HP Pavilion tx1000 Review

HP makes a credible case for Vista as highly usable even in an ultralight format. The HP Pavilion tx1000 battery (available for purchase February 28) crams a full suite of multimedia features and even limited Tablet capabilities into an attractive 4.2-pound notebook, complete with an optical drive. It's not the fastest ultraportable on the block, but you get a lot for your money.
 
Borrowing from the look and feel of HP's Pavilion dv series, the black-and-silver tx1000 is certainly a striking ultraportable. The same Imprint finish is present, which consists of subtle wave patterns on the casing, and the glowing blue multimedia buttons above the keyboard further contribute to the futuristic-chic aesthetic. We wish the buttons themselves were a bit larger, though.

The HP tx1000 is a lean mean screaming machine. In fact with the In fact with the AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core TL-60(2.0GHz/1MB) Processor, the HP tx 1000 is the fastest Tablet PC I have ever had the pleasure of using.

Designed from the ground up with ease of use and customer satisfaction in mind HP has done an amazing job of building a full blown Entertainment PC that will appeal to a wide variety of users and provides people with a user friendly, versatile Tablet PC that is portable, innovative and packed with features that enhance the user experience.    

The first thing that comes to mind in terms of the HP Pavilion tx2000 battery is that its fun to use.  I can't put my finger on exactly why its such a pleasure to have around or to use but it is.    What I can tell you is that it has a beautiful screen and the best sounding speakers I've heard on a tablet pc.  Combine that with with all of the easy to use features and it makes it hard to put it down once you start using it.  Another interesting thing I couldn't help but notice was that people using the tx 1000 always seem to have a smile on there face.

 

All of the ports are conveniently laid out along the sides; and helpful, readily visible gray icons identify the connections so you don't have to hunt. Buttons for running HP's QuickPlay software (which lets you play DVDs or music without having to boot Windows) and for rotating the screen occupy the area just below the screen.

Converting from notebook to slate mode is easy, and the 12.1-inch screen rotates into place firmly. One quibble: The screen jiggles a bit when the tablet is in notebook mode and that can be distracting if you are moving--say, if you're on a train. The tablet comes with a responsive touch screen; but unfortunately the screen lacks an antireflective coating. In fact, strangely, it seems to have another kind of coating with a smoky hue that makes seeing anything on the screen at an indirect angle unduly difficult.

• AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 (2.0GHz with 512KB cache)

The HP Pavilion tx1000z ships with an ADM Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile TL-60 processor with integrated NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics that has up to 128MB shared memory. The Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core chipset is AMD's answer for thin and light notebook PCs that requires high multi-tasking performance. It supports simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit computing environments and is compatible with 64-bit Windows Vista. The base model comes with the 1.8GHz AMD TL-56 and you can upgrade it up to the 1.9GHz TL-58 (+$25), 2.0 GHz TL-60 (+$50) or the 2.2 GHz TL-64 for $125 extra when building your own. The processor has 1 meg of level 2 cache (512KB+512KB). The Turion 64 X2 is a good performer in the tx1000 and the benchmarks show it. Popular applications like web browsers, email and Office applications load fast and perform well. It streams media such as music, online radio, Netflix movies with ease. Hardcore gamers who want to play current demanding games like F.E.A.R or the latest QUAKE with MegaTexture and graphics features set to high should look elsewhere (as is generally the case for budget and thin-and-light notebooks). However older and less demanding games such as Rise of Nations 2 and board/puzzle/online casual games run fine on the Pavilion. The HP Pavilion tx2500 battery ships with 1GB of DDR2 system memory (2 DIMM slots) with the option to upgrade to 2GB which is recommended by HP especially if you want to run Aero (the new desktop in Windows Vista). The Pavilion comes with a 80GB (5400 RPM) SATA hard drive with the option to upgrade to 120, 160 or a 200GB drive. One more thing about AMD processors: they run hot. The tx1000z can blow some serious hot air via the fan in the upper and right corner. So be careful not to let that spot contact your skin.

The 6-cell Lithium-Ion battery extended life battery performance was shockingly good, it lasted for about 4.5 hours in balanced (normal) power mode. In addition to this battery, the model we tested included a 4-cell battery that lasted for about 3 hours. Now if you go for this option of carrying two batteries around you are good to go pretty much all-day. This is great for mobile users and it only took an hour to fully recharge the 6-cell battery, so not much downtime. The Pavilion tx1000 battery also offers a power saver mode for light work or a high performance mode for that busy day. The optical bay is swappable with different optical drives, but it is not setup to house a secondary battery.

 

 

The integrated Realtek audio and integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers provide acceptable sound quality for most games, movies, and applications. The sound suffers from lack of bass and less than stellar mid-range vocals, but provides enough clarity and volume for general use. The two speakers are attached to the display and rotate with the screen, which is a nice touch to help direct the sound toward you whenever the screen is rotated. Another nice touch is the dual headphone jacks, which allows two people to both watch and listen to a movie without having to share ear buds.

The integrated webcam is a handy feature that allows you to do video-conferencing or capture still images without having to attach an external device. The resulting video clips and images from the webcam were clear and accurately colored. As with any webcam, low lighting conditions cause problems and result in low-quality images.

The fingerprint reader works well and is useful for logging onto the computer and websites without having to remember multiple passwords. The fingerprint scanning software took a bit more time to complete than I would have liked, as HP tx1000 battery requires fingerprints from multiple fingers on each hand and running your finger across the scanner too quickly results in an invalid scan. Also, in most instances the fingerprint scan takes more than one attempt before it successfully recognizes you, so it isn't always faster than just typing in a user name and password when you are logging into a website.

HP Pavilion DV9500

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv9500. In April 2008 the Nvidia 8600M inside it failed and HP replaced it under warranty.Now,my 2nd Nvidia 8600M GS has failed. Symptoms include artifacts, texture corruption in 3D apps, and a complete and total system lock up which can only be fixed via a hard reboot. Artifacts persist unless I leave the laptop off for an around 20 minutes, at which point I can boot it into safe mode without fear of locking up. I have already reinstalled hp pavilion dv9500 battery and installed the latest drivers for the video card. I spoke with (edit: woops, HP, not Nvidia) and they want me to pay $400 for a new motherboard and 8600M GS. I've seen on multiple sites* that there is a major problem with the 8600M GS failure rate.

