General Windows Explorer Changes
Automatically Expand Current Folders:
Make the side-launch (quick-launch, Explorer Tree pane) behave more naturally.
1. In Windows Explorer, click top-menu-bar button "Organize"
2. Choose "Folder and Search Options"
3. Choose the "General" tab
4. In "Navigation pane", check "Automatically expand the current folder"
Expose the RUN Command:
The Run command is a handy way to launch programs ASUS U20 battery like Notepad, mspaint, and other obscure programs, where you know the name, but not the icon. Often, clicking Start, Run, and typing "notepad" is faster than finding the icon. By default, the Run command is not visible on the Start Menu; here is how to expose it.

Click image for larger view; click "right-x" to return

1. "Other-mouse-click" the Start-button, choose "Properties"
2. Click the "Start Menu" tab
3. Click button "Customize"
4. Check "Run Command"
At the same time, consider making this cosmetic change:
5. Uncheck "Use large Icons"

Restore Windows Explorer's missing File, Edit, View menus:
By default, the File, Edit, View menu is hidden in Windows Explorer. Expose the menu with these steps.

1. Open Windows Explorer; click on top menu-bar button "Organize".
2. Choose Layout, "Menubar"
Show Hidden Files and Extensions:
Once again, Microsoft has hidden file-extensions, such as .vbs, .exe, .xlms, etc, from view. This continually unnerves me with every version of Windows. When opening a folder with Setup.exe, Setup.log, and Setup.ini, you can't tell which file is which without the extensions.
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Select top-menu-bar button, Organize, "Folder and Search Options"
3. Click the "View" tab
4. Make these changes where [ ] means uncheck and [x] means check:
* [x] "Always show menus"
* [x] "Show hidden files, folders and drives"
* [ ] "Hide empty drives"
* [ ] "Hide extensions for known file types"
* [ ] "Hide protected operating system files"
* [x] "Show drive letters"
5. Click "Apply"; then click "Apply to folders"
Show Drive Letters First:
By default, Windows 7 (Vista and XP) show the drive letter after the name and path. Especially, in a corporate environment, the drive letter is often truncated when ASUS U50 battery the column is too narrow. Move it to the front of the description with this registry hack. This assumes you are familiar with the Windows Registry.
To Manually make the change, follow these steps, or copy and run the registry merge file directly below.
1. Start, Run, Regedit.exe
2. Tunnel to
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
(selecting the Explorer folder)
3. In the detail side, create a new DWord value (other-mouse-click in a blank area, choose "New", Dword)
4. Name: "ShowDriveLettersFirst"; note the plural 's'. Press Enter to save.
5. Double-click the newly-typed value. Dword Value: Decimal 4
6. Close Regedit and reboot at your leisure for the changes to take effect.
(Note: As usual, IE does not display this code properly, but other browsers do)

Show Drive Letters First

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Open Explorer in a Default Folder
Follow these steps to build a Windows Explorer icon that opens at a specific folder. For example, I always want Explorer to open at my "C:\Data" folder. You can make multiple icons, each to a different folder.
1. On the Desktop, Other-mouse-click, "New, Shortcut"
2. In the Location, type
Explorer.exe /e,"C:\data"
( or Explorer.exe /e,"C:\Users\[your userid]" if you use "My Documents")
3. For the descriptive Name, type "Explorer"; allow the new Shortcut to build.
The icon is usable now. Consider the following steps that pin it to the Start Menu and the taskbar:
4. Highlight the original, default Windows Explorer icon on the task bar and "Unpin"
5. Other-mouse-click the new Explorer desktop icon, choose "Pin to Start Menu".
6. Other-mouse-click the new Explorer icon, choose "Pin to TaskBar"
7. Delete the newly-built desktop icon.
To test: Click the new Explorer icon; note it opens, pointing to the data folder
Unspecified Column Headings
Get Rid of the "Unspecified" column heading in Explorer's default Detail View.  This instruction assumes you have exposed Explorer's missing "File/Edit" menus (see above):
1.  In any Explorer detail-pane, "other-mouse-click" in a blank area.
2.  Choose "Group by", "None".  (Note: This changes only for the ASUS U80 battery current folder; see remaining steps to make this setting "stick" to all folders, as a default.)

3.  While in the same detail pane, choose Explorer's top menu, "Tools", Folder Options.  Click the View tab.
4.  Click "Apply to Folders"  (This is the same menu used earlier to expose hidden files and extensions).
Disable the Keyboard "Windows Key"
If you find the keyboard's Windows Key annoying, because you accidentally press it, you can disable the key by merging this registry file. Of course, some people like this key.
0. From above, be sure to "Show Hidden Files and Extensions"
1. Copy the text below, paste into Notepad
2. Save Notepad file as "DisableWindowsKey.Reg"
3. Using Windows Explorer, locate the Reg file. Other-mouse-click and choose "Merge"
(Note: as usual, IE does not display this code properly, but other browsers do.  Reboot at your leisure before this key takes effect.)

