" Does that that a Tekzilla sponsored -- the united states air force me go to meeting that -- Coming up this episode brought a lot is it how. Hows -- these studio what she's -- written about upgrading your laptop the things you consider before spinning it down. Save on notebook upgrades to the age people dividing notebook. We've had yet what that charger for your car Apple won't make you want so we're gonna help you figure out how to do it and -- to -- to take the -- popular desktop. -- making more ergonomically correct Rogers. He's his wrists were saved all that was a jury of your -- questions on today's Tekzilla. -- Yes but it hey what about let you on -- are horrible to hold us back here later in the show. Resort -- Tekzilla. Veronica Belmont. Or bullet Tekzilla heroes Patrick -- and that are adding -- you know would hand this I don't want to back here either -- show Adobe today not just their candidates on system. But we got the visibility of upgrading to open computer we got so awesome released an Austin gadget for laptop users on the go and but he's back to answer. Some of your vector -- questions. But before we yen. Shall we welcome you back thanking you you got to go to south by southwest last week."

" I today Austin Texas. Yeah I got back on Wednesday I missed -- you know fun stuff with the music so you just went to the boring website stuff yeah no active of a lot of -- I mean you get to see everyone they never get to see goodness me people from all over the world and get to talk that really geeky things."

" And this then the others panels there's parties there is. The idea apparently there was some Teresa -- panels and I just remember you know integrating moneymaking scheme to your website seventy ways to avoid bankruptcy due you know download and moderated a panel this year what you moderate a panel how to rock south by southwest. Because I'm an old pro you know obviously you throw the horns and thank -- through the whole. If you're really hardcore got through with two. Attempts that was bad I apologize didn't do it."

" it was good yes very much. Let's see what I learn about. -- about type -- interfaces that was very cool as a break the web sites hip cool well the website kind of in general. It was this whole thing about how we take cues from scifi stuff for the past Star Trek Star Wars. -- really great stuff so. Political things learn about -- like that. Those who fired up yeah I'm ready to get started have a you don't I am excited presentable viewer comments that we should throw first."

" Aren't the first of emails come from viewers who want to give us some suggestions for streaming content Xbox 360. Frankie writes and you don't need -- Windows Media Player to -- get your 360 you can use a program called T university. It used candy trance could media when your 360 didn't support dot ABI files. And David in the UK email with a solution for Mac users like me and you want to just stream media today Xbox 360 -- that love the segment on -- 360 Apple TV -- you don't have to stick to windows to share all your videos there is a program called connect 360 it's not pretty but definitely worth paying for several email in with these suggestions and there were a lot of you know."

" Speaking -- to comment there to date he'd lose it bloody nightmare email about the ability expo last week John pretty much sums up 99% of ever went beyond this email. Why -- Patrick Sullivan to using. The alternative Texans to all the standard desktop install it and install a live CD's you can play both desktop and follow -- much easier grappled scholar or not. As well play with the light environments. Two John in the hundreds of concerned citizens who wrote it about -- who -- install. Yes actually had a -- alive installer but so many people actually wanted to step by step walk through clinics not just what he's doing installer but maybe we can -- that in the future and for anybody who wants to try it Ubuntu without physically installing it on your machine to live CD's fabulously."

" Patrick they weren't the only ones to receive email. About last big show it seems that Stephanie -- also had quite a few comments on her vector -- draster segment with so many in fact that Patrick had issued a whole segment just to throw them."

" Are cowboys just happening you don't just talk about back -- versus restaurant graphics. Elicited so much email would be we have now back to answer your questions for you with us liable Mac the shows that. That it excited and excited rated severe question. All right sorrow there'd be who wrote Stephanie said use a combination of Adobe Photoshop and illustrator for posters. Another program I think is worth mentioning is Adobe in design. You can take your photos and logos inflatable out in the in design that's a tough one to make posters brochures books that are export and depressed ready yet."

" Well this is absolutely correct for those of you don't know -- site is actually page layout that. Page effort and they can help you do we'll take its plants and so. Forum posters you can use any time meet with the cable but it I think that -- more appropriate he used it for multi page layouts pressures. Supposed to be like using page maker quarter currently tech yes. Oh yeah Andy does look as he can also use style sheets and unity kid import everything -- cleared. And illustrator and Photoshop files -- so it lower but illustrated swim my -- it now seems all simpler. What comparatively you know that page layout tool -- add me can can exactly at a public and that means I I mean I --"

" It could just -- really awkward process act well we are wrong with -- next question what is the best or easiest way to tell roster image. And convert to vector image without using Adobe illustrator playtime from across logos are only available as a -- and -- we're trying to get bad image to be clear once they steal it up or scale it now."

