Yes, you can use anything else on the other end - Mac, PC, Netbook, etc... You just need internet access - preferably broadband. You dont need to "buy" anything else - just signup for free on Skype with either the ASUS videophone or with another device or by going to http://skype.com. You can use your skype account on any device that has the skype software.

Hi Owen, Of course you can. We don't have anything proprietary on the design of this computer that will prevent it from being compatible it other replacement parts. Please keep in mind though that warranty will not apply to any parts that you replace and depending on what kind of work you do to the unit, may void the warranty completely as well. Standard replacements done properly should be okay. Please contact us at http://avatargamingpc.com/support if you have any further questions. Hope that helps!

No, I am buyer like you are. But I believe you can buy any hardware on line at Amazon. Also try outside sellers. Was that helpful? RW

Yes. I use it this way at home. One PC is a laptop on a docking station and the other is a desktop. Works great

Yes, of course. You can download anything. It might as well be called a laptop. Great product! -Eddie

We did this with a PC, and it works great, I'm not certain about laptop, though I can't see why it wouldn't work, probably would depend on the size of your processor. We have i5

I know you can use either one, but have never tried it using parts of both, sorry

Yes, you can use just the external monitor.. or leave the laptop monitor open for dual monitors. I've been doing both.

You have to select the computer based on the OS as I did. I needed an XP OS, so that is what I bought and was specified. They sell laptops with all kinds of different Operating Systems. BTW, I recommend the seller and the laptops I bought from them (2).

Hey,I'm guessing that you can. My laptop came with 1GB of RAM, two 512MB chips. When I got this I took out one of the 512MB chips and put the 2GB one in its place, so my laptop currently has 2.5GB of RAM. Did that a few months ago and I've had no issues at all so far. If you can put a 2GB chip in one then you would be able to put one in the other slot as well. A 32-bit system won't recognize more than 4GB of RAM anyway so yh, I think you can put two in. I'm planning on getting another one soon to give my system 4GB. :) Hope that answers your question...and I hope I wasn't too long Hey,I'm guessing that you can.

Yes, super easy to do. If you haven't bought the laptop yet, I would recommend something else.

No sorry it can't be used that way , I bought one thinking it could as well. These are good for just linking computers or printers together.

You can use it as you would any other desktop. The only issue would be if you want dual monitors you would need a new graphics card.

Yes, You could install 2 computers as a second time without having any problems. Thanks N Tran

I do not remember seeing that option while ordering. I would contact the manufacturer to see if it's available for the laptop.

The short answer is yes, you can. My question to you is, what's your reason or objective, for wanting to? I'm assuming that you're referring to a pc other than the Trio, correct? Please advise. Thanks
