Acer Predator Helios 300 Laptop

Acer Predator Helios 300 Laptop

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery

Acer offers the Predator Helios 300 in several configurations spanning both 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch display sizes. We’re reviewing the entry-level 15-inch version with battery such as Acer AS16A5K Battery, Acer AC14B3K 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. Here’s what’s inside:
•CPU: Core i7-7700HQ
•GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
•RAM: 16GB DDR4/2400
•Storage: 256GB M.2 SSD
•Wireless: 802.11ac Wi-Fi
•Display: 15.6-inch 1920x1080 60Hz IPS
•Ports: 2x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, 1x USB 3.1 Type-C, HDMI, SD card reader, ethernet, headphone jack, lock slot
•Weight: 5 pounds, 7.9 ounces, or 7 pounds with power brick
•Dimensions: 15.4 x 10.5 x 1.1 inches
•Webcam: 720p
•Price: $1,100

The screen isn’t dark enough to dissuade, though, and it’s the only semi-issue of note in the Acer Predator Helios 300. This is a great notebook.

You don’t see gaming laptops this well-rounded going at such a competitive price very often. Acer loaded the Helios 300 with more potent hardware than usual for this cost tier, paired it with a comfortable keyboard and touchpad combo, then pulled it all together into a fairly portable package that won’t break your back.

As far as alternatives go, the PowerSpec 15 moves up to a full-fat GTX 1070, a G-Sync display, and a supplementary 1TB hard drive for only $200 more. That’s a hell of a deal too, but it makes some compromises to hit that price. It’s a big, heavy, ugly laptop that’s only available in-store at Micro Center, plus you need to jump through arcane hoops to activate G-Sync (which nukes the laptop’s battery life). The $900 Dell Inspiron 15 7000 is another option, but it uses a lesser-powered CPU and GPU to hit its sub-$1,000 price point. The GTX 1050 Ti inside will run most games at 1080p, but not at maxed-out graphics options, and it's not very future-proof.

This comfy-to-carry notebook delivers a superb 1080p gaming experience and absolutely oozes value. If I needed to buy a gaming laptop today, the Acer Predator Helios 300 would get my money (though I’d augment its paltry 256GB of storage with another SSD or external drive). Highly recommended.

ASUS ROG Strix GL503V Scar Edition Gaming Laptop

ASUS ROG Strix GL503V Scar Edition Gaming Laptop

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

Asus designs its Republic of Gamers line of laptops for gamers of all budgets and needs, and it recently introduced two new "Strix" variants, one of which I'm reviewing here. This is the Scar Edition with battery like 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, which is designed for FPS gamers (the other version, for MOBA gamers, is dubbed the Hero). What differentiates the Scar edition, and makes it suitable for fans of first person shooters, is its blistering 144Hz refresh rate and inclusion of Nvidia's G-Sync technology.

Despite these awesome specs, it's still rocking an IPS panel, so you don't need to give up on viewing angles or color accuracy for a high refresh rate. Throw in a GTX 1070 GPU and you've got yourself a worthy contender to the mobile gaming throne. Let's see if it's the heir apparent, or another wannabe.

Here are the specifications of the Asus ROG Strix I am specifically evaluating here:
•Model: ASUS ROG Strix GL503V
•Display: 15.-inch FHD (1920x1080) 144Hz IPS
•Processor: Intel Core i7-7700HQ at 2.8GHz (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
•Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1070 (8GB GDDR5)
•Memory: 16GB LPDDR4
•OS: Windows 10 Home
•OS Drive: 256GB PCIe SSD
•Storage: 1TB FireCuda SSHD (8GB SSD Cache)
•Webcam: 720p
•Ports: 1 x headphone-out and audio-in combo jack, 1 x Ethernet port, 1 x HDMI, 1 x mini Display Port, 4 x USB Type-A 3.0, 1 x USB 3.1 Type C with Thunderbolt, 1 x SD card reader
•Connectivity: 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.1
•Dimensions: 15.2 x 10.3 x 1-inches (WxDxH)
•Weight: 5.1 pounds
•Price: $1,899

No matter the model, there seems to be a common occurrence when it comes to the battery performance of the ROG lineup: It’s not all that impressive. In fact, the ROG Strix scored near the bottom out of all the laptops I’ve tested using IGN’s battery rundown test. At just 81 minutes, only the ultra-beefy MSI GT83VR SLI came in lower. As for the rest of the ROG lineup that I’ve reviewed, the ROG Zephyrus scored 86 minutes, and the ROG Strix GL702VM turned in 89 minutes. If nothing else, at least the ROG line is consistent.

