Review about Toshiba Satellite A70
I purchased this Toshiba Satellite A70 one year later it still works just as great as the day I bought it. It has the powerful P4 chip and a kick-ass ATI chipset and GPU. Many people complain about a heating problem, but the unit has two fans (one for the CPU and one for the GPU) and, if kept clean, cool the laptop sufficiently. At the time it was a relatively powerful system.  Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:32:58 +0200 IBM ThinkPad T60 is the perfect notebook and is the obvious choice of most business professionals. IBM ThinkPad T60 is a thin and light notebook and proves to be the most ideal for traveling businesspersons and professionals. IBM ThinkPad T60p is among the first T series from Lenovo instead of IBM. IBM initiated the ThinkPad name and Lenovo would continue to use the IBM logo for five more years after completion of the deal. It offers the ultimate combination of all necessary features like weight, keyboard, durability, security, broadband connectivity, and performance. Further, the cost is affordable and adds to the features. Features IBM ThinkPad T60p has a sturdy design with sufficient ports. It has a long battery life, offers excellent graphics, and a smooth transition to Windows Vista. Upgraded video card allows smoother functioning. Lenovo ThinkPad T60p supports 1 GB RAM memory and 4 GB RAM maximum memory. Hard drive speed is 7200 RPM and the operating system is Windows XP Professional. This ThinkPad also includes battery and a power adapter and comes with a manufacturer warranty of twelve months. IBM ThinkPad T60p offers the ultimate quality albeit at a high price. Yet, you would not mind paying the price as this ThinkPad proves to be a mobile workstation and offers perfect compatibility with all kinds of sophisticated software. Rather, the cost of your ThinkPad would not prove to be a major factor if you consider its compatibility with such expensive and beneficial software. One of the key features of Lenovo ThinkPad T60p is the possibility to upgrade its RAM to 4GB. Different models of T60p have different configurations of Intel 945GM and 945PM Chipsets. All of these allow the possibility of an upgrade. A physical switch on Lenovo ThinkPad T60 allows you to switch off all radio transmitting devices in your laptop. This increases battery life. Further, it proves helpful while you are working in-flight. Warranty period is only for a year, which is definitely less given the features of T60p and reputation of the company. However, it is possible to increase your warranty period up to five years albeit on payment of extra costs. The Looks on the Exterior IBM ThinkPad T60p has a black plastic lower bezel exterior and bears close similarity to the earlier models in its exterior looks. The upgrades include wider and less coarse cover offering extended durability. It also makes it easier to use for extended periods. The lower portion of LCD is not of plastic and instead is made of magnesium alloy. Although magnesium makes the laptop more brittle, it does prove to be highly heat resistant and lightweight than the normal plastic. The lower part is of titanium, which makes your ThinkPad more resistant and durable. IBM ThinkPad T60p has SerialATA (SATA) drive for speedy transfer of data. It also has an HDD Active Protection System. This mechanism prevents any damage to your hard drive even if you accidentally drop your laptop. This system senses sharp falls and immediately provides a cushion-like support for your hard drive. This protects your data or any physical damages to disk platters. If need be, you can take out the hard drive and connect it to a desktop machine. The optical drive of IBM ThinkPad T60p is modular. You have to disassemble the machine to remove the drive. You would need professional help to do this. You can upgrade this drive to a dual-layer DVD writer or a CDRW/DVD-ROM. Battery Life Manufacturers of IBM ThinkPad T60p claim to offer battery (IBM ASM 92P1128) life of more than six hours and nine hours from a full charge on the six-cell battery and nine-cell battery respectively. However, this is an exaggeration. You are sure to get a good four hours of battery life. You can get extra time if you do not use the CD or DVD drive but it can nowhere be around the claimed nine hours. You can save on battery life by turning off the wireless modem.  Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:31:20 +0200 Not an authoritative answer but I recently read that lithium and NiMHs will both lose charge over time. According to a laptop battery site, these batteries keep a charge for two to three months, slowly losing their charge however.
I found the site and include the info here. Keep in mind that this applies to the much larger, notebook batteries but the advice seems good (except for the uncertain remark. You'd think they'd know by now).
Lithium Ion Batteries (such as the Compaq Presario 2100 Battery uses)
1 to 2 months -- Battery should still have minimal charge to operate the computer
6 to 12 months -- Battery can still be charged
12 months or more -- Uncertain
Batteries may be damaged if stored for prolonged periods with a closed circuit. The environmental temperature also affects the storage life of any battery. Cool environments are best, and are assumed for the above estimates. All storage times are based on storage starting with the battery fully charged.
