I am new to this laptop..I am so used to desktops..I don't really see the difference other than the ability to carry it around. So I already got anti-virus and what I feel are the necessary programs (my firefox, a couple of games, etc) Can anyone suggest any other programs I should have for my laptop?

You need some programs like Photoshop, office, PDF viewer+creator recoveries, plugins of browser. Flash Players, and some good type of firewall along with drivers of support of your operating system.

I already have most of that..some of that was already in the computer..the only thing I am looking for now is a photo/video editor that actually works..

If it works on a desktop it should work on a laptop.

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to listen to music and watch movies, you'll need a media player. And if you like doing fun things with photos, you might want a good photo editor. That's all I use my laptop for. There are all sorts of other options, like making your own movies, or if you want to do a lot of video chatting, you will need stuff for that, too.

It wasn't new when I got it..it belonged to a person who didn't even use the media player so I already have my music situation in order. I wanted to find a program where I could download music safely and I finally found one...I spent a lot of time just making it my own..a photo editor..hmm..I didn't think of that..in fact, I need to go to my photobucket account and see what's there..thanks so much for reminding me!

it all depends on your needs.if you use it for work,office programs are necessary,always have a back-up of your files just incase some tragic disaster happen with your laptop.

A good registry cleaner, that is a must. And a nice player for movies and another one for music. If you like to edit pictures then there are some nice free programs like Photoscape or Gimp. And that`s it.

I will suggest you some softwares like Photoshop,dream weaver,GOM player,winrar. These are the mostly used software used to meet the purposes of the people. Most of the youth including me just uses it. Photoshop used for editing photos, Dream weaver for web designing, GOM player which supports most of the audio and video formats, Winrar which is used to open rar as well other formats. I hope this will be very informative to you.
