Household batteries can cause fire in recycling trucks

That bag of household batteries you’ve been setting aside to recycle? Better hurry.
The county won’t collect them after Saturday, March 12 — the next county household hazardous waste recycling day. Many municipalities are following the county’s lead.
According to Alan Johnson, county director of solid waste and recycling, none of the companies that bid on the contract to haul household hazardous waste from the county’s recycling collection days will accept them any longer.
Johnson told members of the county Solid Waste Advisory Council on Feb. 15 that state Department of Transportation officials put restrictions on hauling household batteries Asus a32-f3 battery Asus a42-w1 battery after a couple trucks loaded with them burst into flame when the terminals of batteries that still had juice in them lined up and built sufficient heat.
To haul them away for recycling, Johnson said, the DOT now requires that the batteries be taped at both ends to prevent fires.
That makes collection impractical, according to Johnson, who said that in the past the county typically collected 12-18 55-gallon drums of batteries at each collection day, about 500 pounds of batteries each. The recycling haulers would have charged the county $400 per drum to tape the ends and handle the batteries properly in accord with the new rules.
The good news, though, is that batteries Hp pavilion dv2200 battery are no longer considered the hazard they once were. Johnson said that battery companies and the hazardous waste industries claim that batteries have become so benign that they can be tossed into regular trash.

The county will collect the batteries one last time, Johnson said, because a number of school districts and municipalities have been stockpiling them. He sent a notice to municipal officials detailing the change on Feb. 23 and offered to have county staffers pick up batteries at local recycling coordinators are stockpiling so that they can be disposed of during the March 12 event.
When High Bridge officials announced at the Feb. 24 council meeting that batteries Compaq tc4200 battery will no longer be collected at the Public Works building, resident Brent Dugan said he fears excluding batteries from recycling will hurt efforts by the county and the municipalities to recycle 50% of solid waste.
“We’re going to lose poundage on our recycling and increase poundage in our garbage,” Dugan said.

iPad Reviews: Motorola Xoom likely to be a strong rival to Apple iPad

If there’s any tablet this year that can wrest significant market share from the blazing-hot Apple iPad, it will be the Motorola Xoom, an impossibly beautiful and exciting piece of hardware.
Motorola has stuffed a super-fast dual-core 1GHz processor, a super-vibrant 10.1-inch widescreen display, front- and rear-facing cameras and 32GB of internal storage into a svelte, 1.6-pound package.
The Xoom began shipping Thursday with a whopping retail price of $800 at Best Buy or $600 from Verizon Wireless with a two-year data contract. Monthly data rates from Verizon start at $20 a month for 1GB of data.

First Android 3.0 tablet

The Xoom is the first tablet to run on Google’s all-new Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) operating system.
Honeycomb immerses users in the tablet experience without all the reminders of previous Android tablets that it was just phone software on a larger screen.
The home screen is divided into five panels, each with plenty of room for Honeycomb’s powerful widgets.
The widgets — for things like Gmail, Web bookmarks, YouTube videos and calendar events — all display useful information on the home screen.
The software team at Google has also rebuilt the system-wide navigation structure, creating a handy task bar at the bottom that displays app notifications, signal strength and battery Hp dv8000 Dell d820 life.
It takes getting used to, but the navigation quickly becomes intuitive with its buttons for back, home and a choice to display thumbnails of applications still running in the background.
Battery life on the Xoom is excellent. Motorola rates the Wi-Fi browsing life at 10 hours, and my tests actually exceeded that mark by a half-hour.
The cameras allow for videoconferencing and video-recording. Taking a photo with the 10.1-inch screen is more fun than I expected, and the 5-megapixel rear camera produces decent images.
You’ll be disappointed that very few Android programs have been translated well from the smartphone dell vostro 1000 battery to the tablet’s larger screen.
Gmail remains inexplicably separated from all other e-mail programs.
The tablet’s speakers are also peculiarly placed on the back of the device, which can make videos sound loud and clear to the person on the other side of room, but muffled to the tablet user.
The Xoom ships without many of the features that were supposed to make it a clear choice over the iPad.
The Xoom has a microSD slot for easily adding storage or adding photos from a camera, but that port is not yet enabled. An over-the-air software upgrade is planned to enable that Dell latitude e6400 battery feature.