For example, schools that may not use their laptop computers during the summer should fully charge the batteries, remove them from the computers, and store them in a cool location for the duration of the summer.

 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:45:29 +0200 Design of Dell Inspiron 1100
With a 14.1-inch screen, the Inspiron 1100's case measures 12.9 by 10.8 by 1.7 inches and weighs 7.4 pounds, average for a mainstream notebook. There's also an optional 15-inch display that jacks up size and weight slightly. You won't want to travel a lot with either one, but taking them on occasional jaunts won't do you in, either.
Large cases such as this often house two internal secondary storage drives, such as a floppy and a CD-RW. But the Inspiron 1100 offers just one fixed (that is, not swappable) secondary drive; you'll have to choose from CD, DVD, CD-RW, and DVD/CD-RW drives when you order. In the growing trend toward kissing floppies good-bye, Dell offers an external USB floppy drive only. The Inspiron 1100's extra pounds lie in its huge 14.8V, 6600mAh battery. the cell keeps this system running for four hours, despite its power-draining, desktop Celeron processor. But we're not wild about the loud fan that's needed to cool down this hot processor. The Inspiron 1100's ample case allows room for a wide and firm keyboard, a spacious touchpad, and two big mouse buttons. There's also plenty of space for ports and slots, although the budget-minded Inspiron 1100 includes just the bare minimum. A 56K modem port sits on the right edge, and Ethernet, VGA, S-Video-out, and two USB 2.0 ports are spread out across the back edge. The left edge offers headphone and microphone ports, plus one Type II PC Card slot. The front edge features two speakers that a produce more vibrant sound than that of most mainstream notebooks.
Features of Dell Inspiron 1100The Inspiron 1100's base configuration gives average users just about everything they need for work or play, including a 2GHz desktop Celeron processor; 256MB of fast 266MHz DDR SDRAM; a 14.1-inch screen with a native 1,024x768 (XGA) resolution; a CD drive; and a 20GB, 4,200rpm hard drive. For various prices, you can choose higher-end specs such as a 2.4GHz desktop Pentium 4 CPU; up to 1GB of memory; a DVD, CD-RW, or DVD/CD-RW combo drive; a 40GB, 5,400rpm hard drive; and a 15-inch XGA display. All configurations come with the same graphics chip: a 64BM Intel 845G. Our evaluation system shipped with a 2GHz Celeron processor, 256MB of RAM, a 30GB hard drive, a DVD drive, and a 14.1-inch screen.Battery life of Dell Inspiron 1100With its powerful 14.8V, 6600mAh battery, the Inspiron 1100 had little trouble clobbering the competition in battery life. The Inspiron 1100's four-hour score is the longest battery life we've seen in a Celeron-based system, and it even bested a couple of systems--the new battery-life champs. With the Dell Inspiron 1100, you'll be able to work unplugged without eyeing the power meter every 15 minutes.Battery life (Longer bars indicate better performance)

 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:50:57 +0200 No one can argue that the 12-inch Apple PowerBook G4 isn't attractive -- you get a competitive set of hardware, including a roomy, 80GB hard drive, a single-layer DVD burner, and a DVI connection, as well as an absolutely best-in-class software package. Though we think the 12 inch iBook G4 is the better choice for basic users, we think the 12-inch PowerBook offers a better combination of power, features and battery life for the price than any other Apple laptop. As such, unless you engage in video editing on the fly or have some other essential reason to haul around a 15- or 17-inch display, we recommend the cheaper, more compact 12-inch model to the larger PowerBooks. (Use the money you'll save to buy an LCD monitor to use with your laptop at home or at work.) Design Like the iBook G4, the PowerBook G4 has a comfortable keyboard with rounded keys shaped to fit your fingers; our only gripe is the grossly undersize arrow keypad. The spacious touch pad's two-finger scrolling feature, for scrolling horizontally and vertically, is magical (use it for a few days, and you'll wonder how you ever did without it). The display, which actually measures 12.1-inches, features a standard 1,024x768-pixel native resolution -- not optimal for graphics work but adequate for general use; many 12-inch PowerBook G4 owners use an external display at home or work. We like the laptop's speakers, which hide underneath the central screen hinge yet somehow provide rich, multilayered sound. The 12-inch PowerBook G4 lacks the external multimedia controls found on many other laptops -- that's the price you pay for a streamlined design. A note of caution to those who live in cold climates: the aluminium-alloy wrist rest can feel downright chilly until your typing hands warm it up. Features Like the iBook G4, the PowerBook G4 lacks a true productivity suite, but it ships with a very strong software package. You get the latest version of the terrific Mac OS X, nicknamed Tiger, plus Apple's excellent iLife '05 software bundle for managing photos (iPhoto), videos (iMovie) and music (iTunes). Also included are more professional-grade apps, including Art Directors Toolkit, OmniOutliner and QuickBooks for Mac. We think it's a bit high for the uneven mix of high-end and low-end specs: a 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 512MB of slowish 333MHz memory (upgradable to 1.25GB), an Nvidia GeForce FX Go 5200 graphics chip with 64MB of dedicated VRAM, Airport Extreme 802.11g wireless, a spanking-new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card, and a big 80GB, 5,400rpm hard drive protected by Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor technology, which stops it from spinning when it detects imminent damage. Performance +Review&referrer=) Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:29:21 +0200 The D40 is Nikon's new entry-level digital SLR. the D40 is one of the lowest priced SLRs on the market. Nikon didn't cut a lot of corners to keep the price down, either -- this is a very capable camera. It has a 6 Megapixel CCD, a large and sharp 2.5" LCD display, full manual controls, an elaborate help system, and the kind of performance that you'd expect from a D-SLR. Did I mention that it's also very compact?
