Apple has the eyes of the majority of users to establish a brand
identity, and so far no other one company can do this. However, although
the part of Apple's reputation from the former charismatic leader,
Steve - Steve Jobs and the faithful of the fruit powder groups, but
Apple products are still synonymous with high-quality, high-end
equipment, and sufficiently cool.
It is easy to explain why this is. In the field of PC, relative to
the same type of products produced by Dell and Hewlett-Packard, Apple
aluminum Mac computers is undoubtedly in the field of "beauty queen".
Smart phones and tablet PCs on the market, all other manufacturers have
the crazy model of Apple's product design philosophy, the products are
almost similar to Apple. Apple's products have been proven to be
attractive enough, so the company's chief designer, Jonathan - Ivor
(Jonathan Ive) will get so many design awards. Outstanding contributions
to the industry as a whole, Ivor and even the Queen of England
knighted.
So glamorous design is often passed to the people of such a concept -
Apple's products have higher quality than other competitors. In fact,
the long-term industry brand monitoring organization BrandIndex found at
the end of last year, the consumer is very high awareness of Apple
regularly releases brand index rankings, its score of 76 (out of 100).
The company's iPod scores 73, iPad score 69, the iPhone is 65, while
only 61 Mac computers.
The above assessment of the real line with the actual? Apple really
is the production company of the most high-end product it? Is simply not
true.
Of course, this argument completely on the technical experts is not
news, because they are concerned about this industry has for many years.
Corporate executives responsible for IT procurement have always thought
that if they choose a PC computer equipped with Microsoft Windows
operating system, will get more benefits, but now there is a growing
number of so-called "mainstream" consumers go to the Mac, the iPhone and
the iPad up. Obviously, these people think that Apple products are the
best in quality and value.
Although the quality and value is a subjective evaluation criteria,
in order to objectively evaluate whether consumers will really be worth
but it is very difficult to spend so much money to buy Apple products.
To iMac example, it is a popular one apples to the product line is
priced at $ 1199 onwards. Consumers to buy, you will be able to get Mac
OS X and 21.5 inches of screen. In addition, a 5GHz quad-core processor
and 500GB hard drive for this price looks value.
Only one problem: Dell in price on an absolute advantage. One machine
in Dell products priced at just $ 850 can get consumers to buy the
23-inch display, the same 2 5GHz four-core processor. In addition, up to
1TB hard drive and 1080p display, it is obvious that the consumer can
get more value from Dell.
On a laptop, there are also the same situation. Apple 15-inch MacBook
Pro laptop prices set at $ 1,799. At this price, consumers can get a
2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core Core i7 processor, 4GB memory and 500GB hard
drive. Looks pretty good, right?
Uh, but HP offers a similar product allows consumers to save $ 500,
will also be given a 15.6-inch full HD display, plus a 2.2 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 8GB memory and 750GB hard drive laptop. The key is
that its shape is not much worse than Apple's MacBook Pro.
Even Apple's mobile products and should not be regarded as a
high-end. iPhone 4S is good, but it does not like the HTC One X
configured as a quad-core processors, but also not the latest Samsung
Galaxy S III as with 4G LTE communication functions. The new Apple iPad
screen size (9.7 inches) than many competitors (such as Samsung Galaxy
Tab 2) screen is smaller, and its quad-core graphics chip is also
affected by the limit of the dual-core processing chip.
Therefore, if the configuration for the words, Apple is definitely
not the most high-end equipment. The company has high-end features,
including the retina display configuration on the MacBook Pro and other
mobile devices. However, the truth is: the industry already has several
companies to products with better parts.
However, high-quality components and value are two different things.
Informed customers know they can buy cheaper products from Apple's
competitors, and more powerful components, but the value of such
intangible things that will make them still choose to buy the iPhone and
Mac computers. Apple's products look more beautiful, the Apple store
shopping experience more comfortable, which allows consumers to do
Apple's customers are a "cool" things. Of course, the reason why many of
the scientific community and design profession awe of Steve Jobs,
because he not only know the products at what time do the addition, to
know when to do subtraction, and to determine the types of products
should be the most high-end market products.
So, maybe Apple does not need so "high end". Obviously, as long as printed on the Apple logo has been successful in half.

Summer Travel Tips: how to carry lithium batteries?
During the summer, the majority of passengers visiting friends and
relatives, leisure and tourism can not help but bring electronic
equipment containing lithium batteries, electronic equipment and more,
but in flight, incorrect transport lithium serious consequences, and how
to properly carry lithium but no How many people know.
The risk of lithium battery depends on its lithium content. Lithium belong to the case of wet dangerous of dangerous goods, water or moist air will release flammable gases liable to spontaneous combustion; solid-state lithium in the temperature exceeds the melting point of 180 ° C; in powder combustion in ambient temperature conditions; can lead to serious burns and corrosion. Need to pay attention to are: lithium battery once caught fire in flight, will give the aircraft and passenger safety of life which bring great harm. Because of combustion of dissolved lithium melt wear cargo or generate enough pressure to break through the cargo hold wall, so that the fire from spreading to other parts of the aircraft. Cargo hold temperature in the cargo hold, even if the fire has been extinguished, increase still makes such self-ignition of the battery and trigger a strong fire and explosion.
In this, Pcpartsltd.com friendship prompted the majority of visitors:
For the personal use of portable electronic devices (watches, calculators, cameras, mobile phones, laptop computers and camcorders, etc.) containing lithium metal batteries or lithium-ion battery should be used as hand luggage to carry boarding, so if the passenger's checked luggage, mobile phones, airline or airport security personnel will be asked to be taken out to carry a laptop or other electronic products.
Second, in order to the lives and safety of passengers, not allowed to bring more than energy lithium battery over 160Wh (watt-hours). Lithium products are mainly travelers will often carry mobile phones, laptops and digital cameras, iPhone series phones battery power is iPhone4S, it is equipped with the energy of the lithium 5.3Wh; Dell laptop battery energy 56Wh or so; The digital camera lithium battery energy is is about 5Wh. Assume that the plane when the above three products with a total energy carried by the lithium 100Wh or less, only in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Air Transport normal to carry the can.
More than 100Wh but not more than 160Wh lithium battery, be sure to take protective packaging measures. Such as the exposed electrode tape stuck to each battery is individually packed in plastic bags or protective bag.
Spare batteries only carry a maximum of two.
Carry mobile phones, computers and other mobile power or spare lithium batteries on aircraft, mobile power products insulation must be wrapped to avoid contact with other conductive material and leakage of electric shock accidents. On the plane, but also natural and can not come up with to boot. Mobile power products also do not charge too full, the required power to protect the travel more smoothly through the security check.

