Console Bundles And Accessory Discounts

Console Bundles And Accessory Discounts Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
It's Black Friday 2015, which means shoppers are looking for the best Xbox One deals. Microsoft took some of the mystery out of what's happening during the annual shopping event by announcing a $50 discount on all Xbox One console bundles. In addition to the Microsoft deal, retailers are also offering additional discounts on games and accessories. Here's a guide for the retailers that are offering the best Xbox One deals on Black Friday 2015.
There are many Xbox One Black Friday deals at GameStop, but shoppers might with adapter such as Dell Precision M50 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude CP AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude C840 AC Adapter, Dell Precision M2400 AC Adapter, Dell XPS 1640 AC Adapter, Dell XPS 1340 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 1200 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 1320 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 1510 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 1000 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro A860 AC Adapteravoid the Xbox One "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition" bundle that's discounted to $299.99 because there will be better deals for the console. All Xbox One console bundles will be discounted by $50, but some retailers are throwing in additional games. For $349.99, GameStop is offering the "Gears of War" bundle along with "Ori" and "Rare Replay," but you're not saving much on those games. The Turtle Beach XO One Xbox One headset is $49.99, a savings of $30.
The Xbox One wireless controller is $49.99, a discount of $10, while the Lunar White Xbox One wireless controller is $44.99. "Forza 5" is also discounted to $49.99. "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is marked down to $29.99 and comes with a free Steel Book Game Box. Purchasing the full-price "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" gets you "Assassin's Creed Unity" for free. Other games are reduced by $5, $10 and $15.
This may be the best game-related Black Friday 2015 deal out there. Dell has one Xbox One deal, but it's worth checking out if you're in the market for a new console. The Xbox One "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition" bundle is $299. The console bundle will be featured across retailers, but Dell is throwing in "Fallout 4" and an extra controller free.
For Black Friday, Best Buy is offering a Xbox One "Rise of the Tomb Raider" bundle for $349.99. The set includes a free controller along with "Rise of the Tomb Raider" and 2013's "Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition."

The Xbox One Black Friday deals at Walmart are pretty similar to those of other retailers. No Xbox One console bundles are advertised, but it's likely Walmart is participating in the $50 discount announced by Microsoft. Xbox One controllers are reduced to $39. Electronic Arts titles such as "FIFA '16" and "Madden '16" are on sale for $27. Walmart is offering a slate of games for $35, including "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain," and select titles, including "Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt," for $25.
While Dell throws in a free controller and "Fallout 4" for Black Friday, Target also has a pretty great Xbox One Black Friday deal.

No discounts for "Halo 5: Guardians" or "Forza 6," but shoppers will get a $15 gift card with purchase. Target also has games for $20, $25 and $35.

The online retailer will feature the $50 discount for Xbox One bundles. During its Black Friday deals week, Amazon will roll out accessory and Xbox One game deals throughout the day.

Dell PowerEdge 13G R230

Dell PowerEdge 13G R230 Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Launched today, the Dell PowerEdge 13G Wave 4 Servers are 1-socket rack and tower servers designed for distributed applications in SMB, hosting, and OEM. The Servers consist of 4 units: two tower units: the T130 and T330 and two rack units: the R230 and R330. Touted as an ideal first server or replacement server for driving applications in SMB and SOHO, the Wave 4 servers offers many improvements over their predecessors, including greater memory capacity, more hard drives and I/O slots, and improved data throughput and IOPs performance. Like all recent PowerEdge solutions, the Wave 4 servers support the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC8) with Lifecycle Controller making them viable feature-reach, remote management solutions for SOHO, ROBO, or large organizations with adapter like Dell XPS M1410 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 2500 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 3600 AC Adapter, Dell smartstep 250N AC Adapter, Dell Latitude LS500 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 2100 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 14z AC Adapter, Dell Latitude E6400 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude E5500 AC Adapter, Dell Precision M4300 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 1720 AC Adapter, Dell Studio 1557 AC Adapter.
The PowerEdge 13G Wave 4 servers are scalable for data growth as they support up to either four or eight internal 3.5-inch cabled or hot-plug hard drives. In addition, users can expand the Wave 4 memory capacity via their four DIMM slots, which supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory for 33% increase in memory performance over DDR3 technology as well as reliable application performance and faster response times. They are virtualization-ready servers supporting Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V, VMWare vSphere ESXi and Citrix XenServer (the R330 also supports the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization hypervisor as well), adding a ton of flexibility when workload conditions change.
Dell’s new Wave 4 servers also leverage the latest Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v5 product family for an overall boost in compute performance for a large array of different applications. Additionally, users can take advantage of the two to four PCIe Gen 3.0 slots to boost I/O data throughput for twice the data throughput compared to PCIe Gen 2.0. Dell also indicates that their PERC9 (PowerEdge RAID Controller 9) delivers two times the IOPS performance compared to the previous-generation PERC8.
For this review we will be looking at the T330, the R230, and the R330 all of which have been equipped with Intel's new Skylake DT E3-1230 v5 CPU. The configurations we received were identical outside of form factor, so our performance data will focus on only one single device as the numbers would have been the same if all three were tested. In this case we tested the R230.

