Got a new laptop, now need some accesories!

by Boostman1 / November 19, 2005 12:46 AM PST

Hi all!,a week ago, I purchased a Gateway MX6124 laptop. I must say, I am VERY happy with it. even tho they say laptops with Celeron processors (Which mine has) is slow, I've not seen that happen, my laptops boots up fast and have not had any slowdowns whatsoever!

Well, now that I have my little friend, who I named DIGIT, I would like to get some accesories and cool software. I am also going to get a digital camera and printer, to use for my cartooning purposes.

So...any ideas or suggestions on what toget for little Digit?. =)

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
Jose (Proud owner of Gateway MX6124 laptop)

The first think I'd buy is a nice little wireless...
by togus / November 19, 2005 6:22 AM PST

notebook mouse. Microsoft makes a nice one that can be bought for US$ 29.00. A safe carry bag is nice (I like the knapsack style)and, depending on how you use for computer and how hot it is where you live, a cooling pad. Celeron Ms don't step down their wattage when doing more simple tasks so they run hotter than P-Ms. As we know, heat is the enemy of notebooks.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