Toshiba Satellite P755D-S5172 Review:
Toshiba Satellite P755D is a decent multimedia notebook computers, Blu-ray drive, Harman / Kardon stereo speakers, 15.6-inch widescreen
high definition display. This "high performance" mode, in the list of
Toshiba's "daily value" for the $ 700 satellite lines (up to 2012 April
2, days). Its quad-core AMD processors will not set any speed records.
Toshiba's
focus on multimedia. Dolby advanced and Waves MaxxAudio system to
produce a very loud voice, even in high-volume speakers, whether it is
from over headphones. The HDMI port lets you connect to your HDTV
Blu-ray movies, too. Regrettably, the display of 15.6 inches, the
relatively low resolution of 1366 × 768 - it is very difficult because
the screen is a mirror gloss to avoid reflection.
A potentially handy feature of the microphone port, known as the Toshiba Sleep and music, it allows you to play your MP3 player through the laptop speakers, even in the power and notebook computers. In addition, you can charge via USB Sleep port also operates even when the notebook computer is turned off, unless you have inserted into the laptop on the wall, although it will run out of battery to charge your digital devices.
Ports, including VGA, Ethernet, three USB connection and a USB 3.0 port and the sleep and charging, headphones and microphone jack, security lock slot and a memory card reader (front). P755D is also equipped with 802.11 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0. "Toshiba hard drive protection, collision sensors automatically parks the drive head to avoid damage to the surface of the hard drive of your laptop's 640GB hard drive should be met. A pop-up warning you, if the machine collisions and the directorate is parked, you will be surprised to find how easy it is, you can provoke it into action.
The power button above the keyboard and touch-sensitive buttons, power saving utility for the wireless ecosystem, speaker on / off, volume control.
The Toshiba laotop keyboard is good, its smooth, big, black key is a reasonable response, although their descendants are not deep, the more expensive Dell Inspiron, for example,. The multi-touch touchpad is difficult to use - every time I accidentally touched it with two fingers, the cursor freeze, every time I had to take a moment to figure out what is wrong. The touchpad buttons are a bit stiff. A button you can open the entire top of the keyboard, as well as the entire touch pad the top of the light bar control buttons, but the rest of the keyboard is not backlit.
Unfortunately, the performance of this affordable notebook computer is not completely stars. Unable to keep up with AMD The Fusion the A8-3520M processor with Intel's Core i5 or i7 CPU general-purpose computing tasks in our test P755D limped along moderate notched a WorldBench 54 points. AMD is known as the integrated graphics performance of the system in a step - at moderate quality settings, you can play modern Olympic Games at a reasonable level of performance (in our tests, it run in the second 28 frames dirt The details of the high local screen 1366 × 768 resolution). Battery lasted 4 hours, 42 minutes, which is a medium results for this category of notebook computers.
The Satellite P755D with Microsoft Office Starter 2010, including Word and Excel ad. This is the only major built-in applications, with Internet Explorer and Google, together with the Toshiba DVD playback software and Corel's Blu-ray player, laptop computers. Unfortunately, I can not get Corel Blu-ray player, I downloaded a free player to watch Blu-ray movies, and work well.
Two custom programs in addition to Microsoft Live Essentials suite of photos, e-mail, Movie Maker, Messenger, Live Writer a blog application, Toshiba: Toshiba access for free and paid e-books Book Plaza, Toshiba application place a long string games, utilities, and applications (some free, some experimental, some paid). Toshiba books Plaza (renamed the Blio bookstores), take some time, however, because it need to go through several lengthy and problematic software updates, you can not bypass. Toshiba applications place most of the programs is mild, similar to what you used with a computer magazine to subscribe to free games and utilities disk.
Toshiba Online Backup Utility pop-up early can not be dismissed; if you want to or not, you must set it up. I do not want to, so I found this tool contains Norton Internet Security program pest almost as annoying, you activate the 30-day trial, each time you start the computer to heart. I thought it might be wise coercion new computer users to install some basic level of security, but the experienced user with the preferences of their own safety will not be amused. As for the missing application, I think the installation of Skype - Skype label is located on the keyboard - but the laptop is only a link, download Skype. The strange thing is, it will not be pre-installed.
Toshiba environmentally friendly and practical, and you press a button is enabled, automatically reduces, lowering the screen brightness laptop computer power consumption when not in use, the machine sleep, idle, close off the hard drive, and adjust the CPU usage (four core AMD A8, presumably to disable one or more core, the system is under low load, although it is not a specific file). It also shows your power to use the site map, and even estimated to be much less carbon dioxide, resulting in emissions under the ecological functions. Turn off the CPU core to save the planet arguable virtue aside, I would like to extend battery life in P755D, when you in the cross-country flight time, this button can be easily and quick service.
Hardware documentation, including the start card and online guides are buried in the Toshiba subdirectory. I know that all relevant electronic documents and to prevent the trees were cut, just to explain the system, but the company at least can be said, or else on the icon on the toolbar in the Windows 7 desktop bare online guide. You do not have all the software documentation.
P755D 5.4 pounds, is ultra-light, but it is not too heavy for its size; save some weight may be due to all the plastic shell. Fortunately, the plastic is solid, not curved.
Toshiba Satellite P755D is a decent full-featured laptop, not too thick, although plastic, very solid. Quite modest in our tests, although it has some great multimedia features. Faster performance, access to the document, reducing the annoying backup and virus tools, not an ordinary eccentric multi-touch touchpad will generate more enthusiasm and a higher score, but this model is as an intermediate roads, with a moderate price notebook fine.

How to solve the screen automatically black when play the game
Friend's computer to play will not last long black must be restarted
before they can, but after the start did not take long and black.
Finally find out the reasons is the capacitance of the graphics card
burned out, re-purchase a new graphics card problem. Summary of the
computer is two years ago, the configuration is not very good, game
requirements, the carrying capacity of the graphics may not be enough,
eventually leading to the scene now. I believe many of my friends might
encounter this problem, in general we should start with the software to
start, and then analyze the reasons of hardware.
Play the game, after a while the display is automatically black, but the game or the normal operation, you can hear the game sound, only to restart in order to restore normal
Software analysis: first determine whether the black screen time recently, analysis of computer software to see which software recently installed the graphics driver you recently updated computer virus scanning is the virus. Really can not find the can back up and re-install the system, if the problem persists, please analyze the reasons of hardware.
Hardware Analysis: what kind of alarm sound when the PC speaker to listen to start:
1 short: the system starts up normally, indicating that the machine does not have any problems.
Two short: the conventional CMOS settings wrong please enter the CMOS Setup to reset the incorrect option.
1 long 1 short: Memory or motherboard error. Change a memory or change memory slots to try if it does not have to replace the motherboard.
1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error reseating the graphics card or check the monitor wiring.
1 long 3 short: Keyboard Controller Error Checking motherboard keyboard pin whether crooked or broken needle whether inserted. If the keyboard does not have a problem then the motherboard PS / 2 interface.
1 long 9 short: motherboard Flash RAM or EPROM error BIOS damage. Try to change the block Flash RAM.
Constantly ringing (long sound): memory is not seated or damaged, re-insert the memory or replace the memory may also be the graphics poor contact or graphics card is useless cause reseating the video card or replace the video card to try.
If no alarm sounds may start from the following:
CPU: excessive overclocking or to not suitable for overclocked components for overclocking will not only cause the generation of black failure can also cause serious damage to the accessories. There is excessive overclocking or to not suitable for overclocking components overclocked heat bad or normal use of the cooling fan is damaged, simply do not turn will cause the system to protect themselves crash black screen. (Generally not a problem)
Memory: see next memory slot next to the dust is too much, whether there are loose, unplug the careful observation of the semiconductor memory with or without burn phenomenon, you can wipe clean and re-plug the memory, then you can change the root try.
Graphics card: with memory, as must be carefully observed capacitance without exploding phenomenon, my friend's graphics card is the explosion of the two capacitors to cause intermittent black screen, if it is the state when the integrated graphics look the boot hard disk light is normal to start. , graphics can be independent to try.
Motherboard: The method is still Ibid, careful observation of the capacitor and chip, the motherboard CMOS settings are not correct and the motherboard to clear the BIOS jumper can cause black screen failure, then you can control the motherboard to change its settings.
Power supply: power supply, power supply shortage will cause system black, if that computer is running normal, no recent additions to the new hardware will not cause insufficient power supply, unless the power supply capacitance of individual burn.
Hard disk: it is generally bad, then can not enter the system, the motherboard can be powered to detect until the access to the system that displays an error, generally black not with the hard disk.
General computer black also the above situations, a lot of careful observation, the patient search will find the problem, I wish the friends do not encounter this problem ...