7 Tech Trends to Be Thankful for Today

7 Tech Trends to Be Thankful for Today Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Most of the year, what do we do? We sit around and grouse about our technology. “My calls drop!” “The WiFi is so slow!” “Apple changed the design of its laptop power connectors again!”
But today is Thanksgiving! Today is the day to sit back, pat our tummies, and ponder all the good things tech has brought us. And if you really think about it, there’s actually quite a lot to be grateful for.
At one point, 69 percent of all smartphone thefts reported in San Francisco with such as Dell Vostro 2510 AC Adapter, Dell Studio 1745 AC Adapter, Dell Studio 1536 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude E6500 AC Adapter, Dell Precision M90 AC Adapter, Dell XPS M1710 AC Adapter, Dell 9T215 AC Adapter, Dell N5825 AC Adapter, Dell K9060 AC Adapter, Dell 9T458 AC Adapter, Dell Vostro 3500 AC Adapter, Dell RX929 AC Adapter, and 40 percent in New York City, involved stolen iPhones.
Then, in 2013, Apple introduced a feature it called activation lock. What a brilliant, incredibly simple idea: Thieves can’t erase, jailbreak, or restore an iPhone without knowing your Apple password. And if they can’t erase an iPhone, they can’t resell it. And if they can’t resell it, why would they bother stealing it in the first place?
You might never even realize that this feature is protecting you—but it’s been disastrous for the thieves. Within months of activation lock’s introduction, iPhone robberies dropped 40 percent in San Francisco, 30 percent in New York City, and 50 percent in London. (During the same period, the rate of stolen Samsung Galaxy phones [without kill switches] increased.)
California, impressed, passed a new law making this “kill switch” feature mandatory in all phones—and today, similar features are in, or coming soon, to phones from Google, Samsung, and Microsoft.
The bottom line is that if your phone hasn’t been stolen, it may well be because of a feature you didn’t even know was working for you.
I wonder if any environmental scientist has ever tallied up the millions of tons of carbon dioxide that Google Maps has kept out of the atmosphere—by eliminating mindless driving around, lost?
I wonder if anyone appreciates that only eight years ago, getting real-time traffic data shown by the road colors in Google Maps, cost $80 a year on GPS units?
I wonder if anyone realizes how great the Google Maps app is, even if you never go anywhere—because it incorporates a global Yellow Pages of information about every business everywhere? Store hours, phone numbers, even photos.
The most amazing part: All of this is free!
A year ago, our lives were made miserable by clickbait headlines: obnoxious teaser headlines, like, “You Won’t Believe What This Coed Did To Her Boyfriend” or “This Man Was Issued A Ticket. His Response Was Brilliant!” They’re always overhyped, and often deceptive—all in the name of driving up a Web site’s traffic.

