Canon Powershot sd700 review

Compared to its siblings in Canon's SD line of compact point-and-shoot cameras, the top-end SD700 IS packs more features into its small frame than higher resolution. It shares the same 6-megapixel sensor as its peers, the PowerShot SD600 and SD630 but has a longer zoom lens and image stabilization to curb blurry photos.

The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS is compact, though slightly larger than the other two models. Still, it's the right size to slip into a jacket or a loose pants pocket. At 6.8 ounces, it's a bit heavy for its small size, giving it a nice, solid feel.


The camera's intelligently laid-out controls are comfortable to operate, though with a few minor annoyances. Most of the controls are located on the back panel, leaving only the shutter release and zoom rocker on the top edge of the camera. I'm not crazy about the zoom rocker, which encircles the shutter release. Though its small nub makes it easy to find and responsive to use, I'd have preferred it to be slightly larger. You select among the shooting and playback modes via a half-covered, View-Master-like wheel on the right side of the camera.


The main camera controls rest in a four-way-plus-OK pad, while menu, print, and display buttons sit next to the LCD screen. You change the flash, timer, macro, and ISO sensitivity settings directly through the control pad, while more technical settings such as exposure compensation, white balance, and color adjustment are accessed via the function menu. The buttons are round and responsive, and they feel comfortable even under large thumbs. My only real quibble with the SD700's control layout is the tiny, finicky power (NB-5L) button, which is wedged in an uncomfortable position just above the LCD screen and to the right of the viewfinder.




The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS is packed with handy features. Its 6-megapixel sensor works with its image-stabilized f/2.8-to-f/5.5 35mm-to-140mm lens (35mm equivalent) and can hit sensitivity settings as high as ISO 800. Its 2.5-inch LCD screen is nice and bright, and it leaves just enough room for an optical viewfinder. Unfortunately, the viewfinder is just above the center of the LCD screen, forcing you to turn your head uncomfortably or polish the LCD with your nose.


Beyond the standard automatic and manual-ish settings--it lacks shutter- and aperture-priority exposure modes--the camera offers a nice handful of scene presets. Included are standard shooting modes such as nighttime, portrait, and kids and pets. It also includes Canon's Color Accent and Color Swap modes, gimmicky but fun options that let you switch colors in photos or take artsy, everything-is-black-and-white-except-for-a-toy shots. The SD700 IS can also shoot video at a standard 30fps in VGA resolution or at 60fps in QVGA (320x240) for effects such as slow motion. The camera offers Canon's thorough color-adjustment settings. If manual and preset white-balance options aren't enough, you can tweak individual colors until they look just right.


The SD700 IS's quick and responsive performance hits the right note. A shutter lag of 0.5 second in bright light and 0.8 second in dim light are about average for an ultracompact, but its 1.5-second time to first shot and 1.6-second shot-to-shot time definitely rise above the crowd. Even with the onboard flash enabled, shot-to-shot time rose to only 1.9 seconds. And it keeps up the pace in continuous-shooting mode--about 2.1fps in burst mode for an effectively unlimited number of shots.


Though it's the first SD-series Digital Elph to use Canon's optical image stabilization system, the SD700 IS does a very good job of minimizing blur. Zoomed-in photos look crisp and clean with image stabilization, and wide-angle, low-light photos suffer less blur than usual.


Image quality, much like performance, rates as excellent. The SD700 IS reproduces color very well, and images are clean with few processing flaws. Photos remain consistent and noise-free at low-to-moderate ISO speeds and are acceptable even at ISO 400. At ISO 800, we noticed some distinct noise in our photos, but it was a clean, grainlike noise that left the images very usable. Furthermore, lens sharpness remains relatively consistent around the edges, unlike with some similar cameras. This helps keep fringing to a minimum.


The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is a bit high compared to that of its little brothers, the SD600 and SD630, but its great image stabilization and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid.

Hp pavilion zd7000 laptop and laptop battery review

hp pavilion zd7000 laptop and battery


Laptops are ready to take over the world -- the world of desktops, that is. Sleek, stylish and powerful, today's crop of laptop computers are priced more reasonably and can do more than ever before. The nominees in this year's Datamation Laptop Product of the Year Awards are all worthy of taking the place of a desktop model.

"Now, notebooks are delivering desktop-level performance at ever-falling price points," says Alan Promisel, research analyst, client computing for International Data Corp., a market research firm in Framingham, Mass.

This category's winner, the Hewlett-Packard Co. Pavilion zd7000 boasts a generous 17-inch screen along with a cranking 3.2GHz Pentium 4 processor, 60GB hard drive and a built-in DVD-RW drive. And at a street price of a bit less than $1,500, the Pavilion zd7000 is priced right.

"The fast processor easily enables multitasking," says Chris Nerney, executive editor of JupiterWeb's IT Management channels and owner of a Pavilion zd7000. "And the wider screen is ideal for spreadsheet work. You can see more columns than with most notebooks without having to shrink the spreadsheet."


Features of HP Pavilion zd7000

HP stocked the Pavilion zd7000 with features on the outside and muscle on the inside. Along the edges, it has a quartet of USB 2.0 ports; a four-pin FireWire port; S-Video; two flash memory slots that read Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and SmartMedia; and a Type II/Type III PC Card slot. A fixed DVD-R/RW drive accommodates most optical media but, unfortunately, not a backup battery. Inside, there's a screaming-hot 3.2GHz desktop Pentium 4 (it really does run hot; good thing the Pavilion zd7000 is too heavy to park on your lap for long); Nvidia's AGP 8X GeForce FX Go5600 graphics controller with 128MB of its own memory; 512MB of 333MHz memory filling both memory slots; and a 60GB hard drive.

Microsoft streamlined and extended Media Center Edition (MCE) 2004 in some useful ways. The basic idea is a separate, no-keyboard interface that lets you use the remote to run utilities for viewing and recording television, organizing and displaying photos, and performing other media-oriented activities. MCE 2004 can teach itself how to work with your set-top box, walk you through calibrating color on your screen, and notify you when someone is trying to call you (if you have Caller ID). It can download current TV schedules unattended and record a TV show while you're using the system for other tasks. Microsoft also improved the television listings; you now have tools to sort and filter them, and you can find listings based on keywords


Performance of HP Pavilion zd7000

The HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE comes in first place in mobile performance in this small test group of desktop replacements. The HP Pavilion zd7000 is the first laptop we've tested with Intel's Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor. The difference between this chip and the normal Pentium 4 is the addition of a 2MB L3 memory cache on the Extreme Edition chip as well as its normal 512K L2 memory cache. The HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE's mobile performance score has less to do with this major bump in cache memory and more to do with how low the speed of the processor is throttled in order to conserve battery life. In this case, the HP Pavilion zd7000's 3.2GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor does not drop its speed significantly and as a result ends up with the highest MobileMark performance score we've yet seen. Unfortunately, the HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE's great mobile performance does not come without a price, as is seen in its battery life score. The Dell Inspiron XPS with its Pentium 4 3.4GHz processor is a distant second in mobile performance, with the original HP Pavilion zd7000 P4 bringing up the rear. Often with desktop replacements, mobile performance comes down to how much battery life the manufacturer is comfortable sacrificing. In the case of the HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE, HP chooses mobile performance, designing a system that can run office and content-creation applications very fast in a mobile state.