Hardware Analysis: what kind of alarm sound when the PC speaker to listen to start:
1 short: the system starts up normally, indicating that the machine does not have any problems.
Two short: the conventional CMOS settings wrong please enter the CMOS Setup to reset the incorrect option.
1 long 1 short: Memory or motherboard error. Change a memory or change memory slots to try if it does not have to replace the motherboard.
1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error reseating the graphics card or check the monitor wiring.
1 long 3 short: Keyboard Controller Error Checking motherboard keyboard pin whether crooked or broken needle whether inserted. If the keyboard does not have a problem then the motherboard PS / 2 interface.
1 long 9 short: motherboard Flash RAM or EPROM error BIOS damage. Try to change the block Flash RAM.
Constantly ringing (long sound): memory is not seated or damaged, re-insert the memory or replace the memory may also be the graphics poor contact or graphics card is useless cause reseating the video card or replace the video card to try.
If no alarm sounds may start from the following:
CPU: excessive overclocking or to not suitable for overclocked components for overclocking will not only cause the generation of black failure can also cause serious damage to the accessories. There is excessive overclocking or to not suitable for overclocking components overclocked heat bad or normal use of the cooling fan is damaged, simply do not turn will cause the system to protect themselves crash black screen. (Generally not a problem)
Memory: see next memory slot next to the dust is too much, whether there are loose, unplug the careful observation of the semiconductor memory with or without burn phenomenon, you can wipe clean and re-plug the memory, then you can change the root try.
Graphics card: with memory, as must be carefully observed capacitance without exploding phenomenon, my friend's graphics card is the explosion of the two capacitors to cause intermittent black screen, if it is the state when the integrated graphics look the boot hard disk light is normal to start. , graphics can be independent to try.
Motherboard: The method is still Ibid, careful observation of the capacitor and chip, the motherboard CMOS settings are not correct and the motherboard to clear the BIOS jumper can cause black screen failure, then you can control the motherboard to change its settings.
Power supply: power supply, power supply shortage will cause system black, if that computer is running normal, no recent additions to the new hardware will not cause insufficient power supply, unless the power supply capacitance of individual burn.
Hard disk: it is generally bad, then can not enter the system, the motherboard can be powered to detect until the access to the system that displays an error, generally black not with the hard disk.
General computer black also the above situations, a lot of careful observation, the patient search will find the problem, I wish the friends do not encounter this problem ...

How to buy SSD depends on which parameters? how to measure SSD performance is good or bad?
SSD is the main performance parameters are the following:
Maximum sustained read speed, maximum sustained write speed, seek time, 4KB read and write performance, IOPS performance.
The maximum sustained read and write performance: this should be good to understand, in a nutshell is a large number of copyed copy hard disk can reach the speed of the data.
Seek Time: SSD does not have a mechanical structure, so seek time is very short, generally in about 0.1 milliseconds.
4KB read and write performance: This is the most important parameters of an SSD, no SSD leave this parameter even read and write performance of up to 1G / S are meaningless, 4KB read and write performance directly determines the performance of a SSD, Kingston and other low The price of hard disk where the difference between hard drives with Intel and other high-priced.
IOPS performance: per second read and write (I / O) the number of operations to measure the performance of random access. (X-25V read speed average of more than 180M, for only 99$ a SSD is a very good score).
Other parameters: such as SSD flash memory block read and write cycles / life, as well as whether to support the trim instructions.
Supplementary Trim:
The original mechanical hard disk, writing data, Windows will inform the previous erase the hard drive first, then new data is written to disk. Data is deleted, Windows will only be here to be a marker, indicating that here is nothing, wait until the real data to write again really deleted, and to mark this action will be retained in the disk cache, until the disk idle when re-executed. As a result, the disk needs more time to perform the above operation, the speed will certainly slow down.
When Windows recognizes the SSD and confirm the SSD support Trim, delete data, will inform the hard drive remove instruction only use the Volume Bitmap to remember where the data has been deleted. Volume Bitmap is just a disk snapshot to establish the speed marked for deletion region much faster than the read and write directly to hard disk. This step has already save a large amount of time. And then write the data, the NAND flash memory to save data is pure digital form, can be directly based on the Volume Bitmap to the snapshot has been deleted blocks to write new data without having to spend the time to erase the original data.
The above is the principle and the true role of Trim.