Fujitsu Stylistic R726 convertible

Fujitsu Stylistic R726 convertible Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Fujitsu Ac Adapter
The R726 is a 12.5" convertible housed in a magnesium-aluminum chassis with an integrated kickstand. The touch screen is a 1920x1080 PLS unit with maximum brightness of 400 cd/m². Buyers get a choice of two Skylake CPUs: a dual-core, four-thread Core i3-6100U clocked at 2.3Ghz, or its similar Core i5-6200U cousin, which has clock speeds ranging from 2.3 GHz to 2.8 GHz. The CPU is paired with 4 GB of RAM. Storage duties are handled by an OPAL-capable M.2 SATA SSD with capacity up to 512GB. A microSD slot is present, too, accepting cards up to 128GB.
The R726 talks to the outside world with a 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter with like Fujitsu FMV-AC314 AC Adapter, Fujitsu FMV-AC304B AC Adapter, Fujitsu FPCAC45 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Amilo A6600 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Amilo D8820 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Amilo L7320 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Amilo V8210 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Celcius H240 AC Adapter, Fujitsu FMV-C6210 AC Adapter, Fujitsu FMV-NB80M AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook 8020 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook A1010 AC Adapterand a Gigabit Ethernet port.

Nov 1809:53 AM+-+3What is the appeal of these convertibles? They have terrible weight distribution and need kick stands and other things that only work at restricted angles or not at all. Or they add extra weight into the keyboard so it kinda sorta stays up without one(kinda). If asus were to make a netbook today it would be 500g and have 16hrs of battery life but instead we just get these over and over. wtfbbq....wtfbbq indeed.

Commercial Windows 10 Tablet

Commercial Windows 10 Tablet Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Fujitsu Ac Adapter
A fingerprint scanner is on the rear of the device itself and the aluminum kickstand lets you hold the device when used as a pure tablet. The device has two USB ports, one full size USB-A and a USB-C supporting Thunderbolt docking. HP offers multiple docking options: the USB-C-based adapter and a traditional Thunderbolt docking station with its high-end HP Wireless Docking Station, which offers based Wigig where "you get zero latency, dual display kind of functionality," Hartsfield explained.
Other aspects of the new device Hartsfield emphasized is the Elite X2 1012's support for Intel's vPro systems management, HP Client Management Solution and the company's own HP Client Security offering. Also included is HP's SureStart bios with adapter such as Fujitsu LifeBook N5010 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook N6420 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook S6520 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook S7000 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook S7220 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook T1010 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook T4020 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook V1040 AC Adapter, Fujitsu Mobile S AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook T4010 AC Adapter, Fujitsu LifeBook V1020 AC Adapter One capability that may appeal to many IT pros is the standard screws used on the HP device that lets IT pros open the system to replace the battery, drives or upgrade memory themselves if they choose, or even remove the drive before sending it back for servicing, which is a requirement of many government agencies. The kickstand can withstand 10 lbs. of pressure but if it breaks, it too is connected to the device by screws, making it easy to replace, Hartsfield said.
The Bang & Olufsen audio and multiple microphones with HP's noise cancelling software make the device suitable for Skype for Business or other types of conferencing services. The HP Active Pen, which enables the launch of any app with the push of a button, supports 2,048 pressure points compared with the Surface Pen's 1,024.
While it has a number of features the Surface Pro 4 lacks, many do overlap (both offer TPM and lack fans) and there are some areas the Microsoft offering outshines the new HP device. The Surface Pro 4 has a 12.3-inch 2736x1824 display compared with the Elite 1012 G1's 12-inch 1920x1280 display), and HP's device weighs 2.72 pounds with the travel keyboard (2.89 pounds with the advanced keyboard) compared with 1.73 lbs. for the Surface Pro 4. Also, the Surface Pro 4 comes available with Core M processors as well as Intel's 6th Generation i5 and I 7 processors with SSDs up to 1TB, while the new HP system only comes with a number of Core M processors and maxes out with a 512GB SSD.
Hartsfield said to expect additional configurations to appear but believes the Core M processor is best suited for a fanless system and to ensure optimal battery life. "Core M is a really great choice. This is for the mobile professional and executives that are using PowerPoint and Office or watching movies on a plane," he said. "This is for the person who is always on the move needing ubiquitous connectivity, and the ability to use a real keyboard and a good mouse experience."
Microsoft's release of the Surface Pro, which HP also now resells, has helped shape the market for tablet PCs, Hartsfield said. "I'm glad they created a category that needed to be created," Hartsfield said. "And I'm glad that they spent the better part of $1 billion marketing it to create awareness. We weren't first but I do think we're best. I think one of the things you'll see from HP Inc. as a new company is we've got our innovation mojo back."

