Ask The Computer Dr. – Netbooks
Friday, June 12th, 2009What is a Netbook and should I get one?
Answer:
Netbooks are very nifty devices for those Internet and E-mail only users. This mini-laptop typically is sold from $300-$500 depending on features like battery size, RAM, Processor, and Storage. For alot of computer users this would be a good fit as long as you understand what you are choosing, otherwise you may be disappointed. Expect to run some basic office programs, and Internet Applications. If you are looking for something to play video intensive games, this will be a paperweight. Portability is the focus on these things so they are small, so if this is a problem, make sure you have one with USB connections and a VGA connector so you can hook it up to a monitor and keyboard/mouse when you are at home. If you have one, or choose to get one, drop me a line to let me know how you like it.

Ask The Computer Dr. – PC Power
Friday, June 5th, 2009Should I turn my computer off when not using it?
Answer:
Typically the answer is yes. If your computer is doing some special task that requires it to stay on, you probably wouldn’t ask this question. Turning off the computer takes care of a few things regarding the maintenance of your PC. If the computer is off, no moving parts are running, and nothing can wear down. Also you won’t be wasting electricity. Second, computers require the opportunity to reset your RAM. Third, if you allow your computer to shut down regularly, you can identify problems with software installs and other problems as they are more likely to show up after the computer boots up.
