Toshiba Satellite M305 Review

Toshiba Satellite M305 Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery

Toshiba’s shiny M305 notebook with battery like Toshiba PA5157U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba M40-A Battery, Toshiba M50-AT02S1 Battery, Toshiba Satellite E55 Battery, Toshiba M50-A Battery, Toshiba Satellite M50T Battery, Toshiba Satellite U940 Battery, Toshiba Satellite U50T Battery, Toshiba PA5208U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Chromebook CB35 Battery, Toshiba Satellite E45W Battery, Toshiba Satellite P55W Battery packs a lot of performance and features into an extremely elegant and sophisticated-looking chassis. Despite its relatively low price it offers 3GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a Core 2 Duo “Penryn” processor in a light and portable package. Though it won’t win any benchmark shootouts it’s certainly adequate for web surfing and office productivity; the only downside is it includes the usual Toshiba bloatware, so know that you’ll have to spend some time cleaning it up a bit to allow it to reach its full potential.

Toshiba offers three similar configurations of the M305 on its website, but you can also customize your model quite a bit if you are so inclined. The model we received is the M305-S4826, which is uses an Intel Santa Rosa chipset with a Penryn Core 2 Duo processor clocked at 2.1GHz with 3MB of L2 cache (the higher end Penryns have 6MB). It uses an 800MHz front side bus with 3GB of DDR2 RAM, which is more than enough to run its OS – Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

A notebook’s display size is a key factor in considering a notebook, as anything less than 15” is usually “portable” and anything bigger will usually stay plugged in most of the time. The M305 sports the popular 14.1” display, which is small enough to reduce the chassis size, but big enough to not feel cramped. It has a widescreen aspect ratio too, which is good for movie-watching. It’s a WXGA panel with a native resolution of 1280×800, and used Toshiba’s TruBrite technology, which is what the company calls its glossy screen coating.

The included webcam and microphone gave us a few problems during testing. We liked that the webcam could capture video at 1280×800, and recording video is very easy. Just start the camera and click the video box to record, but we were unable to get it to record audio no matter what we did. All of our videos were silent, and the “record audio” button was useless. We went into the preferences and it has an “audio volume” meter, and when we spoke it registered, but we couldn’t get it to work regardless. Strangely enough, the M305 includes Toshiba’s Speech System, which lets you bark out commands and have the PC do your bidding. We had no problems with this software and it works great. You can say “Open Internet Explorer” and the program opens a few seconds later. Why the microphone works for this feature but not the webcam is unknown.

Toshiba also includes a facial recognition feature that can use your face to log onto the computer, but it’s way too difficult to calibrate. In order for it to recognize your face you have to hold your face inside a transparent “face ouline” that has two eyes, a nose and a mouth. You have to align your parts with the frame’s parts, then follow it back and forth and up and down for about 30 seconds. We tried this exercise three times and every time it failed, which is ridiculous. It should be more like the Asus U6S, which simply zooms in on your face and takes a picture.

We performed our DVD run-down test on the M305, and it lasted for a respectable 2 hours and 3 minutes, which is enough to catch a movie on a plane. You can buy a bigger 9-cell battery from Toshiba for just $129, and together they’d probably offer around 5 hours of battery life, which is great for frequent travelers.

The M305 certainly has a lot to offer folks who are looking for a semi-portable notebook. At just 5.2 lbs. it’s relatively light, small and would easily slip into a backpack. We love the elegant design and white lights that accent the black and grey colors – it’s a very attractive notebook, and clearly the company’s paying more attention to style as indicated by the M305 and the Qosmio. There were several small things that bothered us such as the webcam and facial recognition software, but the biggest gripe we have is with the bloatware. We really wish Toshiba would at least give customers the option to have it removed or just put it all on a CD that the user could browse at he or she’s leisure instead of mucking up the desktop with links to trialware.

Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA review

Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

There are legitimate reasons to spend over a thousand bucks on a laptop, whether it’s cutting-edge industrial design or durable build quality. But each year, the reasons are fewer and fewer.

The Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA with battery such as Asus A31N1537 Battery, Asus X441U Battery, Asus X441UA Battery, Asus X441SA Battery, Asus X441SC Battery, Asus X441UV Battery, Asus A31LP4Q Battery, Asus A31N1601 Battery, Asus R541UA Battery, Asus X541U Battery, Asus X541UV Battery, Asus X541SC Battery, which starts at $800, is yet another point against extravagantly expensive laptops.

Its predecessors have long been our go-to recommendation at this price point, and Asus has followed it up with a worthy successor. With a quad-core processor, a lightweight build, and ambitious battery life claims, is the UX331UA the little ZenBook that could?

Set the ZenBook 13 UX331UA next to a Surface Laptop 2, MacBook Pro, or Dell XPS 13, and you’ll immediately see the difference. All three might be thin and silver on the outside, but a discerning eye will spot where Asus cut costs. Everything from the shiny, concentric style of the lid to the plastic bezels feels, well, cheap – because it is less expensive.

Unlike those expensive devices, the ZenBook 13 lands at just $800, which happens to be right in the price range most people consider affordable. At that price, the ZenBook 13 fits in with its contemporaries, offering a modern design. We like the look of the Lenovo Yoga S730 and IdeaPad 530S better, but the ZenBook is right behind them.

Weight and thickness are where this ZenBook really shines. At just 2.5 pounds and 0.55 inches thick, the ZenBook 13 is lighter and thinner than a MacBook Pro! It’s not the champion in this area. Compared to competitors in the same price, the $800 Lenovo Yoga S730 is slightly thinner and lighter. However, the Zenbook handily beats the affordable HP Envy 13t, or the Dell Inspiron 13 7000. It’s also lighter than the Dell XPS 13, though only just.

Though thin and light, the ZenBook 13 doesn’t feel flimsy. There are spots in the keyboard deck where there’s some flex if you push hard, but you have to go looking for this flaw to notice it. The hinge, meanwhile, feels sturdy and can be opened with one finger.

The ZenBook 13 has a standard array of ports, including an HDMI port, USB-C port, two USB-A 3.1 ports, and a miniSD card slot. That’s a bit of something for everyone. We’d prefer a USB-C charging port over the proprietary barrel plug, but that’s our only complaint, and it’s not one most its competitors solve.

Excellent battery life was a strength this laptop’s predecessors offered, and that similarly-priced laptops lacked. This year, Asus reduced the size of the battery from 57 to 50 watt-hours, which worried us heading into our battery tests.

The first we tried was a video loop test, which plays a 1080p trailer on repeat until the battery dies. It lasted for nine and a half hours, which isn’t bad, but it’s a full hour and a half less than the older UX330UA. It even depleted the battery faster than the Acer Swift 3, which cleared 10 and a half hours.

It’s a similar story in the Basemark benchmark, which tests the battery against an intensive workload. This resulted in a 31 percent drop in battery life from the previous version — and again, is below the Swift 3.

There is a silver lining to the ZenBook’s battery life, and that’s in web browsing. The UX331UA lasted over 10 and a half hours, which is extremely impressive. In fact, it sets a record in this benchmark, outside outliers like the Surface Book 2 (which has a second battery in the tablet portion) or the Asus NovaGo (which uses a Qualcomm processor). It even beats the Dell XPS 13, with its larger 60 watt-hour battery.

We don’t love the results of the first two tests, but none of the results are disaster, and web browsing best replicates what the average person will do with this laptop. Taken together, our tests make it clear you can rely on the ZenBook 13 to endure a full work day of use.

The ZenBook 13 UX331UA once again proves Asus is the king of budget Windows laptops. It’s not perfect — we’d still prefer a more interesting design, a faster SSD, and even a better touchpad. But when it comes to the basics that really matter in a laptop, like portability and performance, the ZenBook 13 has it in spades. If $800 is your max budget, your hunt for a laptop is officially over.