Smaller icons on the task bar:
Showing smaller icons in the task bar allows for more programs to be displayed and gives a bit more space for editing.

1. Right-Click on the Start Menu (Orb), choose "Properties"
2. Click the [TaskBar] tab
3. Select "Use Small Icons"
Fixing Icon Prompts:
If you are like me, you are always fiddling with Start Menu and Desktop icons. Although Windows 7 vastly improved UAC (security) nags, Windows 7 still bugs people too much when editing icons. Why UAC is so concerned about a mere Start-Menu icon is beyond me, but with a minor security ASUS U81 battery change, you can disable UAC in these areas while leaving the rest intact. Follow these steps:
1. Confirm you have exposed Hidden and System Folders for Windows Explorer (see steps near top of this article)
2. Open Windows Explorer
3. Tunnel to this folder:
C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop
3. "Other-Mouse-Click" the folder, choose Properties.
Click the [Security] Tab
Click button "Edit"
Select your user-account from the list
Click "Full-Control"
Click OK, OK
4. Repeat steps for this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu
You can now edit icons without being pestered.
Click image for a larger view; click back-arrow to return

Turn off Hibernation
While this is not strictly a Windows Explorer change, most people can free-up 3 to 6 gig of hard disk space by disabling the Hibernation feature. Hibernation is where a computer can be shut-down, with all programs running and when it re-starts, everything is exactly as you left it. The ASUS NX90 battery feature is really only useful for laptops - but most people never use the feature.
To disable the feature:
1. From the Start Menu, click "All Programs"
2. Locate, but do not launch "Command Prompt"
3. "Other-mouse-click" the Command Prompt icon, choose "Run as Administrator"
4. Type this command:
powercfg.exe -h off
press Enter. No response will be seen on the screen.
Type "exit" (no quotes), to close the DOS prompt
5. At your leisure, reboot the computer to complete the task. The file Hiberfil.sys will be deleted.
If you have a desktop computer (or a laptop computer where you never use Hibernation), you can free-up about 3 to 6Gig of hard disk space
Start Navigation Click
In Windows Explorer, you may have noticed a "click" or "ticking" sound each time a folder is opened or touched.  This is an annoying sound in the Sound theme.  To remove:
1.  Open the Control Panel, Sounds
2.  Click the [Sounds] tab
3.  In the tree, scroll down, locating "Start Navigation"
4.  Set sound to "None".  Click OK to save.

Turn off Selected Eye-Candy
I like the Aero interface as much as the next person, but there are a few items that are too slow.  Turning off this eye-candy will make the computer appear much faster.  With this ASUS NX90JQ battery change, menus and scroll boxes will be sprightly.
1.  Launch Windows Explorer
2.  Other-mouse-click "Computer" (not the C: drive); select "Properties"
3.  On left-nav, click "Advanced System Settings"
4.  Under the [Advanced] tab, click the Performance "Settings" button

5.  Uncheck these options:
[  ] Fade or slide menus into view
[  ] Fade out menu items after closing
[  ] Slide open combo boxes
[  ] Smooth-scroll list boxes
Other items in the Areo interface are too pretty to disable, but these will make the computer seem much faster.
SendTo Menu
Often I want to peek inside of files and I often need to view them in Notepad. To add Notepad.exe to the "SendTo" menu, do the following:
1. Start, Run:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

2. Once the folder opens, "other-mouse-click" in a blank area in the icon list and create a new shortcut.
3. For Location, type "Notepad.exe".  Click OK
4. For the name, type "Notepad"
To test the new shortcut, locate an ASCII text document on your C: drive (e.g. a ReadMe.txt file somewhere); other-mouse-click, select "SendTo", Notepad. This saves you the trouble of selecting "Open With."

Review of Dell Vostro V131 Notebook

Dell Vostro V131 comes with 2nd Generation core i5 Processors and boasts a capable of delivering up to 9.5 hours of continuous work.

The Vostro V131 almost looks exactly like its predecessor. The concept of enclosing metal components still makes for a high recognition value. But the Vostro V131 can’t only score with its looks and feel, the stability also benefits from the surrounding metal parts. Both the display lid and the base unit’s bottom cope well with selective pressure. Possible warping is kept within HP Compaq Business Notebook NC6400 battery limits on both parts. However, the Vostro has to admit clear defeat, for example, in face of the Apple MacBook Air 13 that was also in our office at the time of the review - and that although the Air is only half as thick as the Vostro.

