The simple test of HP Mini 2133 battery

Let us take a look at this HP Mini 2133 battery life. From our point of view before the media coverage of such Internet features of this product is any time a free tour of the Internet. This function perfectly or not, is bound to need strong support of the power system. To this end, the HP Mini 2133 is equipped with a three-core 10.8V 28Wh lithium ion battery, the life test results are as follows:

The final results, in the full-torn BatteryMark 4.0.1, the piece of the battery capacity of adhering to a moderate 73 minutes (in this test phase HP Mini 2133 to 70% of the screen from top to bottom, and power management in XP system on the all power-saving features of the option off). If the day-to-day use, can reduce the screen brightness, and then associated with energy-saving function of the operating system, I believe that this battery may last 100 minutes usage time, the same time the satellite A300 battery can work 250 minutes.

Evaluation of a line of the products are excellent, I believe that their long working hours under the state of the performance of body temperature can also be regarded as one of important criteria. After all, no one is willing to use a long period of time may be the Internet version, the body temperature to achieve the degree of fried eggs. To this end, the author carried out in the HP Mini 2133 battery life test, the use of the testo 825-T2 Infrared Thermometer their body temperature was tested (the testing process in the basic maintenance of the indoor temperature around 25 degrees Celsius ).

To the final testing results, HP Mini 2133 battery in the performance of body temperature can be used in this part of “disorder” to make an assessment. The main heat source is basically in the left side of the keyboard and the left side of the fuselage cooling air vents, under the late拆机inspection, the region where is the processor. VIA C7M processor so “hot” performance really let my accident. In addition, the HP Mini 2133 notebook cooling Apple Design and passive fanless cooling body has some similar, are relying on the most metal body heat away. Therefore, HP Mini 2133 in the use of process engineering plastic materials than other Internet users this will bring the feeling of heat.

Might see here, there will be readers to PC Mark05, 3D Mark06 Although the classic, but I do not know this will be the actual performance of the notebook is. You can not come to the actual point? OK, of course, no problem! The needs of readers, that is our goal. Next, I look for you to display the HP Mini 2133 HD video decoding ability.

Proficiency test in high-definition decoding of H.264 I selected encoding format, video resolution of 1280 × 720 specifications “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to carry out the tests. As shown in the following screenshot, HP Mini 2133 in the performance tests can be described as barely passing. But its good sound, images can be synchronized, the screen is still a natural transition. During playback, HP Mini 2133 occupancy rate of the basic processors in about 90% of the entire process. Used as a VIA S3G UniChrome Pro II integrated GPU, system bus frequency is only 400MHz notebook, this performance is still talking about the past. HP Mini 2133 is HP addtion in netbook to support HP Pavilion DV1000,Pavilion DV3000, DV4000, DV4, DV5, DV7.

As shown in game screenshot, HP Mini 2133 in the performance of the game is also still far from satisfactory. More than two games in high definition is not set up the premise, can smooth out the feeling. Perhaps this author is really some redundant tests, select Netbook “Internet of the” consumer products more convenient for a working or living conditions, most of them has been interested in the age of the game. However, I would like to express here is that, HP Mini 2133 in your spare time can also become a tool for your entertainment pleasure. Perhaps it is not strong enough performance, but occasionally or inadequate.

As HP’s first ultra-portable mobile notebook, HP Mini 2133 HP carried on “with the most user needs for a wide range of mobile solutions,” the commitment to “full-function ultra-portable + + the best experience” to meet the unique advantage of increasingly strong The ultra-portable mobile needs. Its elegant exterior design, whole weight of only 1.19Kg, measuring only 27mm (positive) × 255mm × 165mm, its concise and well anodic alumina shell design, while ensuring at the same time compact and durable machine can reduce the weight of ; in the main configuration, equipped with 1GB or 2GB of memory (only has one memory slot settings), Genuine Windows Vista Home operating system, as well as standard disk drives, can provide fairly good experience.

HP Mini 2133 Review of the advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages : 1, many of the products in the Internet the only model of a metal material, and excellent mold design
2, speaker sound quality on both sides of the screen, in many of the Internet’s most successful products
3, such as 3D DriveGuard with hardware and software protection system hard drive, hard drive data more secure
4, key-bit layout is unreasonable, moderate-size keyboard, excellent use of hand
5, to break the trade restrictions, the provision of 2GB memory as XPS M1530 XPS M1730 PC, 160GB hard drive configuration

1, the normal body process of high temperature than those for similar models, the use of higher ambient temperature
2, pre-installed Vista system, the current allocation of the burden too heavy
3, six-core version does not provide battery life is too short

Dell 4 cells 2200mAh inspiron Mini 9 battery test

Last night I ran a quick test on how long my new Dell Inspiron Mini 9’s battery would last under “normal netbook workload”.

