Some Tips to Guarantee Notebook useful life

dell-xcps-m2



While Notebooks are gradually tending to replace desktop computers, it is necessary to know some tips on how to make them have a longer life.


Unlike the desktop PC, the Notebook has been designed to work and move in it the information we need out of our fields of work or residence. In other words, we must never forget that this is a laptop and thus preserve battery life when we are traveling or working outside, is essential. The notebooks with screens 14 "and more generally bring 6-cell Dell inspiron 1520 battery which should give a range of 3 to 4 hours. The apparatus.


While some Netbooks come with 3-cell batteries whose autonomy is obviously inferior. We clarify also that there is also Netbooks with 6-cell HP 510 battery which, incidentally, are the most recommended. But ... back to autonomy, certainly many people have noticed that the initial 3 or 4 hours during which they could use their notebooks without recharging, suddenly had to start charging every 2 hours or every hour and a half, right? Well, this is because we forget that this is a portable device and use it, like a PC desk, constantly connected to electricity, which is not bad enough, what we do is harmful is to keep the battery in the notebook while we have connected to electricity.


Go here then the first tip: When using the Notebook or Netbook connected to electricity, we must always remove the Dell XPS M1330 battery . The latter only place where we know that we use on a site which have no place to plug. As in the cell, rechargeable batteries or digital camera batteries, the charge should be made only when it is practically exhausted. Constant load, such as that done in the notebook-battery fitted, being connected to electricity, very quickly shortens the battery life to minimize life.


The paradox of the notebooks we use as if they were desktop computers, is that we turn on laptops when taking them to bed. Hence, given the need and desire, after a long and exhausting day, to throw us comfortable and keep working or enjoying a game, as we see is settled in bed, on a quilt, blanket, etc '. And behold, when we cause, without knowing it, another problem: Parts of a desktop computer are assembled in a cabinet that also depend on our thoroughness and good advice, ensure good ventilation and cooling of the same, ensuring , a longer life of our PC. Instead of a Dell XPS M1530 battery Notebook parts are assembled in a very limited and where do you ventilate? Precisely because the base is the support we are comfortably on our plush comforters.


And ... it is the second tip: If we are to take Dell latitude d630 battery to bed, we must always do so on a clean flat surface, a bedside table, a tray, but never, ever, on a bed cover, blanket, etc '. This prevents two problems: the excessive heating of the device due to lack of adequate ventilation and the consequent possibility that we burn some of its parts. This also prevented from entering the unit hair, lint and such little things that once accumulated in the interior, in a certain period of time, may even lead to burn us a microprocessor or any other party.


And ending, a third tip is to make periodic internal cleansing, obviously, at the hands of serious technical and specialized. Ideally, make a six, seven months, to avoid the dust, lint and hair that are introduced without we notice, shorten the life of it.


Despite these precautions, together with such care as to avoid the HP pavilion dv5 battery blows, support them and the famous things over spilled coffee, mate or water if uncertainties occur, but ... for now, with the three tips outlined above, avoid-at least more time-have to keep changing parts, of course, are not economic and not to mention the device itself.

10 **Better** cheap and easy upgrades for your old PC

In response to a submission on digg.com entitled “10 cheap and easy upgrades for your old PC”, user gaqua posted a “better” list in the comments that I found funny enough to want to give it its own post on my meaningless blog.


Here's a better list.


1 - Clean up your shit, dad. I'm tired of coming over and finding a new toolbar on IE or Firefox every time. I'm tired of thirty icons in the systray, half of which have some bizarre relevance to programs that are no longer installed. Go to add/remove programs, and remove anything you don't use in your Apple PowerBook G4 Battery.


2 - Defrag that shit. 74% fragmented. SERIOUSLY? How is that even possible? I'm scheduling this for every Wednesday night at 10pm dad. I know it's going to freak you out when it starts doing this all on its own but just leave it alone and let it do its magic.


3 - 512MB of RAM? Do you know how cheap RAM of Sony VGP-BPS2C is? PC2700 DDR1? Oh my God…I think I might throw up. For $50 I can get you to 2GB of RAM. $50.


4 - I'm installing Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy - your system has over 200 known spyware problems. I'm fixing them. I'm making this VGP-BPS9/B bulletproof. Don't fuck with it anymore. I'm installing AVG anti-virus. It's going to ask you to update it - UPDATE IT WHEN IT ASKS.


5 - Holy shit I can't believe this - you're running XP without even SP1 installed. I'm installing SP3 for Dell inspiron 1545 battery, Dad. It's a lot more secure. Jesus christ this is like the dark ages of computing.


6 - Oh fucking shit - 3 hours to download? What the fuck - you're still on that 512k DSL? Mom is paying for Cable! She's paying for Cable internet, Dad. I'm going to unplug this wire from the DSL modem and plug it into the cable modem Yeah. No it's very easy. And I'm calling AT&T and canceling DSL. There, I just saved you $50 a month. And yeah, the internet is faster.


7 - Oh look , you have a cutesy animated desktop background. Yeah, your celeron 1.6 GHz probably doesn't like that, especially with the 16MB integrated graphics. I'm going to turn that off. I know, I know. But it's best for everyone.


HOLY SHIT YOUR COMPUTER IS FASTER NOW DAD. Please, tell everyone in the family that you “don't know what he did but the computer is so much better, you should call him and have him come take a look, I'm sure he'd be happy to Vostro 1510 battery !”


There's nothing I love more than that, dad. I love fixing Uncle Butch's disgusting laptop with the inexplicably stained keys and I love playing around with the disgusting beige eMachine that Aunt Patsy uses to send all those cool inspirational email forwards with pictures of kittens or penguins or koalas or pandas.


No, I understand. As the oldest and most computer knowledgeable of Dell Latitude D420 Battery , it's my responsibility. Just like Uncle Mason would help us all out if we got into legal trouble right? Well, if he weren't disbarred for fraud, I mean.