The Vostro V131 is ideal for everyday office operations like document editing, presentations and e-mail, and also provides impressive collaboration options thanks to a full HD camera, digital array mics and support for Intel’s WiDi. USB 3.0 support will also come in useful for digital content producers as it supports transfer rates 10 times the speed of USB 2.0, and the backlight chiclet keyboard and quick launch keys are noteworthy usability enhancements. We’d also like to commend Dell for HP Compaq Business Notebook 6710s battery the large touchpad and soft-touch mouse buttons¯the latter of which are silent when pressed. It won’t win any design awards, nor is it as rugged as a Dell Latitude, but the Vostro V131 is a feature-rich laptop for small-business
users wanting high performance without sacrificing portability and data security.
In term of it’s connectivity, the 13.3 inches of Vostro V131 equipped with the most recent specs, for instance having a 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth v3.0 + High Speed, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, a hybrid USB 2.0/eSATA connector and of course a HDMI port, so you can easily connect this machine with the much bigger monitor. Dell V131 business notebook also comes by an optional of 3G or 4G connectivity of mobile broadband and support Intel WiDi for stream your content with the other Intel WiDi-enabled machine.
The V131′s framework is usually as intemperate as which of a Dell Latitude laptop. Its Aberdeen Silver enclosing is done of magnesium—a clever steel that’s additionally Toshiba Satellite A130 battery used in enterprise-class laptops similar to a Dell Latitude E6420 ($1,788 direct, 4 stars) as good as Lenovo ThinkPad X220. Press a palm of your palm upon tip of a lid, as good as you’ll find which a V131 hold firmer than a aluminum-based HP Probook 5330m ($899.99 direct, 3.5 stars). At thirteen by 9.1 by 0.8 inches (HWD), it’s about as skinny as a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 ($1,499 direct, 3.5 stars) as good as HP 5330m—all of which, similar to a V131, miss an visual drive. The large 65WH gives a V131 a slight lift from a back, nonetheless not as high of a slant as a Dell 3350′s 8-cell battery. Its four-pound support falls in in between a Lenovo X1 (3.7 pounds) as good as Dell 3350 (4.8 pounds).
The V131’s $800 price for our test configuration looks even better when you consider that the V131 runs the professional version of Windows 7. Microsoft Office 2010 Starter is on hand, and as is the norm with Vostro machines, you’ll find a relatively junk-free software array–just a few useful utilities and Trend Micro’s Security Agent trial. The Dell webcam application is one of the better examples you’ll see, and digitalPersona is included to take care of the software end of the biometrics.
While the Dell Vostro V131 is not going to be a gaming powerhouse at any time (Facebook and other casual games are fine), that is because this is an office-centric laptop Toshiba Satellite A135 battery, where it is suited for everyday office operations such as document editing, presentations and email. Of course, you will also have the advantage of a built-in full HD camera for video conferencing purposes, SRS Premium Voice Pro, digital array mics and built-in Skype. With a couple of USB 3.0 ports, this is one future-forward machine – and the chiclet keyboard with a backlit option certainly suits those who love working late into the night.
Not enough, the Dell V131 also offers software services and solutions that enhance productivity and data security To protect your data or notebook, the Dell V131 feature an optional Absolute LoJack for tracking stolen machines at the show, fingerprint reader, a free fall sensor. for HDD, Backup and Recovery Manager software and Dell DataSafe Online automated data storage back-ups of up to 2GB.
The Dell V131 notebook also powered with 4-cell Lithium Ion battery provide up to 9.5hrs of battery life and can be upgraded to 6 cell Lithium Ion, the new Dell Vostro series perfect for your daily activity in your office or home. “We designed the Vostro V131 to deliver fast, uninterrupted multitasking for Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 battery today’s business challenges,” said Sam Burd, vice president of Dell’s Consumer & SMB Product Group.
V130 was not a model, which has a contrast ratio up to 144:1. The V131 is not much better: 165:1 to black value of 1.12 cd/m2. These figures are also likely to be responsible for our only moderate overall subjective impression of the color reproduction. This is just a small problem with office tasks, but the media is suffering from a case.
Pros
Powerful standard-voltage Core i5 CPU. Excellent battery life. Excellent keyboard. Two USB 3.0 ports. Fast spinning hard drive.
Cons
Subpar gaming scores from integrated graphics. No backlit keyboard.
Bottom Line
Thanks to an Intel Core i5 processor and 8-hour battery, the Dell Vostro V131 small-business laptop has most of the features, power, and battery life of its enterprise-oriented counterparts, yet it won’t cost you nearly as much.
The Dell Vostro V series has been that way for us for well over a year now. The last model we reviewed, the slim Vostro V130, looked like it might be the perfect Sony VAIO VGN-G3 battery slim 13-inch laptop, hiding in the form of a small business computer…except that had a battery life that was far too short, and a low-voltage processor that wasn’t fast, either. It was well-designed, however, solidly built, and surprisingly affordable.
Dell Vostro V131 storage use 500 GB hard drive (there is option to has bigger storage). Other features you may get in Dell Vostro 3350 are: two USB 3.0 ports which supports transfer rates 10 times the speed of USB 2.0, HDMI port, multimedia card slot, VGA, and Webcam. Networking connection suplied are Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth, and optional 3G Mobile Broadband (with GSM or CDMA technologies).
Dell Vostro V131 is available free in some websites. For those of you who want to get this one notebook, you have to spend quite a lot. Because Dell Vostro V131 price with specifications as low as $ 499.

