Compare laptops

I am lloking to the HP envy 17-j113tx or 17-j005tx purchasng (get a deal with (16 GB of RAm and 2 TB HDD). What is the main differernce as appropriate?)

Hard to see a significant difference in performance characteristics:

Windows 8 vs. 8.1, but you can upgrade 8-8.1 for free.

The j113tx says expressly 2 x 2 wi - fi (2.4 and 5 ghz band) and the other does not. And it's a touchscreen and the other is not so I think this explains the difference in price. I always thought laptops with touch screens are a little difficult to use, but if you want a touchscreen you must obtain the j113tx.

    Hi nobbler1,

    Don t compare laptops equipped with desktop computers! Computer laptop parts are specific parts for a notebook series only and so that you can t take a motherboard of another model of laptop like A Satellite or Qosmio. They are different and will not fit.

    I put t know why you need a new mainboard but contact service provider authorized in your country. There you can get a new mainboard.

    In addition, you are right. It's not easy to swap the motherboard. It is delicate and you should remove many screws and parts.

  • Satellite P100 198 (PSPA6E): is it supposed to be which is noisy?

    Hello
    I just bought this laptop, and I'm a little disappointed because it's very noisy! The fan on the left still moving, even if the system is idle. Would that malfunction or is it because of the power of this computer (equipped with a nvidia 7900 GS)?

    What more, the sound has a slight distortion and cracks.
    Since I just bought, I can have a standard exchange within 5 days if there is a problem.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    I agree with roko. The fact is that it is the result of the miniaturization of equipment. The books are more powerful. Hardware components produce a lot of heat and also placed on the square. Protect the equipment unit to cool properly. As a result, cooling fan works often.

    Please don? t see this as a problem just as result of technical development. The notebooks are units of high technologies and every year there is a gap lower between the performance of desktop and portable.

    Roko if you see last on desktop graphics cards, you will notice that many of them have big and strong cooling vents. Computer laptop design doesn't? t let something like that because here is no place for this. If you compare laptops from other manufacturers, you will see that there is the same situation.

  • Satellite M100-222: HDD temperature is approximately 50-53 degrees Celsius. Is this normal?

    Hello world!

    My Satellite M100-222 is warm enough after an hour of work. I decided to see the temperature of the CPU, graphics card and HARD drive and I noticed that the HDD temperatura is around 50-53 degrees Celsius. Is this normal? What is the temperature of the HARD disk on your laptop? Because on my desktop HDD temperature is 37 degrees.

    The CPU temperature is 47-50 degrees Celsius.

    Hi Stanislav

    Don t worry, everything is ok! The 50-53 degrees is not unusual.
    The temperature can increase to a higher level. I think that about 70-80 degrees, if the laptop is fully loaded and running with maximum performance.

    The temperature on the desktop PC is much lower because of the space inside your box.
    The cooling fans are bigger and run much faster than laptop cooling modules so that you should not compare laptop & desktop PC.

    However, as I said above, everything is ok. If the temperature reaches a critical level then the laptop turns off automatically.
    It is a thermal protection which is supported by computers laptop Toshiba!

  • Slow satellite 1VJ-C855

    Hello

    We recently bought this PC with Windows preinstalled 8. Everything works, but is quite slow. For example to start microsoft solitaire collection takes more than 5 seconds, and then it takes another 5 seconds once selected a game before he could start.
    We also have a 3 years satellite 350 d with half the memory, the slower CPU and graphics card and it runs a lot faster.

    A more professional example: during the audit of the antivirus of Trend Housecall, the old PC made in about 3 hours. A new with less than half of the data on it, requires more than 6 hours.
    In Control Panel, I changed even the option of better graphics for optimal performance without remarkable result.

    I watched a lot in a numbeer of settings without results.
    Also note that we do not load many programs at startup.
    Help, please

    > We also have a 3 years satellite 350 d with half the memory, the slower CPU and graphics card and it runs a lot faster

    Well, I don t think that your Satellite 350 d has win 8 installed ;)
    Hardware configuration is important, but also the pre-installed software can affect performance.
    So if you want to compare laptop s / s performance computer you must ensure that both machines use the same operating system, same tools, same software.

    I think there are a lot of processes running in the background.
    This could slow down the system.

    Finally, a HARD disk failure can cause these delays too so maybe the fitness of HARD drive needs to be tested
    I test my HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - slow start compared to laptop older?

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Pavilion dv6 but noticed that there a start more slow times compared with my old Toshiba Portege R705-P35. I'm just curious as to why this is since the Portégé has much lower than my flag specs.

    Thank you

    TheLongBoarder

    Hi TheLongBoarder,

    The slow start could be caused by several different things. The first thing you want to do when diagnosed with a problem with a computer, is if it's a hardware problem or a software problem. In your case, I think it would be a hardware problem. You shouldn't have a problem with the memory or the speed of your hard drive. This model must be run at least 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM.

    It also depends what 'boot' you talk about.

    1. if it was the boot of when you press the power button to the Windows login screen (post), it could be a problem with the BIOS. May not have the most recent version, or the settings in the BIOS cannot be addressed to optimize speed and start Windows.