Updates promised soon

The tablet is also shipping without support for Flash video, which has been chief among the concerns from iPad holdouts. Verizon promises an update “soon.”
It also does not use Verizon’s faster LTE 4G wireless network, even as that network now covers 80% of metro Detroiters. Tablet users with a data contract will be using Verizon’s slower 3G network for the time being.
The tablet will be upgradeable to 4G, though, with a hardware swap that users can get for free from Motorola. Verizon says Xoom users should expect to be without their tablet for six days while it is upgraded.
The good news is that almost every flaw on the Xoom lies in the half-baked software. Software can be updated, and already has been.
In the first couple of days of my testing, the Android Market app itself was very buggy, Dell latitude d830 inspiron 1520 causing recently downloaded apps to open randomly and unprompted.
It was fixed in a software update on Friday, though, just one day after the tablet’s public release.
Buying into a platform that still has bugs at an $800 price tag will be a hard threshold to cross for even the most fervent Android devotees.

The Xoom needed to reach higher as it hits the market almost a year after the iPad — especially as Apple prepares to unveil its next-generation tablet on Wednesday.
But as the software improves, the Xoom will prove an incredibly attractive alternative to the iPad.

Battery care tips – Top tips extend your laptop batteries life

Laptops tend to lose their charm quickly when you’re constantly looking for the nearest power outlet to charge up.hp laptop battery How do you keep your battery going for as long as possible? cheap laptop battery
Here are 15 easy ways to do so.
1. Defrag regularly – The faster your hard drive does its work – less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. (but not while it’s on laptop battery of course!) Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.
2. Dim your screen – Most laptops come with the ability to dim your laptop screen. F2019A Battery, F2019B Battery, OmniBook 6000 Battery F1739A Battery, Omnibook XE Dell latitude d531 b120 battery , Some even come with ways to modify CPU and cooling performance. Cut them down to the lowest level you can tolerate to squeeze out some extra battery juice.
3. Cut down on programs running in the background. Itunes, Desktop Search, etc. All these add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn’t crucial when you’re on battery.
4. Cut down external devices – USB devices (including your mouse) & WiFi drain down your laptop battery. F2019A Battery Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices (like your iPod) with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your extend the life of your laptop batteries .
5. Add more RAM – This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.

Now Price : $82.63
6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD – As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be
power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they?re not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones.
7. Keep the battery contacts clean: OmniBook 6000 Battery Clean your battery’s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
8. Take care of your battery – Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery New 1720 battery New 9-cell Dell  1000 battery ESPECIALLY acer travelmate 4150 battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge.
9. Hibernate not standby – Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn’t save
anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC’s state as it is, and completely shut itself down.
10. Keep operating temperature down – Your laptop operates more efficiently when it’s cooler. F2019A Battery, F2019B Battery, OmniBook 6000 Battery F1739A Battery, Omnibook XE Battery F2024B Battery, Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by

Now Price : $88.77
11. Set up and optimize your power options – Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect).
12. Don’t multitask – Do one thing at a time when you’re on battery.F1739A Battery Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3’s, set your mind to one thing only. If you don’t you’ll only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed!
13. Go easy on the PC demands – The more you demand from your PC. Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you’ve got a single battery charge – pick your priorities wisely.
14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop – Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all
day long batteries Hp dv4 Dell inspiron 5160 Laptop battery . Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix.
15. Prevent the Memory Effect – If you’re using a very old laptop, you’ll want to prevent the ‘memory effect’ – Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Bonus Tip #1: Turn off the autosave function. MS-Word’s and Excel’s autosave functions are great but because they keep saving regular intervals, they work your acer travelmate 2150 battery hard driver harder than it may have to. If you plan to do this, you may want to turn it back on as the battery runs low. While it saves battery life in the beginning, you will want to make sure your work is saved when your battery dies.