About Overclocking of computer
The prospect of overclocking a computer system can be intimidating
for a computer newcomer, to say the least. The idea is simple enough;
make the computer's processor run faster than its stock speed to gain
more performance without paying for it. The execution of this idea
though, can be anything but simple.
Successful overclocking is as often a matter of 'what you know' as 'what you have'. Understanding the maze of hardware dependencies and tweaks that can make the difference between a successful overclock and total failure is a demanding practice.
What Does Overclocking Do?
Overclocking a computer's processor or memory causes it to go faster than its factory rated speed. A processor rated at 2.4GHz might be overclocked to 2.5GHz or 2.6GHz, while memory rated at 200MHz might be pushed to 220MHz or higher. The extra speed results in more work being done by the processor and/or memory in a given time period, increasing the overall computing performance of the PC.
Can Overclocking Damage Computer Hardware?
Yes, but it's typically unlikely. Generally speaking, when computer hardware is pushed beyond its limits, it will lock up, crash or show other obvious errors long before it gets to the point where the processor or memory might be permanently damaged. The exception to this is if extreme voltages are used when attempting to overclock, but since most motherboards do not support extremely high voltages, and neither does this guide, it's not likely to be an issue.
For older processors, heat is also a factor worth keeping a close eye on. Modern processors have thermal sensors which will slow down or shut off the PC, but older CPUs do not necessarily feature these safety devices. The best know example of this is the AMD AthlonXP (socket A/462), which was famous for burning itself up in less than 5 seconds if the heatsink was not installed properly (or at all).
The Purpose of Overclocking
The most obvious reason to overclock a computer system is to squeeze some additional performance out of it at little or no cost. Overclocking the processor and system memory can significantly boost game performance, benchmark scores and even simple desktop tasks. Since almost every modern processor and memory module is overclockable to at least a slight degree, there are few reasons not to attempt it.
Important Overclocking Concepts
The following terms will be used throughout this guide, so it's important to get a good grasp on them now.
FSB (FrontSide Bus): The data bus that carries information from the processor to the main memory and the rest of the system. A processor's internal multiplier multiplied the FSB speed of the system = that processor's speed in MHz or GHz.
Increasing the clock speed of the FSB (and thus the speed of the memory and the processor as well) is the most common and effective way of overclocking a modern computer.
AMD Athlon 64-based systems do not use a conventional FSB since the memory controller is built right onto the processor's core instead of being located in the motherboard's core logic chipset. Instead, a value called motherboard clock speed is used to determine the speed of data transfer between the processor and the memory. For the purposes of this article, FSB and motherboard clock speed are interchangeable terms.
Internal Multiplier: The ratio of a given processor's speed (in MHz or GHz) as compared to the FSB (Frontside Bus) speed of the computer system it is installed in. A processor with an internal multiplier of 16x installed in a system with a FSB of 200MHz would run at 3.2GHz internally, since 16 x 200MHz = 3.2GHz. Most modern processors are 'multiplier locked' to some degree, meaning that their internal multiplier cannot be changed (or at least increased). This in turn means that increasing the FSB speed of a system is the only way to overclock the processor.
Memory Divider: Most modern Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon motherboards allow a memory divider to be set. This divider allows the system memory to run slower than the actual FSB speed. By default, FSB speed and memory are usually set to a 1:1 ratio, meaning that increasing FSB speed (by overclocking) increases memory speed by the same amount. Most 'generic' system memory is not built for overclocking and thus may not be able to take the level of overclocking that the processor or motherboard can achieve.
The memory divider allows users to mitigate this problem by reducing the speed increase of the memory relative to that of the FSB and the processor. Setting a 5:4 memory divider would mean that memory speed increases at 4/5th the rate of the FSB, for example.
Reducing the relative speed of the memory does result in a slight decrease in performance as compared to the default 1:1 ratio between FSB and memory speed, but it may help users with generic memory achieve a higher overclock.
Stock Speed: The default or factory speed settings of computer hardware like the processor, memory and motherboard. With the processor, stock speed refers to the clock speed in MHz or GHz of the processor. With the memory, stock speed refers to the highest standard memory speed that the memory module is rated for (PC3200 DDR memory has a stock speed of 200MHz, for example). In the case of the motherboard, stock speed refers to the default speed at which the processor and memory work together, the FSB speed.
To tie this all together, say a motherboard has an Athlon XP 3000+ processor installed (stock speed 2.1GHz) which uses a FSB speed of 166MHz. A PC3200 DDR memory module (stock speed 200MHz) is installed. Since the processor requires a 166MHz FSB, the motherboard will set the memory speed to 166MHz which becomes its stock speed with the current configuration.
Core/Memory/Chipset Voltage: These three voltage values represent the amount of electrical power being fed to the respective components. When a processor, memory or motherboard is made to run faster due to overclocking, more voltage may be required in order for that component to run stably. With this in mind, voltage adjustment is one of the most important principles of overclocking.
If an overclocked computer becomes unstable, increasing one or more of these voltage settings by a very small amount (0.05V to 0.1V) can often mean the difference between an unbootable system and a stable overclocked one. That being said, it is important to make some distinctions with respect to voltage adjustments; more voltage does not necessarily mean faster speeds, rather minor increases can help improve stability. Computer circuits are designed to operate within very specific electrical ranges, and drastically increasing the electricity being supplied to a chipset will raise temperatures, and potentially damage it.

Students how to choose a desirable laptop
If you are a college student with a laptop computer will make your
college life more enjoyable. Online dating daily learning, it will give
great help. Students are generally young people, entertainment, games,
brands have certain requirements, there is the affordability of college
students is limited, which requires the least amount of money in
exchange for the highest price. Of course, to choose a suitable,
cost-effective notebook is not easy, that brand? The specific needs of
what kind of configuration? Screen how much? It can play games? These
issues before we buy the notebook is sure to understand.
Laptop screen
Screen Size varies from person to person. 12-inch laptop portability is generally better than the 12-inch laptop, of course, from the needs of video games, choose a 14-inch laptop is the most appropriate.
CPU
The CPU is the core of the notebook computer, which determines the overall performance of the notebook grade, according to their economic budget as far as possible to select high-performance CPU. If you are just chatting on the Internet, data processing, you can try to select a high-performance CPU; If you are a very like to play the game people, then they would weigh the balance issues between the CPU and graphics performance.
Memory
Computer systems run almost all programs are on the memory inside the operator to select the more memory the computer performance is certainly good; but if too much memory, systems and procedures to use to finish, but also a waste, so select the appropriate memory size. Minimum requirements of the just released Windows 7 operating system 1G memory configuration, of course, I recommend that we need to select 2G or 4G memory, so that both meet their needs without wasting.
Graphics
If you like the students to play the game, then you need a good discrete graphics, and then high-performance CPU, a powerful graphics co-ordinated efforts to play the big game. You can choose a suitable graphics card to play the game according to their own.
Hard disk
With the development of the Blu-ray high-definition on your computer's hard drive also made greater requirements for mainstream notebook hard drive 250G to 500G. The specific needs of much hard drive space, this can be selected according to your specific needs.
Brand choice
If you like the business style laptop, ThinkPad is a good choice; if you like fashion Apple and Sony will meet your needs; If you are looking for value for money then you can choose the acer. Each laptop brand has a relatively good product, you can as described above on the basis of hardware choices according to their economic ability to select your laptop brand.
Students choose a suitable own laptop, is the need in their own specific use, and notebook computer hardware performance, the total budget based on a balanced choice, and therefore recommended that the college students as much as possible the choice of the comprehensive performance balanced laptop.

