Silent laptop, purchase advice needed

Actually, what I really would like is a device that I could use as a "surfboard" in the knee or set up to be a "movie-presenter" if needed. If I'd find that piece then the budget is much more higher. Windows is not needed, what I want is support for: surf flash (yes, I know it is totally...

Silent laptop, purchase advice needed

Thx! I'm looking at a Dell Studio 17" as we speak. (The 16" version is only in XPS-family and a little too expensive for me) The noise factor is the most important one for me. Is it better to get integrated graphics rather than dedicated graphics? With integrated the CPU will work more and get...

Silent laptop, purchase advice needed

I think I've changed my mind a little, it will probably be a 17" screen. Anyone has any thoughts about these two? ASUS K72JK http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=NqTBfKrWQHc4AcRu or MSI CR720 http://www.msi.com/index.php?news_no=939&func=newsdesc

Formatting

Ok, this is not really important. But I's like to know a little more about formatting. I am going to give one of my old HD's (not Harleys of course) to a friend. I have formatted it once. Ok, now the information is still there but no "pointers" (I'm not really sure how it works) to the...

lol - I understand the point - as I have stated, but I thought that someone in here actually knew... But don't compare mechanics with electronics - I don't think that's really fair. I have a reason to ask this, but before I do anything I'd like to know if there really is current on the three...

by the way, I have done several "hot flash" of BIOS and that is no problem - but that might not have anything to do with CMOS - or?

What happens if I clear CMOS when running the computer?

Well there is surely a risk to CLRCMOS without removing all the cables, but that is something that I never do. I have always cleared CMOS with power cable connected to PSU but of course with the computer turned off. And I sure do understand that it is no good idea to clear CMOS while it is...

I haven't done that - I'm just wondering what would happen if I did that. I'm just thinking there is room for another product on the market...

Might seem to be a stupid question, but what happens if I accidently would clear CMOS when the computer is up and running?
