Laptop computers-New or old laptop?

Laptop computers-New or old laptop
Someone ask me why I also write a story about an 4-5 years old laptop although its not new. For me, if someone ask me that quesiton, he or she didnt understand what is the true passion of a laptop lover. A person who love to talk about laptop will never comments wheters the laptop is old or new.

Lets see passionate car lover for example. He or she will be so passionate telling stories about cars, new cars, classic cars and old cars. As long as a story makes us passionate, Its worth to post it, write about it and talk about it. I love to write about old laptop too, but I focus more on new laptop. Doesnt mean that I'm trying to ignore old laptops.

Laptop computers-Paper laptop

Paper laptop from recycled paper

Paper laptop? Naaahh..never heard of it. How can be it all paper? Paper laptops can be easily damaged, water sensitive and will go ot of shape within weeks, or even days!

This idea of paper laptop is good. But, it needs plastic parts for its motherboard, battery, USB ports, Wifi ports and some small corners to pluck in screws of its hard drive. Other wise, its hard drive may falls out and damaged.

However, i support this idea. The outher body of laptop can be made of recyable paper but not the inside. Other than recycleable, its paper body can be designed with many type of creative design our arts can produce. Its skin can be changed regularly similar to a baby diapers, better prepare some money for it.

If the keyboard made from paper, it will becomes out of shape within hours because of stream of sweat runs out from our fingers. Hmm..paper laptops are not recommended for hardcore bloggers and rugged tech workers.

Laptop computers-Kareena Kapoor laptops

A branded laptop maker from Japanese had chosen Kareena Kapor to become their model in laptop advertising campaign. The same laptop company had chosen Britney Spears from Hollywood to represent the their branded laptop. So, it Britney from Hollywood, Kareena from Bollywood. How wonderful! The company choose Kareena because of her "hour glass body".

However, news source from StardutstIndia didnt say briefly the name of the laptop maker company, call it by the name "Japanese laptop maker" which is a little bit confusing. Is it Fujitsu, Asus or Sony? I will dig deeply about this matter letter, making a room for you to wait for a while. Thanks for stay tuned!

Acer laptops - Acer Timeline new series use Windows 7

Acer laptops - Acer Timeline

Before the launch of Windows 7, the last versions of Acer Timeline was installed with Windows Vista, an operating system from Microsoft.

News report from AnandTech says that Acer installs Windows 7 operating system into its new line of laptops in Timeline series - namely Timeline 1810 (AS1810T), Timeline 3810 (AS3810T/As3810Z), Timeline 4810 (AS4810T) Timeline 5810 (AS5810TZ). With Windows 7, Acer laptops user has more battery life and faster performance than using Windows Vista. The letter "T" is code name for "Timeline".

Although using Windows XP will give same long battery life when using Windows 7, i suggest you to try Windows 7. Windows XP is too old for us to use.

One factor to be considered is, many 3rd prty softwares out there compatible most with Windows XP. I cannot guarantee if those software compatible enough with Windows 7 in Acer laptops. Maybe it will take 6 to 7 months for 3rd party software to be fully compatible with Windows 7.

What is 3rd party software anyway? It was a software contained in CD or DVD, produced by another manufacturer other than Microsoft. Example for 3rd prty software are games CD, utitlities software, language software, antivirus software, design software, office software, productivity software.

Acer will Dell in selling computers

The CEO of Acer, Gianfranco Lanci said that Acer is now on track to surpass Dell in selling computers. Right now Dell is most famous computer seller around the world due to its direct-marketing style and very good customer support via Dell's online support site, Twitter or even at Dell store. Acer comes close to that statistic. Acer is leading computer brand in Malaysia - schools, professionals and business entities turning their focus to Acer for its low proced laptops, low proces replacement parts and low service costs. Dell is good to, only a few Malaysian computer outlet brave enough to sell Dell computers. I dont know why, but most Dell computers is quite expensive, its replacement parts and service cost is expensive too. Acer is fast in delivering cheap laptops - from the fact that Aspire One gain massive popularity.
