That’s right, Nokia has recently released, in Hong Kong, the Nokia N96 Bruce Lee limited edition phone.

5 ways to make your laptop battery last longer

Logic will tell you that playing games or watching DVDs on your laptop might just be a slight drain on its battery life. But what else can you do to use your power pack more miserly? Here’s 5 top tips to make your battery life a whole lot longer:

1. Turn everything off
It might seem straightforward, but you’d be amazed at how many people walk around with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi switched on. Turn them off when they’re not in use – which is even easier if you’ve got a hardware switch or keyboard shortcut to do it.

2. Dim the screen
Running out of power fast? Turn the screen brightness down; you’ll be amazed at how much juice it saves. That’s because your screen is the most power-intensive component in your laptop.

3. Unplug unnecessary kit
If you don’t need to have a flash drive or host-powered hard drive plugged in, take it out. This is doubly important for USB wireless adapters, 3G data cards and USB sticks as well as chargeable items such as phones and iPods; they can be very draining.

4. Optimise Power Options
In XP and Vista, visit Power Options in your Control Panel. If miserly power consumption is your top priority, ensure this is reflected in the settings there. Make sure you turn off your screen and hard disk after a short period of inactivity.

5. Battery care
Lithium-Ion batteries don’t need a complete discharge (contrary to popular belief) but also you should use a battery once you’ve charged it. If you have a spare you keep topped up, use that instead of your main regularly. If you have an older non-Lithium-Ion battery, you’ll need to regularly discharge it.

AMD: Radeon HD 4850 X2 is Faster than GTX 280

By Global Admin 0 Comments
Categories: Computer, Gadget and Innovation

Advanced Micro Devices claims that its Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics solution runs faster than NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 280 card. While, for a long time, the 4850 X2 was nothing else but news and rumors.

According to AMD, the Radeon HD 4850 X2 will be better than GeForce GTX 280 in terms of performance. The standard specifications of the card state it featuring two Radeon HD 4850 GPUs clocked at 625MHz, paired with 2GB of 1GHz (2GHz effective) GDDR3 memory. The Sunnyvale company says that, although it has two GPUs, this card will have a power consumption of only 230W under full load.

The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 card features four DVI ports, more than the standard 4870 X2 graphics, which suggests that the card comes with two outputs for each GPU. On the other hand, the card will not be able to exhaust heat directly through the back of the case. It is cooled by a dual-slot, dual-fan solution, a different venting system than the one found on the standard Radeon HD 4870 X2 boards.

The new card comes with two PCI-E power connectors, with eight and six pins respectively. The card also allows for quad CrossFireX setups with another card, since it features the well known CrossFire connector at the top. The Sapphire dual-GPU Radeon HD 4850 X2 already got listed at some on-line retailers, and is priced at 401.86 Euros.

The reference 4850 X2 card hasn’t been released yet, which means that the price of Sapphire’s solution will probably go down, especially since the Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards cost almost the same and offer more performance. AMD hasn’t unveiled any official piece of information on a possible launch date for the card, but it is expected to do so in the near future.
