If you’re careless, then your laptop could be damaged severely. Always carry a broken laptop to a dealer or service center of your laptop.

Some practical steps below you can perhaps try to take care of your notebook.

1. Caring for notebook chassis
Casing is the notebook that is directly related to the outside world (dust, moisture, and temperature). Because of that, regularly, clean up your notebook case by using a soft cloth soaked in a detergent. Instead, use a detergent that does not contain an alkaline substance. It would be better if you use a special cloth that can be found at computer stores.
Also, to look always new chassis, the chassis with a scratch avoid sharp objects or liquids such as glue poured over it. If you want to travel meets these demands, put your notebook is always on the container / bag provided.

2. Caring Screen
Most notebooks use LCD screens (liquid crystal display) or liquid crystal display. Sperti reflected in its name, the LCD is formed by liquid crystal to produce an image. Because thin or fragile keep the screen is not exposed to sharp objects that could cause particular holes or scratches. If you have something on the screen pointed the finger or a pen premises, keep a pen or finger is not on the screen or press it too hard. To clean the screen, use a dry soft cloth. Remember to not press the screen too hard when cleaning the screen. Clean the screen from one direction, for example, from top to bottom or from left to right.

3. Caring batteries
a. We began to fill the batteries, do not use the battery until fully charged. If you use a new battery that will contain the first time, the battery was fully charged may not be due to the chemical characteristics in it. For optimal performance, the battery cells must be activated. The trick is to completely fill and empty your notebook batteries three times in a row. This also applies to the old battery stored or unused for beerapa months.
b. If you are using Hydrida Metal betere Nickel (Ni-MH), try to empty your battery completely every couple of time (weeks / months) once. Total discharge is characterized hibernation mode or menunnjukkan battery indicator level 0%. In this situation, you can plug your notebook adapter and fill the batteries until the indicator shows the level of 100%.
c. If you plan to store your notebook for a long time, remove the battery from the notebook and store in a cool and dry. Places that can be used to store these batteries such as air-conditioned rooms or rooms with air circulation is good enough.

4. Caring for notebooks in general
Notebook composed of various electronic components whose performance is affected by temperature. Temperatures are too extreme (eg too hot or too cold) can interfere with the performance or even damage the notebook. Therefore, do not leave your notebook in a car parked in the sun. Excessive heat can damage the car components in a notebook.
In addition, to protect data in the disk, do not place the various devices that contain or produce a magnetic field / strong electromagnetic around your notebook, producing devices such as magnetic field is not berpelindung speaker (unshielded speaker system) or mobile phone . If you want to access the Internet using the phone’s infrared facilities, place the phone within a distance of about 15 cm from your notebook.

Another thing that does not lose consideration for pentinnya is not turned off the notebook hard drive while the indicator light is still blinking. If the light is still blinking like this, it means your hard drive is doing the activity. The loss of power suddenly (eg when the notebook is turned off) can cause damage or disruption of data apda disk performance. Make sure that the hard drive indicator light is dead and your hard disk activity has stopped before you turn off the notebook. And if you want to move or enter a notebook into the bag, make sure that your notebook is turned off.

How to Select Notebook / Laptop?

acer-notebook1Simple and affordable. Practical and petite. Small notebook, or netbook so called if the processor is made of Intel, is designed as a second system that you can put into a bag and carry it everywhere.

Small notebook to provide Web services, e-mail, and productivity applications in the body of a size not more than an agenda book. Usually the device weighs less than 1.5 kg, was driven from power-efficient processor Intel or VIA, a screen 7 “- 10″, 512MB memory – 1GB, a hard disk storage or SSD (solid state disk), complete with operating system Windows or Linux.

But the smaller size causes this tiny notebook can not martially inclined “unlike his brother. We’re not going to find a dual-core processor or features discrete graphics here. What we get is freedom to move (portability) at prices less expensive than a ultraportabel.

