Dell :: Vostro 1720 Power Consumption

Apr 26, 2009

I am looking for a laptop with a matte display (at least 15.4'') and low power consumption, and so far I've selected these ones:

- Latitude E5500 (WXGA anti-glare)
- Latitude E6500 (Led backlit)
- Vostro 1720 (WXGA anti-glare)

(always with P8600)

I really like the Vostro 1720 features, but I am a bit worried about its power consumption (having a 17'' display, a NVIDIA video card, ...). There are very complete reviews for both Latitude models here:

Acer :: 5810t High Power Consumption

Sep 3, 2009

I recently bought a 5810 and Im having a far lower battery time then I expected. Even when running everything at maximum power saving in W7 I get no more then 3-3.5 hours or so. This is a huge bummer for me as it was the main reason I bought the laptop.

Dell :: Odd Power Consumption Results Of M4400 Vs Studio XPS 13

Apr 2, 2009

The Studio XPS 13 should have a lower power consumption than the m4400 because of the small screen size(13"vs15"), lower power CPU(TDP of 25 vs 35), and a lower power graphics card (9200M vs 770M)...

Notebookcheck reports that the XPS 13 lasts 3hrs20min on idle, no wifi, and min brightness and 1hr10min under full load and max brightness...

In contrast they also report that the m440 will last 4hrs31min and 1hr35min respectively...

Acer :: 1810t Abnormal Idle Power Consumption After X264 Video

Nov 19, 2009

Just got my new 1810t delivered today. Mine is the one with the SU4100.

Notice that at idle it goes to 5.5-6w. Great. After anything intensive I do it always drops down to that level. However, when i watch DXVA x264 accelerated video in MPC or WMP, i notice that after quitting my idle power consumption jumps an average of two watts. The only way to get back to normal idle power consumption is by putting the laptop into sleep mode, then waking it back up again.

Watching the same x264 video in VLC which does not support DXVA doesnt result in the increase in idle power consumption.

Watching DXVA accelerated youtube HD content with flash 10.1 doesnt increase power consumption either.

Running the latest (15.16.2.64.1986) video drivers, but the same problem was present on the stock drivers that came with the laptop. Version of those drivers was unknown. Wattage was measured using both batterymon, and batterybar.

Sony :: SZ6/7 Overclocking 8400 GS 64MB

Mar 27, 2010

I asked around and people said that the 8xx Series nVidia GPU is defective and its very high risk of bricking my PC if i do so, others have said that its possible but to a small boost which is more than fine for me, becuase when im playing games or whatnot, then my screen freezes for a second.like if im playing a racing game and i have the up arrow key pressed and turning right and have them both held the game freezes untili let go of both keys and it returns like it was just frame hiccup or something nothing major but its a bit bothersome.

It still irriates me ALOT that even though Sony moved up from 7400 GPU to 8400 GS then DOWNGRADED the video ram from 128mb to 64mb which really sucks. I just sold my SZ4 for a pitiful £250 and bought an SZ60WN/C off my uncle for 350, but I feel like the overall performance of the SZ4 surpasses the SZ6 I notice a good amount of slowness...im not gonna say lag but slowness in the things i do on normal bases whether its multiple tabs or photoshop or anything else.

Now I know OVERALL the 8xx cards are defective but I heard that only some models were defective does this affect the SZ6/7? and anything I can do to OC the GPU or speed up my system by anyway.

MY ram is PC-6400 667 bus speed would i get a good speed bump moving upto a 800Bus speed RAM?

Sony :: An Internal Comparison Of Old CW Vs New

Feb 25, 2010

I decided to do some investigating about the differences between them. What sparked this curiosity was the consistently higher temperatures I got with my new CW. Turns out the cooling design is a little different.

Not the best pics but hey this science project was done at 3am

New on the left, old on the right:

Old CW:

New CW:

And a pic side by side just for kicks

I think I'll be adding some thermal paste to my new CW. which one? I gotta research how to do all that stuff.

