Is this better? Ple ase do not use abbreviations, as I don't know what they mean.

Not really. Is that the same price?
It's lacking a graphics card which means it will completely suck for gaming. Where are you finding these bad rigs? lol.

I installed Debian.
It's just bash. I want KDE. What do I do?

Looks like your screen is broken. Does is it like this as soon as you boot?

Yeah...

[dargereldren]

Doesn't appear to be a driver problem, but that's a good place to start.
I'm going to need the first tab as well so I know what OS you are running. Thanks.

My computer specs :D

I'm looking for a laptop that is compatible with a Hackintosh (I know most hardware is with all the patches and all), what I mean is things that work well with Hackintosh by default like intel CPU, nVidia graphics, etc.  Hoping for decent specs, maybe some gaming but meh (highest thing I'll probably run is Skyrim, and that runs on a Radeon HD 4550 512 MB, which is pretty low end.)

Price range is HOPEFULLY under $550, but I can go up to $600.  I would like it MUCH more if it was under $550 (or 550 on the dot).

Edit: List edition
MUST HAVE;
-Hackintosh Compatible Mobo
-Under 600.

Like to have;
-Intel CPU
-nVidia Graphics
-Under 550.
-Webcam

Doesn't matter;
-Everything else.

Sound card is stuff or wires are stuff.

Also, check your drivers.

That reminded me that my monitor has speakers. I completely forgot, not that I need them, but I guess it's useful to know. :p
On Topic: This may be a silly question, but did you plug it in correctly?
