Gateway One ZX6971-UR31P

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Gateway Ac Adapter

Gateway has made some notable improvements to its all-in-one platform with the Gateway One ZX6971-UR31P. These include a faster quad core processor and the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports. The problem is that beyond the design and a few extra ports not enough has really changed to the system. It still relies on integrated graphics that put it behind much of the competition that isn't that much more expensive and the limited tilt does hurt the touchscreen's functionality compared to new units that can lay flat if necessary. Still, it is a decent value for those looking at an all-in-one for under $1000.

Pros

•Responsive Multitouch Display

•Affordable Price Tag

Cons

•Limited Display Tilt

•Integrated Graphics

•Could Really Use Blu-ray Drive

Description

The Gateway One ZX6971-UR31P with adapter like eMachines D520 AC adapter, eMachines E528 AC adapter, eMachines G520 AC adapter, Gateway LT1005 AC adapter, Gateway 0220A1990 AC adapter, Gateway ADP-50GB AC adapter, Gateway PA-1650-01 AC adapter, Gateway 0220A1890 AC adapter, Gateway SA70-3105 T4010 AC adapter, Gateway ADP-60DH AC adapter, Gateway Solo 9100 AC adapter, Gateway S7200 AC adapter is an upgrade of the ZX6961 but with a very different look at feel that defies the minor model number change. It also differentiates itself from the parent Acer Aspire One Z5. One of the ways that it does this is by offering a quad core Intel Core i5-2400S processor over a dual core Intel Core i3. In addition, it comes with 6GB of DDR3 memory for an overall smooth experience in Windows 7. This gives it a boost when dealing with more demanding tasks such as video editing or heavily multitasking. It is a bit slower than the processor in the Apple iMac 21-inch but it does cost several hundred less.

Storage features for the Gateway One ZX6971 has shifted a bit. The previous version came with a quite large 1.5TB hard drive but that has been reduced to a 1TB drive most likely the result of the hard drive production issues from late 2011. It still uses the same dual layer DVD burner for recording and playing back CD or DVD media. It would be nice to see a Blu-ray drive included but it likely would have pushed the price over $1000. One big change though is the inclusion of two USB 3.0 peripheral ports that were missing in the past version. This allows for easy upgrading of the storage space with high speed external drives.

While the external casing has changed, the 23-inch multitouch display panel remains pretty much unchanged. The touch function is surprisingly responsive and features a full 1920x1080 resolution for full 1080p HD video support. Gateway still includes its Portal software that enhances the touch capabilities of Windows 7 but has limited features compared with HP's TouchSmart. One disappointing aspect is the stand though that uses a simple behind the screen support that has a very limited tilt range unlike what Samsung and HP are producing in their latest touchscreen models. As for the graphics, they are still limited to using the Intel HD Graphics that are built into the Intel Core i5 processor. This is disappointing as the integrated option does not have sufficient 3D performance for even casual PC gaming. In addition, it can only accelerate non-3D applications for those that are compatible with the QuickSync feature.

One interesting change of the Gateway One ZX6971 is the power system. The previous ZX6961 was a bit on the large size but it had the advantage of not requiring an external power adapter brick. The new version has slimmed down the case but to do this, the power adapter had to be made external. Another change is that the base of the system now has a slot that resides under the display. Now it could theoretically be used to allow the keyboard to be stored under the display when not in use but the fit is very tight that it isn't practical.

Ultra Slim Notebook Power Adapter Review

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the IBM Ac Adapter

The power brick is small measuring only 4.1 inches long, 2.4 inches wide and a slim 0.7 inches thick. It is not much bigger than a 2.5 inch hard drive, which makes it easily portable for all of your power needs. The USNA95 is rated for 95 watts output and Cooler Master states that it has up to a 90% efficiency, which means less wasted power keeping your energy bills down when using it. The main thing that really sets this power adapter such as Lenovo Y510 AC adapter, Lenovo 3000 AC adapter, IBM lenovo 02K6900 AC adapter, IBM Lenovo 310 AC adapter, IBM Z60t AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad E530 AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad A20 AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad T40 AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad X40 AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad R60 AC adapter, IBM ThinkPad T60 AC adapter, Lenovo N100 AC adapter apart from the competition though, is the ability to charge other devices while charging your notebook. That’s right - Cooler Master has included a USB charging port so you can keep your music players, mobile phones, and PDA’s fully charged at the same time with only one power adapter. This means less clutter to carry around when traveling, by not having to carry a charger for each device you have. The USB port provides a whopping 1 amp and can charge devices up to 30% faster than a standard USB port on a computer. The charging is independent as well, meaning you can use it just to charge a USB device without having to have a computer connected to it or powered on as well.

There are a total of nine power tips included to charge your notebook, laptop or even netbook. The manufacturers include ACER, ASUS, HP, COMPAQ, BENQ, IBM, LENOVO, SONY, DELL, SAMSUNG, GATEWAY, TOSHIBA, NEC, and FUJITSU. To use, just select the correct tip for your system and plug it into the power tip cord, ensuring the flat sides match up. Then you are ready to use your Cooler Master USNA95 for all of your portable power needs.

To keep everything together for travel, Cooler Master has included a tote bag. Everything fits nice and snug inside and there is even room for you to place your small portable devices as well, keeping everything together and safe from loss.

When in operation there is an LED that signals what mode the power brick is in. When in normal use for powering your computer the LED is a green color. This verifies that the power adapter is on and providing power ready to charge. When you plug in a USB device to the charger, the status LED changes to red, notifying you that the USB device is in fact successfully charging. The LED will remain red until the USB device is removed.

Here are two shots showing you how easy it is to charge your devices. Notice with very little clutter I am able to charge my Samsung N130 netbook and my Motorola Droid phone at the same time. This keeps me productive without having to carry multiple chargers. You can see in the second picture that the mobile phone is still charging even when my netbook is powered off keeping full batteries on both.

Now that everything is set up I am ready to start putting this baby to the test.

The Cooler Master USNA95 was a surprising pleasure to have around with me day to day. The ability to charge multiple devices from one power adapter was more important than you can begin to imagine. Now I don't have to find a free outlet with more than one plug available to charge my computer and my other portable devices. For the time I used the USNA95 I have fallen in love with the ease of use and not having to carry around multiple chargers. I am able to charge both my netbook and cell phone in little over an hour, which keeps me on the go longer for work and play.

The price in my opinion, seems low for a charger that does so much. I would easily pay over $100 for this adapter, but it can be had for under $80, which makes it a necessity. If you use a portable computer I would recommend picking one up as your main adapter and keeping your OEM charger as a spare. The Cooler Master USNA95 will become your most prized mobile accessory that you will not want to go anywhere without it. In fact, I actually shelved my Samsung N130 netbook power adapter and exclusively carry the USNA95 everywhere now.

