There’s a Long Running Debate about AMD versus Intel processors, with the Conventional Wisdom Being That AMD is better for graphics, but thats the Intel chips offer better all-around performance and longer battery life of Sony vgp-bps2. Of course, There’s also “The Facts That AMD-powered laptops systems thwart Cost Less Than Their Intel counter-party. The 15.6-inch Toshiba Satellite L655-S5161x is powered by a Core i3 processor and costs $ 620th Its sibling, the Satellite L655D, is powered by a quad-core AMD Phenom II processor and retails for $ 20 less. Which model Provides more bang for your buck? Read on to find out.

Design

Like Many of Toshiba’s Satellite notebook that equipped with Dell inspiron 1520 battery, the L655 hock a Fusion finish, Which Has a subtle, circular checked pattern underneath a glossy treatment on the plastic lid and keyboard deck. Our machine Came into Helios Grey, an understated yet classy-looking hue. Howeve, the Satellite L655 is also available in Brown Helios, Helios Red, White and Helios. The gray is offset by the glossy black finish of the keyboard, a strip-Where The power button and speakers residence, & the screen bezel. The under side of the notebook is a basic black matte plastic.

Measuring 14.9 x 9.8 x 1.5 inches and Weighing 5.4 pounds, the Satellite L655 is easy to move from room to room. It’s not as light or compact as the HP Pavilion g6x (5.2 pounds), But The Wider chassis not does give you a number pad.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The mildly glossy black keyboard on the Satellite L655 includes a full number pad and is comfortable for typing. While the Dell inspiron 1521 battery is roomy enough, We Would Have liked it better if Toshiba Law had shrunk down the lesser-used Alt, Windows, and highlighting Keys Instead of the space bar, Which felt a little cramped. Likewise, We Would Have Preferred inverted function keys so That we Did not Have to use the “Fn” Key to accomplish Such simple tasks as dimming the screen and muting the speakers.

While the Satellite L655’s touchpad looks small, we found ITS 3:25 x 1.6-inch size to Be Large Enough to-use Comfortably, though it felt more Slightly Sensitive Than The L655D’s. The matte finish Provided Just Enough roughness for easy and accurate control. The touchpad also “allows for multi-touch gestures Such As pinch-to-zoom, Which Worked well.

Recessed Into a shallow oval-shaped well, the mouse buttons rounded overhang the edges of the L655’s touchpad village about half an inch on EACH side. Compared to the diminutive size of the Sony vgp-bps9/b, the mouse buttons ARE huge and responsive.

Display and Audio

The Satellite L655’s 15.6 inch display (1366 x 768 resolution) was bright and clear. An episode of House streamed from Hulu Law had good detail and color accuracy was.

In oval wells above the Dell inspiron 6400 battery sit the two stereo speakers, Which Produced Adequate, but not outstanding sound. While listening to “I’ve Got Friends” by Manchester Orchestra, the mid-range vocals sounded good, But the higher-range guitar embellishments were Almost Completely lost.

Asus Eee PC 1215B review

For the connection of power from the latest 12-inch laptop, desktop Atom processor ASUS NVIDIA ION. The result is an ultra-portable, which is a good match in size, but not the most agile, the overall result. Now comes the Eee PC, 1215B ($ 439), which appears to be the same as the 1215N to replace older, but those areas is 1.6 GHz AMD Fusion E-350 APU. This high-performance chips, twice as fast as the processor and graphics card that can easily handle Full HD video. ASUS has a USB 3.0 port for fast data transfer. But 1215B is $ 30 cheaper than Intel-based counterpart. See full review of Dell latitude d430 battery under the 1215B steaks with his predecessor, as well as other fusion-powered ultraportables.

Like its predecessor, the Eee PC 1215B is a simple matte black outside, the inside of the covers, with the exception of the series a huge keyboard. Since the HP Pavilion dm1z (glossy black design on the network) and Sony Vaio YB (metal cover fuschia) with more verve, but you can spice up the fact that Asus contract in red only $ 10 3.4 pounds, 1215B, and 1215N same weight dm1z office more.Weighing Dell latitude d520 battery is convenient to carry. The Eee PC 1215B is a rubber keyboard is similar to the 1215N, which may make some mistakes faster means.

