Selecting the perfect Laptop

Selecting the perfect Laptop

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the Hp laptop battery   First post by: batterystores#ca

.Buying a new laptop is not child’s play. Since a heavy investment is at stake when purchasing a portable computer, the selection process is usually fraught with queries. Should it be a Mac or a Dell? Which operating system is the best? Which laptop is the trendiest?

Yet what is largely ignored during this selection dilemma is that the laptop should be chosen according to a user’s specific needs. Different users have different needs according to their professions and interests and luckily the diversity of laptops available in the market caters to these varying demands.

Students

The trend of students using laptops in class hasn’t really caught up in Pakistan. However, a student without a laptop is like Picasso without his paintbrush; taking down lecture notes on paper is just not easy and fast enough.

Students basically require a laptop that is cheap, lightweight and capable of all the essentials like Internet, word processing and video chat. A netbook is a good option for students, which is basically designed to only offer bare essential functions — the Intel Atom processor of the machine is only capable of supporting Internet surfing, document editing and basic media playback. However, the upside of an underpowered machine is a rather long battery life — 6 cell batteries gives around 4 to 5 hours of uptime.

The smaller screen size may put off some users but for a nominal budget, the mini, with ample hard drive space and an excellent keyboard, is not a disappointment.

Currently the most popular netbook in Pakistan is the HP Mini 110-371. Let’s shed light at some of the important features on this computer:

1.66 Ghz Intel Atom processor

1 Gb of RAM

320 GB Hard Drive

10.1” Truelight display

Out of the box genuine Windows 7 starter

Lan, WIFI, Cam, Card reader and Bluetooth,

6 cell battery such as Hp F4098A battery, Hp F4809A battery, Hp F4812A battery, Hp 319411-001 battery, Compaq Presario 2100 battery(compaq 2100 battery), Compaq Presario 2500 battery(compaq 2500 battery), Compaq Presario NX9010 battery, Compaq Presario NX9000 battery

Price: PKR 28,500 approx

Students with a higher budget and higher computing needs, should take a look at the HP DV4 3170Tx. While staying true to the cause (portable, lightweight), the DV4 offers additional features for students seeking entertainment.

Professionals

Professionals, who work in offices, spend 6 to 8 hours daily in front of their computers. Their work typically ranges from heavy number crunching, excel calculations to coding applications to making business proposals etc. The laptops for this category need to be top-notch in performance and reliability. HP Probook 4530s serves these needs very well. A quick rundown on the laptop’s features:

Intel Core i3 2nd Generation 2.3Ghz

4 GB RAM

320 GB hard drive

15.6 “ HD ANTI GLARE display

Out of the box genuine Windows 7 Home Premium

Cam, Wifi, Bluetooth, Card reader, Fingerprint security

Price: PKR 43,500 Approx

The most important feature of this laptop is its anti-glare display; this means there is no reflection in the screen even if the brightness of the display screen is set to minimum. This means no pressure on the eyes in long sittings in front of the screen. The widescreen also gives the illusion of a large, spacious desktop workspace which makes longer sittings more comfortable. Packed with a powerful processor, ample RAM and hard drive space and genuine Windows 7; you cannot expect to find a better machine for the price of the sleek and smart Probook 4530s.

Designers

Be it graphic designers, animation artists or professional photographers, working with high definition videos or photographs is the most demanding and resource-intensive task for a laptop. Requirements are extremely high, including massive hard drive space, dedicated and high performance graphics and usually a large screen size for a bigger workspace. Apple seems to have the best solution in the form of its Macbook Pro series. The top features at a glance:

2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

15” or 17” HD display ( glossy or antiglare )

500gb to 750gb hard drive space

4 GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M with automatic graphics switching

Long battery life, immaculate build quality

Supports Final Cut Pro

Price: 173,000 to 225,000 PKR Approx

Extremely heavy on the budget yet totally worth it, the Apple Macbook Pro is the first choice for graphic intensive work around the world. Another reason to get a Macbook Pro would be Final Cut Pro — the most popular multimedia editing software which only works on a Mac environment. Automatic graphics switching powers on the AMD Radeon graphics card whenever the laptop detects some graphic intensive task ensuring top performance every time. With its unique uni-body design and multi-touch trackpad, the Macbook is hard to beat.

