Q. I am currently a college student and have always preferred a desktop. It also appears that it is possible to get more for your money with a desktop, but I am also wondering what the difference is when an I core 5 or 7 is found in a desktop in comparison to a laptop, as well as the difference in graphics cards...also is this laptop a good deal for the money?

Answer
I will give you some pointers but do your own research,
(1) You don't need the i7 for your needs, because it is a quad core hyper threading processor, and you will never scratch the surface of it's power.
(2) Windows 7 Home Premium was never developed for the i processor
(3) Most of the software you will be using will be 32 bit applications
(4) You will need to buy 64 bit application software in the future
If you must go for the i processor then the i5 is the one to go for, it's cheaper and will do the more than you will ever need to do. Next use an alternative operating that is years a head of MS that have already got the drivers for the i processors and capabilities for hyper threading.
Microsoft will not have these capabilities until the release of windows 8 at the end of this year or sometime in 2012, My advice to you is do your research on the Free Linux kernel (operating system). It is supported and developed by Intel, IBM, AMD, Nvidia, ATI,
Linux runs the worlds fastest HPC (High Powered Computers) It runs it Internet, Check out these web links for your research
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/newss/7262/1/
Like I said Linux is years ahead of Microsoft's kernel (operating system)
To download the most upto date Linux operating distributions December 2010 and January 2011 then look here

oh you get all the professional application software that you will ever need or want free . including Office applications

21-26 year old males, what's a good gift?
Ly
What would you like to get as an x-mas gift from your wife/girlfriend? (an item, not something sexual). For $300 or under..
A nice watch? A bicycle for commuting? A remote control car? (Not the toy breakable kind, the kind i've seen some "older" men use at the beach for instance), etc.?
I can't decide what to get my boyfriend of 2 years.. He doesn't really have any hobbies he's really into. All he does is work mostly. He's into technology, but doesn't really have time to use it and he hasn't really invested in any besides a Mac laptop that he uses occasionally.
I said nothing sexual. Are there no mature males here?
Answer
How about any of these to think about for your boyfriend. You don't have to get any of them as a gift IF you don't want to, but it might give you ideas or something comes to mind.
