samsung_np-n120

Netbooks have been available for quite some time and most entry-level netbooks also utilize the Intel Atom processor which allows for lower power consumption which would then result to longer battery hours but at the same time sacrifice performance as well. That is why most netbooks are meant to be used lightly as most often than not, they are incapable of doing mid-range to high-performance tasks as well. However, a lot of people do like netbooks as these are a cheaper alternative to laptops and it is highly portable as well.

The Samsung NP-N102-JA01DX netbook weighing only 1.03 kg, is anything but heavy. In addition to that, it can also be considered thin as well with its maximum thickness of only 34.7mm. It isn’t as thin as the MacBook Air but it sure gives portability to the user nonetheless.  The screen is 10.1″ and uses Samsung’s SuperBright technology.  This size may not be satisfying for some but those that don’t use laptops too often may find it sufficient for handling normal tasks.

DELL-Inspiron-Q15R-Core-i3

Dell is one of the top three PC manufacturers in the world and for good reasons as well. Their devices are well-built and the services offered by Dell are exceptional especially with its on-site support. The Inspiron laptop series has been around for decades now and is used by millions around the world. That is why the Dell Inspiron Q15R Switch is a good choice if you are looking for a 15.6” laptop for less than £500.

The Q15R Switch by Dell has a metal chrome finish which makes it look classy at best. The 15.6-inch screen uses the WLED HD technology: it is backed by LED which also means that it consumes less power as compared with the traditional LCD screens. In addition to that, it is also rather thick with its maximum thickness of 35.3mm. Weight on the other hand stands at a backbreaking 2.65kgs which can be considered the norm amongst 15.6-inch laptops. Portability is lost here though due to both the bulkiness and the weight. Enough with the outside and more to the inside. Read more

Current Trends in Laptop Personalization

cb-mt04c_1

Most of us own laptops, and it is normal to build up some sort of attachment to your machine, particularly if you’ve had it for a while. Unlike the stiff business look that is found in busy city centers, laptop owners are becoming increasingly adept at showcasing and modifying their tools. When it comes to personalizing your laptop, it seems that you are left with only two options – skins and bags.

A skin is a decal that is placed on the laptop itself, and this field offers the most artistic techniques. Laptop bags have undergone a similar metamorphosis, and some completely indulgent bags are now available to match your wardrobe. Whether you enjoy simple pen designs or stickers on your laptop, or you opt for a more complex design, you are sure to find something that will help you and your laptop standout from the crowd.

iPad/Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Review: A must-have accessory for your iPad

apple-wireless-keyboard-side-view

Tablet computers can replace a lot of what we do on computers, but one area where they can’t adequately replace is probably with writing long letters, essays, writing forum posts, etc., where a physical keyboard would be much more comfortable to use and much quicker at the same time.

Any Bluetooth-based keyboard will work, but Apple also sells their own Bluetooth-based keyboard and one specifically for the iPad that comes included with an iPad dock. Just to let you know, if you ever do buy the ‘iPad dock’ on its own, make sure you get the iPad dock made for the iPad 2. I made the mistake of buying the iPad dock made for the original iPad; while it works fine, it can easily be tipped over if you tap the screen too hard, which I would presume doesn’t occur with the iPad 2 dock considering there is a slight alteration in the way it looks compared to the original iPad.

Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad – A Response to Misery Caused By Overheated Laptops

Lifestyle_F5L001

Laptops are not designed to work continuously for long hours and therefore tend to heat up rather quickly which forces the user to shut it down for a while. The most prominent boon that the PC has over notebooks is that it can be used for long hours, thanks to the cooling system present inside the CPU cabinet.

Belkin gives us the Laptop Cooling Stand which is specially designed to reduce the heat emitted from the laptop. It uses a USB powered fan in the middle of the surface which is made of plastic. The stand is propped up at an angle with the help of two grey bumpers present at either side. The lower arched center dissipates the heat from the laptop and sends it out in all directions.  This also ensures that there is minimal wrist discomfort while working and also it gives better viewing angles to the laptop.
