Dell Latitude C640 Reivew

Dell Latitude C640
Dell's Latitude C640 series has long been one of our favorite thin-and-light corporate notebooks, thanks to its smart design, long battery life, speed, and terrific tech support, not to mention its thrifty accessories, which work across the entire Latitude line. We're not alone. According to Dell, the Latitude C600 line is the company's best-selling notebook line ever. The latest update to the line promises more of the same, including faster P4-M processors, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics chips, and--new to the thin-and-light category--blazing 5,400rpm hard drives, all in the customary great, slim case. Even though the C640's ValueWatch rating is only average, businesses looking for thin-and-light notebooks won't find a better combination of speed, battery(compatible Dell 6000 battery) life, features, and support.

The good: Fast; long battery life(Dell inspiron 6000 battery); reasonable price; excellent warranty; has modular devices that are compatible with other Latitudes.


The bad: Ho-hum looks; only one USB port; high-end models are expensive.


The bottom line: The Dell Latitude C640 thin-and-light notebook offers an unbeatable combination of speed and features.

The thin-and-light category is the sweet spot of the notebook world: a great mix of features, speed, portability, battery life, and price. The Latitude C640 series is a brilliant example of why that's so. It's larger than the ultralight Dell Latitude C400 but not as big and heavy as the desktop-replacement Latitude C800 series. But the Latitude C640 still has enough drive options for business users and won't strain your shoulder when you tote it.

dell inspiron 9300 notebook

dell inspiron 9300 notebook

By batteryinfo

Packing just about everything you'd want in a desktop-replacement laptop, the Dell Inspiron 9300 has an expansive 17-inch wide-aspect display, plenty of handy connections and drives, and a bevy of top-notch components, including Nvidia's robust GeForce Go 6800 graphics chip. Delivering nominally lower productivity performance than the prior Dell Inspiron 9300 battery model, the Inspiron 9300 provides a slightly improved gaming performance and a number of refinements, including Microsoft XP Media Center 2005, an optional TV tuner, and two additional USB 2.0 ports, for a total of six. It's not cheap--our loaded configuration costs $2,858--but we recommend it to home and business users who want power and features in a relatively portable rig.

The body of the Dell Inspiron 9300 battery is crafted out of sturdy and stylish magnesium alloy and measures 15.5 inches wide, 11.3 inches deep, and 1.6 inches thick; it has an attractive silver hue with white trim. At 8.2 pounds, the Inspiron 9300 is on the lighter side of robust desktop replacements, weighing more than a pound less than the HP Pavilion zd8000. Still, it's far too heavy for regular travel. With such a big case, the Inspiron 9300 can afford to include a big keyboard, though it lacks a separate number pad, which the HP Pavilion zd8000 has. The mouse buttons are downright huge, and the touch pad is adequately sized. The latter features arrows running along its right and bottom edges, outlining where to place your finger when using the software-enhanced pad to scroll through documents or Web pages. The Inspiron 9300's two speakers and internal subwoofer deliver crisp and rich sound, unlike the weak, flat strains that trickle out of most laptops. Better yet, because the speakers sit in the corners of the laptop's front edge, your hands won't muffle them while you're typing. Sandwiched between the speakers, a row of seven buttons lets you control disc playback and adjust or mute the volume. The buttons are handy, but we wish they let us play discs without booting up the system--a feature standard on other laptops. Though the Inspiron 9300 runs Media Center, the bundled TV-tuner box is rather bulky and probably too big to bring on the road.

Our test unit had a bright, vast 17-inch wide-screen display with a WUXGA 1,900x1,200 native resolution. It made newer games such as Half-Life 2 really shine, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching a DVD movie. We must note, however, that the antiglare coating on the Inspiron 9300's WUXGA screen creates a somewhat sparkly effect that's most noticeable against white backgrounds; we've heard from a number of irate users who have found this intolerable, so beware.

