Google Translator

Have you ever written German, Spanish or Filipino without knowing that particular language? Well, your answer would definitely be a big NO. Yes, I also would think the same but I can now proudly say that I can express my feelings in many other foreign languages. Google Translator is a Google feature that allows you to translate text in your language to any other languages of your interest.

One day while chatting with one of the best friends of mine from Philippines, I used Google Translator and sent her message in Filipino language. She was so impressed and happy that I cannot explain now in words. She was even more surprised. But I finally told her the secret and she laughed. It was really a memorable moment for me. So, you can also use Google Translator and make fun with friends.

My laptop is having some problem

I love my laptop and can’t live a day without the device. But today I was very sad as my laptop was not working properly. My sister mistakenly shut down the laptop by disconnecting the power plug. After half an hour when I started the laptop, there was no display on the screen. I could not decide and thought to consult the customer care personnel. The phone was engaged.

I then went to the office and showed the laptop to the professional. To my surprise, when he switched on the laptop, it worked properly. I don’t know what had happened to my lappy at home. Anyway, I am now happy that my laptop is working properly and I can do my work without any hassle. However, if I find any problem, I will definitely consult the professional again.

First of all, I tried simple things because I didn’t want to make the thing complex. I removed the battery and started the laptop with an AC adaptor. I removed the hard drive, the DVD drive and wireless card, but nothing helped. I went a little bit further – I opened the laptop case, removed the LCD screen assembly and reseated the video card. Eureka, eureka… the laptop started working. I assembled everything back in position. I am really happy that I fixed up my friend’s laptop.

How much RAM do you need for your laptop?

RAM (Random Access Memory) is one of the most important components of a laptop device. It is considered as the lungs of the laptop device. When it breathes without any hurdle, your laptop works faster and you can open Microsoft applications, and play games swiftly. However, when the RAM does not work properly or the RAM capacity is not up to the mark then the device performance is affected directly.

When I bought my laptop, the RAM capacity was 1GB. Initially, I had no problem but after sometime when I had stored enough data on my laptop, I was facing problems in browsing, as the device was working so slowly. I consulted a software professional and he advised me to upgrade the RAM to 2GB. I did the same and now my laptop is working properly.

Most of the laptops available in the market come with 2GB RAM, however, one can definitely customize the size as per his or her requirements. But, as far as my personal experience is concerned, 2GB RAM is worth it.

How to Upgrade Laptop’s Hard Disk Drive or SSD?

However, with time, your mini laptop lost some of its original luster – you cannot open Microsoft and other applications quickly because the hard disk drive space has been filled almost completely. Well, the best solution now is to add some space using a hard drive.

If your laptop uses a standard 2.5 inches 5,400 rpm hard disk drive, as most laptops do then you can easily replace the drive with a larger and faster SSD. But if your laptop is older, there is an upgrade disk available for almost all laptop models in the market. Use it and increase the size and speed of your laptop.