At $1,899 the ROG Strix GL503V is more affordable than the only slightly lighter $2,299 ROG Zephyrus, and it is just as capable. My only real complaint is the touchpad required some fiddling and battery life is predictably short, but other than that this is a great machine. And who is using the touchpad on a gaming laptop anyway? It packs outstanding performance in a medium sized chassis, while not entirely breaking the bank.

ASUS PRO D620MT Series Business Computers

ASUS PRO D620MT Series Business Computers

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

One of the best and most unique features of the D620MT is the security features. It comes with AI Security software management to protect confidential data by restricting access and with battery like Asus UX21E-SH52 Battery, Asus UX21A Battery, Asus UX21E Battery, Asus UX21E-KX020D Battery, Asus A31N1311 Battery, Asus F102BA Battery, Asus R103B Battery, Asus X102B Battery, Asus X102BA-DF1200 Battery, Asus X102BA-BH41T Battery, Asus A31N1519 Battery, Asus X540LJ Battery. The chassis comes with a Kensington lock, preventing people from stealing the internal hard drive. It even has an intrusion alert system that notifies you when someone has opened the chassis without your approval. In addition, it uses the ASUSPRO Business Manager, which features a secure delete protocol and an onboard Trusted Platform Module microchip, which protects keys, passwords and digital certificates from online attacks. With most business computers, you'd have to purchase and install this type of software separately.

The brains of the D620MT is the Intel i5-6500 processor. It's a quad-core processor with a base speed of 3.6GHz. This processor received a 7,035 PassMark score, which is slightly below average. It's still above the 6,000 mark required for simple multitasking. This score means it can handle running simple apps like Microsoft Word while browsing the internet, but it can't handle multiple data-intensive apps at once. For comparison, the highest PassMark score for a processor in our review is 11,000, which is more than twice as powerful.

The D620MT comes with 4GB of memory, which is the lowest in our review. A business computer should have at least 8GB to provide ample room for data-intensive apps. You can upgrade to as much as 64GB, which may be necessary if you're running extremely data-intensive software like 3D rendering.

The installed hard drive has a 500-GB storage capacity, which is also the lowest amount of storage in our review. The best business desktop computers have at least 1TB of storage. You can upgrade to a 2-TB hard drive, but this is the most storage available. Some businesses PCs can be upgraded to 13TBs of storage. However, with four expansion slots on the motherboard, you can add more drives after your purchase.

The major downside to the ASUSPRO D620MT business desktop is the lack of key help and support features offered by ASUS. The first issue is the one-year warranty. Most business computers come with a three-year warranty. Also, ASUS doesn't provide accidental damage protection, asset recovery, on-site service and remote diagnostic services. If your computer goes down, ASUS simply doesn't have the support to make sure you're up and running within hours or a day instead of weeks. And when your computer's down, your business is down.

Another downside is the purchasing process. To buy an ASUSPRO D620MT, you have to fill out a deal registration form and wait for an SMB (small-medium business) sales representative to contact you. Once in contact with the sales representative, you can customize the computer to meet your small-business needs. You can also negotiate a deal for multiple computers. However, it adds an unnecessary step to the purchasing process, especially if you want only one or two computers. Since customization is a big part of the process, the price of the computer can vary a lot.

The ASUSPRO D620MT is a reliable and fast computer with an Intel i5-6500 3.6GHz quad-core processor that has a PassMark score of 7,035. It comes with 4GB of RAM and a 500-GB hard drive. It's stocked with impressive security features to make ensure your files remain confidential. Unfortunately, ASUS' support lacks many of the necessary services you'll need to make sure your business isn't down for too long if the computer fails on you.

Asus ZenBook 13 2018 review

Asus ZenBook 13 2018 review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

If you’re like a lot of people, you want a thin and light notebook that you can toss into a backpack and carry around without wrenching your back. You need to get real work done, but that doesn’t mean you’re against the occasional light gaming session to break things up either. If that’s you, then Asus might have finally very made the notebook you’ve been looking for.

