The ViewPad 7 comes with a protective case; two small plastic tabs compaq presario VGP-BPS9/S cq70 battery allow the tablet to lock into the case. It's a small but welcome feature.

While it runs Android 2.2, the ViewPad 7 Lenovo thinkpad r61 battery only has four home screens, a minor quibble. Still, we like the 3D scrolling when viewing the list of installed apps, and it's a simple matter to place a shortcut or widget on the screen.

With the exception of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, VGP-BPS9A/B most Andoid tablets we've tested have been marred by poor design, a lack Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery of apps, lackluster performance, or all of the above. The Viewsonic ViewPad 7 ($459 starting in mid-December) is a cut above those Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad T410 Battery also-rans. This device not only looks attractive, it has full access to the Android Market, lasts more than 7 hours on a Lenovo thinkpad t500 battery charge, and can even be used to make calls--when you plug in a SIM card. However, compared to Samsung's slate, you'll have to make some sacrifices. Is the ViewPad 7 worth it or should you just spring for the Tab Lenovo thinkpad t61 VGP-BPS9/B battery or iPad?

Editor's note: We've updated this review as of November 23, to reflect further 3G testing Lenovo VGP-BPS9 thinkpad t60 battery and additional information Viewsonic made available about video chat capabilities and Swype.

Editor's Note:Portions of this review were taken from our other Galaxy compaq presario cq61 battery Tab reviews.

Design
The Galaxy Tab's premium design stands out in contrast VGP-BPS13 to compaq presario cq60 battery bargain-basement slates such as the CherryPad CherryPal. The glossy all-black front has a premium feel with four light-up capacitive touch HP ProBook 4520S Battery buttons for Home, Back, Settings, and Search. Unlike the Sprint Galaxy Tab, which has an all-white back, and the Verzion Galaxy Tab, which has a textured black surface, the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab has a specked-black back, which is not quite as attractive VGP-BPS13A/B HP EliteBook 2730P Battery as the Verizon version.

Design
While many tablets have been likened to oversized iPhones, the ViewPad 7 dell latitude e5500 battery laptop battery probably comes the closest to imitating Apple's design. But is that a good thing? Like the iPhone 4, both the front and back of the ViewPad 7 are dell latitude e6400 battery glossy black, and the edges are bordered in a silvery plastic. While the overall look is somewhat sleek, it picks up and shows fingerprints fairly easily.

While the ViewPad 7 has a 7-inch screen, its resolution Sony Laptop Battery (800 x 480) is significantly lower than the display on the dell latitude e6500 battery Samsung Galaxy Tabs, all of which have resolutions of 1024 x 600. However, the smart phone-like resolution of the ViewPad 7 means that dell latitude e4300 battery Android apps designed for smart phones show up nicely on the device. The capacitive touchscreen was quick and responsive, and we dell vostro 1510 battery were able to execute pinch-to-zoom gestures with ease.

The two speakers on either side of the ViewPad 7's display served up fairly good sound for a tablet. They were Dell inspiron 1545 battery HP/Compaq Laptop Battery plenty loud when watching movies and the like. We could easily hear The Bravery's "An Honest Mistake" from across a medium-size office, and the Dell Inspiron 1440 Battery audio wasn't too tinny at maximum volume.

Overall, the 7.1 x 4.3 x 0.45-inch ViewPad 7 Dell Latitude E5410 Battery is about the same size and weight (13.2 ounces) as the Samsung Galaxy Tabs, but where the Tabs have a slightly rounded underside, the ViewPad 7's is flat, making the edges somewhat sharp, a la the iPhone 4. Still, it's Dell Latitude Dell Laptop Battery E5510 Battery comfortable to hold.

