The NB550D netbook appeared on Toshiba Germany‘s website this Sony VGP-BPS13 Battery week carrying a sparkly new 1GHz AMD C50 APU.

You may recall the AMD Ontario family Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery of next-gen netbook chipsets comes complete with video graphics on the CPU die. In the case of the NB550D, the C50 APU includes Radeon HD 6250M video graphics (along with other specs like 1GB of DDR3 RAM and 250GB shock Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery absorbing HDD).

The added graphics muscles will certainly help power the NB550D’s HDMI output, as Sony VGP-BPS9A/B Battery well as its two-channel audio from the separated Harman-Kardon speakers that reside in the netbook’s palm rest.

Over in the battery life department, Ontario sucks down Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery just nine watts of power and Toshiba estimates the NB550D to last 9.5 hours of run time.

At $9.99 a month for the Premier option, Rhapsody is a solid value, giving you unlimited access to an impressive 10.6 million-Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery song catalog of on-demand streaming music and downloads, lots of programmed radio stations, and online or offline listening on mobile devices Sony VGP-BPS8 Battery (mobile downloads are currently supported on Android, the iPhone, and the iPod touch). We also love that the extensive editorial content is Sony VGP-BPS8A Battery integrated into the mobile and desktop services, with easy access to artist info and much more. Bonus: If you want to buy the MP3 of a song, you can get it at the Rhapsody MP3 Store, without having to log into another service. Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q Battery Premier Plus offers music downloads to three mobile devices.

You can create your own playlists or have Rhapsody create an instant playlist for Sony VGP-BPS13B/B Battery you based on songs you've played or rated. Sharing playlists on Facebook, Twitter, or via e-mail is simple, and you can make them public in your user profile, which others can see via Rhapdsody's Community Sony VGP-BPS13B/Q Battery feature.

Rhapsody Community is very well designed, letting you add users as friends and see what they've Sony VGP-BPS13A/S Battery been listening to recently. We like that you can easily add your friends' music to your own queue or playlist, and you can create Sony VGP-BPS13/Q Battery an instant playlist from friends' recent plays. We wish you could search for people by name/e-mail or add friends via Facebook.

Rhapsody is very versatile, thanks to its extensive hardware compatibility and massive catalog, and we love the depth provided by Sony VGP-BPS2 Battery the well-integrated editorial content. The social component is a very good start, and we hope Rhapsody continues to Sony VGP-BPS2A Battery develop it.

The very isolated keyboard layout provided good tactile Sony VGP-BPS2B Battery feedback and key placement that makes typing on it a breeze. However, you will notice that the keyboard has no function keys, but instead has dedicated keys for forward, back, refresh, full screen mode, change windows, brightness up, Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery brightness down, mute, audio up, audio down, and power on/off. The caps lock key has been replaced a search button, because Google Sony VGP-BPS21A/B Battery says it wants to discourage all-caps typing

There are numerous keyboard shortcuts which match Sony VGP-BPS21/S Battery those you would find in the Windows version of Chrome. These include such as CTRL + H to see the history, CTRL + W to close a tab, and CTRL +/- to zoom in and out. You can see a complete list of these by hitting CTRL + Sony VGP-BPS21 Battery ALT + ?.

The touchpad does not have built-in buttons, but like many notebooks these days, is itself a Sony VGP-BPS21A Battery button. In our experience most clickpad designs, apart from the MacBooks, are unpleasant to use particularly if you like to navigate with one Sony VGP-BPS21B Battery finger and click with another. The Cr-48’s clickpad alternated between making our cursor jump and stopping it mid-movement. Pinch-to-zoom didn’t work either. As we expected, right-clicking doesn’t do anything. To finish the Sony VGP-BPS22 Battery review, we had to plug-in an external mouse.

True to Google’s word, initial set up takes only a minute or so. After you power on the Cr-48 for Sony VGP-BPS22A Battery the first time, you’re asked to configure your Internet connection by selecting a Wi-Fi network, then you’re asked to agree to the Sony VGP-BPS13B/S Google EULA, and finally asked to login with a Google account and given the option to take your picture with the webcam so the picture can accompany your Sony VGP-BPS13S login.

