Love your notebook, but hate how slow it seems? You could spend hundreds sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery or even thousands of dollars buying a brand-new system, but you may not need to. A simple, sub-$100 upgrade can breathe new life into your aging laptop and allow you to delay purchasing a replacement for a year or more. Here are five of the best ways to make that old notebook run like new again. Upgrade #1: Move to a 7,200-rpm hard drive How To Buy It: Before you buy a hard drive, you need to make sure it’s the right size and interface for your notebook. Most notebooks sold since 2007 have 2.5-inch hard drives with SATA interfaces, but to be certain either contact your manufacturer or open your Device Manager, find the name of your current hard drive, and do a web search sony VGP-BPS9 battery to see what type it is. Then head online or to your local retailer to find a 7,200-rpm notebook hard drive. Most models will provide similar performance, but strive for a drive with plenty of onboard cache, preferably 16MB or more. Prices range from $45 for a 160GB drive up to $85 for a 640GB unit. Install It: If you have an external hard drive, you can use Macrium Reflect Free to create a full sony VGP-BPS9/S battery disk image backup and then restore it onto your new drive. Otherwise, you may want to buy a USB to SATA kit like the Apricorn DriveWire that lets you copy your whole system directly from the old drive to the new one. Once you’ve backed it up, it’s time to swap the Dell Studio 17 Battery drives. Turn off your computer and turn it over. The drive bay is usually located below a panel on the bottom of the notebook that is marked with a cylinder symbol. However, if you can’t find the bay, you may need to consult your instruction manual. Upgrading your drive is as simple as unscrewing and pulling the original out of the chassis, swapping its brackets or rails onto the new unit, Dell Studio 1737 Battery and then sliding the new drive back into the port. After it is installed, you’ll need to restore the disk image onto it. Upgrade #2: Upgrade Your RAM How To Buy It: Before you buy a RAM upgrade, you need to sony VGP-BPS13B/Q battery determine both what kind of memory you need and how many sticks to buy. Aside from your instruction manual, the best way to find out what type of RAM you need and how many slots you have is to use an online configurator like the one on Crucial.com. Most modern notebooks use either DDR2 or DDR3 memory and have one or two slots in total. Chances are that at least one of your slots already has a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) in it. So, depending on what’s in your computer sony VGP-BPS13/B battery now, you may need to buy only a single stick of RAM to put in an open slot, or you may need to replace one or both modules you have now so you can reach 3 or 4GB. A single 2GB DIMM costs between $35 and $50, depending on speed and brand. A 4GB kit costs close to $100. Install It: Consult your notebook’s instruction manual to find the location of your RAM slots. On most good battery notebooks, they are conveniently located behind a panel on the bottom of the notebook. Once you’ve accessed the RAM slots, just insert your new DIMM(s) at a 45 degree angle, while making sure the groove in the connector aligns with the slot. Once your DIMM is correctly inserted, clips batteries will pop into its side grooves. If you need to remove a pre-installed DIMM, pull the clips outward and it will pop out. PR |

Laptop trends. The future trends are now becoming clear: 3D displays, tablet PCs, matt display sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery panels and gaming laptops with ATI 5870 or Nvidias 4XX series hardware. Samsung is experimenting with its shark design, Medion is focusing on value for money gaming machines and Toshiba came with a tablet PC for 430 Euros. Notebookcheck was at the IFA 2010 to Sony VGP-BPS9A/B Battery examine the interesting new models being presented by Sony, Samsung, Packard Bell, Acer, Medion, MSI, Lenovo and Toshiba. In this article we take the opportunity to make a very brief summary of what, from our point of view, were the most imporant novelties presented by the manufacturers. Toshiba: Android based tablet, Folio 100 As far as the connectivity is concerned you will receive Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and WLAN (802.11 b/g/n). A 3G broadband HSPA module is available in the upmarket version. The connections consist of a docking port, 1 x Mini-HDMI, 1 x USB 2.0, SD/MMC card reader and 3,5 mm audio jack. Weighing sony VGP-BPS9/S battery in at 760 grams, Toshiba claims that one can expect 7 hours of battery life (consisting of 65% surf the internet, 10% playing videos and 25% on stand-by; according to manufacturer). The Folio 100 is an exciting product as it comes at a good price (from 430 Euros), it has a large display, an HD capable system (Tegra), and an HDMI port. The free Android OS will provide you with plenty of Apps. both now and in the future. Specifications of the Toshiba Folio 100 •Nvidia Tegra 2 Toshiba: Satellite R630 - Luxury subnotebook for consumers For those who are swooning Dell Studio 17 Battery over the Portégé R700 but can't afford the 1.599 Euro price tag, you might want to consider the Satellite R630 consumer model which looks and feels the same. At 1.4 kilograms it is just as light as its more expensive family member and also includes the optical drive. Cost: 999 Euro (Satellite R630-12G) or 1.149 Euro (Satellite R630-13J). The display is