This is the confusing part whenever a newbie approaches me for advice on getting a new notebook.

Though most of you understand the difference between a Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Office, there are still a minority which still finds this rather misleading.

How come?

I was approached recently by a friend of mine who wanted to buy a new Dell Inspirion notebook computer. As per normal, he asked me for my opinions on the notebook and other technical stuffs like battery life, etc.

But what surprised me is that, he keep mentioning MS Excel, Words and Powerpoint when I looked at the bundled offer there isn’t any. Microsoft Works was not even in the bundled!

After a while I understand that he was confused about the Windows and Office products.

Seems both are products by Microsoft, there are a few users whom may think it is always a bundled.

Microsoft has separated Windows (Operating System) and Office (document, spreadsheet and presentation) and this ain’t something new.

I believed Dell might have include a 30 day trial in the package, though it is not written in the newspaper article showed to me by my friend.

Anyway for new users out there whom might still be getting a new notebook for the coming new year always remember that Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office are two different products completely.

Your notebook computer manufacturer will always (most of the time) bundled you with the operating system but not necessarily the Office applications software.

But if you want a free and open source version of Office, you can always download OpenOffice.org .

When you hop around any computer stores this coming weekend, you will see the great graphic displays on the notebook computer these days that weren’t there yet a few years ago.

Now with the technology of XGA (Crystal Graphics Adapter), users can experience clear and sharp images from their notebooks.

Not at my time ….. when I purchased my first notebook ….. the Twinhead Efio 12KT.

It is built on TFT LCD (64 Mb Shared) which is not color rich as the current XGA screens.

One thing to note that some these XGA graphics require more shared RAM.

What does these means to the average users?

Hi guys ….. I’ve been out for a while (2 weeks to be exact) performing some “National Duty” thing; which explains why I’ve not been updating my blog, making comments at Blog Catalog and MyBlogLog, etc.

And since I’m back (so very gratefully ……. can you imagine 2 weeks without internet access and even a pc for me to get my hands on….sigh…), I’ll be doing a second part to my Laptop Essential Series which is pertaining the in-built wireless adapter.

The wireless adapter in our notebook today are almost a must have item in this fine electronic box.

Back then, about 5 years ago ….. you’ll need an external adapter to wireless -ly connected to the Internet.

Some might have in-built already but those may only support the B- networks which has a data transfer rate of 11 Mbits/s and it is quite costly during those days.

With the majority of networks now supporting G networks …. data transfer rate of 54 Mbits/s, you can see the difference in speed right there.

Now with the up and coming N networks already in the scene; promises a dramatic transfer rate of 248 Mbits/s, you can see how important a wireless adapter can be an essential part of your notebook computer.

One important factor you need to know when using wireless…….. you need to know your specs of wireless adapter and what it can supports..

For easier understanding ….. if your wireless adapter is and 802.11b/g, this means it can capture wireless signals coming in from B and G networks wireless routers only.

With that in mind, you will now have a clear understanding on your in-built notebook wireless adapter signal receiving transmission.

Next, the in-built wireless adapter provides lots of conveniences to users……. Why?

Users, like you and me, need not have to think about bringing along a USB wireless adapter or even a PCMCIA card which can be misplaced or damaged easily if not taken care or in a proper manner.

It is in-built…. so convenient, not much headache whatsoever.

Like if you need to video chat in a wireless hotspot area; with the in-built webcam (which is covered in my previous Laptop Essential Series post) and the in-built Wifi ….. coupled with the softwares of today like Skype, QQ, Windows Live plus many others out there …. you are ready to go without the hassle of thinking about cables and others.

When you think about the convieniences of today’s notebooks, well you could imagine what is life back during the 286 laptop days!

We all know that Google is the best search engine in the market today but sometimes when it come to narrowing the items you really want can be a pain.

I personally use Google and I still believe that it is still the best till I meet “SortFix“.

What is actually “SortFix“?

Well I personally believe everyone will and still use Google…. it’s the recommended and best Internet engine out there.

But if you really want to focus on narrowing down your search item, I recommend you use “SortFix”

The next question has always been “Why SortFix“?
