Dell Inspiron 1545 Battery new-laptopbattery.com

The large palm rest and multi-touch control touchpad also allowed for easy navigation. It uses a hard plastic keys rather than the softer rubber mode but was fine for working all day on the device.The touchpad was large, taking up the bottom third of the device. It sports rounded edges on top, but they didn’t interfere with cursor movement.The Toshiba Satellite P25 is a desktop replacement style notebook. With one look at this Toshiba laptop I fell in love with the design and features available. The P25 is one stylish notebook, from its blue metallic top to its Silver metallic insides and high gloss black accents. The first thing you will notice when you open the lid is that the P25 has a big, bright, and beautiful 17 Widescreen display sporting a 1440 by 900 pixel resolution. The keyboard has a nice feel to it. With the positioning of the speaker closer upfront, the keyboard is permitted to be placed further away providing for a nice area to rest your palms. After using this laptop for a while now, I have grown to love the three large hot keys (dedicated shortcut buttons). All I have to do is open up the laptop, press power, then the first and second hotkeys and I am instantly surfing the web and checking my e-mail without having touched the mouse or the keyboard.

Satellite P25 series notebooks come with all the standard ports and slots: four USB 2.0, mini-FireWire, VGA out, parallel, S-Video, 56K modem, 10/100 Ethernet, line out, microphone, headphone, and IrDA, plus a dual Type II PC Card and one SD card slot. Some Satellite P25-models, such as the S607, include a TV-tuner module, installed in one of the two front-facing modular bays. Jacks for a cable hookup and composite video in both require the included adapter cables. Unfortunately, because the notebook’s battery and DVD-rewritable drive also use the modular bays, one or the other has to go to make room for the TV tuner.

Overall the Toshiba P25 laptop has a very unique design. The corners are rounded for comfort. If you look closely at the notebook you will be hard pressed to find an exact straight edge. Even the long edges have a slight curve to them, making for not only a sleek look, but a comfortable feel when carrying the device. The DVD and CD controls are located on the front middle, but just slightly under the front edge. This placement ensures you do not inadvertently press a button while in the middle of watching your favorite DVD. By default these buttons are turned off. You just have to push the mode button for 4 seconds to activate them; the same action will deactivate them if they are currently active. A unique feature is that you can play audio CDs without having the laptop turned on. This means you don t have to boot to Windows in order to play CDs. The DVD/CD tray is unique located at the front of the notebook; it comes out forward towards you when opening. At first I thought this was going to be a downfall in design, but after using the notebook in my recliner, I found that because of the large 17 screen the notebook is wider than most and fits perfectly in my lap between the recliner s arm rests. If I were sitting in my favorite recliner and wanted to pop the CD tray out to the side, it would be challenged by the arm of the chair, so this front loading design turned out to be a plus in my case! If you have the P25 placed on a desk it might also be easier to access the drive from a front location. The drive doesn t pop out far enough that you would have to back away from your desk when opening it, so in actual fact the access is easier by having the drive here.. USB ports are located on both the side and rear of the notebook, it s best to plug devices that you won t switch out much, such as a printer, to the back of the notebook and a device such as a USB flash drive into one of the side USB ports.High Quality Laptop Batteries & Adapter online shop - new-laptopbattery.com http://www.new-laptopbattery.com

I was pleased the Toshiba P25 came equipped with a DVD burner that is capable of burning DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM disc. Although this drive is branded as a DVD-SuperMulti drive, you can of course still burn CDs. DVDs are great for large amounts of data, but as the discs are more expensive you ll want to stick with CD-R and CD-RW discs as data storage media when you have under 740MB of data.

The P25 I have comes with an integrated 802.11g card. Built-in Wi-Fi is an important feature to have in any laptop you buy these days. I have tried the P25 with both my older D-Link (802.11b standard) AirPlus Access point and with my new Linksys 2.4GHz (802.11g standard) wireless router. The Toshiba P25 performed perfectly with both models. Compared to my older laptop in which I used a PCMCIA card that stuck out of the notebook, I have found that the P25 built-in Wi-Fi gets a much better signal strength then my older laptop.