To the right of the display (in landscape mode) are the Android icons: Back, Search, Dell Latitude E6410 Battery Home, and Settings. Home is not the standard icon, which confused us initially. On the two short sides are small speaker grilles; next to one Dell Latitude E6510 Battery of them is the power button. The top of the ViewPad 7 has volume controls, as well as a plastic cover that protects the miniSD card and the SIM card slots. The bottom has a combo Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery mic/headphone jack and a compaq presario cq71 battery miniUSB port.

The ViewPad 7 gives you three keyboards to choose from: a Lenovo thinkpad t60p battery standard QWERTY, a modified QWERTY (two letters per key), and a dial pad-style keyboard; you can swipe to change between them. It was Lenovo thinkpad r60 battery easiest to type using the standard keyboard, although your thumbs have to apple laptop battery reach for the middle keys in landscape mode. The keys on this layout are actually bigger than the Galaxy Tab's, while the latter tablet has more space between the IBM thinkpad r60e battery keys.

You can activate haptics to get physical feedback when you press a key, but we Lenovo thinkpad x60 acer laptop battery battery found that it slowed us down when trying to type fast. Don't bother turning on the keyboard sound; it's laughably loud. You can also turn on a IBM thinkpad X60S battery dictionary that guesses at words while you're typing them, which had fairly good prediction.

At 13.5 ounces and 7.5 x 4.7 x 0.5 inches, the Galaxy dell laptop battery Tab is significantly thinner and lighter HP EliteBook 2530P Battery than the iPad (9.6 x 7.5 x 0.5 inches, 1.5 pounds). While not small enough for most pants pockets, it can slip into a large coat pocket hp elitebook 8730w battery and easily slides into most purses.

A nice feature in the web browser's keyboard is a "www.*.com" button in place of the space bar, which inserts the hp elitebook hp laptop 6930p battery standard beginning and end of a web page address. You just have to remember to hit this button before you type the URL.

A late December firmware update will add a Swype keyboard to the ViewPad hp probook 4515s battery 7, according to Viewsonic.

Right now, Samsung's Galaxy Tab is the main hp probook 4410s battery competitor to ibm laptop battery Apple's iPad in the consumer tablet space. With its gorgeous 7-inch screen, Android Market support, front-facing camera, and mobile hotspot capability, the Tab has a lot going for it. But with the same 3G device available on all four hp probook 4510s battery major U.S. carriers and a Wi-Fi-only version on the way, deciding which version to buy can be a challenge. T-Mobile's version of the device has a few hp probook 4710s battery things going for it: a $399 subsidized price, free mobile hotspot capability, and working video chat. But is sony laptop battery it the right tablet hp elitebook 8730p battery for you?

In a year when the iPad grabbed all the headlines, Dell Laptop Battery notebooks hardly stood still in terms of progress. Intel launched Core processors with a new Turbo Boost feature. Nvidia's Optimus enabled laptops to switch between integrated and discrete graphics automatically. And Apple pushed solid state drives apple Lenovo/IBM Laptop Battery into the mainstream with its instant-on MacBook Airs.

The notebooks that made our Best of the Year list don't just integrate cutting edge technologies. acer dell laptop akku They deliver leading-edge performance and design. After evaluating 140-plus machines in 2010, these are the ones to get

Still, we accidentally hit the wrong key at times, particularly in acer notebook akku portrait mode. We appreciated that @ and .com keys showed up when we typed in an e-mail address field, and that the .com button was present when typing URLs in the dell browser. A welcome optional predictive text feature suggests apple notebook akku words as you type.

With the Swype keyboard option, you can quickly enter text by drawing a continuous line from letter ibm notebook akku to letter, and the software is smart enough to enter spaces between words. Plus, you can easily tap things such as periods and special keys in this mode. It's definitely worth a try.

While it's not as vivid as the AMOLED display on some of Samsung's Galaxy phones, the Galaxy hp elitebook 8540w battery Acer akku Tab's 7-inch screen provides bright, colorful images at a high resolution. As the first Android tablet with a 1024 x 600 screen, the Galaxy Tab provides hp elitebook 8530p battery a lot more screen real estate than any handset. The greater screen space allows you to see more of a web page without scrolling or zooming, hp elitebook 8530w battery and it also allows you to view more detail in photos and videos.