" Okay does -- not gonna use anything like. Light cases illustrate rare or is that they discontinued old school program called Adobe stream and he can use something that's so web based and free called vector magic dot com oh cool and it can -- F forms so you know it's still being tested out her. The company is coming out the desktop version but that's an irony at least fifty but according to that one thing that's -- that -- is that is assailant is that right. Cool and we got a few of your recommendations for -- alternatives. Right some years wrote in about some other programs that we didn't go too far into. Says he likes -- designer and this is a program that actually London best of show -- Mac. Macworld. And he says that it's simple with a lot of filters and so I'd be willing to go ahead get that it has not gonna run you about seventy dollars. Stuff that bank and also. We have we haven't gear and hungry in Missouri us and he writes in pages for our extreme we did mention it last time that we didn't go in 3-D tell. But and he thought -- threatened because he says that this is a great program and not only exports to use that standard. About -- such is EP as AP IP media. But how -- has its own file file format at the X fire -- are high end the."

" ray is having your own file planned format an advantage or something where you're gonna have like I have two hundred's everybody thousands are files -- ultimately."

" I personally found that it's not a huge advantage that just because it's sending is our. Format -- people -- the don't have that you know team. Programming might be hard for them to work with the file itself. I like this it is standards so -- they got it lets us and it exports EP yes media so. Get get -- about eighty -- and -- are here and hundred social strongly about it the night at figure you know pay is given an island."

" Very cool and also apparently doesn't require a lot of very powerful machine which is also plus I mean on -- it run programs now its yes. Stephanie -- stuff. -- come back answers were your questions and probably get it right. -- Tekzilla -- I congrats to your questions about graphics and well actually it's a pretty good ones talking about how you draw or not draw inspector. -- I'd be happy and that actually. With thanks deputy of the time -- answer these questions and we're gonna be passed along your words of advice. Or actually since they were pass along our pixel -- words of advice on this -- that show notes links those applications up revision3.com. Slash Tekzilla yeah well."

" Very enlightening Patrick lots of good and but I think it's time you paid them. Have -- what you're trying to be clients or colleagues in person you spent how we're stuck in traffic or an airport it's Sox. He spent a fortune on gas hotels airline ticket that also sucks just virtual army or maybe worse yet a twenty hour briefing. I could be able to travel less with he -- go to meeting is that driving or flying through -- hosted light meeting right from your. Everybody's been logs -- go to meeting that convert conference call -- instantly see your computer desktop on their computer screen it's like meeting -- person but less expensive and less time consuming the best part you can try go to meeting worried with thirty days. It's a good meeting dot com click on the try -- free button -- Tekzilla. Let's go to meeting that comes robo code Tekzilla tried out you'll help us out. A testament to sort of."

" they're great for pounding out that ten page business report on the airplane ride home in makes for lousy ergonomic experience when you're at your desk. Have you back and sabretech Africans elevator. This simple do that elevate your laptop to proper -- level to slap on external keyboard and mouse and you've got yourself a cup. Comfortable computing position because it's open friends -- machine to run cooler than your system completely where parents. To get it comes in three parts to -- in the days just plug in the classic -- into the base and you got yourself a laptop stand. Feet apart into its in the most sluggish grateful when you're working at your hotel room. And with the price of around forty dollars a lot cheaper than having a spine realigned by chiropractic Wallace and your back -- think."

" Notebook computers are great and after a couple of years machine get a little long in the -- Anti web sites run slow your multimedia software barely runs for buying any machine what can you -- you can try operating. Now. Why would you upgrade it -- design it yourself and you laptop what things -- one of these about notebooks -- the expensive as all hell so what you've spent 3000 dollars and he's a hardware you may not want to dump it after two years and others who want to get your money's worth. Yeah and that's one of the reasons what do you mean laptops can be one of these sort of beast. You know if he gets a hundred dollar per apparently short on value -- because he tentatively -- in a year you're gonna like oh man literally graphics card analyst for avenue want to be like points on the percent of them the -- buying populace that actually has agreeable graphic arts and then if you can find an upgrade the graphics card. You're you're you're SOL highly technical term and directed by -- 3000 dollar gaming notebook."

" Columbia flip side is you know spending all that much money on -- and that laptop notebook. Often times actually -- set with the motherboard so you're returns might be pretty load especially if you're trying to do is CPU. Upgrade or even video if you do not have the necessary. And with available on him over."

" Now on the upside this couple things if you move a lot of files on and off the hard drive and it takes forever your hard drives -- maybe you're pretty happy but want more storage. Upgrading your hard drive your laptop actually is usually pretty beneficial both in terms of performance and obviously making -- and making for more storage greater storage capacity. And it's usually relatively cheap."

" It is super sheep in fact when I bought my first MacBook three months later I bought a 250 gate Hitachi drive and I swapped out for the when sixty they came within. And I pretty much filled it up and we have like forty gigs left of space so during that time I've actually consciously filled it up with more crap."

" More crap yes happy -- speaking of crap memory if you find yourself. Applications -- larger -- leading photo editing or something it may be bought a less expensive version of a notebook only has 500 megabytes or gigabytes. If you up and up to two gigabytes of ram the ram is so cheap even nastier and stuff she's notebooks. Ram is usually really easy upgrade sometime this strange upgrade. Program is it really beneficial."