    If the version of the BIOS is the problem, you can find the latest version by going to the page drivers downloads HP, select the exact model of your laptop (i.e.. dv6-6c35dx) number, select your operating system and navigate to the section called "BIOS". Follow the instructions below to check if the currently installed version is newer or older version online.

    1. Click on Start and then run.

    2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

      Note: Do not make changes to any entry anywhere in the registry editor to avoid causing serious problems in the system. These steps only directly allow you to display a registry entry, is not to make changes.

    3. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under my computer folder and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

    4. In records resulting, find and click the plus sign (+) next to the hardware STORE to expand this folder.

    5. In records resulting, find and click on the (+) sign next to the DESCRIPTION to expand this folder.

    6. In records resulting, locate and click the folder System .

    7. In the results displayed in the right window, locate the entries SystemBiosVersion andSystemBiosDate .

    8. The data in the SystemBiosVersion field contains the version of the BIOS of your motherboard. This field can also contain additional information such as the manufacturer of the chipset and the manufacturer of the BIOS.

    9. The data in the field SystemBiosDate contains the date in the calendar associated with the current version of the BIOS of your motherboard. The date of the BIOS can be useful to determine the current version of the BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer's Web site if the version is not clear in the area of SystemBiosVersion .

    10. Close the registry editor without making any changes.

    The BIOS settings: If the problem is with the settings in the BIOS, there are a couple of tweeks that allow you to optimize speed. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) works a lot of tests on devices and configure the devices connected to your computer. If some parameters are not configured correctly, the startup of your PC speed can be reduced. Enter the BIOS setup and look for commands or settings that may not be correct. To be sure, run a Google search to be sure. Make sure that your first boot device is set on your main hard drive. Make sure that the logo of the motherboard display is turned off. And make sure that the Quick start quick start feature is activated.

    2 if your talking about startup as the loading process connection Windows for a full load of Windows in the Windows desktop, you may have a problem with too many programs to load with windows. In this case, you can easily check and disable all programs unwanted on startup with Windows, which can cause speed problems. You can do this:

    1. click "Start" and type "msconfig" in the search bar and press "enter."

    2. This will open "System Configuration utility".

    3. on the right side of the window, navigate to the tab "start".

    4. you will see a list of all programs to load with Windows. Here, you can decide what you do or you want to load with Windows. Some programs are required to load with Windows so that Windows load and run properly, so careful who you disable. If you are not sure if it's necessary for Windows, you can do a quick search on google to be sure. Search for the song titled "startup item". Copy and paste in Google and type "is"EXAMPLE"necessary to start Windows? You will usually find your answer quickly enough.

    Slow start could be caused by a couple of other reasons as well.

    1.  fragmented - registry Windows registry is the most indispensable of the Windows operating system. When he begins to have problems with the registry, the speed and functionality of Windows becomes considerably slower. I doubt that this could be the problem with your computer. It is possible, but it is new and that if you have applied heavy use in a short period of time, it is not the likely culprit. If it, however, it's worth a check. You can find a good registry cleaner online and give him a check.

    2 of virus or Spyware infections- once the infections on the computer, they can cause immediate damage to Windows features. If you have been online a lot, even with an anti-virus program, you may have a virus any. You must run a full scan just to be sure. You can also download the free version of Malwarebytes and run as well. It works very well and is quite powerful.

    Hope that this helped you and you have this problem is resolved. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to me message. In fact, I have a model dv6 that I may be able to help in any future issues, you may have.

    Later,.

  • Could someone tell me what a Tablet does or does not do compared to a laptop?

    I can buy a Tablet rather than a laptop. I don't know anything on the shelves. I now have an office. So before talking about sales REPS can / will anyone share with me the difference of tablets and laptops and current problems that are compressed affectting consumers if there is, and if so what is a problem? If I would have known about the problems so far had with Vista, I would not have used it. I was a newbie to computers and heard and discovered later that Vista has problems common among users. Thank you.

    I'm not one that suits to answer your questions as I had only one tablet for a short period.

    That being said right from the start, I discovered the following problems/features/limitations:

    Some tablets to connect WiFi with only an encryption scheme limited (SECURITY), in order to check which will accept your home router (even with the school, etc. everywhere where you will use it more.)

    Most of the tablets (Android) are not easily expandable to its latest OS versions, and if you are unable to update to OS, some of your applications may not work under a more recent version.

    Some tablets can extend the 'memory' via a microSD card, but restrict its use to store music, photos, or other data only, but NOT applications. To release the 'main' memory in tablet, you need a file manager application is uSD for the applications card trick more.

    Not all bluetooth keyboards will pair properly.

    Be extremely careful when charging battery connector is easily damaged.

    Do not leave your battery of the Tablet less than 15% if LiOn type (most are now).

    You cannot connect all USB options for Tablet using the port of uUSB (it is designed as a 'slave' and no master/host to allow USB connectivity) (also reason you would use a Bluetooth keyboard).

    You can transfer them to your Tablet using a laptop or desktop (windows) by using uUSB to the USB cable or Bluetooth.