Whether it has been eliminated nickel-metal hydride batteries, now used in lithium-ion battery, or not commonly lithium polymer batteries, or even tomorrow’s stars of the silver-zinc batteries( sony vgp-bps5a battery
), are the equivalent of a warehouse storing electricity, the difference is that they access library approach, the storage capacity only. In the notebook computer batteries, as well as a large responsible for managing these batteries housekeeper – power computing chips, which is the management of battery, computing power, is responsible for charging and discharging of the “responsible person.”
In the measurement of battery technology, there are four kinds of common method,F2299A Battery, F3172A Battery, Pavilion ZT1000 Battery, Pavilion XZ200 Battery, but not books of different brands of batteries using only one method of calculating dell latitude c600 battery dell inspiron 1720 battery power consumption are usually several ways to use an integrated, in one of the main method of calculating The remaining auxiliary calculation means to achieve the computing power to manage.
The first is the open circuit voltage measurement method, F2299A Battery this method is by measuring the battery voltage in the stationary state values to calculate the remaining battery capacity, but because of stationary lithium-ion battery voltage and remaining capacity of the relationship between the non-linear, Therefore, this method is not an accurate measurement of the value of the vast majority of cell phone batteries have adopted this method of calculation; the second is called Coulomb’s method of calculation, the method is by measuring the battery charge and discharge current, the current value and time value of the After the product is calculated by integrating the batteries into the battery charge and the release of electricity, Coulomb’s method of calculation is a more accurate method of calculating Acer aspire 5920 laptop battery power; third is to impedance measurement method, it is by measuring the resistance within the battery get the battery remaining capacity value;  The fourth is a comprehensive look-up table method, by setting a related table, the voltage, current, temperature and other parameters input, you can check the battery’s remaining capacity to be.
Thus, apart from the internal structure of the battery batteries, there are management chip, the chip contains one or two of them measuring method of
calculating capacity batteries, and a set of charge and discharge protection circuit. Among the notebooks in the system, through the driver interface access to this chip, and then set the battery management.
So, why the battery would be more you use less electricity, but the implementation of the correction function can restore the battery capacity of a part of it?
Laptop batteries Dell  5160 battery Dell inspiron 640m battery are generally the so-called six-pin power, 4-pin power, refers to the number of battery cells within the batteries. So many batteries together, F3172A Battery that is, the less electricity more you use the fundamental reasons: batteries and the batteries between the quality of discharge can not be exactly the same level, such as discharge, in which a substantial reduction in power batteries, In order to maintain voltage stability, battery management chip will follow “casks principle”, according to the worst of that energy-saving core to charge protection, battery charge will naturally decline, the impact is even more than the battery irreversible Institute of Chemical Physics change.
Battery calibration function is to balance the multiple batteries, the battery because of their resistance can not be completely consistent, the battery will be great resistance bear strong current, F2299A Battery, F3172A Battery, Pavilion ZT1000 Battery, Pavilion XZ200 Battery,leading to their own consumption more than other batteries, but also easier to wear and tear, therefore, on a regular basis to do the battery calibration is necessary – so as to balance the burden of multi-cell “work”, thus extending the overall life expectancy.
The impact of laptop battery life factors, battery life did not meet expectations for the use of laptop computers, some factors that make battery depletion, and they may even lead to the longest battery time is below standard, but does not mean that these factors may damage the battery . Impact on battery life factors:
factor1: processor speed – the right to install Intel chipset driver will enable the system to use Intel Speed step technology for the processor speed of
adjustment, Pavilion ZT1000 Battery which will be extended in the application of the system batterydell latitude d830 battery life.
Factor 2: CD, DVD, CD-RW and hard drive frequently read – trying to CD-ROM copy of the document to your hard disk directly in operations (including copy, delete, and run an application, etc.) will increase the battery life.
Factor 3: the total number of memory and memory – if the system opened a lot of applications will take up a lot of hard disk space to do file exchange (virtual memory), thus leading to frequent hard disk read and write, then the more memory on the battery more beneficial use of time.
Factor 4: a number of applications to run automatically in the background when the CPU load will increase, resulting in reduced use of time – the proposed use will be some normal background running programs closed, only necessary to run application software.
Factor 5: LCD’s brightness – set the brightness of the lower battery life for the better length of time, you can use FN + function key to use to adjust brightness.
Factor 6: Speed Step power management and set up – set up power management in a different power scheme will affect battery life.
Factors 7: battery life – the average laptop battery life is one year, Pavilion XZ200 Battery with the use of time and increase in the number of batteries to
reduce the use of time is normal.
Factor 8: processor and system equipment for the deeper applications (such as watching DVD movies and 3D games) the battery will quickly reduce the
available time.
Factor 9: wireless devices and the Bluetooth device will speed up the dell d620 battery ( dell d630 battery )consumption;F2299A Battery, F3172A Battery, Pavilion
ZT1000 Battery, Pavilion XZ200 Battery, the need for wireless can be shut down to save power.
factor 10: the use of the environment temperature – too high or too low use of the ambient temperature will affect toshiba satellite a10 battery in the activity of chemical substances, thus reducing the use of battery time and life.