Battery of hp pavilion zd7000 laptop

The HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE pays the price for its impressive mobile performance with lackluster battery life that puts it in a distant last place in our group of desktop replacements. Although the HP 338794-001 includes a huge 14.8V, 6,600mAh (98WHr) battery, the battery is drained in less than two hours. This is a result of its CPU running at a relatively high speed, as evidenced by its great mobile performance. The Dell Inspiron XPS which includes a Pentium 4-3.4GHz processor, came in first place in battery life. Since the Dell Inspiron XPS's 14.8V, 6,400mAh (95WHr) battery has specs similar to the HP Pavilion zd7000's battery, this difference in battery life can most likely be attributed to the Dell Inspiron XPS's throttling of its fast processor down to a level below the HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE's. As the mobile performance results indicate, the Dell Inspiron XPS is less concerned with mobile performance and more with battery life. The older HP Pavilion zd7000 P4 with its 14.8V, 6,450mAh (95WHr) came in a very close second place behind the Dell Inspiron XPS. The HP Pavilion zd7000 P4 (battery code pp2182d) was the worst mobile performer of this lot, falling about 4 percent behind the Dell Inspiron XPS. Basically, the vanilla zd7000 P4 system uses less juice to power its CPU than the HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE does. Consequently, the HP Pavilion zd7000 P4EE has battery life that fails to inspire, but having said that, battery life is probably the least important aspect of a desktop replacement, since most users will be using it while it's plugged in.

ThinkPad Features & Design history

ThinkPad Features

Traditionally black, ThinkPads feature innovations such as:



Magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or titanium composite cases

TrackPoint pointing device

ThinkLight, an LED keyboard light at the top of the LCD screen

Solidly constructed full-size keyboard

Active Protection System, an accelerometer sensor which detects when a ThinkPad is falling and shuts the hard drive down to prevent damage
Roll-cage design to eliminate motherboard flex and drain holes on keyboard to reduce damages from an accidental spill

Biometric fingerprint reader

Client Security Solution, which improves security using a built-in TPM and facilitates deployment in corporate environment



ThinkPad Design history

In 1992, IBM introduced the first ThinkPads, 700 and 700C, into the market.[1] The 700C, with Microsoft Windows 3.1 operating system, 25 MHz 486SLC processor, 120 MB hard disk drive, the industry's first 10.4" TFT color display,[1] 2.2" x 11.7" x 8.3" dimension (56 x 297 x 210 mm), and 3 kg (6.5 lb) weight, cost US$ 4,350. The design of the commercial versions differed significantly from the prototype's keyboard-less tablet design. The bright red TrackPoint, embedded in the keyboard, enabled the notebook to be used on an airline tray table without a mouse. An IBM researcher conceived the title "ThinkPad" from a corporate-issued leather-bound pocket notebook with the corporate motto 'Think' embossed on the cover.[1] The name met disagreements from the IBM corporate naming committee because the nomenclature system for the IBM computers was then numerical; however, the brand name "ThinkPad" was kept as the press showed appreciation for the title.[2]


ThinkPads have been praised for exceptional build quality, system reliability, and services throughout their decade and a half of presence in the consumer market.



Tom Hardy, corporate manager of the IBM Design Program met Italian-based designer Richard Sapper (noted then for the design of the Tizio lamp and later commissioned to design a ballpoint for Lamy) and Kazuhiko Yamazaki, lead notebook designer at IBM's Yamato Design Center in Japan. Sapper proposed a design inspired by the Shōkadō bentō, a traditional black-lacquered Japanese lunch box.[1]


The fold-out butterfly keyboard, which appeared in the ThinkPad 701 series, is widely considered a design masterpiece and is on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Another interesting design was in the Thinkpad 760 series, where the keyboard was elevated by two arms riding on small rails on the side of the screen, thus creating a more ergonomic, tilted keyboard as opposed to the flat keyboards of other laptops.

ThinkPad 235

Type 2607, or the Japan-only ThinkPad 235, is an interesting product because it is a progeny of the IBM/Ricoh RIOS project. Also known as Clavius or Chandra2, it contains unusual features like the presence of 3 PCMCIA slots and the use of dual camcorder batteries as a source of power. Features an Intel Pentium MMX 233 MHz CPU, support for up to 160 MB of EDO memory, and a built-in 2.5 inch hard drive with UDMA support. Hitachi markets Chandra2 as the Prius Note 210.

ThinkPad 240

The ultraportable ThinkPad 240 (X, Z) started with an Intel Celeron and went up to the 600 MHz Intel Pentium III. The RAM was expandable to 192 MB max. With a 10.4 inch screen and an 18mm key pitch (A standard key pitch is 19mm). They were also one of the first Thinkpad series to contain a built-in Mini PCI card slot (form factor 3b). The 240s have no optical drives and an external floppy drive. An optional extended battery sticks out the bottom like a bar and props up the back of the notebook. Weighing in at 2.9 pounds (1.3 kg) these were the smallest and lightest ThinkPads ever made.

ThinkPad 300 series

The 300 series (300, 310, 340, 350, 360, 365, 380, 385, 390 (all with various sub-series)) was a long-running value series starting at the 386SL/25 all the way to the Pentium III 450. They were a bit large and slower than the more full-featured models but offered a less expensive ThinkPad.

ThinkPad 500 series

The 500 series (500, 510, 560 (E, X, Z), 570 (E)) were the main line of the ultraportable ThinkPads. Starting with the 486SX2-50 Blue Lightning to the Pentium III 500, these machines had only a hard disk onboard. Any other drives were external (or in the 570's case in the ultrabase). They weighed in at around 4 pounds (1.8 kg) and because of their excellent design are still in use today.

Acer Aspire 3000 Laptop

The Acer Aspire 3000 is one of the least expensive laptops on the market. Though it has an unremarkable design, the Aspire 3000 features a big 15-inch standard-aspect display and weighs right around six pounds--too heavy for regular travel but fairly lightweight for a laptop of this size and price. That said, the Aspire 3000's measly specs aren't going to set any records, and this machine delivers absolutely terrible battery life; furthermore, it lacks some basic ports and connections. If you're looking for a laptop that's portable enough to move around the house for lightweight computing tasks--e-mail, Web surfing, and word processing--the Aspire 3000 may fit the bill.

