You need to choose a laptop that is inexpensive.
Needed for working with design programs, office and watching movies.
Another question - is it necessary to take it with preinstalled Windows 7 and can I then reinstall it to XP that is more convenient for me?
Rina
Ol, in any case, do not take with 7 vents. The fact is that the home version, which is licensed, and which costs reasonable money, is greatly reduced. I was faced with the fact that on a laptop with a license, we are forced to scan documents for each page separately to launch the scan master. And other "funny little things", such as the fact that not all applications and programs with the seven work. That is, do not overpay for the preinstalled Windows. It's easier to take only with DOS and then install XP. By the way, XP does not see more than 3 gigabytes of RAM.

I know that on all new laptops, my men reinstall Windu to their clients

ukka Take with 7 koi home extended, Hryun is already yesterday!
It will update itself, the "medicine" will not fly off, less "headache"
By manufacturers in descending order ASUS, SONY, HP, SAMSUNG .... at the very end of ACER
Ukka
I myself do not want to take with a 7. Nra XP, and there are fewer problems with it. That is the question - is it possible to demolish the finally preinstalled vents 7?
And as for the manufacturers - can someone say something about Lenovo?
sazalexter
ukka With XP preinstalled, it has long been out of stock, so you will be installing pirate, XP support ends in April 2012
Lenovo - Chinese ODM manufacturer of laptops that used to be IBM, forgot to indicate it somewhere between HP and SAMSUNG.
After 7-ki, you can put XP, you can downgrade, only starting with 7-pro. You can work in virtual machine mode (that is, in a 7ki environment, run XP as a guest) only in 7 pro and 7 maximum.

We lived with a pirate, and we will live on ... Although it is dangerous ...
Rina
Why is it dangerous with a pirate? It is dangerous for those who sit in official offices with pirated copies (we had a check at the institute, but this did not lead to anything).

Ol, you will not manage large sums through a computer. If it "knocks", then you will install a light license (home license has a relatively affordable price).

With pre-installed vents, I'll tell you what. While the computer is under warranty, you will lose the warranty if you demolish the system. You can try to put Hryushka as a second OS.
sazalexter

Display diagonal: 14 "
Processor type: Celeron
Processor model: T3100
Processor frequency: 1.9 GHz
Chipset: Intel GL40
The laptop is super budget, the Celeron stone is weak, only for leisurely work in the office and the Internet
ukka Most importantly, if you want XP, go to the manufacturer's offsite and see if there is firewood for XP for this model
And then the manufacturers for many laptops do not write firewood for XP anymore!
Threat design programs are these what? Archicad? or what? They have their own minimum requirements!

I like the seven. Vista (hanging) - that yes, annoying. XP cannot be installed on every new beech. I see that many live peacefully with the preinstalled Windows. When we walked with Vista, there was a boom in "reinstall". Now with a seven - a rarity, only with the argument "XP is more familiar". Well, as before everyone found fault with XP and wanted only 98. But it's not always possible.
IMHO asus - most often they bring it if they themselves broke it. the most frequently found in the repair - rover and HP. this is so, personal observation ...

Girls and boys bought a Lenovo G570 laptop 1.5 years ago. No complaints about the work. But here's the problem. The left mount flew. In the store where I took it, Optima-Crimea, there is a service center, but they said they did not receive the details on Lenovo, only under warranty. In another service in Simferopol, they said that there are no parts either, but they fill the mount with something.
Now I read reviews about this model, it turned out that this problem is widespread. Pts disappointed. And it turned out that there was no HDMI connector, another disappointment.
sazalexter
Julia V Look for a killed laptop of the same model for services and the Internet. A very frequent breakdown, a laptop drenched in coffee or cognac, if after an espresso, then you can still revive, and if a latte macchiato is spilled, then a corpse. Kids often hit the matrix. Here is the post of this, the cases with mounts remain.
Julia V
sazalexter, thanks, tomorrow I'll take you to the service, I'll ask. But I was disappointed in the laptops. it is so -technique if "take away" is necessary. I want to buy a computer for the house again. Do not tell me which monitor is better (firm) Ski or Dell. Tomorrow I'll go buy already. I also want a diagonal of 22 or 24 inches. Do you think it will be okay to work in Verda? You don't want a diagonal less, but more probably it makes no sense, this is already a TV set

The same story, only ASUS and with the right mount. They took it to the service, it was for my model that there were no mounts, they did not fit from the arcs. The master had to cut it out himself. Nout was 2 years old. After the repair, I immediately sold it and bought myself a new one, now I don’t close it every time after use. So it stands on a table near the sofa open.

