I need a new laptop for college and i was wondering if the hp tx2000z is a good idea. It has a tablet for you to write on or should i consider something else. I really do like that tablet feature though. Also a TV for my dorm, any good tvs? about 20inch screen?. Or should i just get a tv. tuner for my laptop to watch tv on that?. I need some suggestions. Better to buy now or in a couple months?
Answer
This all depends on how comfortable with the operating systems out there. You probably have heard Vista customers to be having a pain in trying to get their laptop to work effeciently. You probably have seen the mac commercials for how much better they are than Windows Vista. This all depends on the owner of the laptop as well, and the actual laptop's performance specifications.
If you aren't comfortable to learning how to work a Mac OS, or even Vista, any customizable computer online from companys such as HP or Dell can still give you Windows XP. Windows XP also runs smoother than Vista just because of the background processes being alot less than Vista.
If you are up to change for a Mac, then go for it. I, myself, have an HP laptop, and it works perfectly for the past 2 years I've had it. My friend has a tablet laptop, but it is from Gateway. I must say the tablet feature is very useful in the classroom, if you like using it to take notes. If you plan on getting a tablet and plan on using it everyday in the classroom and dont want to bring your power cord, I also recommend you to buy a 12 cell lithium battery, as opposed to the usual 6 cell. This way it will provide a longer battery life while you are on campus.
Don't believe all the Mac commercials about having backups. Windows has System Restore, which also creates routine back ups of your system. Viruses are also very seclusive. If you are careful about surfing the internet and not downloading foreign unknown files, and have a up to date antivirus, viruses should be no concern.
As for TV's. You should first find out your price range and decide what type of TV's you would like, a traditional tube or a new LCD? I have a 20 inch Vizio LCD tv. Vizio is a new producer of LCD TV's that provide a good product for a fairly low price compared to the other LCD TV competitors such as Samsung or Sony.
As for the time to buy: You would need your laptop from the beginning of school, so i suggest you buy one before school starts. TV's on the otherhand would be a luxury at school. You can wait until Black Friday (the friday after thanksgiving) where sales will be a plenty, so you can get a better deal on TV's.
Hoped this help.

What kind of car seat should I buy??
K. Ellis
I need the next size up for my 8 month old. One that transforms from rear facing to forward facing. I checked consumer reports and couldn't get a clear answer from them.
Answer
American Academy of Pediatrics says the 'best' car seat is one that fits your car (not all will!), fits your child, and will be used correctly 100% of the time. A seat that almost always fits the bill, in fact I haven't heard of a car it wouldn't work in yet, is the Britax Marathon/Boulevard/Decathalon. These 3 are the same seat, just different variances of luxury additions, with the Marathon being the cheapest base model, and it can be found for regular price of $269, and on sale at Albee Baby online for $209-$219. It is one awesome seat! That poster above who praised the Eddie Bauer seat? Please don't go with it. All the Safety1st/Dorel/Cosco/EddieBau... seats (they're all the same company) have sharp pointy edges on the skinny belt paths that will pinch and scratch your hands up every time you have put it in/pull it out. Go to Target or Babies R Us and take a look at the belt path on one of the 3-in-1 seats and then on a Britax seats. BIG difference. I'd skip the Roundabout, its not a good buy for the price, it doesn't last long enough. The Marathon a wide open easy to route belt path, which makes using it correctly a lot easier, as do the built in lockoffs, which mean you never again have to use a locking clip. I can get it into 4 different vehicles in under 2 minutes. Because of the way the base is made, it fits in most cars. And, it is worth the money, b/c it lasts usually twice as long as most other car seats (all car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture) lasting a baby till they are 5-6 years old, where most at Walmart will only last till 2-4 years old. It rear faces to 33lbs, which is very important since babies should stay rear facing AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!! If you have your baby front facing at 22lbs, turn her back around! Even the AAP and other safety experts say keep them rear facing to the limits of their seat. They are safest that way. And then the Marathon will front fact to 65lbs, 25lbs more usage than other seats, and it has 17"tall top harness slots, which is important since most kids outgrow their car seat by height before they outgrow it by weight.
Comparitively, the Safety1st/EddieBauer/Cosco seats have 14.5-15" top harness slots. Most kids won't even make it to 40lbs in them b/c the slots are too short, and you're out shopping for a car seat again, since kids shouldn't be in boosters until they are 5-6 years old, at least.
The Evenflo Triumph DLX is an ok seat, I loved the features of it (like the knobs to adjust tightness, and up front height adjustment and recline) until I realized that the short shell meant my son outgrew it at 33lbs, 18 months old!!! Then I had to find him another seat...his third, including the carrier he had as a newborn. If I'd have bought a Marathon from the beginning, I could've bought ONE seat instead of 3! The NEW Evenflo Triumph Advance has solved this problem, though, and it is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17", harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn't have built in lockoffs. Great choice, if you can find it. It just came out this month and hasn't made it to all the stores yet.
The Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible seat is great, it is made by Britax, without all the frills. It's the same shell as a Marathon, but for less than half the price. $130 at Albee Baby online with free shipping, or at their eBay name, babysurplus. Rear faces to 33lbs, forward to 55lbs. Easy to use, fits in most cars.
These are the best you can buy that will give you the most bang for your buck. As a single parent I'm always watching the budget - I have no money to speak of, and these are what I would buy. (My son has a marathon and is soon getting a Britax Regent). They will last the longest. I only wish someone would've told me all this before I had him, I coulda saved some money for the extra seats I started out with!
All seats in the US must meet the same safety criteria to sell, so technically they all are safe, however, if its hard to install, then it won't be used correctly and that makes it unsafe.
