I'm going to be getting a laptop soon, and I'm really ignorant about Computers in general, so I'd be really appreciative if I could get some help narrowing down the chioces of what'd be best for me from some of the computer geniuses here. I don't play any sorts of computer games like...

Tonight while talking with my supervisor at his desk, I was startled, when of all things, I saw written in big letters on his laptop..."EVO". My first thoughts were, what is he doing with Evo's laptop? How does he know Evo to steal her laptop? Why hasn't Evo mentioned the loss of her laptop...

So here's the setup: I'm walking out of taco bell in my college's union which exits through the gameroom. I sit down at a seat and watch some people play DDR and this kid comes up next to me (he was at least 18 but you'll see why I call him a kid in a moment) and thinks it would be fashionable...

After a lot of thinking and eBaying I finally gave up and ordered a customized laptop directly from HP. I tried to buy one on eBay from a reseller, but no one had the configuration I was after. Specifically, I couldn't find any models with the WSXGA+ screen which is absolutely a must. So here's...

This is the BEST tool I ever seen out for a darn DELL! The MBM5 sensor and the plugin didn not work nearly as well as this program and you can manually or have it run automatically set your fan speeds. :) Do not worry about starting a fire, the program also contains a max temp in which the fans...

http://www.nexustek.nl/tdd3000.htm This product, which I currently have, claims that the heatpipe system can draw out the heat... well... As you can see on that site the heatpipe is at the worst places beacuse the center of the laptop is where it displaces most heat and where a few heatpipes...

I recently watched a DVD on my laptop, after which, my laptop became seriously over-heated. It wouldn't work properly for about an hour. Is there any (sensible) method of avoiding this, apart from not watching DVDs?

Why are laptop lcds (which can go up 1900x1280 or so) seemingly so cheap compared to external monitors? For example, I can buy a high grade dell laptop for about 2000 (w/1900x1200 screen) but if I want to get an external lcd screen at just 1600x1200, it will be over 2000 for just the screen...
