I have Windows XP installed in my Home PC (Dell Inspiron 530i) and I use MS Office 2003. Please advise if I can use MS Outlook for my Yahoo & Gmail accounts. If yes, how can I configure Outlook?

Launch Outlook and go to Tools>E-mail accounts. Click on 'Add a new mail account' and select POP3 as your server type. In the next screen, you will need to enter your name, email address and login information that you use for your Yahoo/Gmail account. In the server information box enter 'pop.gmail.com' for incoming server and 'smtp.gmail.com' in outgoing server box for Gmail. For Yahoo, enter 'pop.mail.yahoo.com' for incoming and 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' for outgoing server. Now click on the 'More Settings' button and in the pop up box select the 'Outgoing Server' tab. Here, check on the box that says 'My Outgoing server requires authentication'. Next, click on the advanced tab and enter 995 as incoming server and 465 as outgoing server(same for Gmail and Yahoo). Click on ok to close the pop-up box, and then click on 'Test Account Settings'. Once the test is done, finish the new e-mail setup and you can send/receive mails using your Yahoo/Gmail account from Outlook. Note: For Gmail, you need to first login to your account on the browser, go to Settings > Forwarding and POP and enable POP for all mail.
I am interested in buying a low-cost laptop for high speed Internet that provides good battery backup. Would a tablet serve my purpose too? If yes, can it also be used to play PC games?

If your main requirements are high-speed Internet browsing and a good battery backup — you can either get a netbook or a full-fledged notebook, depending upon your budget. Check out the Samsung N150 netbook, which comes with a 10.1-inch display , 1.5Ghz Intel processor, 1GB RAM, 250GB storage and Windows 7 Starter. It offers a battery life of over 7 hours and is priced at just 17,990. If you want a full-fledged notebook, go for the Acer Aspire 5830T. It is powered by Intel Core i3 processor, 2GB RAM, Intel HD 3000 graphics, 500GB storage and has a 15.6-inch display with 6 hours of battery backup for 32,959. A tablet can serve your purpose as well. There are various options available such as Apple's iPad2, Acer Iconia, Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 730 and 750. All of these offer great battery life, access to thousands of applications and superb Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or 3G (select models only). The tablets are available in sizes ranging from 7-inch to 10.1-inch display and are priced between 25,000 (Galaxy Tab P1000) to 46,900 (iPad 2 64GB Wi-Fi +3G variant). You can play a variety of games available through the respective application stores of the tablets, but they will not allow you to play PC games (unless a version of the PC game is available for that tablet). You can also consider Windows 7 tablets like the Acer Iconia that will allow you to play some basic PC games.
