Quality battery - why the price difference?

It's time to get a new battery for my trusty Qosmio G30. The price range seems huge - on the Toshiba site, it's £94 exc VAT, but there are other sites selling batteries 'nine' at £38 inc VAT.

My question is, all batteries are the same? A £38 battery will last as long as a £96 a - what's the catch?

Hello

You are right. On the market there are batteries for laptops offered and the price range is pretty huge. For example, on eBay, you can buy battery for laptop that costs half the price in regular stores.

I noticed that these batteries don't have Toshiba name printed on the label, but the format is the same. In general, they are same, but if the quality is the same is another question. To be honest I have good experience with these cheap batteries and I use them on my mobile phone and cam.

The same story is with cars. If you buy some part by authorized partner, they will be more expensive as offered by some independent stores. According to me, you know why.

In my opinion, you can buy and use this less expensive battery. Maybe life will not be as long as with battery original, but you will save money. Maybe in a year, you want to buy new Qosmio. ;)

    I paid 199 last year and this year I'm in charge $359, what happened?

    You get an additional discount for the first year of a student subscription.  After that, the price goes up, if there is still a lot less compared to the full price.  So, if you have gone beyond the first year which will explain the higher cost.

  • Why the price of HP memory for h8 - 1360t so high series?

    Wow.

    It costs * much * more that other sellers around when go it beyond 8 GB.

    From 12 to 16 GB costs (yelp!) 120 USD.  It's an additional 4 GB.

    Madness? or is there another reason of 1300 DDR3?

    Any recommendations of 3rd party seller? Hyundai is the memory used in the HP System.

    Thank you.

    I don't know where you are talking about prices. However, I would recommend Crucial for all orders of compatible memory module:

  • Comparison of dual Xeon systems - worth the price difference?

    I am looking at two different processors and ask about them.

    I consider dual Intel® Xeon® Processor-E5-2699 v4 (22 hearts to 2.2 GHz) and double Intel® Xeon® Processor-E5-2687W v4 (12 cores at 3.0 GHz).

    The total overall GHz is no longer with the 44 base against the system of 24 base system, but the core clock speed is significantly higher in the 24 base 44 core system vs System.

    That would be better - faster speed single or more overall GHz? What's a better way to playback and editing of speed compared to the other for rendering/encoding/export?

    Your E5-2699 v4 with option 22 carrots (total 44 hearts and 88 discussions) is a loser as first is limited by Microsoft to 64 threads software so the second processor must be turned off or hyperthreading diasbled

  • Why are the prices for Adobe Creative cloud different depending on where you live?

    I like the idea of the creative cloud. However, why is it more expensive if I live in Australia than in the United States? Isn't the point of this new service to have the power you use wherever you are in the world? So there should not be a global price.

    I realize exchange rates and taxes may be different, but this does not explain the significant price difference that we see.

    $49,99 $ US is the only AUD $48.50 yet Australians are charged $62,99 for the same EXACT service? Why RIP us off?

    I also realize the current / former prices of products was ripping the off the Australian for the years... I thought that this new pricing model could just solve that, but alas, we are ALWAYS GOING to BE CHARGED MORE just because of there where we live... WHY?

    Can we just buy an American membership since all products will work anywhere in any case, because it is a Cloud based Computing service?

    See you soon,.

    Nicole

    Well, for completeness, the Australian price you are quoting can be including taxes (GST 10%) while the U.S. price did not - he is quoted before taxes of generally from 7 to 8%...

    If you compare apples to apples then it is closer - but still not the same thing and Adobe has offered an explanation of this in the past.

  • Why the battery in my MacPro 2012 would be idle?

    I had this macpro 2012 5.1 for about a year. I bought it on eBay. It's a great machine.

    I just removed the side panel to upgrade the video card and noticed something that seemed strange to me. When I took the video card, I noticed below on the motherboard, a battery with a battery in it (the usual type of C - Mos in Windows) support.  But there was a nonconductive sleve of plastic between the battery hold down the arms and the top of the stack (so he couldn't establish the electrical contact.  Someone even took a magic marker and made a scratch on the plastic and the battery itself as it to indicate a point of the range, to the case where someone took battery and and put it back, they would be sure and return the piece of plastic, exactly where she was.

    I obviously was not aware of the shortcomings in the functioning of the Macpro, so what is happening here?  What is this battery? Why would he not connected?  It is a real perplexity.  I have not tested the battery, but I bet it's very good because he has never been active.  I hope someone can explain that. I stopped the installation of my new video card until I got this figured out. I hope someone can help!

    Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    The battery keeps the clock running if the computer has no power.  It is not essential if the computer is connected to the internet, because the operating system can obtain the exact network time every time it starts.  If the computer does not have o be connected to power for a long time, isolate the battery with this piece of plastic will make the battery last much longer.  Now, you are going to use the computer, remove the plastic.

  • Remote Desktop. Why the differences?

    In this case I use Remote Desktop to connect a system from Vista Home Premium to Windows XP Professional on a local network.  Still, it establishes a connection, but can behave in 3 different ways:

    1. the session starts and works very well.  After entering the password (I ask the password), it goes directly on the desktop of the remote PC

    2. the session begins, then I am taken to the login screen of the normal remote PC (what you expect to see if you were working on this PC).  When you enter the password, it then goes to the desktop.

    3. I get the blah "can not load your profile...". ", where Windows will load a temporary profile that takes you back office.  Logging and lumbering back to still seems to work, i.e. log on normally.

