Battery Pavillion
Last year’s massive recall was a major embarrassment for Sony at a time when it has been reviving profits and boosting its image
This one’s a coin toss between Dell and HP. Heads, you get HP’s slightly larger and lush-looking (but, at 2.5kg, a deal heavier) Pavillion Verve, which is perfect for entertainment on the move. Tails, it’s the XPS M1330 for what’s easily the fastest yet slimmest sub-note we’ve ever seen. Given that both “slim and light” notebooks sell for $1899, you can’t lose either way.
One of the first people to come up with the idea of very cheap laptops was Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder and director of the MIT Media Laboratory. In 2002, Negroponte launched his idea of a $US100 laptop designed specifically for the world’s poorest children. The ambitious project aimed to manufacture child-oriented laptop computers that are resistant to dust and moisture, can be operated in sunlight and be powered by hand.
This week she is trying to write a Personal Immigration Story on it for a class assignment, and she says she is especially pleased with the “small keyboard with really squishy keys that are fun to type on.” The battery, she notes, lasts all day, but she’s having trouble printing the paper.
“We’re a minority, but a growing minority,” Reinhold said of Macintosh users, who represent about ten percent of total computer ownership.
The criticisms centred on the lack of a DVD drive, missing Ethernet networking port, relatively small 80GB hard drive and the inability to swap the HP DV600 battery.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has logged dozens of reports of the problem lithium-ion HP laptop batteries overheating.
Laptops are generally pokey gaming platforms, since they lack the high-powered chips needed to calculate realistic 3-D environments. Alienware’s m9750 laptop busts that limitation, at least if you have the cash. It has a 17-inch screen and can be fitted with dual graphics cards and dual hard drives. All this power means it only lasts 1 1/2 hours on battery, so don’t picture yourself gaming on a cross-country flight. And if you’re the kind of gamer who likes to trick out your rig, there may be reason to wait. The m9750 looks surprisingly sedate, while Alienware (now a Dell Inc. subsidiary) has some cooler designs coming out next year that use LEDs in the decor to light up the laptop in unexpected ways. (MSRP: $3449 (euro2,337) in recommended gaming configuration)
Also welcome is the flexible battery system that lets you pair a main “extended life” battery with a second modular battery in place of the CD-DVD drive to get 10 hours on a single charge. On its own the standard HP laptop battery is good for about 31/2 hours of solid use.
The gPC stands out from the crowd like a man wearing sandals at cocktail party _ it’s cheap and it’s different. It’s a simple desktop computer that eschews Windows in favour of Linux, the alternative operating system that’s widely used by information technology professionals but has struggled for years to gain acceptance in desktops. The gPC is the first Linux computer to be sold in Wal-Mart stores (though only some of them), giving Linux another shot at the mainstream. It’s designed to be easy to use and focuses on Google’s Web services like Gmail and YouTube. But like some earlier Linux computers, it uncomfortably straddles two worlds: it’s a low-end box for computer novices, yet considerable expertise is needed to get the most out of the software.
It would be fairer to compare the X300 with Apple’s MacBook Pro series or, indeed, any full-featured Windows laptop. But even then X300 throws a curve ball because it’s rare to find such a no-compromise notebook with the X300′s 34cm screen, its 1.3kg weight and a profile that gently tapers from 23mm to 19mm.
Last year’s massive recall was a major embarrassment for Sony at a time when it has been reviving profits and boosting its image. Tokyo-based Sony has said improvements in production, design and inspection have been made to prevent a recurrence of any laptop overheating problems.
Wozniak agreed with those criticisms, saying: “I don’t think it’s going to be a hit.” He said he liked to burn a lot of DVDs for friends and watched movies on planes, and so needed the ability to swap batteries mid-flight.
“Just wait until somebody with a MacBook Air walks into a meeting room where people are working on some clunky PC laptops. That should get even more folks thinking of switching.”
While Rebecca was gaining some affinity for her OLPC, my son Raymond was getting to know the Classmate PC, which run $230 to $300. The rugged blue cover proved to be tough enough for the daily bike commute to school. The magnetic snap, which I thought looked flimsy and therefore doomed, showed no sign of wear despite weeks of constant opening and closing.
Most of those aims have now been met although the price tag has come in at about $US200 ($215) a unit. The laptop is called the XO. It runs on flash memory, which drastically reduces power consumption, and a version of the open-source Linux operating system.