Dwarf legal 1215N is an alarming shift and bend at the bottom here. Same-size laptops, I prefer the keyboard Lenovo ThinkPad X120, but 1215B larger palms easier for a long time to write because we can not depend on my wrist as edge.We 1215B 3, 2 x 1.8 trackpad . It is smooth and responsive, and significant assets the carrying value of Multi-Touch gestures like pinch to increase and ribbon with two fingers lighter than other ultraportables. Select Dell latitude d610 battery the text and simple.

We noticed a piece of paper performance in the test file LAPTOP translation: 1215B lasted 4 minutes and 12 seconds 4.97GB folder of media files to duplicate. This is a speed of 20.2 Mbit / s, far below the average of 32.6 Mbit / s category. On the 1215N was demon speed faster than 27.1 MBps.The Eee PC-1215B has 5 hours and 26 minutes on a Dell latitude d531 battery test (continuous surfing the Internet Wi-Fi). This presentation is 35 minutes longer than the average class. But dm1z longer than one hour (06:37), the 1215N and go to 5:40. VAIO YB is the shortest job 04:58.

ASUS is to leave AMD Fusion Party, but the Eee PC-1215B provides a slightly better performance than competing ultraportables, HP and Sony. And at $ 439, and 1215B are less successful than the competition, and even $ 30 cheaper than his counterpart, Ion (even if the 1215N better games). But for most HP dm1z category. For only $ 10 more, you get optimistic design, 3 GB RAM, 320 7200 rpm hard drive and an extra hour of battery life. But if you Sony vgp-bps9 battery, a good battery and a good selection of software at an affordable price, great value 1215B want.

7 applications to tweak your Facebook photo

Of all the photos circulating on Facebook with your face wedged in them, there is a flag you should take special care: your profile photo. And it is that we have seen that a profile picture could cause you a problem inadequate than others in this network.

But as Politeness does not brave, we also believe that in order to distinguish yourself on Facebook, you can give an original touch to your profile photo . What better way to do that with web applications we recommend then specialized in creating such images. Take a look:

MyPictr

Let’s start with the obvious: your profile picture should be the correct dimensions to avoid appearing too small. When you upload a photo to Facebook, the page itself retains the proportions of the photo and is not always ideal.

That’s where MyPictr: in one convenient cropping process can cut any photo with the specific dimensions for a lot of social networks. If your picture does not do touch-ups needed, it is certainly the easiest option and recommended.

ProfilePictureMaker

If you want something more than your profile photo resize, ProfilePictureMaker includes several tweaks that can help improve it, or at least give it a twist.

You have three editing modes: Basic , no frills, Neutral , or frames trimmed with sober, Creative , with up to nine types of frames. Of course, most are of English football teams, so we will be more practical if you consider yourself a fan of the Premier League.

Pimp My Profizzle

This site does the same thing ProfilePictureMaker but plays with more types of frames and effects . You can also draw on the photo with different strokes and colors. Of course, we recommend the latter only if you consider yourself a good artist either mouse or tablet.

ProfileGen.com

With recent changes to the Facebook page, has emerged a small window of five images with your most recent photos tagged. Why not use it to give a twist to your profile?

ProfileGen is a generator of banners : Pick the one you like and the site will cut it into four parts in order to upload your profile. Not only have the gallery: you can also create other texts chosen by you.

MyPeex

Sometimes your mood does not match your profile photo. If you want to add a smiley, you can do with MyPeex. This editor uses your current photo and added a sheet below or badge of those who are in their gallery. Not many others can upload or own, but work for most situations.

PicScatter

The application PicScatter ProfileGen takes the idea a little further. And in a single step can be used by a single image, the area of the profile picture, that of the five images above and the three photos of your latest publication on the Facebook wall.

A very original idea, unfortunately, work while no one is to publish then on your wall or you tagged in a photo.

A word of advice: please note the number of lines in your basic information over the thumbnails, or thumbnails appear misplaced.