Pros:

•Ultra slim and light for portability

•Up to 90% efficiency

•USB charging port with 1 amp output

•Multiple charging tips for a wide variety of devices

•Charging LED indicator

•Carry bag included

MSI X79A-GD65 8D Review

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Msi Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Well the new Intel 2011 chips have finally been released and we are now starting to see some more motherboards coming out that are packed full of next generation feature sets, such as USB 3.0, Sata 6Gb/s, uEFI BIOS, and PCI-E 3.0. So have you been thinking about finally upgrading that aging system you are still trying to use to play games? Maybe you are big into video editing/rendering and use software on a daily basis that can make full usage of multiple CPU cores; well then the next generation of Intel processors may just be what you are looking for. If you have the coin to drop on one of the new chips, you need to start to look at the different boards that are out there that can unleash all of the power the 22nm cores can pack. Well one motherboard brand name that always jumps to mind when looking for a great feature set is MSI, I am very curious to see exactly what kind of features MSI has packed on their X79A-GD65 (8D) motherboard this go around.

When you take a look at the front of the packaging for the MSI X79A-GD65 (8D), the first thing that grabs my attention is the large Military Class III logo that is printed on the right hand side of the package, this is going to let you know that MSI has put the top notch components on the motherboard to help give you the best quality board and improved stability over some of the other motherboards out on the market. With the Military Class III branding, you know that you are going to find MIL-STD-810G Certified Components installed. When you take a look at the top left hand corner of the package, you are going to find MSI's logo printed with the MSI 3 Year Warranty logo printed right by it, which lets you know that you are going to get some of the best support for your motherboard if something were to ever go wrong with it. In the top right hand corner, you are going to find all of the badges for some of the features the MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) supports, such as NVIDIA SLI, ATI Crossfire-X, Windows 7, and Intel Core i7 CPUs. Along the bottom edge of the package you are going to find the X79A-GD65 (8D) logo printed in a nice holographic text with the Military Class Motherboard tag line printed above it. You are also going to find the PCI Express Gen3 and Click BIOS II logos printed on the package. When you flip it over to the back you are going to see a much more detailed listing of the features that MSI wants to let you know about such as DrMOS II, Hi-c CAP, Solid CAP, Super Charger, PCI Express Gen3, InstantOC, OC Genie II, and THX TruStudio PRO. I will get into a more detailed explanation of these features a little while later in the article.

Once you get the package opened up you are going to find a nice brown package that houses not only the MSI X79A-GD65 (8D), but the accessories as well. When you first open it up, you are going to see the motherboard in its anti-static bag to keep it protected for any thing that could possibly harm the board while you are opening it up. Once you move the motherboard out of the way, you are going to find the Quick Guide which covers all of the other accessories and has all of the other paperwork tucked away inside it. You are not only going to get a Drivers CD and the Quick Guide, but you are also going to get a few user manuals. Probably one of the coolest pieces of paper work you will find inside of the package is the very nice looking Certificate of Quality & Stability which has a very similar look to a diploma or degree.

After sorting though all of the paperwork, you finally get into the accessories that will help you get your system set up, like the USB 3.0 back plate, a SLI Bridge, some SATA Cables, 4-pin molex to SATA power adapters like Averatec 1020 90W Ac Adapter, Averatec 5200 90W Ac Adapter, LG P300 90W Ac Adapter, LG M1 Ac Adapter, LG LW60 Ac Adapter, LG R200 Ac Adapter, LG W1 Ac Adapter, MSI M510 Ac Adapter, MSI PR620 Ac Adapter, MSI VR610 Ac Adapter, MSI X480 Ac Adapter, MSI S250 Ac Adapter, eSATA power adapter backing plate, the rear I/O panel cover, and a few headers to help you organize your front panel connectors.

Now that we know exactly how the MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) is packaged and what it comes with, it's time to take a closer look at the motherboard itself to see what sets it apart from the others on the market.

The latest Intel launch brought the Intel X79 chipset and Sandy Bridge architecture to the Extreme side of the fence and out of the mainstream. With it came all the efficiencies and performance improvements garnered with the mainstream products to drive performance up to new levels. MSI has built on the base they have with their Z68 lineup and carried all of the features onto the X79A-GD65. MSI has built this board using its Military Class II build philosophy that includes dynamic switching Super Ferrite Chokes, Solid State tantalum-based Hi-C self-repairing capacitors, DrMos II and parts that meet Mil-STD 810G. What these components allow is for some spirited overclocking as well as long term stability or any combination in between. The original BIOS needed a little work and was quickly swapped for a newer version that smoothed everything out. It seems my 3960X is limited to just under 4.8Ghz and the X79A-GD65 was able to get me there without too much work. Just the same standard for the Sandy Bridge platform: bump the multiplier, tweak the bclock, set the volts, and go! Simple! If that little bit of work is just too much to tweak, there is MSI's fully functional OC Genie II One-touch overclocking tool. On an Intel platform, the OC Genie II is almost too easy to use and is the easiest one-step process to get an overclock out of the system. I found with the headroom available on the 3960X that the OC Genie II was a little conservative when the Turbo-Boosted speeds of the Core i7 3960X are 3.9Ghz. The OC Genie II delivered a solid 4.0GHz overclock, and just like every Intel MSI board I have tried over the past four years has proven perfectly stable under load. It really is a feather in MSI's cap that this tool has been so good for so long.

Overclocking and build philosophy kind of go hand in hand, but this is not all the MSI X79A-GD65 is about as it is a feature-rich board. It has support for USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, SATA 3, Quad Channel memory with 8 dimm slots, CrossfireX, Nvidia Tri-SLI and THX TruStudioPro, +3TB disk drives, USB Charging, and so much more. MSI's Click BIOS II is a drastic improvement over their prior implementations and coupled with the latest version of the Core Center utility gives the user a way to monitor and tweak the system from within the operating system. Priced at $299 the X79A-GD65 8D is not at the top nor bottom of the pricing ladder for an X79 board, but more comfortably packed right in the middle. Fully featured and offering great performance and overclocking ability for your dollar the MSI X79A-GD65 8D is one board to keep on the list while shopping for this new platform.

Toshiba USB Mobile LCD Monitor Review

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Toshiba Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

The Toshiba USB Mobile LCD Monitor is a mobile display designed to hit the pavement with hustling workers who need additional screen space, whether you're working from a hotel desk or airport lounge during a long layover. This $199 accessory provides 14 extra inches of screen real estate--and it weighs about as much as a 10-inch netbook. Should enterprising suitcase dwellers take the plunge?