Why use a stylus with your 2-in-1 laptop

Why use a stylus with your 2-in-1 laptop

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

The ZenBook Flip S with battery such as Asus C22-UX31 Battery, Asus C23-UX31 Battery, Asus UX31E-DH72 Battery, Asus UX31E-RY009V Battery, Asus UX31 Battery, Asus UX31A-R4004H Battery, Asus C21N1401 Battery, Asus C21PQCH Battery, Asus X455 Battery, Asus X455LA Battery, Asus X455LD Battery, Asus X455LA-WX082D Battery is built to be a versatile workhorse, and is built specifically with stylus input in mind. With the ASUS Pen, you can work and create with precision and ease, but what are some of the specific use cases? Why not just use a laptop traditionally with the built-in keyboard and touchpad?

Note-taking can be done with a keyboard, but with the added flexibility of a stylus, you’re able to make more free-form connections between ideas. Circle big ideas, draw arrows for associations, sketch out relevant diagrams, and take your records beyond simply words on a page. This added dimension can be useful in both classroom and boardroom contexts. Use the included Windows Ink software to make quick reminders with Sticky Notes. Cortana can even kick in to make your notes actionable if it detects the right text being written. Bamboo Paper is a great option if you want to include more rich media in your notes, like photos.

When brainstorming and working collaboratively, pen input lets you work with a wide range of free-form information. Pass of the ZenBook Flip S and ASUS Pen to a colleague who has a few thoughts on what to change about your project, or build sprawling idea webs with no boundaries. Your PC’s connectivity makes sharing these kinds of documents infinitely easier than working on a whiteboard or paper. To mark up external assets, Windows Ink has screen sketch, which lets you immediately write on top of any screenshot. CollaBoard is an app built specifically for providing a shared workspace. It lets you view multiple files at once, mark them up, and see what your colleagues are contributing.

Of course, the artists can’t decide when inspiration strikes, and pen input lets them start sketching right away. From rough outlines to fully-realized pieces, the ZenBook Flip S can accommodate the software designers and artists need to get things dones. Even photographers can benefit from the fine control provided with the ASUS Pen when editing masks, or airbrushing a face. For quick, basic sketching, the Windows Ink software includes an app complete with brush and color selection, and a ruler. For something more involved, Autodesk SketchBook offers a full suite of pen-friendly tools to realize your vision.

The pen works perfectly in concert with your keyboard when it comes to document editing, too. When reviewing a document, it can be much faster to highlight with a pen directly when something needs changing. Even for simply selecting text, the ASUS Pen can be easier to use than the touchpad or keyboard. Though you’ll most often be working with words, you can also use apps like StaffPad to write music seamlessly.

Whatever business you need to get down to, stylus input will let you leave the paper notebook at home.

Acer TravelMate B117-M-P16Q Netbook

Acer TravelMate B117-M-P16Q Netbook

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery

The TravelMate B117-M with battery like Acer AS16A5K Battery, Acer AS16A7K Battery, Acer AS16A8K Battery, Acer E5-575 Battery, Acer E5-774 Battery, Acer F5-573 Battery, Acer E5-475G Battery, Acer CB5-571 Battery, Acer ES1-311 Battery, Acer CB3-531 Battery, Acer ES1-131 Battery, Acer B115-MP Battery offers silent operation, very long battery runtimes, and a three-year warranty. At a price of 550 Euros (~$616), it is not one of the cheapest models. The installed SSD and Windows 7 and Windows 10 Pro version are reflected in the price.

The TravelMate B117-M has been made with educational institutions in mind. The device's build is correspondingly robust. The little computer no longer has anything in common with its predecessor. The netbook is powered by an Intel Braswell processor. Its rivals are laptops like Dell's Inspiron 11 3162, Acer's Aspire One Cloudbook 11, and HP's Stream 11. Chromebooks like the Chromebook C740 and Medion's Akoya S2015 are also opponents.