There's no dearth of ports, jacks, or slots: the Dell Inspiron 9300 offers FireWire, S-Video-out, VGA, and six USB 2.0 ports; 56Kbps modem, Ethernet, headphone, and microphone jacks; one each of Type II PC Card and Secure Digital slots; and a swank DVI port, should you want to connect the laptop to an even bigger digital LCD. Last, but definitely not least, the Dell Inspiron 9300 battery includes a cutting-edge multiformat, double-layer DVD drive, which is fixed and cannot be swapped out for another drive.

Like all of Dell's laptops, the Inspiron 9300 is extremely configurable; our Inspiron 9300 series review includes more details about the available components. At $2,858 (as of May 2005), the configuration CNET tested was quite expensive. Our test model had a blazing Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 graphics chip with an ample 256MB of dedicated video RAM; a power-saving 2.0GHz Pentium M processor; 1GB of speedy 533MHz system memory; a moderately fast 5,400rpm 80GB hard drive; and a giant 17-inch wide-screen display. Our Inspiron 9300 test unit flew through CNET Labs' benchmarks, so if you're low on dough, consider getting a unit with a slower, less expensive processor and less memory; if you're looking for a significantly less expensive, lower-octane desktop replacement, check out the Toshiba Satellite P35-S611.

Our test model featured a 2.0GHz Pentium M 760 CPU with a 2MB L2 cache--an extremely robust mobile rig which outscored many comparably clocked systems we've tested. It held its own in 2D application performance and edged out other powerful laptops on our latest 3D graphics tests; the Inspiron 9300 will undoubtedly deliver strong performance for office and content-creation apps. The Inspiron 9300 even bested the mighty Voodoo Envy m760 on our Half-Life 2 gaming benchmark, revving up to a speedy 64.60 frames per second, though it proved no match for our top gaming machine, the Dell XPS Gen 2. The Inspiron 9300's performance is more proof that a fast Pentium M coupled with Nvidia's latest and greatest graphics solution is a worthy competitor to a heavier, more unwieldy Pentium 4-based machine.

The Inspiron 9300 delivers exceptional design, features, and performance, but its warranty maintains the status quo. Dell backs the Inspiron 9300 with an industry-standard one-year warranty on parts and labor, available by mailing your laptop back to Dell; upgrading to three years of warranty protection costs $269. Toll-free telephone support also lasts for just a year. However, Dell offers a long list of warranty-extension options, including onsite repair, night and weekend service, and accidental-damage coverage, for up to $389. Since you'll be shelling out a pretty penny to get the Inspiron 9300, protecting your investment with at least a two-year warranty is a good idea. The best part of Dell's support Web site is the customer forum, where users can go to get help from other Inspiron owners and Dell reps who moderate the discussions. Otherwise, the site offers the typical knowledge base and downloads sections.

HP Pavilion DV1000 Review



HP has dabbled with blue status lights before--check out the HP Pavilion zt3000--and the HP Pavilion dv1000's blue lights illuminate an entire row of handy buttons nestled above the comfortably large keyboard. In addition to the requisite power and volume controls, the Pavilion dv1000's DVD and CD(the same wiht the hp Pavilion dv4000) quick-play buttons let you play DVDs, CDs, or MP3s stored to your hard drive without booting up. To the lower right of the keyboard are menu control keys and tiny Back/OK buttons for navigating through DVD menus; additional playback controls run along the top of the keyboard. When couch-bound, you can use the included full-featured remote control, which HP has ingeniously stashed inside the system's single Type II PC Card slot--a handy storage spot (when not filled with another card).

The HP Pavilion dv1000 heaps on a generous helping of ports and slots. The left edge offers ports for 56Kbps modem, Ethernet, VGA, docking, and one USB 2.0 connection. In keeping with its consumer bent, the Pavilion dv1000 ships with Windows XP Home. HP's Quick Play application is the real star in the system's software lineup, however, allowing you watch DVDs or play music without booting up the operating system. Otherwise, the Pavilion dv1000 ships with a decent lot of software: a few Microsoft offerings, including Works, Money 2004, and Encarta Plus, as well as Sonic's RecordNow for burning CDs and InterVideo's WinDVD for watching DVDs when the system is booted up.