Specifically, we’re talking about the Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UN. This 13.3-inch notebook with battery such as Asus C21N1347 Battery, Asus X555 Battery, Asus X555LA Battery, Asus X555LD Battery, Asus X555LJ Battery, Asus X555UB Battery, Asus X555YA Battery, Asus Y583L Battery, Asus C23-UX21 Battery, Asus UX21 Battery, Asus UX21E-DH71 Battery, Asus UX21E-KX016V Battery is priced at the low-end of the premium market, at $1,000 for an eighth-generation Core i5-8250U CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SATA SSD, and a Full HD display. The twist? Asus has fit in a discrete GPU, the entry-level Nvidia GeForce MX150, making the ZenBook 13 the “thinnest notebook with discrete graphics.”

That’s a nice trick, if Asus managed to pull off the feat of managing a discrete GPU’s heat inside a thin-and-light’s chassis. Did Asus work some magic and squeeze out the maximum potential from the potent combination?

Asus managed to fit a 50 watt-hour battery into the ZenBook 13, which is a decent capacity that exceeds the 43 watt-hours in the HP Spectre 13 and almost matched the 52 watt-hours in the newest Dell XPS 13. The Intel Core i5-8250U is an efficient processor when running less demanding tasks, and so we had hopes it would demonstrate close to all-day battery life.

As it turned out, the ZenBook 13 was a bit of a mixed bag. It did quite well running our Basemark web benchmark test, lasting roughly the same timeframe as the XPS 13 and beating out the Spectre 13. It fell short of its low-cost sibling, the ZenBook UX330UA, however. Web browsing was a strength, however, while it’s video playing efficiency was only the middle of its class at just under 10 hours. That likely translates to most of a working day unless your tasks are particularly demanding.

The ZenBook 13 would be a rather mundane thin-and-light Windows 10 notebook if it weren’t for its discrete GPU. That’s not nothing, though, as it does stand apart in its ability to support playing more than just the most casual games. And if you need to edit photos or video, then you’ll get much better performance — which is a plus for a notebook that comes in at $1,000 and provides a great productivity punch as well.

Probably the most interesting alternative to the ZenBook 13 is its own budget-oriented sibling, the ZenBook UX330UA. That machine comes in at $750 for the same Core i5-8250U, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SATA SSD, and 13.3-inch Full HD display, and offers roughly equivalent performance and even better battery life. In fact, there’s little to recommend the ZenBook 13 over it unless you really need the discrete GPU.

The same can be said for the $1,300 (currently on sale for $1,080) HP Spectre 13 and the $1,300 (on sale for $1,000) Dell XPS 13. The Spectre 13 is much thinner and smaller, and gorgeous, while the XPS 13 is similarly sized but more robustly built. Neither of them has discrete graphics, however, and so once again the ZenBook 13 wins out for entry-level gamers and creative professionals.

If you’re looking to spend less money but still want a GeForce MX150, then you have some other options. You could opt for the Acer Aspire 5 for around $600 similarly equipped, which will drop you back to a seventh-generation Intel Core i5 processor and add in a less-sharp 15.6-inch Full HD display. The Lenovo Ideapad 720s ($850) and Acer Swift 3 ($1,000) are two 14-inch notebooks that also sport the MX150 and eighth-generation Intel CPUs for the same or less money. None of these machines are as thin and light as the ZenBook 13, but you’re bound to get slightly better performance thanks to a thicker chassis that lets the GeForce MX150 run with a bit more headroom.

The ZenBook 13 is well-equipped to last for several years of solid productivity work, thanks to its utilizing the latest generation of Intel Core processor, and it’s built well enough that it should survive the usual mobile office worker’s treatment. The notebook will also support future USB-C peripherals, which is a plus, although the lack of Thunderbolt 3 support is limiting.

Yes, if you’re looking for a discrete GPU in a thin and light 13.3-inch notebook. If you can live with integrated graphics, however, then there are several other options available that provide better battery life, more robust designs, and more futuristic connectivity.