The way the Toshiba USB Mobile LCD Monitor comes wrapped up in stylish-looking faux leather, you'd think it was a high-end tablet, not a 14-inch external screen. The case unfolds to become a stand for the display, so it looks cool, adds functionality, and helps protect the screen. The bezel is a shiny black plastic and the back is a matte texture.

Overall, Toshiba's mobile monitor looks much sleeker than the Field Monitor Pro, though the latter offers a sturdier metal stand. It's 13.4 x 9.4 x 0.6 inches for the Toshiba versus a larger 14 x 10.2 x 1.3 inches for the Field Monitor Pro. Factor in the Toshiba monitor's weight of 2.8 pounds (3.4 with the adapter), as opposed to the other display's 4.8 pounds (5 pounds with the adapter like Toshiba Satellite X200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba G15 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium A60 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A100 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Tecra L2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M20 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M65 Ac Adapter, Toshiba terca 8000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1900 Ac Adapter), and it's clear which one we'd stuff into a carry-on.

Along the front is a green LED power button along with brightness controls. A miniUSB port is on the left edge, and a power adapter port is on the right. Unlike the Field Monitor Pro and the Monitor2Go, the Mobile Monitor doesn't offer additional USB ports or a Kensington lock slot.

To test performance, we dragged windows from one display to the other, edited a spreadsheet in Google Docs, and watched a 720p YouTube video of the movie trailer for Hanna. For the most part, we noticed little to no latency with any of the notebooks. Window movement across displays was crisp and seamless, and there was no cursor freeze or load time editing our Google Doc spreadsheet or when composing e-mails.

We did notice slight stuttering video when we watched the Hanna trailer using the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11, Toshiba T235, and Toshiba NB505 netbook. Those systems respectively contain a low power Intel Core i3-U380, a Pentium U5400, and an Atom N455 processor, all chips built for moderate performance. However, the Field Monitor Pro stuttered even more when we used it to stream YouTube video and edit Google Docs with the Toshiba NB505 and Lenovo ThinkPad 11.

Those who wish to use the Toshiba Mobile Monitor with a netbook should note that many include low-performance Intel Atom processors and Windows 7 Starter, which only lets you mirror the display, not extend it. Still it's a useful tool for presenters. However, don't expect flawless playback if you plan to watch online video with the Mobile Monitor paired to a netbook or another system packing a low-performance CPU.

Road warriors who want a portable display that can hit the road as easily as a good business notebook should take a good look at the Toshiba USB Mobile LCD Monitor. It's easy to carry, affordable, and looks dapper in its leather-like carrying case and stand. While we recommend you purchase the power adapter to maximize the brightness, the Toshiba monitor is a cut above the Field Monitor Pro, a 15.4-inch alternative that costs $90 more, weighs nearly 1.5 pounds more, and performs poorly with less powerful notebooks. If you're to multitask on the road and look professional doing it, the Toshiba USB Mobile LCD Monitor is a good value.

All Lightweight Laptops Should Last 10+ Hours

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Samsung Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

In the rush to hook know-nothing consumers mindlessly scannning the shelves at retail, looking for shiny objects, too many notebook makers have forgotten the true meaning of “ultraportable” as they manufacturer systems that get little more than half a day’s battery life. Sure, everyone wants a notebook that’s wafer thin, blinged out with brushed metal or soft-touch rubber, and lighter than Kodak’s bank account, but not when that $1,000 system takes a siesta first thing after lunch. There’s only one solution: higher-capacity batteries.

With the noteworthy exception of the HP Folio 13, which lasted a solid 7 hours and 50 minutes on the LAPTOP Battery Test, all of the Ultrabook notebooks we’ve tested have gotten less than 7 hours of battery life, with ASUS’s UX31 lasting just 5-hours and 58 minutes and Acer’s pitiful S3 dying after only 4:23.

Ultrabooks aren’t alone in trading precious minutes of productivity for a smaller chassis. While not officially labeled as “Ultrabooks,” the MacBook Air 13-inch lasts just 6.5 hours while the new Samsung Series 9 endures for only 4:48. In LAPTOP’s tests, the average thin-and-light notebook (14-inches, less than 5 pounds) endures for a little over 6 hours while the average ultraportable (13-inches or less, lighter than 4 pounds) lasts just 6:39.

If those numbers don’t sound bad to you, let me put them in perspective. The LAPTOP Battery test we used to get the above runtimes measures a common, but not very taxing use case, surfing the web at 40 percent brightness and loading up a new page every 30 seconds. If you’re pushing up the brightness level or you want to do something more intense like crunching a video, viewing an HD movie, or playing a game, you can expect less endurance than we encountered. But even if your usage habits allow you to get a full 5 or 6 hours of life, that’s simply not enough endurance for real all-day use.

The standard battery life for any laptop that weighs less than 5 pounds should be 10 hours or more. Whether you’re working on an international flight, going from meeting to meeting at the office, or sitting on the couch at home with your lightweight notebook, you need that amount of time to avoid battery panic. Even if you’re not using the notebook for 10 consecutive hours, you ought to be able to use it on and off throughout the day, without even worrying about its charge level.

As I write this article, I’m sitting on my couch with my 13-inch notebook unplugged. In this location, I have relatively easy access to a wall socket, but I don’t plug in, because being tethered to the wall is still unpleasant as I have to worry about yanking the wire, sitting on the wire or watching my cats knock over the adapter such as Samsung RV411 Ac Adapter, Samsung 300E Ac Adapter, Samsung RV420 Ac Adapter, Samsung Q460 Ac Adapter, Samsung RV520 Ac Adapter, Samsung N220 Ac Adapter, Samsung E251 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-NB30 Ac Adapter, Samsung AD-9019 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP900X3A Ac Adapter, Samsung Q1 Ac Adapter, Samsung Q210 Ac Adapter. Though the system gets a full 5 hours of battery life under optimal conditions, I’m down under 50 percent after just a couple of hours of work and must start thinking about either plugging in or lowering the brightness to uncomfortable levels. I shouldn’t have to deal with that distraction.

When I’m in my office, carrying my notebook from conference room to conference room, I often have to carry my AC adapter with me and sit near an outlet or string my power cord across the room and hope nobody trips on it. Trade shows like CES are the biggest battery challenge of all, as I spend 12 to 14 hours a day running to a series of hotels and conventions centers writing articles and editing videos with no time at all to stop and recharge. I’ll often have to go out of my way or crouch down on a hard floor, just to find an outlet I can sit next to.

