HP 14-an013nr 14-Inch Notebook Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

The HP 14-an013nr with battery like HP EL04XL Battery, HP 681949-541 Battery, HP 681949-001 Battery, HP 681879-541 Battery, HP 681879-1C1 Battery, HP 681879-171 Battery, HP 681879-121 Battery, HP Envy 4-1252LA Battery, HP TPN-C115 Battery, HP PL02XL Battery, HP HSTNN-LB6B Battery, HP HSTNN-DB6B Battery is a basic laptop made for folks who find svelte, inexpensive Chromebooks attractive, but really, really need Windows. The HP 14-an013nr runs on full Windows 10 Home, so you no longer have to worry if you have an old favorite program; or can’t bring yourself to use a browser-based laptop. On the plus side, the system is one of the least expensive Windows 10 laptops we’ve seen with a 14″ Full HD (1920-by-1080) IPS UWVA Brightview WLED-backlit display, which counts for a lot.

There are some rough edges along the way, like only 32GB of storage and occasional wait for the PC to finish tasks you’re performing. It is a value PC, considering the competition from Chromebooks, it is ideal for anyone who must have Windows and on a tight budget. If your needs check both boxes –Windows+affordable–, then this inexpensive HP 14-an013nr is worth having at the top of your list.

Compact is the only word that can best describe the HP 14-an013nr. It measures about 0.94 by 13.6 by 9.5 inches (HWD) and weighs exactly 3.9 pounds. It is fairly portable and easy to carry around, or even stuff into a school carry-on bag. The good thing with the clamshell design is that the system isn’t top-heavy as is the case with most desktop-replacement laptops. It’s a little heavy compared to the Chromebooks its meant to compete with, but it’s certainly portable enough for the home or college campus.

The body sports textured line grooves, set in horizontal brushing accented with turbo silver, with the plastic appearing to have higher quality than some of the inexpensive laptops and Chromebooks we’ve seen. The chiclet-style keyboard, is full size and easy to type on, and the touchpad is responsive. The keyboard isn’t back-lit, but we really didn’t expect that at this price level. Being a compact system, you’ll, however, have to get used to a slightly smaller keyboard. For instance, the up/down arrow keys are tiny but the row function keys are quite standard as they default to PC functions such as screen playback and media functions.

The HP 14-an013nr will last an estimated 5 hours, but it all goes down to the process the system is running. Still, 5 hours is respectable although competing Chromebooks. For instance, during our tests the Chromebook C202SA managed 10 hours 46 minutes; which is way longer than most Chromebooks: Acer Chromebook 13 (8:20), the HP Stream 13 (9:09), and the Toshiba CB35-B3340 (7:04). Only the Asus Chromebook Flip (11:13) outlasted them all.

The feature set for the HP 14-an013nr is very attractive for the price range, to be sure. But you have to first ask yourself: Are you buying a system to surf the Internet, or you’re after a full-fledged Windows PC. For Web surfing, the ASUS Chromebook Flip or the 14-inch HP Chromebook 14-ak060nr will get you online quite affordably and stable performance to match. The HP 14-an013nr will be a passable Windows PC, and its full HD screen is a plus, but it may only feel a bit faster than your old PC while you wait for programs and videos to load. The Asus F555LA-AB31, our Editors’ Choice budget laptop, is ultimately an even better choice for Windows users on a budget thanks its great design, powerful Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB memory, 500GB storage and a brilliant full HD (1080p) screen.