In the store where I took it, Optima-Crimea, there is a service center, but they said they did not receive the details on Lenovo, only under warranty.
So when I bought a new laptop, I thought Lenovo could take it. The store was immediately warned if suddenly there would be a repair problem. I bought another ASUS model again. Asus said they are the easiest to maintain and repair, and relatively inexpensive.
Julia V
If I had known my mother liked Lenovo outwardly, but the technical specifications suited me. I didn't even read reviews on the internet. Now I'm sitting here monitoring the computer market
Lika, but I can't hear what about your sold laptop. The mount works this or how.
LLika
No, I can’t hear when the seller warned that the mount was self-made. It took 2 months to call me and did not offer to return.
Julia V
I phoned another service, they also offered this option. cut out by ourselves, but the price was not announced.
And as we bought the laptop, we opened and closed it 10 times a day
LLika
It cost me 170 UAH. But there was one "but", in principle, this served as an action to sell the laptop. The master loosened the spring that holds the lid (he said, if you tighten it, it can break again) and it began to open and close very easily. I accidentally hooked on the lid, it bangs against the coprus, I was already stunned, then my husband closed the laptop, the lid slipped off his fingers and again bang-x-x.
So, Julia, ask around in the service if the lid will still hold tight. Or is it such a master came to me.

Thank you so much for your advice

Alexander, thanks for the help! My sister is soon 77, lives far away and alone, after an injury she has not left home for 2 years. TV, crosswords, books are her friends. Son, grandson are working, you can't chat with them. I make long distance calls - it's expensive, just a nightmare! I hope that she will be able to accept this new "reality" called the Internet and it will be at least a little more fun and interesting for her to live

grinaty,
When dad (71 years old) fell seriously ill, my sister and I bought him a tablet. We bought a cheap one, but we had to suffer with it. Now one thing, now another. It hangs, it does not turn on, etc. But in principle, if you do not save much on the purchase, then this is also an option. Dad was very, very happy, he mastered everything. I searched for books and films for myself, and read and watched them online. Let's hope your sister will enjoy using the Internet.
I myself work reclining and bought a special table on wheels for the laptop, which is very convenient.
grinaty
sazalexter, Chamomile1, Thank you!
For some reason, it seems to me that a laptop will be easier for her than a tablet, given the fact that she has never communicated with a computer. I sincerely hope that the opportunity to meet almost in real life, see a photo, and then find something interesting on the network will help her overcome her fear of this device.However, honestly, I worry about this no less than from choosing a laptop

I think yes. Personally, I didn't like the tablet. It is more usual to press buttons. But dad is completely recumbent, it is difficult for him even to turn. Therefore, the tablet was more convenient. Although, perhaps dad quickly got used to it precisely because there were no buttons, a mouse, but you can immediately press your finger and everything opens.

So it's time for me to change my laptop. I used to change it every year, but here it's the same for three years. Which manufacturers would you recommend? and can there be discounts somewhere now? Needed on Windows, since the working program is only for her / him.
Alex100
Evgeniya, manufacturer Asus, what budget do you want to spend
What tasks are required?
Vinochek
Required for the work of a translator (human, not machine).
Here are the program requirements:
System requirements
Hardware Requirements:
CPU: Intel Pentium IV 1GHz
RAM: 1 GB
HDD: 2 GB
Screen resolution 1024x768 or higher
For optimal performance, we recommend using a modern
processor with
Dual Core technology or compatible
from 2
GB of RAM or more.

And these are the requirements of the updated version, which I will most likely switch to in the near future.

A lot of work with text and graphic editors, including Photoshop, AutoCAD.
And, of course, nobody canceled watching the movie)
Wi-Fi, preferably at least 3 usb ports.

The last three times were HP, before that Asus.
The budget is up to 30,000. You can buy it anywhere in Russia. They can bring it from Moscow in the near future.
Alex100
up to 30,000, as a rule, quite mediocre cars, with cheap matrices with a crooked resolution
here is this model with good characteristics (full HD resolution)
laptop ASUS G56JR, 90NB03Z5-M04080