" In fact most of the time on most laptops it's actually located on the bottom and asking that the pop up -- play them the same issue one -- kind of read up on the specs for your particular notebook. Oftentimes for example this slowing PC -- I have only allows you to memory. Slots and those are limited to one gigabyte each so the total amount of ram I can actually stick on this. Is two gigs so don't go out and violate two to geek I think because they're not and that's not that's really get much out of them other than two gigs so. I keep that in mind you really kind of -- make sure you're getting what's appropriate for your laptop and not necessarily what would you would like to have. In this particular case I cannot take up the hard drive because it's covered pretty much by an entire acre of plastic."

" You can't do it you just taking the next six to twelve are actually burrow into it and get put back together as opposed to the MacBook which is almost. Stupid easy. Well it's kind of funny like most those who -- will hide the memory into the keyboard or on the backside like you said Mac what does this insane like lever snap out system. But it's actually what -- be used to it its its it's not a -- seamy -- like ratcheting out of the place."

" And again do we have -- respects because for example of this MacBook is the latest iteration of the MacBook will support two gigs per slot the older ones the original ones. Only support and gigs. Max I'm you can actually squeeze in three but."

" What you can you connect put in like 22 gigabyte memory stick her piece of memory and actually like three during the half gigs that's actually something what things -- check out this is. Check reform to search for model name good sometimes to find out. You can squeak out a little bit more in the ratings and in this case the laptop comes out really easy. The hard drive -- laptop. I gotta say this serial ATA on your laptop has much simpler to do yes tiny pins and the older -- just."

" You just plug in and -- now the thing is still pretty easy upgrade through the ones that are worthwhile doing especially if you have a laptop that's maybe a couple of years. There's still life and it but you're running -- space. Memory always helps especially if you've got like 512. Makes by default. Having a gig or more definitely more. Would definitely see and performance improvement especially if you're running multiple applications. That being said actually one -- action when -- that -- optical drives only came to the MacBook actually can't do that with most PC laptops. Screws. And the CD dvd rom drive pops out in this case it's dvd. -- I don't we need to change it right however if I got stuck with like a dvd rom CDR. Combo and and one dvd burning. You probably pay about 67 bucks for one -- if you search -- and you weigh in -- of these face plates are removable the puzzles come off although certain ones that takes the war effort the other ones. Just so you match it up well with their notebooks. Unless you just like having mismatched -- Now on your particular unit now -- again those those are let me go to these yuppies are the ones that pretty much indicative. Not going to get a little more sophisticated or you want to get a lot more adventurous you can actually -- into your machine and do things and he giggles because he knows what it. Joy this is in fact because at the pop the laptop okay well imagine."

" Having you know for -- it's worth a few hundred if you thousand dollars a couple grand right -- you spend your hard earned money maybe you're still making payments. And you get yourself your little sieve cool guys were divers are cool gal screwdrivers you've you've got your -- drivers. And that you know you may be go to a website and you start taking things apart like my keyboard. Yes relatively payments it is relatively painless however that's just to get over."

" 21 PCI. Actually meaning PCI card that contains my wireless or Wi-Fi. Card if you don't buy this included forty gallon that's damaged. You do have the remote possibility especially have a VTR PC notebook -- out for a new unit for a functioning -- And depending on what your situation is. However depending where it's located oftentimes Steve -- on the corner. I've seen some cases it's located. Quite easily underneath a laptop. But what's that and the kind of a pain because you gonna take the entire chassis apart -- them to get to him. So if you're adventurous you can actually save yourself -- some money if you need to upgrade in you don't have to get one of these expansion. For a express card or PC in nice we'll sausage into its."

" And part is if you knew from my. 211 and there. -- without any hacks they have in the car hanging out the side."

" That and you know it's not easy to lose it actually increases the value and opened because you can selling and just say -- and death and although you know and -- Phillips secretive and buying one of these don't expect to make a lot of money some notebook. Okay the profit margins pretty fit expected that the senator probably mean a loss margin. -- some cases you can actually swap out the screen as well again this. This is a big pain let me qualify this as we go. One person through trusted friend who has operated. The long that are on a Mac addict she's read up on a few people about it but I -- that animate like Patrick says it's not easy it's not simple and it's not -- you gonna do. Over the weekend -- you like do this for a living because it involves a lot of small parts. A lot of very delicate connecting India something that you would want to do."

" What are the advantages. To say advantage because people get all those crazy Apple adds that it gets so excited about the Mac books MacBook pro what are the advantages that sites like I fix it which is a great site to learn how to repair ipodder or replace -- your iPod. They have detailed step by step instructions on how to pull to basically pull apart notebook far enough to upgrade key part of your notebook if it's a Mac. We've run with a PC nobody invariably whether it's idea amber or compact provision that either there's a magical web sites I still haven't found. Or you're basically figure out how to pull all the C sit there with your blue tape and get taken like I'd also with a digital cameras don't take a picture every step of the way so now it puts it goes back together."