HP 15-ba009dx Laptop Review

HP 15-ba009dx Laptop Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

The HP 15-ba009dx with battery like HP 634818-271 Battery, HP 635146-001 Battery, HP FN04 Battery, HP HFTNN-DB0H Battery, HP QG644PA Battery, HP QK648AA Battery, HP ProBook 5330M Battery, HP Envy 4T-1200 Battery, HP Envy 4-1000 Battery, HP TPN-C102 Battery, HP HSTNN-UB3R Battery, HP HSTNN-IB3R Battery doesn’t struggle to shine in the basic laptop category. It is made for folks who find inexpensive chromebooks attractive, but having windows is a really, really must-have in the laptop of choice. If that’s the case, this system stands out as a perfect entry into Windows 10, with a basic feature set: AMD Quad-Core A6-7310 processor; an entry-level Radeon R4 graphics card; 4GB system memory, 500GB storage; and, nothing else! The large 15.6 screen and full-sized keyboards count for a lot, making the HP 15 adequate for everyday tasks such as college assignments, spreadsheet processing, Microsoft Office projects and casual multimedia consumption.

However, if your needs encompass complex tasks that require some muscle to process, you’re safe looking elsewhere since this system isn’t the most comfortable. For folks who are after a minimal price tag, the 15-ba009dx is a decent laptop, but the but the ASUS F556UA-AB32 remains our Editors’ Choice thanks to superior performance and reasonable pricing.

For a bargain hunters, we’re certain that a fancy design isn’t among the things you’re looking out for, and the 15-ba009dx doesn’t sport a fancy design, rather, it adopts a utilitarian style. It sports a matte-black chassis with decorative glossy stripes across the lid alongside a silvery ‘HP’ logo. It measures 0.9 by 15.1 by 10 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.8 pounds.

The 15.6-inch screen has a 1,366-by-768 resolution. While that’s on the low side, it isn’t a surprise among budget systems –you’ll find the same resolution on the HP 15-ba010nr, Acer Aspire ES 15 and the Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14; but we’ve seen Full HD (1920-by-1080) resolutions on budget systems like the ASUS F556UA-AB32 and Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-53VG.

As expected, to get to its budget price, HP had to do with some tradeoffs on the HP 15’s memory and storage; there is only 4GB DDR3L system memory (can be upgraded to 8GB) and a SATA-based 500GB (5400rpm) hard drive storage, which is on the mean side considering that 1TB hard drives are becoming standard in the budget category. To that, add a 2.0GHz AMD Quad-Core A6-7310 (turbo up to 2.4GHz) processor with integrated AMD Radeon R4 graphics.

The Quad-Core A6-7310 compares to, maybe, fifth-generation Intel Core i3 processor; which doesn’t add any muscle to the laptops except for basic everyday home/office computing and college assignments. The entry-level A6-series chip doesn’t translate into any gaming prowess, though, you’ll still be able to play a couple of older titles.

The HP 15-ba009dx is very attractive for basic users on a budget, to be sure. It isn’t the cheaper as you have less expensive options, especially chromebooks, and there is certainly no lack of more expensive ones. But if you’re looking for as bargain deal, the system generally delivers on what it promises and gets the job done, provided you won’t throw complex tasks its way. Although it comes in for slightly more, the ASUS F556UA-AB32 remains our Editors’ Choice thanks to higher-quality screen and superior performance.

New Laptop Is a Whole Lotta Chromebook

New Laptop Is a Whole Lotta Chromebook

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

The intersection of "premium" and "Chromebook" is a tough road to hoe. The most-prominent of the premium Chromebooks thus far, the 13-inch Google Chromebook Pixel with battery like HP 751875-001 Battery, HP 751681-421 Battery, HP 751681-231 Battery, HP Pavilion 11-N000SNX Battery, HP Pavilion 11 X360 Battery, HP X360 310 G1 Battery, HP HSTNN-DB7B Battery, HP HSTNN-PB6Q Battery, HP HSTNN-Q97C Battery, HP P3G16AA Battery, HP RI06 Battery, HP ProBook 450 G3 Battery, is a beautiful but limited machine that costs more than $1,000. That's a lot for a piece of hardware that just runs a web browser.

But HP's latest entry into the Chromebook market matches the Pixel-level design and quality with an accessible price. The 13.3-inch Chromebook 13 was developed in conjunction with Google, and it starts at $550. That price earns you a 1.5GHz Intel Core M configuration with 4GB RAM, a 1080p display. If you want to trick it all the way out with a 3.1GHz Core M chip, 16GB RAM, a 32GB SSD and a 3200x1800 QHD+ screen, you can do that. It'll cost you quite a bit more scratch: $1,029.