Asus K501UX Laptop Review

Asus K501UX Laptop Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

The ASUS K501UX with battery like Asus K62 Battery, Asus P82 Battery, Asus X52 Battery, Asus X67 Battery, Asus A41-X550 Battery, Asus A550 Battery, Asus F550 Battery, Asus P550 Battery, Asus A31-X101 Battery, Asus A32-X101 Battery, Asus X101 Battery, Asus X101H Battery is a capable entry-level gaming laptop that offers solid performance for far much less than the competition. This system strikes a perfect balance in form-and-function as it can efficiently perform daily work and media tasks when you’re not playing.It is impressive to see how Asus managed to design a very adept notebook with a solid feature set, including a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card. Further, they made it incredibly affordable over its peers with similar features.

It rivals the Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK gaming laptop, only that the K501UX is equipped with a dual Core-i7 CPU; while the Inspiron is powered by a true quad-core sixth generation Intel i5-6300HQ processors, giving it more threading power when multitasking. For the impressive feature set, timeless design and unbeatable price, the Asus K501UX easily earns our Editors’ Choice award for entry-level gaming laptops.

Asus laptops have maintained a fairly constant design, especially the Zenbook line, over its several iteration and the latest entrant with a brushed aluminum cover, but unlike the subtle concentric circles finish we saw in the ASUS F555LA-AB31, the K501UX sports a classy dark blue metallic cover with a hairline-textured finish.

The K501UX is outfitted with a sixth-generation (Skylake) 2.5GHz Intel Core i7-6500U processors (Turbo up to 3.1GHz), 8GB of system memory, and a discrete Nvidia GTX950M graphics card with 2GB DDR3 RAM. The Intel Core i7-6500U is a dual core processor, that promises stable performance, it receives ~4300 points CPU Mark points which is quite decent for a notebook (apparently most laptops average 3000 points these days).

The ASUS K501UX is an excellent value, offering good gaming and productivity performance at a reasonable price. It scores close to more-expensive systems during testing, even beating them in some cases. Plus, it sports a solid, sleek chassis and a full HD display and manages to include extras like a back-lit keyboard, and decent port options. It is among the few notebooks that stay at the edge of gaming and productivity, yet manage to deliver impressively on both spheres, while still remaining affordable.

Well, that was in 2016 and the release of the Asus K501UX just coincided with the launch of Intel’s sixth generation line of CPUs codenamed ‘Kaby Lake’ that saw us enjoy more powerful systems for ever decreasing amounts of money. To date, the K501UX has remained a steadfast favorite among office users, college students and enthusiast gamers, alike. A lot has changed since then, and consumers preferences have shifted, dictated by need for even better performance and longer battery life. Finally, in Q3 of 2017, the Asus K501UX got a refreshed upgrade in the ASUS M580VD-EB76, that offers even better performance, tons of storage, improved battery life and useful connectivity options.

The newer iteration boasts a newer seventh-generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4GB (released in 2017), 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD combo for storage and all round connectivity including USB-C port. Surprisingly, the price hasn’t shifted greatly over its predecessor, and considering the feature set, it looks like you’re getting computer than what you’re paying for. For these reasons, the ASUS M580VD-EB76 $1,049.99 at Amazon replaces its predecessor as our Top Pick for entry-level gaming laptops. If you are in the market for a laptop that subtly balances form and function, the Asus EB76 should be at the top of your list.

ASUS VivoBook F510UA-AH55 Laptop

ASUS VivoBook F510UA-AH55 Laptop

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

Now that the tech honchos have declared 2018 to be a year of powerful systems for ever-decreasing amounts of money, Asus is putting out a set of top-of-the line notebooks with the idea surpassing the competition. Of course, that can only happen by releasing into the market well designed notebooks, with the best components and pricing that can’t be leveraged by competitors in the same niche.

Enter the ASUS VivoBook F510UA-AH55 with battery such as Asus X540 Battery, Asus X540S Battery, Asus X540YA Battery, Asus 90-N0L1B3000Y Battery, Asus A31-K52 Battery, Asus A32-K42 Battery, Asus A42-B53 Battery, Asus A42-K52 Battery, Asus A62 Battery, Asus F86 Battery, Asus K42 Battery, Asus K52 Battery, an office/college system that will capture the attention of most office users and students alike. Many will see it as an upgraded version of our Editor’s Choice, the ASUS VivoBook F510UA-AH51 (true, depending on how you look at it), but it has more to offer as compared to its other iteration from last year.