Whether we were watching a standard def AVI, a high-def movie trailer on YouTube, or playing a Dell Latitude D420 Battery racing game, colors were bright and viewing angles wide. However, colors did start to fade at angles of greater than 45 degrees to the Dell xps m1730 battery left or right.

Keyboards
Samsung bundles the Galaxy Tab with two virtual keyboards, its own and one from Swype. Dell xps m1530 battery Because this tablet is narrower than the iPad, we found it much easier to enter text without stretching our fingers all the way across the laptop battery screen.

Unlike the iPad, the Galaxy tab offers haptic feedback so you can get a simulated tactile feel while you're Sony Laptop Battery typing. If you don't like this feature, you can turn it off, but if you love it, you can adjust the level of vibration up or down, something most Android phones HP/Compaq Laptop Battery don't offer.

Above the screen is the laptop's 1.3-megapixel webcam, which can record video at VGP-BPS9/S resolutions of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels. It was sharper than the usual VGA cameras found in low-cost portables, and we observed good image quality on Skype calls--even if colors were a bit muted.

There are a number of technologies for wirelessly outputting your notebook's display to a larger TV, including Intel's WiDi. But WiDi doesn't yet handle copy-protected content, such as Blu-ray movies. And the technology still suffers from VGP-BPS9/B latency, which means no gaming. Enter HP's Wireless TV Connect. This accessory uses a competing technology, called wireless HDMI, to stream anything from your laptop to your big screen without the lag. Is that power and added versatility worth $199?

Design
The Wireless TV Connect consists of two boxes--a transmitter and receiver--one of which hooks up to your notebook, and the VGP-BPS9 other to a TV or projector. Unlike the ASUS WiCast EW2000, which has a smaller transmitter, both boxes are the same size (4.5 x 4.1 x 1) and VGP-BPS9A/B are made of a glossy black plastic. It's a lot more cumbersome than the Warpia StreamHD, which only requires a small USB dongle.

The transmitter has an HDMI port and USB port, while the receiver has HDMI, USB, and a power port. The front of each box has two LEDs: a white one indicates it's on, and a blue light indicates it's connected. Both also have small reset VGP-BPS13 buttons.

The 15.6-inch display (1366 x 768 pixels) on the Aspire 5253 was fine for viewing Hulu or YouTube videos and DVD movies, VGP-BPS13a/b but colors and black levels weren't spectacular. Viewing angles were average, with image quality and brightness dropping off at 40 degrees off-axis.

The laptop's single speaker, located above the keyboard, didn't impress. It pumped out loud but tinny and abrasive sound devoid of any low end.

Ports and Webcam
As you'd expect from a budget notebook, the Aspire 5253 has a standard port spread. Included KaufenAkkus.com are three USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, and headphone and microphone jacks. An SD Card reader sits on the front left side of the machine, while a DVD SuperMulti Drive occupies the right side.

Setting up the HP Wireless TV Connect was Dell Akku easy. Step 1: Plug the transmitter into a PC's HDMI and USB ports. Step 2: Plug the receiver into the TV via HDMI, and the wall plug into the power port. Not only does HP provide all the necessary cables, it even color-codes them. Within a few seconds, the two devices recognized each other. After we opened the Windows Display control panel and changed the settings, our laptop's display was mirrored on our TV. Unlike with the Warpia StreamHD (which uses wireless USB), there's no need to install software of any kind.

Because the Wireless TV Connect essentially acts as a long HDMI cable, we had no problem playing protected content, as we have HP Akku with Intel's Wireless Display technology. (WiDi 2.0 will support DRM content with an upgrade later this spring.)