Sony's first Ultrabook price conscious
If you are looking for a new laptop computer shopping, you may find
that the term "Ultrabook" suddenly appeared within the scope of your
view. Ultrabook is thinner than an ordinary laptop, lighter, but it does
not sacrifice a full keyboard and other functions, it uses a different
type of memory, rather than the traditional hard drive speed and good battery
life, so you can use it as your daily work, such as browsing web pages
and documents the work of the host computer. After the beginning of a
trend in Apple's MacBook Air, the Windows PC manufacturers such as HP,
Dell and Samsung to provide them, and now Sony has joined the fight.
In the past week, I have been concerned about the Sony T13, the company's first Ultrabook makes it stand package is its low price tag. The cost of the Ultrabooks still hovering at around $ 1,000, but the VAIO T series $ 770. In contrast, the same functions as the Dell XPS 13 price of $ 999, while the 13-inch MacBook Air $ 1,199.
For the price, the VAIO T13 offers the latest Intel processors Ivy Bridge, too many ports and 4 GB of memory. In order to reduce costs, there are some tradeoffs, such as low screen resolution, but overall, I found Vaio T13 is a fast machine. This is a good value is yes, but there are also some disadvantages, such as lower than the standard keyboard and a loud fan has excellent.
VAIO T13 measures 12.7 inches wide, 0.71 inches thick and weighs 3.54 pounds, so it's on the market ultrabooks number of proportion. For example, the Dell XPS 13 is 2.99 lbs MacBook Air weighs 2.96 pounds. Say, I did not find the extra weight is a huge problem. I was able to carry it around without it weighing me in my backpack.
In addition, although it is thicker than air, I very much appreciate the Vaio is available on the port selection. This includes an Ethernet interface, two USB ports, HDMI and VGA interface, if you want to connect to a TV or monitor, Memory Stick Pro Duo processor / SD card slot.
VAIO T has a 13.3 inches screen with 1,366 × 768 pixels resolution. The colors look a bit dull, pictures and videos are not too bright or sharp. Lower resolution also means that you have to scroll a little more to see what the screen, but you get a decent size of the touch pad supports multi-touch gestures, to help you navigate between pages and tasks switch. It in my test, and four fingers on the touchpad that I was able to return to the desktop card swipe with three fingers to the left or move to the right pages and photos.
But I do not like the Ultrabook the keyboard. There are a lot of the spacing between the buttons, so it does not feel cramped. Button stiff, sticky, so I really have a punch in the keys. This matter, I am used to after a period of time, but it led to a lot of mistakes and frustration. I would also like typing keyboard backlight in a dark room.
$ 799 Vaio T13 review by the Intel Core i5 processors, and has a combined 500GB hard drives and 32GB solid state hard drive. (Faster the Ultrabooks number of the i7 processor and up to 8GB of memory configuration ultrabook) with solid state drives - flash memory - to improve speed and battery life, but it limits the storage capacity. They are also more expensive, which is why Sony uses this hybrid option.
Even so, I found Vaio T13 is a responsible computer, you will get the bonus of additional storage capacity. The Ultrabook 29 seconds to boot from a cold start and seven seconds, wakes up from sleep mode. MacBook Air start within 15 seconds, wake up within five seconds, so is not much difference between the latter test.
Time, I have at least a dozen labels, to open in my web browser, YouTube video streaming and download the album, playing online store Word documents from Google. The VAIO T13 is able to handle all these tasks, and has not slowed down. However, its fans and often makes a lot of noise. It's annoying, but I think it is doing its job, because in Ultrabook never without enthusiasm, even when I watch the television program on Hulu.
Sony Vaio T13 battery life is estimated that about 7 hours, 30 minutes, power-saving mode. In my tests, I turned off all power-saving function and the left side of the Wi-Fi, full brightness display settings, loop music player, while running in the background e-mail application Vaio battery life of 4 hours and 20 minutes.
The battery performance is compared to some other Ultrabooks We tested the Dell XPS 13 the AllThingsD road is the worst four hours Lenovo IdeaPad U300s the best in five hours. As more and more normal use, I hope you should get extra per hour from the VAIO T13 battery life.
The Vaio running Windows 7 comes pre-installed Microsoft Office 2010, it provides a simplified version of the basic versions of Word and Excel, and Kaspersky Internet Security 30 day trial version. Sony a variety of applications, such as unlimited music shops and PlayMemories multimedia gallery - all these you can be accessed at the top of the desktop screen drop-down menu.
For those on a budget, the Sony T13, of course, is a factor worth considering. It is fast and provides a good amount of storage. However, if possible, I will certainly recommend to enter a store and tried the keyboard to see if it is to your liking.

(Faster the Ultrabooks number of the i7 processor and up to 8GB of memory configuration ultrabook) with solid state drives - flash memory - to improve speed and battery life, but it limits the storage capacity. They are also more expensive, which is why Sony uses this hybrid option.
Even so, I found Vaio T13 is a responsible computer, you will get the bonus of additional storage capacity. The Ultrabook 29 seconds to boot from a cold start and seven seconds, wakes up from sleep mode. MacBook Air start within 15 seconds, wake up within five seconds, so is not much difference between the latter test.
Time, I have at least a dozen labels, to open in my web browser, YouTube video streaming and download the album, playing online store Word documents from Google. The VAIO T13 is able to handle all these tasks, and has not slowed down. However, its fans and often makes a lot of noise. It's annoying, but I think it is doing its job, because in Ultrabook never without enthusiasm, even when I watch the television program on Hulu.
Sony Vaio T13 battery life is estimated that about 7 hours, 30 minutes, power-saving mode. In my tests, I turned off all power-saving function and the left side of the Wi-Fi, full brightness display settings, loop music player, while running in the background e-mail application Vaio battery life of 4 hours and 20 minutes.
The battery performance is compared to some other Ultrabooks We tested the Dell XPS 13 the AllThingsD road is the worst four hours Lenovo IdeaPad U300s the best in five hours. As more and more normal use, I hope you should get extra per hour from the VAIO T13 battery life.
The Vaio running Windows 7 comes pre-installed Microsoft Office 2010, it provides a simplified version of the basic versions of Word and Excel, and Kaspersky Internet Security 30 day trial version. Sony a variety of applications, such as unlimited music shops and PlayMemories multimedia gallery - all these you can be accessed at the top of the desktop screen drop-down menu.
For those on a budget, the Sony T13, of course, is a factor worth considering. It is fast and provides a good amount of storage. However, if possible, I will certainly recommend to enter a store and tried the keyboard to see if it is to your liking.