We have lots of tiny notebook brands available in the market. Therefore, choose the most suitable for your needs may not be easy. Well, that was not too dizzy, note the following:

Keyboard and screen size
Small notebook is small, so it is important to choose the machine with the screen size and resolution are comfortable in your eyes. These machines offer the screen size 7 “(such as the Asus Eee PC 4G), 8.9″ (Acer Aspire One, Asus Eee PC 901, HP 2133 Mini-Note, Lenovo IdeaPad S9, MSI Wind U90 Notebook), or 10 “(Asus Eee PC 1000H, Axio Pico, MSI Wind Notebook U100, Lenovo IdeaPad S10).

Resolution on small notebook to be vital. A small notebook with a resolution of 800×480 pixels will require you to roll-roll sideways (horizontal) when you want to see the pages of a Web site as a whole. Fortunately, the tiny notebook offers the later resolution of 1024×600 pixels, so surf the Internet quite pleasant.

Which is also worth noting is the width of the keyboard. Unless your fingers are small, the most notebook keyboard feels cramped little when compared to normal PC keyboard you use. The most relieved keyboard on a tiny notebook is probably the HP 2133 Mini Note (92%) and MSI Wind U100 Notebook (92%), Acer Aspire One (89%). But size is not everything. The placement is also key to note that accessible, or just the opposite, not easily moved.

Operating systems
LINUX: Many of the mini-notebooks come cheap pre-installed with the operating system for free, open source, Linux. Variants can Linpus Linux (Acer Aspire One), or Xandros Linux (Asus Eee PC).

The use of Linux ‘is actually beneficial. In addition to their small size, operating system is relatively more resilient against malware attacks. Do not worry about the interface. Manufacturers have made a small notebook that Linux can use the interface as easy as Windows. And if you like utak-tweaking, you can make a pretty 3D interface with the help of desktop manager such as Compiz Fusion.

One lump in here: the installation program can be difficult and require trial and error with the command line. In addition, depending on the version of Linux installed, maybe there is also software that is not compatible with your little notebook.

The good news, Canonical (the company behind the Ubuntu desktop operating system) is preparing the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, an operating system OEM-customizable notebooks designed for Intel’s tiny Atom berprosesor. This operating system will come pre-installed on some systems later this year.

WINDOWS: XP into Windows operating systems commonly found in the mini-notebook. A somewhat different is the HP, which offers Vista on the 2133 Mini-Note her. Windows is compatible with almost all programs or accessories which are available on the market today. Unfortunately, due to a large market share, Windows machines tend to be targeted malware attacks, so a strong security package like Norton Internet Security 2008 you need to add.

Processors
We have two companies – Intel and VIA – produce processors that are designed to support the speed and efficiency of batteries in a tiny notebook. Intel initially mendayai small notebook with Intel Celeron M processor (900MHz). But now widely used is the Intel Atom processor is more efficient power (800MHz to 1.8 GHz).

Processor VIA’s C7-M (1.0 GHz to 1.7 GHz) provides a decent performance (HP 2133 Mini-Note), but not as fast from rival Intel. Also a tiny notebook didayai by VIA processors tend to be more quickly depleted batteries. Recently introduced the VIA Nano platform (1.0 GHz to 1.8 GHz), which is designed to compete with Intel Atom in terms of battery performance and durability, but these systems have not we met in the market.

Storage systems
Small notebook currently offers two types of storage: hard drive and SSD (solid state disk). Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Hard disk provides storage flexibility (MS Wind Notebook U100 and Asus Eee PC 1000H comes with a 80GB hard drive, Acer Aspire One A150 and the HP 2133 Mini-Note each include 120GB hard drive, while Axio Pico and Lenovo IdeaPad S10 membundelkan disk 160GB), but the disk more vulnerable to shocks and generate more heat due to the parts that spin.

SSDs are faster, more resilient to shocks and surprises and also cooler. But because the price is still expensive, its capacity was still not too big.

Well, if you are interested in storage capacity, choose a mini-notebook that mengemaskan disk. But if you give priority to data protection from shocks and surprises, choose SSD.

