There are rumors floating around that Google will be selling the Cr-48s for $20 per month to students, which is quite affordable. If you have any info on that please share.

Discussion
Notebooks
Hi, I'm wondering, if I go with over 4GB of RAM, what exactly will that help me? I mean, OK, more is always good, but what sort of applications gain more out of it? Is it some specific software boost (like video editing), or general performance?

What do you carry along with your notebook? I always have a mouse, headphones, flash drive, and a couple of empty CDs (no reason, probably force of habit). I'm thinking of getting an external hard drive and one of those fancy USB keyboard lights that can be very useful when someone else is sleeping in...

I'm wondering, If i get another chip of 2GB but slightly slower 1066 Mhz instead of the original 1333 Mhz, would it make any problems with windows? I will also upgrade windows 7 with 64-bit version.

Hi, my notebook's cooling fan is apparently full of dust, but I don't have the time and knowledge to open it and put it back together in a proper operating condition. Is there a quick fix for that?

Discussion
Notebooks
Hi, I'm looking to treat my notebook with a little speed upgrade, so I figured the SSD would give the best performance per $, and I'll be going for something like 40-60GB just for the OS. What would you say, what's the brand, what's the model? Thanks!

Discussion
Notebooks
Hey, my notebook recently started showing horizontal lines at the full weight of the display. The lines are about (I'm guessing) 1 px and in an attempt to close the lid and then reopen it (without shutting off or sleeping) would eventually disappear. Those lines are presented sometimes at pre-os environment...