Acer Aspire One D255 Notebook Review

The new netbook comes in a significantly modified chassis. With the barebones of the (N455) design, but the form factor and keyboard FineTip has nothing in common. It’s more like a family with the Aspire One 521 (AMD K125).
While the younger brother Intel Atom N450 is now available for around € 300 on Amazon, you have to wait for the Acer Aspire One D255 (N550) until mid November 2010 and pay 50 € more. This investment is worthwhile, but not always, as a Acer Aspire 1410T battery performance boost of about 50 percent are there as always. The other option involves then only one of four colors: black diamond, ruby ​​red, brown and sandstone Seemuschelweiß. Has been reduced in the new edition of the, the power supply, now called MiniGo with 180 grams lighter than 30 percent of conventional energy supplies.
The of 48 watts, allowing the user depending on applications up to eight hours has not decreased – as the manufacturer. However, you can expect from an effective use of about 5 hours with certainty that the majority of users is enough. Technically there is nothing new, except the processor mentioned in the quiet market surprise netbook can be: 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, 250 GB hard drive, Intel GMA 3150 graphics as a unit, network connections usual, except the 3G option. An Acer Aspire 1810T battery operating system Windows 7 potters and provides basic work in the 10-inch screen with 1024 x 600 pixels.
Equipment
The D255 offers the simplicity of the usual netbook with diet. The visible connections has three USB 2.0 ports, a card reader (SD / MMC), the VGAConnector (D-Sub), RJ45 LAN connector and two sockets for headphones and microphone. A useful detail is the metal and amplified audio ports that also used in. Therefore, they are relatively well protected by the collapse.
The discreet webcam frame can display the photos in 1280 x 1024 pixels, absorb (4:3, 1.3 MP). This is the relatively high resolution. Sony or Samsung Netbook Acer Aspire One 521 battery usually offer only a VGAResolution (640 x 480). Can this video camera record VGAQuality same.

HP Pavilion DV4 Notebook Review

HP Pavilion dv4 is powered by Intel Turion II mobile processor M500 / 2.2 GHz, a dual core processor, data bus speed is 3600 MHz, it has 1 MB of L2 cache, has 4 GB DDR2 SD RAM expandable to 8 GB. It has 320 GB hard drive at 7200 rpm, optical drive is DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM with DELL Latitude E5400 battery, LightScribe Technology. The 5 in 1 card reader Memory Stick Pro, xD-Picture Card, SD Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick.
Features:

• Genuine Windows 7 home basic operating system
• Intel core i5-2410M processor
• Intel HM65 graphics chipset
• 4 GB DDR3 RAM memory
• 500 GB SATA hard disk drive
• AMD radeon-6750M high-definition graphics card
• 14.0-inches high-definition LED bright view display
• Super-multi DVD-RW with dual coating support
• HP true vision high-definition webcam
• Bluetooth and wireless LAN connectivity
• Gigabit Ethernet LAN – RJ45 Port
• Altec Lancing speakers & Dolby audio
• Kensington micro-saver lock slot