PicHacker

We left for the final utility complete. This website allows you to tweak your profile photo with all kinds of shapes, stickers, effects and gradients of color. You can also add any custom text in many different sources and tweak the direction and height of the resulting image.

And if not satisfied with the outcome, we will return the photo as it was.

Acer Aspire One 522

The Aspire One 522 is in fact filled with multimedia capabilities, including high definition, as highlighted in the logo of the AMD HD Internet-decorates the palm rest. The merit of the APU AMD Fusion C50, a dual core processor 1GHz with integrated video subsystem AMD ATI Radeon 6250 to offset, and the 10-inch screen diagonal of 10 inches and a resolution of 1280×720 pixels true rarity on PCGA-BP52 battery netbooks therefore compatible with 720p HD video playback.

But proceed in order, starting with the unboxing of the Acer Aspire One 522, which we documented in the video below. The AAO 522 is housed in a black cardboard box imprinted with images of the netbook. Inside we find: Power supply with LED indication; Power cord; 3-cell 2200mAh Sony PCGA-BP52A battery. As always remember that commercial versions of the product will have a different kit on our test machine , which surely will include the paperwork. The configuration for sale in Italy differs from our by the presence of a high-capacity battery 6 cell 4400mAh.

After unboxing, we can begin to become familiar with the PCGA-BP2R battery netbook. We note immediately that the design is identical to that of the last series of ultra low-cost Acer, as the Aspire One D255: the chassis look good on all sides, including the bottom, a glossy cover on the IMR. By opening the handset, we see the Acer CrystalEye webcam embedded in the frame of the display, keyboard, Acer Fine Tip with flat keys and the touchpad and large frameless, integrated directly into the surface of the palm rest.

When the system, we are greeted by the desktop Windows 7 Starter edition. The format of “maxi” by the standards of its category, increases ease of use: not only can you watch movies in high definition directly on ibm thinkpad t61p akku netbooks there is also an HDMI output to dump the HD output on an external television but you can even work with windows side by side or reduce stress when you surf the Internet.

From our first contact, 522 Acer Aspire One netbook is expected to be a fiercely competitive. Pity that Acer has delayed the distribution of this model on our domestic market. For thorough testing on the different hardware and software of this ibm thinkpad t400 akku, we give you an appointment for an upcoming review.

Dell will introduce next month a new Dell inspiron 1520 battery, this time with more dimensions approximate those we see in commercial successes like the iPad. The latest proposal includes a 10.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1280×800.

A dual-core processor Tegra 2 (T20), NVidia, with a clock speed of 1 GHz and the version of Google’s mobile operating system optimized for tablets – Honeycomb or 3.0 – are other settings to expect from Dell inspiron 1521 battery, which , if confirmed the rumors, will measure 261 x 176.4 x 12.9 mm.

With the scheduled date of arrival in the U.S. market in June, has the back-coated aluminum and weighs 720 grams. It will have two cameras that equipped with Sony NP-BD1, one front and another 2 megapixels in the rear, with a resolution of 5 megapixels.

The equipment should be available in versions with memory 16, 32 or 64 GB and in four colors: blue, pink, black and red.

The information is advanced by several specialized Dell inspiron 1525 batteries that since the beginning of the year came to expect detailing some features of the equipment – especially after the release schedule for this year’s manufacturer have, allegedly “escaped” control of the company and be posted online .

The news also appear aligned with the intentions revealed by the company late last year when he confirmed that they are planning to launch “several” tablets in 2011.

Even without official confirmation about the release and features of Dell Streak Pro, Dell inspiron 6400 batteries of the device – and accessories – will have been achieved by tweakers.net and widely distributed online, so the share below.

Porsche tried electric sports car

The sports car maker Porsche has unveiled a Porsche Boxster in Stuttgart with an electric motor. The sports car is one of three Boxster E have been fitted with an electric motor. The company is involved with the vehicle to a major test "model region electromobility Region Stuttgart". The engine of the Porsche Boxster is in the center and is thus well suited as a basis for an electric car. It will offer space for two persons and the battery and electric motor technology can be installed easily in the center of the vehicle.