Smartphone companies are starting to get it. After a 2011 year in which manufacturers released a slew of 4G handsets with anemic endurance, Motorola recently showed its competitors the right way to build a device when it released the Droid RAZR Maxx with a high-capacity 3300 mAH battery on-board that allowed it to last through over 8 hours of continuous use. Compare that to phones like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, whose 1850 mAH battery only gave it enough juice to last 3 hours and 40 minutes on our test.

Notebook makers need to learn from Motorola’s example and beef up their battery offerings, even if that means charging more money for their products or increasing the chassis size. The longest-lasting notebook on the market, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X220 lasts a whopping 12 hours and 39 minutes with its extended 9-cell battery. The trade-off for moving up from its default battery is a 1-inch battery bump in the back and an additional .2 pounds of weight, well worth it for nearly 5 additional hours of battery life and the ability to leave your .5 pound AC adapter in the hotel room.

If you get the right kind of battery, you can even pack a lot of juice into a very small space. The RAZR Maxx, for example, is only .07 inches thicker than the original RAZR, yet gets nearly double its battery life. Sure, Motorola is charging $100 more for the thicker battery, but it’s worth it.

With phones, users expect to be able to leave their chargers at home, spend 16 hours using them on and off, and then plug in when they sleep at night. You ought to be able to do the same with a notebook and you could, if notebook makers would stop racing to make their products 0.2-inches thinner, 0.2 pounds lighter, and a few dollars cheaper and focus on what users really need from a lightweight laptop. As consumers, we need to support this effort by purchasing longer-lasting notebooks.

Integrate RFID To Sharpen Supply Chain Visibility

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

HP has used RFID technology since 2002 to tag cases and pallets of products to meet Wal-Mart and DoD mandates. In 2004, the company decided to start a pilot program that involved using RFID tags at the item level. There were many reasons for that decision, the biggest of which was to improve supply chain visibility. Pandini says, "In addition to improving supply chain visibility, we thought there were manufacturing efficiencies to be gained. RFID would give us a clearer view of where manufacturing bottlenecks were happening." There was another reason for HP to pilot this project. In addition to being an RFID user, HP is also an RFID vendor that provides inventory control and asset management solutions. The company planned to use the knowledge it gained from this pilot to further develop its own RFID products and services.

In order to perform a pilot project in the most efficient manner possible, HP chose its Sao Paolo, Brazil manufacturing headquarters location. "Sao Paolo was chosen because it has many of the supply chain points such as manufacturing, packing, shipping, and distribution located within a small geographic area," explains Pandini. The project required the cooperation of Flextronics and DHL in Sao Paolo — both partners of HP who make batterylaptop adapter such as HP Pavilion DM4t AC Adapter, HP Pavilion G4 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion G6 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 1000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N3000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV1000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE2000 AC Adapter, HP Mini 110-3100 AC Adapter, HP Mini 210-2100 AC Adapter, hp compaq dv2000 AC Adapter, HP Envy 14-1000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV4-1600 AC Adapter. Flextronics is a contract manufacturer that performs assembly of HP's printers, and DHL handles HP's distribution.

Impinj, Inc., the fabless semiconductor company whose patented Self-Adaptive Silicon® technology enables its high performance radio frequency identification (RFID) products, today announced the extension of its GrandPrix™ Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Gen 2 solution to include item-level tagging capability. Responding to increased demand from the global retail supply chain and other high-growth markets, Impinj has enhanced GrandPrix for tracking pharmaceuticals, apparel, CD/DVDs and many other high-value products. Conforming to EPCglobal's Gen 2 standard, GrandPrix is the first RFID system to provide a single infrastructure suitable for tagging items, cases and pallets, thus simplifying RFID installations and reducing system implementation costs without sacrificing system performance or functionality. Powered by Impinj's industry-leading Monza™ Gen 2 tag chip and Speedway™ reader with monostatic antenna technology, the GrandPrix item-level tagging solution also comprises a suite of patented, small-footprint tag antennas optimized for challenging item types or stocking conditions. For example, GrandPrix includes customized tag antennas for garments, DVDs and other stackable items, and items containing liquid or metals.

"Impinj is the first company to bring all the benefits of Gen 2 RFID to item-level tagging with tags as small as 9.0 mm," said Dr. William Colleran, president and CEO of Impinj. "Retailers want to implement RFID tags on items, cases and pallets using a single RFID infrastructure at all of their facilities worldwide, and we are delighted to be the first RFID systems provider to deliver the GrandPrix solution that meets all of those requirements."

Impinj has shipped more than 50 million Monza RFID chips, key components of the GrandPrix solution, to companies worldwide.

Dell Latitude ST

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Dell Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Dell-Latitude-ST-a-Windows-tablet.png">Dell is one of the largest laptop manufacturers in the world, and they've recently been trying to get into the mobile game, as well. Their 5 inch Streak smartphone wasn't as successful as they had hoped, and there doesn't seem to be any indication that they'll try to go at it again, but who knows.

Meanwhile, they've also been working their way into the tablets market, and after probably considering going with another Android powered device, they decided to stick with what they do best and release a Windows tablet, running on Intel's x86 Atom CPU, of course. They actually have quite a lot of experience in the area, since they are the manufacturer of the popular Latitude XT convertible tablet, which now spans three generation and is still pretty popular among artists and business professionals.

I'd say that it was just a matter of dropping the keyboard part and releasing it as a tablet, but their new Latitude ST tablet is a great device on its own, and it's a pretty good choice for any business exec or corporation, although Dell is targeting it towards schools and medical institutions as well (at this price, few will want it, though).

The Latitude ST looks pretty standard on the outside - it's a simple tablet with an unassuming black color, much like the Motorola Xoom or the Toshiba Thrive (it has a lot more in common with the latter, except for the chrome accents). It's pretty sturdy thanks to its metal frame and big Gorilla glass on the front (it covers the screen and the borders, as well) - it'll definitely hold up to normal everyday use and even abuse.

The display is a 10.1 inch, 1280×800 pixels unit with Wide View Angle and LED backlight that has an N-Trig digitizer, which supports multi touch and pressure sensitivity, but it has built up quite a negative reputation with HP and Dell customers, mostly because of the bad drivers both companies provide (just like they do for their graphics adapters such as Dell Latitude D600 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude XT AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 6000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1501 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron E1505 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 6400 AC Adapter, Dell studio 17 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X300 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude LS AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X1 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 2000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1526 AC Adapter and Ricoh internal card readers). Still, if the drivers are good this time around, the digitizer should provide a pretty good experience.

The other hardware is nothing impressive, especially considering that the Latitude XT is much more powerful at about the same price, but I suppose the small overall size warrants the decrease in performance. Intel's Atom Z670 CPU is working inside the new tablet, running at 1.5 GHz, which is enough to run most Windows 7 apps, but obviously, you won't be doing any movie editing on the touch screen anytime soon. The processor is also accompanied by 2 GB of DDR2 RAM and Intel's own Graphics Media Accelerator 600 video adapter, all of which combined consume less than 10 watts of power, which is good news for the tablet - the 30 Watts/hour battery should last about 6-7 hours of use.