Number of ports
If you like to connect a digital camera, MP3 player, or even an external monitor, no need to worry. The average small notebook presenting three USB 2.0 ports, VGA-out port, and memory card slot. Exclusion is the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 which has only two USB 2.0 ports. But instead handed Lenovo IdeaPad S10 ExpressCard slot, suitable for you who like to use broadband internet card. The ExpressCard slot is also dibundelkan by HP 2133 Mini-Note.

Battery
For a tiny notebook to carry everywhere, battery durability is important. Unfortunately most small notebooks currently provides only 3-cell battery capacity of 2000mAh. Endurance 3-cell batteries are generally under 2 hours.

Because it would be nice if could get a 6-cell battery high capacity (high capacity). Owned Asus Eee PC 901 with a capacity of 6600mAh for example, can last about 6 hours.

Quality Webcams
Most notebooks tiny 0.3-megapixel Webcam invest or 1.3 megapixels to facilitate you talk with see-vision (video) with friends and colleagues. Typically, the higher the megapixels a Webcam, the better / sharper picture.

Accessories
Touchpad and mouse buttons are relatively small are common on small notebooks, but you always can add your personal control systems, namely mouse. Choose a wireless with a tiny dongle, like the Kensington SlimBlade Media Mouse or Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000.

If you membuthkan more storage to store a collection of photos, music, videos and documents, do not be reluctant to buy a portable external hard drive.

Revolutionizing the Storage Device With Pen Drives

Posted by admin On October - 7 - 2008

Pen drives are the portable USB device with flash memory to store or transfer audio, video and data files from hard disc of one computer to another. As the name suggests the device resembles a pen or pencil in its shape and size and its memory is built in drive. These data storage devices are equipped with a large amount of memory space.

Generally considered as the improved version of older floppy or recent compact disc, pen drives with smallest memory space can also store a large amount of data. Any common type of files that can be loaded into a floppy or CD can be transferred to a pen drive. Apart from that pen drive are able to house photos, spreadsheets, word documents, music tracks, movie clips, etc. The pen drives are simple to use. One end of the pen drive is designed to connect to the USB connector of the desktop or the laptop to get the pen drive activated.

The files are easily dragged and dropped into the memory and can be forwarded for further use. The function of the pen drives depends on the operating system available. Pen drives prove to be an easy and practical way of transmission of data if the laptop or desktop is constructed with an USB port and the operating system is compatible. The data and information are stored in the memory of a pen drive in the form of an array. Memory chip is the backbone of pen drives which enables multiple read write and reliability.

IBM for the first time introduced the device with flash memory in the year 1998 and it got instant acceptability. Earlier pen drives were available with 8 MB storage capacity. These days the pen drives are being developed with 32GB, 64 GB and even 80 GB storage space. However, the pen drives with high storage space are not that popular for their high price. But the days are not far when pen drives with terabytes will be common in use.

The previous generation of pen drive is the thumb drive. They were also named as the flash drives, the chip sticks and the USB keys. But the core technology is same with every form. In comparison to its previous generation, the pen drives now come with greater and advanced features and are the multi-utility flash memory.

Now the advanced version of pen drives is available with in built cards that enables transferring data from the cards of a mobile phones or camera without the help of a computer. This forms a useful device as the data can be transferred to this larger storage space easily from equipments with smaller memory capacity.

Pen drives are one of the products of the faster changing technology. They are constantly changing in their shapes, sizes and storage capacity. The pen drives also differ in there features. Some pen drives come with in built rechargeable batteries and they get charged when the pen drive is connected to the USB port of the computer.

Almost all pen drives are developed with the built in sound recorder. They even give the provision of MP3 playback using a earphone but lack the clarity of sound. Some pen drives come with mini LCD displays that help in browsing the MP3 songs stored in them.

The technology of pen drives are changing just as the mobile phones and now the pen drives are available with micro sized one pixel cameras. Sooner the market is going to find pen drives with LCD based view finders.

The latest version of the pen drive is gaining popularity and almost every computer user today is found with one of some capacity or other.