The touchpad on the P25 is straight forward. Toshiba provided a utility that allows you to turn off the touchpad and use an external mouse if you prefer that method of input. The one item lacking in this laptop was the ability to turn off the touchpad s TAP for clicking. In case you are not familiar with a touchpad device, when you tap on a touchpad it registers the same as a left mouse button double-click. Most touchpads have a utility to disable the TAP feature so when you are sliding your finger up the pad and need to remove it and continue your slide, it does not register as a double click and dom something such as launch a hyperlink. I called Toshiba about this issue and they said a new Alps driver would be out soon to provide this functionality of disabling the tap. Toshiba recommended waiting for the release of the exact driver designed for the P25 notebook, but did mention drivers already existed for other Toshiba notebooks that allowed users to do this. Having found out about these drivers and locating them on the Toshiba website, I couldn t help but try them out to see if they worked for the P25. And guess what? They did! So I was able to download an Alps touchpad driver from Toshiba s web site and disable all the touchpad s special features without a problem.

The P25 has virtually no noticeable noise to speak of, even though it is a large notebook and you would expect for it to generate quite a bit of sound. The hard drive is very quiet. During intense CPU usage, such as when gaming or using multiple applications, the fans can come on and have an air moving sound to them, but there is no annoying fan whine to speak of.The widescreen is great for movies, word processing, excel and other general activities. However, I have found the odd screen resolution a bit of a hassle when trying to use the S-Video and VGA out, and in some games. There is an option in the in the display properties so that games not supporting the native 1280×800 resolution will display within the screen at the resolution set in the game. However, this leaves black bars on the sides and the top.Dell Laptop Battery & Adapter Online Shopping Mall - new-laptopbattery.com http://www.new-laptopbattery.com/dell.html

Battery and Power Adapter

The included battery has a unique tacky plastic finish and it does not move or rattle when installed. It is rated for 4000 mAh, 14.4 Volts and 57.6 Wh. On a big power gobbling rig like this I was not expecting much away from an outlet and I was right. Surfing the Internet with only a small bit of streaming video netting exactly 90 minutes from a full charge before the X305 shut itself off. Expect to get about an hour into a DVD before it shuts down.

The massive 180 Watt power adapter adds about 1.9 lbs to the travel weight. If other PSUs are bricks, this is a paving stone. It is easily the biggest power brick that I have come across. Toshiba uses a non-standard plug so make sure that you don’t forget it when you head out to the LAN Party, it is not likely that anyone will have a spare that will actually fit your X305.Ports on the X305 are as follows; three USB 2.0, mini Firewire, VGA, HDMI, USB 2.0/eSATA, microphone, headphone/digital and Ethernet. Inside a small compartment on the right side of the notebook are the Kensington lock port, modem/fax jack, and a memory card slot that accepts SD/MMC/MS and xD flash formats.

If you can buy the Gateway P-7811FX or ASUS G50Vt-X1 – both of which regularly sell for $1,250.00 – I think they are better choices. They will be 15-20% faster than the 9700m GTS-equipped X305 and a couple of hundred dollars less. All three are brands that I would trust. If the price comes down on the X305 to make it more competitive with its rivals, or if you can find one on sale, then I think you will be happy with any of these three notebooks.

This configuration of the X305 is Toshiba’s way of throwing a bone to people on a budget. I appreciate that. But if you have a bit more cash and access to the Toshiba online store then the X305-Q706 for $1,999.99 is a great value. It is the same notebook as the X305 reviewed here beefed up with two 9800m GTX cards in SLI, a higher resolution screen and 7200 RPM HDD. An additional $500 seems like a small price to pay for all the extra power. Two grand for a notebook may seem steep but comparable models from other manufacturers are common at $3,500-4,000.

For the past number of years, I’ve owned a Compaq Armada V300. With its blazing 450MHz Celeron processor and bland black case it’s nothing spectacular, but it’s been a surprisingly adequate workhorse and well worth the money. Despite this, the laptop is starting to show it’s age and the battery no longer holds a charge, which is the reason I needed to buy a new laptop.