This is the second time I have seen a hp pavillion dv9500 laptop with something screwed up. First one was a case where all of a sudden the screen would just not show up anything. nothing. not even if you hooked itup to a second monitor. but it powered on, and you could hear it. ended up getting it diagnosed and got told that the motherboard needed to be replaced, it cost about $500. Now i have one, that when you boot hp pavillion dv9500 series battery up to start windows normally, after about 3 minutes, all of a sudden the screen goes bad, it turns into a bunch of repeating squares ind just stays stuck like that until you power it off. I do not really know what to make of it. I dont know if i want to just go ahead and try to reformat it, or if there is some other hardware component that is likely causing this, or what it is that i should do. Any advice on what to check, what to look for? It seems to boot into safe mode fine... the screen looks completely fine, everything looks totall normal, and then all of the sudden it goes to scribbled lines of squares.

 

 

Key Features of HP Pavilion dv9500:

• AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile 1.80 GHz
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• 17" widescreen high definition display,
• 1GB Dual-channel 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
• 160GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
• Optional HP Integrated Fingerprint reader

Is there any word of dell 310-9080 battery doing something similar? I attempted to bring the issue up with the technician I spoke with but she ignored it. I spoke with her for around an hour and got nowhere. Any advice any of you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Got same problem all of a sudden.
After searching some forums i came across a solution that really worked.
There's some sort of a problem with this chip(dont ask me how and why)

 

So the solution:
1.Remove Heatsink(cpu-vga)
2.Remove nearby pcie wifi or/and bluetooth.
3.Get a hair drier(YES A HAIR DRIER)
4.aim the heat stream direct on the vga chip(aprox. 3cm away) for 5 mins
5.WORKING VGA CHIP AGAIN

Mine works now im actually posting this from my laptop
I'll get the link with from the original poster.
Although he hasnt given specific details on why this fixes the problem but as far as i get it, through time and heat levels some of the chip's pins when hot must not have contact(along with shocks)

Dell Latitude D630 Review

The Dell Latitude D630 laptop was first introduced in 2007. It has a 1.80 Intel core duo processor. A "duo" processor means that you take the processor speed and double it. It shipped with 512MB of RAM and an 80 GB hard drive. It originally sold for $1900 dollars, now you can find one much cheaper on eBay for about $500 dollars. It weighs 5.8 pounds with a dell latitude d630 battery which is a little heavy for a modern laptop. It has a 14.1 inch LCD display that is bright and clear and great for playing games or watching video on.

Combine such superb battery life with one of the other new additions, the integrated HSDPA adapter, and you've got a perfect mobile companion. For a laptop so obviously suited to a life on the road, it's reassuring that build quality is well up to scratch. A single catch holds the lid in place when it's in a bag, and despite weighing just 2.4kg every aspect of the build feels like it will last a lifetime.

That's not to say the Dell is out of its depth back in the confines of an office. The keyboard is a superb example, boasting full-sized keys with a lovely, positive feel, and is only bettered by that of HP's 6910p. The touchpad and trackpoint are equally praiseworthy. Performance has also taken a leap forward, thanks to the considerably faster Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor. Allied with 2GB of memory, this powered the Dell to a fine 1.15 in our benchmarks.

The notebook also incorporates a thorough set of features for business -- including corporate-level security measures and optional WWAN -- for a lower price than competitors such as the Lenovo ThinkPad T61. It's enough to tempt even longtime ThinkPad users to make the switch. Businesses can't go wrong choosing the Dell Latitude D630.

We like the subdued design of the Dell Latitude D630; its grey exterior and black interior will fit into even the most buttoned-up corporate environments. More important, the notebook's magnesium alloy case brings an extra sturdiness that you don't see on consumer systems, and its display hinges are reinforced for the long haul. With its standard battery, the Latitude D630 battery weighs 2.3kg, but our review unit included an extended battery that brought its weight up to 2.6kg. That's near the outer limit for a thin-and-light system, though just 181g heavier than the Lenovo ThinkPad T61. With its AC adapter, the Dell hits the road at 3kg, which is manageable for travel but not something we'd want to carry with us every day.

 

 

Specification:

• Processor: Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo (2.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 4MB Cache)
• Graphics: Intel GMA X3100
• Operating System: Windows Vista Business 32-bit
• Display: WXGA+ 1440 x 900 (matte)

Being a business class laptop, the D630 is very sober in its design and color. It comes with a two-tone matte black-and-gray chassis that looks quite elegant. The construction material is sturdy – the lid and underside of the laptop are made from magnesium alloy. This imparts the body of the Dell D630 battery a certain amount of stiffness, which eliminates any squeaks that might develop over time. The hinges, while not super reinforced as in Lenovo's products, are quite sturdy, nicely designed, and long-lasting.

Another good thing we noticed is that the area surrounding the LCD panel is thicker than normal, that is, the screen is a bit more recessed than usual. This helps to prevent the screen from developing LCD pattern problems that could occur if excessive pressure is applied on the laptop.

This is Dell's first notebooks to support 3.6Mbits per second HSDPA mobile broadband. You get access by inserting a SIM card behind the battery. It's an exclusive tie up with Vodafone, who demands a monthly subscription for the service. However, the unit isn't locked to Vodafone so you could insert any old sim card but Dell won't offer support if you do this.

Under the left palm are situated the 2W speakers, witch have quite a good quality. Very accessible are the quick mute and volume buttons witch are situated just on top of the keyboard.

There are two batteries included in the package, one of them is a standard six-cell battery an extended nine-cell dell latitude d620 battery that juts out from the front of the chassis. Tests have proven that the values for the life of the batteries are not bad at all, the Dell has achieved two hours and 30 minutes for the 9 cell battery and one hour and forty minutes with its standard battery.

In a world where manufacturers regularly adjust key width and placement to fit the width of their notebooks, we appreciate the Dell Latitude D630's standard keyboard, which is quite comfortable for pounding out emails and Word documents. If you don't like the flat-headed pointing stick (not unlike that found on a ThinkPad) with two dedicated mouse buttons below the space bar, you can use the wide, rectangular touchpad, which has its own activation buttons on the wrist rest. If you opt for biometric security (as we did on our system), Dell squeezes a fingerprint reader between the touch pad's buttons; we appreciate the added security but wish the buttons were a bit larger. Above the keyboard sit all the media controls you'll need on a business notebook: volume up, volume down and mute. For a business system, the Latitude D630 has some pretty nice speakers; although the sound became muddled at high volumes, sound in the lower three-quarters of the volume range was full and balanced.

