I hate that some rest areas or restaurants dont have where to charge a laptop. Does the size of laptop affect the car battery? How expensive are the car chargers?

I have a Compaq Presario C502 laptop, Dell Inspiron laptop, and a Asus netbook. Its always good to have access to a computer during an emergency.
The Compaq is mine, the other ones are my sisters. Mine is the bulkiest one. Netbooks are easier to carry.

I recently got an Acer netbook 250 with a crystal eye webcam built in, but it doesnt record video’s do i need to download anything? and if so what?

I’m going away for my sophmore year in college in the fall and I’m planning on buying a laptop.

Here’s what I want/need it for:

-HAS TO BE windows based
-writing papers and doing school work
-downloading and playing music
-possibly playing movies (not required)-
-surfing the internet
-using instant messaging services
-checking e-mail
-all the very basic computer use stuff.

I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend, I’m hoping nothing more than $800/$900 at the VERY most. (hopefully under that much)

Any suggestions?

I got a netbook from Verizon and I was wondering if you could get caught downloading music from the internet.

I recently bought a advent 5611 laptop but can’t connect it wirelessly through our router. We have another laptop which connects straight away. I can’t figure it out!
It says it wireless enabled so thats not the problem.
Am i missing something out?

I recently bought a netbook and I was able to connect it to the current printer that I have, but I also want to get a mobile printer. Does aanyone know if I can do that? What is the best mobile printer for netbooks?

My question pretty much says it all. I’m a public school teacher going back for my masters through a 100% online program. I am about to sell my desktop and purchase a laptop. I want great reliability and speed for a price that is preferably under $1300. I know that’s a stretch but I want to know if anyone has any suggestions out there. Thanks.

Many mice come with drivers on CDs. Most or all netbooks don’t have cd or dvd drives. What is a good mouse I can use for a netbook?
