I am pretty sure it is, but just thought I’d get a little more input… It’s an HP Nx9010 laptop, 2.4 ghz, Mobil Intel Pentium 4, used but in excellent condition, 80gig hard drive, cdrw/dvd rom, 512mb ram, ATI video card, 3 usb ports, 15inch display, built in wireless adapter, battery, power supply, has Windows XP Professional installed, and battery holds a good charge. —->0.00

What do you think?

This is what I know at the moment when buying a laptop:
1) Hard disk drive: 80 Gb or greater
2) RAM: 512 MB (2GB or greater..better)
3) Processor: 2.1GHz
4) Numerous USB ports, well as VGA, DVI,serial, PC card slot, and parallel ports
5) Integrated 802.11g wireless adapter (WiFi) compatibility
6) Warranty: at least 2 year on both software and hardware issues(better)
7) Intels new Core 2 Duo CPU’s or AMD
Battery life: want 12-cell, but a 9-cell is alright
9) I want Windows XP Pro
10) dual 8800gtx sli ( I have no idea what this means, can someone explain this one to me)
11) Built-wireless and CD/DVD burner
12) Rotational speed hard drive 7200 RPM
13) Screen size: 14" to 15.4" (I want light weight but big enough to read what I am typing)
14) I would also like to be able to connect my digital camera to it.

I think I have research everything I think I need to know, but if anyone can add please feel free to do so. I just don’t know which brand is better than the other.

I had big problems with my laptop as far as viruses, so i re installed windows 7 home 32 bit. My laptop cannot find my home network or my neighbors but all the other wireless devices including other laptops can. i have a Atheros wireless adapter and a linksys router. Please help! could it be a corrupt driver or something?

—————–VERY descriptive version———————————————————-

I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Pre. 32 bit on my laptop because i wanted to format the hard drive, Start fresh, and I think my computer was infected, AVG kept warning me and every time i would remove the problem but more kept popping up. Would that of done something?
RIght now i have a Compaq Presario CQ60 (not sure if i need to tell you that but im trying to be descriptive as possible.). My wireless adapter is a Atheros AR5007 802.1 1b/g wifi adapter (copying everything my computer says) and i am using a Linksys wireless broadband router (model no. WRT160N) and i had the LELA software installed before i re installed windows 7.
As of now i am connected viaEthernett cable and all my other wirelessDevicess (i.e. iPod touch, and 3 other family member’s laptops) can find not only my network but my neighbor’s too.
When im not plugged into the router it says that i am not connected toany networkk and none areavailablee. I tried tomanuallyy add the network but thatdidn’tt workeitherr. Could it be that the infection i had before could of screwed up my adapter? Should i try to reinstall the drivers? Please help, usually im good with computers but ihaven’tt had muchexperiencee with wireless adapters!
OMG C++ i feel like a total idiot! Here i am the smartest person in the house when it comes to computers and i forgot to check the witeless button. (the new compaq and HP laptops have an adapter button next to the power button!) I was on sombody else’s laptop and i look over at mine after you said that and the button was read instead of blue telling me that it is offline! thanks for finding my dumb sh*t mistake, ill give you best answer when i get the option!

wireless adapter card

I have a wireless network in my house, with two printers and an external hard drive hooked up to a desktop computer in my living room. I can get to all my files, music, and stuff on the desktop computer from my laptops when I’m in the network IF the desktop computer is on, which is great; but I’d like to be able to access my stuff without always having to leave it on. So is there some kind of wireless adapter or something that I can plug in my wireless hard drive and 2 printers (all USB) into that will let me access them from my laptop even if my desktop is not on?
I’ve got a wireless router with ethernet ports.

Is there any way to make this work with my existing hard drive? I’d rather not buy another one, that has "NAS"

I have an HP Pavilion ze4400 with Windows XP, and a Western Digital 100gb USB portable hard drive (which i use like a mega flash drive). I recently bought a Linksys Wireless-N USB Network Adapter #WUSB300N to use for connecting to public wifi spots for the purpose of downloading large files (i only have dial-up at home) onto my portable hard drive (the laptop has almost no room, 32gb originally) since the built-in wireless adapter is both outdated, and limited in strength. While the Linksys adapter works perfect in browsing the net at 100mb/s connection, the problem is that if i plug my usb hard drive in first, verify it is running and accessible, and then plug in the USB wifi adapter, suddenly the usb HD disappears like i had unplugged it, without having even touched it or its connection to the laptop. I know that the laptop has worked both USB ports simultaneously before, this is my first time seeing a problem like this. Thoughts or suggestions on what to try, or alternatives?

My laptop is a gateway m-1625. and i downloaded the drivers and now my camera works but i tried to do the same thing for my wireless adapter and it installed but it didnt work it says my wireless adapter is turned off and idk what to do