The Dell Latitude D630 battery includes most of the ports and connections we'd expect on a thin-and-light, plus a few extras. It lacks S-Video-out and a multiformat flash card reader (neither of which is essential for business users), but the Latitude D630 does add one more USB port than average, plus a serial port for use with older, specialised peripherals. In addition, the Latitude D630 piles on corporate-level security measures, including not only a fingerprint reader but also a smart card slot and an internal Trusted Platform Module. Another noteworthy feature is the Latitude D630's Wi-Fi On/Off switch, which incorporates a Wi-Fi finder. Sliding the switch past the On position lets you test for nearby Wi-Fi networks, whether you're booted up or powered down on don't even have to turn your system on to find a network.

The fully configurable Latitude D630 can come pre-loaded with new Windows VistaTM , Windows XP or FreeDOS to suit your business needs. IT decision-makers will appreciate the optional encrypted or solid-state* hard drives, along with D-family peripheral commonality. Users will appreciate the multiple graphics cards options, and the added productivity boost of the optional brighter WXGA panel.

This full-featured mainstream laptop enhances the previous generation Latitude D620 with the latest Intel® Core™2 Duo processors, your choice of Intel integrated graphics or NVidia® discrete graphics, and new levels of customisation.

We don't think so. Flash is cool, because it's expensive, and because it does provide significant performance advantages (when SLC flash is used). But while our results are interesting for most users, they will be shocking to road warriors. You will see very clearly in the benchmark section that theory and real life are sometimes entirely different.

We still believe that flash-based drives will be the future for the performance segment, but they must not become a key component for energy-efficient notebooks and ultra-portables — where performance is secondary — as long as their average power consumption is higher than that of conventional 2.5" notebook hard drives. In fact, even a high-performance 7,200 RPM 2.5" drive provided better overall battery runtime than most of the flash SSDs we put through the Mobilemark test.

Dell Latitude D630 is a premium unit with increased specifications separating it from the D530, but trailing the D430 model. This model's design is focused on mobility while functioning as a reliable business tool, while its price, starting at $1,085 reflects its position within the Latitude line-up. The Intel Core 2 Duo processor works with a 2.33 GHz CPU speed, and the graphics are supported by a standard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. The 14.1" WXGA display is compact and is intended for users sensitive to weight and mobility. What separates the D630 from lower Latitude models is its connectivity package. Found standard is Intel PRO/Wireless 802.11a/g/Draft-N and Wireless 360 Bluetooth, while Built-in WiFi Catcher increases the laptops network connecting capabilities. There is still room for customizable options on the toshiba satellite 2410 battery, from optical drive to security features like the UPEK finger print reader to help protect user privacy.

Dell has recently emerged with its all new Note Book model Latitude TM D630 to provide an end - to - end solutions to its customers. With about 9.4 hours battery back up and the mobile nature these notebooks are definitely going to capture the market. ?Customers are sending us the message that they want mobile products with the latest features but no added complexities that can distract them from building their businesses,? said Margaret Franco, director, Dell Product Group. With hard drive that enables utmost security without any performance thrashing Latitude D630 notebooks displays are up to 38 percent brighter than the previous inventions. They have HyperConnectTM features that permit users to work from practically anyplace with integrated 802.11n wireless connectivity for increased throughput and range. Dell is also coming out in few days with an Optional solid state (SSD) drive weeks that delivers performance, dependability and stability as the flash-based storage would not have moving parts.

The Dell Latitude D630 battery replacement is a decently compact and nicely designed chassis with an awesome line of options available. As tested, there is no doubt that a notebook such as this would cater to most business and home users alike. However, the Latitude line is not available for sale under Dell's Home and Home Office section. Move onto Small and Medium-sized Businesses, and you will find it, but to order from here, you'd need a business license to order from that section.

The way Dell gleefully installed Windows XP without much clutter-ware bodes well for repeating and/or large corporate orders, and a solidly built system (besides the keyboard), a well designed keyboard and pointing system, as well as its light weight and long battery life helps push the D630 up the corporate ladder's favorites list.

Dell Inspiron E1505 Notebook Review

Dell's Inspiron E1505 thin and light notebook offers some strong performance from its processor and hard drive but it is held back by its memory and graphics.

Weighing in at a relatively hefty 6.8 pounds and measuring 1.4 inches thick, the Dell Inspiron E1505 battery sports a roomy full-sized keyboard that makes prolonged typing comfortable. Air vents flank the left and right sides of the chassis for keeping the machine cool during extended use. The large touchpad with built-in horizontal and vertical scroll areas make navigating Web pages a breeze. Beneath the touchpad, embedded in the bezel, are DVD/CD controls that illuminate when pressed.

 

 

 

The Inspiron E1505 reviewed here was configured as follows:

• Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 at 2.0 GHz per core.
• 15.4" Ultrasharp SXGA+ display with TrueLife
• 512MB DDR2 533MHz RAM in dual channel mode
• Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
• 100GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
• 8X DVD +/- dual layer recorder
• 53 watt-hour 6-cell battery

The 15.4-inch UltraSharp widescreen display delivered strong colors when watching DVDs, even from a variety of angles. The speakers, which are located on either side of the playback controls, produced surprisingly good sound, even though the bass was a bit weak. This configuration has an 80GB hard drive for storing your digital music collection, along with gobs of photos and videos.

The Dell 6400 battery core duo processor is some of the newest and best technology. If you are like me, you like to do a hundred different things at once. And that is perfect with this processor.

The core duo makes it very easy to do things at the same time. You can run your anti-virus software and check your email at the same time and not worry about things getting slowed down.

The 1.66GHz processor is very fast with today's programs. However, ff you plan on keeping your laptop for a long time you might want to upgrade to a little bit faster like the 1.83 GHz or the 2GHz.

Storage space starts out at a respectable 60GB hard drive. You can beef the size of the drive up to 120GB for $75 or make it a faster 7,200rpm drive for $175, depending on whether you want more space or higher performance.

The optical drive on this portable computer isn't top of the line, just a basic CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive. This drive will burn audio and data and play DVD movies, but it can't handle any DVD media burns. If you want a DVD writer, Dell offers an upgrade to a Dual Layer DVD burner for a reasonable $30 over baseline. This drive can handle CD and DVD burns as well as burns to high capacity DL media that stores up to 8.5GB on a single disk.

These Inspiron E1505 battery portable computers ship with Windows XP Media Center operating system, so they're well suited for handling multimedia files. There's no TV tuner built in, so if you want to use these laptops for watching and recording television, you'll have to add an external tuner. They do offer Dell's MediaDirect software so you can play music CDs or DVD movies without having to boot up the entire operating system.

Dell Home Systems Inspiron E1505 is a laptop powered with Intel Dual Core processor, DDR2 Dual Channel memory and 15.4-inch Ultrasharp SXGA+ widescreen LCD display with TrueLife. The notebook aims to deliver quality entertainment experience beside unbeatable productivity.

