How do you customize your laptop?

Load it up with Memory and keep the bullshit off. No games or anything on my stuff. Download all porn and software, hacks, etc from a completely separate PC and don't do it with anything else running on the network.

 

I've never had a problem doing it this way. If my download computer get's a virus, I flip off the wifi switch and wipe it.

What do you guys/gals/undecided gender people usually do with your laptops when you get them to make them "better"? What manufacturers to you trust and keep going back to?

 

Do some research on Windows Tweaks (I use Black Vipers) http://www.blackviper.com/2010/12/17/black-vipers-windows-7-service-pack-1-service-configurations/.

 

Unfortunately you can't overclock most lappy's but I use D3DOveridder (comes bundled with rivatuner - http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163) to help "tune" windows such that my browser/media players open with more allocated resources (makes them run faster).

 

+1 on a separate computer for downloads/vids/hacks etc. Only problem now is most hackers are "crypting" (encrypting) there viruses such that they get by most any AV on the market - so yea, there's really no easy way to know if your computer is infected. A unidentified virus running on your network is bad bad news.

 

Also browse with Firefox + the No-Script add-on, probably the best defense against viruses you can get and it's free.

I tend to appreciate my HP laptop. Has never really let me down, and is only just starting to show it's age compared to my new desktop. I need to crack into it and add RAM, as I never have.

 

Back when ACER and others like it were more no-name, I think they were a bargain... Not sure what is out there like that these days
