The number of channels in Comcast and Directv

Or if entertainment, information, and sports are more your thing, check out such Comcast channels as Disney, Biography, The Golf Channel, E!, National Geographic Channel, VH1, and MTV.

Hook up your digital box to your stereo to pump out the jams in digital sound. The 35 pay-per-view channels on cable makes the Comcast Directv comparison even more difficult to make.

You can also pick up on your dish the local channels, too, if you live in or near a major U.S. cities. Wherever you live, you don t need to pay extra for digital sound.

Sports fans may find the Comcast Directv comparison tipping in satellite s favor. Directv has exclusive packages for the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and any other sport under the sun, or dome.

Mobile chipsets and wide screen display for a gaming laptop

Nowadays, no matter what brand or model it is, the best gaming laptop must first and foremost come with Intel Centrino mobile technology. These new chipsets make sure that your notebook doesn t burn through its battery after only a few rounds of Doom III. All the while, this mobile technology maximizes the graphic output, making images and movement appear smooth and crisp, not choppy and blurred.

Of course, to properly appreciate these high-grade visuals, you need a large, potentially wide screen, display. Shoot for upwards of 14 or 15 inches, with wide angles and crystal clear imaging. The extra display size may make your laptop a bit more unwieldy, but you re there to play the computer, not lug it around.