    Even with all the restrictions, the tablets are very useful if you understand their niche.

    I use mine more everyday to: check email, watch movies (downloaded), surf the web, read books, listen to music, play games.

    I have a 15 "laptop that I could use to do all these, but tablet is lighter, battery lasts longer, is smaller and easier to carry (fits almost anywhere).

    Most of the users in trouble with a Tablet by installing the latest version of the OS (Android) and find that some things won't work anymore and to recover from it, do a cover of the plant. This means that if their data has not been saved on the cloud or a lost laptop/desktop...it's. Good news is that if you bought apps through GooglePlay, they will be charging. I'm not sure of the Amazon App store apps.

    There are Windows tablets out there who have most of the features of a laptop and the mobility of a tablet.

    These you can usually update and patch as needed (Windows), but drivers are not available, but for the most recent version of the OS, so you should check with the manufacturer's website.

  • Low Internet speeds on HP Pro Book compared to my other Samsung laptop using the same router

    My brand new HP Probook s 4340 crashed after 6 months and had to be sent back to Poland to the hard drive needs to be replaced.

    Since she came back, I noticed that when I use websites with graphics (sites of airlines, in particular) the speed upload and download is VERY slow and I can hear the roar of the laptop and work hard. I now tried another laptop at home with the same router and it works very well - so it is clearly my HP laptop or maybe I've got a virus on it - not sure.

    Please could someone give me some ideas to check and try.

    It is still under warranty and I don't want to have to send it back without a laptop for 2 weeks and lost all my data once more. Thank you.

    Hi stephenf95557665,

    (1) you can simply save the file on your computer as allows you to save in the older version of the player, it is not necessary to register I your cloud of document.

    If you save the file to the document cloud, you will be able to access any system from anywhere.

    (2) If you still think earlier version users need, then they can probably uninstall the last being & reinstall the old version using this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • If I do not charge my laptop right when I get it, is what destroyed the battery?

    My friend had recently got a new MacBook Pro (early 2015) 13 "and it does not load right when he got: but rather let die down and then accused, but he now tells me that it has damaged its battery when I don't see much of a difference compared to my computer. (MacBook Air 11 '' beginning 2015) I found it went down by 1% every 5 minutes and go down 1% every 6 minutes. It would be great if someone could tell me if it's just a myth that I shouldn't trust or if he really did something wrong, and what to do about it. Thank you.

    Depleting layer completely the charge and recharge to full load, is what is called the battery calibration.

    New type of batteries installed in new models of Mac Laptops don't need calibration.

    Impoverishing the layer one or twice the charge wouldn't harm to the battery.

    But please do not repeat this.

    Depleting the load completely can have an effect on the battery life.

    There may be other reasons why the Mac has the problem you describe.

  • Spectrum x 360: how to stop the x 360 disable keyboard spectrum just because the laptop is turned on its side?

    Hello-

    When my x 360 spectrum is turned on its side, (IE, use it while fixing my side) of the keyboard and trackpad turn off, as if I was with her in the form of tablets. (It is also used to change the rotation of the screen, but I fixed per rotation lock).  Windows 10 seems not really think of it in tablet mode based on the sidebar settings, the keyboard is still physically in the position of the ordinary laptop - it's all the computer itself, which is turned. Is there a way to disable this feature? What software is responsible for determining when the keyboard and the trackpad turn off based on the rotation of the computer?

    Thank you

    Merrick

    Upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS has often attached to this issue. The keypad disables now rarely when turned on its side. (He does still sometimes, but it is very rare compared to before, and if move you it a bit is fixed).

  • Why laptops is going slower at the time?

    I have a few laptops, some are more recent, some are old, some are stronger, some weaker. But I have a feeling that each of them become slower time. And I ask: what's happening?

    Because of updates to Windows systems? They get heavier? Or is it something wrong with the hardware of the laptops? For example, I have an Acer with 256 RAM, and when I bought it, it worked fine with the system and applications. Now, I can hardly run fresh restore of the system on this computer, some applications and it practically does not work...

    It is the same with two Toshibas I. One is 512, one is 1 G, it was quite a lot for XP a few years before, now they work, but they become significantly slower... I don't think it's just a feeling, so, maybe someone can explain to me what's not here?

    PS.
    Sorry for my English, please correct me in my errors, to help me improve the language :)

    Hi mate

    Computer laptop don t GET slower

    First of all laptops are different from desktop PC.
    The laptop uses additional features such as command buttons, the buttons fn, a kind of other features like gesture control, etc.
    There are a lot of processes running in the background all the time and material resources of the waste

    In addition the new software and applications needs more material resources these software are not comparable with other applications developed 10 years ago

    Finally, and especially the slower gets installed OS because of the trash and debris on the HARD drive
    During the use of the system you will be updated recessive, would be installed tools and other utilities that modify the registry. This affects the performance of the system, thus

    If slimily said there are many factors that can affect the performance of the system, and it's nothing unusual

    You can use a cleaner system called CCLeaner. It s for free. I also use it.
    In addition, you should defragment the HARD drive once in a while it helps too