Hewlett-Packard’s latest laptop for the back-to-school set is basically a beefed-up but lower-priced ($750, as of August 10, 2009) version of its earlier Pavilion dv3: You get a 14-inch display (up from 13.3 inches on the dv3), more life (thanks to a huge 12-cell battery); and a lot more horsepower DELL Latitude E5500 battery. You also get an understated plaid case pattern that lightens the case’s otherwise serious demeanor.
Even though the HP Pavilion dv4 is a relatively inexpensive machine, none of your friends or coworkers ever need know it. The sleek exterior of the HP Pavilion dv4 1120us looks as if it were carved from reflective volcanic glass. As long as you keep it clean, the shiny chassis radiates professionalism. If you so much as brush the glossy lid with a fingertip, expect smudges that won’t come off without deliberate cleaning.
The design of the HP dv4 has the same heavily chromed accents just like the dv5 and new HDX models. I think that HP went slightly overboard with the use of shiny surfaces and in some instances you end up being blinded by a number of things. When using the outside on a sunny day, the touchpad, speaker grills, media access keys, or even the palmrest trim could blind you if the sun hits it just right. Another high gloss surface that luckily this model did not include is the Infinity glass panel over the already glossy display. The DELL Vostro 1220n battery few models we have had in our offices with that setup make viewing the screen a challenge in all but perfect lighting conditions with the amount of reflections.
It offers dual-core productivity from its 2.1 GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-72 processor. HP’s ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection locks your 250 GB hard drive into place when it senses abrupt motion to help prevent data loss. The built-in eSATA/USB combo port enables fast backup to an external hard drive. Other features include 4 GB of installed RAM (8 GB maximum), ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics with up to 1918 MB of available memory, dual-layer Lightscribe DVD±RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard 54 slot, quad-mode Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n), and 5-in-1 memory card reader.
With its sleek white and silver finish and generous selection of multimedia features, you’d never peg the HP dv4 ($749.99 list) as a budget notebook. This attractive 14-inch notebook offers copious amounts of memory and storage, HDMI and eSATA connectivity, and HP’s ProtectSmart hard-drive technology. It even comes with a handy little media-player remote. Its performance is right in line with other DELL Vostro 1220 battery in this price range, too. A higher-resolution screen and discrete graphics would have been nice, but at this price it’s hard to complain. The HP Pavilion dv4 is a striking 14-inch notebook with an equally attractive price. You get a nice selection of multimedia features with this model, as well as solid productivity and multimedia performance.
A glossy black bezel surrounds the 14.1-inch display, which has a relatively low 1,280 by 800 resolution (1,440 by 900 would have been better.) Resolution aside, it is a nice screen. Thanks to HP’s shiny BrightView coating, the display is bright, delivers bold colors, and offers good viewing angles. Unfortunately, you’ll have to deal with the panel’s reflective properties when working under Acer Aspire 2920 battery bright lights. A webcam and microphone built into the screen’s upper bezel can be used for quick and easy video chats and for taking still photos using the included MediaSmart Webcam utility.
The Intel Core i5-2410M (2.3GHz) is a powerful processor for an ultraportable.  You’re not getting a low-power CPU here, but something you normally find in full size notebooks or desktops.  A mid-range Intel CPU, the Core i5 is designed to handle most computing tasks easily. The 4GB of RAM is also a good amount for an ultraportable, and contributes to good system performance.
As expected for this price segment, the HP dv4 has an LED-lit display that’s adequate for a single user–its reflective nature and limited viewing angles practically guarantee this. For a 14-inch notebook, the 1,366 x 768 display resolution on the dv4 is typical and not likely to earn Acer TravelMate 6292 battery any brownie points. Our review unit came with the optional Blu-ray combo drive for viewing HD content and CyberLink’s PowerDVD 10 for Blu-ray and DVD playback. Altec Lansing speakers provide an adequate audio experience, though they sounded strained at higher volumes.
A touch-sensitive strip at the top of the keyboard controls the volume and has icons for muting audio and turning on and off the Wi-Fi radio. However, there are no other dedicated media controls. The function keys are labeled for play/pause, stop, forward, and rewind, and HP includes a small remote control that can be stowed in the laptop’s ExpressCard slot. The keyboard Acer TravelMate 6593 battery is reasonably comfortable for a laptop this size, though the keys feel a bit mushy. Its keys are glossy plastic, too, so you’ll probably want to give them a quick wipe down when you’re cleaning fingerprints off the rest of the laptop. The system’s touch pad is short and wide, which is only upsetting if you’re used to using a larger. However, the touch pad’s chrome finish is more of an issue as it collects fingerprints and doesn’t let fingers glide smoothly. A small button above the touch pad lets you quickly shut it off the pad if you’re not using it.
Adrenaline for the eyes. Get used to visual euphoria with the HP Pavilion dv4. It starts on the outside with the Espresso Black with Lattice pattern. HP Pavilion dv4 as great looks, delivers according to your expectations. However, the life is too low. If you don’t care about the low battery life or don’t travel much we would definitely ask you to go for this notebook.

How to prevent your laptop from damage

Repair notebooks and tablet PC is very expensive. Most warranties or extended service plans do not cover accidental damage caused by the user. If the PC shows evidence or signs of such damage, most warranties or extended service plans will not accept claims, including claims for problems unrelated components. An HP notebook is designed for use in an office environment and can withstand the demands that are in that environment.