With the latest Vivobook AH55, Asus is taking on the likes of Dell XPS 13, Lenovo Yoga 920 and Acer Swift 5, that seem to dominate the budget desktop-replacement category. Under the hood is Intel’s Kaby Lake-R(efresh) chip, that brings a new twist in the world of ultra-thin laptops. Plus, it gets the best storage option that you can’t get in the market for the price.

There are compromises, however, like fewer ports and no optical drive, but it’s expected when you need portability over everything else. If all you need is a daily use laptop that suffices for both college and work, the VivoBook AH55 is a shoo-in.

Battery life is good, and we hope with the newer chips its getting stronger. With that, we are looking at something around 4-5 hours on a single charge, which is around the same ballpark with the likes of the Dell XPS 15 Touch (9550) (5:56), but a fairly lower than the MacBook Pro 15-Inch Retina Display (2014) (8:55). It may weigh more than the svelte ultraportables, but it will last almost as long as most 15-inch laptops. This laptop can last enough for a day at school or at the office on moderate use.

The ASUS VivoBook F510UA-AH55 is cheaper than most 15-inch laptops, and with its feature set it looks like good value for a budget system. If you’re comfortable with a 2-in-1 system in the same range, the Lenovo Flex 5 is worth a longer glance. If youR computing needs are rather complex and you can’t afford losing on portability, go for the Dell XPS9560-7001SLV-PUS or MacBook Pro (MPTT2LL/A), which cost more but make up for better specification and wonderful design. Still, the VivoBook AH55 is a safe buy for anyone wanting a value, nice-looking laptop with the right features for college and work.

Huawei Matebook X Pro Review

Huawei Matebook X Pro Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery

Huawei’s Matebook X Pro is what happens when designers boil down Microsoft’s Surface Book line to its essentials, sprinkling a bit of paranoia on top for extra flavor.

Huawei’s flagship notebook improves upon the Huawei Matebook X with battery such as 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 that the company launched last year. Now with a 3,000x2,000-pixel display that takes after the Surface Book line, the 13.9-inch notebook will be sold in three configurations, with prices beginning at 1,499 Euros ($1,845 USD). Huawei will ship it to North America this spring, the company said.

Three features distinguish the Matebook X Pro. First, the company is offering a discrete -graphics options within a 0.57-inch (14.6 mm) form factor—not ultrabook thin, but not as chunky as the 0.9-inch thick Surface Book 2, either. Huawei also achieved a 91-percent screen-to-body ratio, which helps pare down the bezel to create something that looks close to an edge-to-edge display. But that design feature also comes at a cost: Huawei removed the webcam and placed it underneath a function key on the keyboard.

As you might guess with a laptop this thin, you're going to miss some connectivity. The Matebook X Pro offers roomy storage, though, which is some consolation.

Display: 13.9 inches LTPS (3,000 x 2,000); 450 nits, 100% sRGB color
CPU: Core i7-8550U/Core i5-8250U 8th-gen Core processors (Kaby Lake-R)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce MX150, 2 GB GDDR5
Memory: 8GB/16GB LPDDR3
Storage: 256GB/512GB NVMe SSD
Wi-Fi: 802.11ac, 2x2 MIMO, Bluetooth 4.1
Ports: USB-C (2), including 1 with Thunderbolt
Battery: 57.4Wh
Dimensions: 11.97 in. x 8.54 in x 0.57 in., 2.93 pounds

Other features include a Dolby Atmos-powered set of four speakers, which the company promises will deliver an audio punch for consumers as well as professionals. The keyboard is also spillproof, which usually means there's drainage below the keyboard in case water spills (but you could still be in trouble if what you spill is hot coffee or a sugary beverage). Integrated Huawei Share software facilitates file transfer between Huawei phones and the Matebook X Pro, the company said.

Huawei chose to go with USB-C across the board, both of which support data charging as well as I/O. If you’d like, an optional MateDock 2 docking station (price not disclosed) fits into one of the USB-C ports and provides a USB-A port, a USB-C port, one HDMI port, and a VGA connection.

Though battery life will obviously vary, Huawei claims the Matebook X will deliver 12 hours of video playback or 15 hours of web browsing.

Huawei’s never really cracked the North American market in the way that Dell, HP, or Lenovo have. But the Matebook X Pro appears to combine aesthetics with moderate horsepower—if you don’t mind showing off your double chin, that is.

