IBM Watson Trend iOS app promises

IBM Watson Trend iOS app promises
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
Question: Which new iOS app combines cognitive computing and smart shopping?
Sorry. I just couldn't resist an homage to "Jeopardy!," to kick off the review of a new app from the artificial brain that beat the pants off that gameshow's contestants in 2011.
The app, IBM with battery such as IBM ThinkPad X61 battery, IBM ThinkPad T61 battery, IBM ThinkPad X41 battery, IBM ThinkPad X40 battery, IBM ThinkPad X20 battery, IBM ThinkPad R60 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T60 Battery, IBM 40Y6797 Battery, IBM 40Y6799 Battery, IBM FRU 92P1139 Battery, IBM ThinkPad T21 battery, IBM ThinkPad T20 batteryWatson Trend, aims to "help shoppers understand what is trending and why," by putting super-computer Watson's sophisticated combination of natural language and machine learning to work, to help you shop smart. It's kind of like asking Einstein to pick up your dry cleaning.
Watson analyzes social networks, blogs, forums, and other online content every day, focusing on what people say about the purchases they make, or plan to make. Watson groups conversations into trends and topics, and each trend receives a score between 0 and 100.
Unfortunately, IBM is a bit vague on the takeaways of Watson's trend scores; all it says is the score "indicates the strength of a trend." Strong sentiment online can be positive or negative, of course, so the Watson app includes a few quotes culled from the Internet to help gauge why something might be trending up or down. (Check out "How does Watson Trend work?" for more details.)
The IBM Watson Trend iOS app (and website) give you a quick read on what's trending in the categories of Tech, Toys, and Health. The information is (slightly) helpful in figuring out if you should buy those Star Wars Legos now for your kids (you should, according to the app) or if a Samsung TV is a better choice than Sony (it is, if popularity and buzz are any indication of quality).
However, much of the information in the app seems like common sense, and it does not offer enough information (pricing and availability trends, for instance) to truly help you make informed consumer decisions.
For example, the tech product with the highest trend score is Apple Watch (a perfect 100). The Watson app shows you that Apple's smartwatch score only occasionally dipped under 100 during the past three months, and its score forecast predicts no significant change. (The image below shows how Bose headphones fared since August.)

Post-PC era to give way to post-website era

Post-PC era to give way to post-website era
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
‘A PC is a ridiculous device.” So Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison raged 20 years ago in September 1995, in a warm-up speech at an analyst conference in Paris ahead of Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates.
Gates had just launched Windows 95. It quickly became clear that the dominant computing device would be the PC running Microsoft software. Ellison also realised that Microsoft had begun to explore a move into the database sector, and hence was poised to become a deeply- pocketed threat to Oracle’s core business.
In his speech prior to Gates taking the stage, Ellison prophesied the “post-PC era” with battery like IBM 08K8198 Battery, IBM 08K8197 Battery, IBM 92P1075 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R40 Battery, IBM ThinkPad R32 Battery, IBM 02K6928 Battery, IBM 02K7054 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20 Battery, IBM ThinkPad A20M Battery, IBM ThinkPad A21M Battery, IBM ThinkPad 240 battery, IBM ThinkPad 240Z battery. There would be a new device, the “network computer”. It would be a low- cost ($500), simple-to-use (unlike the PC) and bare-bones machine that would serve just one purpose: to connect you to the internet. All that complex software – word processing, spreadsheets, email, web browsing, games – that used to run on PCs would instead now run on high-performance computer servers, managed by Oracle. Consumers would simply plug into these big machines across the internet, from their elegant and simple network computers.
Among others – such as Marc Andreessen of Netscape and Louis Gerstner of IBM – Eric Schmidt, chief technology officer (CTO) at Sun Microsystems, was intrigued by the concept. Under Schmidt, Sun began developing a stripped-down system to run on the new network computer. He observed: “The implications are serious: if this takes off, it will have enormous impact.”
Move the clock forward 20 years to today. Ellison is now combined executive chairman and CTO of Oracle. Gates has retired but is a part-time technical advisor to Satya Nadella, the Microsoft chief executive. Schmidt is executive chairman of Alphabet, the parent company of Google. And the “post-PC era” is definitely upon us.
The “network computer” ultimately failed when, for a combination of reasons, Oracle abandoned it in 1999. However, Ellison’s vision of cloud computing – running applications on huge “farms” of computer servers across the internet, rather than on desk PCs – is now dominant. His complementary vision of a simple internet connection device, a lightweight, low-cost cloud computing client, is still plausible if not particularly popular. The Google Chromebook (available in various forms from Acer, HP, Samsung and others) is the leading example.