The storage space is provided by a fast SSD drive with capacities of up to 128 GB - that's more than enough for a tablet, even if you're storing and editing a lot of documents. The Latitude ST also has a mono speaker, a 3.5mm audio jack, integrated microphone, a 5 megapixels camera on the back (a weird decision for a business tablet) and a 2 megapixels front facing camera that can also shoot 720p videos (excellent for HD video chat, actually). Then there's your usual Wifi, Bluetooth, Broadband adapter with GPS (optional) and a full sized USB and HDMI ports (just like the Thrive).

There's nothing to say about Windows 7 - it's a well-known OS and if you're buying this tablet for $2000+, you know that you need it. While the specs are pretty good, and the Latitude ST is a well-rounded tablet, it doesn't really justify the cost. Sure it may weigh only ~850 grams and be in a tablet form factor, but for the same price you can get a nice Latitude XT2, XT3, or Elitebook 2740p convertibles, which have more power and capabilities. Or you could just get a ViewSonic 10pro if you need a Windows 7 tablet for work.

Nokia Lumia 800 vs Dell Venue Pro

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Dell Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

The Nokia Lumia 800 is currently the most popular Windows Phone 7 smartphone, and with good reason - it has a great design, a very nice selection of hardware features under the hood and it was hyped beyond belief before it was released by Nokia, which has partnered with Microsoft to use their OS on all mainstream smartphones that they will release.

But while the first generation of Windows Phone 7 smartphones had a pretty poor selection of handsets, there was one device that stood out - the Dell Venue Pro, which has a great build quality, nice design, great hardware and a very nice portrait QWERTY keyboard that can rival that of a Blackberry. It's still on sale and it's cheaper than ever, so it makes sense to compare it with the most popular smartphone to see if it's a good choice for a first time Windows Phone 7 user.

Design

Sure, the unibody polycarbonate design of the Nokia Lumia 800 is very attractive, but the Dell Venue Pro is no sore loser and in many ways it's even better than Nokia's flagship. Dell's phone is often overlooked based on the name alone - somehow, "Dell" doesn't inspire confidence in the users' minds, partly because of the poor management of the Dell Streak Android phone, but mostly because their consumer laptops have always been known to break and their consumer customer support is pretty bad, as well (their business laptops and support are top of the line, though).

But the Venue Pro is really something - it has a very high quality build, with a lot of attention to the finish. The front has a thick scratch resistant glass, the back cover has a nice pattern engraved on it, the sides are chromed and the top and bottom have rubber inserts to make opening and closing the keyboard easy. The QWERTY keyboard is great, as well. However, all that makes the phone pretty thick (it's a whole 15 mm thick), which contrasts with the Lumia 800's 12mm sleek design.

Hardware features

Both smartphones have a good selection of features when it comes to the hardware. The Nokia Lumia 800 has a beautiful 3.7 inch, 800×480 pixels AMOLED display with Nokia's own ClearBlack technology (basically a darkened layer over the display), which makes the colors and contrast better. Inside the phone, you'll find all the features that should be present on a modern phone, including Wifi N, Bluetooth, GPS, DLNA, HSPA+ radio, 16 GB of onboard storage space and a great 8 megapixels camera with support for 720p video recording.

The Dell Venue Pro is not bad at all, either - it has a 4.1 inch AMOLED display which looks just as good as Nokia's, but with brighter colors and slightly worse black levels. The Wifi N, Bluetooth and GPS adapters like Dell Inspiron 15 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1545 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1750 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1210 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1000 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1200 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 7000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 3500 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 9200 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D620 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D820 AC Adapter, Dell XPS M1210 AC Adapter are there, as is the HSPA+ radio. The camera is a smaller 5 megapixels unit that also supports 720p video recording, and there's less onboard storage space - 8 GB, however you can upgrade that using a micro SD card (which should not be removed once inserted since Windows Phone 7 uses it as a main drive). That gives the Venue Pro a few points for those who need more storage space.

Performance

Performance wise, the second generation Lumia 800 is faster thanks to its 1.4 GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno 205 graphics adapter. The Venue Pro only has a 1 GHz processor and the older Adreno 200 GPU. Both phones have the same 512 MB of RAM, though. The difference in performance won't be very visible in everyday use, but the newer games and apps may lag or slow down sometimes on the Dell.

Software

Both smartphones run Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, which they received with an OTA update, and the OS runs great on both smartphones - the animations and transitions are smooth and fast on both handsets. I doubt either of these handsets will get an update to Windows Phone 8, but the Nokia Lumia 800 has the better chance if Microsoft decides that a single core processor and 512 MB is enough for Apollo.

Now, obviously on paper the Nokia Lumia 800 is better, but the Dell Venue Pro is not far behind and the hardware QWERTY keyboard, high build quality and the big AMOLED display are worth considering it. You'll be surprised to see that the Venue Pro is also half the price of the Lumia 800 - that makes it even more attractive, and if you're getting your first Windows Phone 7 handset, you won't be disappointed by the Dell, for sure.

Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6614

Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist
of the Acer Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

We've seen several laptops lately that peg the intersection of the desktop replacement and budget categories at around $700. The Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6614 is a bit steeper at $779.99 list, but don't dismiss it: For one thing, we've seen online resellers offering it for around $750. For another, the 15.6-inch Aspire is loaded with everything from Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) to a discrete Nvidia graphics adapter like Acer Aspire One 521 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 4551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 5251 AC Adapter, Acer TravelMate 8472 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 7551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1680 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 3000 AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 250 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 9100 AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 200 AC Adapter that actually passed our gaming tests at medium resolution and detail settings.

As you might guess from its model number, the Acer 5830TG-6614 is a refreshed version of the Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6402 ($799.99 direct, 3.5 stars) we tested in August. Besides a $20 price cut and the addition of WiDi 2.0—which beams the notebook's display to an HDTV equipped with an extra-cost ($100 or so) Belkin, D-Link, or Netgear adapter—the changes include slightly faster graphics and processing hardware.

Unchanged from August is the Aspire's handsome cobalt blue aluminum lid with chrome Acer logo and matching blue plastic palm rest; the black chiclet-style keys are framed in a silver aluminum keyboard surround. There's a numeric keypad, with small but dedicated Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys, to the right of the primary keys; the touchpad is centered under the latter (actually, under the space bar), so some users perceive it as being too far to the left. I had no complaints myself—I quite enjoyed typing on the laptop, and the touchpad, though a little small compared to some of the jumbo ones you see today, worked smoothly, with comfortable left and right buttons instead of invisible clickpad corners.

