I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ4 Laptop, I want to ask about : will this laptop allow me to install new VGA card (mobile vga card) , I think there is something wrong with my irrigated VGA and to my knowledge that replace new irrigated VGA wouldn't be a good idea, or at least tell me where I can find the detail specification for my laptop's mainboard, 'cause i can't find it anywhere.

From what I see no you cant, but I can recommend a replacement if you offer budget and what you need to do.

maybe its a great price but imo and i think i can speak for a lot of the ltt community when i say, 11 inches is too small for a laptop. feels like a tablet with a keyboard, something along the lines of a surface pro with an apple logo on it :/ i would go with something better and bigger (13 inches at least) that can run things smoothly other than just browsing and ms programs :P

I can agree on you with that heavily! But hey, it's a high class laptop for that cheap, even if its a Mac. Never the less I love the idea of 11 inch laptops. For someone who carry's a GT60 through his highschool can get back pains lol. But I can agree with you, up and down that it is pretty small. Tablets I feel are a little too strange with a keyboard. Surface looks cool but from what I'v seen its also pretty lacking in things.

well as what i see so far , i think my only choice is try to find another VGA chips to replace old one , and save the money to buy the new laptop

Well the compac has a integrated chip so its unable to do that. Your options are really only find a new PC. Sadly :/

i got some hands on time with the new surface, i turned down the idea of trying one out or getting one for my brother because the thing is so damn smallllllllll. the reason i turned down the mbp with retina (13 inch) is because it felt too small when i put my hands on the keyboard. so the options were narrowed down to 2 laptops. the razer blade and the 15 inch mbp and for the price, the blade was the winner and i couldnt be happier with the size. my hands were meant for this thing! :P the only reason i may have gone with the mac was because going through grades 4-8 my school used macbooks to get school work done and thats what they had in the school so the only OS i was used to working on was osx 9 and tbh the move to windows 8 for work and whatnot was fast and easy imo. windows makes work easy to organize and fast to access so, PROBLEM SOLVED :D

I love windows 8! Only with Start is back tho! I mean we have a iMac in the house but its hogged by my sister and I really never like OSx lol but I like small laptops, since I suffer from heavy lifting and back problems then it would be amazing to have a 13 inch and 11 inch laptop. Keyboards I can get used too and screen sizes.