HP Challenges Surface Pro

HP Challenges Surface Pro Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
HP Inc., the new PC and printer business that spun off of Hewlett Packard Co. earlier this month, is planning to offer a combined Windows 10-based PC-tablet in January that it believes will appeal to businesses. However, like Microsoft's Surface Pro 4, it may have some limitations for their enterprise environments. The company has taken the wraps off the HP Elite x3 1012 G1, which looks like a Surface Pro by sporting a similar 12-inch display but is completely encased in aviation-grade aluminum, has more interfaces, added security support and a wider array of peripherals. Detailed pricing wasn't released other than the entry price will be $899, which will include a standard keyboard and pen.
Like the most recent Surface Pro modes, the new Elite x2 1012 with adapter such as Compaq Presario 1600 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 1700 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 1800 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 2700 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 2900 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 800 AC Adapter, HP Omnibook 2100 AC Adapter, HP Omnibook 4100 AC Adapter, HP Omnibook 7100 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N3000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N5000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N6000 AC Adapterdoesn't have a fan, has a kickstand and is designed to offer 10 hours of battery life (actually Microsoft rates the Surface Pro 4 at 9 hours). In a one-hour meeting in New York this week with Keith Hartsfield, VP of mobility and product management with HP's personal systems group, I had the opportunity to look at the system and it definitely had a more commercial feel without taking on any industrial (aka ruggedized) characteristics. It's thin with a much more solid keyboard also made of aluminum. Actually, HP offers two keyboard options: standard and one that's a hair thicker to support smartcards or NFC.

Formnext International AM Conference

Formnext International AM Conference Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
If interest in a product or technology can be measured by the number of conferences dedicated to showcasing what it has to offer, then its certain interest in additive manufacturing (AM) continues to grow. For years, shows such as RAPID or Euromold were the best (nearly only) options to learn about new AM breakthroughs, and mingle with experts and industry insiders. As AM continues to gain steam, more conferences have become available, including the Inside 3D Printing shows, and now formnext.
Based in Frankfurt, Germany, formnext is underway now. It is being positioned as an alternative to Euromold for the 3D printing industry. While Euromold is the largest European conference, it isn’t solely dedicated to AM. With Formnext with batetry scuh as hp compaq R3000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NX9100 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NX9110 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZV5000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZD7000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZX5000 AC Adapter, HP ZV5200 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario r4000 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario R4200 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario x6000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq nx9600 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion zd8000 AC Adapter, however, the spotlight is firmly on the possibilities offered by 3D printing. With participants including AM heavyweights such as EOS, Stratasys, 3D Systems, Autodesk, and even HP, there is sure to be substance to go along with the shine.
“Our goal was to make a well-educated decision for the future of our company and for our industry,” said Adrian Keppler, CMO, EOS Germany. “After a thorough analysis of all possible alternatives, we feel that formnext has the biggest potential to become the long-term global AM lead show of the future, as such offering the best platform we can currently think of to support further extensive market development of the entire AM industry. We look forward to meeting all relevant AM players at this show in Frankfurt.”
Topics covered at the conference involve everything from dental prosthetics to engine construction. Audi is presenting a demonstration about the history of toolmaking, and how it has been impacted by 3D printing. Another interesting topic discussed at the conference examines when AM is and is not the best option for parts manufacturing.
3DS is showcasing showcase its “digital thread solutions” for software and 3D printing, demonstrating what it calls “the seamless design-to-manufacturing workflow” it enables. It will also demonstrate the ProX 100 Direct Metal Printer on the show floor.
No conference would be complete without new releases.