For anyone who uses a browser and web apps for the majority of their work, that $550 configuration should be plenty. It's a good-looking machine, but the main draw is its light-and-lean build: At 2.8 pounds and half an inch thick, it has very similar dimensions to the 13-inch MacBook Air. And just like every other laptop that has ever existed, it has the new MacBook beat in terms of ports: Two USB-C, one full-size USB, and a headphone hole. HP and Google are claiming the laptop gets 11 hours of juice per charge.

If you want the lowest-end configuration, it's available for preorder on the Google for Work website today.

HP Spectre 13 Reviews

HP Spectre 13 Reviews

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

Are we nearing the terminus of how ultra ultrabooks can get? HP's latest revision of the Spectre 13 isn’t much rocking the boat. For 2017, it’s really all about refinement, with one of the best ultrabooks with battery such as HP ProBook 470 G3 Battery, HP 805047-251 Battery, HP 805047-851 Battery, HP HSTNN-Q95C Battery, HP 805294-001 Battery, HP 811063-421 Battery, HP ProBook 640 G2 Battery, HP ProBook 650 G2 Battery, HP 801517-831 Battery, HP 801554-001 Battery, HP CI03 Battery, HP HSTNN-PB6K Battery on the market getting just a little bit more polished, a little bit more streamlined.

If you’re not a laptop nerd, you may find yourself confused by HP’s insistence on having multiple devices with near-identical names. There’s the Spectre 13, a mostly traditional laptop, and there’s the Spectre 13 x360, a fully convertible laptop with a wrap-around screen. Other than the screen treatment, the devices are quite similar, but if you aren’t planning to use the device as a slate then the standard Spectre—often referred to as the Spectre 13 Laptop—might be more up your alley. There's also the Spectre x2, a detachable laptop/tablet design.

Compared to last year’s release of the Spectre 13, the most noteworthy change is to the width of the device. While still featuring a 13.3-inch touchscreen (and sticking with 1920 x 1080 pixels), HP has squeezed about a third of an inch off of each side of the laptop. By moving the speakers from the sides to a spot above the keyboard, the Spectre’s keys now extend almost to each edge. The bezel around the screen is considerably smaller in order to accommodate the change, and notably, there’s still a horizontal bar of wasted space, about an inch high, that runs along the bottom of the LCD. The laptop is the same thickness (10.4mm, 13mm with the feet) as the previous model, and weight, at 2.4 pounds, is just a fraction of an ounce heavier than the 2016 model. New color options are available, too: HP sent us a test model in "ceramic white," which is downright whiter than white and looks good on its aluminum and carbon fiber frame. The trackpad is responsive, the keyboard snappy.

HP packs plenty of power into the Spectre 13. It now sports an eighth-generation (quad-core) Intel Core i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM. The standard SSD, at 256GB, won’t win any awards in today’s market, but the three USB-C ports (one of which is used for charging) should be good enough for most users. (Just don’t lose the three included dongles: USB-C to Ethernet, USB-C to HDMI, and USB-C to standard USB.)

While performance is fine, I didn’t see much better numbers from the quad-core CPU than I did with the Spectre x360 we reviewed back in May. That’s almost certainly because other bottlenecks, like the SSD, are getting in the way of better benchmark scores. The better news is that under the hood, HP has revamped the cooling system that was indeed successful at keeping the unit from getting too warm, even under heavy load. The fans aren’t any quieter (though I don’t have any loudness benchmarks to compare to), but at least they don’t drown out the clear, booming speakers.

HP also promises better battery life thanks to another design tweak, and with 5 hours, 16 minutes of lifespan, running time is solid. That compares favorably to the x360, but it’s less than most Lenovo products (including the Lenovo X1 Carbon and the latest X1 Yoga).