" The more generic laptops are made by the large Taiwanese you know we've made one model we sell to five different vendors. You might get away with that but I could go on with like a -- or something where they actually customize a lot of the arrangements inside. It's probably be a lot let's see now once they we didn't touch upon with the CPU. CPU. Is of course you know the that is the actual processor in the machine. MacBook he can't because it's actually -- and most yet and no sources it's honored its if you each year sorry it's -- through the bottom of the motherboard. If you're lucky enough to get one of those big DTR's it looked like the size of the you know of the old style briefcase -- the latch on it you actually can pop those outcome. However. CPU speeds are pretty expensive even if you get something is -- like -- two -- Mobile court to do part. It's not cheap compared to your desktop part and in the long term it's probably better just to wait for the rest of your laptop to go obsolete then to spend. You know what is that for three to 400 bucks on -- on the single processor when you spend that money into beta."

" Yeah I mean one thing is that when you -- after this new way direct try on your local computer store. He basically shop right is that new excellent the first was ever found where they actually had. Dvd drives for computers for -- like this you upgrade an older notebook to have a burner incited it didn't have it. Never really easy to find processors are almost impossible fine. I'm and what did you find out is is replacement screens you can find the -- usually really difficult it's what you need anything it's eBay Easter Easter hunt -- very -- and you gotta be really care for those half the time you know at some point right around some between 600 and a thousand dollars. You can buy it ugly nice new notebook it's gonna kick the snot out of almost anything it's two years old."

" And when you do then you're basically getting an entirely new generation of IO ports as well as -- front side bus and memory controller. Thirty G we'd she's she was ports that you don't have like firewire firewire 800 HDMI if -- and HD. I don't know if a lot of the underdog notebooks -- its its that's true but it's where firfer about 1200 bucks you can get a lot of those items in it and if you spend 400 bucks us to be much a safe -- And that's put it toward a new laptop. Again though. If you just need to squeak out more productivity a little more speed out of your existing laptop the cheapest and most effective ways to go is stored -- right. And members absolutely give it up two gigabytes an upgrade card. And like it wet that you mentioned and you -- director on the offer a lot of those pieces. Including the CP and stuff if you really wanted to go the extra amount and spend the money. Which I don't necessarily recommend unless you have if you want the lotteries opening a telecast."

" Or if you're an IT department and you have 10000 of this particular model notebook and your -- part because you have lots of parties walk across ram and hard drive in screens and and maybe because -- you know that in the capital budget expenditures it makes more sense for you to have an interim rebuilding. Notebook screens and adjusted to buy new notebooks but yeah they you know diminishing returns that would -- UG PU upgrades."

" I mean you know basic -- and bottom line. You know hard drive memory that's pretty much are we would recommend if you want to upgrade your notebook you can do additional stuff you can do the CD-ROM drive that I mean if if you really need it. If you needed DC if you need new graphics you know you can probably -- in the laptop anyway. Do however recycle your notebook if it still functioning but it's too slow for you needs. Considered donating it to local charity. Lots of times they can send them to needy people the students who don't have."

" Have access. Two equipment so they have released in the canyons or at the very least especially as the older notebook they can make sure it's properly recycled the tiny little bits of valuable material so it doesn't in the city landfill. For the rest of time we want to hear from you and your experiences upgrading your laptop's good bad in different we want to hear it sinister comments please email -- attribution to read -- Now Patrick something about it -- shows that we need to do on a regular basis -- a shadow at one of our sponsors the people that help us bring the -- use you can support them we would be most grateful.

" But Apple released their MacBook and MacBook pro lines and when the over the next -- powered connections."

" The machines you is unfortunately there is no cigarette lighter attachment for charge your MacBook when you're in a car. Thankfully Patrick being has resourceful as he is has come up with AD -- way around that prop."

" Well actually wasn't thinking about it. Ha I think I'd pack I gotta point pretty much every edit who have taken aback as withdrawn -- no longer be out -- it does but. It -- stutter and stammer that whatever revenue or if you buy a cigarette lighter receptacle adapter which is actually the society of automotive engineers standard. G 563 it's the leading provider power socket in your car -- what -- you know these things -- you plug stuff into pubic light cigarettes with them back when people were evil and still smoke. Except of course where your new Apple MacBook or MacBook pro -- a back -- adaptor which is the cool little thing that looks like this. What they like to do commercials about because they can tell you that you no longer in pulling her notebook off the table because we of the magnetic adapter they."

" Yanks off yeah that's good for countries like me. You did you find it beneficial yet happens -- and I'm glad it's there but what Apple's airline adapter okay so it's a really."