According to the configuration to the Porsche Boxster will be offered to E with two electric motors whose output amounts to 245 hp. The lithium-ion battery developed 29 kilowatt hours. At present it is unclear whether the electric sports car to be produced in series or not. In sports car drivers with high standards expected of Porsche Boxster E be asked, however good. The carmaker Porsche is in his new car models planned for the future of the hybrid engine and electric motor.

Toyota iQ will be sold in 2012

The electric car Toyota iQ will come to market in 2012 and launched at this year’s Geneva Motor Show for the first time. The range of electric cars amounts to a single charge to approximately 100 kilometers. The electric motor draws its power from a lithium-ion battery. The target group should be targeted especially city dwellers, as it per day on average, only about 80 to 90 kilometers on the road. During the year 2011, Toyota will be tested in Europe.

The vehicle will then be available in 2012 under the name Toyota iQ EV in the form of a lease offer. At the Geneva Motor Show, the world’s largest car company, the new version of its Prius hybrid model, Toyota will introduce the public. There currently are no plans to offer the Toyota iQ as a paid version. In Germany there is currently no subsidy in the form of a purchase premium plans for electric cars and might be one reason why Toyota will offer its electric car only as a leasing model.

Honda-Konzept zeigt Elektroauto

The Japanese car manufacturer Honda will unveil at the Geneva Motor Show with the Honda EV Concept is the concept of an electric car to the public. The range of electric vehicles shall be according to the manufacturer on a single charge for up to 160 kilometers. The concept car is based on the five-door compact car Honda Jazz. The automaker called the Honda EV Concept as an ideal city car. It is a powerful electric motor is used which can speed up the electric car a top speed of 144 mph.

The current is supplied by a lithium-ion battery. The company works not only in the development of an electric car but also relies on the hybrid drive and fuel cells. At present it is unclear whether the Honda EV Concept will be on the market or not. The driver has to decide which drive form the best chance in the future. The fuel will be more expensive and therefore work Honda and other car manufacturers to increase electric cars. Worldwide encourage countries like Frankrreich, USA and China the purchase of electric cars while Germany refuses to Kaufpraemie before.

Solar World will Lithium fordern

The solar company Solar World plant in cooperation with the University of Freiberg, the promotion of the precious metal lithium in Germany. It searches in the Ore Mountains for the precious noble metal, which is the most important raw material for the production of lithium-ion battery packs and batteries, as the newspaper "Freie Presse" reported. When Freiberg Mining Authority has been searching for a deposit already made a request for an exploration of mineral deposits in the Erzgebirge. The request was approved but not yet. When approved, would call Solarworld details for the proposed lithium-promotion.

The Bonn-based company expects a deposit of up to 50,000 tons of lithium in the Erzgebirge. Currently, the alloy is only imported and a Germany could promote independent of lithium-imports. In Bolivia, the world’s largest lithium deposits and both the commodity groups are and battery manufacturers are there secure storage facilities. According to scientists, the lithium deposits in the Erzgebirge is among the largest deposits in the world. It would be the first lithium-promoting for years when Solar World should open up the reserves.

Electric cars lose in the cold to reach

After a recent test of the specialist magazine "Auto, Motor und Sport" in cooperation with TuV Sud decreases in cold weather, the range of electric cars. In the test, the four electric cars Fiat 500 Karabag, Mitsubishi i-MiEV, MIA Electric and SmartForTwo ED were run. The cold temperatures, the increased energy consumption because of the rear window defroster and the air are responsible for the lower reach. The interior heater used at low temperatures up to four kilowatt hours of electricity. A battery of 20 kilowatt hours of power would thus be already empty after five hours without the electric car was only three feet down.

The range of the electric Smart cars decreases rapidly at low temperatures and that of 159 to 84 kilometers on one charge. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is at cold temperatures only on a range of 64 instead of 113 km.

The MIA Electric impressed however with only a slight loss of range. In winter cold, the electric car comes with one battery charge only 93 instead of 100 miles, meaning only a small decrease of 7 kilometers. The winner, however, the Fiat 500 Karabag their coverage amounted to 105 kilometers from 132 kilometers. Car manufacturers have to improve the battery technology and electric vehicle concept cars before the year over the same coverage range.