Speaking of the Spectre x360, I asked HP why the Spectre Laptop is $150 more expensive when they are configured with the same specs. HP says it’s because the laptop is 3mm thinner than the convertible, and that more expensive components and materials are used for the laptop. While the x360’s battery life is on the weak side, frankly I’m slightly more impressed with that unit on the whole. The extra thickness is largely meaningless, as is the extra 0.4 pounds. But $150? That’s something I could get into.

HP Envy x360 15 Review

HP Envy x360 15 Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

The HP Envy x360 15 with battery like HP HSTNN-UB6Q Battery, HP T7B31AA Battery, HP 801517-541 Battery, HP 801517-421 Battery, HP 717861-141 Battery, HP 718102-001 Battery, HP H6L39AA Battery, HP HSTNN-IB4U Battery, HP HSTNN-LB4U Battery, HP HSTNN-UB4U Battery, HP TPN-Q126 Battery, HP HY04 Battery has gotten the usual yearly laptop refresh with a thinner, lighter chassis and new 8th-generation Intel processors, but the most interesting wrinkle is the introduction of AMD Ryzen chips.

Equipped with the similar ‘discrete-class’ Radeon RX Vega graphics found in AMD’s desktop APUs and Intel Kaby Lake G chips, this could be the first PC gaming-worthy convertible when it releases later this month.

Pricing for the HP Envy x360 15 starts at $749 (about £550, AU$990) for an AMD-powered configuration that includes the Ryzen 5 2500U processor, Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, 15-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) screen, 8GB of DDR4 RAM and an 128GB SSD. There’s also a higher-end SKU with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700U CPU and Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics that also doubles the storage capacity; HP has yet to release pricing for this model.

If the Envy x360 15 looks a lot like the Spectre x360 15 – or even its predecessor – your eyes do not deceive you. HP’s two convertibles look almost identical, although while the company’s flagship 2-in-1 laptop focuses on delivering maximum performance with Kaby Lake G and Nvidia discrete graphics, this hybrid is designed to be thin and light.

HP has also integrated its Sure View integrated privacy screen technology from its enterprise laptops into the Envy x360 15. This does an excellent job of masking the screen with a practically solid gray overlay if you view the screen from any angle other than directly in front.

However, we noticed a fair bit of Sure View silvering the screen when we were using the laptop as normal. The good news is that you can toggle the feature with a keyboard shortcut, so we can see ourselves using it very sparingly, and only when we have sensitive information on screen.

If you’ve been on the fence about a thick and heavy 15-inch convertible systems such as the HP Spectre x360 15, the Envy x360 15 may be just the machine you’ve been looking for. Whether you’re after the Intel model’s promised long battery life, or the gaming potential of the AMD-powered configuration, this 2-in-1 laptop should have something for you.

Of course, that’s all conjecture based on HP’s claims, and on our experiences with integrated Radeon RX Vega graphics in the past. Check back soon, as we’ll be putting this laptop through its paces to see if it can make good on its promises.

HP Spectre 13 review

HP Spectre 13 review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery

Intel was inspired to go on a quest when Apple released the MacBook Air back in 2011 – a quest to redefine what a Windows 10 laptop could be. You see, in the past, Windows laptops had a reputation for being notoriously cheap, unwieldy and uncool – the antithesis of the HP Spectre 13 with battery such as HP 14-F002LA Battery, HP 14-F048CA Battery, HP 14-F088CA Battery, HP 14Z-F000 Battery, HP HSTNN-LB6L Battery, HP NP03XL Battery, HP TPN-Q146 Battery, HP TPN-Q149 Battery, HP 760944-541 Battery, HP Pavilion 13 X360 Battery, HP Envy 15 X360 Battery, HP 761230-005 Battery.

This quest ultimately resulted in the best Ultrabooks, and seven years later, the best laptops have become more varied and Intel’s Ultrabooks have reached a level of near-perfection that we haven’t seen from the MacBook Air in a minute.

