Which DELL suits you?

After doing your research, you have decided that you get a DELL (congratulations!) What the hell is that? This will be a know-it-all Inspiron, a more powerful and more high-quality XPS or commercial focus latitude?

We’re here to help you decide which Dell is right for you. Below, we explain the differences between the company’s laptop lines and point out the most important systems in each.

The Numbers Game

But before we get down to the wild and wonderful world of Dell naming conventions, let’s talk about series numbers. While Dell has several brands under its belt, some — like the Inspiron and Latitude — are also broken down by series numbers such as 3000, 5000 and 7000. Systems in the 3000 series are typically entry-level devices with lower-end components and a price tag to match, while 5000-series laptops cover mid-tier configurations. Consumers who are in search of a high-end system will want to check out notebooks with 7000-series stamps, since they typically offer premium build materials as well as top-of-the line specs.

XPS: Best Overall (If Budget Allows)

The crème de la crème of Dell’s consumer laptops, the XPS line is all about high-end looks, with specs and pricing to match. Targeting power users and creative professionals alike, the XPS is Dell’s answer to Apple’s MacBook Pro, offering high-resolution displays and speedy performance — capabilities that are perfect for video or photo editing. The following are the best Dell XPS laptops:

• XPS 13: Our favorite consumer laptop of any kind, this attractive laptop is ideal for work or play, and it has plenty of battery life for both. Starting at $799, the XPS 13 weighs just 2.7 pounds, has a stunning screen and lasts close to 14 hours on a charge.
• XPS 13 2-in-1: The 2-in-1 version of the XPS 13 has the same stunning screen, but flips around for use as a tablet. It starts at $979, but has a less powerful Y-series Intel CPU as opposed to the U-series processor found in the regular XPS 13.
• XPS 15: The $999 XPS 15 is a high-end 15-inch laptop that offers 10 hours of Dell xps m1530 laptop battery life, strong performance, solid build and good looks. It delivers serious productivity as well the graphic oomph that serious artists need.

Inspiron: Good for Mainstream Consumers on a Budget

Inspirons are the wide-ranging brand for Dell’s general-purpose consumer laptops, and they come in a variety of sizes, designs and price ranges. These laptops are definitely not made for business, nor do they have the premium features of the pricier XPS line. Here are some of the best Inspirons:

• Inspiron 17 7000 2-in-1: One of the largest 2-in-1s on the market, this bend-back behemoth is ideal for home users who like to do media consumption.
• Inspiron 13 and 15 7000 2-in-1: These premium 2-in-1s are more portable than the 17-inch device, but they still offer sharp screens and solid performance.
• Inspiron 15 7000: An attractive gaming PC that costs a lot less than the company’s Alienware laptops, the Inspiron 15 7000 is great for gamers who are on a budget.

 

Alienware: Good for Gamers

Featuring flashy customizable light shows, powerful specs and gorgeous displays, Alienware laptops are the gold standard for gaming. These systems are available in three main sizes that can be configured to your specific gaming needs. The best models are:

• Alienware 13 R3 OLED: The world’s smallest VR-ready laptop, the Alienware 13 is just as powerful as its bigger brethren, and it has a show-stopping OLED display to boot.
• Alienware 15 R3: Slimmer, lighter and VR ready, the Alienware 15 hits the gaming sweet spot, offering decent portability with mid-tier gaming and multitasking performance.
• Alienware 17 R4: Need desktop-level power, but don’t have the space? This 17-inch monster can deliver all the power you need and then some, especially with the optional graphics amplifier.

Latitude: Good for Business

A true business line, Latitudes are available in different designs, sizes and price ranges. They are built to withstand the rigors of work, and most have some degree of rugged certification and a number of security features that include TPM, vPro and optional fingerprint readers. Some of the best Latitudes are:

• Latitude 5480: An ultraportable with speedy performance, almost 12 hours of Dell latitude d830 notebook battery life and a durable, chassis.
• Latitude 7280: This highly durable 12-inch laptop is made for life on the road, with over 12 hours of battery life with an extended battery,, solid performance and a durable design.
• Latitude E5570: A bit larger and heavier than the E7000 series, this semiconvertible laptop is ideal for people who are co-working on projects or giving presentations.

Precision: Good for Engineers, Architects and Designers

Outfitted with high-end components like Nvidia Quadro graphics and Intel Xeon CPUs, these pricey mobile workstations can handle the rigors of mechanical design, engineering simulations or animations without breaking a sweat. Some of the best Precisions are:

• Precision 5520: Remarkably svelte for a workstation, this premium notebook offers stellar performance with an optional 4K display.
• Precision 3520: A strong desktop replacement that’s ideal for designers, architects and engineers, this laptop is a powerful, capable workstation with Dell precision m20 battery life that will last through the workday.
• Precision 7510: Highly customizable, this premium laptop is great for banging out massive spreadsheets or running AutoCAD.