E-gas station opened in Wiesbaden

The utility supply ESWE AG has opened in the city of Wiesbaden, a first e-service station. There, the owner of an electric car the batteries fully recharge their vehicle. The first electric cars can be purchased in Germany since December 2010. The average range on one battery charge amounts to 150 to 200 kilometers.

Currently in Germany there are less than 1,000 power stations and is a problem for the electric car drivers. Only with a nationwide infrastructure of power stations could make electric cars a success. The company provides them with the AG ESWE supply electricity tariffs that electric vehicles can be recharged at home at the outlet. According ESWE CEO Ralf Schodlock are available at the Wiesbaden-based gas station only green electricity and is a contribution to environmental protection.

A charge but takes about nine hours and not really acceptable. The battery manufacturers are working but the battery technology to extend the loading time but also the range should be increased with better batteries. The battery is the most expensive component in an electric car and it will take to drop the prices to an affordable level.

MSI X370 Review

MSI X370 notebook series is the new X-Slim introduced to Taiwan by the giant list. AMD Fusion platform, 13.4-inch diagonal, compact size and good battery life make it the ideal notebook for anyone who needs to work or spend their leisure time mobility, without compromising on quality and good processing power. MSI, a company that is always attentive to the innovations, has intercepted this information by incorporating the rules into a series of portable Dell vostro 1710 battery computers.

The notebook MSI X370 , the star of our review, stemming from a now established trend in mobile computing. “Portability” is the watchword for several years now in the PC industry. The first netbook with vostro 1720 battery, the recently-thin and then the tablet, but also acquiring the smartphone display ever larger and higher performance platforms are examples, albeit in different market areas, a trend increasingly indispensable in both the consumer and small business .

Batteries are more efficient, more and more hardware with reduced energy requirements, software component management to more advanced devices are allowing to have both more compact and lightweight but with computing capabilities that were unthinkable a few years ago. Moreover the development and diffusion of broadband and 3G connections and move to the Internet for many of the main activities and interests from the user, requiring a turning in the direction of mobility , relegating more and more desktop replacement ibm thinkpad t60 akku notebook segment market specialist staff, such as gaming or professional workstation that.

The hardware platform is based on fact APU E350 with AMD AMD Radeon HD 6310 video subsystem integrated, 2 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500 GB HDD at 5400 RPM and ensures, as we shall see later, the overall performance far superior to those possible with a standard Toshiba pa3534u-1brs netbook. The family X-Slim is, therefore, the interpretation of the house of the Taiwanese concept of “thin & light” , of which X-Slim MSI X370 is the latest incarnation.

In particular, the X370, with its measures of 324 x 227 x 22.8 mm, weighing just 1.4 Kg with 4 cell pa3535u-1brs battery, the diagonal of 13.4 inches and the price of 599 € is a candidate as the perfect solution for ‘consumers who want more than just a netbook, but at a cost not too much higher. The lineup could produce very different solutions in this price, form factor and performance in order to meet the needs of most users still interested in the extreme portability and ultra-thin notebooks.

Panasonic G3: G2 passed to the compactor, new design

We reproached the G2 to be too bulky for a compact camera said compared to an SLR and Panasonic, recognizing the importance of compactness factor in the market for compact interchangeable lens gave the chassis of the G2 (which was the same the G1, the Lumix G Generation I) on the drawing board to achieve a completely new design. Result: the Lumix G3 is 25% smaller than the G2 and win passage in a small bare forty grams and 49 grams with Sony np-f330, memory card and kit lens 14-42mm OIS (stabilized since the G3 still does not have image stabilization built into the housing, the bias of technology since the beginning of Panasonic image stabilization relegated to the optical part).

This gain in size is accompanied by the simplification of the interface on the G3 that loses many of its physical controls, which could attract more beginners, but will make its operation less fluid to power users.