Measuring 1.2 by 14.9 by 9.8 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.4 pounds, the 5830TG-6614 has an appealingly angular design. The 15.6-inch widescreen has the same 1,366-by-768 resolution that's ubiquitous in the class—if you want more space, you'll have to either pay for the likes of the Dell XPS 15z ($1,534 direct, 4 stars) or opt for a 17.3-inch system such as the HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx ($699.99 list, 4 stars). Sufficient for viewing videos in 720p, the display offers a glossy finish and fairly narrow viewing angles. The laptop's audio is a good partner for those videos, with above-average sound from the Dolby Home Theater speakers mounted above the keyboard.

The Aspire strides to the front, however, in graphics tests, thanks to its 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 540M discrete graphics adapter. Running at 1,024-by-768 resolution with medium quality and detail settings, the Acer posted a playable 39.1 frames per second (fps) in Lost Planet 2 and a better-than-playable 58.1fps in Crysis, as well as nearing the impressive 10,000-point mark (9,551) in 3DMark06.

Nvidia's Optimus technology automatically switches from the GeForce adapter to the Core i5 chip's more placid integrated graphics when running visually undemanding applications, which boosts battery life. Indeed, though I'm by nature biased against batteries sealed inside laptop cases so they can't be swapped out, it's hard to criticize the Acer's too much, because it lasted a hardy 9 hours 1 minute in our MobileMark 2007 test—trailing its 5830TG-6402 predecessor (9:57) and the HP Pavilion (9:33), but besting the Asus (7:42) and Lenovo (5:30).

Overall, the Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6614 comes within a whisker of unseating the Asus U56E-BBL6 as our budget laptop Editors' Choice, the latter clinging to its title by dint of its lower price and removable battery. But if you're looking for an affordable desktop replacement that won't fold when you fire up a few games, the Acer is a strong candidate.

Dell XPS L502X review

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist
of the Dell Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Dell's XPS line has always been a showcase for the latest technologies, and this revision of its XPS 15 laptop is a perfect example. Here Dell combines an already excellent chassis with Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors to create a truly cutting-edge laptop.

As well as the latest Intel Core i5-2410M processor running at 2.3GHz, it has two fast USB3 ports and the latest Nvidia graphics card. A Full HD 1,920x1,080 screen, a Blu-ray drive and a built-in TV tuner mean you'll never be short of entertainment, especially with the JBL-branded speaker system to pump up the volume.

This is the same set of speakers as in the last XPS 15, and they are impressively loud and deep. The sound is augmented using Waves MaxxAudio, which can be controlled using the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the tray, and you'll want to reduce the MaxxBass setting to 50% to avoid unwanted rumblings, which is most apparent in bass-heavy dance tracks.

Dell hasn't bundled any TV viewing software, but then Windows 7's built-in Media Center is the best choice anyway. There's a small aerial in the box that comes with a clip so that you can mount it on top of the screen, though you'd be lucky to get a good picture using such an aerial in the UK; there's also an adaptor such as Dell pa-12 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 1420 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 300m AC adapter, Dell Latitude D620 AC adapter, Dell Vostro 1000 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron E1505 AC adapter, Dell 5U092 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 1150 AC adapter, Dell Studio 17 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 5150 AC adapter, Dell Latitude D820 AC adapter, Dell 9T215 AC adapter for a fixed aerial.

Picture quality from the Full HD screen was incredibly good, and if we had any complaints it would be that the colours are bordering on over vibrant. The LED-backlit screen is evenly lit and incredibly bright - at 50% brightness for our battery test, it was still as bright as other laptops at full brightness. It's practically as good as the OLED screens on smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S.

All this is due to its use of RGB LED backlights, rather than the white LEDs that most screens use. White LEDs are actually made up of a blue LED with yellow phosphor to make it appear white, but this leaves huge holes in the red and green parts of the spectrum. RGB LEDs make a purer white and render greens and reds far more accurately.

Performance from the Core i5-2410M was exemplary, scoring 112 overall and 124 in our single-threaded image-editing test. Considering that the benchmark score of 100 was set by a quad-core desktop processor a couple of years back, these results are deeply impressive, and there will be few applications that will slow the L502X down.

Toshiba Camileo P100 camcorder

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist
of the Toshiba Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

When I received Toshiba’s Camileo P100, it was “serious like” at first sight. This sporty pocket camcorder has plenty going for it. But it also turned out to be a little unreliable and hard to use.

Out of the box, things got off to a promising start. This sleek model's pistol-grip case fits snugly and securely in my right hand, unlike some candy-bar camcorders which can be easy to drop. I flipped open the LCD panel to reveal a spacious three-inch touch screen. I was pleasantly surprised to learn this model had a 5x optical zoom. Not long ago, most pocket camcorders were limited to 3x digital zoom. On the back panel, I found the Record Pause button, which lets you pause and restart your video recording without generating a slew of video clips. We’re seeing this useful feature show up in more camcorders, but it’s still rare in pocket models.

The Camileo P100 is slightly wider and thicker than most shoot-and-share models, but still measures a very pocket-able 4.4-by-2.4-by-2-inches, and weighs under 6 ounces complete with battery and SD memory card. It’s the same height and width of your iPhone, and almost as light.

So far, so great. Now for the “howevers.”

Great features; some gotchas

Looking at other features, the Camileo P100 offers a mixed bag. For video and still shooting, this model comes with exceptional optics, including auto-focus along with the optical zoom. Other standout features include 8MP JPEG still photos (16MP interpolated), and strong video light for low-light shooting. Indeed, the Camileo P100 turned in some of the best test results of any pocket camcorder we’ve tested, scoring Very Good in all video and still image categories and Good for the audio test. These results rival some of the larger, more expensive models we’ve tested.

When I filmed outside of my home, I was struck by how crisp the video looked from such a small camcorder, at least when I filmed in bright mid-afternoon light. The autumn reds and greens on the nearby maple trees appeared quite vivid—almost too rich. However, the video quality degraded rapidly when the light faded even just a little. Just after sunset, even with plenty of remaining light, trees, houses and other objects that looked very bright an hour before became mere silhouettes, and the auto-focus started adjusting constantly, vainly trying to find the right focal length. Shooting in low light, the Camileo P100’s auto-focus became a drawback. I couldn’t turn it off, and so ended up shooting video that’s frequently moving a little in and out of focus. The P100 comes with a relatively bright front-mounted video light. But like most such lights on small camcorders, it illuminates only a few feet in front of the lens, making it useful only for close-up shots.

