PostHeaderIcon How old should children be to get their own laptops?

My daughters are turning 15, and we considered getting them each a laptop for their birthdays, but agreed it was way to expensive. We have to do big things like that x4 every time, so we’ll be waiting a little longer.

My niece is heading off to college in the fall and is receiving her first laptop in May at her high school graduation, since she’ll need one for college. She told me it was highly uncommon for teens to receive their first laptop this late.

What age should children get their own laptops?

I got my first laptop when I was 18 as a high school graduation gift. That was about 6 and a half years ago and most of my friends at that point were in the same situation but it’s amazing how much things change in 6 and a half years. With work loads becoming heavier and heavier in high school I can see getting a 16 or 17 year old their own computer (whether it’s a laptop or a desktop should be their choice pending on if they can pay for at least half of it) even a 15 year old I can see needing a computer of their own. BUT any younger than that a family used computer should be just fine. Like cell phones, computers are NOT toys they are tools and should be used as such.

PostHeaderIcon How do I connect 2 laptops to the internet with a Linksys Router?

Hi I need help.

There are 2 laptops I want to connect to the internet.

I have a Linksys Broadband Router and would like to connect them with the internet cords.

Neither laptop connects to the internet when I do this. What do I do?

Thanks for the info and I really would like to get this working!

Hello,
Im assuming you are talking about connecting both laptops by cable , not connecting them wirelessly, as you said "connect them with the internet CORDS". If you are talking about connecting via cable you will need a ethernet cable (sometimes known as RJ45), plug one end into laptop and other into router. still no internet?? Did you have internet working on this router before hand??? If your internet is ADSl (telephone based) make sure you have broadband filters on all telephones. Check your service provider, if ADSl you get problems with telephone companies upgrading/fixing lines, you will get a shortage.

I want a laptops which has minimum 2 GB ram and not more than 13 inch screen . And my budget is Rs. 30000. It should have good sound quality and picture quality , also a good battery back up.

They run about 800 US dollars, come standard with 4gb of RAM, have a 13 inch screen, come with Windows 7 (which I love) and I got and my NW series has great screen and sound quality. I imagine the Y series would be similar. Happy shopping!

There are 2 ways.

You can get a wireless router and connect them both to the router.
