Assuming thats a laptop based off of the T series chip, what brand and model is it... also, what size HDD and what graphics card does it have (onboard or dedicated, model, and memory size)?

1. Laptop? Yes.
2. Brand? HP Compaq.
3. Model? 6910p.
And hopefully the picture should answer the rest of the questions I did not answer, if not tell me what I missed and how can I let you know? Thanks!

for $290 thats not bad at all, seeing as when they came out they retailed for around $1200. you could potentially upgrade the memory to 4gb and then youd have quite a descent machine on your hands for the price you paid.
its a good machine, my rating is around 4, so your around there. Unless you below 2, its all good

How do I know how many slots I have available for RAM, and what RAM I exactly need? I am kinda new to computers but I know there are different types, like there is not just 1 type of 2gb DDR2 RAM..
What you have there is a business laptop. It has an Intel integrated GM965 chipset with integrated video (it sucks but does the job. Don't expect to play Blops at full visuals). Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300, max 2Gb/slot. It has 2 slots for a maximum of 4Gb
The 6910b is a stalwart laptop, able to take a good bit of abuse. Just don't expect it to be a high-end (or even mid-range) graphics lappy
Yours truly,
[HP engineer]

For $290 its not garbage... its a descent rugged machine. Its not going to play games well, but its more than sufficient for web browsing and listening to music. Why dont you take your negative comments somewhere else.

I don't know about RPGs anymore, I was a huge fan of them back in the FF7 days but I haven't played one since then. Not really a fan of fighting games either.

Agree. Not to mention, had my daughter spill a whole cupfull of water on mine, while it was playing a movie. Unplugged it, dryed it, and it still works like it's brand new! Unlike the 360, all u have to do is look at it wrong and your sending it off to get serviced. Microsoft piece of crap!

Can't lie, XBL is badass, I love the features but what is it now, $60 a year?
Not much really but still a pain to have to pay for something like that on top of paying $60+ for games.
But for some people who don't have a computer or sick phone, my gf's friend only has a ps3 and a wii, no computer and a jinky old phone and she uses her ps3 to watch youtube vids and uses it to search the web.
Hell I use my ps3 almost all day on my days off, between streaming music, watching netflix and playing black ops, it never gets a break and never once has it over heated or givin me any errors, my dad's 360 always has disc read errors even after getting the lense cleaned.

I don't really think it matters much. If you give it about another year or two smartphones will be as powerful if not more powerful than handheld gaming devices. I can really see the handheld gaming market getting phased out. Its already in the process

I don't see that happening for a while yet, at least a decade.
Folk wisdom in the 80s used to be that due to the versatility and power of personal computers, dedicated gaming consoles were dead after the '84 crash.
Look how well that turned out.
I see the dedicated handheld market slowly plodding along towards digital distribution, similar to computer and console gaming but the mechanics and process won't be the same.
Dedicated portable gaming market will die when battery technology is sufficient enough that spending any serious amount of time gaming on our cellphones, especially resource and network intensive games, won't require us to have a charger or spare battery nearby.

Vita is a full fledged gaming device, and if they have fit in so much already into a small frame, and have throwed in 3g, why not a antenna? That would just make it a ultimate device (which my rom tries to achieve ), just throw in fb and twitter and your all good. Then vita will own ALL the handheld market

I do agree that smart phones are quickly gaining ground on dedicated handheld gaming machines, but even as smart phone technology improves, so does technology behind dedicated gaming devices. The difference is that in order for smart phones to remain in competition with gaming devices, they need multiple hardware and software upgrades before the next handheld gaming generation releases. I'm not so sure the handheld gaming market will be phased out entirely.
I think once an elegant way to figure out how to add good analog controls to a phone is found the stand alone market will be further eroded. Xperia PLAY is a step in the right direction but is somewhat half-baked.

Actually it is, an Android phone. There is already a version of the PSP known as the Xperia Play.
If the phone has 3G, an ATT sim card, and a microphone, then why do you all think some industrious developer won't just plug in the sim from one of his actual phone accounts and dev an app that allows you to make phone calls?
Just sayin.
As to holding a phone up to your face, haven't you heard of a bluetooth headset?

Nah, really I'm not missing out. I have played both platforms online and PS3 is my preferred choice. I'm the opposite of you - I've had a PS3 since release day, but am on my 3rd Xbox which I only got cos it was so cheap. I get them and then regret it and sell them normally. I'll keep it this time though, just for the exclusives.
Personally, I prefer an online experience where you don't have spoilt little brats calling you ever racist or homophobic slur they can think of. And I'd rather not listen to someone else's favourite dubstep track while trying to play a game. There's certainly a lot more Xbox users (kids always buy the cheaper console), but that's not really relevant when the first thing you do is mute every single one of them.

Word and word. I would like if a few more people had mics on PS3 to call in movement in BF3, but the spot function works well enough that my K/D stays positive and my team usually wins. I'll deal with that sacrifice if it means no little turds flapping their gums and not having to pay another $30 a month on top of internet costs. PS3 controller fits my hands better as well, but that's just nitpicking.
