  1. Re: Request for advice on choice of portable device

    I think you will enjoy it. I love mine. I tend to carry it with me nearly all of the time. I have the 32GB wifi model, but I can tether it to my phone. I hope it does everything you wish, and more!

    Re: measuring operating CPU frequency like CPUz

    Re: buying a new computer, need advice.

    It should work, but then you would have to store the image somewhere safe. You might be able to compress it (zip or tgz or similar), and burn it to a blue ray (or possibly a dvd if it compresses the...

    Re: buying a new computer, need advice.

    If you are worried about the warranty and installing a different OS, then buy a second hard drive and swap it with the original. Just leave the original untouched.
  10. [SOLVED] Re: Choosing which Partition to Start up: Ubuntu or Windows

    Grub was probably installed to the MBR, and when you installed windows 7 it overwrote the mbr.