" You're seeing that you actually brought your notebook -- it will its its its you know you've you've read the piper is not reusable mobile device because it's the want to there's like a millimeter off. I -- I'm going to explode things -- them into the wrong connector we're going to explode things when it's good news it's kind of the technical term next. Explode things like that it'll fit right so you like it fits into the cigarette -- of the cigarette. Power receptacle. Therefore must charge -- notebook you know what's really interesting is even if you use this in the I think it's like fifteen volts that are in the airlines systems which are -- crazy socket down -- and if you actually see that in there. That's that you plug into an airplane. It will not charger battery -- keep her notebook running it will keep it from depleting the -- but won't actually -- notebook and electrical charge and it -- it's sort of trickle cards unless it's getting sixteen volts are better it will not charge the battery. It's kind of like you have to cross that line or it's not happy so. First look at it -- storage and it's standard for the most excellent how to build an auto airline mag safe power adapter. We've got a link in the show notes. So for the -- version of this -- universal does notebook PC power there which is one of these new -- from targets idol makes them -- really matter as fog it has these sort of standard set of sockets that look like this will be like a number three -- number four socket and there are I found this -- the closeout CompUSA normally you're gonna pay about sixty dollars for one of these. And what's slick about these is depending on what tipped you plug and it'll automatically give you particular voltage. Analysts say and number four is sixteen volt which is perfect for MacBook in a number three goes to nineteen voltage is perfect for charging MacBook pro."

" I can't use this in your car you going to totally screw. For time."

" I don't think so if you ask Apple like I wouldn't be like you know go into the -- be -- I don't use."

" It's the word go bring it up justice -- and a picture. Yeah what what what if what you're actually. The -- mean not support that version of this is to is to wire it what you don't want to go back to the steps of Bible five millimeter throughput by millimeter DC power Jack which is one that looks like this or PowerPoint I should say. And so basically what you do you produce graft this on to -- or. MacBook or MacBook pro charger. By using a plug and he Jack or you can just sacrifice one of the cable adapters. To do this is like still attached to this okay because regrets about and basically you can run nineteen volts. Your MacBook pro editor PC. Charger or sixteen volts for your MacBook. Basically go from car you -- car okay. So car to be easy power adapter and then we're going to use -- standard plug in DC power adapter. And that we plug that into one of two things either into our mag safe airline connector. Or are modified. -- charger in question is why don't just sell African car charger nobody seems to answer that don't want an Apple has ever answered that as far as you know. No one outside of Apple has a really good reason they don't license the mag safe connector to third parties no third parties come up with -- lot of knock off. IPhone -- nobody selling knock off makes it checks at this point. None of the like you know is the targets the I go insert name of your favorites. Notebook. You know toy vendor is doing a knockoff mag safe polite. So if you go to Stewart's bits blades he basically says it's either they don't recognize the need or they don't care that people are asking for this."

" Outlook that's kind of typical I -- comets and -- Yeah us now I mean this is you know couples in the market that they need to fill they just don't get around to different one reason or another and a secret that you. People can carrier 200 -- power. It's not that hard if you look your Mac enough you'll be able to do it right I."

" enabled the DCDs he gets kind of frustrating that you don't have a slim easy cable that does -- you basically end up with a DC voltage adaptor the decent tip and either you know plugging your airplane charger. Now it funny that well it's it's it's actually pretty easy if you if your spell out time in the car and what you -- change challenge certainly of the past and if you have a lot of time in the car and you want to be able to charge your MacBook or MacBook pro of this about the all the way you're gonna do it let's what -- go to my diaper. Who sells pre modified Alicea targets. A notebook adapter so the whole idea of doing some soldering going to RadioShack the going to the adapter skiers you there is somebody who's doing these for -- Not yet -- there's a ton ton ton of information on Stewart is page including. Had to do this for the airline ticket after that cutting expensive cables we we cut this because we want to decide this on yours so you don't have to Kutcher. You're -- in this that's just need one of these that -- power sockets. I feel so quickly and -- We go wrong want to take this very minute to think one of our sponsors spring of this episode do you.

" ray is having your own file planned format an advantage or something where you're gonna have like I have two hundred's everybody thousands are files -- ultimately."

" I personally found that it's not a huge advantage that just because it's sending is our. Format -- people -- the don't have that you know team. Programming might be hard for them to work with the file itself. I like this it is standards so -- they got it lets us and it exports EP yes media so. Get get -- about eighty -- and -- are here and hundred social strongly about it the night at figure you know pay is given an island."

" Very cool and also apparently doesn't require a lot of very powerful machine which is also plus I mean on -- it run programs now its yes. Stephanie -- stuff. -- come back answers were your questions and probably get it right. -- Tekzilla -- I congrats to your questions about graphics and well actually it's a pretty good ones talking about how you draw or not draw inspector. -- I'd be happy and that actually.

" they're great for pounding out that ten page business report on the airplane ride home in makes for lousy ergonomic experience when you're at your desk. Have you back and sabretech Africans elevator. This simple do that elevate your laptop to proper -- level to slap on external keyboard and mouse and you've got yourself a cup. Comfortable computing position because it's open friends -- machine to run cooler than your system completely where parents. To get it comes in three parts to -- in the days just plug in the classic -- into the base and you got yourself a laptop stand. Feet apart into its in the most sluggish grateful when you're working at your hotel room. And with the price of around forty dollars a lot cheaper than having a spine realigned by chiropractic Wallace and your back -- think."