blet News review : Know your tablets

As manufacturers rush to capitalize on the attention given to the Apple iPad, there’s seems to be a new tablet announced every week. We can’t keep track of every slate thrown into the wild, but if you’re curious to know what options are out there, we’ve compiled a general overview of the tablet landscape.

iPad

There’s probably no explanation needed for this one. With a million iPads sold within the first month of its introduction, the iPad has quickly taken the lead position in the tablet category.
Pros: Elegant hardware; vibrant App Store; ideal for media playback; large selection of games; fast processor; responsive multitouch screen; long battery Hp pavilion dv6 battery Dell vostro 1720 battery life; priced as low as $499.
Cons: Users must buy their software from Apple; existing Mac and Windows software isn’t supported; lacks Adobe Flash compatibility; limited hardware support.
CNET’s Apple iPad resource page | Full review: Apple iPad

Windows tablets

Historically, tablets running Microsoft’s Windows operating system made up the major share of the market. These include several subcategories, such as slates, convertible laptops, UMPCs, and MIDs. Windows-based tablets still thrive, especially in niche professional applications that demand the capabilities and broad software compatibility of Windows.
Pros: Familiar interface; broadest software and hardware compatibility; Adobe Flash support; multitasking; wide range of screen sizes, pricing, and implementations.
Cons: Windows desktop interface doesn’t always translate well to the touch screen without intermediating software or stylus input; typically longer boot times compared with Dell inspiron 1520 battery dell inspiron 6400 battery mobile OS; cumbersome software installation; more prone to computer virus; typically shorter battery life.
Examples: Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t, Archos 9 PC tablet, Asus Eee PC T91

Android tablets

Smartphones running Google’s Android OS are some of the biggest competitors to Apple’s iPhone. Android takes an approach similar to Apple’s iOS, offering a streamlined interface based around lightweight, third-party apps.
In 2010, CNET reviewed several tablets running versions of Android up to 2.2 (aka Froyo), which essentially duplicated the Android smartphone experience onto a larger screen. Since that time, Google announced its tablet-optimized version of Android 3.0, named Honeycomb, due out in the first quarter of 2011 on Motorola’s Xoom tablet.
Pros: A large variety of apps; quick boot time; third-party manufacturers competing dell inspiron 5100 battery Dell latitude d630 battery to provide hardware; one-touch access to Google Web search; options priced as low as $199.
Cons: Many Android features and developer specs (pre-Honeycomb) are more fitting for smartphones than tablets; legacy apps designed for phone screens don’t scale well; accessory compatibility changes from manufacturer to manufacturer; not all tablet hardware will support Android Honeycomb.
Examples: Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Dell Streak, ViewSonic ViewPad 7

E-book readers


Dedicated e-book readers were once simple and straightforward. Generally, they used e-ink on high-contrast black-and-white displays with screen sizes of 5 to 10 inches. Most offer the ability to read e-books as well as magazines and newspapers, and the most popular ones are tied to specific content vendors (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony).
New tablets (such as the iPad and Nook Color) include some or all of the functionality of a traditional e-book reader, but can be used for a much broader range of purposes, such as Web browsing, e-mail, and video playback.
That said, traditional e-readers typically include Dell inspiron 5160 battery dell latitude d820 battery niceties such as free 3G e-book store access and the e-ink screens–which many readers find to be easier on the eyes for long reading sessions. These dedicated devices still have a place in a tablet world, especially for frugal consumers shopping in the sub-$200 price range.
Pros: E-ink screens (on many models) that are easy on the eyes; built-in 3G wireless (on some models); lower price points than most full-featured tablets; comparatively excellent battery life when weighed against full-fledged tablets.
Cons: Black-and-white screens (on e-ink models); limited touch-screen options; additional media features (audio, video, Web browsing, third-party apps) are often limited or nonexistent.
Examples: Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook Color, Sony Reader