Asus ZenBook Flip 14 UX461UN review

Asus ZenBook Flip 14 UX461UN review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery

Peppy, slim, easy to look at and fun to type on, with battery like 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, the $900 Asus ZenBook Flip 14 has a lot going for it. That said, it’s tough to recommend the Flip over our current favorite 2-in-1, the HP Spectre x360, which offers a more powerful CPU, a pair of speedy Thunderbolt 3 ports, and substantially better battery life, all for just $170 extra. Still, bargain hunters looking for a slightly larger display than the Spectre’s 13-inch screen may yet be swayed by the cheaper Flip 14.

We reviewed the $900 version of the ZenBook Flip 14, which boasts an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor with integrated UHD 620 graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. If you’ve got more money to burn, there’s a step-up model of the Flip 14 with an i7-8550U CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a discrete Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics chip.

Measuring 12.9 by 8.8 by 0.55 inches and weighing in at about 3.3 pounds, the Flip 14 feels thin but dense, as would be the case with pretty much any similarly sized laptop that weighs more than three pounds. Etched with Asus’s signature hairline concentric circles, the Flip 14’s lid looks fairly stylish, if not quite as eye-popping as the glossy lithographed lid of its smaller cousin, the ZenBook 13. Then again, the Flip 14’s lid doesn’t attract nearly as many fingerprints as the ZenBook 13’s lid does.

Armed with a quad-core i5-8250U processor from Intel’s current 8th generation of CPUs, the reasonably fast ZenBook Flip 14 doesn't harbor any surprises in the performance department. Peppy without breaking records, heat-conscious without playing it too safe, the Flip 14 sticks with the 8th-gen pack without ever quite leading it. Only in the battery-life department were we wishing for more.

We test laptop battery life by looping a 4K video using the stock Windows 10 Movie and TV player, with screen brightness set between 250-260 nits (or about 90 percent on the ZenBook Flip 14) and with the volume set to 50 percent and headphones plugged in.

The Flip 14’s more than nine hours of battery life is certainly respectable; indeed, I was able to use the Flip for most of a workday without plugging in its AC adapter. That said, we were hoping for more given the laptop’s relatively roomy 57Whr battery.

For example, the ZenBook 13 and its smaller 50Whr battery basically scored the same result in our battery drain test, while the runaway winner, the HP Spectre x360, managed to wring more than three hours of additional battery life from an only slightly larger 61Whr battery.

With its peppy performance, sleek design, sharp display and comfy keyboard, the $900 Asus ZenBook Flip 14 makes for a solid entry in the current crop of 8th-generation Intel-powered 2-in-1 notebooks. But you can do better if you can spend a tad more cash for the $1,070 HP Spectre x360, which remains our favorite convertible laptop.

Toshiba Portege Z835 Review

Toshiba Portege Z835 Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery

The Toshiba Z835 is a real winner in the Ultrabook category and offers great build quality, battery life and good performance at a fair price with battery like Toshiba PA5136U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Portege Z30 Battery, Toshiba Portege Z30-A Battery, Toshiba Z30-B Battery, Toshiba PT241A-029001 Battery, Toshiba PT241U-05S005 Battery, Toshiba PA5149U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Z40-A Battery, Toshiba Z40T-B Battery, Toshiba Z50-A Battery, Toshiba Z50-B Battery, Toshiba Z40-C Battery.

This $899 Best Buy exclusive features a 13.3-inch display, 128GB solid state drive, backlit keyboard and six hours of battery life. Read our take to find out what makes this Ultrabook really impressive.

The Portege Z835 (also called the Z830) is an Ultrabook, a new class of notebook computers characterized by their thinness, light weight, and use of Intel Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) processors. These are essentially the Windows alternatives to the Apple MacBook Air.

The Z835 has a professional-looking design with normal straight lines and squared-off edges; Toshiba’s Portege line of notebooks has typically been business oriented so this makes sense. The Z835 will most certainly draw wandering eyes despite its utilitarian appearance due to the sheer thinness – it really is that thin at only 0.63 inches high. The chassis is constructed entirely of magnesium alloy, a lightweight yet strong material. As a result the Z835 feels like almost nothing at 2.4 pounds.