Although this is a mid-range computer, an important benefit that the Dell Inspiron 6400 battery offers is the Intel Core Duo dual processor. While I have never been someone who pushes the limits of what his computer can do, I do utilize some applications that are processor-intensive. For example, which is a part of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence through the University of California at Berkeley. This means that my computer is processing radio-telescope data from the observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. While this program only uses the unused processor cycles, so it operates seamlessly with whatever else one may be running, a benefit to the Core Duo processor is that the Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop is able to process double the data compared to a computer with just a single processor.

The more RAM your laptop has, the faster programs will run and the greater number of windows you can work in at one time. If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.

The new model weighs 0.4 pound less than its predecessor and contains a raft of upgraded components, including Intel Core Solo or Core Duo processors in speeds up to 2GHz; up to 2GB of swift 533MHz RAM; and a screaming 7,200rpm, 100GB hard drive. In keeping with its multimedia bent, the E1505's 15.4-inch wide-screen display comes in WXGA or WSXGA native resolutions. Like its larger sibling, the E1705, the dell inspiron 1521 battery includes Dell's MediaDirect feature, which plays CDs and DVDs and lets you access photos and other media files stored on your hard drive without booting up Windows first. There's also a full suite of ports and connectors, including FireWire, VGA, S-Video, and four USB 2.0 ports, plus both PC Card and ExpressCard slots.

The Dell E1505 and Dell Inspiron 6400 battery systems are available immediately in the Americas. The $929 starting configuration includes an Intel Core Solo T1300 processor, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, 512 MB DDR2 memory, 40 GB(2) hard drive, six-cell battery, and one-year limited warranty.(7) A similar configuration with a Core Duo T2300 processor starts at $979.

Acer TravelMate 290 Review

The Acer TravelMate 290 series is one of the most handsome, versatile, and long-lasting budget laptops on the market. It comes with Intel Centrino technology and costs as little as AU$2499 for the bare-bones configuration, though we recommend a few upgrades; the price difference to add a DVD burner to the Acer TravelMate 290 battery is pretty good value for a notebook. While the price may say mainstream notebook, many of the features scream thin-and-light laptop. For instance, you can swap media modules in the TravelMate 290 series, which you can't do with most mainstream notebooks. It also achieved extra-long battery life in our Labs' drain tests. Despite a few design letdowns, students and families on tight budgets should give it serious consideration.

Editor's Note: The Acer Travelmate tested here varies ever so slightly from the locally available version; in the US the memory specification drops to 128MB and various hard drive sizes are available.
Although the Acer TravelMate 290 series falls into the mainstream category, the laptop's case measures a trim 3.2cm and weighs 2.8kg (3.2kg with the AC adapter). The chassis is 33.2cm wide by 27.4 inches deep, making room for a 14-inch screen in a purplish-silvery, titanium-alloy lid. The dark-grey, plastic base features a rubber shock absorber directly under the hard drive. The well-designed lid latch opens easily with one hand.

Acer's big keyboard is a letdown. Unlike the mildly U-shaped, hand-friendly keyboards found on other Acer notebooks, the TravelMate 290 battery features a straight one. It operates quietly, but it sags under pressure and gives poor feedback. The important keys are large, as you'd expect for the chassis size, and the touchpad is also spacious and smooth, with two mouse buttons below it. (There's no pointing stick.)

Icons and text appeared nice and big when displayed at the screen's native resolution of 1,024x768, but colours looked a bit washed out, especially reds and yellows. DVD movies surprised us when they made a slightly jerky start, even at two-thirds screen. Speaking of DVD movies, they load easily into the front-loading DVD drive HP Pavilion dv8000 battery. The swappable media bay can also hold a DVD-R/-RW burner, a rare option on a budget notebook. Stereo speakers at the left and right corners of the front edge sound raspy when turned up high, but at a reasonable office volume, they play speech and music clearly.

The TravelMate 290 offers plenty of ports and slots for the average user. It features three USB 2.0 ports, a single Type II PC Card slot, four-pin FireWire, parallel, Ethernet, modem, VGA/video-out, and S-Video-out ports. There's no built-in floppy drive, but you can attach an external floppy via USB.

The notebook ships with either the Windows XP Home or the XP Professional operating system. You also get a healthy mix of additional software, including Norton AntiVirus, Adobe Acrobat Reader, CyberLink PowerDVD XP 4.0, and NTI CD-Maker 6.0.

The Acer TravelMate 290 is the fastest 1.3GHz Pentium M-based system we've tested yet, easily beating its closest competitor. The Intel 82852 GME Extreme Graphics Controller shares system memory, but surprisingly, this architecture did not hurt performance as much as we've seen in the past. Acer configured the TravelMate 290LMi so that its processor would not throttle down too much, giving it a performance edge. When it comes to office and content-creation apps, the dell xps m1730 battery is one of the best mobile performers in its class.

In battery tests, the Acer TravelMate 290LMi lasted more than five hours, placing second to the IBM Thinkpad R40, but still in a very healthy spot. The system owes its great battery life to its power-efficient Pentium M processor and 14.8V, 4,300mAh (64WHr) battery. The IBM ThinkPad R40 came in first place using the same 1.3GHz Pentium M processor as the battery for TravelMate 290 and a less powerful 14.4V, 4,000mAh (58WHr) battery. Acer has once again achieved the elusive balance of great performance and long battery life when running office and content-creation apps.

Dell Inspiron 1520 Battery Won't Charge

My Dell Inspiron 1520 battery will not charge. My AC Adapter is fine and powering the laptop, but the battery, that IS connected (I have taken it out and put it back in) has remained at 0% for the last few days. I recently posted this complaint in another thread, but after reading so many similar complaints, I realized I should make my own. I now understand the warranty for a battery is 1 year, but I have a few very frustrating issues with this:

First, I purchased the 3 year extended warranty assuming all parts would be included- this is, to me, common sense regardless of whether the battery is considered a consumable product or not.

Second, I have had this laptop for only 13 and half months! This feels terrible- a product which I have had a 1 year warranty for (which I assumed was 3 years) has died a month and a half after it would have been freely replaced. I am a poor college student, and this laptop was expensive enough when I bought it!

And last, I have rarely used this Inspiron 1520 battery! I have taken it on only 4-5 car trips, and I can not even recall the last time (minus right now) the battery went to 0%, as I ALWAYS have it plugged in; in fact, I would surmise that if I were to use my battery as much as the average user (certainly more than me) then this battery probably would have died long ago when it was actually under its separate and special warranty! Should I be penalized for rarely using what appears to be a bad product? After all, minus the aforementioned car rides, the only time I've really used the battery is when the charger has accidentally been unplugged! As I responded in the other thread, if a product is going to be considered consumable, perhaps it should do its job more than a handful of times before malfunctioning!

