Does anyone know the latest and greatest upgrades and drivers for the M6811?

Does anyone know where I can get the drivers for a Toshiba Portege 7100? The Toshiba site doesn't seem to list them anywhere. Thanks, John

Can you install a Turion ML-40 in an Emachines M68xx laptop?

Has anyone sent their lappy back to emachines for the cracked hinges/flickering screen issue? I sent my today and was wondering how long I should expect it to be gone. They told me 3 days for shipping each way and 5 days to fix the problem, for a total of 11 days. I had heard in the past that...

You could pull the HD out of the lappy and put it in an external enclosure. You'd be able to hook that sucker up to another PC and pull any files you need off the HD before you reformat it.

Can someone point me to the latest drivers for the M6811?

I picked up a 802.11b wireless router for $20 after rebates at Best Buy a little while ago. Best Buy and various office supply and computer hardware stores have rebates for their routers all the time. The one I bought was a Dlink, but hey, it's only for my one laptop at my home. I don't need...

My M6811 is one tough little laptop! I was in a car accident this past weekend and my GMC Jimmy rolled over. I had my laptop in the car, nestled in my Targus backpack, and it was thrown about 15 feet from the car. I thought for sure that it would never boot again, but there are no problems...

Where can I get the most recent drivers for the M6811? Video? Motherboard and chipset? Everything and anything else?

I wonder if you can use Gateway's update software to update drivers for the emachines M68xx?

I don't think you're going to get a fast turnaround AND the credit. Either you go with emachines and get the fast turn around or you go with Best Buy and lose the laptop for a month or more.

I'm looking into buying an MP3 player. I've noticed a lot of people bashing the ipod, but I can't figure out why. The DMC just mentioned is the same price as the ipod, but everyone talks about how they're so overpriced. The ipod offers more features and is much slicker looking. So, it's HD...

Has anyone used the 101 or 201 models? I want to get one, my wife is set on it, but I want to know if they're any good from someone who actually has one.

I've got an M6811 with SP2 and I don't have any problems at all. It could be that you ghosted from your M6805. Theoretically they should have the same software, but who knows. I had a cracked hinge on my M6805 and traded it in for the M6811. I know when I had my M6805 it came with a trail...

I paid more for mine, but it works great. I got it at www.oempcworld.com