The Aspire 3000 sits right on the edge between thin-and-light and midsize. It weighs 6 pounds and measures 14.3 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick, so it's a bit bulky for regular travel. It's a smidge larger than two other inexpensive laptops--the 6-pound Acer TravelMate 2350 and the 5.7-pound Toshiba Satellite L25. The Aspire 3000's AC adapter weighs 0.8 pound, which is about average for an adapter on a laptop in this category.

Designwise, the Aspire 3003LCi is a dead ringer for the Acer TravelMate 4060 save for its keyboard: the TravelMate's is curved and the Aspire's is rectangular, and we like both just fine. The Aspire 3000 features a nice wide touch pad, two big mouse buttons, and a convenient rocker button for scrolling through documents or Web pages. It doesn't incorporate multimedia controls or external volume buttons, though it has four programmable application buttons and a Wi-Fi on/off button. The system's 15-inch display has a standard 1,024x768 native resolution and is plenty clear and bright, but it doesn't have the wide-screen dimensions you find on more and more laptop displays

The Aspire 3000's limited group of ports, jacks, and connections reflects its rock-bottom price. It offers one VGA port, one Type II PC Card slot, 56Kbps modem and Ethernet jacks, three USB 2.0 ports, and three audio jacks (headphone, microphone, and line-in). Also onboard is a cost-cutting DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive. Absent from this group are common connections such as FireWire and S-Video as well as a flash-media card reader--a key feature for digital-photo enthusiasts.

Our test unit, the Aspire 3003LCi, features decidedly bargain-bin components: a 1.8GHz AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, a meager 256MB of slow 333MHz RAM, a puny 40GB hard drive running at a sluggish 4,200rpm, and a low-end SiSM760GX graphics chip that steals up to 64MB of main system memory. Both the comparably priced Acer TravelMate 2355LCi and the Toshiba Satellite L25 offer Celeron processors and larger hard drives, and the TravelMate includes twice as much RAM. Many other laptops offer considerably better specs for a few hundred dollars more;

Toshiba portege M200 :notebook's performance and tablet PC's function

Toshiba portege M200 :notebook's performance and tablet PC's function



Toshiba Portege M200


  • Processor manufacturer: Intel

  • Processor model: Pentium M

  • Clock speed: 1.6 GHz

  • RAM installed: 256 MB

  • Wireless LAN: Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 3B (802.11b)

  • Hard drive size: 60 GB

  • Graphics processor: Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200

  • Graphics RAM: 32 MB

  • Display diagonal size: 12.1 in

  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 29.5x3.32x24.9 cm

  • Weight: 2 kg

  • Toshiba Portege M200 battery : Li-ion, 11.1V, 4400mAh
  • Operating system: Windows XP Tablet PC Edition


The Toshiba portege M200's successful combination of notebook performance and tablet functionality make it one of the best on the market.The Toshiba Portege M200 offers a nice balance of features that lets it successfully walk the line between ultraportable notebook and tablet PC. It's neither the biggest nor the lightest convertible tablet we've reviewed, but it successfully integrates a nice array of features into a decidedly svelte, ultraportable design.



Design:

It's neither the biggest nor the lightest convertible tablet we've reviewed, but it successfully integrates a nice array of features into a decidedly svelte, ultraportable design.The M200 has understated design with a silver plastic screen housing and a black main-unit housing.The M200 has a moderate complement of ports. In the rear AC, 2x USB2, and VGA out on the left and and 56K modem and 10/100 Ethernet on the right. It also has an IRDA and one PCMCIA slot. The wireless switch unfortunately controls both Bluetooth and 802.11 . The Portege M200 comes replete with an Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz processor, an Intel 855PM system chipset, and a Wi-Fi-certified Intel Pro/wireless LAN 2100 802.11b adapter, making it a true Centrino. The Toshiba Portege M200 is also easy to control as a tablet. Its well-designed pen and sensitive thin film transistor (TFT) display makes navigating and writing on the screen as easy as using the keyboard and the mouse.


Feature:

One of the most basic differences between the M200 and your average 12" laptop is the crazy spring-loaded stylus that comes out the side! The portege M200 has another unique feature - an built-in accelerometer! This accelerometer allows the notebook to be tilt-aware. The most useful feature enabled by the built-in accelerometer is the automatic orientation feature. On other Tablet PCs, you have to push a button to go through the various orientations. But thanks to the accelerometer, all you need to do now is merely hold the M200 the way you want and press the Screen Orientation button! And hey, Presto! you get the orientation you want.


Performansce:

The Pentium M is also a speedy enough processor .It runs off an 1.5GHz Intel Pentium M processor and after upgrading the standard 512MB of memory to 1GB of PC2700 memory, my working experience was just fantastic!Even after loading many copies of Visual Studio .Net, the system is no less responsive. Even running Virtual Machines for testing was possible without much deterioration in performance.As far as graphics performance is concerned, the portege M200 has a NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 GPU under the hood. Gaming is definitely a possibility with the M200. I play Unreal Tournament 2004 and City Of Heroes on this Tablet PC all the time. Of course, only at a screen resolution of 1024x768. The GeForce FX Go5200 is no heavyweight as far as mobile GPUs are concerned but my games are playable so I'm not complaining! At 12.1 inches, the Toshiba Portege M200's TFT display is small, especially considering its 1,400x1,050 SXGA (Super Extended Graphics Array) resolution. Fonts and icons are predictably tiny, but the display's vibrant colours and wide viewing angle make it a pleasure to use.


Toshiba portege M200 Battery Life:

Now, this brings us to the all important, all encompassing question for all Tablet PCs - how long does this Tablet PC last?
My estimate? Three hours worth of note-taking, voice recording and encoding at meetings, with WiFi off. But your mileage may vary a lot from my estimate. Toshiba portege M200 Battery original code is : PA3176U, PA3084U.



In the end the Toshiba battery portege M200 is definitely worth checking out if you are in the market for a Tablet PC or an ultra-portable notebook. It is more expensive than other ultra-portables in the same class but that's because of its additional capabilities as well as its Tablet features. If you give this Tablet PC a shot, you'll never want to return to a normal notebook again!

Lenovo IBM Thinkpad T60 laptop review


The appeal for users looking for a thin-and-light notebook. It keeps the best features of T-series past (the unsurpassed keyboard, reasonable weight, and legendary durability) and adds cutting-edge features such as dual-core performance, advanced security, and wireless-broadband connectivity. The configuration we tested (model 2623-D2U, to be precise) slips in at just under $2,000, making it an affordable luxury.


The 5.4-pound chassis is classic ThinkPad matte black on the outside and feels comfortable in your hands. Open the lid and you’ll find the excellent ThinkPad keyboard, a touchpad, and the familiar red pointing stick, which has a broader top than other sticks, making it more comfortable to use. Handy Volume buttons also grace this keyboard.


