If you’ve ever shopped for a laptop, you know that the factors to consider go far beyond performance and connections. Notebook buyers have to think about such additional variables as size, weight, screen dimensions, battery life, and keyboard quality–plus options such as built-in wireless. Here are some recommendations for specifications that will fit the needs of the average user.

A 2.0-GHz Core 2 Duo processor. For everyday work–word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail–you don’t need the latest, greatest (read: “most expensive”) processor, but thankfully, with the Core Duo, you get strong performance and great battery life.

2GB or more of memory. Anything less will slow your work. The only new machines that still carry less than 2GB of RAM are netbooks. Upgrade to a 64-bit OS if you want to carry more than 3GB on your laptop.

Supplemental battery. If you want more time away from an outlet, buy a higher-capacity supplementary laptop battery when you purchase the laptop, or buy a notebook that has a modular bay capable of holding a supplementary power pack. Secondary laptop batteries usually cost between $99 and $200.

A 13.3-inch wide screen. A screen larger than 12.1 inches permits higher resolutions. Unless you’re pinching pennies–or you crave a tiny laptop–bigger is usually better, especially on your eyes. (Compare prices for laptops with screens that are at least 14.1 inches in size.)

A 160GB hard drive. Even some netbooks that cost under $500 are bundling a 160GB hard drive (granted, they spin slowly at 4200 rpm). So if you can get a large hard drive in your unit, do so. And as tempting as a solid-state drive may sound, it’s an expensive choice for relatively little storage capacity.

A touchpad pointing device. Pointing devices are a matter of taste. Most people, however, find a touchpad easier to use than a pointing stick. For people who can’t decide between a touchpad and an eraserhead pointing device, some notebooks include both. If you buy one of these, make sure that it provides two sets of mouse buttons–one for the touchpad and the other for the eraserhead–so you don’t have to stretch to reach.

Multiple USB ports. Many laptops now come with two or more USB 2.0 ports, useful for connecting more of the latest peripherals.

All-in-one design. Unless you need a lightweight notebook, opt for one with an internal bay for the optical drive. This design enables you to swap in other devices, such as an extra hard drive or a second laptop battery.

After selling 120,000 iPads on the first day of pre-orders, Apple has just posted details on its iPad  battery replacement service Apple Powerbook G3 Battery, which is really not a battery replacement service at all Apple iBook G3 12-inch Battery.  Check out the company’s opening lines:

Battery Replacement Service – iPad: Frequently Asked Questions

What is iPad Battery Replacement Service?
If your iPad requires service due to the battery’s diminished ability to hold an electrical charge, Apple will replace your iPad for a service fee.

Note: Your iPad is not eligible for Battery Replacement Service if the product has been damaged, for example, as result of an accident, liquid contact, disassembly, unauthorized service or unauthorized modifications, or if the product is not operating correctly as a result of a component failure. Please review Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for further details.

How much does it cost?
The service costs $99, plus $6.95 shipping. The total cost is $105.95 per unit.
All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

How do I arrange iPad Battery Replacement Service?
Battery replacement service may be arranged via your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, or you can contact Apple Technical Support. Please do not send any accessories with your iPad.

Will the data on my iPad be preserved?
No. You will receive a replacement iPad that will not contain any of your personal data. Before you submit your iPad for service, it is important to sync your iPad with iTunes to back up your contacts, calendars, email account settings, bookmarks, apps, etc. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information when servicing your iPad.

How long will it take to receive my replacement iPad?
If you arrange service by calling Apple Technical Support, you can expect service to be completed within approximately one week from the time you send your iPad to Apple.

Apple is actually saying that it won’t bother cracking open your withered iPad, replacing the battery and sending it back your way; instead, you’ll pay $99, plus $6.95 shipping fee for a completely different iPad, which certainly has its pros and cons. Apple M8416 Battery, On one hand, you’re getting a new (or potentially refurbished, actually) iPad, Apple iBook G3 14-inch Battery,  but on the other, you’ll be waving goodbye to every morsel of personal data on the device that you send in — unless you backup beforehand, of course Apple M8511 Battery.