" Notebook computers are great and after a couple of years machine get a little long in the -- Anti web sites run slow your multimedia software barely runs for buying any machine what can you -- you can try operating. Now. Why would you upgrade it -- design it yourself and you laptop what things -- one of these about notebooks -- the expensive as all hell so what you've spent 3000 dollars and he's a hardware you may not want to dump it after two years and others who want to get your money's worth. Yeah and that's one of the reasons what do you mean laptops can be one of these sort of beast. You know if he gets a hundred dollar per apparently short on value -- because he tentatively -- in a year you're gonna like oh man literally graphics card analyst for avenue want to be like points on the percent of them the -- buying populace that actually has agreeable graphic arts and then if you can find an upgrade the graphics card. You're you're you're SOL highly technical term and directed by -- 3000 dollar gaming notebook."

" Columbia flip side is you know spending all that much money on -- and that laptop notebook. Often times actually -- set with the motherboard so you're returns might be pretty load especially if you're trying to do is CPU. Upgrade or even video if you do not have the necessary. And with available on him over."

" Now on the upside this couple things if you move a lot of files on and off the hard drive and it takes forever your hard drives -- maybe you're pretty happy but want more storage. Upgrading your hard drive your laptop actually is usually pretty beneficial both in terms of performance and obviously making -- and making for more storage greater storage capacity. And it's usually relatively cheap."

" It is super sheep in fact when I bought my first MacBook three months later I bought a 250 gate Hitachi drive and I swapped out for the when sixty they came within. And I pretty much filled it up and we have like forty gigs left of space so during that time I've actually consciously filled it up with more crap."

" More crap yes happy -- speaking of crap memory if you find yourself. Applications -- larger -- leading photo editing or something it may be bought a less expensive version of a notebook only has 500 megabytes or gigabytes. If you up and up to two gigabytes of ram the ram is so cheap even nastier and stuff she's notebooks. Ram is usually really easy upgrade sometime this strange upgrade. Program is it really beneficial."

" In fact most of the time on most laptops it's actually located on the bottom and asking that the pop up -- play them the same issue one -- kind of read up on the specs for your particular notebook. Oftentimes for example this slowing PC -- I have only allows you to memory. Slots and those are limited to one gigabyte each so the total amount of ram I can actually stick on this. Is two gigs so don't go out and violate two to geek I think because they're not and that's not that's really get much out of them other than two gigs so. I keep that in mind you really kind of -- make sure you're getting what's appropriate for your laptop and not necessarily what would you would like to have. In this particular case I cannot take up the hard drive because it's covered pretty much by an entire acre of plastic."

" You can't do it you just taking the next six to twelve are actually burrow into it and get put back together as opposed to the MacBook which is almost. Stupid easy. Well it's kind of funny like most those who -- will hide the memory into the keyboard or on the backside like you said Mac what does this insane like lever snap out system. But it's actually what -- be used to it its its it's not a -- seamy -- like ratcheting out of the place."

" And again do we have -- respects because for example of this MacBook is the latest iteration of the MacBook will support two gigs per slot the older ones the original ones. Only support and gigs. Max I'm you can actually squeeze in three but."

" What you can you connect put in like 22 gigabyte memory stick her piece of memory and actually like three during the half gigs that's actually something what things -- check out this is. Check reform to search for model name good sometimes to find out. You can squeak out a little bit more in the ratings and in this case the laptop comes out really easy. The hard drive -- laptop. I gotta say this serial ATA on your laptop has much simpler to do yes tiny pins and the older -- just."

" You just plug in and -- now the thing is still pretty easy upgrade through the ones that are worthwhile doing especially if you have a laptop that's maybe a couple of years. There's still life and it but you're running -- space. Memory always helps especially if you've got like 512. Makes by default. Having a gig or more definitely more. Would definitely see and performance improvement especially if you're running multiple applications. That being said actually one -- action when -- that -- optical drives only came to the MacBook actually can't do that with most PC laptops. Screws. And the CD dvd rom drive pops out in this case it's dvd. -- I don't we need to change it right however if I got stuck with like a dvd rom CDR. Combo and and one dvd burning. You probably pay about 67 bucks for one -- if you search -- and you weigh in -- of these face plates are removable the puzzles come off although certain ones that takes the war effort the other ones. Just so you match it up well with their notebooks. Unless you just like having mismatched -- Now on your particular unit now -- again those those are let me go to these yuppies are the ones that pretty much indicative. Not going to get a little more sophisticated or you want to get a lot more adventurous you can actually -- into your machine and do things and he giggles because he knows what it. Joy this is in fact because at the pop the laptop okay well imagine."

" Having you know for -- it's worth a few hundred if you thousand dollars a couple grand right -- you spend your hard earned money maybe you're still making payments. And you get yourself your little sieve cool guys were divers are cool gal screwdrivers you've you've got your -- drivers. And that you know you may be go to a website and you start taking things apart like my keyboard. Yes relatively payments it is relatively painless however that's just to get over."