The LCD on our configuration was a high-res (1400 x 1050-pixel) 14.1-inch model, which makes for some pretty tiny type when surfing the Web. Zoom and large fonts are a must; or you can opt for a lower-res panel. Horizontal viewing angles were excellent, but vertical angles were poor with the lid open less than 90 degrees. We also thought the display looked a little grainy when compared with most of the other business notebooks in this roundup.


The blue button above the function keys opens the ThinkVantage Productivity Center. Here, you’ll find quick links to a Wi-Fi finder utility, Presentation mode settings, maintenance tasks like disk defrag and system updates, and a Help menu with rescue and recovery choices, backup, and more. Best of all, the Access Connections utility supports automatic switching among LAN, Wi-Fi, and the new EV-DO wireless broadband connection options. If there is a LAN line connected, this system will default to that; the second choice is an available 802.11a/b/g network in range. Beyond that, the T60 connects to Verizon’s nationwide wireless broadband service, offering good average throughput of 329.7 Kbps in our tests.


The T60 features a fingerprint reader in addition to TPM circuitry. When it comes to durability, the T60 boasts an internal roll cage of sorts; a magnesium alloy inner skeleton surrounds all of the important components and helps protect the screen. For added data protection, the hard drive is shock-mounted and features the Active Protection System, which parks the hard drive heads should the machine sense it is falling. For those of you clumsy in the morning, the spill-resistant keyboard has a membrane below it that funnels liquids to two drain holes on the underside of the system.


The 1.66-GHz Intel Core Duo processor T2300 and 512MB of RAM delivered a low score of 211 on MobileMark 2005, but performance should prove fine for business use. Thanks to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 graphics, the T60 delivered the highest score in 3DMark03 in this roundup of 3,170, good enough for the occasional game on the road. You can be on the road for a long time; the nine-cell battery (9 cells Thinkpad T60 batterythinkpad t60 battery) in our configuration lasted for nearly 5.5 hours with Wi-Fi on, and more than six hours with it off.


We wish the screen was a little crisper, but otherwise the T60 is the perfect business notebook.















PROS CONS

• Very long battery life (IBm Thinkpad T60 battery,compare with thinpad t40 battery)

• EV-DO broadband

• Best keyboard

• Decent graphics

• Hard drive protection

• Display a bit washed out

• Mediocre MobileMark 2005 score

Toshiba Satellite 1200



The Toshiba Satellite is Toshiba's flagship line of consumer-grade notebook computers. Models in the Satellite family vary greatly, from entry-level models to full-fledged Media center class notebooks.



toshiba satellite

The early models did not come with an internal CD-ROM drive, but these eventually came as mobile technology progressed. Such models can easily link up with a CD-ROM drive through the parallel port on the rear (since USB ports came later as well). Some Satellites also lacked an internal floppy disk drive, but a port on the side allowed the use of a proprietary external module for such. These machines tended to be smaller in physical size, unlike today, where they tend to be more wide and more deep, but yet much thicker than they are today. These early model Satellites have a reputation among longtime Toshiba owners as being virtually indestructible.[citation needed] In Spring 2000 some models came with a 15 inch screen and a built in DVD drive, a 6GB HDD and ran at 500 MHz. They were sold for $2400 by Toshiba. They also had a model out called the Satellite Pro.

IBM ThinkPad X30 : a ideal traveling notebook

IBM ThinkPad X30 review


IBM’s ThinkPad X30 is an ideal travelling companion: it's light enough to carry but comfortable to use, and it packs sufficient power and Thinkpad X30 battery life. It is smaller than the vaguely A4 format common to most portables and as a result it's much more suitable for the regular traveller. The 273mm x 223mm (W x D) footprint makes this Thinkpad one of those machines that could, at a pinch, fit inside a briefcase. At 1.65kg, it is also light enough to be carried in this way.


The screen is as large as it reasonably can be in the circumstances, which gives it a 12.1-inch diagonal.Native 1,024 by 768 resolution, which means that text and buttons aren’t especially large, but on balance we feel that the size/resolution combination stays on the right side of usable.


A travelling notebook must be durable, or it will soon die, so we were happy to find that the Thinkpad X30 is largely encased in titanium alloy, including the vital, screen-saving lid surface. Unlike many ultraportables, it has enough ports to make it usable without a docking base, including parallel and VGA, twin USB sockets, FireWire, plus LAN and modem jacks. It also reaches out invisibly via both 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless networking hardware and an equally hidden Bluetooth adapter.


Better still, when we came to the IBM ThinkPad X30 battery rundown test, we got a very encouraging 3 hours 37 minutes under Battery Mark 4.0.1 from the primary 4,400 mAh Li-ion battery. IBM supplies a secondary ThinkPad X30 battery pack which clips onto the base, adding somewhat to the bulk and bringing the weight up to 2.1kg. With this unit on-board, battery life rises to a very impressive 6 hours 57 minutes -- in other words, London to New York with a bit to spare.


The X30 is backed by IBM’s three-year international carry-in warranty, which brings a degree of peace of mind to the deal and goes some way towards justifying the price. In all, The IBM Thinkpad X30 is an excellent sub-A4 notebook offering speed, great battery life and good ergonomics in a light, robust and compact package . That means it doesn't come cheap.

ibm thinkpad t40 notebook review

Ibm thinkpad t40 notebook detail

  • Pentium M 1.6 Ghz
  • 512 MB PC2100 DDR
  • Hitachi Deskstar 80GB, 4200rpm
  • 14.1" SXGA (1400x1050)
  • ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 / 32 Meg
  • Intel Pro1000 gigabit Ethernet chipset
  • 56k V.92 modem
  • DVD/CD-RW

The IBM ThinkPad T40 is among the best portables we've tested. It's pricey, but in testing, the T40 delivered top-tier performance and excellent battery life.

Scaling down to a 9.5-mm-high optical drive bay (from the more typical 12.5 mm) allowed IBM to reduce system height to just over an inch. Even with our test unit's high-capacity battery, which comes standard and juts out by 0.8 inches in the back, the unit measures only 1.2 by 12.2 by 10.8 inches (HWD).

IBM offers the T40 with a broad array of wireless options: an 802.11a/b combo (as on our test unit), Intel Centrino 802.11b, and Cisco 802.11b with LEAP compliance. On our tests, the wireless connection persisted until we were 200 feet away from an access point; only the Dell system was better at 210 feet.

There was no media packaged with the laptop, so in the case of total hard drive disaster, you are required to call IBM. What you get instead is a restore partition on the hard drive. This makes it easier for a large company to deploy their own images for easy restoring, but to the average user it means you pay for 6GB of disk space you can't use without reformatting. It also means that if you have a hard drive failure, you will be SOL. Fortunately, IBM will speedily send you a restore CD if you request one from tech support, or will send you a new hard drive if it is completely unusable. It would be nice if you could request to have it shipped with the computer.