When it came to logging in, we noticed two interesting flaws. First, the system did not recognize any Google account we used Sony VGP-BPS13/S with a username that did not end in @gmail.com. When we tried to login with our laptopmag.com address, which is a registered Google Apps Sony VGP-BPS13AS user account, or with another Yahoo address that’s registered with Google, the system said our account could not be laptop battery located.

Screen
The 12.1-inch screen has a 1280 x 800 resolution, which is extremely rare on notebooks these days but a welcome improvement hp battery over the nearly-ubiquitous 1366 x 768 panels we see every day, because it allows plenty of vertical screen real estate for viewing web pages. The screen’s sony battery matte surface allowed it to provide really strong viewing angles to the left and right.

Ports
There are very few ports on the device. On the right side is dell battery an SD card reader, an audio-out jack, and a USB port. On the left is a VGA port. As stated above, storage devices and memory cards work for uploading files to the cloud, but do nothing else. We were able to attach both a wired and a wireless ibm battery mouse to the USB port and both worked pretty well.

If you don’t have a valid Gmail account already, you hit a bit of a wall at the login prompt, fujitsu laptop akku because there’s no way to create one during setup. If you don’t already have a valid Google account, your best bet is to walk over to your nearest toshiba laptop akku non-Chrome OS device, visit Google.com, and create your account there before continuing.

First Acer, then MSI, now Toshiba co-signs next-generation accelerated processors from Intel’s chipset dell laptop akku rival AMD.

Notebook Italia points out that the Intel Atom version of this netbook can stand on its acer notebook akku feet for 10 hours. That’s a little less, but a 30-minute drop-off isn’t too shabby when you throw in the performance boost from Radeon apple notebook akku graphics.

Despite the fact that the Toshiba NB520, a different config of the NB550D, launched in Singapore earlier this ibm notebook akku month, there’s still no word on stateside availability for any versions of the machine, but we’ll see what comes out of CES hp notebook akku next week.

Rhapsody has been around for 10 years, and through partnerships the service is widely available sony notebook akku on iPhone, Android, and Blackberry smart phones; MP3 players from Apple, Philips, and SanDisk; as well as a whole host of home audio asus notebook akku hardware including Denon Systems, Logitech Squeezebox, Philips Streamium, Sonos, and Tivo.

The desktop interface sparkles, with plenty of easily accessible features, info, and listening recommendations right on the fujitsu notebook akku homepage. The mobile interface is also uncluttered and easy to navigate. Downloads and streaming content sounded very good in 128Kbps MP3 format, toshiba notebook akku though a high-fidelity option for downloads à la MOG would be nice.

The Radio feature lets you choose from 200 stations programmed by a dell notebook akku 15-member editorial staff. The selection is outstanding, with a wide variety of imaginatively named subgenres such as "Acoustic Dawn" and "Big Hair." We found it to acer battery be a fun method of music discovery.

Who doesn't like a price cut? When we last visited the MSI X series, the Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery 13-inch X350 offered plenty of style and long battery life but weak integrated graphics for a high price of $999. Now MSI has switched to Sony VGP-BPS13 battery AMD's Fusion processor and lowered the price to $649 ($749 with 8-cell battery), promising beefier graphics and even longer endurance. Sounds like a steal on paper, but is this ultraportable machine really a Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery bargain?

The spacious 3.5 x 2-inch touchpad felt comfortable when Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery navigating the desktop, and we had no trouble scrolling with two fingers or using pinch-to-zoom in the browser. The silver mouse bar has a slick faux Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery brushed metal look, but the button itself felt a bit loose.

After playing a Hulu video for 15 minutes, the area near the X370's front-edge vent reached a warm 100 degrees Fahrenheit Sony VGP-BPS9A/B Battery but other parts of the system stayed fairly cool. The touchpad climbed to 96 degrees, and the underside registered a borderline 89 sony vgp-bps8 battery degrees. The keyboard (between the G and H keys) was a harmless 81 degrees. We consider anything above 95 degrees Dell Inspiron 1440 Battery uncomfortable.

Starting on the right side of the X370 are two USB 2.0 ports (the only two on the system), a headphone and microphone jack,HP ProBook 4520S Battery and a power plug. The left side houses a VGA port, an Ethernet jack, and an HDMI port, while a 2-in-1 card reader sits on a HP EliteBook 2730P Battery downward sloping recess.