Gamers

While serious gamers would prefer desktop machines due to flexibility and customisation options with components, some gaming laptops have been introduced in recent years which are worth buying. The Alienware series namely has made great strides with delivering a rich high-end 3D gaming experience. The Alienware Model M17XR3 comprises:

Core I7 2.20GHz turbo upto 3.30GHz

6 GB RAM

Hard Drive 750GB-7200RPM SATA

Graphics Display 1GB AMD6870 DDR5

17” HD LED Display

9 cell battery

Price: PKR 189,000 Approx

The laptop does cough and sputter when trying to run heavy games on battery power, but plug it in and it will roar like a beast. What’s surprising is the fact that it remains surprisingly quiet while running; it has no loud cooling fan noise and a superb battery life. Alienware is a machine with great aesthetic appeal; one look at it and you would want one right away.

The Dell Inspiron Duo is an impressive sight. It’s not often that we’re this enamored by a device’s physical design, but the Dell Inspiron Duo simply does it for us. The machine is a feat of engineering, and it really redefines the convertible laptop segment. This 10.1″ machine is part netbook, part tablet, but unlike many rivals, it doesn’t compromise much in terms or portability and form factor to be both. When you open up the package, it looks like a Mini 10 or any other 10″ netbook.

Product Features:

1.    1.5 GHz Intel Atom dual-core N550 processor

2.    2GB, DDR3, 800MHz, 1 DIMM

3.    320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive

4.    10.1″ Widescreen HD (1366X768) Multi-Touch Display, Integrated Intel NM10 Express graphics

Switch seamlessly from tablet to laptop with the flip-hinge design. Watch the media in the way we want with Flash-enabled visuals. Transform the tablet into a digital frame, clock or music player with the optional Inspiron duo Audio Station.

Color and quality:

Get the tablet in Foggy Night Black, Fastback Red or Marlin Blue. The main interface on this one pulls in thumbnails of your locally stored video, but also recent rentals from Cinema Now. The player is basically a skinned version of Windows Media Player. True theater quality brightens the image.

App:

While a 1080p clip played smoothly within the app, we preferred WMP for speed reasons, which we will be getting to momentarily. Have music app, two built in speakers. Facebook and Flicker accounts right from the interface.

Battery:

Regarding its power, it has 29W per hr 4 cell batteries like Dell HP297 battery, dell GW240 battery, dell RN873 battery, dell XR693 battery, dell 0XR693 battery, dell 312-0625 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 8U443 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 312-0058 battery, captive factory replaceable up to 3 hours and 57 minutes and 6 of battery life. Ultimately this could be Duo’s generation two PC.

Dell XPS 14 review

Dell XPS 14 review

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery   First post by: batterystores#ca

When Dell told us of its plans to revive its tried and true XPS laptop line we were pretty darn excited. With so much brand dilution in the past few years -- there's been the Adamo XPS and the Studio XPS -- the products have noticeably strayed from providing the rock solid gaming and multimedia experience they were once known for. There's a reason XPS stands for Xtreme Performance System, right?! The new line, which includes 14-, 15-, 17-inch systems, has all the ingredients to set it back on track -- including Core i5 / i7 processors, NVIDIA GeForce 400M graphics with Optimus, JBL speakers, a backlit keyboard, an HD webcam and a solid aluminum lid – but has Dell succeeded in creating a well-rounded multimedia machine? And does it rival our oh-so-adored HP Envy line? We've spent the last week using the more mobile $899 XPS 14, so read on to find out in our full review!

The Dell XPS 14's 2.53GHz Core i5 460M processor and 4GB of DDR3 RAM didn't leave us with any performance complaints. Our typical day-to-day activities, which included simultaneously surfing the web with over ten tabs open in Firefox, checking Twitter via TweetDeck, chatting in Trillian, writing in Microsoft Word 2010 Starter, and light photo editing using Gimp, all went off without a hitch. The 500GB 7,200rpm hard drive was also quick to open applications, but it appears that you can easily swap it out for a faster SSD if that's your wont.

	PCMarkVantage	3DMark06	Battery Life
Dell XPS 14 (Core i5-460M, NVIDIA 420M)	5796	6827 / 1955	2:58
HP Envy 14 (Core i5-450M, ATI HD 5650)	6038	6899/1928	3:51
Sony VAIO Z (Core i5-450M, NVIDIA 330M)	9949	6193	4:25
ASUS U33Jc (Core i3-370M, NVIDIA 310M)	5574	1860/3403	5:10
Toshiba Portege R705 (Intel Core i3-350M)	5024	1759	4:25

Being one of the first laptops to enter our "lab" with NVIDIA's newest GeForce 400M graphics cards, we were pretty eager to see how this guy fared against older systems and just how well it could power through some of our favorite games. As you can see in the chart above, the GeForce GT 420M card scored noticeably higher on 3DMark06, which just tests graphics, than the other systems we've reviewed with the previous generation GT 300M cards. However, it didn't score as high as the Envy 14's ATI HD 5650 GPU. Nevertheless, the GT 420M card blew through Batman: Arkham Asylum at 30fps and Shattered Horizon at 42fps. Our new favorite title – Mafia II – looked glorious on the screen and we were crusin' in our Smith Custom at 42fps and shooting our MP40 at 34fps. Obviously, the card was also able handle both 720p and 1080p video flawlessly.