That is the exact opposite of the way that I think about objects. Mine is “hold it up in front of your face and realize that you’ve never looked at it before and realize that it was injection molded and came through this port in China and it is actually a mystical object.” I don’t care if it gives me joy. It’s a mystical object. It is what it is.
Part of the irony of the phrase “suspended objects” is that it’s supposed to mean that I suspended them from their trajectory. But in reality all objects are currently suspended wherever they are.
Another phrase I use is “imminent trash.” People who have things in their garages for 10 years are not interested in owning that object — but also not interested in going through the effort of getting rid of it. That object is psychologically trash already with adapter like HP Pavilion zd8400 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion zv6000 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario 2500 AC Adapter, HP Compaq nx9000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N5270 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N5400 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE1200 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE4000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE4500 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE5000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE5500 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NX9420 AC Adapter. Loading it into a truck and taking it to the dump is just moving it. So I am really interested in these orphan objects that are in transition. Stuck in this garage purgatory.
I don’t need to see things through a lens of usefulness or efficiency or happiness. All objects are almost paralyzingly interesting now. It can be very distracting. Everything recedes infinitely outward. But it is a more interesting way of being in the world.
I Just applied for a residency on a container ship. If I get it, I wanted to bring some of my objects with me to Shenzhen, the port they came out of.
I’m doing a second phase of the project this summer as an artist in residence at the Palo Alto Art Center. In that one, I’m asking people to bring me objects. It’s a trade — you tell me the story of your object as it played out in your life, and in return I will give you the story of the object when it was manufactured up until the point where you acquired it.
And only after that exchange has occurred will I get rid of the object. So it’s ongoing.

Lenovo Yoga 900

Lenovo Yoga 900 Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
I’m a fan of 2-in-1 computers. Ever since I acquired the HP Spectre x360 earlier this year (review HERE), I can’t see myself using any other type of portable computer. 2-in-1’s give me true lapability with quick-o change-o touchscreen tablet abilities. With a quick twist of the wrist a 2-in-1 allows me to go from mouse and keyboard productivity to touchscreen fury in seconds. Microsoft touts lapability with the Surface Pro 3 and 4, but if you’ve ever used a 2-in-1 for any length of time you know that the Surface tablet line still leaves a bit to be desired in this area. Plus, a 2-in-1 doesn’t give you “Surface thighs” – you know, when you use the Surface on your lap and the kickstand leaves thin, red indentations in your legs like you’ve been sunbathing, face down on an old-style lounge chair with adapter like HP Compaq NX6310 AC Adapter, HP DV4 AC Adapter, HP DV5 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario M2000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NC8000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion N5400 AC Adapter, HP Compaq v2000 AC Adapter, HP Compaq NX8220 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE4500 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE2000 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario V6000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DM1 AC Adapter.
Being enamored with 2-in-1’s and having grown fully charmed by the HP Spectre x360, every single laptop or similar device I’ve tested this year has (unfortunately) been scrutinized and compared against the Spectre. If HP doesn’t win some sort of 2015 design award for the Spectre x360, I’ll be surprised. But, here’s the thing – I believe that the Lenovo Yoga 900 is better. It took almost the entire 2015 calendar year, but someone finally manufactured a unit that I believe is better than the HP Spectre x360. And, I think it really has a lot to do with the length of my testing. There’s nothing major about the Yoga 900 that makes it superior to the Spectre, but it’s the little things – the extra attention to detail – that make it stand out that can only be experienced by using it longer than a couple days. So, Lenovo is actually pretty fortunate I was on my way out the door for another week-long trip when the Yoga 900 arrived. I had enough time to setup and personalize the Yoga 900 and take it with me to be my single computer for the week.
Even though I’ll admit that the Yoga 900 is a better device than the HP Spectre x360, it’s not perfect. So, let’s start there. There are a few dings I give the Yoga 900 that I think are minor, but for some of you may represent a deal-breaker.
Dings:
•Unwanted software – Ah, Lenovo. Blasted in the news and by journalists for installing spyware, the company can’t seem to realize that customers really don’t want extra software. With the Yoga 900, Lenovo doesn’t mend any fences. There’s a litany of “Lenovo” branded apps pre-installed and none of them are very good. They are easy to enough uninstall, but still, a clean PC should be a goal for a company trying to prove its not spying on customers. On first boot, I was confronted with a McAfee security screen asking me to sign-up for a subscription. No thanks.
•Doesn’t offer pen support – The HP Spectre x360 offers pen support, the Lenovo Yoga 900 doesn’t. The one for the Spectre is an additional, semi-expensive add-on but at least HP gave credence to those that might possibly want the ability. However, it’s now almost 8 months since the Spectre release and I don’t see too many people using a pen on a tablet regularly – even on Microsoft’s Surface line.
•AC Adapter is too bulky – Lenovo provides a unique power adapter with the Yoga 900, but it’s just too bulky. On a power strip or in a two-socket power outlet, the size and shape of the AC adapter means you sometimes can’t plug in anything else beside it.