Replacing iPad battery in this way,  for Apple Apple M8403 Battery, it’s a pro, ’cause no other manufacturer like battery manufacturer can share its market; but for consumers, it’s a con, it’s very inconvinent to spend around a week just for a battery replacment, and Apple may miss your data and it may send you back a refurbished iPad.

The Armada E500, the best-equipped Compad laptop sells, boasts Intel’s top notebook processor, two modular bays, a 15-inch screen that supports 1400-by-1050 resolution, and convenient shortcut buttons. Because both the floppy and optical drives are removable, you can reconfigure the E500 in several different ways with extra-cost add-ins. For example, the notebook can hold as many as three Armada E500 laptop batteries at once for up to 9 hours of outlet-free computing, according to Compaq (we didn’t test that claim, but we did get an impressive four hours out of a single laptop battery). Each extra battery costs $184. Alternatively, if you don’t need the extra E500 battery life or internal drives, you can plug both bays with included hollow travel bezels and lower the notebook’s weight from over 8 pounds (including AC adapter) to about 6.5 pounds, which makes it light for its class. Other bay options include a 4X/4X/20X CD-RW drive ($399), SuperDisk LS-120 drive ($199), or second hard drive (up to 12 GB for $399). Compaq’s lighter-weight corporate notebook, the Armada M700, can use the same devices, so companies can save money by sharing notebook modules. The E500’s four shortcut buttons–for launching favorite applications, files, or Web sites–also are a helpful extra for multiple users. You can save an unlimited number of shortcut sets under different names, such as “Dave’s project,” and switch among them using the notebook’s Easy Access utility.

WHAT’S NOT: Though most users won’t notice the difference, the E500 lagged the average of PIII-850/700 notebooks we’ve tested running Windows 2000 Professional by 3 percent.

WHAT ELSE: The industrial-looking E500 is neither the handsomest nor the most traditionally designed corporate notebook we’ve seen. With its boxy profile, plain keyboard, large, bulbous screen latch, and vented back panel, the E500 looks more like a ruggedized laptop. Most of the ports are crammed on the right side and the back, with the left side of the notebook left oddly bare. But overall, it appears to be a well-built, capable machine. It allows easy access to both drives and memory (to free the hard drive, just remove one screw on the bottom of the notebook). DVD movies looked sharp and bright on our test machine, and music CDs sounded clear and adequately loud for a notebook. The volume toggle on the front of the notebook works smoothly and quickly. A composite video-out port lets the notebook use a TV screen as an external display, and pop-out tilt feet add typing comfort. Compaq includes utilities for managing the E500 across a network. Documentation covers the basics; you also get ergonomics advice in a separate Comfort and Safety Guide, and a Getting Started and Troubleshooting manual. In late October, Compaq recalled 55,000 batteries from E500 and V300 customers after one notebook overheated and smoked. (We didn’t notice any problems with our test machine.) . If you qualify for a Compad Armada E500 battery replacement, go to http://www.yobattery.com/compaq-laptop-battery/armada-e500.html, where offers many compaq laptop batteries, including Compaq Presario 2100 Battery, Compaq M700 battery, etc.

BEST USE: The decked-out Armada E500 would make a reasonable choice for companies looking for a fuller-featured notebook to complement the thin-and-light Armada M700. However, both these notebooks are expensive compared with similarly equipped competitors, such as NEC’s LXi and SXi lines. The E500’s only unique advantages are its three-battery capacity and multiple-scheme shortcut buttons.

According to the media reports, Apple iPad have not met competitors, but as Google may unveil Google Tablet with Chrome the operating system (Chrome OS), Apple may start to worry the challenge from Google Tablet.

While no one publicly stated Google will produce Tablet with Chrome operating system in the near future, but the possibility becomes bigger and bigger.