HP loaned us the 2017 version of the Spectre 13 Ultrabook for review – as proof of the Ultrabook’s domination. At 0.41 inches thick, the HP Spectre 13 has pushed the goal of unmatched thinness to its highest point. What’s more – it achieves this thinness without having to compromise on performance – or your finances.

Instead, this laptop’s fate is hinged on a sweet balance between battery life and sheer processing might.

In these, the Spectre didn’t quite compare to the Dell XPS 13’s otherworldly 7 hours and 13 minutes.

But, having lasted a minute less than 6 hours looping a 1080p movie in VLC Media Player, it comes close to the MacBook Pro’s hearty 6-hour and 37-minute spiral.

Don’t expect the HP Spectre 13’s imperfections to equal pitfalls. In the grand scheme of things, they’re a lot more minor than this negative nancy would suggest.

Could the trackpad give you more options? Sure, but we haven’t used a Windows laptop whose cursor clicker can quite match that of a MacBook Pro. Do we miss having a wide range of ports on our laptops without the need to convert to the #donglelife? Also, yes, but it’s clear where the future is headed and the HP Spectre 13 is but a pitstop to that destination.

If you’re in the market for an Ultrabook that can handle the average workload with ease and crashes next to null, the HP Spectre 13 will treat you well.

Someone will probably ask you about it, whether you’re taking notes in a classroom or freelancing from a coworking space – we can’t stress it enough, that’s how fierce this machine looks.

And, unlike the new Spectre’s closest competitors, a handsome look doesn’t substitute industry-leading guts.

HP Omen X Gaming Laptop Review

HP Omen X Gaming Laptop Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Lenovo Laptop Battery

HP is taking some bold steps when it comes to the laptop gaming experience with its Omen X Gaming Laptop with battery like HP 14-F002LA Battery, HP 14-F048CA Battery, HP 14-F088CA Battery, HP 14Z-F000 Battery, HP HSTNN-LB6L Battery, HP NP03XL Battery, HP TPN-Q146 Battery, HP TPN-Q149 Battery, HP 760944-541 Battery, HP Pavilion 13 X360 Battery, HP Envy 15 X360 Battery, HP 761230-005 Battery. Why, you ask? Because at a time when other major players such as Asus and Razer are going for a thinner form factor on their gaming laptops, HP has stuck to the old formula of a beefed up bulky device that prioritizes performance, and it’s sure worked. What the HP Omen X Gaming Laptop lacks in being sleek it more than makes up with its customizability. Here’s my review of the Rs 2,10,990 HP Omen X Gaming Laptop.

Though the HP Omen X Gaming Laptop may not be the leanest cat out there, the device sure cuts a pretty figure in the eyes of a gamer. The device has the trademark X pattern of the HP Omen X made on the lid with RGB LED lights in the X pattern. The 17-inch 1080p screen has rather large bezels around it and with the bulk of the whole device it surely does not fit into any of the bags meant for 17-inch laptops.

The display part of the laptop is held together by two circular hinges with the Omen logo lit up by LED lights on top of the keyboard. The rather ordinary touch-pad is positioned right down the middle, just below the keyboard.

Now that I am done writing about the design aspects of the HP Omen X Gaming Laptop, I will tell our readers that it is a very pleasant walk from here on. Because performance is where HP has not compromised at all. With the magnificent 120Hz 1920 x 1080 display that comes with Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, the images and graphics meld into one’s vision.

The HP Omen X Gaming Laptop was initially launched last year and the company took its time to introduce the lineup in India. So at its price point of Rs 2,10,990, it has quite a bit of capable competition out there that offer sleeker builds like the Asus ROG Zephyrus.

But the HP Omen X Gaming Laptop makes up for everything when it comes to sheer performance, a brilliant screen, excellent overclocking capabilities and an unparalleled keyboard. So if you think you can make the best of a gaming laptop with overclocking capabilities and customizability then this is definitely the laptop for you.

