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
• Card Reader: 5-in-1 digital media card reader
• 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
• Weight: Starting as low as 7.8 lbs
• Speakers: Integrated Altec Lansing stereo speakers
• OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2 or Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2. Optional configuration with Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
• Dual stereo headphone jacks -- one with high-definition audio support (S/PDIF capable)
• 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.
