While not as large as a desktop replacement, the size and bulk of the 5745DG means it's not going VGP-BPS9/S to travel much. It tips the scales at 6.2 pounds, around the average for a 15-inch system. Its 9-cell battery protrudes out the bottom towards the rear, and VGP-BPS9 while it angles the system towards you--making typing more comfortable, it raises the height of the notebook to 2.3 inches.

Heat
Having a spacious underside means that the 5745DG stayed fairly cool. After playing a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, VGP-BPS9/B the touchpad and the G and H keys reached 92 degrees, but the middle of the bottom stayed a cool 85 degrees.

Sadly, our iPhone 4G couldn't even access the above URL for file sharing on the MiFi 2372. Our iPhone VGP-BPS9A/B returned an error message that said: "Safari cannot open the page because it is a local file."

While PC makers initially targeted laptops with 3D displays and glasses at gamers, VGP-BPS13 Acer is hoping to widen their appeal to all sorts of entertainment seekers. Priced at $999, the Aspire 5745DG is the least expensive 3D notebook we've tested that uses Nvidia's impressive 3D Vision technology. Powered by a VGP-BPS13A/B Core i5 processor, this 15.6-inch system can also output 3D content to a compatible TV via its HDMI connection. So is this multimedia machine really a vgp-bps13b/q bargain?

The left side of the Envy 17 3D is the real trouble area. We can vgp-bps13a/q accept a fan that blows 120-degree air. But after we played Call of Duty for 10 minutes, the left Shift and Caps Lock keys were a blazing 125 degrees. That's disturbing.

The Envy 17 3D has a chiclet-style keyboard and number pad that stretch across the 16-inch chassis. On the Ten Thumbs Typing vgp-bps13/b Test, we typed at a fast rate of 94 words per minute, even with little practice on the keyboard. In addition to the keyboard's backlighting, we like that the keys have a vgp-bps13/q soft finish and make little noise when you type. We also appreciate that you don't have to press the Fn key to access media controls in the function row VGP-BPS10 of keys.

The Envy 17 3D has a large 4.2 x 2.5-inch touchpad which doubles as a clickable button. Although we've given HP's touchpads much flack PA3399U-1BAS in the past for being either jumpy or having too much friction, the Envy 17 3D's was easier to use. Occasionally, the cursor jumped slightly--it's PA3534U-1BRS worse for those who use two hands--but for the most part we had little problem moving the cursor to specific spots on the screen. The dell studio 17 battery integrated touch buttons were always easy to press.

Display and Sound
For the non-3D version of the Envy 17, HP offers a BrightView Infinity display, which has a 1600 x 900 resolution, standard dell studio 1737 battery viewing angles, and a 60-percent color gamut. However, the 3D comes with a higher-res Ultra BrightView Infinity display, which has 1920 x 1080 dell studio 1535 battery full HD resolution, wide viewing angles, a 72-percent color gamut, and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The notebook also packs ATI's Eyefinity dell latitude e5500 battery multi-display technology, which lets users connect up to three external monitors, provided one is attached via mini DisplayPort.

Now that you can use a smart phone as a hotspot, it's natural to wonder why you would carry a dedicated gadget just for that purpose. dell latitude e6400 battery Novatel's MiFi 2372 makes a pretty good case for the category's staying power. This compact modem ($49 with a two-year contract) not only lets dell latitude e6500 battery you share AT&T's 3G data with up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices; you can easily see your signal strength and battery life right in dell latitude e4300 battery your browser, as well as access a handful of widgets and applications powered by Novatel's MiFi OS. Besides, AT&T doesn't offer any smart phones yet with a hotspot app. So how good is the MiFi 2372's speed? And how well do Novatel's dell vostro 1510 battery apps and widgets work? Get the full scoop below.

Design
With a glossy black front and soft-touch back, the MiFi 2372 is somewhat bulkier than the MiFi devices dell vostro 1310 battery available for Sprint and Verizon. It measures 3.9 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and weighs 2.9 ounces, compared to 3.5 x 2.3 x 0.4 and 2.1 ounces for the Dell inspiron 1545 battery earlier EV-DO version. The chrome accents around the sides are nice, but the device feels less sturdy than the Verizon and Sprint MiFis. Plus, we noticed that the AT&T logo started to rub off after a week Dell inspiron 1525 battery of testing.

When we watched Blu-rays on the Envy 17 3D, we were impressed by the level of detail. As promised, Dell latitude d630 battery the display was bright, too, and the colors were true. We were also able to watch movies comfortably from the sides and even with the lid pushed Dell studio 15 battery far forward, but that required us to dim the lights; with the lights on, the display was too reflective to watch at wide angles. We also wish HP included skip buttons on the keyboard; if you want to skip chapters in a DVD or Blu-ray, Dell latitude d620 battery you have to use the touchpad and touch buttons.

The Envy 17 3D's speakers, which are tucked discreetly onto the front lip of the notebook, are powered Dell xps m1330 battery by Beats audio technology. When listening to music or playing games, we were impressed with the fidelity and power of the speakers. Not Dell inspiron 6400 battery only were sounds crisp and bright, but there was plenty of low-end bass, too. We liked that you can also tweak equalizer settings using the Beats audio control Dell inspiron 1501 battery panel.

The top of the MiFi 2372 houses the power button, and there's a Wi-Fi indicator up front that tells you when the device is ready Dell inspiron e1505 battery to connect. It blinks once you're connected. Unlike the Sprint Overdrive, the 2372 doesn't display the signal strength or battery meter on the hardware Dell vostro 1000 battery itself, though that would add extra bulk. Around back you'll find a microSD card slot for sharing files (more on that below) and a microUSB port Dell gd761 battery for charging.

