Laptop Cordless Mouse : A Good Invesment?
Well being a tech geeky, I’ve been changing my gears quite a lot recently and I believed on of my well-spent investment is the cordless mouse.
Why?
I was at an Internet community gathering yesterday and I was observing the rest of my friends out there with their ultra powerful notebook computers and sadly enough their ultra-long wired corded mice.
You’ve might think I’m looking down on them ……
Seriously that’s not the case.
Let me explain………
Laptop Screen : Does Size Matters?
When getting yourself a new notebook, i saw a lot of users blinded by the features, cost and looks of a notebook computer.
Who doesn’t ?
Its utterly normal when you go to the shopping mall or any electronics trade fairs that the first things the sales people will show you are the features, the cost and the looks.
But what about the size?
I’ll be very frank to tell you that size does matters…
Why?
The bigger the notebook (example a 15.4 widescreen notebook LCD), the heavier it gets.
Unless you using the notebook computer as a desktop replacement which will remain at one location at your home …. then a 15.4 or a 17 inch notebook will suit you fine.
Imagine going to one place to another carrying a 17 inch notebook computer on your shoulders! Damn!
So remember….. size does matters when you buy a notebook. Till next time folks …… Rock Forever…….
Laptop Battery Safety
As most of you recalled, I previously posted an article on my blog entitled Laptop Batteries: How To Make It Work Longer.
Well that article is currently one of the finalists in a “how to” contest held by [GAS] - GeeksAreSexy.net
The notebook computer is a delicate instrument and heat has been a major factor in any computer or electronic products.
I recently saw a video which really caught my eye on the safety on using the notebook computer.
Watch and learn.
Always keep the notebook usage in a cool environment and remember (just like the same message relay to all Wrestling maniacs out there) …. PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
Anyway guys … enjoy the video.
Laptop Essential Series : The In-Built Webcam
I’ll be doing a couple of essential series on the notebook computers these days.
Now things are getting more sophisticated and very advanced indeed. What we see now are things on the notebook that weren’t there a few years ago ….. the in-built webcam is a very fine example.
The users these days are blessed with the greatest technology; me so envy sometimes.
Now notebook makers like Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer and many others have already intergrated the webcam as part of the notebook features.
With software support features like “Image Security” (you can use your face to lock or unlock the notebook) available in bundle now, users have the luxury of having great usage features not to mentioned security as well.
Then again, why the camera is built in?
Good question…….