Of course, like the WiCast, using the Wireless TV Connect means that your HDMI and one of your USB ports is occupied, and the transmitter itself is kind of clunky. Moreover, there's no way to attach it to your notebook's lid. While the same is true for the WiCast, at least ASUS includes little Velcro Sony Akku tabs for you to use. However, both ASUS' transmitter and receiver have fans in them to keep them cool; you can hear them in a quiet room. While HP's device is larger, it has a fanless design.

Flexible Leistung
Käufer, die bei der Notebook-Anschaffung Lenovo Akku auf das Budget achten müssen, können das Dell Inspiron 15R mit einem Intel Pentium Dual Core P6000-Prozessor ausstatten, der eine Taktfrequenz von 1,86 GHz vorlegt. Die Konfiguration des kleinsten Modells wird durch 2.048 MB DDR3-SDRAM und eine SATA-Festplatte mit einer Speicherkapazität von 250 GB vervollständigt. Dell bietet den Rechner aber auch mit einem aktuellen Intel Core-Prozessor an. Hier kommt eine Intel Core i5 450M-CPU mit dell akku einer Taktung von 2,4 GHz zum Einsatz. Analog zum schnelleren Prozessor gibt es mit 4.096 MB Arbeitsspeicher auch mehr RAM und eine Festplatte mit einem apple akku Fassungsvermögen von 320 GB.

Gutes Display
In jedem Fall ist das Dell Inspiron 15R mit einem ibm akku glänzenden 15,6 Zoll großen Display ausgestattet, das über eine energiesparende LED-Hintergrundbeleuchtung verfügt. Unterschiede gibt es bei der Grafikausrüstung: Während das Modell mit dem kleineren Prozessor nur auf die Shared-Memory-Lösung Intel Graphics sony akku Media Accelerator HD zurückgreifen kann, ist das schnellere Inspiron 15R mit einer ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470-Grafikkarte ausgestattet, die über 1.024 MB asus akku dedizierten Videospeicher verfügt. Immerhin bieten beide Rechner einen HDMI-Ausgang für Bild und Ton.

Sichere Mobilität
Mit einem Gewicht von 2,65 Kilo sind die Inspiron 15R-toshiba akku Notebooks recht portabel. Die Gehäuse-Höhe von drei Zentimetern trägt dabei nur unwesentlich in der Notebook-Tasche auf. Als besonderen Service bietet Dell seinen Anwendern optional die Online-Sicherungslösung DataSafe Online Backup, die eine regelmäßige apple laptop akku Sicherung der Daten über eine Internetverbindung beinhaltet und damit eine problemlose Wiederherstellung im Falle eines Datenverlustes ermöglicht.

The HP Wireless TV Connect uses WHDI (Wireless Home Digital Interface) technology, which lets acer laptop akku you beam signals with less than a 1-milisecond delay, and has a data rate of about 3GBps. Not surprisingly, HP's device worked just as dell laptop akku well as ASUS' (which uses the same technology): Using an older Sony VAIO Z with a Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia GeForce 9300M G graphics, we streamed a 1080p video of Kingdom of Heaven from our notebook's hard drive to a 46-inch Samsung HDTV from across our living room, about 10 feet away. (The device is rated for up to 100 feet).

When using the TV as the only display, action was smooth and seamless, but when we used our notebook with the Samsung TV in hp laptop akku extended mode, there was some banding and audio and video was slightly out of sync at times, especially during action sequences; we didn't encounter this problem with the WiCast, though. However, when we used the Wireless TV Connect with a more modern Alienware notebook, the problem went away.

Regardless, there was no lag whatsoever when moving windows with video running, or playing imb laptop akku games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and performance was on a par with the Asus WiCast. By comparison, the Warpia StreamHD had much more trouble playing high-def content; when a video was running, the cursor would jump around the screen.

There's one byproduct of DRM: If your notebook's display and your TV are cloned, you can only watch a Blu-ray on one of the screens. We encountered the same issue with the WiCast, too. However, this isn't a problem if you use extended mode, or use sony laptop akku the TV as your primary display.

