Problems began a month after it delivered...I've asked for a new unit...told they can't do that. No way in hell I ever give them another dime...trying to talk to someone in the states to appeal is also impossible...Never Again...try calling India once a month for the last five months and spending hours on the phone...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill Flick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2008 11:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</guid><description><![CDATA[In response to hamrammr, I believe that he would mean 2GB worth of RAM, as 2GB hard drives haven't been made in quite a number of years, and wouldn't even hold your operating system. XP's "sweet spot" is 2GB of RAM, and Vista's is 4GB. However, both will run with less, I likely wouldn't run Vista with less than 2GB. The writer of the article (probably to keep from being too techincal) doesn't mention that laptops also share the video memory with the RAM, so a 2GB laptop with a 256mb video card only really has 1.75GB of RAM.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2008 11:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</guid><description><![CDATA[i realy enjoy your article on five to consider,<br>when buying a laptop. how can i print it? so i can take it with me when i buy my laptop?<br>thank you<br>miguel]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MIGUEL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2008 12:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/02/04/five-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-laptop-5/</guid><description><![CDATA[THE 5 THINGS ARTICLE IS VERY HELPFUL.HOWEVER,ALL I NEED A LAPTOP FOR IS USING THE KEYWORD TO BOOT UP MY APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND EMAILING MY ASSOCIATES.