There are a few tablets on the horizon that don’t fall neatly into any of the previous categories. But whether it’s a custom Linux-based slate like the OpenTablet, or HP’s rumored tablet based on Palm’s WebOS, they all have one thing in common: they’re untested. Compared with a Windows-based tablet or the relatively long history behind Apple’s iOS, any new kid on the block will inherently have some kinks to work out.
In conclusion, there are a number of product types and considerations to weigh when shopping Dell inspiron 1526 battery Dell latitude c610 battery for a tablet. Unlike most product categories, however, there is a clear and deservedly successful top product that stands out among tablets: the Apple iPad.
Unless you’re constrained by budget or a specific requirement that the iPad does not provide, Apple’s tablet is an easy product for us to recommend and is currently the standard all competitors are judged against. That stance may change as Android’s Honeycomb OS and other competitors begin to gain traction, but until then, Apple’s iPad has the lead.

Laptop Reviews : New batteries fix themselves

A newly created lithium-ion battery that can heal itself may improve the life span and safety of today’s energy-storage technologies, researchers report.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteriesHp hstnn-ib44 battery Hp hstnn-lb42 battery power cell phones, laptops and other portable electronics. But, like any batteries, they tend to break down over time.
Wholesaler & distributor of laptop batteries replacement for Compaq, HP, Dell, Acer, Sony, IBM, Toshiba. Our notebook batteries are made from high quality battery cells, which offer the quality and capacity as their (Original Equipment Manufacturer) counterparts. We guarantee our laptop batteries for full 1 year warranty and 30-day money back on every laptop battery.
“There are many different types of degradation that happen, and fixing this degradation could help us make longer-lasting batteries,” said Scott White, a materials engineer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who reported the details of the battery February 20 at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
One site of damage is the anode, a battery’s negatively charged terminal. As a battery charges and discharges, the anode swells and shrinks. Over time, this cycling causes damage, creating cracks that can interfere with the flow of current and, ultimately, kill the battery Dell inspiron 6400 battery .
To counteract this cracking, White embedded tiny microspheres inside the graphite of an anode. As cracks formed in the anode, they tore open the plastic shells, releasing the contents within: a material called indium gallium arsenide. This liquid metal alloy seeped out of the spheres and filled the cracks in the anode, restoring the flow of electricity.
Damage to a battery — or a short circuit between its components — can cause problems other than a shorter life span. Out-of-control electrical currents have been known to create hot spots that grow into a raging fire.
“It’s not a common occurrence, but when it happens, the consequences are severe,” White said. Battery fires have prompted laptop recalls by Dell and Hewlett-Packard, and the U.S. Department of Transportation has proposed stricter rules for cargo planes that transport large quantities of lithium-ion batteries Hp pavilion dv7 battery Hp probook 4720s battery .
To safeguard against this type of failure, White developed a second kind of microsphere made of solid polyethylene, an inexpensive and widely available plastic. A small quantity of these spheres embedded in the anode and other battery components can function as a safety cutoff switch. If the temperature inside the battery rises above 105° Celsius, the spheres melt into a thin layer of insulating material that shuts off the flow of electricity, preventing a conflagration.
“We’ve tested this in real batteries,” said White, whose research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. “It works beautifully.” This safety feature, he said, could be useful for the electric cars emerging on the market.

“Lithium-ion batteries  will continue to be the technology used for the next 10 to 15 years in electric cars,” said Kristin Persson of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, who is looking for new battery materials that not only have better energy storage but also avoid some of the pitfalls of traditional batteries. “It will take at least that amount of time to develop new materials.”

