As well as featuring the new Pentium M Processor 735 (1.7GHz), 745 (1.8GHz) and 755 (2GHz), plus a range of wireless connectivity options, the T42 series will be the first ThinkPads to offer a 15in. display. Another first for the range is a 9.5mm multi-format DVD burner, the snappily named ThinkPad Multi-Burner UltraBay Slim Drive.The standard T42 is a far more basic model than its ibm thinkpad T42p sibling, but to be fair it’s also significantly cheaper. The chassis is the same as the T42p I looked at, but there is one major difference as soon as you open it up – the 15in screen sports a native resolution of only 1,024 x 768. Now there was a time when 1,024 x 768 was a great resolution for a notebook, but things have moved on. These days the average 14.1in screen will have a native resolution of 1,400 x 1,050, so a 15in display with 1,024 x 768 looks a little odd to be honest. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the screen on the T42 – it’s bright and evenly lit, while the colours are vivid. But the 15in physical dimensions seem like overkill considering the resolution.

The 2.4kg (15in. screen) or 2.1 kg (14in. screen) T42 comes with either a Dothan processor featuring 2MB of Level 2 cache or the older 1MB-cache Pentium M running at 1.5GHz. Graphics are handled by ATI's Radeon M10 (with up to 64MB of video RAM) or M7 (with up to 32MB) chipsets, while hard disk sizes top out at 80GB (5,400rpm).

Wireless networking options for the T42 include single-band 802.11b or b/g, dual-band a/b/g or "wireless ready" (i.e. no wireless module fitted). IBM uses two antennae fitted in the screen bezel to provide isolation from electromagnetic interference. Gigabit wired Ethernet is standard on all models, as is infrared (not a given these days), while Bluetooth is offered on selected models. The lightweight (5.4-pound) Ibm thinkpad T42 is incredibly thin--just 1.1 inches tall with the 14.1-inch screen closed--and offers IBM's great keyboard with both eraserhead and touchpad pointing devices, each with their own smoothly working mouse buttons. The ThinkLight, an LED in the lid that a keystroke combination activates to shine a light on the keyboard, is a useful feature that helps when working in dim light.

Powering the ThinkPad T42 is the Intel Pentium M 735 (1.7GHz) that provides an excellent mix of power and battery life. Matched to this is 512MB of PC2700 DDR memory allowing it to run through the most applications without any problems.

Storage is not one of the strong points for the ThinkPad T42. It comes standard with a 40GB hard drive. Thankfully it has a higher spin rate of 5,400 RPMs for inproved performance. It also uses the APS system to protect data during shocks or bumps. A 24x CD-RW combo drive for CD burning and DVD playback is also standard. Connectivity: My ThinkPad came with the Intel 2200BG wireless card. There is no off/on button but can be switched using keyboard controls. When I first got it, I still had an 802.11b router. It worked well with that. I have since upgraded to an 802.11g router and it works well with that too. I really only use it co share my internet connection so the 802.11b standard is more than enough for my 400k DSL line. My ThinkPad also came with Bluetooth. I purchased a Bluetooth enabled Kensington Pilot Mouse to use with it. It works well and finds it right away when I turn it on. One of the few faults I can find with my ThinkPad is the lack of connection options. It has two USB ports and that is it. It has no firewire or card reader. Not that I use those all that much, but they would have been nice on such an expensive laptop. They could have gotten rid of the parallel port to add them because they are rarely used anymore. Optical Drive: Most ThinkPads come with a CDRW/DVD combo drives even though DVD burners are common on a lot of other laptops. Newer T43s are more likely to have a DVD burner. Mine came with a Hitachi-LG 24x/8x drive combo drive. ThinkPads have a super slim modular bay. There are only a few drives that will fit in there. I decided not to get one with a DVD burner because IBM burners are slow and expensive. The burn quality on the drive is not very good either. I have the modular battery and like to keep it the bay, so an external seemed like a good choice. I purchased a NEC ND-6500A from NewEgg and a case for it from Centrix Intl. The burn quality on the NEC is the best I have seen on a laptop drive and it is much faster than the 2x Panasonic drives offered by IBM. The case it a little cheap and platicky, but seem to work as described. It is USB powered so thankfully I do not have to carry an adapter. Audio: It is a laptop so using it's speakers to listen to audio will do in a pinch, but a good pair of headphones is a must. I use the ones that came with my Creative Labs Muvo2. It uses a SoundMax chip. Ibm thinkpad t42 Battery: I have the larger nine cell and the modular bay battery. I haven't done any scientific testing, but with both batteries full charged it goes between six and seven hours on medium settings with wireless on which is excellent considering the larger screen. More often than not, I stop using it before the battery runs out.]]> http://tabulas.com/~linglittle/1534642.html http://tabulas.com/~linglittle/1534642.html Fri, 14 Mar 2008 03:48:54 +0000 compaq preario r3000 notebook review Compaq presario r3000 laptop reviewCompany: hp compaq Price: $993 direct Spec data:

