CMOS battery 
  How long should the CMOS battery (the [usually] coin shaped battery [usually] mounted on the mb) last?

2,5" hdd laptop & Linux 
  I'm looking for a 2,5" sata hdd, for my laptop, and use it with linux distro. I think to buy a standard device (not a ssd) for a size of 500GB.

Are DELL laptops still reliable? 
  Over the years my family members and I used different DELL laptops. Overall they proved to be pretty reliable (though obviously not without problems). With all the turmoil the company is apparently going through, is quality of their products started suffering? Is it no longer a good idea to buy DELL? Or is the answer (as usual) "depends"?... more »