Fujitsu in einem Beitrag im Support

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
ht es um Rückrufe im Technik-Bereich, sind eigentlich immer entweder Netzteile oder Akkus betroffen. Jetzt wurde bekannt, dass aktuell der japanische Hersteller Fujitsu ein Austauschprogramm für Akkus gestartet hat, die in Notebooks zum Einsatz kommen.
Diese sollen wegen eines Produktionsfehlers überhitzen können und deswegen eine Brandgefahr darstellen. Etwas verwirrend: Die Pressemitteilung ist zwar auf Ende August datiert, die Bekanntgabe des Programms erfolgte aber offenbar erst vor Kurzem. Im Menü der Fujitsu-Homepage ist die Rückruf-Seite nicht zu finden.
Die betroffenen Modelle sollen 2011 und 2012 verkauft worden sein. Konkret nennt Fujitsu die folgenden Notebooks als mögliche Kandidaten für einen Akkuaustausch - der Konzern betont dabei, dass auch Batterien with like Fujitsu Lifebook C2310 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP85 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P7010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP86 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP118 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP69 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P5020 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P5010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP49 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook P1030 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2566 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2620 Batterybetroffen sein können, die während einer Reparatur ausgetauscht oder für diese Geräte zusätzlich, separat erworben wurden:
•CELSIUS H720/H730
•LIFEBOOK E751, E752, E781, E782
•LIFEBOOK P701, P702, P770, P771, P772
•LIFEBOOK P8110
•LIFEBOOK S710, S751, S752, S760, S761, S762, S781, S782, S792
•LIFEBOOK T580
Kunden haben verschiedene Möglichkeiten, zu überprüfen, ob ihr Notebook mit einem von dem Produktionsfehler betroffenen Akku ausgerüstet ist. So ist es unter anderem möglich, die Produktnummern und Teil-Seriennummern zu überprüfen. Die betroffenen Akkus tragen die Produktcodes CP556150-01 oder CP556150-02. Die Teil-Seriennummern liegen entweder zwischen Z110802 und Z111212 oder zwischen Z120102 bis Z120512.
Akku raus bis zum Ersatz
Die Nummern sind laut Fujitsu "auf einem Aufkleber unter dem Barcode aufgedruckt, der sich am Akku befindet". Teil-Seriennummern beginnen dabei immer mit einem "Z" nach dem Bindestrich. Alternativ bietet der Hersteller auf einer eigens eingerichteten Webseite die Möglichkeit, eine Onlineprüfung für das Akku-Austauschprogramm durchzuführen. Zu guter Letzt wird mit der Software "BatteryCheck Tool" ein Programm bereitgestellt, das helfen soll, fehlerhafte Akkus zu erkennen.
Fujitsu empfiehlt seinen Kunden, betroffene Akkus umgehend aus dem Notebook zu entfernen und den Computer per Netzteil mit Strom zu versorgen, bis der Ersatzakku eintrifft. Nachdem ein Austausch über den Support von Fujitsu veranlasst wurde, wird dieser kostenlos zugestellt.