One of the things to keep in mind about the T40 is that it is designed in many ways for being deployed in droves across a large business. Features like Access IBM are more useful to large IT departments than to individuals who just want a laptop

The T40 has a touch pad in addition to the IBM TrackPoint stick, which now comes with traditional, double-wide convex and double-wide concave caps. Many users will find that the wider caps improve on-screen navigation. IBM keyboards continue to set the industry standard.

Dell Inspiron 8200 Review

Dell Inspiron 8200 Review


Do you think you need a new PC? Doesn’t everyone? At the rate of both upgrades in hardware, speeds, memory demands, hard disk, etc. we never seem to be content with our current PC. Well it took me just about a year to finally acknowledge that my current desktop replacement laptop was just too old/slow. While my Dell Inspiron 4000 has served me well, it was time to upgrade.


I have always been a fan of laptops, even as desktop replacements. I just like the look, less clutter, etc. of a laptop versus a desktop. Though my primary laptop never moves (hence one could argue I should just get a desktop), I just like laptops. Sometime back, I had chosen the Inspiron 4000 series over the Inspiron 8000 series because I felt at that time that the 8000s were just too big. But as my 4000 sat in the same spot for a year, I came to the realization that size was not a relevant issue. What I wanted was more power, and more of everything else.


At the end of the day, I had to make a choice. There were so many cool and interesting models out there. From Sony, to Toshiba, even Compaq and Fujitsu had cool models. While the Apple Titanium Powerbook G4 wins for design, I just couldn’t go with the Mac OS. I knew I had to choose a specific detail that would narrow my choices down. I decided that aesthetics could likely be foregone because my home PC would never see the light of day. Of course I didn’t want it to be an eyesore either so something functional but not too ugly. Price was of course a factor -- I want value for money. Weighing all the different factors, I decided that the most import consideration above all other things was the screen.


More than anything else, above speed, memory, weight, looks, etc. I had to have a great screen, if not the very best. Sometime back, Danny told me about the awesome Dell UXGA screen that only it and IBM had. So I looked into it. Dell and IBM are the only two (to my knowledge this is still true) that make a super high-resolution 1600x1200 UXGA screen. I don’t think you can even buy a 15” or 17” standalone LCD monitor with that resolution for a desktop PC today.


That essentially narrowed my choices to two makers – easy enough. When I looked at the IBM, it was 35-40% more expensive than the Dell. That plus Dell’s awesome ability to customize individual options made the decision easy. So I bought an Inspiron 8200 online and it was delivered in about 4 days.


Form


Dell laptops are not going to win design awards and clearly lack a great deal of the appeal of some laptops like those from Sony and Apple. But Dell has tried to spice it up a little. The Inspiron tried to add some flavor by having snap-on plates that could add color to certain aspects like the palm rests. Cute, but nothing fancy here. At least the new Inspiron comes with cool metallic-color plates.


Because it’s a major weight laptop, everything is included. This makes the overall system big and heavy, but the ports, drives, pretty much everything you need is right there. I still never figured out why Dell’s had to have both the pointing stick and the cursor pad. I’m not a big fan of the cursor pad and it often accidentally gets in the way when you are typing, i.e. it’s easy to move the cursor without intending to do so. Not a big deal, but a minor irritation.


Other than that, it’s a big monster but it’s not overly ugly. In fact, I find it highly functional.


Function


The Inspiron 8200 really flies. Maybe it’s the P4 1.8 Mghz Intel chip, or the 512 MB of Ram, but this baby can zoom. These days, you can pretty much pick out whatever specs you want, but the Dell goes even further by making sure you can customize nearly everything. One major annoyance with ordering here in Asia was that I could not order it with the built-in WiFi. Oh well, I have an extra WLAN PC card anyway.


I like the design of two bays, because it can be a pain to keep having to swap out the optical drive for the floppy drive. Now, my DVD/CDRW drive is on the side and floppy drive is in the front. (OK, so I almost never use the floppy drive, but it’s there.)


The basic specs are all there and I have to say that Dell does a good job of putting in the extras like Firewire, good built-in sound system, etc. This time around, I spared no expense and just got the best specs I could get. At the end of the day, I spent over US$2400, but that was still some US$900 less than the IBM model I was eyeing with similar specs.


As I mentioned above, the real winner about the Inspiron 8200 has to be the UXGA “ultrasharp” screen. It’s beautiful. Aside from the fact that 1600x1200 is pretty small (my dad had some problems with a few web pages and the tiny fonts) the screen looks amazing. Extremely bright and sharp, it’s a meaningful improvement over all previous laptops and screens. Powered by a 64MB graphics card, the computer has little problem with pretty much anything you throw at. From games to photos, the 8200 handles it all without breaking a sweat. Multi-tasking is a cinch.


Because of its weight, I have not truly tested the life of the battery and I don’t expect that it will make much of a difference to me. I surfed the web for about an hour and a half on maximum power and the Inspiron 8200 had no problems with just about a 1/3rd juice still left. I think it would probably last 2 hours if you didn’t turn on some power management details, like reducing the screen’s brightness.


Other than that, what else can I say. The Inspiron 8200 is a workhorse. All other functions are stellar.

Wiki: ThinkPad

Wiki: ThinkPad
ThinkPad is the brand name for a range of portable laptop and notebook computers originally designed and sold by IBM. Since early 2005 the ThinkPad range has been manufactured and marketed by Lenovo, which purchased the IBM PC division. IBM ThinkPads have a reputation for generally being solidly built, dependable, and innovative.



ThinkPad R: Business notebook for standard business requirements, two internal bays, one of which is swappable. Models with an appended 'e' (economy) further cut-down versions. The R30/R31/R40e models were manufactured under license by Lenovo.
ThinkPad S: Subnotebook, extremely small and light, produced for Japanese market only.
ThinkPad T: Thin and light notebook aimed at the corporate market. Two internal drives, one of which is swappable.
ThinkPad X: Subnotebook, very small and light, hard drive internal, no internal optical drive, 12" screen. A tablet version (X41 and X60 Tablets) [2] was introduced in June of 2005, and again in December of 2006. The latest update, the X61 Tablet, was released May 31, 2007.



Model-specific information


ThinkPad T20 series (T20, T21, T22, T23) (IBM THINKPAD T20 Battery Li-ion, 10.80 (Compatible with 11.10V), 4000mAh)

Mobile Pentium III or Mobile Pentium III-M, sub-5 lb (2.3 kg) class machines. Contained processors ranging from 0.18 micrometre Mobile Pentium III 650 MHz to 0.13 micrometre Mobile Pentium III-M 1.20 GHz. Typically had 14.1 inch XGA screens, Ultrabay 2000 optical drives, S3 Savage/IX-MV graphics chip and Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 sound chips; although variations along the line existed. Introduced the ThinkLight, a LED mounted inside the upper screen lip that illuminates the keyboard (activated with Fn-PgUp, the extreme diagonal keys); and titanium-reinforced and rubberized screen lids. Used MiniPCI form factor cards, which could be modem and/or ethernet. With the T23, an internal WiFi antenna became available, so WiFi miniPCI cards could be used. These models did not contain the active hard drive protection or touchpad pointing device which appeared in later models. They were clad in black non-slip rubber with embedded glitter. The case lid had tabs along the edge that interlocked with depressions in the lower case when closed, to reduce case flexing. Comparatively more stylish, functional, and rugged machines; and easy to disassemble for repair or upgrades.

