Netbook VS Notebook Computer

  A new breed of portable computers were introduced in the form of netbooks. Life used to be simple when there were just desktop computers or laptop computers to choose from. Now you have to choose between desktops, notebooks and netbooks. From the mammoth main frame computers that took up four story buildings, computers have undergone progressive miniaturization and today we have netbooks, which are one of the smallest computers ever developed. In this article, you will find a netbook vs notebook comparison that may help you in making up your mind about whether to go for a netbook or a notebook computer.

Difference Between Netbook and Notebook
Netbooks are lightweight and fast mini-computers that are fast cutting through the laptop computer market share. Notebooks or laptops are your quintessential portable computers, which provide all the features of a desktop computer with the added luxury of portability. Let us compare netbook and notebooks, according to design considerations and utility factors.

Size, Weight and Battery Life

Netbooks are a lot more lighter and smaller than notebooks, which is a big advantage for users who are tired of carrying heavy laptop bags. With a screen size of up to or less than 11″ and a weight lesser than half the weight of a 17″ laptop, netbooks are easier to carry.
Netbooks have an edge over a laptop when it comes to battery life, which is substantially longer for a netbook as compared to a notebook. Low power consumption due to absence of an optical drive and a smaller screen, contribute to an increased battery life. To sum up, when it comes to size, weight and battery life comparison, netbook is the clear winner in the notebook vs netbook debate.

 Speed & Functionality
Netbook is basically designed for net based applications and therefore it has a processor with a comparatively low clocking speed, compared to a notebook. The RAM offered in a netbook is therefore lower than that offered in a notebook. It is not designed for multitasking but for Internet browsing and basic data processing. Hard drive space offered by netbooks is substantial (close to 160 GB) which makes them excellent data storage devices too.

If one plans to use multimedia to watch movies and play games, netbook is not the portable computer you are looking for. It is ill equipped for such applications. It is designed for net based applications like browsing, email and spreadsheet calculations. They are excellent computers for learning purposes in schools and colleges, but they are not your complete computing solution. When it comes to speed and multitasking, a notebook computer is a hands down winner.

Price
If you have a look at netbook costs, you will find that they cost less than half of high end notebooks. The cost factor is a major USP for netbooks and that has made it popular among users who need basic computing power. People who need a no frills basic computing machine, will opt for a netbook over a notebook.

Verdict
Netbooks cannot be used as a substitute for notebooks, but as an added accessory. A netbook with a high battery life comes in handy, when you are on the move and just need internet connectivity for work, without any high multitasking demands. It is an ultra portable device compared to a notebook.

It is ideal for students in school and high schools as study aids. A netbook is computing power, stripped down to its bare essentials, offered at a very economical price. For high multitasking demands, gaming and high end computing power, notebooks remain the ultimate choice.

Hope this netbook vs notebook comparison has left you in no doubt about which will be the best choice for you. If you let your functionality needs dictate the choice rather than fancy, your job of choosing one from a netbook or a notebook is simpler.

How to maintain the battery Laptop


 There are many ways to take care of the laptop. One that we often encounter and even almost all laptop users often complain about the battery problem. Some say quickly drains  or drop. On this occasion I want to share tips on how to take care of the laptop battery.

1.
 Do not store the laptop in bed / carpet / sofa. Laptops need air circulation because he was a hot issue. If we keep on the bed, the heat will not come out.

2.
 Use a cooling pad. Cooling pad can help reduce the temperature of a hot laptop. Try to find the direction the wind is blowing from the bottom up, so the wind does not head down.

3.
 Laptops today are sophisticated. So, if for example again until fully charged, he would break the flow by itself. So you do no need to unplug the adapter.

4.
 If the laptop is not used in a long time (example: a week) laptop battery should be kept alone. Store in a plastic dry, then store in a cool place. It's Very nice if you also save some silica gel to prevent moisture.

5.
 Do not store laptop or a laptop battery in a car exposed to the sun. This can affect the performance of the laptop.

6.
 Calibrate laptop battery at least once a month. The way you do the calibration is to use the laptop battery until about the remaining 10-15%, then charge until full. This will move all the cells in the battery, so it always excellent condition.
7.
 Battery or laptops do not get hit much less fall. Do not also be saved / weighted down with heavy objects, because it will be vulnerable to short-circuit / short circuit, causing overheating.

8.
 Avoid contact with water. Know your own risk. Although it will be dried and used again, mildew and corrosion will eat away at the battery itself physically.

9.
 Always use original battery and charger. Of the original is more guaranteed quality?

10.
 If longer use the laptop without the battery, keep the voltage stable electricity in our homes. The trick is to use a stabilizer. If no stabilizer, preferably replacing it wrote. Battery life is not worth the price of laptop damage! Better to use UPS, so when a sudden power failure, the laptop is still alive and we still had time to shutdown.

11.
 If the laptop is often on-off, should not be turned off, better sleep mode only. Because the power needed to light up when the laptop is lower than the first time turn on the laptop.

12.
 Use the power management control panel. Set brightness below 50%, do not use weird screen saver, and use the blank as the most economical power, set the time not too long. Set also the maximum power position.

Please use your laptop wisely, so you enjoy your time with your laptop.