Design
Slim and stylish, the MSI X370 definitely stands out. The HP EliteBook 2530P Battery top lid is a glossy black plastic with a honeycomb pattern that does a decent job of hiding smudge marks, while the undercarriage is made from a single sheet of sturdy midnight black plastic. We especially like the ridge-textured palm rest. hp elitebook 8730w battery Also made of plastic, this area flexes under pressure but looks good when paired with all the chrome-painted trim surrounding the hp elitebook 6930p battery touchpad.

At a slim 13 x 8.8 x 0.8 inches and single hand-friendly 3.4 sony vgp-bps10/s battery pounds (with the 4-cell battery), the MSI X370 is the exact same size as its older sibling, the MSI X350. An 8-cell battery adds a little less than half a pound for a final weight of 3.8 pounds, plus about a quarter of an inch in resting height. Unless sony vgp-bps10a battery you're going to a meeting or you're near an outlet, you'll definitely want the larger battery (more on battery life below). Of course, nothing compares to sony vgp-bps10a/b battery the 0.68-inch thickness and 2.9-pound weight of the 13-inch MacBook Air, but that notebook costs $550 more.

The mildly glossy black keyboard on the Satellite L655D includes a sony vgp-bps10/b battery full number pad and was comfortable for typing. While the keyboard is roomy enough, we would have liked it better if Toshiba had shrunk down the lesser used Alt, Windows, and highlighting keys instead of the hp probook 4515s battery spacebar.

While we never missed the spacebar, it felt cramped. Likewise, hp probook 4410s battery we would have preferred inverted function keys so that we didn't have use a combination of the "Fn" key and the function or number keys to do simple tasks such as dimming the screen or muting the hp probook 4510s battery speakers.

While the Satellite L655D's touchpad looks small, we found its hp probook 4710s battery 3.25 x 1.6-inch size to be large enough to use comfortably. The matte finish provided just enough roughness for easy and accurate control. In addition to allowing scrolling using the right side of the touchpad, the touchpad also allows for hp elitebook 8730p battery multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.

Recessed into a shallow, oval well, the rounded mouse buttons overhang the edges of the L655D's hp elitebook 8540w battery touchpad by about half an inch on each side. Compared to the diminutive size of the touchpad, the mouse buttons are huge Dell Latitude E5410 Battery but responsive.

The MSI X370 offers an island keyboard with firm tactile feedback. Like previous MSI X-Series Dell Latitude E5510 Battery notebooks, though, we wish the right Shift, Enter, and Backspace keys were a little larger. On some occasions we hit the Up Arrow Dell Latitude E6410 Battery key instead of Shift.

The 1.3-MP webcam captured decent video despite the need to adjust contrast and gamma settings to correct for Dell Latitude E6510 Battery washed-out skin tones and abrasive light distortions.

Apple has two strong 13-inch notebooks to entice shoppers, and one of them just got a lot hp elitebook 8530p battery stronger. While the 13-inch MacBook Air ($1,299) emphasizes portability and instant gratificaiton via Flash memory, the new 13-inch hp elitebook 8530w battery MacBook Pro ($1,199) is all about speed and extra-long endurance. The latest version boasts a bevy of new components and abilities, including a second-generation Intel Core i5 processor, a FaceTime HD webcam, and Thunderbolt sony vgp-bps13b/s Battery high-speed connectivity. The much-loved unibody aluminum chassis remains, along with the outstanding backlit keyboard and glass touchpad, sony vgp-bps13b/b Battery all for the same price. So how much better is this 13-inch MacBook Pro than its predecessor, and what do you sony vgp-bps13as Battery give up?

Users will also find the same black Island-style keyboard and large multitouch touchpad that have graced previous models. sony vgp-bps13a/s Battery Chiseled from a single block of metal, the MacBook Pro feels extremely sturdy. One drawback is that the MacBook Pro's battery is sony vgp-bps13/s Battery not replaceable, at least not without Apple tech support. Also, the chassis can scratch easily if exposed to sharp objects, making a sony vgp-bps13s Battery custom-fit cover a smart investment.