This is the Dell inspiron Mini 9 battery Detail info:

14.8V 4Cells 32.4WAh Li-ion battery (As HP Pavilion DV4 battery, Pavilion DV5 battery, Pavilion DV7 battery, Pavilion DV3000 battery)

Dell inspiron Mini 9 batetry Test Details:

• OS: Gentoo Linux (what else? )
• Running programs: KDE 4, Konqueror, Thunderbird (fetching mail via IMAPS every 5 minutes)
• Conditions:
• Wireless connection to Internet, shell script kills and reloads Konqueror with three websites every two minutes (emulating a user who browses the WWW).
• Display set to lowest brightness level, screensaver / standby / etc. deactivated so that it was switched on all the time.

Lenovo Thinkpad X300 further Review

ThinkPad X300 reason of concern because of its research and its technologies are used in many of today’s popular ultra-portable notebook at the same time has always been the focus of attention. Light is the biggest selling point, ThinkPad X300 lightest to 1.33 kilograms (even if the choice of optical drive, weighs only 1.42 kilograms), the thinnest Department only 18.6 millimeters, at the same time with a 7 mm ultra-thin double-layer recordable DVD drive (Also Dell latitude D620 battery use this DVD driver), you can easily Add bags or luggage.

Thinkpad X300 Specs

It to a lot of people compare Apple Macbook Air Apple Macbook Air as "the ultimate thin and light" and the ThinkPad X300 is a "no compromise light" here refers to the uncompromising performance, the existence of Apple Macbook Air interface less than , non-standard optical disk drive, memory card there, and many other battery change not regret, and the ThinkPad X300 is more comprehensive.

Light, is the beginning of thin ThinkPad X300 notebook to get the first impression, as is currently the lightest full-featured notebook 13 inches, really deserves. Whole transmission is still the appearance of the "black" appearance of the classic, although the machine has been monotonous black as main color, but it gives the feeling of losing fashion. Its powerful battery is litium battery as VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS11 VGP-BPS13. The reason why such a thin and light ThinkPad X300 with its use of the material body has a great relationship, X300 using CFRP carbon fiber and glass fiber GFRP as top and bottom of the body material, to ensure a solid body of good control at the same time weight machine.

Thinkpad X300 battery using locking design, unlock the front left is located in the fuselage, one-handed opening and closing of the notebook some difficulties, but the benefits of this design is the security of the notebook have a good guarantee. Of course, there are less than each notebook, I use the X300 for some time, found that the shaft resistance of a small notebook, so I do not know the design of the notebook, or more than the number of opening and closing of cause; In addition, the skin texture of the matte notebook region, if the user the situation in this touching and humid, it is easy to leave a mark, but it is very difficult to remove.

Thinkpad X300 interior design, in the whole extension of the ThinkPad is still the IBM traditional style, in the middle of the screen set up above the 1.3 million-pixel camera, the camera lights next to the keyboard, user-friendly to use in the dark. In the look down in the notebook inside of the two axes are the logo and the Lenovo logo X300.

Relatively rich interface X300 is a big selling point, many people give up Apple Macbook Air and X300 choose one of the major reasons is because this point. Although the X300 compared to the ordinary 13-inch notebook interface or worse, but has been used to meet the day-to-day. The following is a notebook specific distribution of the interface.

In fact, the whole performance of X300 can only say that it is ordinary, Core 2 Duo L7100 processor frequency of only 1.2GHz as thinkpad X200 battery, but the application of the ordinary day-to-day, or enough. In fact, the hardware configuration of the X300’s biggest bright spot is the hard drive is equipped with, X300 uses SSD solid state hard drive, SSD solid state drive uses NAND flash memory, hard drive not have to worry about the collision of data loss, which greatly raised the hard disk data security.

Overall, this notebook is remarkable, 13-inch thin frame, 1.33 kilograms of whole weight, the excellent performance of the hard drive, LED screen, said to be worthy of the ThinkPad family of a milestone for inspiron 6000. But there are also many places with some regret that the general processor performance, interface, or a little weak, especially the price of the current wetlands, or some to be prohibitive. The X300 is currently priced at 24,999 yuan, more suitable for high-end business users, especially for a portable notebook and endurance than the value of this part of users.

Customers Rating :

Doesn’t hold much charge, maybe an hour (when it was NEW). Now that it is a year old, it holds ZERO charge. If I unplug my computer, the battery holds no charge and the computer crashes immediately. Poor quality, poor value.

The battery that came with my M1730 is so weak my computer shuts down 10 sec after I unplug it. I did not use the battery much - always plugged in. The price is absolutely ridiculous for something that only lasts a year and provides 1 hour of power.

In the end the xps m1730 battery is a new battery as sony VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS9 VGP-BPS13.There maybe some replacement in the market, you can select a cheap replacement for your OEM battery when you long working with battery. As the frequent "long time discharging" can damage your OEM battery.

Repair battery 1: calibrate cell

First of all, the test voltage to zero, the machine can not start naturally, can not use power when charging (the battery light does not shine).

Disassemble the battery, more or less talk about the situation inside the battery.

Battery in a total of 9 can be placed 18 millimeters in diameter, length 65 mm core CGH18650 models the location of lithium batteries, Panasonic’s 22 batteries in parallel, three groups of series (OK, then my new Latitude D620 battery, the same, it appears that is 6), there is a very fine control with a single chip - the protection of the circuit, the circuit to the computer a total of five output contacts, respectively, are negative, the clock and data.