The heat causes and solutions when Laptop ac adapter using
It is normal for it to work, to convert the output, it will consume
energy, there will be a part of into heat also depends on whether you
installed on the battery or the battery is normal. Laptop power adapter
is actually a high-precision, high-efficiency switching power supply,
its role is to AC power is converted to low voltage DC to provide
stable power for the normal work of the notebook computer, it can even
be called a notebook the computer
Notebook power adapter is about questions and answers. Such as:
Q: Why exactly the same machine, Managing someone else‚ notebook power adapter , I always very hot?
Do not doubt your notebook power adapter , take a look at your books are doing, is not like the above said two usb hard drives, cpu is running at full speed crazy, hard to read and write, CD-ROM drive at full speed to read the disk, at the same time charging the battery , stood loud music, screen brightness, wireless LAN has been in the detection signal, the use of power management, according to the task of rationally adjust the books of the state is very important. Many people do not like to use power management, I have even seen many of my friends do not want to install power management software to any kind of management mode is enabled, it is also fitted him to do? Will not be just want to look at the battery remaining percent How much it?
Q: I filled the battery-line power when the lenovo t500 adapter is not too hot, but do not install the battery for a burnt to death on normal? Why?
I filled the battery-line power supply when the power adapter is not too hot, but do not install the battery for a burnt to death on normal? Why
Batteries, notebook power adapter to charge the battery by battery driven books, the battery is medium. To remove after the battery. Becomes the adapter directly to start the notebook. Charge and DIP are different concepts. When charging, you should look at the battery‚ Are normal. Rest assured it.
I recently bought a laptop computer, notebook power adapter and pressed but I only spent about 30 minutes like hot ah ask the computer problems are so I use it every time
In theory, it is normal
Itself the power adapter is not a good heat dissipation, and his interior is a large inductor constitute a necessary way of the current transfer box is closed, plus it is summer, if you heat does not exceed your hands the ability to accept that are normal, I believe that I am not wrong, your computer and power adapter all I own in the laptop repair years ~ ~
Inside the lenovo laptop power adapter is a switching power supply, high voltage, high current state, the workload is heavier, and is fully enclosed structure, there is no cooling holes in the shell, the internal fan to the auxiliary heat, thus the laptop power supply adapter at work, the internal temperature is very high. Especially during the hot summer, touching the surface you can feel hot, the internal temperature is higher. Which the daily office, entertainment to its proper maintenance and maintenance.
(1) to create a good thermal environment
Use of laptop computers in the high temperature environment, the power adapter to place free from direct sunlight and well ventilated place; power adapter on the laptop near the cooling air outlet, otherwise not only the heat of the power adapter dissemination does not go out, but also absorb some of the heat. In the hot summer, we can put the adapter on its side in order to increase the contact area of the adapter with air, so that the adapter heat better distributed out. In order to get a better cooling effect, we can pad between the adapter and the desktop into a narrow plastic block or piece of metal in order to increase the air convection speed of the adapter around, speed up the adapter‚
(2) exception occurs shall promptly stop using
Loud noise or smoke in the laptop ac adapter is often damaged or malfunction, should immediately stop using once again put into use only by maintenance by a professional engineer.
(3) a reasonable charge
When the laptop battery is charging, it is best not to run large-scale 3d games and other procedures for the machine heavy workload, so because of the amount of surplus power adapter output power is not enough battery charge slower or sufficient dissatisfaction, overloading the power adapter.
(4) different models of notebook power adapter can not be mixed
Different brands of laptop power adapter, there are some differences in output, voltage and current values, and therefore can not be mixed. Otherwise, ranging from the battery sufficient dissatisfaction with the power, the screen flashing, the weight is to burn the notebook computer motherboard or other hardware. Different models of the same brand notebook power adapter in the other time also should be careful, it is recommended to consult professional engineers after the operation.
Hot in summer so the notebook power adapter fever is inevitable, we must pay attention to the thermal environment. Due to rapid market development of the technology development notebook power adapter and switching switching power adapter , power adapter will be more convenient.

Laptop battery material is a nickel-metal hydride or lithium, nickel-metal hydride battery has a memory effect, lithium battery memory effect was significantly smaller, but there are. Therefore, we use battery-powered, please try to run out of power after the charge. Recommended every three months on the battery to fully charge and discharge time, in order to ensure the performance of the battery. Reduced charge and discharge times. The number of laptop battery usually about 600 -800, the number of battery charging directly affect their life. Therefore, when in use must reduce the battery and external power supply switching frequency. Do not have to unplug the battery when using external power supply. In everyday use, we often use an external power supply for notebook power supply, if the laptop battery is not removed, the battery will recharge your batteries? The reality is that many big brands of notebooks are taken into account the vulnerability of the battery only when the battery is below 95% charge. Therefore I recommend that you battery on the laptop, you can protect your data is not lost because of a sudden power outage.
How to extend laptop battery life time?
1, the screen is the power consumption of the largest components, due to lower screen brightness power-saving in the use of battery-powered laptop. Removed without the use of system equipment, the Windows system "Device Manager" which displayed normal equipment, power system using a laptop battery-powered, we want to remove or turn off some do not the equipment used. Such as: Bluetooth, SD card, infrared port, usb interface devices, wireless network card and so on.
2, the power saving settings in the Windows system has a "Power Options" control panel "inside the windows system, open it, you can see below the" power scheme "option" at least use the battery mode " home / office "Portable / Laptop" several programs. Face-to-face program from the "home / office" into the "Portable / Laptop, Windows intelligently reduce the performance of laptop hardware power-saving, this setting can reduce the power consumption of the whole of the maximum possible, and this is Centrino "technology on the contribution made to extend battery life.
3, the battery management software using a laptop provided by the manufacturer of the battery set, each notebook vendors to extend the laptop battery in order to maximize the use of time, has developed battery management software, the software allows us to set up your computer to facilitate intelligent performance and power consumption, simple and practical for our users, such as the ThinkPad Battery MaxiMiser battery management software, very famous.
Learning some of the battery energy-saving techniques and maintenance methods, let us take a laptop computer to go out, have a longer duration of use, improve the efficiency in the use of laptop computers. If you have other ways and our message for everyone to learn the reference!
Basic components of the notebook computer maintenance tips
1, The Laptop LCD Screen (LCD Panel)
A long time without using a computer, via the function keys on the keyboard temporarily only LCD screen, power off, screen life can be extended in addition to save power.
* Do not force the cover of the LCD screen cover on the screen or put any foreign objects in between the keyboard and display screen, to avoid the cover glass due to the weight and cause damage to internal components.
* Do not touch the screen surface to avoid scratching fingernails and sharp objects (hard objects).
* LCD screen surface will attract dust due to static electricity, it is recommended to buy the LCD screen cleaning cloth to clean your screen, do not shoot except to avoid leaving fingerprints with your fingers, and gently wipe.
* Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the screen.
2, The Laptop Battery (Batteries)
* When no external power supply, if the working conditions at the time temporarily use the card in less than a PCMCIA slot, it is recommended to remove the card first in order to extend battery life.
Room temperature (20-30 degrees) is the most suitable battery operating temperature, the temperature is too high or too low operating environment will reduce the battery usage time.
The use of laptop computers in the environment can provide a stable power supply, remove the battery for longer battery life by life is not correct. Asus notebooks, when fully charged battery, the battery charging circuit will automatically shut down, so it will not overcharge phenomenon.
* Suggest that the average of three months for a battery power correction action.
* Power Adapter (AC Adapter) when used with reference to international voltage Help
3, The Laptop Keyboard (Keyboards)
Accumulated dust, used a small brush to clean the cracks, or use high-pressure jet cans generally clean the camera lens, blow the dust, or use a handheld vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris on the keyboard.
* Clean surfaces coated with a little detergent on a soft cloth, gently wipe the keyboard surface in the case of shutdown.
4, The hard disk (Hard Disk)
* In stable condition as far as possible, avoid operating the computer easy to shake locations.
* Switch machine process is the hard disk most vulnerable time. Hard bearings is not yet speed is not yet stable, if vibration is likely to cause bad sectors. The recommended shutdown after waiting about ten seconds or so after the mobile notebook.
* Average monthly to perform a disk reorganization and scanning to enhance the efficiency of disk access.
5 Floppy Drive
* To avoid the adverse appearance or mildew the floppy disk.
* Buy a floppy drive cleaning tablets, and regular cleaning of the read-write heads.
6, CD-ROM
* Use the disc cleaning tablets, periodically clean the laser lens.
* Hands and land the disc into your CD-ROM drive, a hand CD tray in one hand the CD piece is really fixed, can avoid the deformation of the CD tray.
7, The touchpad
* Always keep your hands clean when using the touchpad, so as to avoid a run around the phenomenon of the cursor.
* Careless dry cloth moistened corner of the dirty surface, gently wipe the surface of the touchpad can, do not use a rough cloth and other items to clean the surface.
* Touchpad is the induction of precision electronic components Do not use sharp objects to write on the touch panel, also can not use the weight, so as not to cause damage.
8, Thermal Dissipation(cpu fan)
* In general, notebook computer manufacturers through the fan, heat duct (Heat Pipe), a large heat sink, cooling holes, such as to reduce the use of heat generated.
* To save power and to avoid the noise, the laptop fan is not always functioning, but when the CPU reaches a certain temperature, the fan will start.
* The laptop is placed in the soft goods, such as: bed, sofa, may block ventilation openings affect the cooling effect and thus reduce operating performance, or even crash.
9, Maintenance of other components
Before cleaning and maintenance, be sure your notebook computer and related peripheral equipment maintenance in accordance with the following steps:
* Step one: turn the power off and remove the external power cord, removal of internal battery and all external devices connected line.
* Step 2: with a small vacuum cleaner connector, keyboard cracks and other parts of the dust sucked.
* Step Three: slightly moistened with a dry cloth and then gently wipe the cabinet surface, live in Italy ten million trickle Do not use any cleaning agents inside the machine to avoid a short circuit burned.
* Step Four: Wait for the notebook computer is completely dry in order to turn the power on.
A long time without using a computer, via the function keys on the keyboard temporarily only LCD screen, power off, screen life can be extended in addition to save power.