BAPCo MobileMark 2002 battery life in minutes

HP Pavilion dv1000 Battery 246
Sony VAIO VGN-A190 Battery 163
Dell Inspiron 700m Battery 143

Battery life analysis written by CNET Labs assistant lab manager Eric Franklin. To measure mobile application performance and battery life, CNET Labs uses BAPCo's MobileMark 2002. MobileMark measures both application performance and battery life concurrently using a number of popular applications (Microsoft Word 2002, Microsoft Excel 2002, Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, Microsoft Outlook 2002, Netscape Communicator 6.0, WinZip Computing WinZip 8.0, McAfee VirusScan 5.13, Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1, and Macromedia Flash 5.0).

The HP Pavilion DV1000 specs were as follows:

1.8ghz M Processor
512mb ram (512x1)
WinXP Pro
80gb 5400rpm HD
CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive
Brightview Option
Intel 2200 b/g wireless w Bluetooth
6 cel battery
Remote Control
2 pair earbuds

Display and Graphics. The HP DV1000 with the "Brightview" option which is supposed to enhance color and contrast. This coating does indeed make the screen quite reflective, but it's not so bad in most viewing situations. I have read enough user reports on Brightview to convince me it does indeed increase color and contrast enough to justify the added glare. At first glance, the lcd appeared to very nice contrast and color. However, the screen turned into one of its weakest aspects. Once I started examining DVD movies and photographic images I found that the DV1000 exhibits some very annoying viewing angle behavior. When viewing such content, the lcd suffers from the dreaded "inverse color" effect in dark areas at VERY narrow angles.

The DV1000 has excellent speakers when compared to most notebooks on the market. It sports Harman Kardons, which are mounted slight upward angle that does indeed improve delivery of sound. Also, the unit has two headphone jacks which could prove quite handy when traveling with a companion.

Canon PowerShot A10 Camcorder review



The PowerShot A10/A20 (bp-711)twins (list price $499/$599) were introduced, there was no doubt in my mind what cameras they were going after: the Olympus D-400/500 series, as well as the Fuji FinePix 1400/2400.


All designed and engineered to live up to Canon's high standards. On the high end, the PowerShot Pro90 IS incorporates a 3.34-megapixel CCD; 10X optical zoom lens with image stabilization; CompactFlash I and II compatibility, plus IBM's high-capacity MicroDrives; and no less than 12 (!) EOS-based shooting modes, including several manual options. Just weeks after the Pro90 IS, Canon introduced its second ultra-compact and ultra-cool digicam, the 2.1-megapixel PowerShot S300 Digital ELPH -- successor to the S100, but with a new retractable 3x zoom lens. Its OEM battery code : Canon BP-711




  • 1.32-megapixel CCD delivering image resolutions as high as 1,280 x 960 pixels.
  • 1.5-inch, color LCD monitor and real-image optical viewfinder.
  • 3x, 5.4-16.2mm lens (equivalent to a 35-105mm lens on a 35mm camera) with a maximum aperture setting of f/2.8-f/4.8 depending on zoom.
  • 2x digital zoom.
  • Automatic exposure control.
  • Shutter speeds from 1/1,500 to one second, with noise reduction for speeds slower than 1/6 second.

  • ISO equivalent to 100 (raised to ISO 150 in low light).
  • Built-in flash with five operating modes.
  • Manually adjustable White Balance setting with five settings.
  • Continuous Shooting, Stitch-Assist (panorama), and Self-Timer modes.
  • Images saved in JPEG format to CompactFlash (Type I) memory card, 8MB card included.
  • USB cable for quick connection to a computer.

  • Included software CD with Canon's Digital Camera Solution Disk (version 4.0) for Mac and PC.
  • Powered by four AA batteries or AC adapter (available separately).

  • DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) compliant.
    Li-ion rechargeable Battery Canon bp-711 .


