Asus X42F Battery

There's no NFC in this latest model, which is perhaps no surprise given that Apple doesn't use such near field communication in its devices, but that might come as a blow for Android users wanting a quick sync-up. Beats' excuse? Customers weren't using it before, so they don't want it now. There is, of course, Bluetooth connectivity across the board to deliver those tunes wirelessly. However, we've found Bluetooth to be fussy in its connection, with our MacBook Air not always delivering audio despite an established connection. The main way most will connect is via the Pill+ app, available for iOS and Android. We've been using the latter with both Moto Force and Huawei Mate 8 phones, which have exhibited some clicks, pops and drop-outs in playback from time to time (both via Wi-Fi and 4G connections). The Pill+ app is a little slow to load, but only really needs to be used if you want to amplify/stereofy with a second Pill product, or use the two-Bluetooth-devices-connected DJ mode to chop and change between two devices. Otherwise you can choose whichever service you like - from Spotify and Google Music, to BBC Media Player and beyond. What we particularly like is the percentage display which gives an accurate relay of the Pill+'s remaining battery. Speaking of which the battery life is fairly reasonable, at over 10-hours per charge. It takes a few hours to recharge the battery from flat though. Beats Pill+ review: Sound As with any Bluetooth speaker it's the sound that perhaps matters the most. And while the Pill+ isn't bad, it's not that great either. Or, more specifically, not great for a £190 speaker unit.

The closed box design features two woofers and two tweeters, both of which are separated. At around the 2,000Hz mark a proprietary Beats digital signal processor (DSP) dynamically adjusts the crossover in real-time depending on what you're listening to. That's important if you've got a bass-laden track where more space is left for that low-end, allowing the higher-end to cut through over the top. Which sounds rather fancy, but the actual results can be a little lacking. The Pill+ is a little larger than its predecessors, but there's still not heaps of bass - and when companies such as Ultimate Ears offer the UE Megaboom, for example, the Beats product just can't be seen (or heard) in the same stead. Anything of this size is going to have its limitations, of course, so matching expectation is a given. If all you have to listen to is a laptop then connecting the Pill+ will make a huge difference - and it's really loud too, which helps. We just expected to be blown away at this price point, which isn't the case. Verdict The Beats Pill+ is the best looking pill-shaped portable from the now-Apple-owned company. But that's not enough to make it stand head and shoulders above its competition, particularly given the overall sound quality and a scatty Bluetooth connection. Not that it's a bad portable, but Ultimate Ears and some other makers do a better job. What's really questionable is the price. At £190 for one unit - and with a push for stereo/amplified output as a pair you'll be looking at a £380 price tag - the Pill+ is expensive for what it is. There are dedicated Bluetooth systems close to that price point which are considerably better, which makes this a hard Pill to swallow. When Acer sent across its brand new Chromebook 11 for me to try out, here’s what I decided: I was going to use this baby as my primary computer for at least a few weeks. I would use it to write, research, play music, check email, and a bunch of other things.

A Chromebook, if you haven’t been keeping up, is a laptop that runs Google’s Chrome OS. If you’ve ever used Chrome — the browser — on Windows or a Mac, Chrome OS will be familiar territory. On a Chromebook, the browser is the operating system, and any applications you install are essentially Chrome browser extensions that runs in chrome tabs when you launch them. It’s a radical simplification of the computing experience, which makes the web your exclusive playground to achieve anything that you’ve used a traditional laptop for. The downside of being web-first is that a Chromebook is virtually useless if you don’t have a constant internet connection. Over time, Google has evolved Chrome OS to work better offline. And the application library is vastly better than what it was just a couple of years ago. You can now run the VLC media player, Dropbox, and OneDrive on a Chromebook. You can even run Chrome-based versions of heavy-duty apps like Photoshop and Microsoft Word. But can a Chromebook be your daily driver?