Nutrients and Powered by Stomach Acid

Nutrients and Powered by Stomach Acid
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
The future of ingestible sensors could be a cross between silicon-based circuitry and biodegradable materials, with batteries made of nutrients and running on stomach juices.
That, at least, is the vision of Christopher Bettinger, assistant professor of materials science and biomedical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His group is working on edible electronics and ways to power them. Ingestible sensors could provide a gut check for early signs on bacterial infection, look for symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn’s Disease, monitor uptake of medications, and even study the microbiome living inside people.
Some ingestible sensors, such as a clear pill containing a camera to examine the GI tracts up close with battery such as Fujitsu FPCBP68 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP83 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook C2320 Battery, Fujitsu Lifebook C6200 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P1510 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP102 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook P1610 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B6110 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP136 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP112 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP37 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook B2175 Battery, already exist, but they carry a risk of getting stuck and requiring surgery to remove. And researchers are working on devices made from biocompatible materials such as gelatin and indigo. Bettinger thinks the trick is to make the logic circuits out of silicon, taking advantage of the sophistication of that technology, but to encapsulate them in, say, a biodegradable hydrogel that can squeeze through tight openings. The other parts, such as antennas and batteries, would be made from organic and other bio-safe materials.
“If you really want to use these in a clinical setting, we think silicon is pretty good,” says Bettinger, who authored a review article on next-generation devices in the latest issue of Trends in Biotechnology.
One of the main issues is how to supply the sensors with power. “I think a lot of people hand-wave powering these devices through external RF,” he says, “but bodies are a pretty good Faraday cage,” which would prevent radio frequency energy from reaching the sensors. His team has built a battery with a cathode made of melanin—the pigment that colors hair and skin—and an anode made of manganese oxide, a form of a mineral that plays a role in nerve function. The battery has an open design, so that when it hits the stomach, gastrointestinal fluids act as the electrolyte and transport current, much the way the emergency lights of life vests light up when they’re dropped in ocean water. In lab tests, it provided 5 milliwatts of power for up to 20 hours.
Various minerals, such as manganese, magnesium, and copper are considered essential nutrients, and could be used to build electronics in amounts smaller than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “Recommended Daily Allowance”, which should help convince that agency of their safety, Bettinger says. “We think we can go to FDA and say, ‘here’s a battery compound of things that are already in our bodies, plus water,’” he explains. Even silicon, if it interacts with the body, can turn into silicic acid, which has some health benefits.
As for the melanin, Bettinger says, “there’s already more melanin in a serving of squid-ink pasta than will be in our batteries.”
The vision of edible electronics may not be far in the future. Proteus Digital Health, of Redwood Shores, Calif., already makes an ingestible sensor that sends data to a patch worn on the skin. Earlier this month they and Otsuka Pharmaceutical, of Tokyo, Japan, filed an application with the FDA for the first combination of a drug with a smart pill. Then hope to sell a pill of Abilify, a drug for mental disorders, with the Proteus sensor embedded within it to monitor drug uptake.

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
A couple of weeks my Fujitsu AH530 Notebook turned into a “firiji” or “fridge” which in these parts refers to a laptop or device which needs a constant supply of power in order to work.
Anytime there was a blackout or a mouse disturbed the connection it meant an instant shut-off, a black screen and a lot of cursing due to lost unsaved work. No matter how deft I became at using shortcuts to save my work, I still managed to lose a lot of unsaved work.
The last straw came when I tried to compile and test fail2ban before installing it onto my server in order to mitigate the constant bot onslaughts. Due to ZESA and loose connections on my adapter, I could not complete the 10 minute compile exercise. Enraged, I decided to go into town immediately and buy a new laptop battery with like Fujitsu FPCBP147 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP151 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook C1410 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP151 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP159 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP171 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP160 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP176 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP251 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP199 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP233 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP182 Batterythat would at least cushion me from these constant disturbances.
Starting from 4th street and with known ICT accessories supplies like FirstPack, I plodded across the entire capital dodging from shop to shop looking for the battery and each time I was met with a shaking head. Then I swept back this time going into the “indigenous” shops and was again met with shaking heads. With blisters now developing on the soles of my feet I decided to hit the dingy and shady second hand laptop resellers that have taken over town with the same result.
While everyone seemed to have batteries for every HP device ever made under the sun, no one had seen the wisdom of stocking a Fujitsu battery for a customer that may never come.
Even though most laptop and computing devices are mostly the same underneath their shells: with Samsung chips, Realtek cards, Nvdia cards and Seagate drives; people in Zimbabwe tend to be very particular when it comes to brands never mind the specs. People will pay more money for an HP device, I learned, even if has poor specs than invest in an i7 device from a less popular brand.
Before giving up, I decided to call upon one of my friends who used to be in the laptop reselling business before he decided stationary was his thing. I asked if he knew anyone with a second hand Fujitsu battery. He did not, but he knew a “laptop battery Doctor”, a man who could “repair” your old battery and make it work again.