The A10 and A20 share the same 3X optical zoom lens. The focal range of this F2.8 lens is 5.4 - 16.2 mm, which is equivalent to 35 - 105mm. While the lens itself isn't threaded, you remove a plastic ring around it to expose the threads to which you can attach the conversion adapter and other lenses.

One of the differences between the models is digital zoom: the A10 has 2X, the A20 2.5X.


A new digital signal processing IC in the PowerShot A10 (Canon BP-711) camera enables high-speed image processing and rapid data transfer through the cameras' USB interface. The PowerShot A10 takes advantage of this feature by offering a Direct Print mode that enables users to print hard-copy images using Canon's new CP-10 printer. Laptop AC Adapter.


The camera takes just over two seconds to extend the lens and prepare for shooting -- that's fast!Both cameras fared well in our macro test, with the A20's output being a little brighter than the A10 (both were shot at the same time). You can get as close as 16 cm (6.3") in wide-angle, and 26 cm (10.2") in telephoto modes on these two.The A10/A20 can move between high-res photos almost instantly on the LCD -- it's impressive.

Dell Inspiron 8600 Review

Dell Inspiron 8600 Review


The beginning of the line, not upper part Weight Class
dell inspiron 8600 notebook
We are ready to work FutureMark 3DMark03 test - including all four games simulations, including DirectX 9 capabilities - and now we are seeing Codecreatures DirectX 8.1 works on the picturesque base in 1920 with the 1200 resolution 4X antialiasing enabled. This is not the fastest PC gaming performance we have ever seen, but we are looking at the 7.3 pound notebook.

In the Dell Inspiron 8600, introduced today is a direct supplier of the new desktop-replacement leader, and Dell offers several vendors a chance to showcase their latest and most Yes. In particular, he replaces the Pentium 4 - M processor found in seemingly identical Inspiron 8500 with Intel's power-saving 1.7GHz Pentium M, and offers in the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5650 AGP 4X graphics card with 128 MB of DDR RAM.

Add 512 MB of system memory DDR333, and the Hitachi 60GB Travelstar 7K60 hard disk with 8MB buffer, and 7200 rpm-speed, and Philips DVD + RW drive that can be replaced for a second battery or floppy drive, and you have one serious laptop.

(9/2/03 update: Although our early tests loaner is the production, rather than prototype block, a few readers who e-mail that Dell order pages list only on-4200. rpm hard drives for the Inspiron 8600, with 7200 rpm-Hitachi disk available. we contacted Dell, and reported 7K60 is new and not enough, but they can be ordered by phone, and that the Web site will be updated as supplies are becoming increasingly rich - Ed. )

And oh yes, in 1920, of resolution 1200, we mentioned. Here is a rating of the three options for Inspiron Given the wide-aspect ratio (16:10), 15.4 - inch-diagonal display; Dell calls the super-luxury screen UltraSharp WUXGA, with WSXGA + (1680 to 1050) and WXGA (1280 to 800 ) models are also available.

The wide format makes the Inspiron 8600 at the grave of the little things in the briefcase, but sensational letterboxed-DVD-look showpiece. This investment at $ 2820 (2570) 8600 a stellar example of a desktop replacement that in a pound or two lighter and better battery life than most of their competitors.

It is easier than it looks
In Inspiron measures 10.8 to 14.1 at 1.5 inches, which certainly cumbersome, but its 7.3 pound more comfortable in your lap than many of the 9 - plus-pound leviathans now call themselves lap. (The AC adapter little pieces of 1.1 pounds.)



Beautiful blue accents surround the silver-grey system, keyboard, which is both a pen and IBM ThinkPad-style keyboard with the mouse stick alternatives. Both work smoothly, even though the two mouse buttons for the pointing stick feel a bit soft, but when the stylus feel trifle difficult.

Along with the right edge of the keyboard, when some notebooks stack their start, end, PgUp and PgDn keys, Dell offers a convenient play / pause, stop, previous / next track buttons for CD and DVD use, and turn off the volume buttons above the function keys. Fortunately, the keyboard allows the Home, End, PgUp and PgDn keys, in addition to the cursor arrows, though their placement in the top right is a little used to produce (we found a knife in the upper right-hand corner for the Delete key, which is actually a couple of places inflows ).