The Z835 has a 13.3-inch display with a glossy surface and 720p (1366×768) resolution. It has plenty of brightness but overall isn’t remarkable in terms of color reproduction or contrast. The glossy surface helps with contrast, specifically the black levels, but hinders usability since nearby light sources can create annoying reflections on the screen. An anti-glare screen coating is preferred; they’re easier to clean too. The 1366×768 resolution is acceptable for this screen size but the more-expensive ASUS UX31 offers a much better 1600×900 resolution (about 30% more working space).

I measured an even six hours of battery life during our standard rundown test (Windows 7 Balanced power profile, 70% screen brightness, wireless active and refreshing a web page every 60 seconds). This is a respectable time and in the range of what we expect from Ultrabooks.

The Toshiba Portege Z835 is an all-around winner and was a pleasure to review. It has solid build quality, a decent backlit keyboard, a good touchpad, six hours of battery life, and the characteristic light weight (2.4 lbs) and thinness we’ve come to expect from Ultrabooks. Where the Z835 stumbles is performance; the included 128GB SSD is exceptionally slow. The Intel Core i3 processor is bottom of the barrel but should have plenty of oomph for general usage.

At $899 the Z835 undercuts existing Ultrabooks by $100 or more and makes for a very attractive choice. It is an ideal on-the-go companion and a tempting alternative to the Apple MacBook Air.

Pros:
•Decent backlit keyboard
•6 hours battery life
•Great value
•Plenty of ports including USB 3.0

Fujitsu Lifebook E743 Review

Fujitsu Lifebook E743 Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery

When corporate bosses go PC shopping for their road warriors, they need to know: Are the laptops light and easy to carry? Are they comfortable to use? Can employees hook up all the stuff they need during trips and back in the office? Do the systems offer good security options? Finally, can they take the thumps and bumps of hard traveling? All these issues affect productivity and the cost of both initial hardware purchase and upkeep, bottom-line concerns for any company.

Juggling the above goals, Fujitsu achieves mixed success with its latest Lifebook. The highlight: The Lifebook E743 is about as expandable as a compact laptop with a 14-inch display can get. The notebook bristles with ports and slots, and it also has an innovative expansion bay that lets you pop in a second battery pack with battery such as Fujitsu LifeBook NH570 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP175AP Battery, Fujitsu Celsius H250 Battery, Fujitsu Celsius H700 Battery, Fujitsu Celsius H920 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook A6230 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP215 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP216 Battery, Fujitsu FPB0272 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP335 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP334 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook LH532 Battery, an optical drive, or even a mini projector. The Lifebook also comes with plenty of security-centric and office-integration features, including a fingerprint scanner, a Smart Card reader, and an underside connector for locking the machine onto a docking station or port replicator.

At first blush, we quite liked this Lifebook. Pulling it out of its shipping box, we could hold it securely by its spine, because the notebook tapers down from 1.3 inches thick at the hinge to just 0.9 inch at the front edge. It's quietly stylish, with a burnished magnesium top and a thin red stripe that runs along the front edge with a jaunty little flare at one end.

Under the lid, the keyboard deck is attractive aluminum. The front edges of the screen and keyboard are beveled inward, making it easy to grip and flip up the screen and get down to work. The hinge is well tensioned, letting you easily position the panel but keep it tilted at the right viewing angle.

This Lifebook comes with just the main battery installed. That 5,800mAh lithium-ion pack held on for five hours and change in our rundown test, which is certainly okay, but nothing to tweet your colleagues about...

Fujitsu didn't send us the secondary bay battery for formal testing. The option to install this secondary battery, though, takes some of the sting out of the fact that you can't yet get this machine with any of Intel's 4th-Generation/"Haswell" mobile CPUs inside. So far, in the Haswell-based laptops we have tested, Haswell and good battery life have run hand-in-hand.

To sum up, it's hard to beat the Fujitsu Lifebook E743 if you want to graft a raft of peripherals onto your notebook. But you may chafe at the clunky keyboard and touch pad, and we found ourselves thinking about fit-and-finish and construction sturdiness rather than taking those things for granted as we do with many laptops.

If it's going to spend more time in the office than on the road, and you can plug in an external keyboard and mouse, then this Lifebook isn't a bad deal. But if you travel a lot, check out similar 14-inch slimlines from other vendors, and be sure to try them out to get a good feel for their keyboards, touch pads, and screens. Whether you help run a Fortune 500 company or a 15-person office, you want your people out there being the best earners they can be.
