Toshiba Recall Signals Larger Trend for Hot Laptops
Toshiba is the latest laptop vendor to fall victim to overheating technology. The recall of approximately 41,000 laptops resulting from more than 100 reports of melting laptop cases and minor injuries follows similar issues and recalls from other laptop manufacturers, and illustrates the problem with cramming so much processing power into such a small space.

So, looking around for a really big opportunity that isn’t yet being served? Look no further than the High Tech house.

Yes, I know, all the big computer and consumer electronics companies are investing billions in the market for pumping entertainment content via fat pipes into and throughout the home. And no doubt, this is becoming a very large market that will ultimately be huge. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I believe that there is an even larger, but more mundane opportunity for software, semiconductor and electronics companies that has been largely ignored.

This new concept has been alluded to and talked about in theoretical, general terms by futurist speakers at trade shows and TV sound bites for many years. So in that sense it’s not really new. But little has been done in terms of actual investment in companies and product development to attack this potentially enormous market. So what exactly am I talking about? Do you remember several years back all of the snickering about the Internet Toaster?

Let’s call this the Internet Refrigerator market.

What’s so compelling about this potential new market segment vs. the home entertainment opportunity that nearly every monster high tech company is already chasing? Well, of course, the first attractive thing is that not everyone is chasing it yet! As far as I can tell, very few are. The second thing that pops up when considering this potential market is that there should be an attractive payback available to the customer. That’s something the entertainment space will never be able to say-it’s sexy, fun and high profile-but it’s looking to take a share of the already stretched consumer wallet for discretionary purchases. Thirdly, all of the technology necessary is already in existence. In the most recent study on broadband penetration this year, Nielson/Netratings found that 56% of US homes connected to the Internet are now using a broadband connection. Worldwide, almost two thirds of all Internet connects are broadband. The broadband world has arrived, and it’s time to start utilizing it for something other than simply surfing the World Wide Web. And finally, this concept should yield substantial benefit the US and world economies by driving costs out of some of the most labor intensive, inefficient tasks in modern western society. Yes, I said substantial economic benefits. Curious yet? Read on! › Continue reading…

If you are on a budget, purchasing a laptop computer can be a bit confusing. To begin with there are laptops which have different graphics cards, screen sizes, memory, processors, as well as all of the additional extras available.

To make the decision process even more difficult, there are new models constantly being released on the market. However, some of the newest laptop models are quite expensive, putting them out of reach for many people. The good news is that there are some dirt cheap laptops that are more than capable for what most of us want to do. Most of the high cost with laptops comes when you want the latest graphics card, best processor and extras like Blue-ray players.

When a lot of us want to buy a laptop we often search for used computers. However, refurbished models are a good alternative for finding a laptop that is like new. The benefit of buying refurbished is that you know that any faulty parts have been replaced. So you are really getting a brand new laptop for a fraction of the original price. The only pitfall is that you might not be able to find one of the newer models on sale.

No matter what your budget, a good place to begin is by always reading laptop ratings to get an idea of what models and makes are recommended. After you’ve found a few that you like, if they are out of your budget, search for refurbished models on Google or eBay.

You will find that gaming laptops are quite difficult to find as cheap as say laptops for students. If you are looking to play all of the latest games though, you will need to balance price with components. For instance, a good graphics card is very important for gamers, but will cost more to buy.

There are plenty of laptop makes out there, so it’s pretty easy to find a laptop that has the components that you want, and has a design you like. A lot of the top names like HP will even allow you to customize your laptop computer, so you can exchange components that you don’t really need for cheaper ones, and vice-versa. This also lets you design your laptop according to budget.

In order to buy a laptop computer that offers value, you should do your research. There are a lot of laptops for sale, so taking note of ratings and reviews is a good place to start.

Buying a new laptop is something that I would consider a fairly major purchase. To start with, I would like to state that I have actually worked for a retail company that purchases and sells everything that has to do with computers, and being a salesmen, I would like to contribute my knowledge to properly purchasing a new laptop. This especially applies to those who are buying a new laptop for the first time, or buying a computer for the first time.

Step 1 – Define your goal, and figure out your requirements

Hopefully that title does not scare you. Basically, the first question I ask someone, when they are purchasing a laptop is: What are you going to be using it for? Generally, responses are quite simple: I need it for work, or my daughter is going to school, or I am a gamer and want to play the latest and greatest games out there. This is when you should consider answering that question yourself. However, before you do that, there is one question that you must answer for yourself, and that is: Are you or someone that uses your laptop, ever going to play new 3D games on it?