non-reflective. If you are now asking yourself why one would consider buying the expensive R700, then you are probably not looking for features like a docking port and HSDPA-Modem (3G) which are not included in the R630. Specifications Satellite R630 •Intel Core i Prozessor i5-450M, 2.4 GHz Toshiba: Nvidia 3D now with upscaling and one less cable For 1.549 Euro, the A665-11Z gaming version comes with a powerful Geforce GTS 350M as well as a i7-740QM processor (2.93-GHz-Turbo). The F60 is more of an entertainer than a gamer and has to settle for the Nvidia GT 330M. There is a choice of CPUs which includes Dell Studio 1535 Battery the Core i7. Both models are supplied with a 3D Toshiba Video Player, which converts 2D films and images to 3D. This is to compensate for the current lack of real 3D movies while also putting the old 2D movies in a different light. As one might expect, native 3D material can also be played using the Blu-ray 3D player which can then be presented on a 3D TV using HDMI. Specifications Satellite A665 3D •Intel Core i7 (Quad Core) •Intel Core i3, Core i5 / Core i7 (Quad Core) Samsung: Galaxy Tab in 7-Zoll Whether the Galaxy Tab stands a chance in this price category, and whether it can reduce Apple's current hold on the market, will depend on the Apps. and the mobile service providers (bundles and subsidies). Apple currently has the best Apps., but this could change quickly as more and more Android based phones and tablets enter sony VGP-BPS13/B battery the market (see Toshiba Folio 100). Specifications Samsung Galaxy Tab •Quad-Band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz), W-CDMA HSDPA/HSUPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS Samsung: A "Great White" for trendsetters – SF/NF series The SF510 is a 15.6" laptop in a streamlined housing (13.3" version SF310). Samsung is indeed the first manufacturer that is willing to take on such a daring design, and stray from the norm in such a way. As far as performance is concerned it finds itself in the lower middle class with a Core i3 and Nvidia GT 310M. Samsung emphasizes the 7 hour battery life. The speed it has is noticeable however when one finds the OS up and running within seconds Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery of initiating a Fast Start. In this instance, it does not start up from standby as one might expect, but from the "off" position. Specifications Samsung SF510 •Intel Core i3 Prozessor 370M (2.4 GHz) Samsung: RF710 home entertainer featuring the powerful Nvidia GT 420M With its two optional 500 gigabyte hard drives, the 17.3" RF710 can provide up to 1 terabyte toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery of storage space. The reflective LED display cannot reach the highest possible level of resolution however, falling short at 1.600 x 900 pixels (HD+). A Blu-ray player is included though. The RF models are meant to look classy both on the inside and outside in order to justify the 999 Euro price tag (Core i5, GT 330M configuration). The brushed stainless steel "look" (lid and Touchpad), with a subtle hint of color is meant to give the RF710 a futuristic appearance. Specifications Samsung RF710 •Intel Core i5 Prozessor 460M (2.53 GHz) Packard Bell: HD 5850 gaming machine in arctic silver This esthetically, Dell Vostro 1510 Battery unassuming laptop (Aluminum lid, arctic silver), is equipped with a subwoofer, Blu-ray writer and the latest Bluetooth 3.0. In addition, the full version of Adobe Photoshop Elements is included as well. The EasyNote LX86 has prices starting at 999 Euro. Specifications Packard Bell EasyNote LX86 •Processor: Intel Core i7-720QM Packard Bell: Butterfly S - Core i5 with aluminum "look" Specifications Butterfly S •Processor: Intel Core i5-520UM, 1.06 – 1.86 GHz (Turbo-Boost) Acer: Aspire One D255 with Dual Core Atom Specifications Aspire One D255 •Processor: up to Intel Atom N550 2 x 1.5 GHz Medion: X6811 gaming machine with Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M The 1599 Euro configuration has its OS installed on a 160 GB Intel X25-M SATA solid state drive, with files being stored on the mechanical 640 GB drive. This should ensure that the installed OS and the games can get the fastest possible access the necessary files. Other than that, the configuration is the same, consisting of a 740QM processor and a FullHD panel. The MSI uses the barebone of this 15.6" laptop for the GT660R and the GX660R. The colors, some estethic details and the function keys differ however. Medion does without a turbo button, as well as "cooler boost". Whether the ERAZER X6811 will be equipped with a RAID 0 controller, or whether this could be activated is unknown at this time. Specifications Medion ERAZER X6811 •Intel Core i7-740QM, 6 MB, 1.73 GHz, Turbo-Boost •Further Intel Core i processors Medion: 15.6", P6627 with Nvidia GeForce GT 420M Medion consdiders the P6627 to be a work horse and a mutimedia wizard. The HD resolution of 1,366 x 768 is pretty standard however, and there is no subwoofer either. The Medion AKOYA P6627 will be available in Germany, in 3 configurations, from October 2010. With this laptop, Medion provides an alternative for those who can live without a dedicated graphics card. Specification MEDION AKOYA P6627 •Processor up to Intel Core i7-620M – 2,66 GHz, 4 MB MSI: FR600 with 3D display MSI did not say much concerning the possible specifications during the exposition (Core i3). Even though the manufacturer has chosen the FX600 as the barebone for this model (which we have already tested), to run with