Now that AT&T has lost exclusivity to the iPhone, the carrier is turning to a new wave of powerful Android phones.The Motorola Atrix 4G is leading the charge, and it will easily be the best Android option for AT&T subscribers when it’s released next week.
The Atrix is more than just an Android phone, though. It can also power a laptop.
The phone will cost $199 with a two-year contract. The optional laptop dock will cost an additional $500, though that can be knocked down to $300 with rebates if you buy the laptop Dell wr050 battery hp pavilion dv6 battery and phone at the same time.
I spent the last week putting the Atrix and laptop dock through its paces. Here’s what I thought. (And just so you know where I’m coming from, I use an iPhone 4 for personal use.)

The Phone

Motorola and AT&T are calling the Atrix the “world’s most powerful smartphone.” That’s a bold claim, but the phone is definitely speedy thanks to the dual core processor. Apps seem to launch instantly and scrolling through web pages is nice and smooth.
The OS on the Atrix is a bit behind the curve — it still runs Froyo, an older version of Android. Gingerbread has been available for almost three months now, so hopefully an upgrade is in the works. I also didn’t like that I was required to create a Motorola Blur account before I could even start up the phone Dell inspiron 1501 battery Hp probook 4720s battery . (I’m still not sure what good Motorola Blur even is other than giving the manufacturer a way to store your email address).

The body of the phone is pretty standard for Android phones these days. There’s a four-inch touch screen, a front-facing camera, a mini HDMI out port, and four function keys at the bottom. All are designed nicely, but the plastic backing feels cheap and flimsy, bending and creaking under my grip.One neat feature is the fingerprint scanner on the power button, which you can use to unlock the phone instead of a password. Just swipe your finger along the sensor and you’re in.
I also liked the screen. Resolution is excellent and games with 3D graphics look just as impressive as what you’d find on a Nintendo DS or PSP. Touch gestures are responsive and there are some great widgets included for managing wifi, Bluetooth, and airplane mode without digging through settings.
The camera takes great HD video, which you can view on your TV with an HDMI cord. The results were excellent on my 30-inch TV, and Motorola says it even supports big HP pavilion dv2000 battery Dell d820 battery screens over 100 inches.
The only potential deal breaker with the Atrix is the battery life. It completely died on me twice while the phone was in sleep mode, so you can just imagine how quickly the battery drains during normal use. Using a task manager to close apps running in the background will help extend battery life, but not enough to make a huge difference. Make sure you get an extra battery or keep a charger handy.

The Laptop Dock

I said this in my initial impression of the Atrix, and I’ll say it again. The laptop dock feels like a $500 gimmick designed to prove that the Atrix phone is powerful enough to run a computer.

It’s essentially a hollow shell that won’t even turn on unless the phone is docked in the back. The OS only comes with a few apps such as Firefox and a media center. The other apps are either shortcuts to websites like Motorola and Facebook or phone functions such as dialing and texting.There’s no way to download new apps, so you’re stuck with what comes out of the box. That means you’re pretty much limited to what you can do in the browser. You’ll have to use Google Hp pavilion dv9000 battery Dell d620 battery Docs and other online tools to get things done.
You do have the option to use an emulator window that lets you control the phone and run your Android apps, but it feels awkward to do so without a touch screen.
On the upside, the laptop is super thin and light, making it ideal for traveling. It also charges your Atrix while docked and acts as a speakerphone if you receive a call.

4G Speeds

The “4G” in the Atrix name means that it operates on AT&T’s HSPA+ network. AT&T still hasn’t announced a launch date or available cities for the new network, so it was difficult to accurately evaluate how fast it really is. AT&T also warned me that although the Atrix will connect to HSPA+ right now, I may not experience 4G speeds until the official launch.
They were right. I did a speed test several times over the last week in different locations throughout New York City. The fastest download recorded was 3.1 Mbps, aboutHp pavilion dv6700 battery Hp dv6000 battery three times as fast as your typical 3G connection. Every other test clocked the speed around 1.3 Mbps, which is about what you’d experience when 3G is running really well.
Hopefully the results will be more impressive than that once HSPA+ goes live.