I do hope this is a different problem altogether and not my hp compaq business notebook nc6120 battery, and if so, I apologize, but, after reading many similar situations, the only problem here seems to be with the battery, and this is very frustrating!

Dell XPS M1330 Laptop PC Review

The M1330's distinctive wedge shape looks sharp, as did our test unit's blue-and-silver color scheme (black, white, or crimson are also available). Flip the lid and you'll find a full-size keyboard that's second—just barely—to the dell xps m1330 battery in comfort and feel. The touchpad is on the small side, but we appreciate the dedicated horizontal and vertical scroll areas.

You'll also find a row of capacitive-touch multimedia buttons above the Function keys, including a Media Direct button for accessing your content without booting into Windows and an eject button for the slot-loading DVD burner. We wish there were a Blu-ray drive option, given the M1330's HDMI port. Dell also bundles noise-isolating earbuds and a remote control that slips into the ExpressCard slot.

The Dell XPS M1330 is a 13.3" screen ultraportable from Dell that uses the new Intel Santa Rosa platform, has a dedicated NVidia 8400GM video card, built-in web camera, slot loading DVD drive. Check out Coupon codes available for the Inspiron 1525 battery on our Dell Coupon page.

While a worthwhile vendor of mass-market mainstream laptops and desktops, Dell has never been known as an innovator in consumer product design. In fact, the company's stodgy, boxy products have been blamed for a loss of market share to the bolder design strokes of competitors such as HP and Gateway. That's what makes the new 13-inch XPS M1330 battery such a pleasant surprise. From our first behind-closed-doors peek at it last month, we've been impressed with the emphasis on the user experience in this superthin, high-end laptop, from the slot-loading DVD drive to the touch-sensitive media buttons and HDMI-output jack. At $2,000 and up, it's definitely a premium product, but worth it if head-turning design is as important to you as specs and performance.

The Dell XPS M1330 is an ultraportable performance laptop that's part of the XPS line of notebooks which focus on power and features. The 13.3" screen is LED backlit based which allows for a slimmer profile hp compaq business notebook 6715b battery. Similar to other laptops in this price range, the M1330 is built on Intel's Santa Rosa platform which includes the Core 2 Duo processor, integrated B/G/N wireless, and Bluetooth. A separate video card, the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, is available as a configuration option as an upgrade over the standard integrated graphics.

So there's my story. All in all, it went relatively smooth. To top things off, I went ahead and bought a new Logitech G7 Wireless mouse. I'm partial to Logitech because the fit is perfect for my right hand. I replaced my previous Logitech with this one. Very nice! Carbon fiber look, comes with a battery charger that runs on USB. Additionally, I bought a Logitech USB port extender dell inspiron 1501 battery. The Dell XPS M1330 comes with two USB ports. One on each side. Since I work in a recliner, I needed them both on the right side, where my end table is. So, with the port extender, I can plug it in on the right side, then plug in my external USB hard drive, the G7 USB connector and a few other toys.

What could be better? The Dell XPS M1330 is incredibly faster than my old 2.6 P4 Inspiron 1150. The display is bright, very nice, and I'm really liking the move from XP to Vista. Plenty of ram to keep photoshop, dreamweaver, ftp, half a dozen browsers, Eudora (email), and other apps open, without even a hint of system drag. Worth every penny

The M1330 retains a dedicated graphics processor, but Dell claims that at just 25mm its machine is the thinnest 13.3in laptop in the world. Well, until the MacBook Air goes on sale - the Apple's machine's thickest part is thinner than the Dell's thinnest...

But these are not directly comparable machines. The first thing that sprang to mind when we clapped eyes on the M1330 was just how similar it is to sony np-f970 battery. With a 13.3in display, wedge-shaped chassis heavily tapered at the front and brushed aluminium palm rests, it could be the Sony's long-lost brother.

In fact, Sony must be pretty miffed, as not only does the XPS share the SZ's good points, it also adds a dash of style and colour. If black doesn't do it for you, Dell also sells the XPS in Crimson Red - however, the additional colours available on other Dell products are strangely absent.

It turns out that, surprise surprise, you pay a premium for a tiny form factor. The MacBook Air is seriously expensive for the guts you get inside, but Apple isn't the only company guilty of charging insane amounts for smaller computers. Just look at the Sony Vaio TZ150N, for example. $2,100 for a 1.06 GHz processor? Are you kidding me? I don't care how small, it's still a rip-off.

The best deal—if you don't mind an extra pound of weight and half-inch of thickness—is the Dell XPS M1330. It bests the MacBook Air in nearly every single category, delivering about 30% more processing power, 50% more memory, over 300% more hard drive space, plus a dedicated graphics card. All of this, for $300 less. But also, two hours less of battery life, thanks to the new smaller and more efficient Core 2 Duo processor in the MacBook Air.

But it's really no surprise that a form factor as striking as the MacBook Air's warrants a premium price. Super-slim and light laptops as a category have yet to come down from the stratosphere, dollar-wise. It's a form factor that SSD just makes loads of sense for, lightening them up and cutting down on dell xps m1530 battery life, but that drives the price up even further for the time being. Chips are still getting smaller and screen technology keeps improving. In a couple of years, these form factors will be reasonably priced with great specs, but until then, prepare to pay a huge chunk more for a bit less power, just so you can brag about having the thinnest computer on the block.

Compaq Presario V4000 series Laptop PC Reviews

The mid-tier Presario V4000 notebook from HP/Compaq hits a nice sweet spot in terms of both price and performance. Starting out at $749 after rebate, this laptop line offers good speed and a solid list of components without needing too many upgrades.

That starting price gives you a 1.3GHz Intel Celeron M processor and 256MB of DDR memory, so you might want to spend a little to upgrade the power core. You can jump to 512MB of memory for $50 and step up to a 1.5GHz Pentium M processor for $125, both manageable upgrades that will really boost performance.

The large 15.4-inch widescreen display is great for watching DVDs or just making sure you can get all of your application or document on screen at once. If you're doing a lot of graphics work, you may want to opt for the $25 upgrade to a Brightview screen--it's the same size, but gives you sharper contrast and brighter colors. Speaking of graphics, the dell xps m1530 battery relies on an integrated processor which shares video memory with the system, so it's not a great gaming machine.

