If you need help with putting a large computer purchase in your vehicle, the people at the Apple Store will happily take it out on a small hand dolly.And if you should happen to have a technical failure, the people there are able to replace something like a failed pair of headphones with a brand new pair right away.

iTunes was also a major factor in the success of Apple(Apple A1175 Battery)’s portable music player, the iPod. Working together as a single “ecosystem,” iTunes and iPods created a seamless software and hardware solution for gathering music and playing it on the go.

Within a few minutes, the upgrade will be completed and it will restart with the new version of Windows 7 installed. You also have other operating systems you can install, such as Linux if that is your flavor. Below is a screen shot of Ubuntu 9.10 running on the Samsung N130 Netbook. You can install any version you wish, however, be mindful of driver issues as the Realtek card used with the N130 was not automatically recognized by Ubuntu and I had to download and compile a driver for the wireless network to use it on my own.

Entourage Systems Inc., the startup behind the product, says it’s working on getting the Edge to consume less power when closed, and hopes to be able to send a software update out in June.

The other problems with the Edge are that it’s heavy, at about 3 pounds. The Kindle weighs two-thirds of a pound. For 9, you’d expect the Edge to have cellular wireless access for book and newspaper downloads, as the 9 Kindle and the 0 Sony(VGP-BPS2C Battery) Reader Daily Edition do. Instead, it has only Wi-Fi access.

There’s no doubt that wiggling beyond the confines of OS X’s EULA is an individual ethical call, but netbook owners who do have great rewards to look forward to. or anyone who has ever considered installing Snow Leopard on that tiny Atom-powered laptop collecting dust in the corner, MyMacNetbook is shaping up to be an excellent resource.

Unfortunately, with a body this thin, there’s not much room for a Dell XPS M1330 battery. In our video playback battery drain test, the Adamo XPS ran for only 1 hour and 23 minutes, a score we’d expect to see only from the biggest of desktop replacements. Considering this system had an SSD hard drive and a ULV processor, that’s especially poor. In anecdotal testing, however, we got a little between 2 and 2.5 hours of general use from the slim battery pack when surfing the Web, working on office docs, etc.

PowerTrunk announced that it has received FCC and Industry Canada type acceptance for its TETRA 0.2 mobile and portable digital radios. The radio uses an emissions mask that is different than what is used for TETRA radios in other parts of the world, which is important, said Steve Smith, the company’s sales director.

Talking about Dell’s recent moves, Garde said, “At Dell, a reinvented mobile computing portfolio meant a line-up of new personal computing devices that boasted of award-winning design. Thin remains in and we see a definite niche in the premium craftsmanship market, where we launched the new brand of Adamo by Dell(Inspiron 6400 Battery) and its successor Adamo XPS. We continue to believe there is a need to meet the needs of specific segments, and within our specialized SMB dedicated portfolio, it was a successful year for the Vostro range, including the ultra-portable Vostro 1220 and the Vostro V 13 for premium mobility, design and built-in security—all at an affordable price.”

In terms of features, the T410 includes everything you’d expect, plus a few extras not found on competing laptops. It has four USB 2.0 ports, with one port that you can set up to provide power even when the laptop is off (i.e. for charging a cell phone, iPod, or similar device). It has an eSATA port and mini-FireWire, providing all the external interfaces users are likely to need. An optional docking station connects via the bottom of the laptop,providing for additional USB and video outputs. The T410 includes a VGA output with DisplayPort as the digital output option; single-link resolutions will work fine with a simple adapter, but if you want to run a high resolution 2560×1440/2560×1600 LDC you’ll need an active adapter—which can cost 0

The laptop does offer a decent array of Fn keys which allow you to perform common tasks such as dimming the display, adjusting the volume, toggling the wireless, or putting the computer to sleep using keyboard shortcuts.The touchpad is decent, but nothing to write home about. It’s about the same width as the space bar, although the touchpad is located a tiny bit to the left of the space bar.
