its ok but refund

i was looking for something smaller intended to a one of those mini keyboards like the ones fro RII but figured i would try this.
positives are: if you already have a current driver for any logitech keyboards ther is no need to install it again. just plug and play. it is much smaller than most full size boards, and also very light there is a left click button on the left side and does just that left clicks. a on/off switch is also available to save battery life when not being used. the item does come with an adapter if you have a problem with fitting the small transceiver.
negatives: if you are not used to 2 finger scrolling and dont like touchpads to begin with you may want to skip this all together. there is no function lock for a number pad and a total absence of a number pad hence it is a smal keyboard.
this is a great keyboard for "couch surfing" and MAY even work good on some smart tv's.
i would recommend it if you like touchpads i did not care for it thought it would be more responsive.
What's great about it: it is smaller than what im using works great on ubuntu too.
What's not so great: the touchpad is a bit weird
I would recommend this to a friend!

it fits 2010 elantra blue radio delete option. i recommend cut leads somewhat or you will have alot of wiring to deal with. also get some solder, flux, and heat shrink for best install.

i am in the process of switching all my units over to ati cards as i am having too many problems with nvidia cards of various types. from running way too hot to locking monitors into sleep mode on the DVI ports. so i figured a few months back let me try ATI bought a small 4550 by sapphire and was quite surprised by its performance so much so i decided that it would be the end of nvidia for me. the catalyst control center is so much easier to use and navigate software/drivers dont seem to balloon as much. i purchased this card today at a local store though not same maker mine is by SAPPHIRE. as well its the exact same configuration. and it is doing good so far..i am curious to see what the temps are
What's great about it: easy card to install no LOUD FANS
What's not so great: price price price!! why best buy so high on this card??
I would recommend this to a friend!

this is all i have used since the 6.0 release its much easier on the resources the updates are hourly if any are available. i dont agree with the price should and could be 10bones less its not a major brand just a brand that really works good. internet connection is a little slower but thats to be expected with ALL virus scanning software.
What's great about it: easy to install very small hourly updates uninstalls without a trace
What's not so great: takes a while to learn whats safe and not safe (internet security version)

If i buy a mini laptop can i add memory to it?

And if i can will it be just as expensive as buying a regular sized computer?
depends on operating system and manufacturer. certainOS only support so much ram. i.e. windows 32 regardless which version only support 4gb max. click here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778%28VS.85%29.aspx
then there are the limits of the motherboard. generally an upgrade is not needed. and actually a waste considering the machines limits. netbooks are great for those on the move unless you travel weekly i would go with a regular laptop. many will go on sale towards October when the new models start coming out. but you have to be quick some $800 models have been known to sell for around $550 like mine i pounced on that.

Why so many refurbished laptops?

simple if parted out you can get easily double the money than what it cost new for example a new fan for a hp dv6815nr is going for around 85.00 not bad right. and this may come as a shock but if you think you are getting a new laptop everytime you pay retail. well you are not see what is broken can be scrapped but if the MB is still good it gets tested and if it passes and the model is still in production back to the assembly line. its about economics. and the bottom line.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF AVAILABLE, WHAT IS THE BEST PREPAID INTERNET ACCESS FOR A IBM THINK PAD WITH WINDOWS 2000?

careful many offer speeds that are just not there because of extremely high traffic you will have to research this there are many that claim to be the best. but still fall short best to look at consumer digest or a major consumer reporting group.
