Does it have the "quick play" feature that lets you watch videos and play music with out booting up? I saw commercials and ads for that but not sure exactly how that works. |
TT, I am gonna jump in here. Dutch, my girlfriend has the same laptop, yeah the Quick Play is kinda cool. Right now when her computer is on, she uses Media Center to watch DVD, but that is correct, you could use "Quick Play" w/o booting up. Although, it is not instantaneous, it still takes a few seconds to "boot up". Nevertheless, it is a cool feature.

Your processor is a pentium 4 ,probably a prescott ( aka pressHOT ) , those run at incredible high temperatures so you need a noisy or a huge fan .
TT´s one is a Core Duo ( Yohan ) or Core 2 Duo ( Merom ) , based in the old pentium 3 , those processors can outperform a pentium 4 with a lot less GHZ , lets say a P4 3.2ghz = Core Duo 1.5ghz , so they run a lot cooler and you need a less noisy fan .

wish they'd told me that when I bought it. My old one was an 1,8ghz IBM with a centrino processor, and it never, ever made a sound. I could have it on at night in my bedroom, downloading through the night,.... but not this one... sounds like it is about to fly off my table at times.