I admit I was skeptical. You see before I left my rural home to come to the capital my mom sat me down and decided to share her gems of wisdom with the me. One of them was that that every person in Harare is either a drifter or a con-artist just waiting to trick poor trusting rural marks. Therefore, whenever I heard something that sounded like it was too good to be true, it was in all certainty too good to be true. Everyone in Harare is a thief she repeated.
But I was desperate so I decided to take down his address. His office can be found one floor above the Newstart Center offices. I was greeted by his secretary who is also his wife. The man himself wore a baking apron and a pair of science goggles as he fiddled with battery cells that were put in some sort of shielded glass box probably to protect himself from the occasional explosion.
He never looked at me and I never saw his full face. For $20 his receptionist wife said my batteries could be reconditioned using new cells and my battery could have a minimum 2 hour charge. I was not yet sold to the idea but decided to give it a try, 2 hours sounded like heaven after two weeks of “firiji” hell. So I quickly handed her the Jackson note and within twenty minutes my battery had been reconditioned.
I decided to charge it for a bit and make sure it was working and when everything seemed to be on the upside I took it home with me. Sure it is not as perfect as the original battery was with its 5 hour charge back when I bought the device but when fully charged the laptop has a 3 hour battery life, which is more than enough for most people.
Most importantly I was able to compile and test my fail2ban software before installing it onto my personal server and I am thankful to the good doctor. Those with “firiji” laptops and have trouble finding their own battery brand can benefit from this service.
I’m pretty sure my trusted laptop battery doctor is not the only practitioner who does this in Harare or the rest of Zimbabwe. Have you been bailed out by other experts like this?
How to beat ZESA and still enjoy your DStv PVRSo a while ago I decided to invest in a DStv PVR 2P decoder as part of my mid year resolutions. I am still trying to find a reason why the Explora is worth that shocking price; the "DStv advert dude" is yet to convince me. After a lot of consideration…

The computer has a 14

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
Fujitsu will this month launch a super-thin Ultrabook, built on Intel’s latest Haswell processors, with an 11-hour battery life and a screen resolution with nearly three times HD resolution.
The company said the new “UH90/L” model from its Lifebook line will be the world’s thinnest for a laptop with a hard disk drive, measuring 15.5 mm at its thickest point. It will mark Fujitsu’s entry into the quickly growing ranks of PCs built around Haswell processors, which boast slightly improved performance along with reduced power requirements.
Fujitsu
The computer has a 14-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 3,200 x 1,800 pixels, or 2.7 times full HD, with a pixel density of 262 ppi. That's more pixelicious that either the Macbook Pro with Retina Display or the aptly named Chromebook Pixel. It's built with Sharp’s IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology, named after the semiconductor on which it is based. The machine will run on a 45 watt-hour lithium polymer battery with such as Fujitsu EFS-SA-XXF-04 Battery, Fujitsu EFS-SA-XXF-06 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP250 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP186 Battery, Fujitsu ESPRIMO Mobile U9200 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP222 Battery, Fujitsu FPB0227 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP42 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook C2100 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP260 Battery, Fujitsu SQU-905 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP232 Battery.
Fujitsu said it will target the gaming market with the Windows-based Ultrabook, teaming with Square Enix, makers of the Final Fantasy series, for promotions. The laptop will come in red and black.
The laptop will go on sale from June 28, sold in a basic model with a 500GB hybrid hard drive and 4GB of RAM as well as upgrades that have solid state drives. Prices were not disclosed, although Japanese press reported the laptop has an estimated market price of ¥190,000 ($1,900) domestically.
Fujitsu joins a growing group of companies, including Dell, Asus and Acer, that have announced computers built on Intel’s fourth-generation Core processor, called Haswell. Intel has said that the notebook versions of the chips don’t improve over the performance of the previous generation by that much, but do offer 50 percent more battery life. The increased battery life may help laptops better compete with the growing tablet market.
Fujitsu also announced several upgrades to its other laptops and a new desktop that is built into the screen and has an internal sub-woofer.

