I’m going to run you through options for buying and optimizing replacement batteries. Let me explain my little situation first. At the moment, I have two laptops. To reiterate what these two laptops are, here are the specs: | ////(Old) DV2000t. - *Quickplay 2.x
- *Windows XP Home Edition
- *Intel Core Duo processor T2300 (1.66GHz, 2MB L2 Cache)
- *Ram: 1gb
- *Intel GMA950 Integrated Graphics
- *Hard Drive: 120gb
*14.1" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800) (now some lame matte display) - *Standard 8x DVD-RW drive
- Webcam + Mic
- Intel Pro/Wireless + Bluetooth
12 Cell Battery (Lasts 6 hours) | ////(New) DV6500T CTO
- *Quickplay 3.x
- *Windows Vista Business 32-bit [now w/ Windows XP / Windows 7 Beta 7000 / Ubuntu Hardy Heron]
- *Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.20 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
- *Ram: 2gb DDR2
- *Nvidia 8400m 128mb Dedicated Graphics w/ HDMI
*Hard Drive: 250GB SATA [Got 150GB instead] - *15.4" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
- *Lightscribe Supermulti 8x DVD-RW w/ DL support
- Webcam + Mic
- Intel Pro/Wireless + Bluetooth
12 Cell Battery (Lasts 6 hours) [Got 6 Cell (~2 hours) instead] | *notable upgrades between old and new A little story: What happened was I couldn’t get the first laptop fixed the way I wanted to by HP. The DV2000t had problems with the LCD backlight, as well as the 12 cell battery not charging at times. I also had a BSOD problem relating to the wireless (which was not so often, but still a complaint). So, I sent my old laptop to them. Days later, I get my laptop with a matte (instead of the WXGA glossy) display, no battery, and no BSOD fix. WTF? |

I've recently explored Launchy, a lightweight productivity application that speeds up your common tasks. With a quick alt+space keystroke, you can fire up your installed programs, load up your favorite websites, and even add Google Calendar events through Twitter. It's very similar to Mozilla's Ubiquity that I introduced a while ago, except this functions outside of the Firefox browser. Think of it as Microsoft's Run command, with some tricks and dynamics. A quick user-created plugin after the jump... |