The Camileo P100 is one of the first pocket camcorders to support SDXC memory cards. This means you can put up to 64GB in the camcorder, which lets you shoot a whopping 12 hours of full HD video. However, actual on-board memory is almost nil, giving you just a few moments of full HD video capture, and Toshiba does not bundle an SD card. Figure on spending $20 for a 4GB SD Card rated at Class 4, the minimum Class recommended for Full HD video.

With the Camileo P100, Toshiba bucks the annoying trend among pocket camcorder makers to entomb the battery in the case. Instead of forcing you to return the unit to the company to replace worn-out batteries, you can swap in a new pack. But don’t plan on long shooting sessions, unless you’re plugged into a power source. The Camileo P100’s lithium-ion battery lasted only an hour in our run-down tests, and took 7.5 hours to recharge when connected to my computer with the USB cable. I cut the recharge time down to a little under 4 hours using the supplied USB wall power adapter such as Toshiba Satellite X200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba G15 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium A60 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A100 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Tecra L2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M20 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M65 Ac Adapter, Toshiba terca 8000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1900 Ac Adapter.

The camcorder’s built-in file transfer utility (Camileo Uploader) and the bundled ArcSoft MediaImpression multimedia file management software work only in Windows, but I had no problem importing videos into iMovie and pictures into iPhoto on a MacBook Pro.

Macworld's buying advice

If you want some of the best full-light video quality available for under $200, along with an exceptional feature set, consider the Camileo P100—but only if you get a solid money-back guarantee so you have a chance to give this camcorder a thorough vetting. If you're looking for very good video quality in a pocket model, and are fine with the candy-bar form factor, consider Kodak’s PlaySport Zx3. It’s less expensive ($150), and ruggedized to boot.

Cooler Master USNA 95 Ultra Slim Notebook Adapter tested

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist
of the Fujitsu Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Today we’ll talk about USNA 95 - Ultra Slim Notebook Adapter and the name itself says it all. It’s a notebook adapter designed to be as slim as possible and even visually appealing while still performing the main task – supplying power. The adapter measures 6.2cm x 1.7cm x 10.4cm (W/H/D) and we’ve put it next to an SSD 2.5" disk for size comparison.

The specs list output rating of 95W (peak power output is at 150W), meaning that USNA 95 can charge pretty much anything – from small netbooks to gaming laptops. To make sure the adapter such as Advent 6311 AC adapter, Fujitsu Amilo L7300 AC adapter, Fujitsu CA01007-0760 AC adapter, Fujitsu FPCAC14 AC adapter, Fujitsu FMV-AC314 AC adapter, Fujitsu Amilo A6660 AC adapter, Fujitsu Amilo A6600 AC adapter, Fujitsu Amilo V8210 AC adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook T4010 AC adapter, Fujitsu Mobile AC adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 AC adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook N6220 AC adapter is compatible with various notebooks, Cooler Master provides 9 charger tips.

All you need to do before charging is use the appropriate tip and you’re set.

The easiest way to check compatibility is here. Note however that you shouldn’t regard the list as the ultimate truth list because it’s still incomplete and you might not find your device, despite potential compatibility. If your notebook isn’t in the list, you should check whether it supports DC 19V but contacting Cooler Master’s customer support department is probably the wisest way to go. Note however that certain notebooks can be powered via USNA 95 but it does not charge their battery (certain Dell notebooks apparently behave like this).

If you have a notebook with a large and heavy adapter and you carry it around often, then USNA 95 will be a godsend as it weighs in below 300 grams together with cables. Choiix, the company that helps CoolerMaster in designing new and improved peripherals is responsible for USNA 95’s design.

A really neat feature is the capability to simultaneously charge one notebook and one USB device (phone, mp3 player, iPod, PDA, etc.). Powerful 1Amp charges USB devices up to 30% faster than typical PC USB konektor. Furthermore, you can use USNA 95 to charge just the USB device, which can come in pretty handy when your laptop isn’t on or not at immediate reach.

USNA 95 comes with a LED lamp that glows green when it’s connected to AC power or when charging your notebook, and red when you connect a USB device.

In the package you'll find the USNA 95 adapter, a cable clip and power cord, the base that holds 9 tips, the user manual, a DC cable and a storage bag.

The verdict

We didn’t use any fancy special tests with USNA 95. Instead, we turned to the most practical of tests, everyday use. We used the USNA 95 with our Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Sa 3650 notebook, showed it to friends and tried it on their laptops as well. Just like us, everyone thought it to be a pretty cool gadget due to its compact size and compatibility with numerous standards.

Unlike standard adapters, which almost exclusively come in brick shape and are often tough to pack into a smaller backpack, USNA 95 ended up being our faithful and very light companion. Furthermore, being compact and light still doesn’t stop this gadget from offering more than standard notebook adapters – a USB port.

You might be thrown off by USNA 95’s MSRP of €54,54/$79.99, but if you’re often on the road with a backpack or a bag, you won’t be sorry. In fact, perhaps the most helpful scenarios we’ve encountered is when carrying three notebooks without having to carry three individual adapters.

Innergie mCube 90 Power Adapter put to the test

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist
of the Dell Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

At first we though this is just another battery charger that can cope with more than just one laptop plug, and luckily for Innergie, we were wrong.

The Innergie Mcube is an interesting universal adapter that will fit most laptops and we tried at least three different ones that worked just fine. However, it is not just that, it will charge your iPad / tablet or phone at the same time and in addition it is very compact and looks good.

This is not all, as this adapter has an attachable part, about two-thirds the length of a standard business card that can charge your device in car or airplane. We can tell you that this is really the smallest and lightest adapter like Dell pa-12 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 1420 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 300m AC adapter, Dell Latitude D620 AC adapter, Dell Vostro 1000 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron E1505 AC adapter, Dell 5U092 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 1150 AC adapter, Dell Studio 17 AC adapter, Dell Inspiron 5150 AC adapter, Dell Latitude D820 AC adapter, Dell 9T215 AC adapter that will charge your notebook on a plane or in a car, at least the smallest we've seen yet.

In addition to that the adapter has an USB slot and can charge just about anything that can be charged via a standard 5V USB port. The device claims four way built-in protection and we can confirm that during our testing non of electric devices got hurt. The specification claims that mCube 90 can offer over-current protection, over-voltage protection, output overload protection but we don't know the name of last missing protection. We also suspect that this device can protect you against bullies like Nelson from The Simpsons, but in that case you need to use it wisely and wipe your fingertips before you swing.

