The emergence of ‘post-PC’. So what about laptop computers?

Of late, many high-profile companies are spinning around this “post-PC” term influenced by the introduction and popularity of tablet computers or other similar form factors that was popularised by Apple’s iPad tablet computer.

Of course, most of us still primarily use real computers such as laptops, desktops or netbooks (which can still do far more than most tablet computers can do that do not run Windows), but with introducing Windows 8 at BUILD, Microsoft is obviously very serious about the market Apple and Google are enjoying right now – and that is the tablet/touchscreen form factor market.

Asus Eee PC 1015PX Seashell – Premium Design with a Top Processor

Asus Eee PC 1015PX Seashell – Premium Design with a Top Processor

The netbook Asus Eee PC 1015PX caught my attention by the fact that it is a rarity to come across a netbook with matte screen. I know some people are attracted to shiny things, but it is good to know that in this case, the matte screen offers superior viewing comfort for the glossy ones, precisely because they do not reflect light like a mirror. Another aspect I like about Eee PC 1015PX is the Intel Atom N570. It is one of the best processors dedicated to this type of portable computer that has two physical cores and operates at a frequency of 1.67 GHz (it is currently the best Intel Atom processor).

Laptops can be god sent in various situations like presentations but what if you don’t have access to a projector? Engineers and designers at Lenovo have asked themselves this question, along with some others and came up with a very exciting solution: a portable USB monitor that acts like a secondary screen for your laptop or netbook.

Lenovo announced a lot of neat things at the start of this Autumn but nothing makes me more excited than the prospect of purchasing a portable monitor for my netbook. Of course, the tiniest versions of laptops are great for emailing and other basic online activities but if you’re a serious online user or maybe you run an online business, you will always find yourself needing extra pixels.

Intel Windows 8 Ultrabooks With Core Series Processors To Compete With Air And iPad

Intel Windows 8 Ultrabooks With Core Series Processors To Compete With Air And iPad

Intel Windows 8 Ultrabooks seem to be poised to take over the market and come in direct competition with the MacBook Air and the iPad tablet from Apple. Intel owns the Ultrabook brand and the chipmaker will impose strict restrictions on any manufacturer who wishes to use the Ultrabook moniker in the name. These will be ultra fast, light and eminently portable devices that will be running on Microsoft’s recently previewed Windows 8 operating system.

We do not have any specific news on their release date but that is probably because Microsoft themselves have not yet decided on a release date. At least publicly Redmond has had nothing concrete to offer on the issue. However, we do has information on some of the hardware specifications that the manufacturers will have to follow in order to maintain the signature features of the Ultrabook like. Read more →

Should You Be Using a Laptop Cushion

Should You Be Using a Laptop Cushion

Laptops are popular because they are compact and easy to carry around. We always want our laptops to be lighter, slimmer, and easy to carry with us to the office, airport, and even on vacation. But building thorough and sufficient cooling system for laptops is a major design problem. There are air vents on laptops but the materials on which we place our laptop on, like clothing materials for example, often block those vents therefore your computer overheats and that is not good.

The cooling systems in place for heat emission in laptops are not enough. Laptops relied on both forced ventilation and conventional forces – the laptop fan does some work and natural air from outside goes into a laptop from one part of the vent and out the other, too. The air vents on laptops are tinier compared with the huge spaces you find on computer towers. Although computer desktops use larger fans, there are different designs of laptop cushion products to suit your laptop. Read more →

New Laptop Batteries Made of Gel Could Provide Low Cost Safe Power

New Laptop Batteries Made of Gel Could Provide Low Cost Safe Power

Is your laptop a bit on the heavy side? If so, you can put the blame on your battery. However, those heavy, bulky laptop batteries may not be around forever. A physics researcher Ian Ward at the University of Leeds has made a new polymer gel which can be used to design a new type of lithium battery that would cost less, be lighter in weight and more energy efficient.

The new polymer gel or jelly is made up of about 70% liquid electrolyte. This gel can be formed into a thin, flexible film through an inexpensive manufacturing process. The gel would take the place of the volatile liquid electrolyte which is currently in use to transfer ions between the electrodes. This equates to the battery not needing a permeable separator to keep the two sections of electrolyte from mixing or for the need of a rigid receptacle which prevents liquid from seeping out.