The casing, screen and other hardware components are not designed for field or the playground. As such, it is not a toy and should be treated that way. Follow some simple best practices for handling a notebook avoid paying costly maintenance in the future. This document details some of these best practices and also provides a guide to protect your data and personal information. The main causes of damage to the notebooks are heat, moisture, dirt, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and magnetism. Here are some ideas to protect the notebook of such damages:
Heat: heat, both from an external source, such as leaving DELL Inspiron 15 battery the inside a car with high temperature or an internal source, such as the power supply itself from the notebook, get out of the sensitive components plate system and CPU on your computer. Block the ventilation holes allows fans of the notebook cool these components, which could melt or be damaged in some way.

Humidity: liquids that fall between the keys of a notebook are dangerous because the major components of it (hard drive, system board and processor) are located underneath the keyboard and are not contained within a waterproof container .
Dirty: Filth dust can block the opening of the fan, which makes the fans do not effectively cool the sensitive components of DELL Inspiron 1750 battery the system board and CPU of the computer. Also, playground materials, such as dust, dirt and sand can seep into the cracks of the notebook casing and damage the components. Never use a notebook in a playground.

Electrostatic charge (ESD) and magnetism: magnets can erase the electronic information from hard drives and disks. Electrostatic discharge may cause permanent damage to memory chips and CPUs. Do not expose a notebook to magnetism, whether a child’s toy or a computer HP Pavilion dv6400 battery scientist. Never touch the exposed components of a notebook if you are working in an environment grounded antistatic.

Dell Precision M2400 Notebook Evaluation

Launched a new W series mobile workstation to add a new war in the Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell wild outdone appropriate for the time being, temporary successors to take advantage of the 14-inch ThinkPad mobile workstation, launched the Precision M2400 The biggest bright spot is using the T9600 processor and NV, on behalf of the notebook CPU performance executive Britain professional graphics Quadro FX 370M, the culmination of a variety of business books in a Dell Precision M2400 is certainly a lot of fabulous. Of course, a lot of money DELL Latitude E6400 battery on the price, we can only look at the evaluation of their foreign counterparts to "fancies".
The Dell Precision M2400 is equivalent to the twin brother of the Latitude E6400. They have a similar shape of the fuselage. These two series the only difference is that the former is equipped with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 370M graphics card and the roof of corrugated metal design. M2400 located in a mobile workstation, video editing, animation editing and CAD operations, customer service and reinforced magnesium DELL Latitude E6410 battery alloy chassis and impressive profound security system make this a special notebook is not only the perfect partner to become a mobile office, and we dream of a robust and reliable books.

The structure and design of the Dell Precision M2400

In just the preface, I have already mentioned, the M2400 is equipped with a effective way to reduce the bending and improve the durability of a magnesium alloy chassis. Latitude E6400 series, the hinge is very sturdy, strong and solid quality. Durable and non-glossy plastic top cover DELL Latitude E6510 battery M2400 unlike other glossy laptop is as easy as fingerprints. With stylish metal case, the M2400 stand out in the business machine.
The choice of interface is really nice, and very convenient to the majority of notebook users. In addition there are optional docking station, respectively, as the market price of $ 129 port replicator and $ 199 Enhanced Port Replicator for those who require additional USB ports and dual display output support user options.
My mind the main place in the machine design, it lacks the additional protection of the hard disk cartridge. I know from the bottom plate to open the hard drive only need to unscrew the DELL Latitude E8400 battery two screws gently pushed, I felt a little confused. Although the hard disk is securely fixed in there, but still a little bit of swing space. I even called some of the physical protection, so when used in normal operation, my hand would not shake the position of the hard disk.

The display of the Dell Precision M2400

Configuration of the LG-by Philips LPL0140 (aka the LP141WP2) LED display, it offers admirable luminance, average contrast and the typical viewing angle.
In addition to the average contrast ratio of 500:1 set out in the specification table, the performance of this display was relatively backward, especially when the brightness set to maximum. Vertical angle of the performance of the average horizontal angle is better.
Does not appear grainy, all articles and images can be high and clearly showing. Although the display is not perfect, but it is for the most mobile CAD users is absolutely sufficient.
In the roof constructed, the display is not the slightest shake or distortion. Exert pressure on its back and did not cause any color distortion. Similar to the Lenovo T-series notebooks, the M2400 is strong enough hand to seize the LCD screen to lift the entire laptop. Contrast with the Latitude E6400 and M2400's display is more solid. In addition, the LCD screen around the edge of the runout deal with vulnerable people get scared DELL Precision M4500 battery because we do not need to use too much strength to be able to gently pry the edge of the screen panel. This did not affect the overall build quality of the screen because most users will not be playing with your fingers or sharp objects they display edges.
Light sensor is normal to the surrounding ambient light sensor. Unlike Asus notebook I used in the past, these sensors show the effect of adjustment very in line with my request. Those who are not accustomed to the automatic brightness adjustment, users can also choose to block this light sensor.
Configuration LG-Philips panel at the same time, the Dell M2400 Samsung's LCD panel as an optional accessory for the user to select. Samsung panel (SEC5442) is slightly outdated, but still provides excellent brightness and viewing angle. The difference between these two panels DELL Precision M6400 battery is negligible, but only in a careful comparison of them will be found different.