Despite its metallic construction, the MacBook Pro mainly kept its cool on our heat tests. After playing a Hulu video Dell Latitude D420 Battery at full screen for 15 minutes, we measured a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit at the center of the keyboard, while the notebook's underside Sony VGP-BPS22 Battery returned the same reading. The touchpad was cooler at 80 degrees. The bottom back end of the 13-inch MacBook Pro did get toasty, logging Sony VGP-BPS22A Battery a temperature of 109 degrees; we consider anything over 100 degrees cause for concern.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Folks familiar with the MacBook Pro know that its keyboard is one of the best around. The laptop's big square keys sony vgp-bps21a/b battery have a soft finish and are arranged in an island-style setup, offering plenty of spacing. They also make little sound when hit, yet provide a sony vgp-bps21 battery satisfying click. Equipped with an ambient light sensor, the keyboard is backlit as well, one of the advantages the 13-inch MacBook Pro has over the sony vgp-bps21b battery 13-inch Air.

The 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro is virtually identical to its predecessor. Slim with its iconic curved lid, the aluminium unibody sony vgp-bps21/s battery chassis exudes premium build quality from all angles. Measuring 12.8 x 8.9 x 1 inches, and weighing 4.6 pounds, the new machine has the same sony vgp-bps21a battery dimensions as before but is a fraction heavier (0.2 pounds). Of course, the 13-inch MacBook Air (0.7 inches thick, 2.9 pounds) Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery makes the Pro look heavy by comparison, but this 13-incher still slips into bags easily and is relatively easy to carry.

Like MacBook Pros before it, the current version has a vast 4.1 x 3-inch touchpad that doubles as one massive button. Frankly, toshiba pa3535u-1brs battery it's the gold standard; it let us glide our fingers across it with minimal friction and intuitively press down to make selections. We never Lenovo thinkpad r61 battery missed the lack of a discrete mouse button, or even two.

Design of the Cr-48
The Cr-48 won’t be available to consumers and Google has Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery already stated the systems its partners launch in mid-2011 will not use this exact design or hardware. However, there are several things about this test system we found interesting, because they may inspire the final Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T410 Battery products.

First, we were amazed at how MacBook-like the Cr-48 is in its design. The chassis is rounded Lenovo thinkpad t500 battery and shaped like a last-generation plastic MacBook, its keyboard has the same size, shape, and nearly identical layout to a MacBook’s, Lenovo thinkpad t61 battery and even the hinge, which sites in the middle of the chassis, takes its cues from a MacBook.
We love the black, soft-touch rubberized material that is used throughout the chassis and wish more products were made out Lenovo thinkpad t60 battery of it. Laying your wrists on the soft touch palmrest is a pleasant Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery experience.

At 11.8 x 8.6 x 0.9 inches the Cr-48 is a very comfortable size for your bag or holding on your lap, Lenovo thinkpad t60p battery but its 3.8-pound weight seems a bit heavy for a system this size.

The full gamut of familiar multitouch gestures are here as well. We easily Lenovo thinkpad r60 battery used two fingers to scroll up and down through webpages and zoom in and out of photos and documents. With four digits we pushed all windows out of the way for a clear view of the desktop, and with three fingers swiped our way IBM thinkpad r60e battery from app to app.

Though the official release of its cloud-based Chrome OS is months away, Google has begun a massive laptop battery pilot program, offering specially-chosen end users, Google employees, and journalists their own prototype Chrome netbooks. Known as the Sony Laptop Battery Cr-48 (for the element Chromium 48), these particular 12.1-inch laptops will never be sold commercially, but they offer a very detailed preview of what we can expect from the first Chrome systems when they launch by mid-2011. So what’s HP/Compaq Laptop Battery it like living in a browser-only PC?

Editor’s Note: Because the Cr-48 netbook is a test product that is not for sale commercially (and never Dell Laptop Battery will be), we’re not giving it a star rating.

Yeowan Yun: The central concept lies in the idea of the flowing arch. Essentially, Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery I wanted to express the sophisticated beauty of a flowing line. With these lines, the feeling of speed and power is maximized. Looking at the Sony VGP-BPS13 battery sleek and slim side of the product I believe you can find a natural flow, which was styled to add an aerodynamic feel to the product. These lines provide a speedy feeling and sleek style like a premium sports Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery car.
Who or what gave you inspiration for this Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery product?

We’ve noticed even with netbooks and budget systems Samsung strives for eye-catching design. Are the less-expensive Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery systems going to go more toward the aesthetic of the 9 Series?

