    Desktop thinks it's a laptop


    After a recent windows update, my desktop computer will not go to sleep. When I click on Power and Sleep settings it shows settings for a laptop. I do I resolve this?

    :)

    Buying a new laptop or desktop for gaming [help]

    I want to buy either a new laptop or a new desktop for gaming. I want to run games smoothly and maybe even use it for some ps2 emulation. Could someone suggest either a laptop or desktop? I heard Alienware is expensive and over-rated. I was also told Sager laptops are good for gaming. I have about $1000-$1500 to spend on a new machine. Initially I was going to get a laptop but it seems like I would be able to get a more powerful desktop for the same price or less. Please advise. Please suggest a model/brand [desktop/laptop] that I could purchase because I don't think I know enough about computers to build one from scratch.