Nikon D40 features:
The D40 is sold with a lens (no body only kit yet), and you'll find a brand new second generation 18 - 55 mm lens. Taking the D40's 1.5X focal length conversion into account, the kit lens has the field-of-view of an 27 - 82.5 mm lens. Overall I was pretty happy with this lens, though it has a bit of a problem with purple fringing. I'll have much more on photo quality later in the review. The D40 doesn't come with a memory card, so you'll need to pick one up if you don't have one already. The camera supports both SD and the newer SDHC cards, which currently top out at a whopping 8GB. I don't think you need a card quite that large -- I'd start out with 1GB myself. Spending a little more for a high speed card is a good idea. Nikon came up with a new battery when they created the D40, and it's called the EN-EL9. This battery has 7.4 Wh of energy, which is pretty good these days. How does this translate into battery life? Have a look: The D40 and its new battery turn in above average battery life numbers. I suppose I should mention my usual list of "gotchas" about proprietary batteries like the EN-EL9. First, they're expensive. Secondly, unlike with cameras that use AA batteries, you can't use an off-the-shelf battery when your rechargeable dies. As you can see in the chart above, there's only one camera in this class that uses AAs. When it's time to charge the battery just snap it into the included charger. It takes just ninety minutes to fully charge the EN-EL9. This isn't one of those handy chargers that plugs right into the wall -- you must use a power cable.  Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:04:36 +0200 Good things come in small packages
The Asus Eee PC challenges many conventional assumptions about mobile computing. The daring, diminutive device combines a svelte subnotebook form factor with a unique Linux software platform and a budget-friendly price—factors that could make this unprecedented product a mainstream marvel. Last week, my colleague Jon described the Eee PC as game-changing: a characterization that we will put to the test in this review.
Tech specs
CPU: 900 Mhz Intel Mobile Celeron Video: Intel GMA 900 Display: 7" LCD widescreen at 800x480 Storage: 4GB internal flash OS: Custom Xandros-based Linux RAM: 512MB Optical drive: None Networking: Atheros AR5007EG wireless, 10/100 ethernet First impressions
The most striking characteristic of the Eee PC is its unbelievably small size. At 8.9" x 6.5" x 1.4" and approximately 2.03lb, the Eee delivers serious mobility. When closed, it's approximately the same size as a hardcover book. It's also very easy to tote around while it is open and can be comfortably held in only one hand. The exterior has a glossy, pearl-white finish that picks up fingerprints very easily, but seems a bit more dirt-resistant than the plain white finish of a MacBook. According to Asus, the Eee PC will eventually be available in a range of colors, including pink, green, and black. The Eee battery is a round module that fits into the back underneath the screen between the two hinges. The battery fits tightly with no wiggling and can be removed by sliding two clasps simultaneously. The hinges for the lid are very big and seem sufficiently sturdy. The screen, which takes up only part of the lid, is flanked by two large speakers and is surrounded by a wide bezel. The 4GB Eee has an embedded 0.3 megapixel video camera which is built into the bezel above the screen.
The Eee has several vents on the bottom and one on the side. A panel on the bottom can be removed to provide access to the Eee's RAM, but opening the panel voids the warranty. Intrepid modders have already successfully replaced the built-in 512MB stick with 1GB.