While wireless streaming is still in its infancy, the HP Wireless TV Connect offers very good performance. Yes, the $199 price is steep and the device is bulky compared to the $159 Warpia Stream HD, but HP's device provides a much better overall experience for watching movies or playing games from across the room. We toshiba laptop akku slightly prefer ASUS' WiCast, though; it may not look as attractive as the Wireless TV Connect, but we like the fact that it works better with older notebooks, and its transmitter is smaller, making it less cumbersome for those who plan to use the device with a laptop. Regardless, you'll get fantastic wireless streaming performance from HP's device.

Mit den Notebooks der Inspiron 15R-Serie präsentiert Dell Geräte, die speziell für apple notebook akku Entertainment- und Multimedia-Anwendungen entwickelt wurden. Dazu verfügen die mobilen Rechner über ein 15 Zoll großes HD-Display. Wer mehr will, kann zum größeren Modell Inspiron 17R greifen.

Die technischen Eckdaten des Dell Latitude 2110 entsprechen den aktuell für Netbooks typischen Daten: Die Minirechner sind mit einem Intel Atom N470-Prozessor ausgestattet, der eine Taktfrequenz von 1,83 GHz leistet. 1.024 MB Arbeitsspeicher haben die Entwickler dem Netbook ab Werk zugedacht. Wer mehr Speicher braucht, kann auf maximal 2.048 MB DDR3-SDRAM aufrüsten. Die verbaute SATA-Festplatte liegt mit einer acer battery Speicherkapazität von 160 GB leicht unter dem aktuellen Trend vergleichbarer Modelle.

Kompaktes Display
Der Bildschirm des Dell Latitude 2110 bietet eine sichtbare Diagonale von 10,1 Zoll. Auf dem Display kann maximal mit einer Auflösung apple battery von 1.024 x 600 Bildpunkten gearbeitet werden. Neben einem herkömmlichen Display bietet Dell das Netbook auch mit einem berührungsempfindlichen Bildschirm an. Für die Grafik ist in jedem Fall die Onboard-Lösung Intel GMA X3150 zuständig. Die bewältigt zwar problemlos Office- und Internetaufgaben, scheitert aber an Spielen und hp battery mittelprächtig aufwendigen Grafikprozessen. Eine stromsparende LED-Hintergrundbeleuchtung des Displays kommt der mobilen Betriebszeit des Minirechners entgegen

Gute Ausstattung
Schnittstellenseitig zeigt sich das Dell Latitude 2110 vielseitig: Für die Netzwerkverbindung sorgt schnelles 10/100/1000-Ethernet. Außerdem finden sich am Gehäuse drei USB 2.0-Schnittstellen für den Anschluss externer Peripherie. Auch dell battery drahtlos geht es mit WLAN nach den Standards 802.11 b/g/n zügig voran. Sinnvoll ergänzt wird die Ausstattungsliste durch eine Webcam, die mit zwei Megapixeln Auflösung arbeitet und ein 3-in-1-Kartenlesegerät.

Skalierbare Leistung
Alle Modelle der Latitude E6500 XFR-Reihe sind mit schnellen Intel Core 2 Duo-Prozessoren ausgestattet. Minimal ticken die imb battery CPUs mit 2,40 GHz bei einem 1066 MHz schnellen Frontsidebus und drei MB L2-Cache. Maximal lässt sich ein Intel Core 2 Duo T9800-Prozessor mit einer Taktung von 2,93 GHz einsetzen. Im Standardmodell stehen außerdem zwei GB DDR2-Speicher zur Verfügung, die bei Bedarf auf bis zu acht GB ausgebaut werden können. Die Festplatte sony battery fasst mindestens 160 GB Daten und kann auf bis zu 250 GB Kapazität aufgestockt, bzw. durch ein 64 GB großes Mobility Solid State Drive ersetzt werden.