" 21 PCI. Actually meaning PCI card that contains my wireless or Wi-Fi. Card if you don't buy this included forty gallon that's damaged. You do have the remote possibility especially have a VTR PC notebook -- out for a new unit for a functioning -- And depending on what your situation is. However depending where it's located oftentimes Steve -- on the corner. I've seen some cases it's located. Quite easily underneath a laptop. But what's that and the kind of a pain because you gonna take the entire chassis apart -- them to get to him. So if you're adventurous you can actually save yourself -- some money if you need to upgrade in you don't have to get one of these expansion. For a express card or PC in nice we'll sausage into its."

" And part is if you knew from my. 211 and there. -- without any hacks they have in the car hanging out the side."

" That and you know it's not easy to lose it actually increases the value and opened because you can selling and just say -- and death and although you know and -- Phillips secretive and buying one of these don't expect to make a lot of money some notebook. Okay the profit margins pretty fit expected that the senator probably mean a loss margin. -- some cases you can actually swap out the screen as well again this. This is a big pain let me qualify this as we go. One person through trusted friend who has operated. The long that are on a Mac addict she's read up on a few people about it but I -- that animate like Patrick says it's not easy it's not simple and it's not -- you gonna do. Over the weekend -- you like do this for a living because it involves a lot of small parts. A lot of very delicate connecting India something that you would want to do."

" What are the advantages. To say advantage because people get all those crazy Apple adds that it gets so excited about the Mac books MacBook pro what are the advantages that sites like I fix it which is a great site to learn how to repair ipodder or replace -- your iPod. They have detailed step by step instructions on how to pull to basically pull apart notebook far enough to upgrade key part of your notebook if it's a Mac. We've run with a PC nobody invariably whether it's idea amber or compact provision that either there's a magical web sites I still haven't found. Or you're basically figure out how to pull all the C sit there with your blue tape and get taken like I'd also with a digital cameras don't take a picture every step of the way so now it puts it goes back together."

" The more generic laptops are made by the large Taiwanese you know we've made one model we sell to five different vendors. You might get away with that but I could go on with like a -- or something where they actually customize a lot of the arrangements inside. It's probably be a lot let's see now once they we didn't touch upon with the CPU. CPU. Is of course you know the that is the actual processor in the machine. MacBook he can't because it's actually -- and most yet and no sources it's honored its if you each year sorry it's -- through the bottom of the motherboard. If you're lucky enough to get one of those big DTR's it looked like the size of the you know of the old style briefcase -- the latch on it you actually can pop those outcome. However. CPU speeds are pretty expensive even if you get something is -- like -- two -- Mobile court to do part. It's not cheap compared to your desktop part and in the long term it's probably better just to wait for the rest of your laptop to go obsolete then to spend. You know what is that for three to 400 bucks on -- on the single processor when you spend that money into beta."

" Yeah I mean one thing is that when you -- after this new way direct try on your local computer store. He basically shop right is that new excellent the first was ever found where they actually had. Dvd drives for computers for -- like this you upgrade an older notebook to have a burner incited it didn't have it. Never really easy to find processors are almost impossible fine. I'm and what did you find out is is replacement screens you can find the -- usually really difficult it's what you need anything it's eBay Easter Easter hunt -- very -- and you gotta be really care for those half the time you know at some point right around some between 600 and a thousand dollars. You can buy it ugly nice new notebook it's gonna kick the snot out of almost anything it's two years old."

" And when you do then you're basically getting an entirely new generation of IO ports as well as -- front side bus and memory controller. Thirty G we'd she's she was ports that you don't have like firewire firewire 800 HDMI if -- and HD. I don't know if a lot of the underdog notebooks -- its its that's true but it's where firfer about 1200 bucks you can get a lot of those items in it and if you spend 400 bucks us to be much a safe -- And that's put it toward a new laptop. Again though. If you just need to squeak out more productivity a little more speed out of your existing laptop the cheapest and most effective ways to go is stored -- right. And members absolutely give it up two gigabytes an upgrade card. And like it wet that you mentioned and you -- director on the offer a lot of those pieces. Including the CP and stuff if you really wanted to go the extra amount and spend the money. Which I don't necessarily recommend unless you have if you want the lotteries opening a telecast."

" Or if you're an IT department and you have 10000 of this particular model notebook and your -- part because you have lots of parties walk across ram and hard drive in screens and and maybe because -- you know that in the capital budget expenditures it makes more sense for you to have an interim rebuilding. Notebook screens and adjusted to buy new notebooks but yeah they you know diminishing returns that would -- UG PU upgrades."

" I mean you know basic -- and bottom line. You know hard drive memory that's pretty much are we would recommend if you want to upgrade your notebook you can do additional stuff you can do the CD-ROM drive that I mean if if you really need it. If you needed DC if you need new graphics you know you can probably -- in the laptop anyway. Do however recycle your notebook if it still functioning but it's too slow for you needs. Considered donating it to local charity. Lots of times they can send them to needy people the students who don't have."