Below are the notebook's specifications as reviewed:

• Compaq Presario R4125CA
• Processor: 2.2 GHz AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+
• Memory: 512MB (2 x 256MB) 333MHz DDR (Max. 2048MB)
• Video: ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M IGP (128MB Dedicated Memory)
• Display: 15.4" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display
• Hard Drive: 100GB (4200 RPM)
• Optical Drive: DVD R/RW and CD-RW Combo Drive with Double Layer Support
• Fax/Modem: High Speed 56k Modem
• Network Card: Integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN
• Wireless: 54g 802.11b/g WLAN with SpeedBooster and BroadRange support
• Power: 8 Cell Lithium-Ion Battery
• Microsoft Windows XP Home with SP2

Very few low range notebooks are able to flaunt a powerful, crisp, clean screen along with its low price. Toshiba pa3383u-1brs battery are great notebooks to buy for the screen, powered by the TruBrite technology. Besides Toshiba very few can proudly talk about their screen. I have talked about this before, when manufacturers are forced to choose between different qualities and features on their notebooks. This time, Compaq just chose to ignore the significance of a good screen, which they could have improved easily. When watching movies, the screen has lack of brightness which I couldn't adjust. It seemed dull and vapid enough for me not to enjoy the movie completely. The screen was impressive in size though measured at 15.4 in, but screens that large will simply accentuate the dullness. The big screened notebooks must be crisp and clear.

Despite the screen quality, there is nothing lacking in the sound quality. A pair of high quality JBL speakers gave a great effect when playing music. They have a nice three button external adjustment which is convenient after just trying out a notebook that had no external control. The extra problem of opening the Windows control is more annoying than people believe; especially for me as I constantly adjust volume during movies to either boost conversation volume or quite action scenes. There have been speaker problems with almost every notebook Ive reviewed and I began to believe that low price notebooks and good sound couldnt go together. Im relieved that I was wrong.

Our Presario V4000 test system came equipped with the latest mobile components, including a 2.0GHz Pentium M processor, an 80GB hard drive, and 1GB of 333MHz memory--the maximum amount of RAM the V4000 can accommodate. A bonus is the double-layer DVD burner; for a reasonable fee, you can add HP's LightScribe technology to laser-etch labels directly on the disc's surface. While it's a dell inspiron 1501 battery tolerable movie machine, the Presario V4000 lacks the Pavilion dv4000's instant-play features and remote control, and the V4000's stereo speakers sound too soft. Its 15.4-inch wide-screen BrightView display, with a 1,280x800 native resolution, looked slightly washed-out but offered a good amount of screen real estate. With an integrated Intel 915 graphics accelerator that uses up to 128MB of system memory, the Presario V4000 is not suitable for high-end gamer who require dedicated video memory.

As I have stated, I was planning to have this notebook plugged into power for the most part, so battery life was not the biggest concern for me. This package comes with the 8-cell battery, and if mobility is important to you with this laptop, it would be wise to upgrade to a 12 cell COMPAQ PRESARIO V4000 SERIES battery or get a spare. The advertised battery life was 3 hours; however I have found it to be closer to around 2 hours and 15 minutes. However turning options off like wireless, and keeping screen brightness down, could increase this and get it closer to the advertised figure.

As you can probably feel from the review, I'm a big fan of this notebook and am glad I purchased it. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a notebook with lots of features, lots of power, and presario v4000 battery that doesn't bust the bank. This would be great for a student looking for something that can handle office applications but has enough power to handle most popular games.

Dell Inspiron 1501 Review

The Dell Inspiron 1501 is a 15.4" widescreen notebook now available with the AMD Sempron, Turion or Turion X2 processor. The dell inspiron 1501 battery has a subset of the Intel based Inspiron e1505 features and carries the same basic design and build as that popular laptop. Unfortunately, Dell cut features on the Inspiron 1501 but didn't cut its price a whole lot relative to the e1505. Unless you really want an AMD processor, it's hard to recommend this machine over the only slightly more expensive and better e1505.

The Dell Inspiron 1501 is a 15.4" screen notebook available with the AMD Turion, Turion X2 and Sempron processors. Buyers seeking a versatile solution with a larger display for mainstream multimedia and productivity tasks should choose this notebook.

 

In terms of design, the 1501 is identical to the Dell Inspiron E1505 battery. Both measure 14 x 10.4 x 1.4 inches and have speakers integrated into the front bezel, air vents flanking the left and right sides of the chassis, large touchpads with built-in scroll areas (that make for easy Web page navigation), 80GB hard drives, and non-offensive, silver-and-white color schemes. Although the 1501 weighs slightly less (6.4 pounds vs. 6.2 pounds), the lack of dedicated CD/DVD controls is a glaring omission, even in a budget mainstream machine. When we wanted to raise or lower the volume of a DVD or skip chapters, we had to use the software's far less intuitive controls.
 
The 15.4-inch widescreen produced strong colors when playing a DVD, but the viewing angles were tight on our TrueLife anti-glare display. Staying centered in front of the screen is the only way to truly enjoy the visuals, so watching a movie with a friend may be out of the question.

The Inspiron 1501's front side is free of ports. Also on the left side it has only the DVD drive, an Kensington lock and the fan holes.At the backside there are a VGA-out for connecting an external display, a modem and a LAN port, the power connector and 2 USB 2.0 ports. At the right side there are two further USB 2.0 ports, a connector for a headset and a microphone, a 3in1 Cardreader and an ExpressCard slot.

 

At a closer look, one can see that Dell somewhat skimped on ports. E.g  a firewire port or a S-Video out are missing. Furthermore, an optical sound out (S/PDIF) would be sometimes useful. However, the 4 USB 2.0 have to be rated positively as well as the order of the ports.

This computer does not deserve to be called a computer. Ours had to have the fan replaced, the battery replaced, the power supply replaced, DVD runs like a mack truck engine, the extended hp pavilion zd7000 battery we bought did not have an extended life, the computer shuts off randomly, it looses files and the hard drive crashes and has to be reloaded, screen goes black and tiny boxes with multi colored dots appear on the screen, maintenance programming completed and it still does not work correctly. Last time we called for service no one returned our call. I tried 6 times. Then went online to request maintenance....funny thing....never heard from anyone but I did receive a survey to complete describing my experience with the recent maintenance request.....completed it and then nothing. Still stuck with the same worthless computer that is out of warranty. Imagine that. Stay away from this Dell computer.

Decked out in silver, white, and dark gray, the dell 1501 battery won't be mistaken for a business notebook, but its looks are suitably understated for the meeting room. The laptop measures 1.4x14x10.5 inches and weighs 6.2 pounds, straddling the line between travel companion and stay-at-home desktop replacement. It has a sturdy build, too, and feels like it could take a few knocks.