To be honest, we expected the Dell XPS 14 to last longer on a charge. On our video rundown test, which loops the same video at 65 percent brightness, the six-cell 56Wh battery such as Dell Inspiron 1720 battery, dell Inspiron 1525 battery, dell Inspiron 1526 battery, dell Inspiron 1300 battery, dell Inspiron B120 battery, dell Inspiron 1200 battery, dell G9812 battery, dell Inspiron 1420 battery, dell Inspiron 5150 battery, dell Inspiron 5160 battery with the GPU off lasted just shy of three hours. During regular use, we got closer to four hours before we had to scour around for an outlet. There are certainly other laptops with similar parts that last longer (eh hem, Envy 14!), and given the fact that Dell went with Optimus, it's a bit puzzling why the system didn't actually have better endurance. Dell does offer a nine-cell 92Wh battery for the XPS 14 for an extra $40, but, of course, that will add a bit more weight to the chassis.

Like most of Dell's recent machines, the XPS 14 boots to a very clean desktop with just Dell's dock centered at the top of the screen. As for deleteware, we're happy to say we didn't find all that much of it hiding within the Start menu. Dell does throw on Skype, CyberLink PowerDVD, Roxio Easy CD and DVD and McAfee, but there were no signs of website shortcuts disguised as programs!

Without a doubt, the Dell XPS 14 packs some extremely attractive features: the system's JBL speakers are some of the best ever put into a laptop, its Core i5 processor combined with NVIDIA GeForce GT400M provides seriously solid gaming and performance muscle, and its HD webcam captures crisp video and pictures. When you consider you get all that for $899 it sounds rather amazing, but it's far from a perfect system – it's chunkier than the others out there, doesn't top the style charts, and its standard battery is gonna keep you close to a wall. If you're after a better combo of beauty and brawns, we have to say the $999 HP Envy 14 or $1,299 Envy 17 are your best bets, but the XPS certainly has enough going for it to make it worthy of its moniker.

Dell Inspiron R refreshed with removable lids

Dell Inspiron R refreshed with removable lids

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery   First post by: batterystores#ca

We'll be honest, we've never been the biggest fans of Dell's colorful, patterned lids -- not because some of them are pretty ugly, but because once you choose one hue, you're stuck with it forever (or at least until you need a new laptop). Well, Dell's finally solved that piece of the puzzle with its new Inspiron R series -- the 14-, 15.6- and 17.3-inch laptops all have swappable lids. Yep, it's sort of like those interchangeable Swatch watch faces from the 90s -- you can snap off the standard black cover, buy a new one for $39.99, and latch it right on. But that's not all Dell's changed with its mainstream laptops -- the rigs now have new chiclet keyboards, HD webcams, and a design that's similar to the new XPS line.

For a budget system -- the 15R starts at $529.99 -- they actually feel pretty solid and the internal organs fit the same description. All three of the machines can be configured with brand new Sandy Bridge Core i3, i5, and i7 processors, Blu-ray drives, up to 8GB of RAM, six or nine-cell batteries like dell 1G222 battery, dell BAT3151L8 battery, dell Latitude X300 battery, dell W0465 battery, dell Inspiron 2000 battery, dell Latitude LS battery, dell 2834T battery, dell 4834T battery, dell Inspiron 1520 battery, dell Inspiron 1521 battery, and USB 3.0 ports. Dell didn't forget about the graphics either -- the 14 will be available with AMD Radeon HD 6000M options, while the 15 and 17 grab a hold of NVIDIA's GeForce GT525. All three models should be up for order today on Dell's website with them heading to retailers later this spring. Hit the break for the full PR / specs and don't forget to check out the hands-on shots on your way.

Dell Axim X30

Dell Axim X30

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery   First post by: batterystores#ca

Dell's Axim X5 PDA, launched almost 18 months ago, made the price of a Pocket PC affordable. The X3 introduced a slimline design, and now the X30 Wireless adds the latest technology.