What to expect from 2016's phones

What to expect from 2016's phones
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
The year has seen some excellent smartphones being released, ranging from the Galaxy S6 and Huawei P8 to the iPhone 6s and LG G4.
But what can we expect from next year's devices then? We gazed into our crystal ball to bring you a few predictions.
Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Sony have all brought fingerprint scanners to their high-end phones, making for some cool functions.
But we're expecting cheaper handsets to pack this tech, especially as Android Marshmallow and Windows 10 Mobile bring better support to their platforms.
In fact, this is happening already, as scores of cheaper phones in Asia have packed scanners into their devices with battery such as Fujitsu LifeBook MH380 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP198 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP262 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook PH520 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP155 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook T4210 Battery, Fujitsu BTP-DLZ9 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP268 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP59 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook E2010 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP177 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP179 Battery. Companies like Coolpad, UMI, Elephone and Oukitel are all releasing fingerprint-enabled phones at a bargain price.
Expect current fingerprint tech to take a leap forward as well, thanks to efforts from Qualcomm. The chipmaker has announced Sense ID, being technology that uses ultrasonic waves to read your fingerprint.
We've seen a few smartphones revealed that use iris-scanning already, such as Microsoft's Lumia 950/950XL and devices from ZTE and Fujitsu.
But we expect a few more manufacturers to get in on the action as well, introducing iris-scanning for mobile payments and device authentication.
Iris-scanning is apparently more secure than fingerprint scanning, while some iris scanners are equipped with infrared LEDs to enable low-light unlocking. Neat.
In fact, rumours claim that LG is working on implementing iris-unlocking in its G5 smartphone. But they remain rumours for now. Still, we wouldn't be surprised if LG, Samsung, HTC or another big-name company has this feature.

Sony was the first company to pack a 4K display into its smartphone with the launch of the Z5 Premium. But we doubt it'll be the last time we see 4K screens.
We expect at least one or two more companies to launch ultra HD screens on their phones as well, allowing you to view 4K video at a native resolution. But some manufacturers might opt for a different approach to their screen tech...

Toshiba Satellite Radius 12

Toshiba Satellite Radius 12
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
One of the things I really like about the Microsoft Surface Book isn’t how useful it is as a tablet, but how useful it is as a laptop. Given that I type and browse the ‘net a lot more than I watch video and play touchscreen games, it’s important to me that a 2-in-1 laptop be good at the laptop part. Enter this particular bad boy: Toshiba’s Satellite Radius 12 is a 12-inch notebook, with a beautiful display and powerful hardware, and also a versatile screen hinge that lets it flip around into tablet mode.
What Is It?
The Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 is a $2399 or $2799 12-inch laptop with a 360-degree rotating hinge that lets it transform from a productivity-focused, business-friendly laptop into a kiosk, or tent, or tablet for watching media content. Built around an Intel Core i7 processor, designed for Windows 10’s Hello face recognition, and pared back to its simplest form, it’s built for portability without making too many sacrifices in battery with like Toshiba PA3107U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3383U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3384U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3285U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3191U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3166U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3331U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3098U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3084U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3399U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3905U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS213 Batterysize or processing power. (It’s like the Apple MacBook on steroids.) Oh, and it has a super-detailed 4K display bringing the whole thing together.
That screen is what you get for spending the extra $400 on the $2799 premium model, as well as a 512GB solid-state drive. And it’s a doozy (bit more on that later on). The premium Radius 12 is finished in a dark brushed aluminium finish, while the lesser (but still impressively specced) Full HD $2399 variant is a lighter brushed silver. Both models have 4K-capable HDMI A/V output, a headset jack two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type C port, full-size SD, and tactile tablet-style power and volume controls. Harman Kardon speakers make for surprisingly loud — if not super-rich — sound from a skinny laptop.
Specifications
■Display: 12.5in, 3840×2160 pixels
■CPU: Intel Core i7-6500U, 2.5-3.1GHz
■RAM: 8GB DDR3L
■GPU: Intel HD Graphics 520
■HDD: 256GB or 512GB M.2 SSD
■Dimensions: 299.5x209x15.4mm, 1.32kg
It’s a thin laptop with a metal body, like a MacBook or Surface Book; it’s a 2-in-1 convertible like a Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro; it’s an Intel-powered chunky tablet like a Surface Pro. It’s all of these, but with a skew back towards being a laptop that you can actually use for everyday computing tasks — anything Web-based is a breeze, obviously, but the fast SSD, decent allotment of RAM and powerful dual-core, quad-thread Core i7-6500U make for a machine that can actually handle video or photo editing, transcoding or other moderate-duty tasks that you’d prefer to be on a desktop for — no gaming, though.
Toshiba has clearly put a lot of effort into making the Radius 12 competent in just about every area you can ask it to be. It’s tough — metal body, Gorilla Glass Display. It’s powerful — Core i7, fast SSD, 8GB of RAM (although that’s DDR3, which is an interesting choice given the up-to-date Skylake’s processor supporting DDR4). It’s versatile — it can spend 90 per cent of its time as a laptop, but also run double duty as a tablet for handheld work or viewing, or any degree of leany-screeny touch-and-swipey in between. All that means its thin body does need a heat and fan exhaust at the back, but it’s otherwise quite sleek.