Earlier last week, one about how Tablet PC works appears in the Chromium official blog. Although the company soon pointed out that these patterns only “concept UI” interface, which has been familiared. Google Tablet, likes Apple iPad, can set the kind of virtual keyboard, can also achieve multiple simple functions such as: surf web, check e-mail, edit office documents, etc.

Although the theory of images and video does not mean real-world success, but Google Tablet will remain the Apple iPad’s competitor. Google Tablet is not only With general flat-panel functions, but also has a strong corporate support, and the company has provided people with reliable and satisfied services.
The most important thing is, Google Tablet PC network operating system makes it even more revolutionary product, as Apple’s successful that launch of the Tablet PC, Google Tablet Could be a big threat for Apple iPad. The reasons as below:

1. Google Tablet from Google
If only a unknown small company developes Tablet PC with new network operating system, to compete with Apple, it would face an uphill battle. However, Google is the search giant, it knows how to be successful in the high-tech industries, it also fully recognizes that consumers are looking for a touch device. Google is a company worthy of Apple’s worries.

2. multi-tasking
The main problem Apple Tablet PC is its lack of multi-tasking capabilities. If you want to work quickly switch to another page to read news, he firstly needs to close the current page. This is a serious problem, while the Chrome Tablet as its propaganda, it can be multi-tasking at the same time, this is a great advantage.

3. The important effect of network
Chrome operating system offers several luxury features, including off-site storage and so on. With more and more software to join, users will choose a more convenient operating system to network more often. Chrome operating system can do it, but Apple operating system can not.

4. Chrome operating system is designed for lightweight computer
Chrome operating system currently can not compare Windows 7 and the Mac operating system. But Chrome operating system is mainly designed for netbook users, this means this operating system must featured simple, easy to use, and its simple design as particularly suitable for tablet PC users.

5. Google knows how to play the role of touch technology
With Google’s Android platform unveiled, Google has demonstrated its ability of touch operating technique can be applied freely. Google can be said is unique company that can “Copy” iPhone multi-touch operating technology, if Google will use this technology in its Tablet, it is definitely a tough challenge for Apple.

6. Apple iPad is not a groundbreaking product
Steve Jobs wants the world to belive that the iPad in every respect can be called a revolutionary product, but in fact, it’s not. There were several Tablet PC have been long on the market, whose functions can comp completely compare with iPad’s. iPad still has a number of “negligence”, Google can take this as a breakthrough to get more market share to Chrome Tablet.

7. The Internet is a application store
One of the major advantages of iPad is Apple’s application store, Apple announced that it has more than 140 thousand kinds of applications available for download. But Chrome Tablet has sufficient strength to “beat” iPad in this field  – Chrome operating system itself does not need too many applications, the vast Internet world is the greatest store of applications.

8. Built-in software
When launch the iPad, Apple also launch the improved iWork, which can allow users to Apple’s launch of the iPad also improved after the introduction of iWork, it can allow users to the efficient management software suite in iPad – but the problem is iWork is not the best interactive office software. While the Google Docs launched by Google is completely different, which is considered the best interactive web-based office software in nowadays market.

9. Google has price advantage
Google’s Chrome operating system is designed for portable computer, therefore Chrome Tablet PC is doomed to low price.

10. Universality is the key
Chrome OS possess an advantage, but also the Apple’s biggest drawbacks – Chrome can be applied to any computer. Apple’s software can only be applied to iPad, but the ChromeOS can be widely used in Dell, HP, Lenovo and other brands of computers. If more computer use Chrome OS, then Google will get more market share.

Security function

Configuration mode:
1. Hard Confidentiality: users can set their own hard drive password, it can be set in BIOS set-up process of the Security menu, so that it will firstly ask for your hard drive password in the system boot process. In this way, when your hard drive by others, if he does not provide your password, it will not be able to use this drive and can not boot, so that can ensure that data will not be stolen.

2. System security: also set to a group of user passwords in the BIOS setup process of the Security menu, so that in every boot, or when you enter the BIOS setup process will ask the system the administrator password. In this way, can prevent unauthorized users from operation of your computer.

