recommended laptops for video editing 2011 image
caseyw1286
Okay, so I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 Laptop that is about 6-7 years old. I'm not sure what exactly the video card is but it is very basic. My laptop has been running Windows Vista ever since I had it. Today, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. Two days ago (when I still had Vista), I made a slide show using Windows Live Movie Maker. When I updated to 7, I downloaded and tried to open up Live Movie Maker but it said I didn't meet the requirements. I was able to open it up in Vista so I can't understand why it wouldn't open up in 7 since my laptop is the same. Does Windows 7 have different requirements?
Answer

How is the Nintendo 3ds XL?
ilovemyfat
I kind of want to get the bundle online from Walmart, but I'm not too sure how it is? If you own the 3ds XL, how do you like it? Pros and cons? Would you recommend it?
Answer
I really like the 3DS XL. I'm not sure what you want pros and cons compared to. I have a list of things I like compared to the regular 3DS:
-Larger screens, obviously.
-It has a matte finish, which means you really don't see fingerprint marks on the outside.
-The stylus is located on the right side instead of from the behind like it was on the 3DS. Seems annoying to have to reach to the back to get the stylus out rather than from the side.
-Better look, IMO. I mean, I look at a picture like this of the 3DS: http://dvice.com/assets_c/2011/02/3DS-la⦠and it just doesn't look that great. I think the 3DS XL looks much nicer.
-The screen snaps into place at 2 different angles. So when you're opening it, you'll hear a click at one angle (about the angle you'd open up a laptop at), and then again at a larger angle (like a standard gaming angle).
-Less glare (going more by word with this one, as I never really used the 3DS).
-Better 3D. I went to the store one day a few weeks to see what the 3DS looked like and what the 3D looked like, and it took me like 15-30 seconds to angle myself with the display one to see the 3D effect. It really isn't hard to see the 3D on the XL.
-Better device colors. Having seen the display 3DSes at stores, I really wasn't that impressed with the colors. They're alright, but nothing special. I also wasn't that impressed looking at the pictures of the 3DS XL colors on Nintendo's website. But when I pulled out my blue 3DS XL, the color looked amazing. I was and am REALLY happy with the color and wouldn't change a thing about it if I could. So try not to judge the color by the pictures they have, because they're a far cry from how great the colors actually are in person. I also checked on youtube, and you still can't see how good the colors are in videos, you just have to see it in person.
-Better battery life.
-There are probably some other things I'm forgetting.
Plus you can play regular DS games AND 3DS games, whereas anything besides the 3DS and 3DS XL will only play regular DS games.
The portability and pixelation were 2 things I was worried about before purchasing. Portability hasn't been a problem at all like I thought it would - it fits in all my pockets fine. And the pixelation is hardly noticeable. Unless you're actively looking for it, you won't notice it.
I definitely don't regret my purchase at all, so I obviously recommend it. If you want to know anything else about it, just say so and I'll try to edit this :)