    So, no show stopping issues, but why?  Certainly why the difference between 1 and 2?  Thoguh that you arrive at the same place, with 2, you get also present with all the other user accounts on this computer.  For my part, it is not a constraint, but what happens if I don't want to have other possibilities of connection presented?  Remote Desktop Client indicates the account to Log On with, so why present all others?  On the question of the profile, there are a lot of intel available, but I have yet to find the cause in my configuration.  It's exhausting rather than as a problem, but I would be very happy to eliminate this behavior.

  • So dead computer battery died. Why the computer is not put in Hibernate or stop safely on its own?

    It must be a problem with Vista. When my computer battery runs out, my computer dies. Why is it not computer smart enough to know the battery died about to close?  When I used XP, the computer would Hibernate protection itself. With Vista, I get a warning that the battery is almost dead, but most of the time I don't get any warnings, the matrices of the computer. Because he died, when I restart the computer, 9 of 10 times I get an error message and several varying options to start in safe mode to start normally.  The other tenth, the computer takes about 20 minutes to get back to normal, sometimes I even to restore the computer to a previous backup. Its been getting worse lately, these last 2 months. When the computer was new 1.8 years ago, I never had to restore when the computer was turned off.
    From the beginning, I returned the computer to bridge and when I came back, they did something that until now I know.  The computer is always went cold Turkey when the battery was missing. Recently, I thought of the situation and realized that it wasn't a gateway problem but a problem with the operating system.

    I'm wrong, it of a Vista problem and shouldn't the computer hibernate or sleep instead of just trying to die and lose everything?

    Make sure that your power options are set correctly:

    Place your mouse over the the battery icon on the taskbar and right click.
    Select "Power Options".

    According to the plan used on your computer, click on "Change Plan settings".

    Click on "change power avancΘs."

    Scroll down and expand the entry for the battery.
    Expand "critical battery Action.
    Make sure it is set to Hibernate or sleep, you like (Hibernate allows you to Exchange batteries without data loss).
    Expand "Critical battery level" and set the battery level at which this action take place (5-7% usually leaves enough power to go in hibernation).

    Click on 'Ok '.
    Once the laptop goes into hibernation, not to interrupt the process by removing the battery until the light on the hard drive and all the other lights stop flashing and power down. Once they have fed completely down (may take a few minutes) you can exchange the batteries safely. To wake up from hibernation, press and release the power (once) button. Function of various factors, your laptop can take 1 to 5 minutes to return to the login screen, although usually, it will be one or two minutes, not five.
    Please let us know if this is not the problem.

  • Why the CPU frequency will be just said to 1189 MHz when the X 230 had AC power ONLY (battery removed)?

    Dear all,

    I bought a X 230 (i7) laptop.  I found that has removed the battery from the laptop and use only the power supply with the X 230 Notenook.  The CPU frequency will said to 1189 MHz.  It will not change no matter how the laptop program is running.  The CPU frequency will increase to 2.9 GHz or up to Turbo when the laptop with battery or battery and AC power.  Why the CPU frequency will be just said to 1189 MHz when the X 230 had AC power ONLY (battery removed)?  This is not good.  No matter which setting in X 230 Notebook need to change?  Help, please.

  • Why has the price of upgrading 140 pounds more expensive in MS Store as Amazon

    Windows 8 Pro Upgrade is only £49.95 on Amazon but a huge £189.99 from Microsoft Store.  How Microsoft can justify this huge price difference greater.

    Due to problems encountered on Feb. 26. by purchasing the Promo Windows 8 Pro Upgrade at a special price, I always try to get Microsoft in honor of that offer.  I spent hours on the phone to discuss this.  They offered to sell me Windows 8 for £25, but I want the original offer for Windows 8 Pro to honor.  I don't think it's unreasonable.

    Please note the price Amazon if you buy the upgrade because you'd be crazy to buy out of this store.

    Please accept this personal view of the appearance that it is offered. I have no intention of starting a flame war; just to explain the situation, as you described and I perceive it.

    The price of the Microsoft Store is the official MSRP possibly adjusted by discounts promotional which is currently in place. Promotional price structures generally have a period of time that they are good for and expected the same price for days, weeks or even months after the expiration of the promotion is unreasonable, not vice versa. If you could not produce promotional at a promotional price during the promotional period, Microsoft will have to be the final arbiter by selling you the product at the promotional price has expired. FWIW, I don't think there is a lot of existing infrastructure designed for selling products at reduced prices in "special" circumstances

    When you look at the price on Amazon, you don't buy it from Amazon. You buy sellers using Amazon as a listing service. These providers may or may not be allowed to officially sell Microsoft products and some have been known to sell illegal software Pseudo-aleatoire legitimate licenses or outright. It is possible that one or more suppliers may have "stored" at a promotional price that was offered earlier and is now expired. In that case, I'd sure that the license you purchase can be used and activated outside its promotional sale period. Caveat emptor.
    This is my point of view on the subject. I am not a Microsoft employee, have no impact on the sales of product policy Microsoft and volunteer my time here. You should consider my statements and advise with this in mind.
  • The fairness of the price... Because I live in canada why should have to pay a lot more due to the exchange rate? How is that fair?

    I contacted the support and all they would do is paid for ten days to use the software when I have to pay additional hundreds because I live in the Canada... As they don't have a price in Canadian dollars and must pay in US Dollars on top of the service charge for currency conversion that would be great if these pay with CAD had a lower price to pay.
