Can I watch the OSU-USC football game while I'm in France?
I'm a student at Ohio State, and--as you can probably guess--I'm a huge buckeyes fan. Unfortunately my sister went and got herself a job in France this year, and I am going to help her move in. Of course the way things work out, my last night in France will be September 12t, the day of the OSU-USC game. Is there anyway I can watch the game on my laptop using the hotel room's internet while I'm there? I'm not sure how ESPN 360 works, or if that would even be an option, if it is can someone explain that to me? or if you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks

Answer 1 :
It will be cheaper to use internet cafes
Answer 2 :
Get a notebook not to heavy
Answer 3 :
i would rather buy a laptop cuz if u just do cafes, then ull have to wait for people to use them. and if u hav ur own laptop, u hav better privacy than using the cafes!
Answer 4 :
i think use their cafes but yes your own laptap give u more freedom thin is u mite have prob in conecting and stuff or mite even losss it so better to use cafe if u not sure abt connection and takin care u have to keep cheking it wil disturb your fun <at that wat happed to me>
Answer 5 :
Most 4-5 star hotels provide free internet access, so it would be a money and time saver to have your own laptop. I travel with mine, and I enjoy the freedom and access it afforded--especially if it was a boring day in the hotel. Be sure to check if your laptop is dual voltage. If it isn't, you'll have to use a voltage converter. Also you'll need the adapter plugs for the various countries.
Answer 6 :
Use internet cafés instead of the laptop. Wireless connection pricing is just incredibly high here in Europe right now!!
Answer 7 :
I would recommend using the internet cafes. Reason being each country has different electrical voltages and each country has a different type of plug. So if you are traveling to the UK for example, the UK standard voltage is 220 with a completely different plug than the US. This means 220 volts will "fry" your US computer if you do not have a plug that also regulates the voltage. Even if you have several different plug adapters that regulate voltage you still run the risk of power surges or other damage to your laptop. Granted internet cafes can be expensive it does not beat having to pay several hundred dollars to replace a laptop. My advice would be unless you need your laptop for work then you are better off using internet cafes.
Answer 8 :
You're travelling to Europe and you're worried about having a laptop with you? Are you so blase about Europe that you'd rather be spending your time online instead of being engaged with the reality around you? If that's the case, save your money and stay home and watch 'Lonely Planet', or 'Rick Steves' on tv. Come on. If you need an occasional internet fix just go to a cafe and be done with it. Why lug an an extra piece of luggage around with you?
Answer 9 :
You can find lots of places to go on line here without having to lug a laptop around with you on the trip. It is true that a lot of hotels have internet connectivity, but don't count on it being free. There are a few places like the hotel Verona that have free internet, but it can be pretty expensive in other places. The hotel I'm in right now charges 15 euro for a 24 hour period. their hourly rate is much more that the internet cafe just down the street. The hotel I was in the weekend before last charged even more. How much time do you expect to spend on line anyway? The only reason I am is because I needed to sit for a few minutes with a coffee since I've been walking all day.
Answer 10 :
Definitely forget about the laptop!! a) You'll have to carry the extra luggage, mostly as hand luggage. This means you have to go through annoying security checks as well, and you'll always keep an extra eye on it. I once had a laptop with me to London and it got stolen within the first hour at a Burger King in the 30 seconds that we left unattanded. b) With laptops many hotels charge high rates for internet access- just like they charge for the minibar. c) You can easily find internet cafes around. Most give an hourly access for 1-2 € and you can use this many times within a week till you consume this 1 hour. d) You don't even have a laptop which means you don't need it in your daily life. So why bother !?
Answer 11 :
Why would you need a computer while you're travelling? Unless you plan on doing business or uploading thousands of photos, don't consider dragging something like that around. There is internet everywhere. EDIT*-- someone said it would be a 'money saver'?!! How is it a money saver to BUY a laptop in order to save a few Euros a week in internet cafe fees?
Answer 12 :
You should use the internet cafes but I don't recommend looking at porn though lol.

Will GTA iv work on this laptop 100% perfectly?
i am from france and i went to boston in the united states and i am in university now and i will finish after 4 years this is my first year and i was working to buy a Alienware M15x and i just got the money and i have customized the laptop and i checked it. it was for 3,000$ and i have 3,000$ so i want you people tell me should i buy it or no and will it work on Gta iv 100% perfectly PROCESSORIntel® Core™ i7 940XM Quad Core Processor, 2.13GHz (3.33GHz Turbo Mode, 8M Cache) OPERATING SYSTEMGenuine Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit, English MEMORY8GB Dual Channel Memory (2x 4GB DDR3) WIRELESS CARDSIntel WiFi Link 5300 802.11AGN Half Mini Card BATTERY OPTIONSPrimary - 9-cell (85Watt) Lithium-Ion Battery INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVESlot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW) HardDrive: 500GB sataII 7,200RPM VIDEO CARD1024 MB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5730 LCD PANEL15.6-inch WideFULLHD 1920x1080 (1080p) With LED SOUND OPTIONSInternal High-Definition 5.1 Surround Sound Audio

Yes, 100% sure. Your Laptop have all the ability to play High configuration Games.................... I'm hardware Engineer
Answer 2 :
Yes perfectly. Although you could save a bit of money by going for the i5 rather than i7 processor and it won't affect performance too much. The most important thing is the graphics card.
Answer 3 :
Yeah that'll run beautifully.
Answer 4 :
Your system is just a little bit slower than my system, and I can only guess but I think it will run ok. Keep in mind programs that are running in the back ground slow it up a little too. I just beat my first GTA 4 yesterday, and the link below helps you prepare for every mission. Some are very easy, and some are extremely hard. One mission you have to kill a guy on a big cargo ship. You have to kill around 150 guards to get to the one you have to kill. It takes a while to get use to driving the cars in this game also, and bikes. If you are familiar with GTA SA you have 50 oysters, Horseshoes, 50 snap shots, and 100 tags to do, but in GTA 4 you have 200 "flyingrats" to kill. They are pidgins. Cheats are all done via a cell phone that you have to dial once then it is in the phones memory under cheats. It is a good, fun game. I hope you enjoy it as I do. I have GTA 3, GTA SA, and GTA 4 that play on my computer.
