Christine
I want to do school work, media, youtube, movies, webcam and maybe some kids games on the lap (kid learning game, nothing crazy) but farmville and FB (my son, lol). I want a HP laptop to accommodate all of this but I want to know what is best for all this in each category and why. Processor and why? Memory and why? Hard Drive and why? Intel or AMD and why? GB and why? Read Speed and why? Data Links and why? GHz and why? MB and why? MHz and why? Write speed and why? What is Brightview LED display? What is Window 7 Home Premium? Dual Core and why? Is a HP Pavillion dv6 or 7 good, great or no? Please help me?
Answer
OK lets begin. First off any basic laptop with a build in webcam should be fine for what you say you want to do with it. However to answer your sets of whys...
Processor - I have no preference between Intel and AMD both are good manufacturers and make
great CPU's. How ever Intel has Chips with 2 processors in them and they put 2 on a
computer giving it 4 processors (Quad Core)
Memory - this is where the computer stores everything that is being used(ie computer program
code, images, documents, etc). So the more the better I recommend at least 6GB Ram
Read and Write Speed - this refers to the CD/DVD/Blue Ray player/recorder. The faster this is the
quicker the computer can access the information on the disk and the faster it can write to
the disk. The standard included model is good enough for me. Writing a CD of music
takes my drive about 2 minutes and I donated it quicker than that.
GHz - refers to the processor speed. The higher this is the faster the computer can perform
computations. Again the faster the better.
Dual core - This means it has 2 processor chips and can do twice as many calculations at once or
what usually happens is it can do the same calculations twice as fast. Intel has Core
Duo which is 2 processors on one chip which they double up to Quad Core which is
what I recommend.
Bright view LED - is the display. This model makes the picture bright enough to see in day
light you don'thave to shade the screen. I do recommend not getting the gloss screen if
possible as it causes more glare and in day light conditions it can make it harder to read
the screen.
As far as the OS goes. Windows 7 is the latest and greatest out right now. Some people prefer linux. Also Chrome OS comes out on June 15, 2011. It is such a compact OS and everything stores online it is quicker and easier to use and no matter what computer you go on that has it your documents, games, and settings are already there.
Now HP PPavilion is a low grade computer with low grade part jammed into the smallest case it can fit in. Get a dell.

is the GeForce GTX 460 video card old for June 2012?
Pierre
If so what would you recommend upgrading to, that is quick? Im looking for a really fast video card for Diablo III and Guild Wars 2 I just want to know if mine is old and if it should be swapped since it feels like its performance has been diminishing. I got it along with my notebook/laptop in mid 2011. Thanks!
Oh and im sorry i misstyped this but its a GeForce GTX 460M.
apparantly the 485m is the fastest out right now but i cant find a seller..what else would you recommend? I wouldnt be able to install the card that you just mentioned into my laptop Harin right?
Answer
The gtx 460m is still good for gaming it's just amd took off and jump two series above nvidia and nvidia followed by coming out with the kepler series , the gtx 675m is the fastest graphic card which will be followed by the gtx 680m which will hit the market soon, the minimum nvidia graphic card is the gtx 560m , now unless your laptop is custom made the graphic card in your laptop can't be changed
