Answer by Harley Drive
for on site work you need a heavy duty laptop like a panasonic toughbook there are several other makes but they are all very expensive, for regular work ANY modern laptop with a dual or quad core processor, 4-6Gb of ram and a 320-640 Hard disk would be more than adequate

Battery life while doing everyday tasks is quite shorter than in Windows 7.

None of the Anti-Virus programs I’ve run have removed it.

I was wondering if I did a “Rescue & Recovery” through ThinkAdvantage on my Lenovo laptop do you think that would get rid of the virus?

And if not I was thinking I would just use the download on FixRedirectVirus.org–anybody use this before?

Thanks :)

Answer by WayneH
R&R will certainly fix it by formatting the drive and reinstalling everything. Anything there now will be gone. If you have nothing you want to keep, go for it. It takes about two hours. I recommend downloading and running these two freebies: MalwareBytes, and Super Anti-spyware. Never tried what you mention.

Is this a good computer? Can i run the Dolphin nintendo wii emulator? i plan on connecting this to my sylvania 32in tv.

Best answer:

Answer by John
Mac-Apple is the best computer. Expensive yes, worth it 1000%. Never gets a bug nor virus and it is purely awesome. But idk if it can run the dolphin nintendo wii emulator on it because I have never heard of that. I do know that you can buy a adapter that connects to your mac and plugs into the tv for a hd picture. Hope this helps!

A family friend was offering to sell me either a T60 or T43 laptop for under 0. I don’t know much about IBM products, which one is the best buy?

p.s.
Yes I know you can get a new netbook for around that price, however the screens are a little too small in my opinion. Plus I need good sized RAM and a disk drive.