Lenovo Ideapad 530S Review

Lenovo Ideapad 530S Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Lenovo Laptop Battery

Lenovo has taken its hinge technology for laptops to a place where we recognize the Yogabooks by the hinges, but that does not mean that its Ultrabooks are any less impressive. And what we have this time is a little deviation from its regular routine with the new Lenovo Ideapad 530S with battery such as Lenovo 45N1049 Battery, Lenovo L1036F01 Battery, Lenovo L11L6F01 Battery, Lenovo L11L6Y01 Battery, Lenovo L11N6Y01 Battery, Lenovo L11S6F01 Battery, Lenovo L11S6Y01 Battery, Lenovo L11M6Y01 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Y480 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad G580 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 Battery, which could contend with the Yogabooks for a place in terms of the raw power.

Lenovo’s latest Ideapad 530S which launched today may be petite and light when it comes to the physicality, but it can definitely be considered a heavyweight in terms of performance. I have tested out the device and here is my review of the Lenovo Ideapad 530S.

The Lenovo Ideapad 530S does not have any remarkably distinguishable physical features, but that does not mean that it does not look decent. Lenovo’s minimalist approach towards the design works well with the demure gray tone with a metal body that has a matte finish. The device houses a 14-inch screen with impressively small bezels and minimal dimensions.

The Lenovo Ideapad 530S features the Intel Core i5-8250U processor and a Nvidia GeForce MX150 GPU along with 8GB DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD. These are the latest specs available but the customer can choose better specs if they so wished as optional extras, such as an i7 processor, more RAM or a better display.

To begin an analysis off the performance of the device, I must first talk about the display which has excellent viewing angles and is bright enough to look at even in the daylight. The default resolution of the laptop display is Full-HD or 1080p which seems more than enough for the small display.

The audio produced by the laptop is loud and much better than the run of the mill laptops in the market, which is courtesy of Harman Kardon. The fingerprint sensor works without a hitch and is a helpful addition because it cuts down on the time spent on entering the password every time you shut the lid.

The Lenovo Ideapad 530S is great package of a laptop in terms of the performance and design, combine that with the pricing of Rs 87,490 (for the model I reviewed) it becomes an attractive deal. It provides excellent value for money when compared to its counterparts from Asus and Dell. The bonuses include options to upgrade and some excellent battery backup which is crucial for people who have to work on the move.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Lenovo Laptop Battery

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 with battery like Lenovo 51J0226 Battery, Lenovo 57Y6266 Battery, Lenovo X1 Carbon 3448 Battery, Lenovo 45N1070 Battery, Lenovo FRU 42T4585 Battery, Lenovo X1 Carbon 3444 Battery, Lenovo X1 Carbon 3460 Battery, Lenovo L08L6Y02 Battery, Lenovo 3000 G555 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad B460 Battery, Lenovo 45N1071 Battery, Lenovo X1 Carbon 3462 Battery is a business-oriented convertible-hybrid laptop, the latest iteration of Lenovo's excellent line of business ultraportables that can double as tablets. In many ways, the ThinkPad Yoga 260 is a refinement of the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, which it replaces. While keeping the ThinkPad Yoga 12's slim dimensions, Lenovo has upgraded the processor, graphics card, and battery, so the ThinkPad Yoga 260 performed very well on our benchmark tests, and outlasted most of the competition on our battery life test. Add to that 4G/LTE support and a lightweight carbon fiber design with an integrated stylus, and the ThinkPad Yoga 260 earns our Editors' Choice for business convertible-hybrid laptops.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 deftly combines the business features of Lenovo's ThinkPad line with the hinge and flexibility of its Yoga line. It has four screen modes: Laptop, Stand, Tablet, and Tent. Tablet mode has the keyboard folded all the way behind the screen, while Tent mode has the system propped on its edges, with the display facing out, and Stand mode has the keyboard face down, with the screen pointing out.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 is lightweight, but feels very durable. It's similar in overall design to the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, but has more angular edges. It measures 0.7 by 12.2 by 8.7 (HWD) and weighs in at 2.93 pounds. The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 is identical in size, but is a little heavier at 3.5 pounds, likely because the ThinkPad Yoga 260 is made of carbon fiber rather than aluminum and magnesium. The ThinkPad Yoga 260 is even lighter than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch (2015), which weighs 3.02 pounds.