If your answer is:

NO: If your answer is no, then you have narrowed your selection of laptops down by about 25% – 40% (Depending where you are buying them from). An important thing to keep in mind is that, if you are not playing games on it, you do not want a “dedicated graphics card” on the laptop, because you will never use it for what you are doing. The dedicated graphics card is a costly piece of material and it will not speed your laptop up for word processing, or the internet, or even your video editing.

YES: If you answered “yes” to the fact that you would play new 3D games, then you absolutely need a laptop that has a “dedicated graphics card” in it. When you talk to your sales representative make certain they know you will be playing games on it, and that the card itself has 128Mb of video ram, or more. Another point that you MUST watch out for, is that many laptops have an “on-board graphics card”. Do not get stuck with an on-board graphics card, if you intend on having a gaming laptop. The quality of games will be considerably horrible, and you will wish you re-read this article. As of writing this article, the more expensive, and thus better cards are GeForce 7600 Go, or 8600 cards, or some of ATI’s Radeon X1700 or better. You will have to discuss with your representative your budget, and how fast you want your games to run.

Now that you have figured out whether or not you will be gaming on your laptop, you must consider the other software you will be using, and what kind of processing power, and memory you will want on your laptop. To make things easy I would suggest reading the software requirements of the programs you will be running, to get an idea of what you will need to run that software.

Step 2 – Identifying your wants

This could almost be the final step, if not for some last minute notes. This step is very straightforward. You must decide for yourself how fast you want your machine to be. This is a critical step, because as soon as you purchase your laptop, you cannot change anything inside of it! The one exception is the memory, and that can always be upgraded. A general rule is, the more you pay, the more you get. Below, I will list in order of importance, the general components of the laptop that you are interested in:

1) CPU – This will determine how fast your machine launches programs and runs ( You will want at least a dual-core, unless you cannot afford it ). Look for Pentium Core2 chips, or AMD’s X2 type chips. Ask your product rep for a range of processors, and more information or guidance if you need.

2) Memory (RAM) – This is where all your programs store their temporary information. So, like our brains, the larger the amount of ram, the more programs you can have running, or you can launch larger programs. *Note: If you skimp on this item, you will sacrifice alot of performance (1 Gigabyte is generally the minimum, 2 Gigabytes will be the recommended).

3) Hard drive – This part is where you store your files for the long term. Accounting books, and music files, are all stored on the hard drive. The larger it is, the more files you can cram into it. Performance of your laptop is not affected by the size of the drive, and generally not by the speed of the drive. Hard drives will range from 80 Gb – 200 Gb (Sometimes more).

Generally those are the three most important components you will need to look at in all the laptops. Now I wish to share with you some final notes.

3) Final notes, and considerations

a) If the laptop you are considering purchasing is going to be over $1200, I would greatly consider buying a “Total care warranty”. This will run for 20% – 30% of the laptop price, but will cover any drops, wear, split liquids, etc. for 2-3 years. This is definitely worth considering, as I have seen many laptops with cracked screens, and to replace the screen, you are looking at $800 with labor and parts at least.

b) Brands do not matter a whole lot. Most, if not all laptops are manufactured by a global electronics company, that fills orders for many of the major brands you will see. So do not judge based on brand name, and do not judge based on looks. You will here many people tell you that “such and such a brand is no good” and some brands will be praised. To each their own, good luck shopping!

Most TVs employ stereo sound. Acoustic engineers have come up with great 2.1 systems that include two small radiating satellites and a subwoofer. Best of all, you can experience theater like surround sound with a 5.1,6.1 or 7.1 system.

You have center channel speakers that handle the local portion of your program and disseminate dialogue and narration, surround speakers provide wrap around audio effects, rear surround speakers add ambience to the scene and provide additional wraparound audio. Subwoofers handle low-frequency effects and most of all a good receiver gives you multi channel surround options.

The Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 channel theater system is a great choice for the first-time home theater system buyer seeking to experience 5.1-channel surround sound, or a great value solution for a second home theater system in the house.

The Sony 5.1 system is set up so that you can achieve optimal speaker placement in about 30 seconds thru the use of Digital Cinema Auto Calibration. The iPod cradle connects to a digital media port that allows iPod music and video to be played through your SONY home theater as well.

Another feature, digital media port booster technology enhances the sound quality of all audio and music video passing through the cradle accessory. In movie music mode, the Sony system automatically detects what is being played and automatically enhances the audio quality.

This system can upscale DVDs to 1080p high definition quality with the use of a HDMI cable when attached to a high definition TV set. As an added convenience, BRAVIA SYNC lets you connect products with HDMI and use one button from one remote to switch to the right input and begin playing.

And, perhaps best of all, the Sony Bravia DAV-HDX28 5.1 includes an easy setup disk that provides step by step instructions on how to set up the main unit, wire the speaker cables and calibrate all of the system speakers with ease.