If you set the above two kinds of password, the system at boot time, will firstly ask the hard drive password, then ask your system password (password can be set to two different numbers). Remind you to set the finished your password, you should keep your password, if lost, you need to contact the manufactorer support of your laptop.

Soaking treatment

* Do not rashly start up the laptop, otherwise will damage laptop even more seriously
* Immediately removed laptop’s power cord and battery, if an external or removable module components (such as CD-ROM, floppy disk machine, expanded memory) should also be removed.
* Pour out the water in the laptop as far as possible, gently wipe the mud with damp paper towel or soft cloth gently to avoid wear and tear the surface.
* Then dry the laptop body and parts with fan, and then send it to the service station with trained professional engineers as soon as possible, so as to reduce the damage to minimum.

Use the laptop outdoor

* Step 1: Make sure all backup rechargeable battery power are full, you can look at the operating system, battery display.
* Step 2: Turn off the notebook computer power switch.
* Step 3: The LCD screen cover off and determine the superstructure faithfully stuck position.
* Step 4: unplug the AC power cord.
* Step 5: unplug all cables.
* Step 6: The special backpack laptop into the dust in order to avoid contamination and collision to happen, and pay attention not to laptop-specific backpack too many items placed in order to avoid the crush liquid crystal display glass.

Keep  a good energy saving habits

Through the implementation of the battery power when operating power, if able to maintain a good energy-saving habits, on the one hand can not only reduce energy consumption, on the other hand can extend battery life. Therefore, even if you have the laptop to switch to built-in power-saving features turned on, however, the following energy-saving cultivation management practices is also very important, please be sure to keep in mind.

* As much as possible the use of power adapter

To save battery power the most obvious thing to do is: whenever there are available for use when AC power, to avoid the use of rechargeable batteries. As the transformer small size, light weight and very convenient to carry, it is often possible to use the power adapter when you really need to use batteries on hand at any time, there will be a rechargeable battery fed.

* Use hot keys to suspend

Suspension hotkeys in notebook computers is the most useful, and if a temporary leave, just press this button, you can make a computer system access to the most power-saving mode. When you return, press any key (standby mode), or the power switch (sleep mode), can make the system back to the original location of ongoing operations.

* Screen Brightness

Liquid crystal display screen, the more light, the more power consumed. Therefore, in order to have a longer battery life, please avoid the screen brightness setting even higher than necessary. In addition, when you temporarily do not use laptops do not want to shut down, you can light the LCD screen closed, will be able to save up to power.

* Floppy and CD-ROM

Floppy disk drive and the drive of these two peripherals will consume considerable battery power. Therefore, when your computer is battery-powered executive job, as little as possible the use of floppy and CD-ROM. 4. Easy Troubleshooting

Q: I ask if the machine crashes after warm boot can not be forced to shut down how?
A:
1: Please hold down the power switch row 4 to 6 seconds can be forced to shut down
2: Available paper clip? Sharp objects from the machine’s reset (Reset) can pierce holes.

Q: Will not boot when the machine what to do when the basic testing steps?
A:
1. If the transformer connected immediately after boot, said the battery.
2. Check whether the LCD liquid crystal screen display according to the switches or LCD liquid crystal screen display toggle button.
3. Check whether the external memory caused by
4. Remove the battery is only through the external power supply turn, and try to press Reset button to restart

Q: Will enter the standby (or sleep) mode, unable to respond to system and detection of possible reasons for the steps?
A:
Standby (or sleep) mode definition:
Standby (Stand By): When the system enters this mode, allows the system and applications will perform the state stored in the memory (RAM) which, this time using only a small amount of computer power to maintain the system data memory state; may be a key that is reversible execution status.
Sleep (Hibernate): When the system enters this mode, allows the system and application stored on the hard drive will perform the state in the storage area, this time the computer has the power to cut off; to get back to the implementation of the state need to press the power switch reply.