Sony :: Vaio Z And The Thinkpad X200, Brief Comparison

Oct 9, 2009

I originally bought an X200 and then I decided to go for the Sony Vaio Z720D/B instead. I thought I'd give a brief comparison since there are few laptops in this class: extremely portable with a full speed processor onboard. The choices for an ultra portable working laptop boils down to basically these two plus the Dell and Thinkpad X301, both of which are more expensive.

X200 pros:
- Extremely durable. I have no qualms about throwing this around.
- Locking and firm lid.
- Amazing battery life and very cheap batteries. I bought an extra 6-cell for $50, 9-cell for $60. I get realistically 7 hours out of the 9 cell, and 13 if just reading a pdf document.
- Lots of very handy keyboard shortcuts (the forward/back browser buttons are my favourite)
- Amazing track point, best I've ever used.
- Weak keyboard light helps somewhat
- Lighter than the Sony
- Spill-resistant keyboard
- Tiny AC adapter..................

HP/Compaq :: 8400 Saga

Sep 2, 2009

my DV2500 with it's beautiful NVIDIA 8400GS died. I tried all sorts of little experiments like the Xbox towel trick... and nothing worked.

Well, I found a local shop who will take apart the laptop and heat the solder points with a "machine" and are going to charge me about $50 for it, which I think is reasonable.

I go to pick it up tomorrow... I am kinda excited. I am hoping it will last me for another year or something, crazy optimistic I know but... we'll see.

Acer :: Aspire 9500 Booting

Mar 30, 2008

last year i formated my acer 9500 laptop and got a normal home win xp. A couple of days ago i got a hold of my original acer system cds and i decided to restore my system back.

Everything went well until the install finished; I was in windows and the first time i restarted the laptop it didnt boot back in win xp. When its about to start booting windows it stops and all i get is a black screen and a flickering white small line on the top line. I tried reinstalling the original system again and the same thing happends; after the first restart it doesnt want to boot xp.

I started reading forums and found out that if i press alt+f10 it might fix the problem.

It worked, if i press alt f10 before it reaches the black screen it loads into xp. This is the only way i can load it. As i read i got the feeling i might have messed up my MBR.

Im not sure how this all works but i have a hunch that my laptop doenst know where my xp is when its supposed to load it and by pressing alt f10 it somehow temporarly fixes that.

Is there any way to permanently fix this ? Some pple said that if i ran a normal non-acer win xp cd and ran some sort of MBR fix it might solve my problems. Im getting a cd from a friend in a couple of days . Is there any other way i can fix my notebook before then ?

Its not a big deal if i have to press alt f10 everytime i restart but its annoying and i have a hunch ill run into trouble later on.

HP/Compaq :: HP 9500 Nvidia Driver No DVD In Media Player

Feb 13, 2010

I downloaded the newest driver for the nvidia 8600..Which is like a year old now..Sometimes I would get the old blue screen crash and dump when viewing certain dvds..So I checked nvidia's website and got this driver and now I can't even watch dvds in the windows media player 11..I like to use it and other players work like the built in Quickplay..

I thought it was the codec but I am not sure what to do..I have tried a couple things installing codec packages and what nOT..Downloaded the new Divx 7 package and it gave me back avi and some files will now play..But some are s till a green blank...Also the dvd playback won't even do that or play sound..It kinda starts and everything freezes and its just black..The WMP locks up and becomes un responsive...Have shut it down and start over..I was thinking of going back to the old nvidia driver that I had but now sure how to do this..

Acer :: Aspire 9500 (audio) Sound Did Not Work Properly

Jun 5, 2009

I have a problem with the audio. I reinstal the O.S. because my laptop was working slow, and because the sound did not work properly. Everything affter instalation works fine, just the audio doen't work properly, it sounds...hesitating

I thought the problem was the cpu temperatures... 60º-65º idle, and just open a few windows it reachs at 75º-80º, and stay in this temps.