Editing a large spreadsheet

Editing a large spreadsheet
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Of course, even the best Chromebooks aren't for everyone. Workers who depend on a particular piece of PC software will be alienated, as will those who need more power than a budget-priced Chromebook can provide. Still, the Toshiba Chromebook 2's epic battery life makes it a really nice travel companion for business trips.
At 2.97 lbs., the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is the lightest 14-inch Chromebook we've tested, though just by a hair. In comparison, the Samsung Chromebook 2 weighs 3 lbs., while the Acer Chromebook 13 tips the scales at 3.31 lbs. The bottom line is that the Toshiba Chromebook 2 with battery scuh as Toshiba PA3250U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3356U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3291U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3591U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3641U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3641U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS123 Battery, Toshiba PA3727U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3535U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3905U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS246 Batteryis the best of the bunch if you need a notebook that won't weigh you down on your daily commute.
It's also reasonably sturdy for a budget notebook, despite its all-plastic construction. The lid tends to flex, but overall, the machine feels less flimsy than the average laptop in its price range.
The lid sports a dimpled texture that glints when it catches the light, which looks great. The inside of the notebook, meanwhile, has the same matte-silver paint job, without the texture. For the price, it's a nice-looking laptop.
The Chromebook 2 makes a great first impression, thanks to its crisp HD display. The 14-inch, 1920 x 1080-pixel panel is nice and roomy, providing plenty of screen space for work tasks. Editing a large spreadsheet was comfortable, and so was split-screen multitasking.
Our tests showed that the Chromebook 2's display is brighter and offers more accurate colors than you'll find on competing Chromebooks.
Typing on the Chromebook 2's keyboard is supremely comfortable. In fact, it's one of the best laptop keyboards I've tested, ticking all the boxes that make for a great typing experience.
The keys are nice and deep, with a generous 1.53 mm of travel; the keys of laptops in this price range are usually much shallower. That gives the Chromebook 2's keyboard a desktoplike feel. Plus, the keys offer snappy feedback, which will help touch typists avoid mistakes.
Serious typists will lament the lack of a Delete key; as on all Chromebooks, the Chromebook 2's power button has taken its place. Shift+Backspace serves as a decent stand-in for Delete, however.
The touchpad, meanwhile, feels pretty nice. I like the smooth matte finish, which lets my finger glide easily. Cursor control was responsive, and gestures such as two-finger scrolling were reliable.

Toshiba Portege Z20t review

Toshiba Portege Z20t review
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba’s Portege Z20T is a 2-in-1 laptop-tablet combo that tries to be everything to everyone. The tablet portion has a generous 12.5-inch, 1080p screen, it’s reasonably if not exceptionally portable, and it can be docked into a businesslike keyboard that turns it into a conventional laptop. Premium features like backlit keys, not one but two active stylii, magnesium housing, and a ThinkPad-style pointing stick make it an attractive option for the business traveler.
Yet the Z20T stumbles on the details, which keeps it from being a 2-in-1 that’s perfect for all situations. Awkward design choices like a 16:9 screen, tiny, hard-to-hit power and volume buttons, and a poor touchpad make using both laptop with battery like Toshiba PA3399U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3395U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3250U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3356U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3291U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3506U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3591U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Portege 4000 Battery, Toshiba Satellite A10 Battery, Toshiba Satellite A100 Battery, Toshiba PA3098U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3084U-1BRS Batteryand tablet modes harder than need be. Perhaps most damning of all, its high price leaves it at a serious handicap.
Can the Portege overcome these hurdles to earn a definite recommendation, or is it another reason to buy a Surface Pro 4?
Flexibility above all
The core of the Z20T is the tablet, which functions independently of the keyboard dock. As a tablet alone, it’s a bit chunky, even though the Core M processor requires no fan to keep it cool. At just over 12 inches wide and three eighths of an inch thick, it feels wide and heavy if you’re used to iPads or Android tablets.
The screen deserves particular attention. It’s matte, rare for modern laptops, and almost unheard of for touchscreens of all kinds. The aim is to make it more usable in a bright setting. That’s accomplished, which is why it’s so disappointing that the only resolution on offer is 1,920 x 1,080.
Pop the tablet into the included dock and you’ll have a ThinkPad-style laptop with a full metal build, a backlit keyboard, and a pointing stick with matching buttons above the trackpad. Not only does the dock offer a conventional laptop hinge (as opposed to something like the Surface, which is quite hard to use without table), the tablet can be reversed, allowing it to be propped up presentation-style or laid flat to make a very thick slate.

