I like Laptop Experts because it focuses on my brand of laptop (Toshiba) AND the answers are easy and straight to the point. None of those long, complicated answers HERE!
I was pleased to know that m solution of getting a cooling pad for my laptop was SMART and recommended by the laptop experts!
PS: I have posted this blog post on my Twitter feed @thepinkc; Stumbled (thepinkc) and I will blog about it at http://www.thepinkc.net on Monday! Look out for the trackback!

I like the laptop experts site because you can apply to be an expert yourself. If I had the time I would do so.

#5 by Jennifer at October 4th, 2008
I like that you can easily ask you own questions if you don’t find the answer you need, and that all the questions are visible to everyone. Alot of sites require a bit of hoop jumping to ask a question that isn’t in the “FAQ” and then you don’t get the benefit of the answers to other people’s questions.
Stumbled
#6 by GeekGirl at October 4th, 2008

I liked that too, Jenn …. you don’t have to sign in to read the whole site, there is Q and A right there on the page for you to browse!
#7 by rachel crisman at October 4th, 2008

I love that you can apply to be a laptop expert; that’s great way to help others out in a structured way, and probably a booster on a resume, too.

I love that you can ask questions about any brand of laptop here. Thank for the chance. I would love to win.
#20 by Kerrie at October 9th, 2008
I like that they break down the questions into different catagories…and I like that they separate the answered from the unanswered, that’s really nice!

#23 by mannequin at October 9th, 2008
I’ll tell you what I like; I like the fact that there are actual answers!! So many times with tech support, we don’t get an answer or the tech support is clueless.
What a find!

My favorite feature about Laptop Experts is the Tips & Tricks section- it’s full of so much useful info. Thanks!
#32 by Diana Corlett at October 10th, 2008
I am thrilled to have found this excellent resource for new laptop users like me. The FAQ section immediately caught my eye. Lots of help in there!

#33 by Sarah at October 10th, 2008
I love that they answer all kinds of questions, from “where can I find xyz driver?” to “what’s the best laptop for domestic use?”
#34 by Junglewife at October 10th, 2008
Wow, what a neat site! Looks like there would be so many options for finding out what I need to know, from such great resources, and easy to find what I am looking for with all the Q&A and very easy to search. I especially like that it’s not just for “geeks” but for average users too!
#35 by Abigail at October 11th, 2008
I like the “What’s in a Word” section. I’m pretty inept when it comes to computers, so it’s nice to have easily understood translations of computer jargon!

#36 by Marjorie at October 11th, 2008
I like that it addresses a range of topics, from problems and repair to buying. I’m getting ready to buy a new laptop in a few months. It’s nice to know there is a resource that will help me pick the right one and maintain it.
#37 by ReinyDey at October 11th, 2008
I like the tabs letting you choose which category you are interested in. Very cool website. Will certainly put it to use soon.

I like the ’search for answers’. I can quickly find what I am looking for, so I don’t have to ask a question that has already been asked before.
#41 by Charlotte at October 12th, 2008
I found a lot of helpful info in the Tips & Tricks section
#42 by Jenny at October 13th, 2008
One question, about how to extend the life of a laptop battery, would have been helpful to me. Like five years ago. Oh well. My mom is enjoying my laptop now, and just keeps it plugged into the wall.
