they both have the same cpu
they both have the same ram
both have the same hard drive.
the monitor in yours is better cause its led back lit.
yours has a better graphics card.

Is it possible to convert an ASUS laptop into an HP laptop by doing a full system restore using the HP discs?

Q. My daughter's 3-year-old ASUS has been nothing but trouble (a missing webcam program and screwy drivers) and the ASUS help sites are of no help at all. I was wondering if I could successfully install my HP discs into her laptop?

A. No that won't work.

http://support.asus.com/download/options.aspx?SLanguage=en&type=1

Use that link to get proper drivers for your Asus. Download all of them and install them.

Regarding the missing webcam program: If the laptop has a built in webcam then the software for the webcam will be on the Asus website.

Your discs will not work for her laptop seeing how they are completely different computers running different hardware.

Hope I helped!

How can you unlock the htc Diamond 2008 from sprint to use on Verizon?

Q. I can't afford a new phone so I want to use my old one on Verizon's prepaid network but I don't know how.

A. Can't be done. Sprint and Verizon have two totally separate esn/electronic serial number databases and they are completely incompatible.

The next best thing is activating your Sprint phone onto Boost mobile with a little help from these guys: www.sprint2boost.com

Another alternative is to find someone who will flash it to Page Plus, a Verizon network reseller. You will be using the same network is Verizon prepaid under a different brand name with different customer service, tech support, etc.

The only bad things about Page Plus is they don't have unlimited data and their customer care sucks.

How much longer will Sony continue to make games for Playstation 2?

Q. I was wondering about some new games coming out next year, and wondered if they will only be for PS3. Sims 3 for example, among others. Thanks.

A. The Playstation 2 will have a 10 year lifecycle and the PS2 has about 2 years to go before it's discontinued for good, and so I think that there will be PS2 games still being release up until Late 2009 - Early 2010.

The amount of PS2 games being released have already slowed down a lot though.

How good is the HTC sensation in comparison to the latest android phones?

Q. I'm looking for a new phone, I don't want an iphone and I'm not too keen on the Galaxy S2, but i want an up to date phone. What do you all think of the HTC sensation. Or do you have any other suggestions?

Cheers!

A. The HTC Sensation is a great phone still without a doubt although the newer models have a better chance of getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on them which is a huge upgrade to the Android OS. If your not worried about this though you will be happy with the Sensation running Gingerbread.

If you do look at other phones though I would recommend comparing the Sensation to the Samsung Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Nexus.

What phone should I get the htc desire hd or the brand new htc incredible s?

Q. I really don't know what one I should get.
The desire hd has a bigger screen but the incredible s has a front facing camera.
I'm really stuck !

A. Since the Incredible S isn't out yet, I would wait for them to come out and get some reviews. What carrier you want should also be something to consider.

Comparing the phones themselves on their merits alone (discounting things like carrier and price), I would go with the Incredible S. Performance-wise, they're pretty similar, but the Incredible S is a bit lighter, has a bigger battery, the front-facing camera, and the screen is still pretty big. Does the difference between 4" and 4.3" matter that much?