Hands-on with the Intel Skylake laptop

Hands-on with the Intel Skylake laptop
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba's Tecra line of laptops has long offered a selection of reliable, if unexciting, business notebooks.
The new Tecra A40-C, then, could probably have gotten away with being more of the same. However, with a feature-packed, enterprise-friendly design and a new Intel Skylake processor, this machine - a rare addition to Toshiba's under-represented 14in lineup - was quick to grab our attention. Although this latest Tecra won't be out to buy until early 2016, and pricing has yet to be revealed, we got a sneak preview.
Design
Besides some chunky bezels around the screen, we're quite fond of the Tecra A40-C's looks with battery like Toshiba PA3612U-1BAS Battery, Toshiba PA3612U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3614U-1BRP Battery, Toshiba PABAS176 Battery, Toshiba Dynabook SS Battery, Toshiba Portege A600 Battery, Toshiba Portege R500 Battery, Toshiba Portege R600 Battery, Toshiba PA2451URN Battery, Toshiba PA3062U-1BAT Battery, Toshiba Tecra 750 Battery, Toshiba Tecra 780 Battery. It measures 340x244x23.8mm and weighs 1.8kg, which for a traditional notebook isn't too bad at all. Plus, despite being thick enough to accommodate an optional DVD R/W drive, it's surprisingly sleek, and there's a lovely matte black finish throughout. This is all on top of a sturdy, rigid build quality, particularly around the lower keyboard segment.
Speaking of the keyboard, it's more than capable for full-time typing. The keys are a bit shallow but spaced well apart, allowing for accurate but quick strokes, and there's enough room for extra Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down and End keys in a column along the far right.
There are plenty of connection options as well: three USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, VGA and HDMI connectors and an Ethernet port. That's a good range for a device of this size, with more than enough space for multiple peripherals or removable storage while allowing for an external display to hook up.
Like Lenovo's ThinkPad series, the Tecra A40-C also includes a little textured mouse nub in the keyboard's centre as an alternative to the trackpad. While it does enable cursor control without moving hands away from the keyboard, it's quite unwieldy without practice, and can be safely ignored if so desired. A much more enticing inclusion is the fingerprint scanner, which sits near the bottom of the chassis, just below and to the right of the trackpad.
We didn't get a chance to test battery life but it's commendable that the Tecra A14 includes a removeable battery while staying reasonably slim; many lightweight notebook keep their batteries integrated, making them impossible to quickly replace if they run dry. The Tecra A14, on the other hand, can be kept going with a spare pack.
Display
The 14in display runs at 1920x1080, with a pixel density of 162ppi. That means decent, if unspectacular, clarity - there can be fuzziness around small text and images, but we had to actively search for it before noticing.
Colours, on the other hand, are spot-on; balanced without looking dull, vibrant without looking garish. They aren't compromised by the anti-glare coating, either. Some devices, like the HP ProBook 455 Ubuntu, use coatings which add a mildly distorting, grainy effect to the display, but the Tecra A14 successfully avoids this while minimises reflectivity.

