Laptop Lifts
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop,
When a clumsy web developer got worried about spilling something beneath his laptop, he decided to come up with a product to protect it, and Laptop Lifts were eventually created. Made of silicon, they feel soft and grip the surface, yet are also quite tough. They also act as furniture protection, add airflow and provide padding against laptop heat. You can purchase a set for $14.95 online.

15-inch MacBook Pro specs updated
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop,
A lot is going on this morning over in Apple land, and with all the new hardware released, we almost missed the fact that the 15-inch unibody MacBook Pro line has received a spec bump. Nothing too fancy, but now if you want to get a processor faster than the 2.4GHz default, you get a 2.66GHz chip, as opposed to the 2.53GHz chip offerred previously. If you really wanna pimp this thing out, there is even a 2.93GHz option now. Be careful with that one though. Male or female, if you want to have children, keep it off your lap, because that’s gotta hurt.

Laptop Experts: Restoring a notebook to factory defaults
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: PC / Laptop, Software,
As I noted previously, I take part in the Laptop Experts website, along with a few other key experts in the technology field from ArsTechnica, Boing Boing, Ubergizmo, and others. We are totally into answering questions from everyday computer users. I wanted to highlight one that I answered this morning:
Question: I want to restore the factory settings on my TOSHIBA A305-S6872 to the out of the box settings. How can I do this?
Answer: The absolute easiest way to do this is to grab the installation discs that came with the notebook, pop them in, and go through the installation process. Make sure you select a new install (as opposed to a repair or upgrade.) Once that is done, you will also want to put in any other software or driver discs that came with the notebook as well, and then run Windows Update last to make sure it is completely up-to-date.
Feel free to chime in - your thoughts? Ever have this issue before?