Y: When we design our products, we strive for two objectives. The first is design with Sony VGP-BPS9A/B Battery humanism, the second is design that has storytelling in it. When we design our products, we don’t focus on the first impression sony vgp-bps8 battery of the product, per se, we focus on the experience that the user will have while actually using it. We want it to be a discovery process, where the user continuously discovers something that they like about the product and sony vgp-bps13b/q battery feel that they’re using a Samsung. The ultimate objective of our designs is to complete the lifestyle of the users.

The folks over at Engadget have posted a hands-on preview of the version of Mac sony vgp-bps13a/q battery OS X Lion that was released to developers last week. While this isn’t the final version of Lion, it does give a pretty good indication as to sony vgp-bps13/b battery what we can expect when the full version is released this summer.

We already know that Apple’s making Lion a lot more iOS and iPad-like and the developer preview confirms that. sony vgp-bps13/q battery The touchpad is now used for a whole slew of gestures using anywhere from one to four fingers. While it looks like many of Apple’s previous gestures Sony VGP-BPS10 Battery such as two-finger scrolling and two-finger right click have remained, there are new uses for your digits. Most notably, two-finger horizontal Sony VGP-BPS2A Battery swipe can be used to navigate forward or backward in Safari and a three-finger swipe to open Mission Control.

Y: In this high end market, we’re focused on a very flat form type of design. There’s a specific design language that we want to Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery use for the high-end products. But for the mainstream budget products the design language and methodology may be a bit different Sony VGP-BPS2 Battery because the users are also different. When we look at the 9 Series and other notebooks in this similar segment, we’ll probably Sony VGP-BPS2B Battery go towards this type of design approach [you see here]. That’s the basic direction. But, of course, we strive for design excellence in both areas.

You talked about design language — what do you want Samsung high-end notebooks to say to Dell Latitude E5410 Battery consumers?

Ever since we got our first glimpse at CES, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the Dell Latitude E5510 Battery Samsung 9 Series, one ultra-slim ultraportable. The 9 Series is thinner (0.64 inches), lighter (2.89 pounds) and arguably better looking than the Dell Latitude E6410 Battery MacBook Air. Starting at $1,599, this luxury machine also has some features Apple’s offering doesn’t, including a backlit keyboard and a SuperBright Plus display that beams out 400 nits and offers 160-degree viewing angles. The flowing lines Dell Latitude E6510 Battery of the 9 Series take aesthetic cues from a sports car. And this notebook is strong, too: It’s made of Duralumin (the material used to make advanced Lenovo thinkpad x60 battery aircraft), which is twice as strong as aluminum.

Y: The concept has been inspired by all manner of natural flowing IBM thinkpad X60S battery elements such as waterfalls, streams and rivers, as well as flowing manmade structures such as arches.

Why did you choose Duralumin for the 9 Series? Where there Lenovo 3000 v100 battery any challenges?

Y: Duralumin is a strong, reliable, Lenovo 3000 v200 battery and lightweight material normally used in advanced aircraft. Therefore we strongly believed Duralumin would be a wonderful material to use for a premium laptop.

In striving for a thinner notebook there were several challenges to overcome — most notably the complex manufacturing process as Lenovo 3000 n100 battery a result of it being such a strong material. In terms of the assembly, the LCD is not a separate piece, it’s one module from the beginning. Lenovo 3000 n200 battery As Duralumin hasn’t been used for commercial laptops previously, we also had to undergo an intensive testing process until we were happy Lenovo 3000 c200 battery with the final feel and coloring of the material.

We had a chance to sit down with the 9 Series lead designer, Yeowan Yun, to Lenovo 3000 y410 battery get some insight on the making of this dream machine.

What is the key design concept of the 9 Lenovo r51e battery Series design?

Mission Control is another one of the new features in Lion. It gives a high-level view that essentially combines Lenovo r50e battery both Expose and Spaces, and Engadget thought it might be most useful to power users, unlike LaunchPad. Taken almost directly from iOS, LaunchPad gives Lenovo x300 battery users an easy way to view all of their apps in one place.

Lion also utilizes a Time Machine-eque system for Lenovo x200 battery saving and backing up files called Versions and Auto-Save. While there wasn’t much to test it on, Engadget used TextEdit and found that it saved time stamped copies of a file, much like Time Machine does with your whole system.

In a letter sent to members of Congress, Facebook stated that they would be implementing tools to ensure users have IBM thinkpad t40 battery control over which applications have access to this information. Facebook provides the example of a game like Farmville prompting users IBM thinkpad t42 battery with a pop up page asking users if they can access their contact information.