of course it turns out too much

When choosing a laptop, pay attention not to the manufacturer, but to the filling, the number of connectors and their availability, as well as the criteria that you need from the device. Not always a famous brand and its models that others are happy with may suit you for your goals. Of course, the better the manufacturer, the more likely it is to get a good device with the right selection. Do not trust the choice of sellers in stores, they immediately understand whether a person understands computers or not and will impose what is profitable for them to sell. If you do not understand computers, it is better to contact people who understand this (they can be your friends or ask for help on online forums on laptops and computers). Then you are more likely, with the help of their advice, to choose the laptop that suits you.
I am very good at technology, I assemble computers myself, install software, read a lot of information, follow the latest trends, study reviews and characteristics of various equipment. Therefore, all the equipment that I acquire for myself and select for others (taking into account all the wishes and necessary characteristics) has served faith and truth for many years, and most importantly it suits in terms of price - functionality - service life. The selection of equipment sometimes takes a whole month, but it's worth it.
2 months ago I bought myself a new laptop (old Samsung, after serving 6 years, died quietly). Here's a model and its characteristics:
Acer E 15 (E5-571G-55TR): Intel Core i5 processor - 4210U 1.7GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz; discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 840M with 2 GB Dedicated VRAM; RAM 6 GB DDR3 L Memory (maximum size 16 GB); hard drive 1000 GB HDD; USB 2.0 connectors - 2 pcs., USB 3.0 - 1 pc., VGA (D-Sub), HDMI, mic./out. Combo headphones, LAN (RJ-45); DVD-RW optical drive, internal; screen resolution 15.6 inches, 1366x768, widescreen, matte; network card 1000 Mbps; wireless communication Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n; SD card reader; battery capacity 2500 mAh, number of battery cells 6, battery type Li-Ion. This model fully meets my needs in terms of price and functionality.
I wish everyone to make the right choice and happy shopping !!!
sazalexter
tefteliGod grant that your choice will work. However, I won't advise Acer to anyone, even if you pay extra. Strange company
besides, it does not produce equipment preferring to mold a label on OEM products of the same Foxconn.
Alex100
tefteli, with all due respect, but Acer laptops had to deal with different price ranges. The quality is so-so ...
In your laptop, the main disadvantage is a cheap matrix with a crooked resolution
Of course, each person has their own preferences, but the monitor is still the basis.
As a travel option, it is suitable, but for everyday tasks ...

By the way, I always choose by the filling inside and this is not always a famous brand. This always works, not only in my case with a laptop, but also with other technology. And the most interesting thing for everyone to whom I select equipment and to whom I assemble computers everything works perfectly. My choice fell on Acer because it suited me in all respects and for my budget. By the way, for others, such a model may not work, so the choice should always be made based on your needs (what tasks you set and why) and budget. In general, I love computers most of all, this is where you can roam and accelerate. Asus has good motherboards, but recently (due to the Chinese assembly) they began to give up their positions, now I prefer MSI (I also like video cards). I do not impose my opinion, this is purely my opinion.

My priority was the matte screen, it is the least harmful in comparison with the glossy one (which is the majority now). The resolution for my eyes fits perfectly. By the way, for a higher resolution, a larger screen is also needed, but for 15.6 inches this resolution is normal. And again, the price issue is no less important when choosing. I wonder what other laptop with similar parameters will cost me 25 tr.?
I disagree with you about the travel option - it holds little battery for such laptops. He copes with everyday tasks very well: Office, Photoshop, Internet, music works at the same time. In general, to each his own.

What does the resolution and diagonal screen size have to do with it? You have a cheap matrix on a laptop with a curve resolution
Even when watching HD movies, you see the wrong picture
Yes, with such a budget, it is better not to find an option, but it is better to pay extra and have a comfortable screen with good color rendering
If everything triples you, I admit it)

A personal computer can bypass any laptop in performance. Unfortunately, in mobile devices, everything depends on the video card. But there is a significant drawback in a PC, this is primarily noise and dust, well, and excessive electricity consumption.

As for films, I agree with you, it is better not to watch on such a screen and resolution, for these purposes there are Full HD TVs. The fact is that the old laptop died overnight and an urgent replacement was required, so the budget was limited. If one hundred thousand would have taken another.
As for the noise on the PC, I partially agree with you, but with the correct selection of fans and PC case, the noise is minimal.My last PC built for my teenager (like a game machine for heavy games) makes minimal noise at high settings and is quieter than my previous Samsung laptop. You can always overclock a PC and change everything that cannot be said about laptops.
You must always select everything carefully, keeping within the budget.

I would like to add on the dust. Laptops also accumulate a lot of dust, but it's much easier to clean a PC from dust than a laptop, believe my experience (I cleaned PCs and laptops many times).

Valentine, I used to collect computers too, resell them) experimented
I tried to put special regulators on the rotation of the fans (I even specially bought "Carlsons" with a large number of blades)
Well, for six months or a year, the noise is of course minimal, but then the hum starts anyway) Overclocking for about a year gives stable work, then try to test your memory and so on, you will be unpleasantly surprised ...
For games, it is still better to use game consoles, an indescribable experience)
A good powerful PC, it is more for working with 3D graphics, with video

The noise signals the presence of dust or overheating of the processor and video card (I have three fans on it). Therefore, as soon as the noise increases, I clean the PC, test the processor, look at the south and north bridges, and clean the comp. While helping. In general, for a year now I have been using temperature sensors on the processor, on the video card, on the motherboard in the area of ​​the south and north bridges, as well as fan speed sensors.
