I do not have to pretend anything about Quad vs Dual, I mentioned what the guy at best buy told her not what I knew, but then again if you could figure out how to read what was written vs what you want to read you would realize that. I get what you are saying about the core vs processors, and like I have said and so have others, you sure can tell your a Geek squad employee who feels they have to defend why they misinform the average user just to make themselves sound intelligent and sell a higher priced item then is needed. But then again it is not worth any of my time to prove a point to someone who obviously believes anything the High geek at geek squad tells them in order to make a sale
I didnt come up with any extra details, my post simply stated they told her it had 4 different processors on it, I never stated I did not think quad cores where not as fast a dual cores, I stated he told her it was four processors in the computer where a dual core only has 2 processors as far as I know there is a HUGE difference between 4 cores and 4 processors the difference meaning 4 cores in ONE processor where as 4 processors means just that 4 DIFFERENT processors,, but in your infinate wizdom I am sure I am wrong.... but your posts definatly make you sound like your a geek squad employee because you are consistant in defending there ignorance of computer... I am still trying to figure out where in my post I came up with different details other then they do not know what they are talking about at geek squad. Yes it was her first computer, that she owns, that does not mean she never seen one or used one,
The above post is exactly what I was thinking when I read his defense to it, and I said older lady, not old lady and to me an older lady is only about 45 years old it is not like she was some 70 year old that had never seen a computer before, and I do not think it was a slip of the tongue, not when they go on about it for 5 minutes, it is simply just a tactic they use to try to deceive the unknown buyer to purchase something based on deception, hence spend more money than they need to since they work on commission
Yes it is twice as powerfull but to tell someone there are 4 seperate processors when it is actually only one processor that has 4 cores, and to justify the price difference saying 4 processors vs 2 processors
On the laptop you own the fan is on the top left corner with the dvd drive right before it so by saying it is in the upper left corner you pretty much pointed everyone to where the fan is located. Also if your description you said you know its not the HDD but could it be the (smiley face) so you didnt even give a good description to what you ruled out or even what you where asking,
I think they are a joke, I was in the store a few weeks ago helping an older lady choose her first pc and she was asking the people there a simple question about what is quad core. The staff at best buy geek squad counter told her it ment there are 4 seperate processors on the motherboard so a 3ghz actually ment it was 12Ghz so it was twice as powerful as a Dual core 3ghz
A system fan is basicly a fan that is attached to the computer case somewhere, normaly they are at the back of the case or you could have one on the back of the case and one in the front or on the side. if you have one you should be able to notice it rather easy..
I have never seen any and I just looked into it and I could not find anywhere that sold them, as the previous post stated you can get them with LED pre built into them in many different colors and UV
