    I'm buying a new laptop, but I need YOUR help!

    I'm sick of using outdate techonology so I've decided to buy a fancy new laptop to replace my dying one. I would like to spend as little as possible but I'd be willing to go as high as about $1000 if necessary. More than anything I want it to be fast. I hate waiting for my computer to drag its...

    Why does my internet connection only work for one computer?

    I've tried finding a solution online but with no luck. I have a desktop that has an ethernet cord plugged in coming from the little cable router box thing. I've tried unplugging the cord from the desktop and plugging it into my laptop but I can't get a connection with it. I've tried messing with...

    I asked for an external HDD for Christmas and my dad asked me what brand and model he should look for. Also, what size is the best for the price?

    What laptop would be best for my major (civil engineering)?

    I'm starting my freshman year of college in a week and I know that eventually I'm going to need to buy a new laptop. I have one now but it doesn't do much more than type papers and surf the internet, plus it's only Windows 2000. I'm going to wait and see if I'll absolutely need a new one this...

    Any deals on rechargeable AA batteries and SD cards?

    I just got a digital camera and I'm in need of a larger SD card (1 or 2GB min.) and some rechargeable AA batteries so I won't have to keep buying new ones. I know about the free after GCO 2GB card at buy.com but I can't seem to get it to work for me anymore. If I can't find anything better I'll...

    Cheap NBA jerseys?

    I'm looking to buy either a Dwight Howard, Baron Davis, or Gilbert Arenas jersey but I can't bring myself to spend $50 on one. I'd be perfectly fine with a worn down one but I can only seem to find new ones on ebay. Any possibility of getting a jersey for under $30?

    What are you currently reading? Post here!

    This thread is for people to discuss what they are reading and to give recommendations to others. I'm currently about 100 pages into You Shall Know Our Velocity! by Dave Eggers. I really liked his writing in A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius so I decided to read more from him. My next...

    If you aren't getting any use out of Tetris DS, sell it on ebay.

    I just sold my complete copy for over $50 with shipping. Not bad considering I bought it new for $30 nearly 2 years ago.

    How little can you spend on a cell phone?

    I've never really needed one until now. I wouldn't talk nearly enough for most plans and most are too expensive for me. Are there any basic, bare bones plans for cheap? Are those prepaid plans good deals?

    What are some nice and cheap hair clippers?

    I've had my mom cut my hair for a while now but she doesn't always have the time and I feel bad asking her to fix things I don't like about it. I've decided I'm just going to cut my own hair with some hair clippers and some scissors.

    What musical instrument(s) do you play?

    Tell us what you play/how long you've played/if you're in a band or not/etc. Feel free to upload a concert or some recordings, too! I used to play alto sax in my school band back in 5th grade and I've messed around with guitar since I was like 12. I don't play anything at the moment but I'm...

    Best Trivial Pursuit?

    I'm wanting to buy the game, but there are so many different versions and I don't know which I should get. I want overall trivia, not specific to sports, pop culture, movies, books, etc. I also don't want one that will be incredibly hard. I'd like it to be fairly up to date, but I'm not too...

    Any CAGs have experience with Final-Score.com?

    The past few years I've seen the great deals they have but I was always a little weary. I assume they're safe to deal with since they're part of Eastbay, but you never know. I've also never understood how I would know if a shoe will fit or not (most of their stuff is discontinued so I couldn't...

    I won't be able to go the wired route so I'm going to have to get a wireless bridge when I buy a 360. Any deals on reliable wireless bridges?

    How often do ipods go on sale?

    I'm looking to buy a 30GB or maybe even an 80GB if I can find it cheap enough. I'm liking the $200 price tag for a refurb 30GB at Apple's store. I remember back in October they were selling 30GB's for $180 and 60GB's for $230, I'd like to see prices like those again. :D Any chance I'll see the...

    Would there be a problem with using a laptop while riding in a car?

    I'm going on vacation next week and I'm bringing my laptop so people can check e-mails and do online courses. I was wondering if it would be harmful to my laptop if I used it while I was riding in the car.

    Could my laptop handle video editing?

    I got it used and I believe it was released around 2001 or 2002. It's Pentium III 1.06 gHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows 2000 Professional SP 4, Radeon 16 MB video card (that's what it should have but I can't find it in my device manager), USB 1.1, and no Firewire port. Is it even possible to upload...

    Are national newspaper or news magazine subscriptions ever free or cheap?

    I've been looking but I can't find any deals. 56 issues of Time for $30 is pretty good but I can always just go to my library and read for free. I'm looking for deals on USA Today, Time, Newsweek, etc.