ThinkPad T30 series
Solely includes the T30 model. Features include an Intel Mobile Pentium 4 processor ranging from 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz. Any T30 model may accommodate up to a 2.4 GHz processor with the latest BIOS and Embedded Controller upgrades. Graphics are provided by ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 hardware with 16 MB of discrete video memory, which supports external widescreen resolutions. Users have even reported success with output resolutions of 1920x1200 via DVI on the optional Port Replicator II docking station, although IBM claims a limit of 1280x1024 due to a weak TMDS transmitter. The T30 was available with a 14.1 inch screen, with resolutions of 1024 x 768 and 1400 x 1050. DVI video output is available with the optional Port Replicator II docking station, but resolution is officially limited to 1280x1024.[3] Features available include the embedded security subsystem, UltraNav touchpad, 256 MB standard memory (1 GB maximum according to IBM manual, but it has been reported [4] to accept 2 GB of RAM)[5], a 20, 40 or 60 GB hard disk, Ultrabay Plus drive, wireless, and Bluetooth. The T30 also contains a miniPCI slot usable for a wireless card. The shell is titanium-reinforced composite. The whole package was a bit heavier and thicker than the T4x series.



ThinkPad T40 series (battery item:compatible with IBM THINKPAD R50 SERIES battery)

Includes the T40(USA sponsor:IBm thinkpad r50 battery), T41(UK sponsor:IBm thinkpad r50 battery), T42(USA sponsor:IBm thinkpad r50 battery), T43, and associated "p" series (for "performance"; e.g., T43p). A typical 14.1 inch T4x weighs 2.2 kg (4.9 lb), slightly less than the 600 series, and features an Intel Pentium M Processor (ranging from the Intel Pentium M at 1.3 GHz to the Intel Pentium M 770 at 2.13 GHz), a 14.1 or 15 inch LCD (XGA, SXGA+), an integrated GPU (Intel Graphics Media Adapter 900) or a discrete GPU (Radeon x300, 7500, 9000, Fire GL 9000, 9600, Fire GL T2, X300, and Fire GL V3200), and a hard drive ranging in size from 30 to 100 GB with the Active Protection System to protect the hard drive (T41 and later models). "p" (mobile workstation) models are also available with a 14 inch SXGA+ or a 15 inch SXGA+/UXGA FlexView display with wide viewing angle and high density IPS technology. These 15-inch display models weigh slightly more than their lesser brethren, with optical drive and battery, at 2.7 kg (5.9 lb). All T4x models use either 6-cell or 9-cell lithium-ion batteries, as well as an optional 4-cell Ultrabay Slim lithium-polymer battery. Some T42 and T43 models feature a biometric security system with built-in fingerprint reader. Some types of the model also had the option to include Bluetooth support. The T40 was IBM's first ThinkPad to use the Pentium M "Banias" CPU. The T42 employed a Pentium M "Dothan" processor with a 400 MHz frontside bus, while the T43 used a later revision Dothan running a 533 MHz FSB.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 review

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 : the first 16:9 CCD* with 28 mm digital camera


Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera

The Lumix DMC-LX1 is a high-end zoom compact which is aimed squarely at the field dominated by the Canon S series. It features a superb 4x optical zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens equivalent to a 28-112mm lens on a film camera, and a maximum aperture of F2.8-F4.9. It also has an innovative 16:9 widescreen 8.4 megapixel CCD and Panasonic’s proprietary Optical Image Stabilization system, Mega OIS. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 isn't just another midsized camera. In fact, it has two features that make it stand out from most of the other digital cameras on the market: image stabilization and a 16:9 CCD (and an 8.4 Megapixel one at that).


The DMC-LX1 is a fairly compact camera with a 4X zoom Leica lens that starts at 28 mm (16:9 mode only). The most notable feature on the LX1 is its 16:9 CCD, which allows for some very cool landscape shooting possibilities, not to mention widescreen movies. If you don't want to shoot at 16:9 you can select more conventional 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratios via a handy switch on the front of the camera. It's a shame that Panasonic put a widescreen CCD in the LX1 but couldn't do the same with the LCD display on the back of the camera.


In most other widescreen cameras, a 4:3 sensor is cropped top and bottom to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio, wasting pixels, but in the LX1 the sensor has a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, all of which is used in the widescreen mode. Other features on the camera include a 28mm (at 16:9), 4X optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, full manual controls, widescreen movie mode, and more.The DMC-LX1 features an F2.8-4.9, 4X optical zoom lens. The focal range of the lens is 6.3 - 25.2 mm, which is equivalent to 28 - 112 mm in 16:9 mode and 34 - 136 mm in 4:3 mode.


The Mega OIS anti-shake system has appeared on several other Panasonic cameras, and I’ve found it to be quite effective. It’s not quite as good as Nikon’s VR system, or the moving CCD system that Konica Minolta was using, but it does provide at least an extra couple of stops of hand held shooting in low light.

  • 134 page camera manual (printed)

I found a major problem with image noise. Even at the minimum 80 ISO, long exposure shots (one second or longer) showed noticeable image noise, and at higher ISO settings the problem became far worse. Also the memory card included is too small.

The DMC-LX1 uses the same CGA-S005 battery ( lithium-ion rechargeable ) as the new DMC-FX9 ultra-compact camera. This battery packs 4.3 Wh of energy, which is on the low end for a camera this size.

hp pavillion dv4000 laptop battery review

Hp pavilion dv4000 battery

With the Pavilion dv4000, HP delivers a well-designed and versatile multimedia laptop that starts at a highly affordable $850. Weighing just over a pound more than the thin-and-light dv1000, the midsize Pavilion dv4000 is chock-full of entertainment features and quite competent at productivity and multimedia tasks. Given a refresh in September 2005, the dv4000 can now be configured with an ATI GPU that gives it decent, though not exceptional, gaming power; our new test unit, which included the ATI card, costs $1,761. Though it still lacks the built-in TV tuner found on significantly more expensive systems, there's not much else that the Pavilion dv4000 can't handle. We think it's a very good choice for any student, home, or small-office user.