Facebook said it is not sure when it will relaunch IBM thinkpad t43 battery the feature, but based on the speed with which facebook moves, it won’t be too long before Farmville is sending digital goods solicitations to your mobile phone.

Last month started out string and ended with a new crop of MacBook Pros — definitely a great way to end the hp compaq nx6125 battery winter. We reviewed a total of 13 notebooks and netbooks in February, and 7 of them scored 4 stars or more with three earning the coveted Editor’s hp compaq nx7300 battery Choice. We also want to give a special shout out to the Alienware M17x, the first notebook to earn a 5 star rating from us hp compaq 6720s battery since 2005!

After originally back peddling on a controversial move to give third party sites access to sensitive user information , hp compaq 6715s battery Facebook is putting the pedal to the mettle and moving forward with the initiative. As part of the plan, third party sites will now be granted access hp compaq 6715b battery to more of a users personal information, specifically phone numbers and addresses.

What do you think of when you see a sticker hp compaq 6710b battery proclaiming "Quad Core Processor" on a notebook? Speed and power, right? The 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5164RD has such a sticker on its keyboard deck that alludes to the Phenom II processor inside. Coupled with 4GB of RAM, ATI Graphics, hp compaq 6510b battery and a 640GB hard drive, it sounds like this $659 notebook is capable of great feats for the price. Read on to find out how much oomph hp compaq nc6120 battery you get for your money.

Heat
The Satellite L655D registered mostly cool temperatures. After hp compaq nc6400 battery playing a 15-minute clip from Hulu at full screen, the touchpad was just 85 degrees Fahrenheit, the space between the G and H keys reached a presario cq50 battery slightly warmer 89 degrees, and the underside was 90 degrees. The hottest spot--the bottom near the vent on the left side--was a still-acceptable 95 degrees. Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery

Unfortunately, we noticed that the L655D's fan ran very loudly for long periods of time, even without any programs open. presario v6000 battery While the notebook stayed cool, the fan noise was very distracting. Dell Laptop Battery

Design
Like many of Toshiba's Satellite notebooks, the L655D features its Fusion finish, which has laptop battery a subtle, circular checked pattern underneath a glossy finish on the plastic lid and keyboard deck. Our system came in Helios Red, which is Sony Laptop Battery characterized by dark, brick red hue. It's also available in Helios White, Helios Brown, and Helios Grey. The red is offset by the glossy black finish of the keyboard, a strip where the power button and speakers reside, and the screen bezel. The underside HP/Compaq Laptop Battery of the notebook is a basic matte black plastic.

Solide Leistung
Wie im Marktsegment der Netbooks üblich, setzten auch die Acer Aspire One 721-Modelle auf eine eher schwache CPU. Anstelle Akku HP Pavilion DV2000 des sonst weit verbreiteten Intel Atom-Prozessors tritt in den Acer Aspire One 721-Modellen allerdings eine AMD Athlon II Neo-Akku HP pavilion DV9000 Zentraleinheit K125 an. Die bietet neben einer Taktfrequenz von 1,7 GHz ein MB L2-Cache. Damit die Arbeit zügig von statten geht, haben Akku HP Elitebook 8440p die Entwickler den Minirechner bereits werksseitig mit 2.048 MB Arbeitsspeicher ausgestattet. Das Betriebssystem Windows 7 Home Premium muss mit allen installierten Programmen und Daten auf einer SATA-Festplatte abgelegt werden, die modellabhängig Akku HP Probook 4520s ein Fassungsvermögen von 160 bzw. 250 GB bietet.

Vielseitiges Display
Der glänzende Bildschirm des Acer Aspire 1825PT/Z bietet eine sichtbare Diagonale von 11,6 Zoll und Akku HP compaq 6715b lässt sich um 180 Grad drehen, um das Subnotebook in einen digitalen Notizblock zu verwandeln. Besonders akkuschonend wirkt Akku Compaq 610 sich die LED-Hintergrundbeleuchtung des Displays aus, das mit einer maximalen Auflösung von 1.366 x 768 Bildpunkten betrieben werden kann. Da der Bildschirm für die dauerhafte stationäre Arbeit am Schreibtisch etwas klein ist, kommt dem Anwender die Akku hp Pavilion dv6 HDMI-Schnittstelle zugute, über die sich das Bildschirmsignal auf einen externen Flachbild-Fernseher umleiten lässt. Für die analoge Bildübertragung Akku hp ProBook 4720s steht natürlich auch ein VGA-Port zur Verfügung. Für die Pixelarbeiten ist im Aspire 1825PT/Z die Onboard-Lösung Intel Sony vgp-bps13s GMA 4500MHD zuständig.