Dell Precision M2400's keyboard and touchpad

As a Night Cat, I think the best is the backlit keyboard. Unfortunately many notebook also does not provide this functionality. There is no doubt that the notebook keyboard feel is very satisfactory. In addition to the lovely backlight, the M2400 also provides a full-size keyboard, good feedback and a comfortable feel. The upper right corner of the keyboard subsidence, but in everyday use will not be noticed because of the specific region in general is to put pressure on the little finger to tap the keyboard refers to is much smaller than DELL Precision M6500 battery the other four arms. I am glad to see that there are more specialized for multimedia control and shortcut keys, and business machine is usually the lack of such a configuration.

Dell Precision M2400 speaker

Latitude E6400, M2400 built-in integrated IDT high definition stereo player, sound, the volume is the level of the mainstream, but the sound quality is poor. Anticipated dual-channel built-in speaker system lacks bass audio output, and that triple bass makes it easy for audiophiles disgusted. The speaker where the panel has a number of holes, but mostly only play a decorative role, and the speaker DELL Inspiron 1410 battery is very small, 12 mm circular speakers were included in the two central bottom of the panel. If asked for a better playback quality, then a pair of headphones or external speakers will help to overcome these limitations and meet the needs of most people on the sound quality.
The touchpad area is quite small, inconvenient to use. (Even a 12.1-inch ASUS U6 notebook touchpad than large) usually require multiple fingers move to complete the purpose of, and sometimes really a bit impatient. However, the M2400 device between the keyboard G keys, H and B keys pointing stick (similar to Lenovo ThinkPad Little Red Riding Hood), which makes the cursor move easier and more convenient. The touchpad buttons are relatively soft, the DELL Precision M4400 battery reaction is slower than my previous notebook; I need to spend a little time to adapt slowly.

The whole performance of the Dell Precision M2400

The configuration of the 2.80GHz T9600 Intel processor, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 370M chip and 4GB of memory, the M2400 can easily run a variety of procedures, and provide high enough performance for most users. Perhaps the graphics GDDR2 memory and bandwidth of video memory 64 will become a bottleneck restricting the performance of the whole, but still can easily run the non-big game and a simple DELL Vostro 1014 battery CAD applications. The following detailed specifications of the CPU / GPU can more clearly the quantitative analysis of the performance of the M2400.

Battery Life

Basic Internet browsing, continuous network traffic and word processing, start a backlit keyboard and the screen brightness to minimum, 85WHr 9-cell battery is sufficient to maintain this state for 310 minutes. Although this is lower than that claimed the performance of Dell's advertising, but the above data can explain so special hardware is equipped with notebook. If coupled with a 84WHr battery of expansion, I estimate that in the state of the same work, the battery life can be extended to 600 minutes.

Heat and noise of the Dell Precision M2400

The M2400's cooling system is a contentious issue. When the CPU can effectively maintain a certain temperature level, while the GPU can not be compared. Unlike the CPU, GPU and motherboard chipset is a thermal pad (Thermal pad in the form of a pad in the PCB layout, the so-called "cross bridge" or "the word bridge"), rather than copper to the heat transfer to heat pipe. Copper because of a thermal pad DELL Vostro A860 battery is not so efficient heat transfer, such as 3DMark06 run high graphics load the software, the Quadro FX 370M graphics card temperature soared to 95 ° C. On the contrary, the day-to-day applications will be kept cold. CPU and GPU temperature stable at 31 ° C and 48 ° C. If used with an external monitor to expand the base, will increase the idle temperature around the CPU and GPU at 10-15 ° C.
Surface temperature control is ideal, so it can be very comfortable on the DELL Precision M2400 battery use. Basic word processing and Web browsing, the temperature will remain in the three-digit (in this case degrees Fahrenheit) below.
If the fan noise can be sometimes people feel a little uneasy; conscious of, especially when running in the background necessary to Vista, the multimedia expansion slot M2400 plug procedures and anti-virus software. But which does not extend the daily application, the fan noise is not easy to find, and keep the fan running at low speed.