 We particularly like the Pavilion dv4000's large keyboard and found it exceptionally comfortable to type on. The roomy, wide-aspect touch pad has a scrolling strip, but the mouse buttons don't give much, and we're disappointed that HP omitted a touch pad on/off switch, as found on the Pavilion zd8000. Though it doesn't have dedicated track-advance buttons, there are external volume buttons (plus mute) and quick-launch controls for your DVD-and-CD-player application of choice. The Pavilion dv4000's wide-aspect 15.4-inch display isn't the brightest screen we've seen, nor is its 1,280x800 (WXGA) native resolution the finest available, but it's adequate for productivity and most entertainment applications. Our test model featured HP's BrightView display technology--basically a glossy coating over the screen--which gives the Pavilion dv4000 an extra dose of brightness and contrast but also picks up stray reflections. The HP Pavilion dv4000's angled front edge accommodates a set of Harman Kardon stereo speakers, which sound better than your average laptop's speakers, even with the lid closed. Like the previous Pavilion dv1000 model and other multimedia notebooks such as the Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513, the Pavilion dv4000 doesn't need to boot Windows to play DVDs, audio CDs, homemade MP3 discs, or songs stored on the system's hard drive.

Using HP's Linux-based QuickPlay software, the Pavilion dv4000 gets to the opening credits of a movie or the first track of an audio CD in 16 seconds--about a minute quicker than booting up Windows and starting Media Player. Also included is a nifty remote control for advancing tracks, adjusting the volume, and muting the audio; it snaps into the machine's PC Card slot when not in use. Also onboard the dv4000 is a double-layer DVD burner with HP's LightScribe technology, which etches labels directly onto the surface of CDs and DVDs. The only big-ticket entertainment item the Pavilion dv4000 lacks is a TV tuner, as found on significantly more expensive machines such as the Qosmio G25-AV513, the Pavilion zd8000, and the Fujitsu LifeBook N3510, though you can always buy an external USB tuner for around $150. Though it's smaller than the Pavilion zd8000, the Pavilion dv4000 manages to cram in just as many ports and connections. You get a PCI Express card slot (high-speed peripherals are expected to arrive soon) as well as a traditional Type II PC Card slot. Digital photographers and music mavens will enjoy the 4-in-1 flash-card reader, which supports Memory Stick, Secure Digital, SmartMedia, and xD-Picture cards. You also get four USB 2.0 ports distributed around the edges, plus one four-pin FireWire port and connections for audio, VGA, and S-Video. There's a connector for HP's xb2000 expansion dock. And with a 100Mbps LAN port, a V.92 modem, and Bluetooth and 802.11b/g radios, you're in good shape for getting online. All of the ports are clearly labeled with little icons lining the edges of the notebook.

Toshiba Satellite P35-S611 review

Toshiba bills the Satellite P35-S611 as "the ultimate gaming machine" but stocks it with a pile of last year's components. Faced with the demanding system requirements of high-octane games such as Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, today's top gaming laptops need to deliver sizzling performance--and many are doing so in cases that are slimmer and lighter than those of last year's top models. Unfortunately, the Satellite P35-S611 does not convert its massive size into massive power.

Weighing 9.3 pounds (10.8 pounds with its considerable AC adapter) and running approximately 16 inches wide, 11.25 inches deep, and just less than 2.25 inches thick including its rubber feet, the Satellite P35-S611 is one of the larger desktop-replacement notebooks we've recently seen, particularly since a number of vendors have begun to phase out their supersize Pentium 4 models. The Satellite P35-S611's lid is dark blue, and the interior is silver and black. The keyboard is quite wide; the keys are big and reasonably firm. The touch pad is a bit small for our liking, and the mouse buttons are nice and wide, but they're too slim, and they lack any texture to catch your fingers.


The Satellite P35-S611 has a wide-aspect 17-inch display that features a 1,440x900 native resolution; the screen's glossy covering is reflective, which can be distracting. To the right of the keyboard is a vertical row of multimedia controls for operating the Satellite P35-S611's optical drive; the laptop can play CDs (but not DVDs) without booting Windows first. We appreciate the Satellite P35-S611's external volume control wheel, but we wish that there was a mute button, too, and that they both were located near the rest of the multimedia controls. The machine is equipped with a pair of crisp, though not terribly loud, Harman Kardon stereo speakers, which sit below the keyboard in the lower right and left corners so that your hands don't block the speakers when you're typing. Still, we wish the speakers were situated along the front edge so that you could close the lid while playing a CD.


There aren't any major ports or connections missing. The Satellite P35-S611 has three USB 2.0 ports (one on the right, two in back); a four-pin, unpowered FireWire (a.k.a. IEEE 1394) port; a VGA connection for hooking up to an external monitor and an S-Video output for connecting to a TV; and one PCI Express card slot. Aside from a headphone and microphone jack, there's also a handy 4-in-1 memory-card reader that supports SD, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and XD formats. The slot has a removable rubber cover, good for keeping stray debris out of the slot; unfortunately, the cover is not permanently tethered to the notebook and it could easily be lost. For getting online, you get a V.92/56Kbps modem and 10/100 Ethernet connections, as well as built-in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi with Atheros SuperG technology. Our test unit was configured with a multiformat DVD burner. Toshiba bundles a decent software package with the Satellite P35-S611: our system arrived loaded with a trinity of Microsoft apps, including XP Home, Works, and OneNote, as well as ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 1.3 and Sonic RecordNow for burning CDs and DVDs.


Priced at $1,699 (as of April 2005), the Satellite P35-S611 is on the less-expensive side for a gaming PC, though it features a decidedly limp combination of components. Built on a blazing 3.33GHz Intel Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading technology (which accounts for the laptop's large size), the Satellite P35-S611's gaming potential is undercut by a weak ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics chip with 64MB of video memory. Its 512MB of prior-generation 333MHz RAM and its gigantic, but sluggardly, 4,200rpm 100GB hard drive don't help matters, either. Though it delivered an adequate performance in CNET Labs office-productivity and Internet-content-creation tests, the Satellite P35-S611 simply couldn't compete with new (and substantially more expensive) Pentium M-powered gaming boxes, such as the Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2. In fact, the Satellite P35-S611 also got dusted by a slew of better-outfitted Pentium 4 machines, including the Voodoo Envy m760, the HP Pavilion zd8000, and the Fujitsu LifeBook N6010. Surprisingly, the Satellite P35-S611 fared slightly better in our battery-drain test(PA3383-1brs), holding out for nearly three hours.


Toshiba backs the Satellite P35-S611 with an industry-standard one-year limited parts-and-labor warranty, along with one year of 24/7 toll-free phone support. You can opt for several reasonably priced warranty upgrades, extending all the way up to four years of at-home service. Toshiba's support Web site is industrial strength and very well organized. It features sections for driver downloads, tech support, warranty and service, and interactive support. The Satellite P35-S611 comes with some nice support extras, including a system-recovery DVD and both a printed manual and a 230-page PDF user guide.

Wiki: Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery pack


Wiki: Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery pack



Chemistry:Li-ion


Volts: 10.80V (Compatible with 11.10V)


Capacity: 2000mAh


Dimension: 204.00 x 23.30 x 21.10 mm


Net Weight: 148.00(g)


Color: Metallic


 


A Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery cells. They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage, capacity, or power density. The term Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery pack is often used in reference to RC hobby toys and Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery electric vehicles.


