Old laptop to new laptop?
| # | Post |

| 1 | I am going to replace my old slow laptop. How can I transfer all of my shortcuts, preferences, favourite sites, contacts etc from my old laptop to my new laptop? Thank you sue62 - 2021-01-05 10:44:00 |
| 2 | Which web browser are you using? If your browser supports it the easiest option is to sign in and enable sync on the old laptop then sign in and enable sync on the new one. Windows preferences are easy to set up again from scratch. Contacts will depend on which contacts app you're using. vtecintegra - 2021-01-05 11:20:00 |
| 3 | Have a look for a laptop at www.pbtech.co.nz their nearest store to you is in Tauranga. exwesty - 2021-01-05 11:25:00 |

| 7 | Watch out. If you choose the wrong new laptop it could end up no faster than what you have. People assume new = fast, that's not true, or they end up just as slow after a short period. It all depends on the specs. Have you thought about revamping the laptop you have? SSD, more ram, fresh install etc?

| 8 | pbtech, will see you right though, surely. I think 'fast' starts at about $1500 upwards in laptops. Edited by muppet_slayer at 12:56 pm, Tue 5 Jan muppet_slayer - 2021-01-05 12:55:00 |

Haha. A quick Google tells me it's a Pentium 4 . No fresh install is going to speed that up. nice_lady - 2021-01-05 13:47:00 |
| 11 | A 6 year old i3 machine? When you say 'slow' - slow doing what? Starting up, browsing, doing app development, converting videos .... As noted above, new machines also go faster as they have new installations without (6?) years of left overs. Will you reinstall windows to sell? soundsgood - 2021-01-05 16:03:00 |
| 12 | Several different spec sheets for that device. nice_lady - 2021-01-05 16:36:00 |

A fresh install would cure that, but not a fresh install of windows. There are other operating systems which are less resource intensive. However if one doesn't know anything at all about computers, it might be a bit of a jump. tygertung - 2021-01-05 16:49:00 |

Strange it was first released 2013 with a 2.6 GHz Core i5 3230M from my quick look for NP270E5E. There was a Pentium version, a 2117U (U for ULV, ultra low power chip), but that's no P4, it's an Ivy bridge gen Pentium, a lower power consumption version of the same gen i3 built for the mobile market.

| 15 | Ah I see I read the spec wrong from Google. It says Intel pentium 4 Gb ram lol. Tricked. https://trademe.tmcdn.co.nz/photoserver/full/1463971435.jpg nice_lady - 2021-01-06 04:15:00 |

Gee... you lot are a bunch of kill joys !! the OP wants a new bright & shiny laptop and the old one being "slow" is the best argument going to justify the purchase... then you "rotten lot" come along and talk the op out of it with "technical stuff" !!!!! No new car saleman will talk you out of the purchase of a new car because a couple hundred dollars of repairs etc will get the old one back up and running !! onl_148 - 2021-01-06 11:41:00 |

| 21 | It can be difficult to know where the things you are using are stored in this present day and age. Some things are "In the cloud" which means you can access them from any laptop / phone / desktop anywhere in the world and they will look the same. Those kinds of things don't require any work by you to get them the way you want them when you power up your new laptop and log into your account. Key advice is do not sell your old laptop until you have the new one. Then you can see what you are missing. bit - 2021-01-06 22:25:00 |

Google is a company. You don't use 'plain old Google' you use one or more than one of their products: Chrome, Gmail, Google Photos, Google xxx etc etc etc. nice_lady - 2021-01-07 04:29:00 |