its FR600 3D, it would not wrong to assume that the overall configuration will not favor gaming activities. Our test unit was using a GeForce GT 325M and a Core i5-450M. AMD: AMD line up of various brands The Vaio EE2M1E has an Athlon II P320 2x 2.10 GHz (from 640 Euro), and the Lenovo Z565 does its processing with a Phenom II X4 N930 4x 2.00GHz with 4 cores (from 690 Euro). The HP Pavilion dv6-3050sg masters it tasks using a Phenom II X2 N620, which may only have two cores, but they run at 2x 2.80 GHz (from 690 Euro). And there is also the Acer Aspire 5551G which has a 3 core Phenom II X3 N830 3x 2.10GHz (from 635 Euro). Aldi laptops such as the Medion P6512 are placing their bets on the Athlon X2 P320 2x 2.1 GHz. This small but impressive selection seen on the AMD exposition stand, really showed that AMD based systems are once again available on the laptop market in wide variety of makes and models. |

Port master Seagate has overhauled its range of external 2.5-inch hard drives, VGP-BPS9/B and at the same time developed a new system for connecting up ports. It gives you a great number of options, with USB 3.0, eSATA, FireWire 800, USB 2.0 and LAN adaptors. We took a closer look at how it works. 761 Gramm.We'll take one ultra-light VGP-BPS9A/B mini, preferably small and without too much on the side. Those who are satisfied with basic notebook features but are still looking for striking exterior are right on target with the 11.1 inches. Sony already presented the VAIO X-Series, an ultra mobile subnotebook which made the hearts of design oriented VGP-BPS9 and extravagant users jump for joy, back in September '09. Weighing only 761 gram (including battery), the light and wafer thin mini notebook was meant to appeal to buyers for whom aesthetics and bit of bravado are important. The producers spoke of "fans of aesthetics with premium standards". Why has this dwarf landed once again in the editorial office after only a year? Sony VGP-BPS9/S has upgraded the atom processor; in place of an Atom Z540 (1.86 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 512 KB Cache), a Z550 (2.0 GHz, 533 MHz, 512 KB) is now housed in the thin case. Can the overly weak and faulty performance noted by the editorial staff back then be noticeably improved? What category does the X13D7E fall into? Netbook or Subnotebook? We want to find out in this review Studio 17 Battery whether or not the fairly high price tag of 1.400 Euro is fair for the 11.1 incher when compared to current netbooks and subnotebooks. Case The Vaio X is as high as some of the display panels on our test notebooks are wide. The mini measures 13.9 millimeters and weighs Studio 1737 Battery in at only 761 grams. Also, the sharpened edges clearly indicate that we are dealing with a very light subnotebook. The sides of the lid and base unit are not just vertical, but rather come to a point towards the upper edge. Thus our finger always finds the gap when opening the lid of the 11.1 incher. The producer opted for matte surfaces. The case is made out of painted carbon Studio 1535 Battery fiber (work space, top surface) and plastic (base plate, battery and TFT frame). The base plate appears to be painted with a matte finish in order to provide more grip. The top sides, such as the palm rest and the lid, feel smoother, but they are still dull-feeling surfaces. Carbon fiber is considered both unbreakable and resistant VGP-BPS13B/Q to pressure whilst still being light. Carbon fiber is nevertheless also flexible. In auto racing, the material is layered in dozens of plies and arranged both length-ways and cross-ways (forming hollows) thus achieving a high strength of the material. The Viao X is made out of one such type of carbon fiber though there is little room for extra outer-layering due to its thin design. This would VGP-BPS13/B of course make the case thicker, making it impossible to maintain its ultra-slim form. For that reason the chassis and the lid are still very flexible. We don't want to use the word fragile as carbon fiber is, after all, not "breakable". However, there are design related weaknesses which could have been minimized in spite of the flexible material. The removable battery situated under the palm rest creates a gap lengthwise across the base unit. Because of this, the chassis loses valuable rigidity. The gap is always in motion (creaking sounds) when handling and raising the 11.1 incher. With good battery the solid built-in battery, the chassis could have maintained quite a bit of stability. In that case, the base unit would be closed. Connectivity The Vaio X doesn't have many connection battery ports as these would simply be too big for the minimal dimensions of its case. An Ethernet port for example is 12 millimetres in height. How is such a port supposed to fit in a 9 millimetre high base unit? Sony’s solution for this is a flip-down LAN connection, which can also double as an Ethernet port. Being only 8 millimetres high, the VGA port was lucky. The USB 2.0 also fits in the case, but only on the left hand side. However, Sony battery did not want to forgo its two cardreaders (SD+HG Duo) and for this reason they placed them directly under the Touchpad. In order for the battery to fit underneath, the battery cell was divided and is connected via a cell connector. Sony’s 11.1 inch is a typical backup subnotebook for managers and therefore batteries of course also has an integrated 3G Modul (HSUPA-Module (7,2 / 5,76 Mbit/s) for internet access when underway. The slot for the sim- card is located under the battery. |