Important components of the laptop protection methods
The laptop is valuables, each of us to cherish and care for it, so
need to learn about protection methods Now Pcpartsltd.com give you sum
up some laptop hardware protection for your reference.
Laptop Motherboard
One of the most important hardware of the laptop computer is the motherboard, is also very easy to damage the hardware. The motherboard is damaged, a direct result of not be able to boot the notebook computer to replace than a desktop motherboard repair trouble. Motherboard problems, in many cases is short circuit caused by the IC. Generally detrimental to the motherboard, can only change the motherboard. Motherboard prices accounted for about a quarter of the whole machine, the one but the problem is a headache. We need to guard against is not to drain the liquid into the motherboard, but the most likely to commit errors. Do not flash the BIOS. In addition, the voltage is too high motherboard breakdown, is not uncommon. Electricity in peak demand or power outage just restored, when the thunder, the author recommends using battery-powered, do not directly connected to the AC.
Hard disk
Although seismic laptop hard drives than desktop PC hard drive, but he is still very afraid to throw. We are interested can take a notebook hard drive to see that on the label or prompt us to throw it scared. Why? Notebook hard drive is much smaller than Taiwan confidential, but the principle is the same, but also constitute a complex electronic components. Although the manufacturers of the earthquake resistance of the notebook computer optimization, but due to its composition, very afraid of the earthquake. Remind you, on a bumpy transport, do not use your laptop. Laptop on the table, be careful not to fall to the ground. Know, cheap notebook hard drive inside the data loss is a major event for us.
Laptop LCD Screen
The LCD screen is relatively weak, is a fragile product. LCD is made of glass and crystal, lamps, although the LCD organic cover protection, but the trend of thin notebook computer, this protection is very limited. Do not place heavy objects on the LCD, otherwise it would be layers of glass fragmentation. Laptop on the bags inner tube out, pay attention to not let laptop computers to run into a hard object. Not careful out on the ground, LCD is also often bear the brunt. One of the large LCD is also a notebook computer, accounting for the whole quarter, and damage is also very little can be repaired, only new ones.
Serial, parallel
These interfaces do not support hot pluggable, some careless brother shutdown, it is easy to string, parallel burned. What is more, resulting in short circuit board scrap. Although another series, parallel change a not too expensive, but the change is too much trouble. Some brothers may say, we almost do not have serial, parallel, and bad, then let his bad go. Laptop computers for engineering debug, then, these two interfaces can not be missing, and of no use when you need it but a very painful thing.
Touch pad and keyboard
Summer, our hands easier to clean. Use your fingers to operate the touch pad and keyboard, make the above coating to disappear soon, and seriously shorten the life of the long run ranging from laptop keyboard wear and tear, while in retirement. Turn on the notebook, we'd better wash your hands first.
CD-ROM
The original standard optical drive in more than a few hundred dollars, if the frequent use of CD-ROM drive to watch a DVD, then a year you drive may be faulty. I hope as little as possible with the CD-ROM drive directly to see the disc drive skinhead life is limited, use a little time, I hope we cherish its life.
In the process we use your laptop directly affect the hardware on these, they are easily damaged. The notebook computer is a sophisticated IT equipment, the vulnerability is not easy to repair. So we try to be careful when in use.

KT Spider Phone can Transforms Into a Tablet, Laptop, or Handheld Gaming Device?
Motorola’s Atrix and newly announced DROID Bionic smartphones can dock into laptop accessories,
but they have nothing on this transforming device: A KT Spider
smartphone hybrid that can turn into a laptop, tablet, or even a
PSP-like handheld gaming device.
The Spider Phone, developed by Korean company KT, runs Android 2.3.4 and has impressive specs as a smartphone alone. The large 4.5-inch screen has a very high 1280x800 resolution. Running on QUALCOMM’s 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Spider Phone also boasts 16GB of internal memory and full HD cameras.
The folks at tested the KT Spider Phone and docks out at IFA and say it’s one of the best things they’ve seen at the show.
The Spider will reportedly launch in Korea in November for about $600, with the gamepad accessory priced at $22, the tablet Pad at $300, and the laptop shell yet to be determined.

Stick it into the back of the Spider PAD, for example, and you’ve got a 10.1-inch Android tablet, with all your apps and settings already set up. Slide it into the laptop shell, and you have a full-size QWERTY keyboard with USB port. Or take advantage of Android games with the gamepad shell.The folks at tested the KT Spider Phone and docks out at IFA and say it’s one of the best things they’ve seen at the show.