Stromsparende Leistung
Genau wie der Bildschirm erweist sich auch die CPU-Ausrüstung des Aspire 1825PT/Z als besonders energiesparend. Acer stattet Sony VGP-BPS13S den mobilen Rechner mit einem Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100-Prozessor aus. Der legt eine Taktfrequenz von 1,3 GHz vor und bietet neben zwei MB Sony VGP-BPS13/S L2-Cache einen 800 MHz schnellen Frontsidebus. Der CPU stehen bei der Arbeit 4.096 MB DDR3-SDRAM zur Seite. Für die Sony VGP-BPS13B/S Speicherung von Daten bietet das Aspire 1825PT/Z-Nutzer eine SATA-Festplatte mit einer Speicherkapazität von 320 GB. Ein optisches Laufwerk ist im flachen Gehäuse des Rechners nicht zu finden, aber extern Sony VGP-BPS10/B nachrüstbar.

Gute Ausstattung
Die Minirechner der Acer Aspire One 721-Serie sind mit einem Multiformat-Kartenlesegerät KaufenAkkus.com ausgestattet, das alle gängigen Speicherkartenformate verarbeiten kann.

Außerdem verfügt der schicke Rechner über einen drehbaren Bildschirm, der das Notebook Lenovo Akku auch als digitalen Notizblock nutzbar macht.

Keyboard and Touchpad
One of the sacrifices you make on the NB505 versus the NB305 is that you don't get a VGP-BPS13 chiclet-style metal keyboard. This less expensive netbook has plastic keys that are closer together, and some keys (such as the right Shift and Enter) VGP-BPS9/S are shrunken. Still, we found the typing experience comfortable. The terraced keys offered strong tactile feedback.

Measuring 3.1 x 1.5 inches, the mini NB505's Synaptics touchpad provides plenty of room for navigating the desktop. VGP-BPS13A/B Pinch-to-zoom gestures worked well both in the browser and with photos. However, we sometimes zoomed in on a document accidentally when our left VGP-BPS13A/S palm brushed up against the touchpad while typing. In addition, two-finger scrolling was a bit jumpy.

The two black mouse buttons on the mini NB505 are among the VGP-BPS9A/B best we've used. They're large and easy to press without being mushy.

When holding the Atrix 4G in portrait mode, microUSB and mini HDMI ports sit along the lower left side. On the right are volume VGP-BPS9/B controls, while on top is a headphone jack and a fingerprint reader that doubles as the power button. There's no dedicated camera button. VGP-BPS9 The fingerprint reader/power button is a little hard to press, but this does ward against accidental activation.

While it's not quite as hi-res as the iPhone 4's Retina VGP-BPS13AS display (960 x 640 pixels), the Atrix 4G's qHD screen is very bright and crisp. Web pages displayed sharp images while hi-res YouTube videos possessed lots of brightness and vivid colors. Viewing angles are on a par with other big-screened VGP-BPS13/S devices such as the Evo 4G and the Droid X, with image quality deteriorating as you angle the display away.

A smaller column on the right shows you friends on Quora and Facebook, and lets you send a VGP-BPS13S message to your followers. The content of the sidebar changes depending on what's in the main column. For example, when you click through to a VGP-BPS13B/S question or topic in the main column, the sidebar displays related questions, gives you the option to follow the topic, lets you share the question via Facebook or e-mail, and displays stats, such as how many people have viewed the VGP-BPS13A/Q question.

Questions are organized by tags called Topics; for example, a question about an iPad app VGP-BPS13/B would have tags for Apple, iPad, and iOS. Each Topic has its own page with a wiki-style FAQ and settings to manage and organize the topic. Just as with VGP-BPS13B/B questions, you can follow topics to receive updates via e-mail or on the site.