Chromebook: Good for Students, Business Professionals and Social Media Mavens

Education, business, multimedia — you name it and Dell probably has a Chromebook for it. Despite being limited to using Google’s Chrome OS, Chromebooks have found great success in classrooms and boardrooms because of their affordability, portability and ease of use. However, due to their affordability, Chromebooks are typically hamstrung by weak components.

• Chromebook 11: This system is MIL-STD-810G-tested to withstand drops and shocks, and it’s about as kid-proof as you can get. Thanks to over 10 hours of battery life, the laptop will last through the school day and a few extracurricular activities.
• Chromebook 3189 Education 2-in-1: This 11.6-inch convertible has a touch screen that’s perfect for interacting with Android apps. Its spill-proof keyboard and rubberized edges should keep it from getting too beat up at school.

Best Practices on Maintaining Laptop Battery Life

Every laptop users want to use their notebook batteries for as long as possible and in a way that yields greatest backup time. No matter the brand (if it is a Dell laptop, or a Toshiba battery, etc…) a spare laptop battery pack is quite expensive – which is the more reason why it is important to take care of your laptop batteries.

Best Advices On Maintaining Laptop Battery Capacity and Life

The laptop battery monitoring is an integral component of the laptop because it powers up the mobile PC. The laptop battery is the one that makes a laptop portable. Sure you can bring the AC adaptor but is an AC outlet always available? This is the reason why it is important to take care of the laptop’s battery and prolong its lifespan as much as possible.

As crazy as it sound but this tip is the most important and is most applicable at home. Just imagine, sitting at your room, planning to visit facebook or chat with your friends, your laptop’s juice is running low, you plugged in the power cord, you stayed there for three hours or worse, forgot to remove the cord. UH-OH, pretty soon you’ll notice that 3-hour 100%-charge battery capacity goes down to, let’s just say, not acceptable ranges.

Why is this so? First reason is high temperature. Try touching the laptop’s base after long usage, HOT isn’t it. Now, look at the location of the battery, got the big picture? High temperature or heat quickly deteriorates the lifespan of the battery. The heat produced by the main unit and the electric power flowing into the battery will make the battery scream for mercy if only it can.

Still not convinced? A good analogy will be a mobile phone. Most mobile phones uses Li-ion Toshiba pa3534u-1brs batteries and as instructed or advised on the user’s manual to charge only when the battery is low due to frequent charging may damage or weaken the batteries life span.

Notice that warning message saying to plug in the power cord because the power remaining on the battery is only 5 or 10%, guess what, don’t ignore it. Not only because you might lose your work but it is actually advisable for Li-ion batteries to be charged at these level rather than to be charged from a fully drained state. Also remember to charge it to 100%. Not 99, 95, but 100.

Just remember, if your laptop is important to you and your work, the laptop battery is too.

Cordless Power Tool Battery Types and Properties

At BattAussie.com, we are pleased to supply high quality cordless drill batteries for the leading manufacturers of power tools such as DeWalt, Makita, Decker, Craftsman and more at great prices.

If you plan on buying a cordless drill, then the most important element will be the battery type that you decide to go for. If you use cordless drills then essentially they will either use;

• Nickel Cadmium batteries (Referred to as NiCd)
• Nickel Metal Hydroxide batteries (referred to as NiMH)
• Lithium Ion batteries (Referred to as Li-Ion)

All of the top brands like Dewalt and Makita will use these types of tool batteries. We shall look at the differences below, but it is worth mentioning at this stage, that these also come in different sizes. These sizes will have properties such as:

• Voltage
• Amperes
• Watts

It is the combination of the above three properties that determines the actual power and torque of your cordless drill. It is also the type of battery that will determine how long the Makita 1422 Drill Battery will last without needing to be re-charged. the best way to think of the properties of a battery is:

• Its capacity
• Its storage properties
• Its charge time

Although there are many features to consider when buying a cordless drill, the battery should be your number one priority. It is the same is you plan to remove a Makita BL1830 Drill Battery and replace it with a new one. In my humble opinion the power tool battery type you choose is as important as buying the actual drill itself.

A worthwhile desktop replacement: Dell Inspiron 17 7778 laptop

Gigantic Dell Inspiron 17 7778 2-in-1 laptop can handle just about any everyday task you throw at it.

Dell recently refreshed its Inspiron notebook line with a new batch of 2-in-1s that come in a variety of configurations and sizes. Within the line’s flagship 7000 series, the 17-inch models are held up as “high-performance,” compared to their 13- and 15-inch kin.

Aside from its convertability, the 17-inch model has moderately high specs and is also reasonably thin for a desktop-replacement notebook. It’s a bit chunky at six pounds, but that’s a pound less than the curvaceous HP Envy 17 with hp 593554-001 extended laptop battery. Its curved aluminum chassis makes it feel thinner than its .8-inch profile. To put its size in context, the super-thin Dell XPS 15 is .66-inch thick, so the Inspiron is just a tad more substantial.