Along the left edge of the system, you can find a microphone and headphones connectors, an IEEE 1394 port, and a PC Card slot. Parallel, serial, VGA, S-Video from, 56Kbps modem, 10/100 Ethernet, and two USB 2.0 ports on the back.

In Philips SDVD6004 2X DVD + RW drive, which also serves as an 8X DVD-ROM player and 16/8/24X CD-RW drive on the right - and, we were pleased to note, is not simplified and faster reading of a few of our well - worn baseline CDs than DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drives in the past few computers we tested. Pressing eliminates DVD burners and include an optional floppy drive ($ 59) or battery life by another two-thirds from the second lithium-ion pack ($ 129). In Inspiron 8500 configuration page offers a second, 40 GB hard disk for a modular bay ($ 249), but we do not see it listed in 8600.

Even just a standard battery, battery life is not half bad for such a high-powered computer: either a letter or watch a DVD, we regularly received two hours and 20 minutes unplugged operation, the optical storage and hard disk rather busy, and sticking to the top two of Eight screen brightness levels (the rest is rather dark).

Dell Inspiron 8500 review

Dell Inspiron 8500 review




Product: Dell Inspiron 8500
Price: $ 2,436 direct
Technical Specifications: 2.4 - GHz P4-M, 512MB DDR SDRAM, 40 GB hard disk, DVD / CD-RW drive, 15.4 - inch display, two USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire port, 7.1 kg . System weight
Company Information: 800-388-8542, www.dell.com

The best feature on a Dell Inspiron 8500 is a UXGA, 1900 - from 1200 resolution wide-screen display, and in the second only 3:32 batteries, and that the Pentium M - food Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-S405. But while the Dell model has received strong points batteries, it has lost points, not including wireless capabilities. (Dell expects to have a $ 49 wireless solutions available by the time you read this.)

In 8500, in silver-and-blue case is equipped with conveniently located multimedia control buttons, ports and slots. In the laptop has two USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire port, but there is no floppy disk drive, although we doubt many people will miss him. Inclusion at the same time pointing stick and the touch pad allows you to select your favorite navigation method. The speakers' sound quality is fine for a table watching a movie, but like all notebooks we examined, you want to build on external surround-sound speakers for enhanced sound.

In 8500, his knockout screen, multimedia good scores, and impressive battery lifetime, is a universal laptop. In addition to wireless round of the package nicely.

Productivity
Winston Business: 23.2
BatteryMark: 3:32
Wireless type: None

Multimedia
Music: Photo: Video:

Overall, the Dell Inspiron 8500 handles multimedia tasks, ie. The combination of Easy CD Creator 5 for CD burning and MusicMatch Jukebox for ripping the chords, mp3 hard to beat. But even more impressive is the set of images-2000 years, and Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0. Video-editing software is limited to entry-level Windows Movie Maker. But limited video editing better than anyone, when you look at their materials 15.4 - inch UXGA screen.

When I bought my 8500 I was so happy with it. And you know that. I still am. I ordered it with 2.4Ghz Intel P-4 M, WUXGA, 1Gb RAM, Win XP Pro, 64MB NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 TM video cards, wireless 802.11 B / G, Bluetooth, the 24X CD read / write DVD-ROM combo drive, drive and the extra battery. (It provides about 3 additional hours, as well as CD / CD / Additional batteries are hot-swappable. "), I am so happy with it. I had no problems what. And if you want to go spilling water on it (see other people's reviews) , for its full withdrawal. I did that protects against water, fire and fall damage. Gets 3-year on-site service in the total care, 24 / 7 technical support by phone. (Free)-Key board is a bit clumsy, but if adopt it, and endanger gaskets that this will be nice and smooth! Overall, a good machine and good technical support. (If you order through your business, you can call to get corporate support and smart-Tech 's), I would recommend a Dell to anyone.