The security settings of the Dell Precision M2400

As business models, the M2400's security module designed for the needs of most business people. If you do not like to enter a password to get into your system, the M2400 also offers fingerprint reader, smart card reader and remote smart card reader option. All of these security modules in the HP ProBook 5330m battery the ControlPoint Security Manager software (pre-installed, the drive plate can be). Of course, part of the enterprise security standards, TPM (Trusted Platform Module) security module.

Summary

The Precision M2400 is the perfect choice for business professionals and CAD users. This is a with a hint of fashionable superior notebook to provide excellent handling ability. The robust design business this has always been the pursuit, while the M2400 has achieved this standard. Although there are Sony VGP-BPS12 battery still a few minor shortcomings, the M2400 is the perfect books, even if the day-to-day impact or friction still it intact.

Dell Adamo Performance Test Evaluation

Dell adamo temperature test

Temperature control, the single piece of metal panel Dell adamo side A can be described as the armor of body, so slim body thanks to a strong brushed metal shell also has played a positive role in cooling. 20 degrees room temperature were measured in six locations have keyboard C surface average temperature, as shown. Dell adamo overall warming control in place, or more visible, but important to note Compaq Presario CQ20 battery that this is only the test results in air-conditioned room temperature, once it is in outdoor or hot environment, then the C surface temperature will be significantly increased impact to the operation.

Dell player adamo HD test

HD playback test, we select two segments of the mainstream high-definition video format, do not use the MPlayer software to play, and observe the screen fluency, as well as CPU utilization. Film, we chose the "Garfield" and "Kung Fu Panda". The following test video 1080P HD movies "Garfield" for some of them, belong to the Coffee Cat is the encoding of the H.264 format, the processor utilization Compaq Presario CQ20-100 battery is maintained at 53%. Kung Fu Panda is a period of relatively low quality of the video clip is a VC-1 format CPU usage is steadily maintained at about 25%.

Dell adamo basic system information

Test platform is a brief description to: Install Windows Vista Ultimate English version of the operating system, install the necessary chipset drivers, graphics drivers, sound drivers and network card driver; turn off Vista sidebar, close the ORC, and close the screensaver, turn off hibernation, turn off the System Update and other automatic update the settings; the desktop background is set to a solid color, select and set the Compaq Presario CQ20-200 battery maximum performance mode; set the highest performance mode of the system; C drive Disk Defragmenter.
We have seen in the CPU information, the processor named Intel Core 2 Duo U9400, the most advanced version of the part of the ultra low voltage processor, the Core the VID voltage is 0.988V. U9400 with Penryn core with 3MB of L2 cache and 1066MHz front side bus frequency.
The look the VISTA self-test score of 3.2 seems to still general, but open AERO and other Vista desktop effects are quite smooth. In addition, the relative weakness of the test CPU and graphics hardware, VISTA score achieved a score of about 3.2.
Configuration, the Dell Adamo laptop top with a version of Compaq Presario CQ20-300 battery the Intel Core 2 dual-core SU9400 processor, Intel GS45 motherboard chip group, Intel 5300AGN wireless card, Dell 370 Bluetooth 2.1 module; has 4GB of DDR3 dual channel memory, 128GB solid state hard drive, integrated Intel GMA X4500 shows the core; 13.4-inch ultra-thin LED backlit display (the screen resolution of 1366 × 768 screen ratio of 16:9); integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, integrated digital microphone; pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit operating system.

Dell adamo performance test

Next we look at the Dell adamo 128GB SSD DELL Inspiron 1440 battery performance. We use the most commonly used HD Tune to test results, to enhance the benefits of the hard disk transfer rate than ordinary hard disk performance is obvious, but the high CPU utilization. But from the point of view of the transmission curve does not look good curve volatile enough smooth, which will mean that the data transfer process is not enough stable.
Dell adamo single-core and multi-core processing CineBench10 image rendering test scores were 1629 and 2911, we can see that the good performance of the processor. Low power consumption performance is slightly lower than the P and T processors.
Dell adamo 36.6mAh built-in lithium-polymer battery, the user can not replace the battery, and measuring in the the test 36.6mAh battery. From the test results, and its HP Compaq Business Notebook 2230 battery life can be good, by MobileMark battery life of 254 minutes, standby; performance of the whole 166 points, the test is quite satisfactory, satisfactory performance.
3D performance test, the Dell adamo's achievements in integrated graphics family is considered superior, Intel optimized for high-definition video Dell adamo graphics is the integrated graphics to take the lead. In the 3D performance test, the Dell adamo integrated graphics, as an entry-level integrated graphics than some high-end discrete graphics, there is a big gap, but it can easily meet Lenovo 3000 C100 battery you play games, watch movies, images, simple video processing needs.