The causes may make the system cann’t be recovered:

1. External memory failure: If the wrong data into the memory address will not restore the right after the result into the implementation of the state.
2. External peripheral devices are not compatible: for example, part of the external USB storage devices, memory cards (Compact Flash MMC Smart Media) and other disk structure is more special, making it easy to enter Standby (or sleep) mode can not be cut off the power or reply.
3. The driver or application procedures are inadequate: the driver can cause inappropriate. All,. Sys, and. Exe file refused to go into standby or hibernation mode, in addition, for example, applies to Win 98 application Win XP installed on them, due to application and unable to meet the operating system power management features, is also likely to cause the failure of the phenomenon of reply.
4. Operations Manager failure: Currently, Microsoft’s operating system power management mode ACPI mode (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), its power configuration is  managed by the operating system, however if there are problems with the operating system, it will effect on the power configuration.

Detection steps to test wether can recover the system :

1. Remove the external memory card.
2. To remove external peripheral devices and their drivers.
3. Updated BIOS.
4. Update the appropriate driver.
5. Remove inappropriate applications.
6. Re-install the operating system.
7. Send laptop to manufactorer factory for testing.

Q: How to extend battery life time?
A:
1. Adjust LCD screen to an appropriate brightness.
2. Adjust the volume to an appropriate number.

The purpose of data backup

Notebook because of their easy maneuverability, is users’ the best accompany partner, but your laptop may be a result of the following conditions cause data loss, result in a standstill, such as: accidental deleted or overwritten, the hard disk is damaged, the computer damage caused by viruses, natural disasters (flood, fire), machinery stolen so that data loss …. and so on, may make your data into the invisible injury.

However, the importance of data is priceless, and remind you that: develop a good and regular data backup habits, in order to reduce losses to a minimum, but also give you the use of notebook computers is more free, convenient and safe.

Use of software tools

1. To an appropriate proportion of the hard disk to be cut

Hard Disk Data problems can mainly be divided into two kinds of status:

The first ~ to drive their own failures, such issues form of prevention, in addition to switching machines to avoid the process of shaking the computer, the usual habit of backup data is the most important.
The second ~ damaged or poisoning caused by the operating system fail to boot. For this situation, if we install the operating system before, you have an appropriate proportion of the hard disk cutting, and will have important data backed up the operating system partition is different from the storage area, when we can through other means or tools to try to save the operating system, and even re-install the operating system, but more difficult to establish the hard drive without fear of data compromised.

If the operating system already installed on the entire hard disk stars, that is, there is only one hard drive partition, this time if you want to being re-introduced to the use of a partition, you can cut through the support of hard disk windows software, such as Partiton Magic to carry out .

2. A system of hard disk storage in the data classification

In order to more efficient backup data, it is recommended in the stored data in peacetime, it should be the proper classification. In general, the need to backup data can be divided into the following categories:

A. File type data, such as: Office documents, artwork, MP3 … .. and so on.
B. E-mail backup data types, such as: Sent Mail, Address Book … … … … and so on.
C. Used for Web site links to browse data, such as Explorer, Favorites, Netscape’s Bookmarks.

As much as possible the above three types of data stored in the D-slot data cartridge in one such approach has the advantage is that when the backup job to conduct, as long as the fixed cartridge to copy the data to other storage media, are less prone to omissions, and simplifies the complexity of backup data.
Select the appropriate backup device

1. External hardware backup devices:

2. Connecting line data transmission

USB data transfer cable with plug and play convenience features, can be easily laptop data backup on your desktop computer or a second laptop computer.

3. Other external storage methods

4. External and Internal hard drive data transfer rate comparison table

* ASUS a plane between the two plates of hard disk data transfer rate shall be 133MB / s, is the most rapid and convenient backup

Important data backup concept: off-site backup

The most secure backup is to place the data in different storage media, storage media and will be placed in different buildings. This is the latest buzzword, the concept of off-site backup is also applicable to individuals. Although the design of a machine ASUS intimate two discs, a multi-disc machine. But the timing of the backup habits, is the best way to preserve data.