Notebook Hardware Control, lets make undervolting. So I make some test... and just when the cpu loads at 100% the audio works properly, clean and perfect. If cpu loads under 80% the audio sounds... but defective, not clean...

Acer :: Aspire 9500 Powers Off (possibly Overheats) Before Windows Loads

Mar 28, 2009

Acer Aspire 9504.

First of all it runs in Windows completely rock solid. I have ran stress utilities for over 24 hours, and the system is completely stable.

My problem is that it is very unstable before windows loads. For example, if I simply leave it in the BIOS setup for 5 minutes the computer will just power off. It is also quite hot underneath. This occurs also if I boot from DOS (or other e.g. XP recovery disk) boot disk to run some utilities - the system will run for 5 minutes or so, and then just power off. The time that I get before it powers off decreases if I immediately switch it on again, suggesting an overheating issue. I did not have this problem when I first got the laptop 3 years ago.

This problem is really annoying as I want to run some low-level utilities to repartition my hard disk and also possibly reinstall windows, but this problem is preventing that.

Any ideas? Perhaps some strange software that I installed? ACPI config? Memory issue? BIOS issue? Computer is hot in several areas under where the CPU / TV tuner / graphics / memory are located .

My system spec:
- Pentium M 760 2GHz
- Ati X700 256MB graphics
- 2GB crucial RAM (2 x 1 GB DDR2 533 CL4) (upgraded from 1GB over a year ago and fully tested to be working)
- Newest BIOS from Acer installed

From system information:

OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
OS ManufacturerMicrosoft Corporation................................

I found two similar models of HP DV6t laptop at Newegg.

HP Pavilion DV6-1362NR

HP Pavilion DV6-2144NR

Both are the same price however they differ a bit in specs.
The differences between are:

1. Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz (1362NR) VS AMD Turion II M520 2.3GHz (2144NR)

2. 4GB DDR3 (1362NR) VS 4GB DDR2 (2144NR)

Which laptop is in a way "better"? or if you can't compare these two in that way what are the pros and cons between the two differences?

I will also have another coupon that takes off $250 from the price listed.

Dell :: M4400 RGB-LED Backlight Comparison

I happen to have two M4400's on me, both have the RGB-LED. Figured I'd take some pictures to compare the bleed on both backlight's.

The one on the left was delivered this week and the one on the right was delivered two months ago.

Curious, other CCFL or RGB-LED M4400 owners, do you find your bleed patterns similar?

Dell :: Hybrid SLI .. The Definitive Comparison

May 10, 2009

it seems alot of people don't seem to understand the workings under SLI and have simply decided that the Hybrid SLI found in their laptop is pretty much useless.. While there is some truth to this it isn't completely true.

As those of you with SLI on your desktops will know, SLI is largely based on 2 things. Game support, and driver support.

By game support I mean some games will darn right refuse to work properly with SLI enabled. Some games may also work with SLI enabled, but show no clear benefits with SLI turned on. And linking in, nVidia have to make profiles for each game in their drivers. If you're up for tweaking it is possible to add your own profiles using nHancer, but then again, how many of you would be willing to do that?

So what I plan on doing, is benchmarking several games to give people an insight into the workings of SLI, what games support it, what games don't, what games need tweaking.. and hopefully based on this you can decide whether it's worth it or not for you in particular .....

Apple :: Macbook Pro Screen Comparison

Aug 18, 2009

After the disappointment of buying a windows laptop, I've decided to buy a mac.

I'd like to get one of the new pros, either a 15" or 13". i don't need the 9600gt as I just web surf and do documents.
So its either
the 2.26 13" version
2.53 13" version
or 2.53 15" version.

What I'd like to know is which screen has more pixels per inch, ie a clearer/crisper screen.

I'm used to a full hd vaio screen, so which would be the smallest step down in terms of crispness of images?