Setting up the Acer was easy enough. It booted incredible fast — under 10 seconds — but then asked me to connect to a WiFi network. This was mandatory — and a bit of a letdown — because it means that unless you’re online, you’re not going anywhere with it. Once I connected, I was required to login with a Google account (again, mandatory). That was it. Here’s what Chrome OS looks like. The tray on the bottom right lets you control WiFi, check on the battery, and fiddle around with settings, where you can change that wallpaper and switch the bluetooth on or off (among other things). On the left is an app launcher, which is like the Start Menu on Windows, and gives you access to apps you download from the Chrome Web Store. Staying connected So what was it like to actually use this thing? One word: Limiting. The Chromebook’s productivity is restricted to apps like Google Docs and whatever else can run in a browser. If you have any major desktop apps that you rely on, you’re going to have to look for web-based alternatives.

Some things like word processing isn’t an issue. Google Docs and Microsoft Office on the web are really powerful, letting you create, edit, and share documents, spreadsheets, and presentations easily. If that’s all that you need — and you have reliable internet access —a Chromebook would be perfect for you. Schools and colleges whose needs are limited to these tools, in particular, would benefit immensely. Entertainment wasn’t really a strong suit of Chrome OS before, but Google has made significant strides in this area. You can store media on the laptop’s internal storage (you’re limited to about 11 GB out of 16, and no, there’s no SD card slot) and play back anything using the Chrome OS version of VLC. Google also gives you a bunch of movies for free on Google Play, but you’ll need to stream them using WiFi. The only drawback that I found was that Google Play Music isn’t officially available in India, which means that if you have a large music collection, you’ll need to upload it to Google Drive where it will eat up precious storage space. This is less than idea, because you’ll be stuck with a boring file system-style menu of your music library and won’t have the great album art and the slick experience that Google Play Music users in other countries get. The Chrome Web Store also has a limited selection of fairly basic games — think Angry Birds — that you can download and play, and you can also download any books you’ve bought from the Play Store to read them offline.

Almost all the apps available on Chrome can be accessed through the browser on other computers, but Chromebooks can only run software either available on the Chrome Web Store or a website. Regular desktops apps can’t be installed.The Chromebook’s offline capabilities include playing games, using to-do list apps like Wunderlist, Offline Gmail, Calendar, and Google Docs. I could use all these apps without an internet connection and any changes I made offline would sync up when the Chromebook was connected to the internet — handy if you’re WiFi is acting up or if you’re on a flight. So what’s the verdict? At the beginning of this review, I said that I planned to use the Chromebook as my primary laptop for a few weeks. I wasn’t able to get even close to it. I tried it for a couple of days but ended up finding the always-connected-to-the-internet requirement a bit restrictive. And the lack of any expandable storage made the Acer 11 a bit of a non-starter. Battery life averaged at around 6 hours with medium usage — not bad, but not great. Can the Acer Chromebook 11 replace your laptop? At around Rs. 17,000, I would say almost. It’s thin, light, and portable. But Chrome OS, in its current avatar, is still too limiting, and I’d be more comfortable recommending this as a secondary device to do lightweight tasks on.

Specifications: Intel Celeron N2830 Dual-core 2.16 Ghz | 11.6” HD (1366 x 768) 16:9 | Intel HD Graphics with Shared Memory | 2 GB, DDR3L SDRAM | 16 GB Flash Memory | 3-cell battery To look at the Dell Precision 15 5510, you wouldn’t know that it sits in the middle of Dell’s workstation lineup. The laptop is thinner and sleeker than you might expect a workstation-class laptop to be and the premium carbon fiber palm rest gives the system a decidedly high-end vibe. But the Precision 15 5510 is actually Dell’s mid-range mobile workstation, and its price tag comes in as low as $1,399. It's essentially the workstation cousin to Dell's new and rather fantastic XPS 15 that we evaluated here not long ago.