Should You Buy It?

For AT&T users, the Atrix is the best Android option you have. (Not like there’s a lot of competition). If you’ve been dying for the same great Android experience people have been enjoying on Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint, then this is your phone.
On the other hand, the laptop dock is a waste of $500. If the price goes down — way, way down — you may want to consider it. Otherwise, stick with your netbook.

Battery Power News – Macbook Battery Life

When your work keeps you on the move all the time, one crucial parameter of your Macbook, which matters the most, is its battery life. If you are planning to buy a Macbook or already have one, knowledge of the maximum Macbook battery life is essential, as it will help you gauge whether it’s performing at its maximum potential. Not only will you find a discussion of the maximum Macbook battery life, in this Buzzle article, but we will also talk about ways in which you could enhance the battery Asus a42-w1 battery life of your Macbook.
Most laptop computers today use lithium ion batteries. Their working is based on reversible chemical reactions, which help store and sustain the battery charge. The Macbook uses a powerful 63.5-watt-hour lithium polymer battery, which powers every one of its electrical circuits. Let us see what is the maximum Macbook battery life specified by Apple Computers and then take a look at ways in which, you can increase the battery life to reach its maximum potential.
What is the Maximum Macbook Battery Life?
The maximum laptop battery life specified by all manufacturers is calculated under the most ideal conditions. Mostly, actual battery life falls short of the ideal battery life that is estimated after testing under controlled conditions.
On the Apple Computers website, the specified Macbook battery life for the 13.3 inch version is a whooping 10 hours (for wireless Internet browsing and light applications) and it’s 8 to 9 hours for the 15 inch and 17 inch models. If you use intensive power draining applications like watching a DVD movie, the charge on the Macbook lasts for approximately 7 hours. This battery Asus m50 battery Acer aspire 5520 battery life specification is nothing short of phenomenal, if you compare it with the earlier Macbook versions which had a specified maximum battery life of 6 hours only. Long battery life is the biggest USP of Macbook, which explains its high sales volumes.
How to Extend Macbook Battery Life?
So if your Macbook battery life is no where near the specified maximum, what can you do to improve it? Here are a few suggestions on getting the most from your Macbook, in terms of battery life.
  • Firstly, enable the ‘Energy Saver’ feature on your Mac OS X, which will ensure that the battery power is used sparingly.
  • Ensure that you regularly recharge the battery to 100% capacity after prolonged usage.
  • Avoid using power gobbling applications like videos and games when you need the battery Lenovo 3000 v200 battery Dell d820 battery power for work and do not have access to an electrical power outlet, where you can plug in for power.
  • When you don’t need wireless Internet access, turn off the wifi adapter of your Macbook, which will save a substantial amount of power.
  • Also turn off the Bluetooth adapter when you don’t need it for data transfer.
  • The Macbook screen uses a large amount of power, which can be reduced if you keep the brightness at a low level.
  • Don’t let the battery drain to less than 10% of its capacity too often. Recharge it as soon as it goes below 20%.
  • Keep the usage of peripherals connected with the Macbook, to a minimum.
These few simple steps will improve your Macbook battery life substantially. Also check out this Buzzle article which talks about the Macbook Pro battery life.
Implementation of some of the above laptop battery Compaq nc6000 battery care tips could help extend the Macbook battery life, and enhance its overall functioning efficiency. The simplest way of extending battery life is avoiding the usage of battery power sapping applications like media players running movies. If you stick to basic word processing applications and Internet browsing, plan a regular recharging schedule and avoid graphic intensive applications, the battery charge will surely last longer.

www.goodlaptopbattery.co.uk – When Should You Buy a New Laptop?

We’ve all been there, or known someone who has: you finally replace that aging, annoying old laptop with something shiny and new, only to see a remarkably better laptop go on sale just a month or two later. Nobody likes to make a big purchase only to find they’re stuck with last year’s model. That credit card bill is all the harder to swallow when you’re still paying for a laptop Acer aspire 6935g battery Acer as07b41 battery that’s not even on sale anymore. How can you know when it’s the right time to buy a new laptop, or if you really even need a new laptop at all?

Do You Really Need a New Laptop?