" Have access. Two equipment so they have released in the canyons or at the very least especially as the older notebook they can make sure it's properly recycled the tiny little bits of valuable material so it doesn't in the city landfill.

" But Apple released their MacBook and MacBook pro lines and when the over the next -- powered connections."

" The machines you is unfortunately there is no cigarette lighter attachment for charge your MacBook when you're in a car. Thankfully Patrick being has resourceful as he is has come up with AD -- way around that prop."

" Well actually wasn't thinking about it. Ha I think I'd pack I gotta point pretty much every edit who have taken aback as withdrawn -- no longer be out -- it does but. It -- stutter and stammer that whatever revenue or if you buy a cigarette lighter receptacle adapter which is actually the society of automotive engineers standard. G 563 it's the leading provider power socket in your car -- what -- you know these things -- you plug stuff into pubic light cigarettes with them back when people were evil and still smoke. Except of course where your new Apple MacBook or MacBook pro -- a back -- adaptor which is the cool little thing that looks like this. What they like to do commercials about because they can tell you that you no longer in pulling her notebook off the table because we of the magnetic adapter they."

" Yanks off yeah that's good for countries like me. You did you find it beneficial yet happens -- and I'm glad it's there but what Apple's airline adapter okay so it's a really."

" You're seeing that you actually brought your notebook -- it will its its its you know you've you've read the piper is not reusable mobile device because it's the want to there's like a millimeter off. I -- I'm going to explode things -- them into the wrong connector we're going to explode things when it's good news it's kind of the technical term next. Explode things like that it'll fit right so you like it fits into the cigarette -- of the cigarette. Power receptacle. Therefore must charge -- notebook you know what's really interesting is even if you use this in the I think it's like fifteen volts that are in the airlines systems which are -- crazy socket down -- and if you actually see that in there. That's that you plug into an airplane. It will not charger battery -- keep her notebook running it will keep it from depleting the -- but won't actually -- notebook and electrical charge and it -- it's sort of trickle cards unless it's getting sixteen volts are better it will not charge the battery. It's kind of like you have to cross that line or it's not happy so. First look at it -- storage and it's standard for the most excellent how to build an auto airline mag safe power adapter. We've got a link in the show notes. So for the -- version of this -- universal does notebook PC power there which is one of these new -- from targets idol makes them -- really matter as fog it has these sort of standard set of sockets that look like this will be like a number three -- number four socket and there are I found this -- the closeout CompUSA normally you're gonna pay about sixty dollars for one of these. And what's slick about these is depending on what tipped you plug and it'll automatically give you particular voltage. Analysts say and number four is sixteen volt which is perfect for MacBook in a number three goes to nineteen voltage is perfect for charging MacBook pro."

" I can't use this in your car you going to totally screw. For time."

" I don't think so if you ask Apple like I wouldn't be like you know go into the -- be -- I don't use."

" It's the word go bring it up justice -- and a picture. Yeah what what what if what you're actually. The -- mean not support that version of this is to is to wire it what you don't want to go back to the steps of Bible five millimeter throughput by millimeter DC power Jack which is one that looks like this or PowerPoint I should say. And so basically what you do you produce graft this on to -- or. MacBook or MacBook pro charger. By using a plug and he Jack or you can just sacrifice one of the cable adapters. To do this is like still attached to this okay because regrets about and basically you can run nineteen volts. Your MacBook pro editor PC. Charger or sixteen volts for your MacBook. Basically go from car you -- car okay. So car to be easy power adapter and then we're going to use -- standard plug in DC power adapter. And that we plug that into one of two things either into our mag safe airline connector. Or are modified. -- charger in question is why don't just sell African car charger nobody seems to answer that don't want an Apple has ever answered that as far as you know. No one outside of Apple has a really good reason they don't license the mag safe connector to third parties no third parties come up with -- lot of knock off. IPhone -- nobody selling knock off makes it checks at this point. None of the like you know is the targets the I go insert name of your favorites. Notebook. You know toy vendor is doing a knockoff mag safe polite. So if you go to Stewart's bits blades he basically says it's either they don't recognize the need or they don't care that people are asking for this."

" Outlook that's kind of typical I -- comets and -- Yeah us now I mean this is you know couples in the market that they need to fill they just don't get around to different one reason or another and a secret that you. People can carrier 200 -- power. It's not that hard if you look your Mac enough you'll be able to do it right I."

" enabled the DCDs he gets kind of frustrating that you don't have a slim easy cable that does -- you basically end up with a DC voltage adaptor the decent tip and either you know plugging your airplane charger. Now it funny that well it's it's it's actually pretty easy if you if your spell out time in the car and what you -- change challenge certainly of the past and if you have a lot of time in the car and you want to be able to charge your MacBook or MacBook pro of this about the all the way you're gonna do it let's what -- go to my diaper. Who sells pre modified Alicea targets.
