need some laptop advice Well, i finally have enough money saved up to get myself a laptop, only problem is i have no idea what to get. I have no idea what people are talking about when they mention RAM, Ghz, etc. So i come to you basil, to help point me in the right direction. I guess i'll start with what i'm looking for. I am looking for a reliable laptop, that will last me a good number of years, as i do not want to be constantly be purchasing laptops, so something solid, and reliable. I'll be using this laptop to play maple, download music, some photoshop, and some microsoft word, nothing too fancy. I have about $1,000 saved up, so hopefully that should give me a somewhat wide range of good laptops. Ahy help is appreciated, thank you so

laptop diagnosis price check so, i'm thinking about selling my moms old laptop that no one has used in over a year. I do not know much about computers so i was hoping someone here could diagnose what it wrong with it and possibly give me a price check. the laptop is a compaq presario 4500 laptop. the problems with the laptop include: not turning on unless plugged in to a charger, and also once on and connected to charger, the slightest movement of the laptop will shut it off. any help is appreciated. thanks :p