The TravelMate's casing is made of matte, black plastic. The surfaces are lightly roughened. A plastic rim that protects the device from shocks frames the base unit. The laptop does not exhibit any weaknesses in either build or stability. The hinges are pulled tightly and keep the lid firmly in position. Acer states that the hinges have been tested for withstanding up to 25,000 openings/closings. A maintenance hatch that hides the solid stated drive is on the netbook's underside. The computer's battery cannot be removed.

The TravelMate is furnished with a matte, 11.6-inch screen. It has a native resolution of 1366x768 pixels. The brightness (214.9 cd/m²) is too low, but the contrast (574:1) can be called satisfactory. Positive: The screen never exhibited PWM flickering.

Acer's little netbook has been made for use in educational institutions. The robust casing proves this. The installed processor has enough computing power for basic office and Internet applications. The laptop always runs quietly and does not get excessively hot. The speedy SSD ensures a fast-running system. It is also possible to replace the SSD easily since the TravelMate has a maintenance hatch. The battery life is outstanding. This is supplemented with a very decent keyboard. The three-year manufacturer warranty should not be left unmentioned. The weak point of this laptop is again the screen; Acer installs a dark, viewing-angle dependent model.

However, our review sample is not really a bargain at a price of 550 Euros (~$616). The SSD and two Windows operating systems are reflected in the price. To save money, a look at the B117-M-P12K model might be worthwhile. It comes with a conventional (500 GB) HDD and without a Windows operating system. Adding the cost of a used Windows 7 license increases the price to approximately 330 Euros.

Breaking from tradition when it comes to smaller PC laptops, it makes no attempt to ape any other designs in the industry, unlike the Chromebook market, which are all aesthetic descendants of Apple’s MacBook Air, which costs $1,299 (about £1,129/AU$1,449. Lightweight, a mere 2.91 lbs (1.32 kg), the B115 comes with a roomy 500GB hard drive. It’s of a solid build, and while I wouldn’t call it rugged, it does feel built for the traveller.

The B115 is dramatically cheaper than our recently reviewed Lenovo Z40, a 14” model that costs $599. You can reason out that one is saving money on the B115 thanks to a lack of screen real estate. Comparing it with Acer’s laptop/tablet hybrid Aspire Switch 10, you’ll miss the Switch 10’s form factor, which was made for its touch screen.

Testing the battery life, the B115 scored 6 hours 19 minutes and 7 seconds on PCMark 8’s Home battery life test. The machine also lasted a good amount during standard usage. I reproducing a traveller’s routine, running the unit unplugged during business hours. It lasted from 9am to 12:15pm, then I put it to sleep for lunch, and then the battery lasted from 3 to 6:30pm, for a total of 6 & 3/4 hours, against their advertised 7. That testing included email, office software, and streaming music and video from YouTube and Netflix. The quality of said streaming video on Netflix was especially sharp, which earned Acer the “HD” qualifier they apply to the display.

In benchmark testing, the B115 scored a 1636 on the PCMark 8 Work Conventional test, including a video chat framerate of just fewer than 30 frames per second (FPS), which is definitely functional for work needs.

The biggest obstacle with the B115 is coming to it after having used anything better or larger. I could see being given this unit by a company looking out for its bottom line, but I could never see wanting to have this in my day to day life.

The B115 fits a full-sized keyboard in a small-form computer, but it just doesn’t feel right. In a week’s testing, I could not get used to this keyboard. While its keys don’t feel cheap, I had numerous instances of clicks not registering. Often times this wasn’t a problem with the keyboard or screen, but in fact with the speed & RAM of the computer. I’d click on an icon to load an app, and thanks to no feedback, I thought I didn’t register the click. Unfortunately, the process took so much time that when I’d click again, two instances of the desired effect would run.