The 15.4-inch WXGA (1,280x800-resolution) display, which uses Dell's contrast-improving TrueLife technology, is definitely a highlight. Text was sharp, and DVDs and Vista's Aero interface looked great. An integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 adapter that shares up to 256MB of system memory powers the graphics. Casual gamers won't be disappointed with this chip.

Cheap Quite tough Good toshiba satellite m30 series battery life Little bloatware Good and fast support Reliable performance (did not crash even once) Good keyboard and touchpad Cold...Weak CPU, no dedicated video card option No FireWire port (you can buy ExpressCard to FireWire adapter) No...The Inspiron 1501 is a low-cost version of the top selling Inspiron 6400/e1505 series to keep budget-minded.

To meet your PC needs, the Dell Inspiron 1501 can be built with a range of AMD processors, including Sempron, TurionTM 64 and TurionTM 64 X2 series chips. The AMD TurionTM 64 X2 offers dual-core technology which can provide substantial improvements over dell xps m1730 battery single-core counterpart.

HP Pavilion DV9000 Review

With the HD-friendly Pavilion dv9000t, HP shows that it continues to take entertainment seriously when designing its laptops. The latest iteration of the desktop replacement incorporates a bevy of high-end components, such as a Core 2 Duo processor, discrete Nvidia graphics, and a built-in HD-DVD drive, into its lightweight case. Add in the dv9000t's sleek design, with its echoes of consumer electronics devices, and you have a system that will look as good in the living room as on the desktop. While the new processor didn't add up to the greatest performance we've seen (that distinction belongs to more gaming-oriented systems, such as the Dell XPS M1710), the HP Pavilion dv9000 battery is a great choice for home users who want their laptop to double as an entertainment system.

HP Pavilion DV9000 Notebook Full Specs:

• Screen: 17" WXGA+ (1440 x 900) Brightview standard. Optional WXGA+ Ultra Brightview or WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) Brightview display.
• Processor: Available with Mobile AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 discrete graphics with 256MB dedicated DDR2 VRAM

• Four USB 2.0 ports
• ExpressCard 54 slot
• Wireless: Integrated wireless support for 802.11 a/b/g Wireless LAN and Bluetooth on select models
• Dual hard disk drive option with combined capacity up to 240GB
• 8-cell Li-Ion battery

• Optional HP webcam with integrated dual stereo microphones.

We decided to pit the ibm thinkpad r40 battery against the Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV660, the successor to the Qosmio G35-AV650, the world's first notebook with an integrated HD-DVD drive, by booting up the hi-def version of The Bourne Supremacy. On the dv9000t, the movie looked incrementally better than a standard-definition DVD, but on the G35-AV660, the colors were much more vibrant, and the images were notably sharper. That's because the Qosmio sports a 1920 x 1200-pixel resolution LCD, compared with our dv9000t's 1440 x 900-pixel screen. Spending an extra $50 will get you a more HD-friendly 1680 x 1050 pixels, but HP doesn't offer an 1920 x 1200-pixel option. On the plus side, we like that you can play HD DVDs on the dv9000t using QuickPlay.

  

We then output the visuals from both notebooks to the HP LC3260N--a 32-inch television--via an HDMI cable. We were less than thrilled with the dv9000t's visuals. The colors and crispness were still ho-hum, even though we were watching the movie on a much larger screen. Although the G35-AV660 didn't display images on the big screen with as much pop as it did on its own monitor, The Bourne Supremacy looked sharper and had better color balance when fed through that notebook than it did through the Toshiba PA3291U-1BRS battery.

In addition to the large storage capacity, HP has also included a full two gigabytes of memory to complement the Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor. This is double what most desktop replacements offer and allows the system to power through memory intensive applications or multitasking better than its competitors. So, if you are looking for raw performance, the dv9040us does do quite well although it isn't the top.

The new TI gauge is more accurate than today's gauges, which measure a battery's voltage, because it measures a number of electrical properties. Voltage-only-based gauges are erratic and unreliable because voltage doesn't fall steadily as the battery is discharged. What's more, the voltage changes as the battery ages and experiences different temperatures. It also varies with different power demands on the battery.

17" notebook PCs aren't known for their ability to leave AC outlets for long. The battery for hp pavilion dv9000 laptop surprised us by going 2 hours and 44 minutes on a charge using the default power management settings with WiFi on and active. This was in a mix of web surfing and business oriented tasks. Don't expect to play Doom III for that long unplugged! We like the brightness set at 75% to 85% and happily battery life didn't take a complete nose dive with the large panel set that high: it reduced runtimes to 2 hours and 27 minutes. An 8 cell Lithium Ion battery is standard and HP also offers an extended 8 cell high capacity battery for those who roam with their 8 pound buddy in tow. The 90w AC adapter is light and compact, and it's one of the few that still uses 3 prongs. It's a world charger that supports 100-240v at 50-60Hz.

Vista "Windows Experience Index" rating of 4.5/4.6 depending on run. Very powerful graphics card for a dell inspiron 1525 battery. Ignore what the other guy said about boot times in Vista - yes it sucks - but if you actually heed Microsoft's advice and use hibernate instead, which is intended with Vista, boot from switched off is approximately 30 secs and FAR faster (this is slightly tuned without unneeded startup/service/sidebar rubbish). Memory is adequate, but you may be better off getting 2GB instead (replacing both 512MBs inside with 1GBs).

Note the one of the biggest battery drains in Vista on a laptop is the background indexing service - this increases hard disk usage - disable it in the services.

The Core 2 Duo T7300 processor 2Ghz and 2GB of RAM (up to 4GB) can handle all from standard application to hardcore multitasking. In the top of the display there's a webcam VGA resolution which deliver clear skype video call even in low light environment. The NVIDIA 8600MB GS graphic card with 256 MB memory give dell inspiron 6400 battery a wonderful game experience. The notebook price at $2,074 and available on the market.

Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Review

We recently reviewed the largest system in Dell's XPS range, the huge desktop 720 H2C. Now meet the smallest; the stylish M1330, Dell's latest ultraportable notebook which replaces the XPS M1210 battery. Just calling it stylish is really doing it an injustice, as it's Dells most desirable notebook to date. But it's not had a trouble-free birth, due to some production problems that have now largely been worked through.



