Four Must Consider Tips On High-End Notebooks

Monday, March 14th, 2011

We have come a long way since notebooks came to the market for the first time. Back then a notebook was not only heavier in weight but also lacked features that are very common in the modern notebooks. For instance, few would have ever imagined to get connected to the Internet sitting at the balcony in wireless environs with the help of a built-in wireless card in their notebook.
Similarly, the notebooks in their earlier incarnations didn`t carry enough space to store a collection of your favorite movies. Thanks to the constant innovation in the notebook technology, we have been getting more facilities than we can ask for. As the demand of the business travelers for efficient notebooks are on the rise, notebooks manufacturers are investing time and resources to find answers for their targeted consumers.
Needless to say, modern notebooks have brought with them a wide array of user-friendly features. However, not every notebook has all the features you would expect for convenience. The ones that have rich and convenient features such as more storage facility, faster processing speed and lighter weight come with a price tag that beyond the reach of many. Moreover, they have been manufactured keeping in mind of the specific needs of the notebooks users. Hence, those who don`t need these rich features shouldn`t worry about their higher price range.
Given the tricky terrain of choosing a notebook, a few tips on how to take the right plunge will surely do a world of good to the notebook buyers. Here they go:
CPU: Let`s face it- the most important requirement for a convenient computing experience is the processing speed. Irrespective of their requirements, most buyers prefer to buy notebooks with Dual Core chips. However, they will cost your higher than most of the low-budget notebooks. If you want a combination of economy and mobility, you will find several low-budget notebooks with the Intel`s Celeron processors. Although they aren`t they super performer in terms of process speed, they, however, will be suitable for most of your basic computing needs.
RAM: Technically, if your notebook has a good RAM as per your specific requirements, you will always enjoy working on your laptop. When it comes to the RAM of a notebook, it largely depends on your particular computing needs. For instance, if you wish to run some basic applications, a RAM of 1 GB should be fine. Likewise, a 1.5 GB RAM will be essential for your notebook if you are thinking of photo editing and basic 3D gaming apart from running the basic applications. Consider a 2GB or higher RAM as a part of your notebook`s configuration if you are serious about high-end graphic work, video editing and high-performance 3D gaming.
Portability: Notebook manufactures have always roped in the portability factor to promote their new editions of notebooks. Most of the notebook ads boast of the slim factor of the featured notebook. While a slim and light notebook is definitely better for frequent fliers, these notebooks are usually lack some additional features such as internal optical drives, large and fast hard drives, and extra ports. Besides, while most notebook promos brag about their light-weight, practically, your notebook carry bag will include the weight of your power adapter among other accessories. So, the total weight of your laptop carry bag will go well beyond what you have seen on those promos.
Price and Warranty: Most low-priced notebooks are not ideal if you are working on them for long hours. Some of their components may not withstand the demanding work schedules and are likely to through problems within a shorter span of time. Also, you are less likely to get an extended warranty on these shoe-string budget notebooks. Preferably, you should go for a notebook that is that offers you at least a 3-year warranty. Although it will cost you a little higher than your projected budget, it always pays off in the long run. Remember, you don`t buy notebooks every year.

Depending upon its advanced features and storage capacity, there can be high-end expensive and the top budget notebooks. For budget conscious consumers, notebook manufacturers offer the top budget notebooks which are cheaper in price and lighter in performance.

While manufacturing the top budget notebooks, manufacturers trade off in hardware or software features to produce quality systems. Let`s face it; consumers who are in a shoe-string budget have to compromise either on price or on high-end performance.

But the top budget notebooks have all basic features and are capable of delivering full solutions for computer related tasks. With computing technology improving every year, today many varieties of the top budget notebooks are available with impressive set of core options in affordable price ranges.

It is wise to invest in the top budget notebooks. Of course the latest high-end ultra-slim notebooks offer much more as compared to these budget notebooks. But consider about the usability of so many high-end features. Not all of us need a high-speed notebook.

History and Issues of Notebooks

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

A Notebook or commonly referred to as a laptop computer is a smaller version of the desktop computer. But its advantages are that all of its components it comes in one neat mobile notebook shaped digital display box, and is easily portable. It usually weighs around 2 to 17 pounds (1 to 8 kgs) depending on the make, materials and different other factors that come into play such as the parent company etc.

Notebooks run on a singular battery from (usually) an external AC/DC adapter. It charges the battery and in the meanwhile supplies power to the laptop too. Numerous `notebooks` have a 3 volt back-up cell to supply power during power failures and when in places where there is no steady power supply. Notebooks, as personal computers are worthy and capable of doing the same work as of desktop computers. But they are less powerful than their desktop counterparts at the same price. This is because of the fact that most parts used in desktop computers are miniaturized to fit into the slim notebook version of the machine.

Notebooks usually have LCD (liquid crystal displays) and they use separate memory modules for their RAM. Notebooks usually have a touchpad (or trackpad) for a mouse and an in-built keyboard. But external installments of these can also be attached if the user wants to do so.

The first commercially available laptop (the name notebook was not feasible at that time as they were much bigger than the versions available now) was the Osborne I in 1981. Though it was much heavier and had only a tiny CRT monitor, yet it had a revolutionary effect on the business and industrial sectors. The idea of taking back work to home was given a full new meaning. A better installment of the laptop or the `notebook` came in 1983. Compaq Portable was the first tech-product of Compaq and was a notebook version of the then hugely popular IBM Personal Computer. It became a hit as it was more IBM-compatible than portable from its predecessors!