The mCube 90 itself weights 263 grams (9.23 oz.), measures 128.8 x 70 x 23.6mm (5.07"x2.76"x0.93") and has an output power of 65W continuous power and 90W peak power. The manufacturer claims that it should be enough for most notebooks up to 17-inch screen size. It should work as long as your laptop power requirement lays between 18-21 Volts, 70 Watt continuous power. The 15V to 17V notebooks will work too, there is a switch to chose one or the other. A DC output offers stable 19.5Volt DC/3.3A for notebooks or tablets and 5Volt DC/1A for portable devices via USB power. As you can imagine USB charging is much slower than the wall power adaptor charging but this is something that is common for all USB charging today.

The package itself is impressive. Despite the power charger with detachable air / car unit you get a detachable wall AC cable, Car (DC) input cable, Notebook (DC) output cable, carrying bag, airplane (DC) input cables, user manual and most importantly notebook power charger heads (tips).

Exchangeable notebook tips that should fit most brands on the market are included. Some of the names include Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, HP, IBM/ Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, so most users will be covered.

We have tried two brands that are not listed here, Alienware and MSI, and we can confirm that they work too. We also tried an Acer notebook that worked like a charm, all you need is to exchange the tip and you can charge just about any notebook you can think of.



When it comes to phones HTC phones as well as iPhone 3GS and 4G work and the list of compatible phones includes Blackberry, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson phones. We also tried Kindle 3, the latest Kindle ebook reader and this worked too, and we believe that many other USB devices will charge too. So, it works as it is supposed to.

Basically any phone that you might have, provided it can be charged by USB will most likely work on this device and all that in parallel with charging your notebook. So, the mCube 90 replaces your standard notebook charger it also replaces your phone charger, something that might get welcome by many frequent travelers. One less thing to carry around is always nice.

During our testing we charged Alienware M11x small gaming machine and Amazon Kindle at the same time. As you can imagine it worked like a charm. We also charged HTC HD2, iPhone 4, Iphone 3GS. LG Optimus 2X and this also worked. We tried MSI’s U200 12 inch notebook, some netbooks notebook and Acer latest 3D 15.4-inch gaming notebook and this worked too.

The charger does charges your battery relatively fast but due its small dimensions it tends to get quite hot in the process. It is nothing to be concerned but in the cold winter nights it will be a good way to get some warmth for your poor cold hands or feet. The only obstacle we found was the latest Alienware MX11 R3 that needs 90W. It did charge it, but at the same time it got super hot. Innergy told us that new revision of the charger that you can buy in the shop today, fixes the issue.

Conclusion

To sum up, this device will be interesting for two kinds of customers, first being frequent travelers that need the notebook and USB power all the time. It fits in any bag, its universal and it can charge your kindle, phone, bluetooth key, notebook, mp3 & iPod, precious iPad and or Android tablet. This is definitely an all-in-one solution that even covers planes and cars.

The second group that could consider the mCube are customers who need to buy a replacement charger for their notebook. This one will do quite well, but it will also offer some additional functionality.

We need to remind you that charging over USB is naturally slower but it will eventually charge your device. One can argue that you can charge your phone, Kindle or iPad via notebook USB, but this is definitely going to be an even slower choice.

Such a versatile design and great functionality comes with a price. We are talking about a relatively saucy $119.99 in the US, €119 in the EU or around the same amount of British pounds (£119) for the device. This is the suggested retail price but Amazon Germany sells one for €87.64 and Scan in UK sells it for £73 which makes it much more attractive.

It is not the cheapest thing around but it’s worth your attention. A simple airplane or car converter usually sells for some $50 to $60, or the equivalent in pounds or euro. It’s a nice device and it your are in the need for a device that can charge most notebooks, phones, PSPs, DS Lite consoles, tablets, bluetooth stuff or anything else that charges via USB. We can warmly recommend it although it won’t come chap but. The design looks great, the device is silent and can quickly charge your device(s) and also double as a foot warmer.

Welcome to a Ac Adapter specialist
of the Acer Ac Adapter   First post by: www.itsbattery.com

Sonnet Technologies today announced that its new Echo(TM) ExpressCard(R)/34 Thunderbolt(TM) Adapter is now shipping and available for purchase. The adapter enables users of computers equipped with a Thunderbolt port, including the latest Apple(R) iMac(R), Mac(R) mini, MacBook Air(R), and MacBook(R) Pro models, to connect seamlessly with compatible ExpressCard/34 cards from Sonnet and other manufacturers. Originally intended for notebook computers, ExpressCard/34 adapters offer users additional connectivity and functionality beyond what is available through their computers' stock configuration.

"With our Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter such as Acer Aspire One 521 AC adapter, Acer Aspire One D260 AC adapter, Acer Aspire 5690 AC adapter, Acer Aspire 5920 AC adapter, Acer Extensa 900 AC adapter, Acer Aspire 9520 AC adapter, Acer PA-1650-02 AC adapter, Acer ADP-90CD BB AC adapter, Acer Aspire AS1410 AC adapter, Acer ADP-120ZB BB AC adapter, Acer Aspire 5100 AC adapter, Acer Aspire 5580 AC adapter, users can now extend the capabilities of their Thunderbolt Technology-equipped Macs like never before. With a single Thunderbolt adapter, they can instantly add connectivity to their computers, whether increasing the number of ports, incorporating new interfaces, or adding peripheral devices that otherwise could not connect through a Thunderbolt port," said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. "By hot-plugging and swapping ExpressCard/34 cards, users have unprecedented flexibility to change interfaces and devices when needed."

The new ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter supports most PCI Express(R)-based Sonnet professional ExpressCard/34 adapters and specialty adapters from other manufacturers. Supported cards range from CompactFlash(R) and SDXC(TM) UHS-I card readers to FireWire(R) 800 and eSATA adapters. The new Thunderbolt adapter also supports ExpressCard adapters supplied with specialty devices such as the AJA(R) Io Express. Sonnet expects other manufacturers' ExpressCard/34 products to become compatible as their drivers are updated to be Thunderbolt technology-aware.

Since announcing this product, Sonnet has received many inquiries about this product's compatibility with SxS(TM) memory cards, because they are designed to interface with an ExpressCard/34 slot. Based on testing in Sonnet's lab, it is expected that the Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter will be fully compatible with, and transfer data at full speed from SxS memory cards once Sony makes available an updated driver that is Thunderbolt technology-aware.

Developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple, Thunderbolt technology supports high-performance data services and high-resolution displays through a single compact port. The Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter supports PCI Express 1.1 technology with 2.5Gbps throughput in both directions. The Sonnet adapter connects directly to a computer or at the end of a Thunderbolt device chain with a Thunderbolt cable (available at the Apple Store(R)).

The Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter (part number ECHO-E34) is compatible with all Apple computers running Mac OS(R) X and equipped with Thunderbolt ports. It is now available through Sonnet's distribution channel at a suggested retail price of $149.95.