Overall, we found Quora's text-heavy design a bit overwhelming. Initially it seems easy enough to navigate, but the amount VGP-BPS13B/Q of text displayed, particularly on popular topic pages, quickly became too much. Other services, such as Yahoo Answers and Aardvark, offer more VGP-BPS13/Q visual appeal and a balance between information and the UI.

Although more and more consumers are flocking to VGP-BPS8 tablets as their secondary computing device of choice, netbooks still have some advantages. In the case of the Toshiba mini NB505, the biggest edge is its low price. For $299, Toshiba's low-cost alternative to its dual-core, aluminum-clad NB305 features VGP-BPS8A plenty of battery life and a stylish EasyGrip finish that protects your investment. Not bad for a Windows 7 machine that costs $200 less than the cheapest iPad. VGP-BPS2 But how much value does this netbook really deliver?

Design
The mini NB505 makes a good first impression VGP-BPS2A despite its rock-bottom price. This 2.6-pound netbook sports an EasyGrip finish on the lid that's available in multiple colors. Ours came in turquoise, but you can choose from blue, brown, green, and orange. We really like the rubbery feel of the lid, VGP-BPS2B although some may prefer the blue aluminum top on the NB305.

Can you use your phone as your PC? Motorola's Atrix 4G makes the case. While the VGP-BPS2C phone itself is impressive--a high-resolution qHD screen, Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM--when it's paired with the Laptop Dock, the real future VGP-BPS21A/B of smart phones is seen. Sporting an 11-inch display, keyboard, and touchpad, the Dock not only lets you use the phone's Android apps, but also has a full Flash-enabled browser to watch Hulu videos, stream music, and type in Google Docs, to boot. Sure, VGP-BPS21/S it's innovative, but how well does the Atrix 4G work?

Design
As a handset, the Atrix 4G is thin and light, measuring just 4.6 x 2.5 x 0.43 inches. Despite VGP-BPS21 weighing a scant 4.76 ounces and being less that half an inch thick, the slate-style phone makes room for a big 4-inch qHD (Quarter High Definition) display VGP-BPS21A with an ultra-sharp resolution of 960 x 540 pixels.

Sculpted from black plastic, the Atrix feels almost weightless in your hand but doesn't feel as sturdy as the unibody aluminum VGP-BPS21B construction on the HTC Inspire 4G. Above the Atrix' screen is a front-facing VGA camera. Four capacitive keys below--Menu, Home, Back and Search--VGP-BPS22 are backlit in white and handle the usual Android tasks. On the back of the phone is the 5-megapixel camera and a flash, with a speaker occupying the VGP-BPS22A bottom edge. You'll find the SIM and microSD card slot tucked away behind the battery cover, which is pretty easy to pry off.

The dimpled pattern continues on the black palm rest of the mini NB505, but this surface has a harder matte plastic surface laptop battery instead of soft-touch paint. Nevertheless, we like the unified look. What we don't like is the recessed power button in the middle of the display hinge; hp battery it's too difficult to

Measuring 10.3 x 7.5 x 0.65-1.4 inches, the mini NB505 sony battery slipped easily into our backpack, even when sharing space with a 14-inch laptop. Although the six-cell battery creates a small bump on the bottom of the netbook, it doesn't get in the way. We also appreciated the rubber feet on the bottom dell battery of the system, which prevent slippage on a desk.

The mini NB505 won't heat up your lap, either. After playing a Hulu video for 15 minutes, ibm battery the netbook registered temperatures 85, 85, and 90 degrees between the G and H keys, on the touchpad, and on the underside of the chassis. We consider anything dell akku above 95 degrees to be uncomfortable.

Using Quora

The first time we clicked on "Add Question," Quora made us take a little quiz to make sure we knew ibm akku how to properly format our query. It was a little annoying, but it only took a minute or two, and we never saw it again.

The Atrix 4G boasts a fingerprint scanner that also hp akku doubles as the phone's power button. Users can enable this extra layer of protection within the usual Android security settings to augment their PIN or password. The setup process required us to register our index fingers on both left and right hands, but it took only 5 sony akku minutes. Afterwards, we successfully used our finger swipe to unlock the handset, which is much easier than using a password. At this time, you can't use the asus akku fingerprint sensor as a way to log into websites.

Design & Interface
At the top of Quora's homepage is a text box that's apple laptop akku used to both ask questions and look up answers. (Confusingly, the box to its right says "Add Question.")