When running, the Eee generates very little fan noise. After several hours of use, the machine gets very warm but can still be used comfortably on a lap. The Eee has a row of LEDs along the front-right side that indicate battery status, drive access, and wireless connectivity.  Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:50:02 +0200 An important note on the e1705 is the fact that the Dell Inspiron 9400 sold via the Dell Business site is the same notebook as the e1705 offered through the Dell Home online store. The only difference is that the Dell e1705 offers Windows Media Center Edition as an OS, along with an external USB TV Tuner option. Prices and offers may vary between each Dell online purchase channel, so you'd be wise to configure and price similar notebooks on each site to see what the better deal is at the time you order.

The Pentium M's tiny profile and better performance/power usage ratio has brought the world of tiny laptops much closer to the mainstream. The VAIO VGN-T140P/L sports a 1.10GHz Pentium M '733' Ultra low voltage processor. Based on a 90nm process, this chip uses a 400Mhz FSB and like all 90nm process Pentium M chips, comes equipped with 2MB of level 2 cache memory. The Pentium M is the fastest currently available in Intel's 'ultra low voltage' mobile line and should provide plenty of grunt for this tiny laptop. Like other Pentium M processors, the clock speed does not truly indicate the amount of work it can do relative to traditional desktop processors, so don't let that scare you off. The Pentium M is the reason that Intel decided to drop the Gigahertz measurements from its processors and switched to a meaningless 'Performance Rating' figure instead. The Intel 855GME chipset provides connectivity with the Centrino architecture. The ICH4-M Southbridge handles the integrated video courtesy of Intel's Extreme Graphics 2 chip, and a fairly standard array of I/O abilities which we'll detail a bit later. As you would expect, it also supports a good set of power saving abilities which work in concert with the processor to save precious battery life, typically by dropping processing speed down substantially when on batteries. More on this later also. The VAIO notebook ships with 512MB of DDR memory, 64MB of which is shared with the onboard video. The memory can be expanded up to 1GB in total, though there is only one SODIMM socket. A smallish 4200RPM 40GB hard drive provides storage. The Intel Extreme Graphics 2 engine provides excellent image quality and DVD playback, along with some (mostly theoretical) 3D support. For older 3D games (from a few years ago) it should be adequate, for current games it is extremely poor. This VAIO is not intended to be a portable gaming machine, so don't even bother trying to use it for that. The Lithium-Ion battery snaps into the rear of the notebook (model VGP-BPS3), and carries a capacity of 7.4V / 6600mAH. It weighs about 0.66 pounds, and according to Sony figures, will offer a run time of about 4-8.5 hours with a full charge.  Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:48:14 +0200 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 specifications

The 350D (available in both black and silver versions) wouldn't be far off from that price point, but now you would be getting even more bang for the buck. A new generation 8.0-megapixel CMOS sensor is the obvious improvement in the 350D, as well as Canon�s renowned DIGIC II image processor. Overall speed has been improved too, including a faster startup time, faster continuous shooting speed (3 FPS), and improved CompactFlash writing speed. One of the main complaints of the 300D was its built quality and the new 350D significantly improved in this aspect as well. Compared to the 300D, the 350D is lighter, smaller, and offers a more robust handling (despite its plastic casing). Other additions include nine new custom functions, selectable metering and AF mode, color space adjustments, custom parameters (for contrast, sharpness, saturation and color tone), Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection, a new battery grip, and many others. Such impressive specs are almost unimaginable a couple of years back.

While lacking some of the bells and whistles of other “multimedia friendly” competitors, its minimalist styling is both sleek and functional. Backed by Compaq's one-year limited hardware warranty, the R3000 series offers a host of configuration options and add-ons. With integrated ATI Radeon 9000 graphics and integrated Broadcom 54G wireless, the R3000 is well-suited for the mobile professional or student who doesn't mind lugging around eight pounds, and the casual gamer who doesn't need the highest settings in the latest games. Its powerful JBL Pro speakers, DVD and CDR/W combo drive and 15.4-inch screen make this an excellent choice for multimedia use as well. At over eight pounds it certainly isn't the most portable laptop available, but the weight compares favorably to competing products. If you're looking for a sturdy laptop that is somewhere between ultra-portable and a desktop replacement, Compaq's R3000 line, while not being flashy or innovative, is a good choice.
  Sat, 14 Jun 2008 04:11:39 +0200 Fujitsu's latest convertible Tablet takes full advantage of Intel's new Centrino technology, and it shows.The new Fujitsu LifeBook T4220 is a travel-friendly, well-rounded convertible Tablet PC that suffers from a few flaws. When it comes to computing horsepower and video quality, the newest addition to the LifeBook line reaps the benefits of Intel's Next-Generation Centrino Processor Technology (codenamed Santa Rosa), but its battery life left us wanting more.
