Monitor Screen Display
I want to use my laptop for daily use as my desktop is old and very slow but I prefer the monitor on my desktop. I can connect the laptop to my monitor with no problem, however; it displays in the landscape wide format rather than the monitor's full 4:3 type size. Is there any way to change this.

Tax refund
Hello, First of all, to contextualize the situation, I want to buy a laptop from the US and I am currently a full time international student in the UK.

However I am seriously contemplating an ipod & speaker dock for my living room as it's a lot smaller than the existing hifi &…
