Requirement: Transfer files from old to new laptop Ongoing backup destination Media storage - music/video to keep laptop uncluttered Always on & connected to router so Sonos can directly access iTunes music library. PCS offer WD MyBook and MyPassport (very little difference between the two!?)...

My old, longstanding Optimus II laptop has had a number of issues over the last few years but always come out the other side but the latest "hiccup" is a big one I fear - its been out of action for a few weeks but I have only just had a chance to investigate... I was using the machine as normal...

Turned on my laptop 20 mins ago, plugged in to mains, sitting on the kitchen table while I got on with some washing up. It got to the login screen with one of the fancy Windows 10 photography backgrounds, and I left it idling there while I was busy. I noticed the screen flicker from across the...

So this is what I bought in mid-2011: Chassis & Display Optimus II: 17.3" Full HD LED Backlit Widescreen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glossy Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-2630QM (2.00GHz) 6MB Cache Memory (RAM) 4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (1 x 4GB) Graphics...

Right - having had my system now for a couple of weeks, while I still haven't pushed the build much at all. I've also had a few questions which have speedily been answered here, and much appreciated. So, here's a few more - no problems, more just opinion gathering. My aim was to keep the build...

I realise that this isn't the most actively used forum... but... Previously, I have always used my mrs' macbook pro and my ipod is connected with her own iTunes library. I have just downloaded iTunes for my Optimus II and I wondered if anyone has any experience of botching my songs from my ipod...

most likely a simple one again. The other night we popped in a typically predictable US crime box set and watched a couple of episodes. No problems there. Last night we looked to continue the series but when the DVD started it sounded very quiet. I turned everything up as much as it could go...

Seems like a silly question, but how do I turn on Bluetooth functionality? I have a few items on my old computer (Apple Macbook ~2005) that I would like on my new computer. I thought a simple way to do this would be to just connect via bluetooth and transfer the files that way. So far I cannot...

and unforutunately have not had time to dedicate playing with the system too much due to various reasons. However, a couple of quick questions/points: I have the Optimus 17inch chassis and the one things that is infuriating about the keyboard is the fact that as I type the "heels" of my hands...

Ok - I've asked a lot of questions and started a few threads... but here goes. I think a decision has been made. The missus is getting too angry at the time I'm spending on this site anyway! Chassis & Display Optimus II: 17.3" Full HD LED Backlit Widescreen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glossy...

Thanks to those that have already helped me in the other thread but here are some more specific questions which may help others too. Processor CPU i7 2630QM (2.0ghz) is £20 cheaper than the i5 2540M (2.6ghz) and £85 cheaper than the i7 2620M (2.7ghz). Obviously, you pay the extra for the clock...

This is driving me insane. The truth is, I don't particularly need a laptop for anything specific. My missus has a new macbook pro and I am using her old macbook (with sticky keys and trackpad buttons as a result of a lucozade mishap!). However, I am not convinced by parallels (or similar) on...