First of all, check the sticky in the battery temperature detection probe (temperature resistance), and temperature protection insurance, are also normal. Test-retest the battery voltage of each group, in which two sets of battery voltage of 3.8V, normal; a battery voltage of 0V, appear to have lapsed. The total battery voltage of 7.6V, then the failure of the battery pack has not yet open, then measuring the internal resistance was very small, almost in a state short-circuit.

First of all, failure to deal with Thinkpad T60 batteries, battery repair based on previous experience, the failure of the battery may not be completely damaged, can be activated through a number of methods, in particular the performance of state for the short-circuit the battery. The voltage of the battery to 0 with one end connected to the circuit board off line to avoid damage to circuit boards in operation. Open-circuit battery voltage after the re-survey, is still 0V, ruled out the possibility of short-circuit boards.

For short-circuit the battery failure, the method is more effective high-voltage electric current moment method, using the old IBM power supply (my back-up power), 16V maximum 3A output string on the multimeter (a tributary of the current file 20A), first negative power supply Even with the battery anode, and cathode power multimeter then red table pen, table pen with black multimeter battery cathode touch, speed, faster as far as possible, the former two degrees to see the multimeter has reached close to the 2A (moment) and the third on only 0.4 A about an immediate stop, measure the battery voltage has been restored to about 3V, the internal battery short-circuit that point has been an instant high-current boil (If you do not damage the battery to stop immediately, even if so, battery life and capacity have been the impact, if conditional, or recommend replacement, but if the replacement, then try to replace the entire battery pack are). However, the batteries need to be a separate charge (if the battery charge of the whole group, this will result in the other two groups had mesenchymal cells), plug in the charger to start charging ammeter to monitor during the charge current to 500mA or so, current for the 3.6AH battery pack is small, but the charger is the charge current is limited and a small current to the xps m1330 battery charge is good for the resumption. After about six hours, the charger showed the battery is already full, continue to re-charge for about two hours, remove the battery, measure voltage has reached 4.2V, with bright halogen bulb in the flashlight (3V, 500mA) to discharge its , bulb sharp discharge current of 700mA, the battery pack that has been basically restored, continue to discharge until the battery voltage down to 3.8V, the purpose of the two groups with the same battery voltage, charging time together so as not to overcharge the Back to the whole battery pack battery circuit welding.

Since the inspiron 6400 battery voltage while the circuit board there is no output, then, surely have damaged circuit boards, after observation, negative input circuit board (take battery) output (then output contact) is directly connected, and the positive input and output of by a high-power thyristor control, the thyristor remains cut-off state, that is, the control circuit has not been output control signals to the SCR control terminal, or simply the SCR has been destroyed. (Measured after the control signals that I did not) because I do not have the ability to repair single-chip microcomputer. IBM to take into account the protection of the BB more perfect, is about to run out of battery power will automatically shut down when, this battery is intended to be used for entertainment, therefore, need not be too concerned about, so I decided to shake the hp battery protection circuit, directly depend on BB’s protection circuit. SCR is in the input and output pin (that is, cathode circuit board input and output pin) between the solder on a small 2A fuse, fuse 2A select the reason is based on current usage, the largest in the computer power consumption , the current does not exceed 1.9A, 2A capacity sufficient unusual circumstances (for example, short-circuit accident) but also to ensure that the fuse of the time, but also play a role in protection.

In fact, directly to the SCR control terminal so that it can also be a high turn-on, but taking into account the current the battery must be a reason to burn, and the reasons for the identification of protective measures taken before or better in order to avoid greater loss.

Well, the battery power has been the first non-stick, and on the machine to try it! Normal boot, plug in the power immediately after the charge on the flashing lights are up, the way when charging the battery with a random look at battery information management software, was also displayed, the battery circuit board This shows that the single chip is still working.

Batteries battery is a Panasonic, the time the factory in June 2000, the first time in October 2000, the design capacity of 38.88Wh, the current capacity 38.88Wh, is charging cycle: 0 times.

Oh, do not know how to engage in, the inspiron 1300 battery may be burned when burning confused, even cycles to the zero, Now it maybe a new battery.

Dell XPS M1530 battery customer ratings

Owerhouse of a battery. Charge lasted far longer than the 6 Cell I had prior. I still liked the look of my computer even though this battery was bigger (More bigger than inspiron 1520 1720 9cells battery). The extra weight was not a problem (I am female and not very big.)

It Made my computer (XPS M1530 Laptop) so hot I had to return it and buy the 6 Cell. I could feel the heat off the touch pad and where I place my left hand when typing (where the hard drive is located.)

ConsThis battery is nothing special. Yes it is 9 cells but the poor quality of the battery counteracts the fact that it has 2 extra cells as 9cells latitude D620 battery and latitude D820.

I called tech help who did verify that the battery has more "mass" therefore would be hotter. I was surprised by this because what I had read here had me thinking it would be cooler than the 6 cell. It wasn’t. Too bad it was neat.

In all , this 9 Cells XPS M1530 battery is more powerful than 6 Cells XPS M1530 battery, also it become more hotter than 6 cells..
