COMMON PROBLEMS WITH LAPTOP DISPLAYS

A lot of people are forced to buy new laptops because of broken or damaged displays. In this article we will examine the most common problems with laptop displays.

Dead Pixels
Dead pixels are a common problem with laptop displays. Actually this is the first thing you need to check when you get a new laptop. Power up your laptop and look for tiny white dots in the display. You don’t have to open any applications. Actually a desktop image or a window with a plain solid color will make it easier to spot white dots. Contact your service department even if you see just one or two white dots.

Loose hinges
If you notice that the hinges that hold the display in place are loose, you need to take the laptop to the authorized service center. Loose hinges can cause the display to slam down on the desk. This may even break the display.

Gap in the casing
There should be no gaps in the casing surrounding your display. If there are gaps it will cause dirt and other particles to get in behind the display. This is not a problem you can repair yourself. So take the laptop to the authorized service center.

Cracked bezel
The bezel (the casing of the laptop that surrounds the display) may develop cracks due to rough treatment of the laptop. This, for instance, can happen if you accidentally drop the laptop. To avoid such situations, carry your laptop in a properly sized and well padded laptop bag. Place the laptop only on firm and even surfaces.

CARE FOR YOUR LAPTOP IN HOT HUMID WEATHER

Your laptop needs special care in hot and warm weather. Most laptops work properly at temperatures ranging from 10 to 35 degrees Celsius.

If you need to bring in your laptop from the warm hot air to a cooler place, allow it enough time to cool down to the temperature inside before you use it. Similarly if you need to use your laptop outdoors, let it warm up to the outside temperature.

Don’t leave your laptop behind in a car in hot weather. The internal parts of your laptop and its external casing will get damaged in hot temperatures. Humidity is another culprit. It causes damage to the internal components of your laptop and you may not even realize that.

Do not expose your laptop to harsh sunlight. If you must use your laptop outside in bright sunlight you must use a laptop glare screen or a laptop hood.

While traveling don’t forget to carry equipments like surge protectors, power inverters and spare batteries with you. In storms and other unfavorable weather conditions you cannot fully rely on grid power.

Invest in a laptop stand that helps disperse the heat your laptop generates. Different kinds of laptop stands are available. Some even include fans.

Use a well-padded laptop case to keep it insulated from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Your laptop case should have enough room to keep all of your mobile gear.

QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TO ANSWER ON HOW TO PICK THE BEST LAPTOP FOR YOU

With everyone feeling the ill effects of the reverse growth of global economies worldwide, it seems that it is no longer feasible (or in some cases, possible) to buy portable computers. When monthly budgets are stretched out of proportion to stay afloat, is it still wise to invest in a second computer, one that is portable?

Market slowdown

Every part of the international market is experiencing a slowdown, including notebook sales. Back in the nineties, people knew that a notebook was a nice investment. After acquiring a good personal computer (note: tower or mini tower CPU) people wanted to have a portable one, too.

The slowdown came palpably last year with the credit crunch. What’s keeping things steady, at least for now? Netbooks. Netbooks, the notebook’s miniature version, is literally saving the notebook industry by providing a sustainable niche that people still find interesting and worth their money.

If you plan to invest in a new notebook, on the other hand, it’s important to first establish what you need.

What are you?

The first kind of consumer is firmly attached to his portable computer- this person is always on the go, and rarely leaves his notebook at home. In his machine, he stores his ledgers, his Microsoft Excel documents, memos, important emails and vital documents. He needs them to be right there when the need arises. Not having them when theres a need means he might lose his job, or worse, his face in front of his bosses.
You need to check hard disk size.

The second type of consumer needs a very portable and possibly very light computer for the daily commute. He needs flexibility, high storage space and features for the person on the go.
You need to compare the weight.

The third type of consumer needs power in his portable computer. He wants to watch DVDs and Bluray movies, and he wants to play games while surfing the Web at high speed.
You need to check DVD drive availability

After determining what kind of consumer you are, it’s time to pick what kind of operating system you might need.

OS X, Windows or Linux?
There are basic choices for your operating system: you have of course, the popular line of Windows (from Windows 3.1 to Windows Longhorn), OS X (expensive) and of course, open-source, always free (not really) Linux.

Pick OS X if you want to use Macintosh computers; it’s that simple. Macs are pricier than generic assemblies that use the Windows platform; also, if you’ve been using Windows for the longest time, re-learning another operating system might be difficult for some.

How about Linux? Choose Linux if:

1. You have no budget for an OS.
2. You believe in the goodwill of mankind (a.k.a. open-source technologies)

The most popular for home use right now is Linux Ubuntu, which also has several other versions for businesses and programming. Linux has been around for the longest time, and is the choice of many institutions that don’t have the budget to renew software for a hundred machines on a seasonal basis.

If you want Linux, you won’t be having any difficulties as all three operating systems share many “similar” functions. Remember though, that OS X does not suffer from viruses or trojans.

HISTORY WALKS OF THE LAPTOP

1984: Compaq Portable weighing at 28 lbs
Coming in at a monstrous 28 lbs, the Compaq Portable acquires an A+ for ground-breaking, but gets an F- for the heaviness category. The computer was also fairly substantial and when folded was about the identical size as a transportable sewing contraption. Compaq was talented to sell a testimony setting 53,000 of these iron giants at the precipitous price of US$3,590. When the features of the transportable are compared to the customary modern day notebook, it’s like comparing a paper airplane to a surreptitiousness bomber. The system swanked a minute 128 kilobytes of memory and two 5.25" floppy disk drives. The exclusive CGA video card enabled the 9x14 pixel disposition cells to engender phrasing on the built-in 9" green display monitor. The Compaq Portable’s strapping suits embrace spreadsheet capabilities.

1990: Macintosh Portable (15.8 Lbs)
The Macintosh transportable was apples 1st endeavor at generating a portable PC with Macintosh desktop possibilities. The Mac Portable pounded 15.8 pounds, due to the bulky lead-acid batteries utilized to power the unit and its captures are nothing extravagant either. The transportable had a 16 MHz CPU and 1 Mb of Ram, which was stretchy up to 9 Mb. The Apple “luggable” was reasonably costly with a price of $6,500; on the other hand the luxury of a full voyage keyboard, and battery life was up to 12 hours didn’t give credence to ridiculous cost.

SAMSUNG Q310 34P LAPTOP FIRST LOOK

11-16-08-samsung_q310-34p Samsung has not had a branded laptop in the states (though they were responsible for a Dell ultra portable). That being said the company decided to get its feet wet (so to speak) with its new ultra-portable system.

While initial results do not look shabby (to say the least) I will advise you that this is not a deal breaker. The Q310-34P is packed with a 13-3 inch screen which weighs just under 5 pounds (4.8 to be exact), along with the usual USB 2.0 port, 8X optical drive (sorry no BD), headphones and microphone jack and yes a VGA and HDMI port. You also get a 7 in 1 memory card reader.

While the design is pretty clean and crisp (nothing extravagant) you should be aware that the stacked USB ports might cause a small problem when multiple devices are in use.

The display is OK, and video playback is pretty clean. As for performance its pretty speedy with Vista booting in under 50 seconds thanks to a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Wi-Fi and battery life are pretty solid. Although this is an ultra-portable it does have a 6 cell battery that is tested to go for 4 hours and 40 minutes. Wi-Fi reception is also pretty good and yes you will be able to watch Hulu and Netflix (streaming) on your notebook.

All in all Samsungs first attempt to break the ice in the US markets has been a success. Not a resounding success but a solid play against the competition. All is need is is for you to fork over $1200 for this baby.