Putting the power of a true workstation into a laptop is a tall order to begin with, but Dell makes the job even tougher with the Precision 15 5000 series, which is designed to be thin and light at just under 4 pounds. Dell succeeds in creating a highly portable workstation, but there are inevitably sacrifices to be made with a machine of this type, which we’ll get to a little later. For now, let’s take a look at the Precision 15's specifications and main features... As is the case with Dell’s consumer laptops, customization is a major selling point for its commercial and enterprise-class systems. The Precision 15 5000 series has multiple processor (including Core i5, i7, and Xeon processors), memory, and storage options, to name a few. Dell chose several of these upgrades for our review system, boosting our config's overall capabilities and performance. The setup we will be showing you here is priced at $2,603, well above the base price for the Precision 15 5510 ($1399), but it has a higher-end CPU, more memory, faster storage, and a better, higher resolution display than the base model.

Dell also opted for the better of the two 15.6-inch displays. The UltraSharp UHD (3840 x 2160) display in the model we looked at has a significantly higher resolution and features touch capabilities that the base model doesn't offer. It also swapped the typical 3-cell, 56Wh Lithium Ion battery with its 6-cell counterpart to make the laptop last longer when untethered to an electrical outlet. Long battery life is hard to achieve when you are building a powerful laptop, so it will be interesting to see how the better battery performs. Dell doesn’t offer alternatives for all of the Precision 15 5510’s components, however. Graphics are handled by an Nvidia Quadro M1000M GPU with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, whether you get the base model or max the system out.

For connectivity, Dell offers its own branded Wireless-AC and Bluetooth hardware or Intel’s Dual-Band Wireless-AC 8260 and Bluetooth 4.1 wireless card. The laptop doesn’t have Ethernet on-board, but it ships with an Ethernet dongle that plugs into the Thunderbolt 3 port that's housed on one side, should you need to hard-wire the machine to a network. A workhorse for productivity-minded business users, the 14-inch Dell Latitude E5470 offers a compelling combination of performance, usability and durability. Priced at $1,480 as configured ($779 to start), the laptop's optional 1080p display helps it stand out from the competition by offering rich, accurate colors, but below-average battery life is a disadvantage. Does this portable deserve to be your daily driver? With its matte, black design and solid form, the Dell Latitude E5470 has the look and feel of a serious productivity machine. The notebook can take a beating, thanks to its carbon-fiber reinforcements, spill-resistant keyboard and optional scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass touch display ($210). The E5470's 180-degree hinge allows you to lay the screen flat and parallel with the keyboard for easier collaboration.

Dell Latitude E5470Dell says the notebook has been built to pass the military-grade durability testing to the MIL-STD-810G standard. That means it can be operated at temperatures as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as negative 20.2 degrees, and at heights as high as 15,000 feet. The E5470 can also be used while sand and dust are blasted at it for 12 hours.

A USB 3.0 port sits on the left side of the E5470, and VGA and HDMI Ethernet ports sit on the right side, along with the notebook's second USB 3.0 port and its SIM card tray. A third USB 3.0 port, SD memory reader and a Kensington lock slot live on its right edge. Dell put its proprietary EDock port on the bottom of the E5470.

Supported devices include things like displays, storage, audio gear, and networks. All of those devices can connect to a single Thunderbolt port. The docking station sells for $347.99 and its official name is the StarTech Thunderbolt 2 Dual-monitor Docking Station for Laptops. Inside it has an Intel DSL5520 Falcon Ridge quad-channel Thunderbolt 2 controller capable of 20 Gbps data transfers.

It can achieve that data transfer rate whole supporting a single 4K resolution display or a pair of 2560 x 1440 monitors. This means it has the ability to add two more displays to any PC with a Thunderbolt 2 connector. Other than those Thunderbolt 2 ports, it also has a pair of DisplayPort connections, four USB 3.0 ports, eSATA connector, Gigabit LAN, two 3.5mm ports, and a SPDIF audio output.