Finally! Having waited for what seemed like an age to get our mucky paws on Dell's latest and possibly greatest consumer notebook, we can bring you a review of the Dell XPS M1330 battery. Doubtless anyone who has already ordered one will be able to substantiate this frustration, because Dell has been struggling to fulfil orders of its latest consumer notebook due to some well publicised production issues. Thankfully, those issues seem to have been alleviated somewhat, though that'll be of little consolation to those who've been waiting for theirs to arrive.

We found the notebook's speakers plenty loud but the bass weak, especially at the top volumes. Dell bundles noise-isolating earbuds, which sounded spectacular for both movies and music. We'd like to see some visual feedback when adjusting volume with the media buttons and the remote, but beyond that, watching movies or listening to music on a plane will be a blast with this screen and earbud combo.

Like its predecessor, the XPS M1330 packs a lot of power into a compact frame. Intel's 2-GHz Next Generation Core 2 Duo processor, along with 2GB of RAM, paced this system to a very strong PCMark05 score of 4,545; that's about 1,000 points higher than average for a thin-and-light system. Regular productivity tasks were speedy as well, even with several windows open, and the Toshiba PA3399U-1BAS battery handled Vista's Aero interface with ease.

This notebook pumps out plenty of eye candy, at least for casual gamers. Thanks to Nvidia's GeForce 8400M GS graphics card with 128MB video memory, the M1330 turned in a way-above-average 3DMark03 score of 5,196. The hp pavilion dv9000 battery garnered decent F.E.A.R. scores of 56 and 15 frames per second on autodetect and maximum settings, respectively. Having an HDMI output on board means you'll be able to output video and audio to a larger screen via a single port, whether you're playing games or watching movies. Too bad Dell doesn't include a Blu-ray or HD-DVD drive option..

I was looking for a small, portable and light laptop but still with good performance for my wife when I first saw the reviews for XPS M1330. We liked the components vs. price and of course the design and weight. I was a bit sceptic about our decision to buy and try it but all my concerns disappeared when I had our new laptop running in my hands. I was amazed; it was small, fast, good looking and relatively light. I was not willing to give the laptop to my wife during the first tree weeks... If you are looking for something light with smaller display (not for continuous gaming) and good performance then go for it. You will love it.

Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa T7300 2.0Ghz

There are very few 13-inch laptops on the market that bring the caliber of hardware and performance of the Dell XPS M1330. We’re getting a glimpse of the future in ultraportable power with the Dell XPS M1330. Game-capable graphics, blazing processor speed, and a pile of RAM all packed into a lovely chassis that’s as comfortable to carry as a hardback airport romance novel. Despite the extra cash you’ll shell out, we think the hp compaq business notebook nx6125 battery is the clear choice over other cheaper, less powerful notebooks.

The M1330 is a joy to use. The full-size keyboard is exceedingly comfortable to type on, and we love the touch-sensitive multimedia control buttons above the function-key row. The touch pad and mouse buttons are slightly small, but the buttons are quiet, and the pad includes marked horizontal and vertical scroll areas.

The real draw is the option to get a wide-screen (1,280x800) LED-backlit display—a $200 premium that's worth every penny. Employing 32 LEDs instead of a fluorescent tube to illuminate the LCD pixels, it's brighter than traditional screens and delivers a higher contrast ratio that makes images pop. The LEDs also use anywhere from 25 percent to 66 percent less power than a fluorescent tube (depending on the brightness level), boosting battery life. On the M1330, DVDs showed lifelike color reproduction and very good shadow detail. Sound quality from the built-in stereo speakers was a bit thin and lacking in bass, but they delivered respectable volume for a portable this size, with no distortion.

The Sony does lag behind the M1330 when it comes to battery performance. This is where that nine-cell battery plays an important role. In running down while playing a DVD movie, the M1330 lasted 3 hours 23 minutes. Normal day-to-day computing activities can probably get you well over 5 hours. You'll get an extra 22 minutes worth of battery life with the acer aspire 3680 battery, making it slightly better for travel, but you lose the luxury of having a built-in optical drive. The M1330's nine-cell battery adds to the weight, but you can always swap it out for a four-cell or cell-cell battery, which doesn't get you as much juice. If it were up to me, I'd take the nine-cell despite the extra weight.

It's been a while since Dell delivered a laptop that possessed so many awe-inspiring features. The Dell XPS M1330 is a monumental step in that it takes the best things from other great ultraportables and combines them into a single entity. My only peeve is that the weight can get up there with the nine-cell battery. Otherwise, this ultraportable should easily sit at the top of any laptop shopping list.

Many of the back-to-school laptops we've looked at in the $1,000-plus category have CPUs and chipsets from Intel's new Centrino 2 platform. The XPS 1330 battery was one of a handful with older parts, including a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 CPU. That's still the non-Centrino-2 medium-to-high-end default, and gave us decent performance all-around. Going forward, a refreshed version of the 1330 selling for the same price should have Intel's new P8400 CPU.

The system fan and heatsinks in the M1330 do a great job managing heat when the system is under load ... as we discovered when we ran multiple benchmarks back to back. The CPU temperature peaked at only 58 degrees Celsius during multiple 3DMark05 and 3DMark06 tests. The fan moved a significant amount of hot air but the noise was reasonably low and wasn't noticeable over background noise unless the room was perfectly quiet.

One thing to mention is that we kept the 9-cell extended life battery attached to the M1330 during these benchmarks. The extended life battery lifts the system off the desk and allows air to move under the notebook case ... helping to cool the system. When we performed the same benchmarks with the standard acer travelmate 240 series battery (with the case resting flush against the desk) the CPU temperatures peaked at 64 degrees Celsius.

The attractive brushed aluminum surface of the palm rests did heat up during benchmarking, but the temperatures remained at comfortable levels. The left palm rest was slightly warmer than the right. If you are particularly sensitive to temperatures you might find the warmth uncomfortable, but most users will be unlikely to complain about this.

The hard drive in our pre-production unit was virtually silent and made no audible squeals or scratching noises. The overall lack of noise coming from the fan and hard drive on the M1330 should be a welcome surprise for people with sensitive hearing ... particularly for those who owned the M1210. In fact, the only noticeable amount of unwelcome noise coming from the M1330 is from the slot-loading drive when it loads or ejects a disk.

The M1330 has most of the inputs and outputs you would expect (USB, FireWire, flash-memory-card reader, ExpressCard slot, VGA, LAN), plus two headphone jacks and a welcome High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port for connecting to an external high-definition television (HDTV). But the laptop has only two USB ports (most laptops nowadays have at least three) and no modem jack (so dial-up users need not apply).

With its handsome design, sharp screen, and extensive list of options, it's hard not to love the dell xps m1730 battery. For buyers who need a constant computing companion, it's worth a long look.