SLIDESHOW (9) Slideshow | All Shots Pros: Wide-aspect screen, three USB ports, easily accessible buttons. Cons: A good replacement Battery Bottom Line: A fair-performing system for below $1,000, the HP Compaq Presario R3000 is a desirably designed multimedia notebook, with a 15.4-inch wide-screen display at an affordable price. If you're looking for a bargain basement system to ease the back-to-school burden but don't want to sacrifice multimedia features, then the HP Compaq Presario R3000 could be the notebook for you. The 8-pound R3000 has a sharp 15.4-inch WXGA display. The system had no problem displaying our test DVD movie clearly, and its JBL Pro speakers delivered superb sound quality. The nVidia GeForce4 420 Go graphics solution helped the R3000 win first place on our 3D performance tests. (Although our test system came with 802.11b, HP is offering free upgrades to 802.11g.) On Multimedia Content Creation Winstone and our Serious Sam SE gaming demo, the R3000 had the best scores of the budget machines with 16.6 and 28.4, respectively. But we were surprised to find no memory card reader on a system with such multimedia-centric components. On BatteryMark, the R3000 lasted 2 hours 42 minutes, which was lowest among the budget systems. The R3000 offers very good bang for the buck if you're on a budget but still want a spiffy multimedia system that will impress your dormmates. (Hey, you even get Microsoft Office SE 2003 for when it's time to get to work.) Shy away from the R3000, however, if you're looking for a more mobile system to carry around campus. Compaq’s R3000 line of Pentium 4 notebooks is a solid performer with good looks and good features. While lacking some of the bells and whistles of other “multimedia friendly” competitors, its minimalist styling is both sleek and functional. Backed by Compaq’s one-year limited hardware warranty, the R3000 series offers a host of configuration options and add-ons. With integrated ATI Radeon 9000 graphics and integrated Broadcom 54G wireless, the R3000 is well-suited for the mobile professional or student who doesn’t mind lugging around eight pounds, and the casual gamer who doesn’t need the highest settings in the latest games. Its powerful JBL Pro speakers, DVD and CDR/W combo drive and 15.4-inch screen make this an excellent choice for multimedia use as well. At over eight pounds it certainly isn’t the most portable laptop available, but the weight compares favorably to competing products. If you’re looking for a sturdy laptop that is somewhere between ultra-portable and a desktop replacement, Compaq’s R3000 line, while not being flashy or innovative, is a good choice.

This translates into one and a half to three years of battery life for the average user. As your rechargeable battery begins to die, you will notice a decline in the run time of the battery. When your two-hour battery is only supplying you with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new battery. 4.If you do not plan on using the battery for a month or more, we recommend storing in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. 5.Do not leave your battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. hot and new hp pavilion dv1000 battery relative : hp pavilion zd8000 battery, hp pavilion zd7000 battery, compaq presario r3000 battery, compaq presario v2000 battery]]> http://tabulas.com/~linglittle/1504663.html http://tabulas.com/~linglittle/1504663.html Fri, 07 Dec 2007 01:36:09 +0000 hot and new sony laptop battery detail discount sony laptop batteries detail Sony laptop battery knowledge:
  1. Battery run-time on the sony laptop is difficult to determine. Actual sony battery running time depends upon the power demands made by tde equipment, the use of the screen, the hard drive and other accessories results in an additional drain upon the SONY battery, effectively reducing its running time. the total run-time of the battery is also dependent upon the design of tde equipment. Generally, a new Hi-Capacitysony laptopbattery will run 30% to 50% longer than the old battery did when it was new.
  2. The life span of a notebook sony battery is about 1.5 to 3 years under normal conditions.As the rechargeable PCGA-BP2S battery begins to die, the user will notice a decline in the running time of the battery
  3. Cycle life is measured by tHe amount of times a battery may be charged and discharged. Every time a battery is charged and discharged, it uses one cycle. Cycle life is very important in battery applications such as laptop batteries and emergency light batteries.

The history of the Christmas gift dates back to 4th century A.D. – the time of Saint Nicholas (later called Santa Claus). Even after so many years, people still find it difficult to find the perfect Christmas gifts for the special persons in their lives. But it doesn’t have to be so hard. One just has to anticipate the coming of Christmas and write down good ideas as they occur. For instance, if your dad is frustrated that his old fishing rod broke during summer vacation, he might forget about it after a while, but it is your job to write it down and remember to buy him a replacement when Xmas comes.

Tradition says that we must treat each other kindly during Christmas. Maybe that is the reason why the tradition of giving Christmas gifts has spread far and wide. By giving holiday gifts, we show that we care about each other.

The value of a gift lies not in its price tag but in the sentiments that accompanies it. If you’re on a shoestring budget this Christmas season, you have absolutely no cause for concern. There are many gifts you can give that are tasteful and inexpensive.

Finding great Xmas gifts is a tough job for many people. You think, plan, cancel plans, make new ones, and then buy a gift which you think the lady,family,children would never like. Why not think a little beforehand and then act according to it. What you need to think about is what the lady,family,children are most specialized in or how they enjoy herself the most. For example, if lady,family,children like to try new fashions and colorful clothing items, then you can buy a wonderful scarf or a muffler for her.
