Will this work with the usb port in a 2012 Dodge Charger?

best portable external hard drive 2012 image

Kyle

I recently purchased a 2012 Dodge Charger and it has a USB port that I can plug a thumb drive into with music on it. I was wondering if a Western Digital - My Passport Essential 500GB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive model number WDBACY5000ABK-NESN would work the same way? How much would heat/cold affect it if I left it in the car 24/7? What other concerns should I have with doing this?

Thanks for your help,
thisguy

Answer
One of these will stand up to the 130+ degree heat in a car. 128GB ea.

Macbook air or pro? College student?

JellyBelly

I'm in college and I'm thinking about buying either a MacBook Air (2013) 4GB 128GB Flash Storage or a MacPro (2012) 4GB 500GB Hard Drive, the reason I even began looking was cause I wanted something small and portable, even though the air is a lot more thin, the pro is only a pound heavier. Also the price doesn't matter much cause the Pro is about $100 more and I'm willing to spend that if it will be a better fit for me.
I will use it mainly to study on campus, word document, web browsing, maybe photo editing if I purchase a program.

Any comments and suggestions would help, unless you're going to tell me that I should get a PC, please don't bother. I already own a PC that I love but I'm looking to switch to a Mac.

Thanks.

Answer
Definitely a Pro! The Air doesn't have a hard drive so if you need to use a CD for whatever reason, you will not be able to do so unless you buy an external hard drive. I am also a college student and most of the students at my school have a Macbook Pro, very few have the Air

What computer technologies should I expect in 2012?

I want to buy a new gaming laptop for collage.I have this year an 1+ from high school and I am going to go in 2011-2012 in collage. I want a top gaming laptop of 3500-5500$
Will there be a new CPU, Graphic card, Ram that will be much faster then ?

Answer
This is sort of a pointless question.

Of course there will be new CPU's, new GPU's, faster and higher capacity RAM and hard drives. They are in a constant state of change, and new additions to each of those categories come out at least once a year, so you're looking at at least 2 generations better than what we have now.

But you might want to rethink your strategy, as a super powerful gaming laptop is not very portable and it's battery life will suck. And as a college student myself, you are going to want a laptop that you can take where ever you need, easily (both weight and size) and something that wont die in an hour. Come back to Yahoo Answers when you are ready to buy a gaming laptop, as any advice as to parts is pure speculation and will lead you astray.

How do I get rid of XP Antispyware 2012?

Meagan

It just got onto my laptop yesterday and I could tell it was a fake antispyware program because I've had one like it before, but I don't know how to get rid of it! I tried searching through my computer to find it and delete it, but It couldn't find it. Someone please help me get rid of this! I can't even go onto any webpages because it'll pop up as "Internet Explorer alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!"

Answer
follow the others instructions and see if that works. sometimes it does not which leads to the final option of reformatting the hard drive. reformatting the hard drive will wipe it clean of everything which is something you should consider doing if the other options do not work.

before you reformat make sure you back up your files. if you do not then your files will be wiped completely and you wont be able to get them back. i would suggest you use a hard drive enclosure since it allows you to access just the files like a portable hard drive instead of running it through the operating system. i use a bt-300 by topmicrousa that i would highly suggest you check out.

after you back up your files, reformat the hard drive then recopy the files.

if you have any other questions feel free to send me an email and ill do my best to help \(^_^)/
