Q: Between laptop and notebook, which of the two computers comes with the greatest amount and secondary storage?

A: This is a common question that is a bit confusing to many people. It depends on what you are calling a notebook verses a laptop. If you are referring to the ultra thing notebooks, ipads or very small notebooks that do not use a hard drive to store information then they hold less than regular larger units.

Your computer has two types of storage: temporary memory (RAM) and storage memory.  The storage memory can be in a form of a hard drive, flashcard, USB drive, CD, DVD or other memory card.

Most laptops except for the very thin ones or very small devices have a hard drive as storage. If the notebooks you are comparing use a hard drive then they both can house as much as the other.

Check the actual drive storage amount 160Gb, 250gb, 300gb, etc.

RAM, temp memory is usually 1gb, 2gb, 3gb or 4gb.

Q: Printer Copier repair problem: Is printer copier maintenance need and what goes bad if not done on a regular basis?

A: Your Copier, printer, scanner and fax equipment are just like your car: they need regular maintenance to prevent premature repairs.  Dirt, paper fiber and toner builds up in the machine can cause excessive wear on the drums, rollers and fuser assembly.

The average fuser assembly repair on a HP printer is $277. On a Ricoh, Sharp, and Canon copiers it’s $465 (average). Some brands and models are much higher.. Drums and developer units on copier printers are just as expensive. Fusers and drums are designed to last 20K, 5K, 120k or more (Kyocera 250K) pages between replacements. However if your machine is not properly maintained their life is greatly reduced.

Even toner cartridges on printers will have shorter lives if you do not get regular maintenance.  Ask Advanced Business Computers the printer copier maintenance steps needed to prevent repair problems.

Q: Between notebook and laptop, which of the two computers has the fastest processor?

A: There is not a difference between the two. You can get equal speed from both with equal processors/memory/hard drive. The rule of thumb:  the more you are willing to spend the faster a system you can obtain whether desktop or laptop. It’s always better to determine what software you need first and then select a system that runs the software at a good speed based on your budget and needs.

Q: I have set the bios to boot from CD and it’s not recognizing the bootable CD (Windows XP PRO). I need advice on this computer repair. I need to fix my operating system. My Dell Dimension 4600 continues to loop around in regular mode and will only boot up in safe mode.

A: The first thing is to test that your laptop’s CD or DVD drive is working.  Download UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) and burn it to a disc on another computer. On the PC you just use to create the CD test to make sure it works. Remember you may need to change the system settings to tell it to boot from the CD drive first instead of your hard drive. If you are not sure how to do this call our office.

Now take the CD and try it on your computer to see if it repairs the problem. If you cannot boot your laptop (i.e, cannot read) then you need a new CD or DVD drive for your system.

Now, if you are trying to restore your computer repair system from the recovery CD, most of the time if fails unless you format the hard dive first. When you format it you will lose all your data and programs.  Call Advanced Business Computers Inc for details on how to get around this problem.
