Question by : How do i download google chrome from one laptop to another?
On one of my laptops I need to access the internet, but internet explorer is down on that laptop. I am trying to download google chrome or firefox or whatever on to a flash drive. I download it on to the flash drive and put it in the other laptop. Then, I put the flash drive in the other laptop and click on google chrome, but it says can’t access or something like that. Help!

Best answer:

Answer by Jav
To install Chrome you need an active internet connection, so you may make your way easier by downloading Firefox or another installer that provides the full package and try with it. Once installed, if it can’t access either, then you have to check the security features of the system.

Which of these two advent laptops are better?

Question by Mickster: Which of these two advent laptops are better?
Ok, pc world are selling two versions of an advent laptop, one is this one:

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1037858031.1189937478@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceeaddlmmdlddjcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=019570&category_oid=

The next is not on their website, but is the same but with a webcam built in, 2gb of ram and a 1.8ghz processor. Its also £100 more

Basically is it worth the extra hundred and will it make that much difference. Also if i want to play games (half life 2 etc)does it matter that the graphics card is shared, and will the spec of the processor etc make up for this? Do i need the extra gb of ram?

Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Etherel
For a windows vista machine, I’d definately suggest having the extra RAM. And think about it: You’re probably going to use this laptop for a long time, and probably quite often. Isn’t it worth it to spend more money now that will benefit you for countless hours over the next couple years?

If you can though, I’d drop the webcam. Laptop webcams aren’t always the snazziest and can be a bit pricey.

i want to buy good condition second hand laptops. which is the best option

Best answer:

Answer by stelian g
Well, it depends on the purpose you are planning to use it for.
In general, I would recommend a popular brand like IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell or Apple.
In these cases you are on the good side on issues like reliability, quality and maybe rest warranty, since those vendors have good service, at least here in Europe. Another point is that these machines do not drop that much in price the moment you purchase them, meaning you could resell it and still be able to buy something else with the money :)
Hope this was useful.