First, consider whether or not that sleek bundle of metal and silicon you’re eyeing is even something you need. Sure, the new models are shiny and pretty and hold great promises of improved power and additional features your current laptop doesn’t have. But consider this: as time goes on, the same money gets you more laptop, or the same power and features gets cheaper. The longer you hold on to the laptop you have, the more bang you’ll get for your buck when you finally upgrade.
Consider what you do with your current laptop, and what you’d like to do. If your current model still works properly, runs all the apps you want to run well enough, and accesses all the services you want without problems, you might as well stick with it. The right time to get a new system is when you notice your needs have changed and your current laptop no longer meets those needs. Maybe you bought a heavier laptop because you rarely travel, but find yourself in a new job or position that requires lots of travel. Now, your laptop’s Acer aspire 5520 battery Acer aspire 5920 battery weight and limited battery life are a constant source of frustration. Perhaps the games you played two years ago ran fine on your laptop, but modern games don’t, and gaming is a big part of your laptop use. Maybe web services have evolved beyond your laptop’s capabilities, and hi-def YouTube clips (for instance) stutter and chop, forcing you to view the lower-resolution version.
Obviously, if your laptop no longer works properly, is beyond warranty, and it will cost more to repair than it’s really worth, you’re better off buying something new. If that’s the case, or if you find your needs have outgrown your current laptop, it’s time to start shopping.

Timing Your Purchase

There are scores of considerations in buying a new laptop. Depending on your needs, you’ll want to look at size, weight, battery life, performance (CPU, graphics, RAM, drive speed), storage options, and more. That’s beyond the scope of this article – let’s assume you have some idea of what you want. (If you don’t, start with our Laptops Dell vostro 1000 battery Buying Guide.)
You don’t want to buy something only to have a better or cheaper model hit the market a few weeks later. At the same time, you can’t wait forever. At some point you have to warm up your credit card and pull the trigger on a new laptop purchase. When is the right time?
If you’re eyeing Apple’s products, the timing is relatively simple. Apple doesn’t shift prices all that often, so your biggest concern is to avoid buying a new MacBook just before the next major revision hits the market. Apple tends to update its laptop line twice a year: generally there’s a significant change to the line-up in the spring (in the March to May timeframe) and some minor updates in the fall (October or November). The exact timing varies, but if you read the Apple-focused rumor sites and blogs, and visit our friends at MacWorld regularly, you’ll get a sense of when the new models are coming.
Laptops on the Windows side come from a wide variety of vendors, and the timing is all over the map. When Intel released new processors (such as the “Sandy Bridge” 2nd Generation Core processors just released), you can count on updates to existing product lines from most major PC vendors. Other hot times for updates to laptop Hp hstnn-lb42 battery Hp hstnn-ib45 battery lines is in the late spring (“Dads and Grads”) and mid-to-late summer (“Back to School”). You’ll sometimes see a few new models leading into the holiday rush at the end of the year, but that time is more often consumed with special deals and discounts on existing models.
The biggest thing to remember is: Don’t Panic (with apologies to Douglas Adams). No matter when you buy, you can be assured that something even better is going to come along before too long. Concentrate on the improvement of your new laptop over your old one and try not to get hung up on what you could have gotten if you had only waited another six months. If you waited to buy a new laptop until you really needed one, you didn’t really miss out.

Don’t Disregard the Previous Generation

Even when new laptop models hit the market, it might be worth considering the “old” models that were all the rage just a couple months prior. These are often sold at a deep discount to clear out inventory, possibly saving you hundreds of dollars. These may not have the glitz and glamour of the latest and greatest thing that just hit the market, but that hardly makes them obsolete. After all, these Hp pavilion dv4 battery were perfectly great and current models just a couple months prior.

It’s not like the fast-moving world of smartphones where new versions of the operating system may only be available on the latest phones, locking you old of exciting new features and software if you buy the older one. This is the world of Windows (or Mac OS, or Linux). The major software and capabilities are the same, and perhaps only run a little slower. If you can live with that, and if the just-retired model offers all the features you need, it’s worth keeping them on your potential purchase list if the discounts are deep enough.