On the basis of G2

The G3 incorporates many technical features of G2 as the extent of exposure of 144 zones, the EVF 1.44 Megapixel has a comfortable refresh rate of 60 fps, face detection, the battery ‘Intelligent Automation “Intelligent Auto” modes PSAM or access to the RAW format. We find the Toshiba pa3465u 1brs which the resolution does not, alas, is progressing and remains of 460 000 points. But of course the screen is touch and the philosophy of Panasonic ergonomic tactile reinforcement of physical buttons was already a success on G2, GH2 and GF2.

Velocity

If autofocus is the same as the G2 with 23 zones and monitoring functions of the subject and its 23 zones, Panasonic have focused on its reactivity and communicates on the rate of development of the DMC-G3 a key criterion for future titillate SLR on their land. According to Panasonic, it would ensure emitted developed in 0.1 seconds with 14-140mm lens HD. Similarly, the rate of burst shooting at full resolution and progresses from 3.2 fps on the G2 to 4 fps on the G3, which also inaugurates a high-speed mode that shoots faster one at 20 fps s 4 megapixels. Another key point, useful to counter this time the high-end compact like HX9 Sony that equipped with Sony np-fm50, Fuji F550
or the Panasonic TZ20 EXR offering the 10 fps The Lumix G3 offers unlimited speeds in JPEG and limited to 7 frames in RAW.

Price and availability of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3

The Panasonic Lumix G3 will be available in body only and in simple kit, with 14-42mm OIS and doubles kit plus the 45-200mm O.IS. for a total range equivalent to 28-400mm, all with a relatively compact, the strength of the G3 which reflects the efforts of engineers Panasonic matter. The selling price of the G3 kit with Sony np-fh70 will be 699 euros. The availability of the G3 is the end of June 2011.

The opinion of Zone Digital

The pair G2-G10 will have a better Sony np-f970 than usual in the Lumix range of G, the G10 has fizzled and the G2 to G3 giving up his place just a year after the announcement. If the G2 was a simple review of the G1, G3 is a bit more forward the concept Micro 4:3 expert with a new case design reviewed for more compact (25% anyway!) and comfort with uilitsation announced as an autofocus very fast, which seems to confirm the facts, but at the cost of simplifying the interface that could divert expert users of this model in favor of a conventional SLR or GH2. The DMC-G3 upgrades also video offering Full HD and a stereo microphone. The G3 seems to show the maturity range of G, with a compact and led, served by an optical range which begins to be convincing. The decisive point is the quality level of the signal delivered by the 16 megapixel sensor that embeds 4:3 and performance of its treatment to fight against competition (SLR + IOC) that is now benefiting from last generation sensors very attractive .

Computer Despite Japan disaster hardly increase in the price high

Berlin (dpa) – The impact of the tsunami disaster to occur with the production of high-tech devices, only gradually felt. For high-quality cameras and lenses could lead to shortages. The prices, however, should remain broadly stable.

The events in Japan to make high-tech equipment is not expensive: According to the lead industry association Bitkom the delays by electronic components after the earthquake and tsunami disaster not to significant price increases. "We believe that consumers can remain calm," Bitkom President August Wilhelm Scheer said on Monday.

The delivery problems with chips and other electronic components does lead to higher prices for primary products, said Scheer. "Some companies feel even slight increases in the price components, but they are in the single digits." Also, will this offset is expected due to the high competition in mobile phones, computers and devices for consumer electronics, so that the delays would have little effect on final prices.

High-quality cameras and lenses could be from Japan, it most likely be shortages, as the Association of Retail Technology (BAT) in Cologne said. The dealers, however, has well-stocked shelves, so that the delays were not to feel for the consumer. In televisions, compact cameras, camcorders and laptops running smoothly after the replenishment assessment of the association. Here also the shelves are also stocked. Even when electronics purchasing alliance Euronics it is said that there currently is no shortage of supply due to the Japan crisis. By the end but it could give effect, a spokesman said in Ditzingen Euronics.

Delays by electronic parts from Japan

Berlin (dpa) – The natural disaster in Japan and the associated loss of production and consumers in Germany have now felt. For products such as cameras, cell phones, laptops and LCD televisions, which rely on components from Japan and are manufactured in the country are to be expected from the end of April marked limitations in the range, writes the Financial Times Germany. " On an even longer wait times would have to stop buyers of Japanese cars.
