I've been editing on a (windows based) desktop and now want and need to transition to notebook computers. I've been assured that notebook computers are now showing specs that can rival any desktop based system (if you have the $$$). Specially HP's Z-Book series which is built with video and …

Hi all, I'm working on a (Python) program which, in short, is a threaded TCP socket server which creates a new "tab" in a wx.Notebook widget for every incoming connection it sees. I've run into a strange problem where when I call notebook.AddPage(...), one of three things happens: 1. A …

Hi. My Gateway notebook- mt6452 - will not power on. I recently updated it to Windows 7. Within a few days, I tried to turn it on and the power button was outlined in blue as if it was turning on, in a few minutes it blinked once. This went …

I very much appreciate this site. While attempting to "fix" my Compaq Presario F763NR (which runs Vista), I deleted a start up file. Now, when I press the "on" button, it lights up for a second then shuts off and my computer won't turn on. I called HP but they …

Hello! When I power on my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pa) the screen turns grey and after a couple of seconds vertical lines of random color start to appear all over the screen. They change their color constantly. External monitor works just fine (through VGA connection). I disassembled the laptop …

I added a second Hard Drive to the extra bay in a HP Pavilion Notebook and it disappers after a few minutes. It then comes back if you reboot and fades out again. Sometimes it will come back and ask you if you want to do something to the new …

Hi all, My ASUS Notebook PC N61J with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 came with "Express Gate" already installed. Is using ASUS Express Gate a must? If yes, why? If not, can I uninstal it without any concern? A million thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Bande

[ATTACH=RIGHT]18505[/ATTACH]The HP Elitebook 8440w should be called [I]work-mobile[/I] not workstation. The word ‘workstation’ implies you are stationary at a big, powerful computer. Not if HP has something to say about it. They've successfully taken the workstation concept and combined it with what a mobile user expects from a notebook. This …

Hey guys, I'm new here and my question is what to use (if it exists) and possibly how to simulate a "notebook" where instead of Tabs I would like to do it with buttons (wx.Button). Being more specific, what I would like to do is to make the same functionality …

I thought the answer to this question was pretty straightforward, to be honest, in that a netbook was smaller, cheaper and less powerful than a notebook. That was until this press release about a couple of new Toshiba models arrived in my inbox which kind of muddies the water somewhat. …

Some 22,000 Acer Aspire Notebooks are being recalled because, according to the [URL="http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10103.html"]U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission[/URL], they represent a burn hazard. Mainly because they have the potential to melt. Hot laptops are nothing new, of course, but generally speaking the seat of the [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry929.html"]fire risk is often to be …

The fact that Hewlett-Packard is taking its netbooks more seriously is to be welcomed. A while ago I was going away and my laptop broke down; armed with my existing 3G dongle and an Asus eeePC I was able to use Google Docs to keep all my work up to …

Apple is making an announcement tomorrow. It's known to be about notebooks and wiser heads than mine are speculating about what it's going to be - so in the meantime I'll present my own wish list for the company. It's not based on any evidence and I haven't based it …
