Suggest a netbook for wife

motohead — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:52:54 +0800

I am planning to buy my wife her birthday present, a netbook, for her work. Basically some word processing, powerpoint, web surfing and video playback.

I don't know much about netbooks and the variety of models and make. However, I would prefer if it comes with the following specs:

1. Intel Atom
2. Screen preferably 9", as don't want it to be too big. 10" can give it a try.
3. Light and thin.
4. Battery life should be at least average.
5. Price, below RM2000.
6. Got pink color, better. Woman loves pink

I would appreciate if any of you can give me some suggestions on which make and model to get for her.

Thank you.

Nikon P5000 versus Fuji F40fd

I need to get a camera to replace my Canon Ixus500 soon.

Using it mainly for family photographs, some indoor and some outdoors. The essential thing for me are:

1) Excellent pictures.
2) Battery life.
3) A little manual play, though not essential, but nice to have.

Which one will you pick?

Thanks!

Clock on laptop slowing down.

I have a Fujitsu laptop S2020 bought in end of 2004. I noticed the clock seems to be running slower. Each time I re-adjusted the time correctly, it will becomes slower by 10-15 minutes a week later. Is the CMOS battery dying?

I searched the internet and came across this term CMOS battery. I'm no tech geek and have no idea where in my laptop the CMOS battery is.

How do we change the CMOS battery? Can I find any reliable service shop (i know they're hard to find ) to do it in LowYat plaza? Will it be costly? Or should I send it back to Fujitsu?

Thanks for any advice.