Operating system and software

Operating system and software
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
The Tecra A40-C will launch with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed, or with Windows 7 Pro pre-installed plus upgrade media for Windows 10 Pro included in the box.
Our particular demo model was running Windows 10 Pro, which, if at all possible to fit into existing IT environments, we'd sooner recommend. Besides being due for more frequent content, security and performance updates than previous Windows editions, Windows 10 Pro includes useful tools like BitLocker encryption, Universal Apps and the Action Centre - an extremely convenient combination of notifications tray and quick settings menu with battery scuh as Toshiba PA2445UR Battery, Toshiba PA2445U Battery, Toshiba PA3832U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3929U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3930U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS250 Battery, Toshiba Dynabook RX3W Battery, Toshiba Portege R830 Battery, Toshiba Satellite R630 Battery, Toshiba Tecra R840 Battery, Toshiba PABAS112 Battery, Toshiba PA3593U-1BRS Battery. Windows 7 Pro, as long and illustrious as its service has been, has none of these things.
Toshiba has added over a dozen proprietary applications, which is bad news for anyone who likes their Windows clean, but other than a redundant video player, these do lean towards utility rather than frivolity. A good example is HDD Protection, which employs a built-in sensor to detect if the laptop has taken a jolt. If so, it automatically moves the HDD head to a safe position, reducing the risk of it taking damage. Opting for an SSD instead of an HDD makes this addition moot, but it could potentially save a lot of data.
We're seeing more and more enterprise notebooks with integrated fingerprint scanners, including the Tecra A40-C, and that's entirely a good thing. Biometric systems are both more time-efficient and less prone to theft than conventional passwords, making them ideal for business use.
We're also glad that Toshiba opted for the Pro versions of both Windows 7 and Windows 10, which boast additional security features over their Home equivalents. Windows 7 Pro, for instance, supports native filesystem-level encryption and the ability to create, though not enforce, AppLocker policies to determine which applications can and can't run on a company network. Windows 10 Pro, meanwhile, adds the aforementioned BitLocker drive encryption and the Group Policy Management console for IT managers.
We tested a mid-range configuration of the Tecra A40-C, comprised of a 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor from Intel's latest Skylake family and 8GB of RAM. Models with beefier Core i7 chips will also be available.
That i5 still produced some nimble performance, though, with the generous RAM allowance maintaining responsiveness when multitasking. We didn't get the chance to run benchmarks or try truly punishing tasks like photo or video editing, but the speed with which the Tecra A40-C opened programmes and ran straightforward tasks like text editing gave us confidence in its general office work capabilities.
Toshiba claims that the Tecra A40-C will last for up to eight hours off a single charge. Since manufacturer estimates are almost always on the optimistic side, that means it probably won't last a full work day without charging, which is a shame - though to be fair, we've used notebooks which conk out before half a day, let alone a whole one.
The choice of storage options is pretty good as well. SSDs max out at 256GB, but forgoing their speeds in favour of a larger HDD allows for up to 1TB of internal storage.
It's clear that Toshiba has built a highly respectable, well-featured business laptop, and one which is especially suitable for users who prefer larger screens but don't necessarily want to deal with the bulk of a 15in or 17in device.
Being able to squeeze multiple ports, a removeable battery and even a DVD drive into this form factor is impressive, and we're hoping that the Tecra A40-C's performance and battery life do the design justice in everyday use.

Toshiba Tecra A40-C review

Toshiba Tecra A40-C review
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba's Tecra line of laptops has long offered a selection of reliable, if unexciting, business notebooks.
The new Tecra A40-C, then, could probably have gotten away with being more of the same. However, with a feature-packed, enterprise-friendly design and a new Intel Skylake processor, this machine - a rare addition to Toshiba's under-represented 14in lineup - was quick to grab our attention. Although this latest Tecra won't be out to buy until early 2016, and pricing has yet to be revealed, we got a sneak preview.
Besides some chunky bezels around the screen, we're quite fond of the Tecra A40-C's looks with battery like Toshiba PA3594U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3595U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3595U-1BRM Battery, Toshiba Satellite U300 Battery, Toshiba Tecra M8 Battery, Toshiba PA3615U-1BRM Battery, Toshiba PA3615U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PABAS115 Battery, Toshiba PA3589U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3609U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Qosmio F45 Battery, Toshiba PABAS106 Battery. It measures 340x244x23.8mm and weighs 1.8kg, which for a traditional notebook isn't too bad at all. Plus, despite being thick enough to accommodate an optional DVD R/W drive, it's surprisingly sleek, and there's a lovely matte black finish throughout. This is all on top of a sturdy, rigid build quality, particularly around the lower keyboard segment.
Speaking of the keyboard, it's more than capable for full-time typing. The keys are a bit shallow but spaced well apart, allowing for accurate but quick strokes, and there's enough room for extra Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down and End keys in a column along the far right.
There are plenty of connection options as well: three USB 3.0 ports, an SD card reader, VGA and HDMI connectors and an Ethernet port. That's a good range for a device of this size, with more than enough space for multiple peripherals or removable storage while allowing for an external display to hook up.
Like Lenovo's ThinkPad series, the Tecra A40-C also includes a little textured mouse nub in the keyboard's centre as an alternative to the trackpad. While it does enable cursor control without moving hands away from the keyboard, it's quite unwieldy without practice, and can be safely ignored if so desired. A much more enticing inclusion is the fingerprint scanner, which sits near the bottom of the chassis, just below and to the right of the trackpad.
