Yes, I'm probably going to buy a PCS laptop. My current laptop is an Optimus II which is over 10 years old (you can see why I want to replace it!). I haven't decided which model to buy yet. I'll think about your recommendation for a flash drive.

I have 2 questions about Linux for the new laptop I'm planning to buy. 1. Which would be best - dualboot with Windows, run Windows in a virtual machine, or just run Linux alone on the laptop? 2. What USB drive would you recommend for installing Linux? The reviews on Amazon UK don't seem very...

I configured 2 separate laptops earlier this month and pressed the "Proceed" button, only to find the hard drive I'd chosen was out of stock but would be available soon. Then a few days later I checked the builds again and found the ETA had been delayed. Today I looked at the builds again and...

I have an Optimus II and I want to buy an anti-static wrist strap to do some work on it. The problem is, I don't really have any metal to attach it to - almost everything is painted, and due to the width of the room and the layout of the furniture in it, the radiator is too far away. So what do...

I have an Optimus II, bought in late 2011. I have (very!) slowly been setting everything up, so I can use it. Today, upon switching it on, Windows stopped booting with an error message. I ran Startup Repair, but it couldn't repair the problem. When I finally managed to get into Windows, I...
