Hi
I will be soon getting a new laptop
http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_...657/version.asp
And I was wondering if there is a special cable and software I could buy to transfer all my data (files, movies music etc.) from this computer to my new one.
Also is the computer I am getting just as good as XBOX360 or PS3 graphics
Many thanks

There are data transfer cables but your easiest way would probably be through a router or through a external HD. You can transfer over all files but you'll need to reinstall programs.

I'm assuming in that seening your getting a new laptop it will have vista on it. I'm not sure if setting up the network is the same as xp.
So that may change the stragie of what I'm suggesting.
Anyway you can build{or buy} a crossover cable. Plug straight in box to eh eh box and network and transfer files that way. Or run winvnc and you can setup your laptop remotely.

External enclosure will probably be the easiest.
