For xmas, my little sister wants a messenger bag. She has vespa for college, and hates backpacks, so she wants a nice messenger style bag to use for books, computer, etc...

She needs to be able to fit a 17" sell laptop, and maybe another book and notebook in it. I don't want tacky, she's 20 years old. I like the leather ones, but their too expensive. Trying to keep it under $50 if possible...

Any suggestions of what or where to find one?

american eaglee has for $40

For my birthday I just got an HP Pavillion DV9339US (which is awesome so far by the way!). It is a 17" widescreen notebook and I am looking for a bag for it. I would prefer a backpack style (so I can put textbooks in it in the fall) and I would prefer it to not be so bulky. I really liked the Timbuk2 bags, but they're really expensive and don't have one that fits the 17" computers. The dimensions of mine are 15.2 x 11.7 x 1.6 inches. Thanks!

backpack i use is targus

even so i would be careful putting weight against the back of it , as you can cause damage to the screen .

a nice padlock is advisable as well. treat it like you would REAL money... don't leave it laying about..

also bios password it, so if some **** does steal it, they have to go back to the makers to get it fixed

oh and register it / security mark it.

I've Had It For Three Year's. It's At Staples Getting Fixed And When It Comes Back And If It's Fixed It Should Be As Good As New! But Only One Of The Alt Button's Is Missing The Right One Next To The Space Board. It's A HP Pavilion Notebook Bundle. It Comes With The Backpack And Everything! I Really Don't Need It Anymore, How Much Should I Sell It For?! PLEASE HELPPPP!! And Alsoo, I Bought It For 1100!!! Help!!:)) Thank You!
I Don't Want It At All.. And It's Actually A Laptop Not A Computer!! So yeah, And I Need Money! So Yeaaa..

me and my brother are saving up money to get it. but we want to be sure it is good enough to support everything that we do on a computer. we love to play video games and do a lot of internet games and searching. i have the sims 2 and i know it takes up a lot of memory. the one that i have needs at least 32MB to run and some other capable chipsets (i dont know) to run also. please help me. i dont if this computer is capable to run my games plus my brothers game and all the other stuff we need for school. so would this computer do the job and hopefully do it fast.

I think you should get a pc instead of a mac. Most games wont work on a mac and the ones that do are more expensive.

Also its quite slow and old as well. You could get a much faster PC for the same price. I am also not sure the graphics in that Mac would be good enough to run most games.

Something like that will be about 3X as fast.

I'm going to be backpacking around the world this next year, and I need a small, versatile notebook computer to take with me.

I have seen the HP mini-note and it seems underpowered. I have also seen the asus linux machine. Both seem OKAY, but are there any other alternatives out right now? Or that will be released before this August?

I fly out to Germany august 30th, so I have some time still, but I'd like to start looking into it ASAP

Concur with the guys above, vaio is a good option and you should know that the ultra portable one is limited by its own size i.e. cant upgrade ram and slow.

Ok, so I am thinking of getting either an Inspiron e1405 or its slightly larger cousin, the Inspiron e1505. I know the e1405 is about a pound lighter (5.3 versus about 6 pounds), so that makes it a bit more mobile. The important things I am looking for in a notebook? Decent size widescreen (at least 14 inch), light enough for at least occasional travel (I have one of those Dell backpacks), good wireless connectivity, decent audio. In addition to surfing wirelessly, I might use it for light Photoshop work (most work would be done on my desktop computer). Any help on this dilemma would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I suggest u to go for Inspiron e1405... Its good compared to Inspiron e1505.. Infact as per ur usage... both should be fine.. Inspiron e1505 has dualcore processor.. which gives u good performance.. & Inspiron e1405 is good for WiFi... Both come with XP MCE 2005...

So the verdict is - Inspiron e1405

Here’s the deal:
1) I have a 1998 Dell PC w/ Windows98 that crashes about 6 times a day, that has a non-working CD-Rom drive, and which has a broken printer and won’t accept any other printers. Should I get a new computer (hopefully laptop or notebook) or upgrade in order to build a website/blog on my own?
2) I started a Wordpress.com freebie blog and now want to buy my own domain and build from the ground up--how easy is it to move my current content to the new location?
3) I’ve never done any website design but have started learning html through free tutorials on the web. Do I need to learn all the programming stuff first (i.e., xhtml, CSS, etc.) or can I learn as I build?
4) I have a disability which prevents me from carrying things (have to use a walker), so I need a computer light enough to go into a backpack, but effective enough for website building. Any suggestions for laptops or notebooks for $1200 or less?

1) About all you can use is the case - that'll save you about $25. And that's if you upgrade everything yourself. You can buy a decent computer for less than you can build one for.

2) You download the site (use an FTP program. If you have none, Filezilla is good and it's free.) Then just upload (Filezilla again, if the site isn't on your own computer) to the new site. You'll have to set up the database, but if it's MySQL, and you have access to phpMyAdmin (a common setup), it's pretty trivial. Just back the database up (Export) to a file (name of your choice) and download/upload that file along with all the others. Then just run the file (Import) in phpMyAdmin on the new site.

3) You should learn CSS, because you want control over the style of the page. It's not that difficult to pick up the basics. It's difficult to become an expert (I'm still working on that). But you can learn as you work. Javascript, PHP, SQL (the language, not a particular database), the technique called Ajax, DHTML (your page can build itself on the fly). Learning is good - now, on the web, in school, as you go - none of it is bad.

4) I prefer HP, but there are other good ones. (The new Macbook weighs almost nothing, but I've been using Windows for so long that a Mac would be a steep learning curve for me - probably for you.) Go into a store like Best Buy and lift few up. Acer makes good equipment. (I guess it's a personal choice - there are a few makes I won't consider, but evidently they do sell computers.)

You can find all the great products at discounted prices from: www.eblazingtech.com!
