Is there a world of warcraft portable edition?

Joe

Like a version that is smaller than the real file, as it is huge. I want to put it on an 8gb flash drive, but it won't fit. I want to do this so i can play it without having it take up nearly all of the small hard drive on my laptop.

Answer
Something my dad does is he has a external hard drive you can just connect to your pc. You can get them small im sure and when you install warcraft just set the file location to the external hard drive :D.

Cheap External Hard Drives?

Harry

Where can i get a cheap portable external hard drive without buying on Ebay or Amazon etc? What is 'rotational speed'? What is 2.5" and 3.5"? My computer has 18GB Free space out 34GB, what do you recommend?

Is the 'SEAGATE 2.5" FreeAgent Go 320GB Blue External Hard Drive' ok?

Answer
If you want portable you'll want a 2.5". If you buy a 3.5" they are heavier and require a power pack.
The hard drive you have linked to looks like a good one. This one will just plug and play into your computer. I have a similar one to this (160GB) and it is great.
18GB spare is still a good amount if you are short of cash and need to save up, but an external hard drive is always a good idea to back up important data.
I wouldn't worry about the rotation speed, I think that is just to do with how fast the drive is read, but when it is only back data that doesn't matter.
Get a drive you like the look of.

I'll give you a suggestion. If you are getting the above drive buy a 'Case Logic Hard Drive Protective Case' I have one of these to protect my drive. They cost £14.99 at PC World or £8.00 at Staples. When I had my first external hard drive my daughter pushed it off the sofa and broke the hard drive so when I replaced it I brought a hard protective case for it.

i need some advices to buy a new hard drive?

KSAGirl

I want to buy a new external hard drive , around 350 to 500 GB , but i don't know what is the best hard drive !!
cause i have lots of movies and i want them to be save in a hard drive for ever ! is it possible ? or i can lose data ?

Answer
I just received my copy of the January issue of PC World Magazine and it has a review article on external hard drives, the article's title is "The Wide World of External Drives." Its a great article reviewing 10 top notched drives divided in to 2 catagories, portable and desktop external hard drive. You are probably best off with a desktop external hard drive since you just want to backup your movies. The more compact and portable a drive is the most expensive it becomes. Personally, my preference is for Western Digital and Maxtor. I have both products and they are extremely reliable. Please read the article for all the reviews:

"The Wide World of External Drives: Today's options provide impressive combinations of speed, interfaces, features, and software." -- written by Narasu Rebbapragada (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127545/article.html#)

It is a shame that Black Friday has come and gone. The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday" and it is the number one shopping day of the year. Stores slash prices hoping to attract customers. Best Buy was selling a Western Digital 250GB external hard drive for $59.99 (no rebates). If you can hold off buying the hard drive until Christmas, you can save a lot of money because stores like Best Buy or Circuit City will have holiday specials on computers and accessories.

Which of these 3 portable hard drives is best?

Player

I need to get a new portable hard drive and I found these all similarly priced. They all have similar ratings and reviews so I need an opinion on which is best. I need one that can run fast and reliably and is very easy to use, like plug and play.

1. Toshiba

2. Western Digital

3. Seagate

Answer
Western Digital lasts long and it is one of the best in the world.

Toshiba makes good hard drives but they don't last long and you'll need to replace them soon.

Seagate is an okay hard drive but its a more down market version of the western digital.

I say go with the Western Digital.

How could they not put an X or Close button on Windows 8 apps?

Jim

It's just unfreaking believable how the designers of Windows 8 did NOT put any X or Close button on apps/programs that open up! I have to sit there and hit ALT - Tab just to get back to windows. There must be something up , maybe it's a world wide conspiracy to make people go crazy or something because something that basic and logical could not just have been left out on accident. Someone please help me with the logic of this!

Answer
alt F4 will close apps and logic is simple

microsoft has domain pretty much over the home desktop and laptop market and has done for ages how ever there no longer the most popular operating system if you count *dramatic music* mobile devices such as tablets mobile phones pda's etc and this seems to be where the markets heading for example laptop and deskop sales going down year by year tablet and mobile phone sales going up year by year so microsoft has desided to make a OS and compete in the portable market along with there tablets and phones etc (enter windows 8) which is basic windows 7 with few minor tweeks to kernel and genric library modules and new UI skin but really and truly not hugely different and im not the only person that feels this quite a few others have stated similar findings. i have actually debugged half the rc2 beta and i can tell you there not a huge deal of difference based on windows 7 with latest service pack and updated .net frameworks we are talking minimal to be honest a couple 100mb patch if that

ooo microsoft admits it
from the windwos 8 page on Microsoft.com

"Windows 7, only better

Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7, but itâs been improved on all fronts. You can install Windows 8 on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7."

i know that dont say it exactly but you can see its really is just saying windows 7 updated

so now you know windows 8 is not designed really with laptops and desktop pc's in mind imo and fact all adverts on tv for it are on tablets and phones aint seen 1 with someone sitting in front of a desktop yet

now you know that thinkg have you ever seen a x button on a android app or iphone app ? no of course not mobile devices have back buttons or home buttons

other examples (based on rc2 beta) the new start button feature looks brilliant works great until u got on a pc wih a 2tgb hard drive start to fill it with apps and programs like 800gb of stuff and that start button even on OC i7 with 8gb ddr3 2200mhz takes about 3 mins to load wonder if they fixed that (probs have was a bad idea trying to get shortcuts to half the os rather just the gagets that dashboard was designed for) but on a tablet with only 16gb or 32gb of storage probs works instantly


there is ofcourse the other argument that lot of people dont know how to use a pc envrioment but know how to use windows 8 since they already have a tablet or a smart phone

alot of other os's and distro's have gone this way for example unity on ubuntu (would point out though that since this they have lost positions in best desktop and laptop distro to linux mint and other distros) gives it a very app feel which for new users to linuxs and pc's is great but most desktop and laptop users dont want flashy icons they want a stable nice desktop... and of course CHROME os by google


i think personally the style of them are good for the average consumer by which i mean people just want something that works don't want to play games or atleast not high resources games just want to watch you tube write emails listen to a few mp3's and share things on facebook etc all low resource things web browser , media player sort thing you can have 3 instance open of each and on a decent pc your not using even half the ram and processing power available average computer these days id say has 4gb ram + paging file and quad core processor at about 2.5ghz (average) so whats 2-3 web browser running in background a media player and couple of explorer tabs ur not even hitting 30% of that ram and processor power) so dont matter about closing things and freeing up resources since ur not even using half of what the computer has and all taking care of at shut-down when just clears lot

(not saying i agree with it but think for average user it aint going to be a issue + garbage collection got a lot better and memory leaks handled quite well since 7)

for the more intense user windows 8 is not the way to go FULL STOP go back to 7 or switch to Linux ( and never pay a penny again) i did about 5 years ago and never looked back and don't believe that rubbish that nothing will work Linux has alternative for pretty much every thing and if there isnt 1 using wine can usually get the windows version to work any way.

p.s i am slightly bias since i think windows 7 was only os they got rite since windows 2000 every other 1 for example xp had 550mb of services packs before it was stable bare in mind original xp was only 800mb uncompressed to begin with they basicly had to patch almost 3/4 of the original size of the os to get it to work and be stable