Components of Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery packs include the individual batteries or cells, and the interconnects which provide electrical conductivity between them. Rechargeable Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery packs often contain a temperature sensor, which the Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery charger uses to detect the end of charging. Interconnects are also found in batteries as they are the part which connects each cell, though batteries are most often only arranged in series strings.


When wiring a pack in parallel there are various methods and one should take into consideration the balance of the electrical circuit. Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery regulators are sometimes used to keep the peak voltage of each individual Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery or cell below its maximum value so to allow weaker batteries to be fully charged, bringing the whole pack back into balance. Active balancing can also be performed by Sony PCGA BP505 Laptop battery balancer devices which can shuttle energy from strong batteries to weaker ones in real time for even better balance. A well-balanced pack lasts longer and delivers better performance so it is a rather beneficial component of high capacity or expensive packs.


For an inline package, cells are selected and stacked with solder in between them. The cells are pressed together and a current pulse generates heat to solder them together and to weld all connections internal to the cell.

The review about Sony CyberShot DSC-P200

The review about Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 digital camera


Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 digital camera


Specifications Highlights



  • 7.2 megapixel CCD

  • 3x optical zoom

  • Color LCD: 2.0" 134K Pixel LCD Screen

  • Focus: 5 Area Multi-Point AF, Center AF, 5-Step Manual

  • Minimum Focus Distance: 19.7" (50cm)

  • Self-Timer: Yes, 10 Seconds

  • MPEG Movie Modes: MPEG VX Fine with Audio (640 x 480 at 30fps), (MPEG VX Fine requires Memory Stick PRO media) MPEG VX Standard with Audio (640 x 480 at 16fps), Video Mail (160 x 112 at 8fps) with Audio


The DSC-P200 is Sony’s entrant into the relatively new market sector of seven megapixel snapshot cameras, it is the replacement for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150 adds no significant capabilities to the skimpy feature set of its predecessor, competing alongside Canon’s IXUS 700, Nikon’s CoolPix 7900, the Olympus C-70, the Samsung Digimax V700 and the Casio Exilim EX-Z750 among others.


The Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 digital camera has so far lived up to all my expectations, and beyond. The 7.2 mega-pixel facility means you can print crystal-clear prints on A4 photo paper, but most of the time the 5 mega-pixel setting is perfectly good enough for high quality images allowing images up to 3072 x 2304 pixels to be captured. The large megapixel count means that you can print photo-quality pictures to up to 11 x 17 inches. There are several other options for image size recording: 3:2 (3072 x 2048), 5M (2592 x 1944), 3M (2048 X 1536), 1M (1280 x 960), and VGA (640 x 480). The 2 inch LCD is nice to display all those large images.


The outdoor shots are very impressive. The first test shot includes many light and dark areas and really finds out how well the camera handles the level of contrast you find in many typical photos. The DSC P200 had very little trouble indeed. The light areas are reproduced very well, but it is that dark areas that particularly impress me with the detail showing clearly in the shot. Indoors photos are just as impressive.Many digital cameras struggle to focus in poor light and have difficultly in exposing a picture correctly. Many come out either too light or too dark. The sample image showing the bottles is taken in near darkness yet the picture produced is bright and clear.


This camera is likely to suit someone who is looking for a camera that is easy to use, can cater for all the usual social photo opportunities, but has an extra touch of class and quality.The user interface of the camera is very intuitive. Once you enter the menu system, it's very easy to navigate using the directional pad. There are enough "manual" controls (the mode dial, directional pad) available at your finger tips that the level of the complexity of the software user interface has been minimized. If you need to use a preset scene mode, you just turn the dial, and thumb left or right on the directional pad to get to the right setting. No need to dig through 3 or more levels of menus. Here are some shots of the main menu options.


Batteries and Memory Card

Power is supplied by a rechargeable Info Lithium battery : Sony NP-FR1. Sony supplies both the battery and a charger with the DSC P200. All you need to ensure is that the battery doesn't run out at the vital moment.

My particular Pavilion ZV5000 model is the Best Buy specific ZV5240 which bumps the specs up significantly from the bargain base model. I am satisfied with the 60GB EIDE hard drive (4200 RPM). More would have been good, but for the price I can not complain. The system boasts 512 RAM which includes 128MB shared video memory (the video card is a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000). This is more than what was on my previous notebook, so again I’m fine with it but would have preferred more (in a perfect world, of course). The processor is a Pentium 4 3.0GHz with hyper-threading technology (another major improvement on the Satellite which was just a 2.0GHz). With a built in modem and network card in addition to 802.11g wireless (which supports the old b standard), my HP provides all the latest network connectivity. With three USB 2.0 ports, firewire (IEEE 1394), and built-in 5-in-1 digital media reader (supporting Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and SmartMedia), the ZV5000 series computer provides all the necessities and a few extras which have proven useful in digital photography.

While my new computer regrettably doesn’t come with a disk drive, there is that option. I doubt I’ll actually buy the peripheral though it will be interesting to see how I deal without the old trusty 3.5” drive. The CD-ROM is actually a CD burner (24x24x24) and DVD reader (8x) in one. This is a scant improvement on my old Satellite, so I am fine with it. One marked improvement for me is with the internal speakers. The harman/kardon 16-bit stereo sound is worlds better than the generic and unpredictable/oft-crackly sound of my old computer.

As far as input devices go, the notebook comes with a fancy touch pad. In fact, I really like this feature. I’ve never been a fan of the lack of responsiveness with most touch pads, this one is nice. It comes with the typical touch area and two buttons. Additionally, it has a textured area slightly to the right for scrolling. To this I say hallelujah--it’s about time. However, I do instead tend to use a peripheral infrared mouse instead despite my appreciation of HP’s lovely touch pad innovation. Speaking of useful buttons, HP also has a few easily accessible toggle options. It is simple to turn off your touch pad (unlike on my old computer). There’s a button for it just above (get this) the touch pad. You can also toggle your wireless in much the same manner. Oh yeah, and the battery is the expected Lithium Ion, though in the case of the Pavilion it seems to last relatively well (a few hours) as compared to my old Satellite which didn’t seem to do quite as well.

One final thing to mention is that the pavilion ZV5000 doesn’t come with good software. It comes standard with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (blech), the newest (double blech) Microsoft Works, Quicken New User Edition, Microsoft Money, Encarta Plus, among various other HP imaging software. I’m not impressed by this but fortunately have other better software at my disposal. The final cost of the computer (had it not been a “free replacement”) with rebates is right now about $1300--maybe a little less. For the price I’ve been impressed thus far--especially with the display and sound. It definitely isn’t a good choice if you are looking for something light and mobile, but if your laptop is your only computer the HP ZV5000 is worth investigating.