But the first notebook was arguably the GRiD Compass 1101, released in 1982 by Bill Moggridge. The `clamshell` design, or the `notebook` design, where the LCD monitor remains shut against the keypad, was introduced. It was enclosed in a magnesium case, and could run on batteries. The first commercially successful notebooks were from the SupersPort series from Zenith Data Systems (ZDS), which competed with several other companies such as IBM, Toshiba, Compaq and others to notch up a deal with the U.S. Air Force for a contract of supplying 200,000 notebooks in 1987. This made the laptop popular and penetrative to the business and affordable price ranges to the common consumers.

Even though the notebook might seem a powerful and mobile genius of this age, it has its fallacies too. The major ones may be listed below.

Standardizing and weaker parts:

Parts of the notebook are miniaturized parts of desktop computers themselves and hence are weaker in comparison. The miniaturization process also takes a toll on the prices of the notebooks, which are generally higher priced than their desktop counterparts. Also, notebooks count a lot on steady power supply, even though supposed to be mobile, for a decent performance. Though, today technology has improved this negative facet of notebooks.

Durability Issues:

The portability, make, integrated composite structure and design of the notebooks make them more liable to shock, wear and physical damage than desktop computers. And the worst part is that the purchase value of a new LCD screen or motherboard, if damaged, is more than the whole purchasing value of the notebook itself!

Performance Issues:

Desktop computers are generally high performing machines when compared to notebooks of the same price range. This even though is being abolished slowly by improving cutting edge technology, this will not hold true. As energy and portability are prioritized goals for a notebook than absolute performance.

All in all, notebooks are the rage of the new generation today. And slowly but surely, the era of desktop computers is fading into oblivion.

Notebooks – Go Mobile With Your Computer

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Laptop or notebooks are full featured miniaturised computer that are mobile and function on inbuilt betteries or AC/DC adaptors which charge the batteries while providing power to the computer hence making the utilization of power more efficient.
Laptops and Notebooks, often considered to be one and the same have a few distinguishing features which set them apart. Laptops are heavier, cheaper and larger than their slimmer, sleeker and more expensive counterpart. However both serve the same purpose and have same advantages over the traditional computers.
Man`s inherent desire for improvisation and technical breakthrough led to the innovation of laptops from computers. IBM and Epsom introduced the first laptop in 1983. At present the market is flooded with many top brands that offer laptops with excellent features and competing prices.
The introduction of Windows 95, which was compatible with the Notebooks, completely revolutionized the world of notebooks, which could now give a tough competition to personal computers. It resulted in improved technology – batteries with longer life, no need for acid and a compatible operating system consequently leading to lower prices and higher demands of notebooks. Notebooks now consumed lower power and could store large amount data.
Notebooks can be broadly classified into three categories on the basis of their weight, thickness and size. Mainstream notebooks weigh between 5 and 7 lbs (2.3 -3.2kg) with a screen size of 14.1 or 15.4 inches diagonally. Desktop replacement are larger, bulkier laptops weighing around 5-7 lbs and more than 1.5“ thick, with relatively low battery capacity but powerful components and screen size as large as 17-20 inches (13“x11“) diagonally. Because of its powerful components its serves as an excellent gaming machine.
Sub notebooks are available in different sizes and thickness. Thin and light notebooks weigh between 5-7lbs and 1 – 1.4“ thick with a screen size 11-14“ x 11“ while Ultra portable subnotebooks weigh less than 4 lbs and are less than 1.3“ thick with a screen size 11“x10“. Tablet PCs, palmtops, PDAS are as small as the size of a palm and weigh less than 3lbs and serve both as mobile phones and computers.
No doubt a notebook scores over a personal computer because of portability but because notebooks are in its initial stage of conception its various producers have not decided on standard features of the laptop which makes upgrading a laptop a very difficult process.
Some important points with regard to its various features should be kept in mind while deciding on which notebook to buy. With regard to size and weight, it is to be remembered that lower the weight and smaller the size, lesser the features. Slimmer and lightweight laptops might not have drives.
Notebook processors perform like desktop processor. Dual core processors carry multitasking and are common. Notebook processors have a direct effect on the battery life and the performance of computer. In case of Intel premium processors, the higher is the number, the faster is the processing.
The speed of the computer is also affected by the rotational speed of the disk. The size of the RAM varies with different notebooks. For Windows XP and Mac OS , at least 256MB is required. Optical drives are if vital in notebook computers. It scans a simple CD Drive or a high definition DVD ROM. However most notebooks are equipped with dual level DVD burner.
Notebook computers consist of video processors and displays which consist of native resolution and screen size. Though the portability of the notebook adversely affects the largeness of the display but still wide screen display are in demand. Performance of PC gaming and 3D graphics will be determined by graphic processor Notebook computers come with four cell, 6 cell, and 8 cell batteries.
Normal battery life is 2 to 3 hours. However 5 or 6 hours battery life is also available these days. Generally, the bigger the notebook computer, the lower is the battery life. It must be ensured that you get at least one year warranty for your notebook. In case you are going to use your notebook extensively try to buy a notebook, which offers a warranty for a longer period.