Dressed in a sleek black-and-silver finish, the LifeBook T4220 weighs a manageable 4.3 pounds and is 1.5 inches thick, so you can haul it around without putting too much strain on your back or arms. Beneath the black lid sits a crisp 12.1-inch display with a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (an SXGA+ display is also an option). Viewing angles were good all around on this screen, and color representation was superb. If you'll be using this Tablet outdoors, however, you may want to opt for the daylight-readable screen ,as the standard indoor LCD is difficult to read in direct sunlight.
The display is mounted on a bidirectional swivel mechanism, making it easy to twist the screen in either direction and fold it down for use as a Tablet. You flip the lid latch to secure the screen while in Tablet mode. A built-in sensor automatically adjusts the screen image from portrait to landscape mode, depending on the system's orientation.
A recessed stylus holder and a biometric fingerprint reader sit to the left of the screen; the lower bezel holds an LCD indicator panel and five Tablet function buttons, one of which is used to manually rotate image orientation and two of which are user-programmable. The full-sized keyboard is comfortable with well-spaced keys, and the responsive touchpad sports a scroll button and two mouse controls. Although the plastic black-and-white stylus felt kind of chintzy, it got the job done and worked well with the Active Digitizer screen.
Along the front edge of the keyboard deck are headphone and microphone jacks, a 3-in-1 card reader, and a pair of flat-sounding speakers. The left side houses SmartCard and PC Card slots, a USB port, and a Wi-Fi switch, while the right side holds a modular DVD burner. Three USB ports are positioned along the sides of the notebook, as are Ethernet, modem, and VGA ports. Unfortunately, the T4220 lacks a FireWire and S-Video ports. The 120GB hard drive is protected by an anti-shock mounting mechanism and Fujitsu's 3G Shock Sensor, which retracts the drive's read/write head in the event of a sudden bump or accidental drop. The big news here is Intel's new Centrino architecture and all the features that come along with it, including faster processors, enhanced graphics performance, and 802.11n wireless. Our LifeBook T4220 was equipped with a new 2.2-GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processor (with a front-side bus speed of 800 MHz) and 2GB of DDR2 memory. The T4220 turned in a very respectable PCMark05 score of 4,259, which means it will handle most business applications with aplomb. The LifeBook T4220 is based on the new Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset, which provides enhanced video performance courtesy of Intel's GMA X3100 graphics controller and Clear Video Technology. After firing up our Finding Nemo DVD, we were very impressed with the image quality; the movie looked smooth and clean with no noticeable artifacts, and colors seemed to jump off the screen. With a 3DMark03 score of 1,743, the LifeBook will likely struggle with most high-end 3D games but had no problems with Vista's Aero interface. It's too bad this system doesn't last longer on a charge, however. The LifeBook T4220 conked out after two hours and five minutes on our DVD drain test, which means you should expect about three hours of runtime. This showing was a bit surprising, especially given that Intel's new Dynamic FSB Switching technology is supposed to reduce power consumption and improve battery life by decreasing bus speeds and processor voltage when not needed (such as when playing DVD movies or listening to music). We recommend springing for the $134 six-cell modular-bay battery, which should increase the T4220's endurance to about six hours, according to Fujitsu. Just keep in mind you'll need to pop out the DVD drive to use it. Also part of the new Centrino platform is Intel's Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN, an integrated wireless solution that supports draft-n connectivity. The T4220 turned in very good scores of 18.3 and 14.1 Mbps at 15 and 50 feet, respectively, on our Wi-Fi throughput tests. The system comes with Windows Vista Business Edition, but you can order it with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition instead. Be sure to check back once we get a final-production model in. Despite its underwhelming battery life, the Fujitsu LifeBook T4220 is a solid convertible that gets a sizable performance boost from Intel's newest Centrino processor and graphics technology.

133 To measure mobile application performance and battery life, uses BAPCo's MobileMark 2002. MobileMark measures both application performance and battery life concurrently using a number of popular applications (Microsoft Word 2002, Microsoft Excel 2002, Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, Microsoft Outlook 2002, Netscape Communicator 6.0, WinZip Computing WinZip 8.0, McAfee VirusScan 5.13, Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1, and Macromedia Flash 5.0).  Wed, 11 Jun 2008 04:51:23 +0200 How to extend laptop battery life? Here are some more tips to improve your notebook's battery life:
1. If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the battery pack from the laptop. 2. Do not expose the battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power. 3. Make sure to plug your laptop charger adapter into a UPS and not directly into a power outlet or surge protector. 4. If you have a nickel-metal hydride battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to maximize its capacity to hold a charge. 5. Fully charge new battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. 6. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. 7. Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.