How to maintenance laptop is a laptop users for each topic of concern, in this paper we have adopted the various components of the notebook maintenance skills, the essentials of data backup, failure to solve such typical aspects of the introduction, a guide for the proper and rational use of notebook computers, to extend the life of your laptop, while ensuring your data safe.

1. Basic Maintenance Notebook

Liquid crystal display screen (LCD Panel)

* A long time do not use a computer, through the function key on the keyboard to temporarily power-down LCD screen, besides saving electricity, can also extend screen life.

* Do not close LCD Panel rudely, or place any foreign body between the keyboard and display screen to avoid the cover glass due to stress caused by damage to internal components.

* Do not use fingernails and sharp objects (hard goods) touch-screen to avoid scratching the surface.

* LCD screen surface adsorption due to static electricity dust, the proposed purchase an LCD display screen special cleaning cloth to clean your screen, do not shoot with your fingers to avoid leaving fingerprints, and need to wipe gently.

* Do not use chemical cleaning agents to wipe the screen.

Batteries (Battery)

* When the case of no external power supply, if the working conditions at the time being less than PCMCIA card slot, it is recommended to remove the card first to extend battery life.

* At room temperature (20-30 degrees) for the battery of the most suitable working temperature, the temperature is too high or too low operating environment will reduce the battery life.

* To provide a stable power environment, using a laptop computer, remove the battery for extended battery life is affected by incorrect. General notebook computer, when the battery fully charged, the battery charging circuit will automatically shut down, so the phenomenon of overcharging does not occur.

* The proposed average of three months to conduct a battery power correction action.

* Power Adapter (AC Adapter) when used with reference to international voltage Description ”

Keyboard (Keyboard)

* When the accumulated dust can be used a small brush to clean the cracks, or use the camera lens is usually in the high-pressure jet cleaning tank, blow the dust, or use a handheld vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris on the keyboard.

* To clean Keyboard surface with a soft cloth in shut-down’s situation, and you may get a few cleaning agents with the soft cloth.

HDD (Hard Disk)

* To be used in a stable condition, to avoid shaking the location easy to operate the computer.

* Switch machine process is most vulnerable when the hard disk. At this point the hard disk speed bearings has not yet stable, if the resulting vibration, can easily cause a bad track. Therefore, it proposed to wait for about 10 seconds or so after shutdown and then mobile notebook.

* The average monthly restructuring and the implementation of a disk scan in order to enhance the efficiency of disk access.

Floppy Disk Drive (Floppy)

* Avoid using the floppy disk looks bad or moldy pieces.

* Purchase floppy cleaning tablets, regular cleaning read-write heads.

CD-ROM (CD-ROM)

* Use the disc cleaning tablets, regular cleaning laser read head.

* Please hands and land into the disc drive, the CD tray with one hand try to jack up the other hand the CD is indeed a fixed film can avoid the CD tray distortion.

Touchpad (Touchpad)

* Use the touch pad when you must keep hands clean, so as to avoid the phenomenon of run around the cursor.

* Careless dirty surface can be dry cloth gently wipe the damp corner of the touch panel surface can be, do not use rough cloth items such as cleaning the surface.

* Touch pad is a sensor-type precision electronic components, do not use sharp objects to write on the touch panel, they can not stress the use, so as to avoid damage.

Cooling (Thermal Dissipation)

* In general, notebook computer manufacturers will use the fan? Cooling ducts (Heat Pipe)? A large heat sink? Cooling holes, etc. to reduce the use of high temperatures generated.

* In order to save electricity and avoid the noise, notebook fan was not always running, but CPU reaches a certain temperature, the fan will start.

* The laptop placed in a soft goods, such as: bed? Sofa, blocked cooling holes may be affected by thermal effects and thus reduce the operational effectiveness, or even crash.

Other components of the Maintenance (Others)

Cleaning and maintenance, follow these steps before you must maintain your laptop computer and related peripherals:
