    How to Upgrade Your Laptop

    Deciding whether to upgrade your laptop or buy a new one is a big decision. For most of us, a laptop is an essential tool - for work and play - so speed and memory are a huge deal.

    While conventional wisdom may fall into the “buy a new one” camp, replacing some parts or making a few changes can save the DIY-er a lot of money or give you a few extra months while you wait for the best time to buy a new laptop.

    Whether you’re hoping for better graphics, more RAM, or faster processing power, here's what you need to know before you start upgrading your laptop:

    Print Basics: RGB Versus CMYK
    The colours on your website don’t quite match your business cards. Your latest flyers are clashing with your trade booth banners. And your promotional video is looking decidedly washed out on your client’s monitor.

    What is HP ePrint and How Can I Use It?
    We believe that the home printer is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

One of these ways is performing a factory reset on your computer so you can remove any malware, increase its speed, or get it ready for a new user.

    First, you must identify your operating system and the steps required to reset your laptop. An OS besides Windows may require different steps to accomplish a full factory reset, and it’s imperative to know which you are using before you begin the process.

    HP-Care-Pack-Buying-Guide

    When purchasing a new PC, it’s easy to overlook warranty options or decline coverage altogether for one reason or another.