The X30 looks identical to the X3, but a major difference is that it's powered by Intel's latest XScale PXA270 processor. This is the first embedded CPU to incorporate the Wireless MMX (WMMX) instruction set, designed to improve multimedia, 3D and encryption/decryption performance.

Our top-of-the-range review model had a 624MHz chip, but an entry-level 400MHz non-WMMX PXA255 machine and mid-range 312MHz PXA270 system are also available.

The PDA is very responsive, with little lag when using the on-screen character recognition, and video playback is smooth. The screen is sharp and bright, and almost readable in strong sunlight. This said, the slim but uninspiring slab-like design offers no concessions for left-handed users - the asymmetric casing is uncomfortable to hold and the jog wheel is in an awkward position. Right-handers will find it much more usable.

The system includes both Wifi (802.11b) and Bluetooth, and you can manage the former with the Dell Wlan utility or the free Odyssey client - we found Odyssey slightly easier. There's a dedicated button on the front panel for disabling the wireless functions, in addition to the usual four navigation buttons and four-way control paddle.

The X30 Wireless comes with a USB docking cradle (easy to slot the X30 into, but not quite as easy to remove it) and a USB sync cable. There's space in the dock for charging a spare battery like dell Inspiron E1505 battery, dell Inspiron 1501 battery, dell GD761 battery, dell KD476 battery, dell TD347 battery, dell Inspiron 1000 battery, dell Inspiron 2200 battery, dell 312-0292 battery, dell INSPIRON 2600 battery, dell INSPIRON 2650 battery.

At this price and with this processor, the X30 Wireless is a bargain and a welcome addition to Dell's range of Pocket PCs.

Dell Inspiron 8200

Dell Inspiron 8200

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist
of the dell laptop battery   First post by: batterystores#ca

If you demand power and have cash to spare, there really is no need to buy a traditional PC any more, as a suitably equipped notebook like this one from Dell will do just fine.

Inside is Intel's new mobile processor, the Pentium 4-M, which runs at an astonishing 1.7GHz. This is very similar to the desktop version of the Pentium 4, although it consumes less power.

Add nVidia's new graphics chip for notebooks, the GeForce 4 Go with 64Mb of dedicated memory, and you've got a seriously powerful, transportable games machine. Also inside is 256Mb of fast DDR memory and a 40Gb hard disk.

Although a bulky beast weighing 3.7kg, what you lose in portability is gained in features. Dell has made full use of the notebook's mammoth proportions to pack in everything you'd expect from a high-end desktop PC.

The 8200 houses both a combined CD-RW/DVD drive and floppy drive. Situated at the front, the floppy drive can easily be removed and replaced with an Iomega Zip drive, a second hard disk or a second battery such as dell Latitude D830 battery, dell MM165 battery, dell YD626 battery, dell 312-0393 battery, dell Latitude D800 battery, dell Inspiron 8500 battery, dell 8N544 battery, Dell Precision M60 battery, dell Inspiron 8600 battery, dell Inspiron 6400 battery.

The 15in screen displays its best picture at a resolution of 1,600 x 1,200. While some may like this, we found the combination of high resolution on a screen this size to be just a little too much for our eyes. Text was too small to read comfortably and everything seemed a little cramped.

You can run the display at lower resolutions but, although the image is pleasant enough, it appears slightly blurred.

The keyboard is solid and responsive, and the keys are large enough to use for touch-typing. To control the mouse pointer, Dell has integrated both a trackpoint and the more common touchpad. You can disable either or both in the Windows Control Panel.

The Inspiron can be connected to just about anything, as the list of ports is comprehensive. Inside the chassis is a wireless network card which gives you the potential to connect to wireless networks at high speeds. In practice, most of us are unlikely to use it at home but it's a welcome addition nevertheless.

The software package is also impressive, and Dell has added a pre-loaded copy of Microsoft's Office XP Small Business Edition to the additional Windows XP Home Edition operating system.

So far, it's very impressive stuff but there's a price to pay for power: battery life. The Inspiron lasted for one hour 32 minutes in our tests, which is pretty poor for a notebook of this size. In fact, that's 33 minutes less than its predecessor, the 8100.

For many, this won't matter as the 8200 is so bulky you're unlikely to be transporting it away from a power socket for very long, but it is something to be aware of.

The Inspiron is undoubtedly expensive but it offers pretty good value for money considering its features and generous software package. Whether it would make a good purchase depends on whether you need all that speed.

Price: £2,407