I wanted to write this review entirely on the B115 unit, to replace my existing laptop with it for the duration of my testing. I took it through a series of tests and rigorous use, but I just could not stand using it for more than an hour at a time. It’s meant for a little usage here and there - editing a document, checking email, and anything else that isn’t completely hindered by its 11.6” screen. You get what you pay for, and it turns out $379 (about £243, AU$466) can only get you so far, even on Windows.

Acer Extensa 2520-59CD Notebook Review

Acer Extensa 2520-59CD Notebook Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery

Acer's Extensa is a basic 15.6-inch office laptop powered by a Skylake processor with battery such as Acer AL15A32 Battery, Acer KT.00403.025 Battery, Acer E5-422 Battery, Acer E5-772 Battery, Acer F5-572 Battery, Acer V3-575 Battery, Acer Extensa 2510 Battery, Acer Extensa 2511 Battery, Acer Extensa 2520 Battery, Acer P258-M Battery, Acer P257-M Battery, Acer TravelMate P277-M Battery. Devices such as HP's 250 G4, HP's 350 G2, and Lenovo's B50-50 belong to its circle of rivals.

The Extensa's build is identical to that of Acer's Aspire E5-552G that we have previously tested. Thus, we will not go into details about casing, connectivity, input devices or speakers. The corresponding information can be found in the review of the Aspire E5-552G.

The Extensa is based on the same casing as the Aspire E5-552G. The only differences are found in the base unit's upper side (Extensa: black; Aspire: gray). The laptop does not have a maintenance hatch, and the base tray has to be removed for accessing the innards. First, the DVD burner has to be taken out. Three flat-headed screws that have to be released are in the drive's bay. After that, all other screws on the underside have to be removed. Finally, the base tray can be removed with a putty knife.

With the Extensa 2520, Acer has a basic 15.6-inch office laptop in its lineup. The laptop has enough computing power for all common application scenarios. Our review sample is priced at approximately 550 Euros (~$618). Other configurations are also available.

The Extensa is powered by Intel's Core i5-6200U (Skylake) dual-core processor. The CPU is a power efficient ULV processor (TDP: 15 watts). The processor clocks at a base speed of 2.3 GHz, which can be boosted to 2.7 GHz (both cores) or 2.8 GHz (one core only) via Turbo. A look at our comparison chart reveals that the results of our CPU test lag behind the Core i5 processor's potentials. The CPU does not utilize its Turbo and does not even clock at its base speed. We cannot state any exact speeds. All tools (CPU-Z, HWInfo) reported that the CPU clocked at full speed. The results disagree with this assertion. The Core i5-6200U achieves roughly the same results as those we know from a Core i3-6100U.

Our practical Wi-Fi test simulates the load needed for opening websites. The "Balanced" profile is enabled, the laptop's energy saving features are disabled, and the screen's brightness is set to approximately 150 cd/m². The Extensa achieves a runtime of 5:15 hours.

Acer's Extensa 2520 is a basic, 15.6-inch office laptop. The installed processor should completely satisfy the needs of most users. As mentioned before, the Core i5 processor in our review sample could not completely develop its full computing power and is on the level of a Core i3-6100U processor. We assume that we got a faulty device. The laptop operates quietly over the entire load range and hardly heats up. The 500 GB hard drive provides enough storage capacity. Replacing the HDD with an SSD would be possible. However, the casing has to be opened for this since the laptop does not have a maintenance hatch. The installed keyboard made an overall good impression, and the battery life is also decent. On the other hand, the matte screen is not convincing – Acer has installed a dark, low-contrast, viewing angle dependent model.

We deem the laptop's price of approximately 550 Euros (~$618) as the biggest catch. At this price, the laptop cannot really be called cheap. Users who want to save money can opt for the Extensa 2520-58BE. This model is equipped with the same configuration as our review sample, but comes without a Windows operating system. Consequently, the laptop costs good 100 Euros (~$112) less at a price of 450 Euros (~$506).