Ultrabook

Image: zdnet.com
Are you the person who is not interested in changing from laptop to Tablet PC users? Although it has so many outstanding brands of Tablet PCs in the computer market in various malls and online store, but not everyone feels comfortable using it. You may also not like the netbook because the ability and speed is not as fast as a laptop. Now you do not need to worry because you can switch from a thick laptop to a new gadget called the Ultrabook.
      What are your imagination and what you would get from Ultrabook, which is said to be a serious rival of Apple products, McBook Air.
   In the market you will find Ultrabook from Sony, Acer, Asus, Fujitsu and many other well known manufacturers of low-cost Ultrabook from China or Taiwan.

Image: digitaltrends.com
Thin, lightweight, small and powerful; that picture of an Ultrabook. Although the current price ultrabook not cheap, new genres like the McBook Air Apple Inc. This turned out to get a warm welcome. Not a few people are interested in the very thin dimension with light weight. 

Moreover, the benefits are felt more complete with a pretty good performance too. Are you interested in? There are several things to consider if you want to choose an ultrabook.

Appearance
 This is the first time you noticed a product. An ultrabook is your loyal friend. These objects are designed in such a way as to present and perform at your side. Where ever you go whether it's at a restaurant, café, or at the board room table, in front of important clients. 

Image: notebook.pconline.com.cn
Ultrabook designed for comfortable use. Dimensions are thin, light weight and instant-on feature is its flagship. However, make sure that you are completely comfortable. Is instant-on function working properly? Is the screen big enough?
    Hold and try before you buy is important. Is the keyboard and touchpad is comfortable to navigate? Is it comfortable to operate Ultrabook? Is easy to handle, or put in a bag? Remember, once again, a convenient ultrabook are appropriately used.

Performance
This one does not seem to matter much. Given the ULV Core i5 used in ultrabook able to provide performance similar to Core i5 Arrandale (first generation), this has a higher clock. So, it should be, even ultrabook version i3 can provide high performance.

Capacity vs. Speed
Currently there are two approaches to obtain instant-on. The first approach is to use the SSD only. While the second way is to use the SSD caching. The second way requires a small SSD and HDD large. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the choices you have.
    "Pure" SSD: Of course, this is a good choice in terms of performance and durability. In addition to allowing instant-on, SSD also makes the system performance increased dramatically compared to the use of HDD only. However, the price of 120 GB SSD is very expensive. This will make ultrabook be expensive and storage capacity to be mediocre. Are you willing bartered with a capacity of performance (and still add a little more money)?
   "Hybrid" SSD + HDD: This is the choice of trying to combine the advantages of the two sides (SSD and HDD). The uses of SSD as a cache drive to make the system performance quite significantly higher than the HDD only. Although still below the pure implementation of the SSD, Hybrid system is still able to provide instant-on in very short time. Another advantage is that still use the HDD, the storage capacity remains large (320 GB or more) and still maintained a low price. This is possible because in most cases the size of the SSD to cache only around 20-32 GB drives only.

Battery Life
   All manufacturers will display the rating of battery life. Since ultrabook early version has a target of 5 hours, so the producers were just going to offer a battery life in the range of 5 hours. If anyone can reach over 5 hours, it is an interesting bonus. Note also that each manufacturer will provide a battery life rating is different for different specifications. Example: ultrabook only with SSD will have a rating of battery life a little better.
    Of course, the price will be a consideration. After reviewing the aspects mentioned above, determine which one fits your pocket. There are a few things to remember about the price. Intel has said that the party ultrabook should be offered at a price below USD1.000. Meanwhile, the next statement is ultrabook that today is the first stage. Next year, there will be a second stage ultrabook certainly more sophisticated. And the third phase would be followed quickly. So, our advice, do not buy too expensive, considering ultrabook will soon be upgraded. 
So in terms of price, choose one that still offers superior standards ultrabook but not priced too high.

The Samsung Chromebook Is Packed With Great Security Features

The introduction of the Samsung Chromebook into the marketplace signifies a shift away from the traditional concept of a laptop where the devices itself stores all of the information that you require. This new system acts more like a portal to a remote cloud system which is where you now keep all of your files and applications.

 The obvious concern with such a system is security as you are remotely accessing your information so lets take a look at some of the security features of this exciting new product that will keep you safe from any potential intruders.

The security system in place on the Samsung Chromebook is the very first that has been built from the ground upwards and designed to deal with the common threat of both Malware and viruses. Rather than relying upon a single program to protect your device the unit follows the idea of "strength in depth". What this basically means is that there are multiple layers of security so there is more likelihood of any threat being caught even if it manages to slip through one layer of the system.

These layers include a principle known as sandboxing which ensures every site or application that you visit runs in a secure place known as a Sandbox. Therefore if you happen to stumble across an infected program the threat is contained without it being able to spread to any other area of your device.

The Samsung Chromebook uses the very strictest data encryption to ensure all of you data and material remains safe. Despite your files being stored in the cloud there is some material which can be stored on the device itself. This material includes items such as downloads, cookies and cache files. Any data such as this which is present on your computer is automatically encrypted by special hardware which is tamper resistant which hugely decreases the possibility of unwanted parties accessing your information.

Another example of a security feature present on this model is the verified boot system which automatically scans your computer every time that it is booted. Even if a threat has managed to evade the Sandbox it will be caught the next time the system is started. A hardware backed recovery option is available at the push of a button so if you do encounter problems the system can easily be rolled back to a time when there were no problems present.

It is refreshing to see such a wealth of security measures in place on the new Samsung Chromebook. In this modern day when online threats are so apparent it is reassuring that this new system will keep you protected at all times.
