Whats the difference between the Asus 1005peb and the asus pc1018pb?

Q. I bought the netbook Asus 1005peb in june 2010. I love the computer but i saw that asus came out with a new one which is Asus pc1018pb. Just curious...is there any differences between them? I hate technology because you have to keep up with it lol. I hate to know that something out there is better after i just bought something lol. thank u

A. both are netbooks so both suck no offence.
laptops are way faster and way more advanced.
netbooks are like 10 year old technology that got smaller.

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.

the one you have is better.

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 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.

How is the Motorola Defy, Htc HD7, or Mytouch4g different from the ipod touch or others of its class?
Q. They are all capable of music, movies, games, and so on. But is there any noticable difference between these devices? Other than the obvious cellular capabilities, is there anything that sets them apart as a significant productivity device?

A. Android vs. iOS, obvious.

MyTouch 4G is capable of using T-Mobile's HSPA+ high speed network (which is not really 4G).

How do I get my HTC Hero to generate a wifi signal my pc can pickup?
Q. The HTC hero I have is running the android operating system firmware version 1.5 (because I live in alaska and we are behind the rest of US telecommunications technology by about 18 months).. I have already tethered internet to my pc via the mini usb cable, but is there a way to supply internet wireless?

A. I think a software named "Virtual Access Point" can help. It turns your pc into a wireless access point. You HTC can connect to Internet through your PC via Wifi. http://www.virtual-ap.com

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?

How do I restart my Asus PC Windows 8 notebook computer on the keyboard?
Q. On accident,I changed my brightness settings to the lowest,and I cannot get pass my lock screen. Help immediately!

A. restarting MIGHT help, but probably won't. Just hold down the power button for like 5 seconds and it should shut off.

also, look on your keyboard, there should be a key that has a little sun looking symbol, usually in blue. You have to hold the Fn (function) key while pressing it and it should brighten it up.

How to get my asus CG5270 to run a radeon graphics card?

Q. Hello, I don't have a wide range of knowledge about computers but My Asus CG5270, running on Windows Vista, will not run a Radeon x1950xtx PCIE 512M( Got that from the back serial number). The screen doesn't even turn on when I put the graphics card into my computer. Any suggestions?

A. The video card has an extra port on it that needs to be connected to the power supply directly. There is usually a 4-pin molex connector that should have come in the package if your power supply doesn't have something that plugs in directly. If this is not connected, the video may display a warning or not boot up at all.

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.