Laptop Battery Life

One of the benefits of huge laptops is that they usually hold huge laptop batteries, but with the current trend of thinner-and-lighter, battery size often takes a backseat. With a laptop this size, which isn’t likely to be used for regular or extended travel, that might not be such a big deal.

Dell says this particular configuration of its Inspiron 17 is good for up to 7 hours, 25 minutes, which is a decent runtime for a notebook of any size. Unfortunately, in our 4K video rundown test we only achieved roughly 4.8 hours, or 293 minutes. That’s still respectable for a notebook that might be moved from room to room, and it will certainly get you through a movie or two on a long flight—of course, whether this notebook would even fit on a tray table is a different story.

For everyday work, this Inspiron handles itself just fine. At the heart of everything is an Intel Core i7-6500U, a Skylake CPU with two cores and Hyper-Threading that runs at 2.5GHz stock and can boost to 3.1GHz. It’s paired with 16GB of DDR4 memory, and graphics power is provided by a discrete Nvidia GTX 940MX module that has a tiny 64-bit memory bus and 384 shader cores. It’s a low-end part that’s only useful for light gaming, but it still offers a lot more muscle than integrated graphics.

Overall the Inspiron 7000 package is quite effective, though it’s questionable whether a 2-in-1 format makes sense on a device this size. Still, it’s nice to have that as an option. For daily desktop tasks it’s certainly fast enough. With its SSD and Skylake CPU, we never experienced any slowdowns, and the keyboard and trackpad are excellent.

Easy Ways to Extend Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Laptop Battery Life

Lenovo  thinkpad laptop battery can be set up for maximum runtime (hours), or for maximum lifespan before it must be replaced (years). The choice is yours, but with today’s battery technologies, you can’t have both at the same time.

Laptop computers are our gateways to all things online. Your high-powered Lenovo Thinkpad notebook will follow you from home to office to coffee shops and back, hour after hour…as long as you take a few steps to maximize the notebook battery’s power.

How to Maximize Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Laptop Battery Life

1. Prevent updates from running on battery power

Virus scanners, extension updates and other regularly scheduled tasks can sap precious juice while you’re unplugged. Change your settings so these tasks will only run when your laptop is plugged in to a power source.

2. Modify your Power Plan settings

Many of the most efficient settings—for sleep mode, screen brightness, wireless adapters and more—can be set to adjust automatically. In Windows 8.1, you can choose from two power-saving plans:

1. Balanced: Offers full performance when you need it and saves power when you don’t. This is the plan for most people.
2. Power Saver: Reduces performance and screen brightness to help get more from a single charge.

To view and select a plan, swipe in from the right edge of the screen, click or tap Search, type Power Options, then choose the plan you want to use.

3. Turn down the brightness on your screen

Your screen backlight uses a lot of Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery juice, so turn it down to the lowest level you can comfortably handle. If your system doesn’t have a button or dial, you’ll need to turn off the automatic adjustment feature before reducing brightness.

4. Turn off Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a powerful technology, but leaving it on at all times means using the battery. Get in the habit of turning Bluetooth off when it’s not in use to get more power from your Lenovo thinkpad r61 battery.

5. Turn off or unplug unneeded devices

Many USB devices eat up battery power even when idle. Unplug headphones and flash drives when not in use and consider replacing your mouse with a touchpad or tablet pen.

Laptop AC Adapters Knowledge Base and Power Adapter Purchase Tips

An AC adapter/Laptop Charger is an external power supply used with devices that run on batteries or have no other power source. Laptop AC adapters help reduce the size of a laptop computer by alleviating the need for a standard sized power supply. As shown in the image, an AC adapter is made up of a central unit which draws power from an outlet, and a second cord which plugs into the notebook PC.

Each AC adapter has a specific power rating, measured in volts or watts, that it can handle and output to an electronic device. Because of the power rating and the type of plug on the end, an AC adapter is not universal and can only be used with devices with the same requirements and connector.

All BattAussie laptop chargers enjoy 1-Year Warranty, undergo strict quality control and safety checks, you can use it easy! BattAussie’s High Reliability replacement Toshiba PA3516E-1AC3 ac adapter for Laptop & Notebook Computers, provides your laptop with safe and reliable power.

If necessary, a universal AC adapter can be used, which is designed to work with many devices, having multiple types and sizes of plugs for connectivity to those devices. A universal AC adapter may also have a voltage or wattage range that it can output, like 100 volts to 240 volts or 70 watts to 125 watts, providing for a greater range of compatible devices.

Before buying, Please check it ,Make sure you get a right charger

1. Check the output of your original laptop adapter
2. Check the bootom of your laptop to get your original laptop charger DC