Should I Remove My Laptop Battery to Increase its Life?
This is probably the best practice, but it is a hassle that most
people, myself included, do not want to bother with. My laptop spends
most of his time to the grid, with a fully charged battery inside.
Heat from the current computer can shorten laptop battery life. For that matter, does the heat from the battery to not do something good for the computer, either. And depending on how smart is your laptop on power issues, it can be draining and recharging the battery as it runs - which could carry it out further.
Therefore, the best practice is to make the most of their time working on AC power from the battery. Then, a few hours before you want to run the PC from the battery, take out the laptop, unplug it, put in the battery, connect the power cord and let it charge for a few hours. But really, who has organized enough to do?
So here is what I recommend: If your laptop is plugged probably for the next week or longer, turn it off, remove the battery and stick to the grid. (You should not remove or insert the battery while the laptop is turned on, even in sleep or standby mode.) However, if you use it unplugged with any kind of frequency, keep the battery
There's something else in mind: If you live in an area with frequent power outages, the battery is also protecting you from sudden crashes caused by the loss of power. In this situation, you should keep the battery in - or invest in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Sony VAIO E15 Laptop Computer Review
The Sony VAIO E15 is as stylish a mainstream laptop as you're likely to find. Starting at only $500 with a 15.6-inch screen
and state-of-the-art ports and connectivity, it's an inexpensive way to
impress your fellow humans with your astute judgment of things
computing, as well as your fine taste in design.
Though inexpensive in its least formidable configuration—which sports an Intel Pentium B970 CPU—the VAIO E15 may be configured with faster stuff up to about $1350 (Core i7). Our "nicely configured" $700 test unit has a Core i5-3210M CPU, 6GB of system memory, a CD/DVD burner, and a 5400-rpm, 750GB hard drive. Options include a Blu-ray player, but sadly, no 7200-rpm hard drives or SSDs.
It is most likely the slowish hard drive that held the E15 in check during our testing and hands-on. As the chart below suggests, a WorldBench 7 score of 87 is a little below average even for an affordable laptop, and its subjective feel (the speed of menus and windows opening, icons being drawn, and so on) is slightly sluggish until Windows has cached icons and the like. On the other hand, 1080p video plays very smoothly, and sound through the speakers is more sonorous than with most laptops, which is to say, it’s not grating. The 1.3-megapixel webcam gives a nice image as well.
Gaming frame rates delivered by the integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics are generally playable up to the 15.5-inch display's maximum 1366 by 768 resolution, but only in low detail; tougher games will require you to knock said resolution down a notch or two. The AMD Radeon HD 7550M discrete GPU that's available for either $100 (1GB of dedicated memory) or $150 (2GB of memory) will improve frame rates tremendously.
At 14.65 inches wide, 1.3 inches high, and 10 inches deep the VAIO E15 is a midsize laptop in every respect. It travels at 6.3 pounds (that includes the 0.9-pound AC adapter), and run time is an acceptable 4 hours, 14 minutes with the standard 4000mAh battery. You can increase that considerably (along with the weight) with the 5300mAh ($20) or 7950mAh ($100) batteries.
Ports on the VAIO E15 are a modern mix and include a single always-on USB 3.0 port, three USB 2.0 ports, and VGA and HDMI outputs, as well as a Kensington lock port, headphone and microphone jacks, and a gigabit ethernet port. Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi round out the connectivity, and the front has SD and Memory Stick ProDuo card slots.
The backlit Chiclet-style keyboard recessed into the upper deck of the VAIO E15 is large, covering nearly the entire width of the laptop. The spacing and layout are top-notch, including the 10-key numeric keypad, though Sony has yet to emulate the magical "feel" of a Lenovo laptop. It's easy to set up a typing rhythm on the E15's keyboard, but the short key travel is apparent, and you'll never feel quite as secure on it as with a Lenovo.
The one-piece rocker touchpad is responsive, perhaps too much so. I had a difficult time avoiding accidental taps and had to turn the feature off. Less clumsy individuals will probably be fine. Design flourishes include an Assist button that turns on the laptop and initiates the software recovery software, a Web button that does the same but with Windows and your favorite browser, and the Vaio button that launches the application of your choice.
Sony loves to load software onto its laptops. Some of it is useful, powerful, and/or necessary such as the Arcsoft Webcam Suite, Cyberlink PowerDVD, and Sony's own ACID, Sound Forge Audio Studio, and Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11. A lot of it such as the VAIO Gate launch application, VAIO Messenger, and VAIO Smart Network look nice but are really there to remind you which company's laptop you bought. Ditch the applets that duplicate functionality already present in the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system (Windows 7 Pro is an option), and it's remarkable how much quicker the E15 responds.
Sony's laptops are always more than the sum of their parts—a sense of style will do that for you. The VAIO E15 is no exception and will undoubtedly turn a lot of heads in the major electronics outlets. It's a great unit overall. Still, it would be even better if Sony offered a faster hard drive option.

The Question to ask before you choose to purchase a laptop
Are you considering a laptop? Have you ever owned a laptop? Do I look like an advertisement, you want the "X" button on would sound? Luckily I'm not advertising for any type of laptop you should buy, but will tell you how to choose a laptop.
In hereI think about some things in mind when buying a laptop should be about going to talk to.
What kind of laptop should I buy?
A question I get a lot of friends about how a laptop, select "What kind of laptop should I buy?"
There are so many different manufacturers and builds of laptops I can not give a clear answer.
So I tried to run through a gambit of issues and these questions one can ask when you price out a new laptop.
1). What do you plan to do it for you?
What is the one true purpose You have for wanting to buy a new laptop?
Is it to do word processing on the go? Photoshop out of the office or at home? Or just something that could happen, anywhere access to the Internet be? It can also be any combination of these things and other needs you might have in mind.
One of the most important answers to the question of "how to choose a laptop" is based in what you're going to do with it. Think about this before buying a laptop.
2) What is your price range?
Equally important in deciding how to choose a laptop is how much are you willing to spend on a laptop?
Now I will tell you flat out that I would honestly avoid 'find the cheapest "because they are met with disappointment.
It will not do what you need and it's probably something to you, while still under warranty will fail. The latter is an exaggeration, but it still makes sense.
Find a price range somewhere that all your needs are met in a laptop.
3) What operating system do I want to run?
Windows 7? Ubuntu Linux? Mac OSX? OSX is available exclusively on Apple hardware does not work, so do not expect to be an IBM, with OSX.
But a MacBook with Boot Camp comes pre-installed, will allow you to run Windows on it.
4) Are there other requirements that should be included?
Think of all the inner parts and outer parts.
Such things to think about hard drive space, memory, what kind of graphics card is built into it, what type of peripherals can be plugged into it, how many USB slots it has.
Specs are constantly changing, so do your research and ensure that internal and external components of your requirements in response to what you use the laptop for.
How to choose a laptop for business
Now assuming you buy a laptop specifically for your business. Chris had written an article on why to buy business computer instead of just consumers.
This is also a guide for you if you can use for a new laptop shopping.
Remember, business-quality computers built for eternity, have a 3 year warranty plan, on average, and have 24/7 support on the hardware.

How to choose a laptop that can be a difficult question. What are the things you have to consider?
