[Locked] Awesome bullshit

Ok some might know I got a new laptop http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gateway+-+Laptop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+X2+Dual-Core+Processor+-+Midnight+Blue/9695339.p?id=1218150605281&skuId=9695339
Thats the exact one I received. Paid $550. Then someone I know from the army sent me this one http://www.abt.com/product/42920/ASUS-N90SCA1.html?utm_source=scfroogle&utm_medium=sc&utm_campaign=froogle
Idk if this the same one. Now I am pretty sure that this one I received is better. But how much better is it? Also which is better? Windows 7 or Windows Vista Ultimate? One more question. How do I disable that annoying user thing. The one where everytime I start a program it ask me if I want to use it.

I can help you with the user thing. However, as annoying as it is, it is fairly powerful in stopping what has access to your computer. Most of my friends have turned it off with no repercussions though.

1. From the desktop, click start, and where you can type, type "msconfig". enter.
2. System Configuration should pop up. If it does, click on the tool tab. (the last one).
3. scroll down to: "Disable UAC". click on that, click launch.
4. it should tell you that you need to reboot. Do so. It's gone.

Enjoy. Sorry I couldn't answer question 1. If my instructions suck, google "how to turn off user access control" and click link 1.

The second one from the army is allot better, but it does of cause also cost three times more.
The highlights (nr. one vs. nr. two):

Screen: 15.6" (1366 x 768) VS. 18.4" (1920x1200) - full HD on a TV is 1920x1080

CPU: AMD Athlonâ„¢ II X2 2.0GHz VS. Coreâ„¢2 Duo Processor T9600 2.8GHz

HD: 500GB VS. 1TB - both at 5400 rpm

Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4200 VS. GeForce GT220M 1GB DDR2


So the screen is very large in the second one, which means that it will be hard to carry around, and not be very portable, but on the upside then has HD resolution.
The cpu in the second is just newer, and faster. The second one also has twice the hard drive space installed.
The graphics card on the one you bought has to "borrow" ram from the main memory pool, while the second one has 1GB dedicated (and much faster) ram installed on the graphics card.


Did someone from the army really send you the second laptop? or did you just mean the link?

Ok I just downloaded something and it said I had 179 GB left o-o. Ok how do I check the specs on this laptop. Also my god mother that is stationed in japan sent me this laptop.

Ok it has 232 GB HDD. Everything else it has. I know she was loading software on this laptop. It has Vista Ultimate. Ehh maybe when I get some money I can put a HDD in this one (which idk how to do for a laptop).

You are a really lucky guy, congratulations :D
You should be able to see the important specs by right clicking on "my computer" and choosing "properties".
If you need more info than that just ask again and I will tell you another way.
