive up to 5 different times.
You can do this by going to the Hardware Manager and then right-clicking on and selecting properties. One of the the tabs will say DVD Region.
You can also try to go on the internet and find a firmware that is Region Free and flash the firmware for your Blu-Ray drive.
If you have Regions 1 DVD’s and your Blu-Ray’s are Region 2 then you would have to change regions each time you switch. If you have a similar case then you will need to try to find a region-free firmware or hack.

There are also some apps that allow you to remove region on a drive no matter what drive you have. Be weary of these though, many contain viruses.

I have the White Macbook from 2010 ( this one : http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/apple-macbook-2010.aspx ) and i need a new charger! does anyone know if this one will work on it?

Any and all MagSafe chargers work. They all supply the same voltage. A charger for a MacBook Pro will charge the battery faster. The Air charger takes longer. I own a MacBook Pro, a polycarbonate MacBook, and a MacBook Air. I plug them into whatever charger is handy, and no problems ever.

The adapters come in 45 watt, 60 watt, and 85 watt. The higher the power, the heavier the adapter, and the faster it charges the battery pack. There was a straight-in MagSafe connector on early models, but Apple only sells the new one now, with slim fit for lower chance of accidental damage. Your eBay page shows an older style connector. Either connector fits older or newer computers. I do not recommend using a 45 watt power adapter for a 17″ MacBook Pro, as it needs a lot of power to play HD video or games on the big screen.

Right now I have a laptop and speakers, when i plug in the speakers they work fine, but is there a way to get my speakers to work and my laptop speakers to work at the same time. I have a Sony Vaio laptop and my speakers are Logitech if that helps. Thankyou.

No. The speaker system in laptops is designed to be an either or situation. Either the built or the external speakers, but not both.