There's even a local search widget, powered by Google, that leverages the MiFi 2372's GPS capability. The MiFi 2732 found Dell latitude d830 battery our location in New Jersey within a few seconds, and we were able to search for a local Starbucks and then get directions (though a separate browser Dell inspiron 1520 battery window opened at that point). Strangely, refreshing this widget caused it to go blank, and only refreshing the entire page forced it to Dell vostro 1500 battery come back.

We also successfully loaded the MiFi's landing page from an iPhone after we connected to the Dell inspiron 1720 battery 2372 from that handset. The widgets took longer to load than they did on our notebook, but it's nice to know that they display on mobile devices. In Dell xps m1530 battery order to see your text messages and access the MiFi's settings, you need to sign in each time you connect, which is annoying. Novatel promises a software update in March that will fix this Dell xps m1730 battery issue.

File Sharing
The MiFi 2732 has a microSD card slot for a reason. You Dell inspiron 1420 battery can use it to share files, whether it's documents, photos, or music. To access a microSD card's contents inserted in this mobile hotspot, you have to type file://///192.168.1.1/mifi in the browser, something we wouldn't have known unless we Dell vostro 1400 battery visited AT&T's online tutorials. Once we did that on our laptop, we could see the card and drill down into various folders. Accessing these folders took longer Dell CF623 battery than we'd like, as we noticed a delay of a few seconds or more with each click. The MiFi 2732 would probably be more responsive if it had an 802.11n Dell xps m1210 battery connection instead of 802.11g, but this lag could also be a function of the device's CPU.

As with earlier MiFi devices, getting connected to the MiFi 2372 was a cinch. You just turn it on, and then you'll see the hotspot show up in Dell latitude d610 battery your laptop's (other gadget's) list of wireless networks. Enter the password and off you go. You'll just have to be patient if you're powering the Dell KD476 battery MiFi 2372 on before connecting. The device took about 50 seconds to establish a connection from a cold start.

MiFi OS
What makes this modem unique is the MiFi OS, which Dell 1525 Battery allows you to access a home page for the device (http://attmifi) that displays the battery life and signal strength right up top. Having this information always available is really convenient. This page also provides access to widgets for seeing how many devices are Sony Laptop Battery connected, sending and receiving text messages, and checking your data usage. A weather widget displays the current conditions based on your Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery location (if you have the GPS setting enabled), as well as the forecast--but just for two days.

Still, it was neat to be able to stream photos and music from the MiFi to our HP/Compaq Laptop Battery notebook. Videos are another story. When we tried to play a 720p WMV file on our notebook, both the picture and audio stuttered so much the clip was Dell Laptop Battery unwatchable.

Design
There's nothing really remarkable about the 5745DG's design. Its glossy black lid picks up fingerprints, but a subtle striped metallic good battery pattern adds some visual flair. The rest of the somewhat boxy chassis is a gray plastic, and the palm rest is made to look like brushed toshiba laptop akkus aluminum.

Go big or go home. That's the mantra of the HP Envy 17 3D. dell laptop akkus This large but stylish desktop replacement features an Intel Core i7 processor, powerful ATI graphics, a 3D-capable, full HD display, and a Blu-ray player. Starting at $1,599 ($1,649 as configured), the 3D version of the notebook costs the same as a similarly hp laptop akkus equipped non-3D version we reviewed just three months ago. Sounds like a sweet deal. But how does this machine stack up to laptops powered by fushitsu laptop akkus Nvidia's 3D Vision technology? And is there enough 3D content to make donning those glasses worth the trouble? Our in-depth review acer battery reveals all.

Editor's Note: Portions of this review were taken from our earlier review apple battery of the HP Envy 17.

At 7.5 pounds, the Envy 17 3D is a reasonable weight ibm battery for a notebook this size, but you likely won't carry it often (and then, you'll need the AC adapter, as you'll see in the battery section). With a maximum height of 1.5 inches, the Envy 17 3D also feels thick, especially compared to Apple's 17-inch MacBook sony battery Pro, which is just 0.98 inches.

The Envy 17 3D has a chiclet-style keyboard and number pad that stretch across the 16-inch saus battery chassis. On the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, we typed at a fast rate of 94 words per minute, even with little practice on the keyboard. In addition to the toshiba battery keyboard's backlighting, we like that the keys have a soft finish and make little noise when you type. We also appreciate that you don't have to press the Fn key to access media controls in the function row dell battery of keys.

Design
The Envy 17 3D shares the same minimalist-chic design as the smaller Envy 14, including hp battery a rock-solid taupe chassis made of aluminum and magnesium. A few touches, such as a paisley-esque pattern of raised bumps on the lid and palm rest and HP's glowing fushistu battery logo on the lid, mark this as a premium laptop. Between the machine's durable feel and details such as quiet keys (more on that later), the Envy 17 3D feels like a luxury acer akku laptop.

The Envy 17 3D has a large 4.2 x 2.5-inch touchpad which doubles as a clickable button. Although we've given HP's apple akku touchpads much flack in the past for being either jumpy or having too much friction, the Envy 17 3D's was easier to use. Occasionally, the cursor jumped slightly--it's ibm akku worse for those who use two hands--but for the most part we had little problem moving the cursor to specific spots on the screen. The integrated touch buttons were sony battery always easy to press.

While the Envy 17 we reviewed in September stayed relatively cool, we noticed much warmer temperatures on saus akku the Envy 17 3D. After playing a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, the touchpad stayed a chilly 84 degrees Fahrenheit, but the space between the G and H keys was a dell akku very warm 105 degrees, and the middle of the underside was 100 degrees.