The ThinkPad Yoga 260 uses a latest-gen 2.8GHz Intel Core i5-6200U, and 8GB of RAM, which helped the system handily beat almost all of the competition in testing. On the PCMark 8 Work Conventional test, which measures productivity performance, the ThinkPad Yoga 260 scored 3,178, better than the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 (2,923) and the Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series (E7450) (2,681), both of which use fifth-generation Intel Core i5 processors. It also outscored the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (G4U67UT) (2,775), with a fourth-generation Core i5 chip, and the Dell Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 (7350) (2,426), which comes with an Intel Core M processor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 260 offers many improvements over the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12, including a full-size HDMI port, 4G/LTE capability, better battery life, and improved performance with the sixth-generation Intel Core i5 processor, all for $100 less. It's a solidly built, lightweight system with good security features, a stylus, and a responsive touch screen. As such, it's our Editors' Choice for business-oriented convertible-hybrid laptops.

Lenovo IdeaPad 330 Laptop Review

Lenovo IdeaPad 330 Laptop Review

Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Lenovo Laptop Battery

When I'm looking to be productive, more screen real estate is a necessity. Bigger screens lets me have multiple windows in view at once, or pin different applications to the screen corners. While I can get by on a 12-inch screen, I adore 15- and 17-inchers.

While strolling through Best Buy a week ago, I saw a compelling 17-inch laptop from Lenovo: the Ideapad 330 with battery such as Lenovo 0A36305 Battery, Lenovo 45N1018 Battery, Lenovo 45N1019 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X220i Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X230i Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad X230s Battery, Lenovo 01AV422 Battery, Lenovo 01AV425 Battery, Lenovo ThinkPad T560 Battery, Lenovo 01AV427 Battery. After playing on the display model laptop a bit, I decided to take the plunge and purchase the laptop myself.

This model has an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U processor (CPU); 8GB of DDR4 RAM; a 1TB, 5400 RPM Hard Disk Drive (HDD); and a 17-inch, 720p display. After using the stock configuration, I swapped in a 512gb SATA 3 Solid State Drive (SSD) and installed a clean version of Windows from a USB drive.

This laptop is built entirely out of plastic, to keep both the weight and the cost down. But it isn't cheap-feeling, and it won't scratch easily. It's also well balanced: it's not a huge strain to briefly use it one-handed, with the bottom of the laptop resting on my forearm. It's also not awful to carry in a backpack.

Besides the size, performance is the main appeal of this laptop. For only $530, you're getting the same processor that's in the $1,200 ThinkPad T470. You're also getting 8GB of RAM, more than enough to keep up with most use cases.

What doesn't keep up with most use cases is the 5400 RPM hard drive. I'm not sure why Lenovo decided to pair this great CPU and RAM with such slow storage, but the product is worse for it.

The display is just OK. It's a 720p panel with decent colors and viewing angles.

Another bad mark is the battery. Even with a full charge and up to date BIOS and power management drivers, I could only squeeze about three and a half hours of work from the laptop. That's just writing up Google Docs documents inside Microsoft Edge, with a couple other Edge tabs open for research. I had the screen brightness at 75 percent,, which is the minimum you'll want to use it at. This is also a 720p panel, so the GPU isn't working nearly as hard as it could be. Simply put, the default battery is too small. If you're going to use this laptop, be prepared to bring the charger with you wherever you go.

Out of the box, this laptop is pretty terrible to use because of the slow HDD and low battery life. However, it's an inexpensive way to get great performance, if you don't mind installing an SSD and maybe a larger battery if they become available.

Working on such a large screen is a joy, and it performs better than anything else at this price point once you swap the hard drive out. There are plenty of ports, but not being able to use the USB-C port for charging or display-out is what's going to cause me to return this laptop.