Each piece of garbage has a story

Each piece of garbage has a story Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
All futures wind up in the dump. In that sense, artist Jenny Odell’s Bureau of Suspended Objects project — which explores the fuzzy line between art object and junk — fit right in at Fusion’s Real Future Fair in San Francisco, where I first heard about it. As you might expect from the event’s name, there was a lot of future on display — future food, future therapists, future dildos. Odell’s work focused on the far end of the futurism paradigm, where today’s futures land on the trash heap.
Pictured above is the public disposal area of San Francisco trash collector Recology’s dump — which is to say that it’s not the place that the city dump trucks go to, but the place where people come to pay the dump to take stuff off their hands. Odell was given an empty shopping cart and license to take anything she wanted from this room, as long as she stayed away from the giant claw that was pulverizing stuff with adapter such as HP Pavilion DM3 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV1000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV4000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV5000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV6000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion DV8000 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZE4900 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion ZT3000 AC Adapter, HP TouchSmart TX2 AC Adapter, HP DC895A AC Adapter, HP EG410AA AC Adapter, HP EH642A AC Adapter. Her project was part of an artists’ residency that Recology has been doing for the last 25 years.
When Odell first arrived at the dump, her studio was empty. She pulled things from the pile until she had the makings of an office: A desk. A chair. A few fake office plants.
Then she got down to business. She took the empty shopping cart out again and began looking through the dump. When she found an object she was curious about, she investigated it like a detective and recorded her findings. Where had it been designed? Where was the factory that made it? How excited were people about it when it came out? How far had it traveled from the place where it was made to this spot, a municipal dump in San Francisco?
Odell has a history of doing this kind of research-as-art. In an earlier project, Where Almost Everything I Used, Wore, Ate, or Bought on Monday, April 1, 2013 (That Had a Label) Was Manufactured, to the Best of My Knowledge, Odell did exactly what the title says. She couldn’t trace everything back, but she got close enough to experience what she describes as:
… the alienation that occurs when one realizes that all of his or her possessions were not only made by strangers far away, but are still afloat and available in the marketplace — e.g. that an old teapot you’ve had for years has brand-new shiny cousins waiting to be ordered online, or that a wooden dolphin you bought at a flea market in a far away city (your most prized possession) is still being made by Chinese factory workers who also make wooden snakes, wooden sharks, and wooden pigs.
For Suspended Objects, Odell researched the stories of many, many objects (the full dossier is here) — but it’s the technological goods that most fascinated me. A lot of them aged hard and fast. People who visited the Bureau could use an augmented reality app on some of the objects to see how they had looked when they were fresh and new and exciting.

Swift S616L with 6.5″ Display and 3,000mAh

Swift S616L with 6.5″ Display and 3,000mAh Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Hp Compaq Ac Adapter
Last month we had exclusively reported about the launch of two new smartphones S616 and V787 from Philips. The devices come with SoftBlue technology that reduces 86% of the harmful blue light that emits from the display. Today a new phablet called ‘Philips Swift S616L‘ from the company is listed online. This is the same device that was certified by TENAA in September.
It sports a huge 6.5-inch IPS display with 720p resolution. Recently, Lenovo had also launched a phablet called Phab Plus with a 6.8-inch display but this comes with 1080p resolution. The S616L is powered by 64-bit Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor along with 2GB of RAM. It also has 16GB with adapter such as HP PPP012H AC Adapter, HP PPP012L AC Adapter, HP PPP018L AC Adapter, HP WE449AA AC Adapter, HP ED519AA AC Adapter, HP EX978AV AC Adapter, HP NW199AA AC Adapter, HP ED494AA AC Adapter, Compaq Presario CQ430 AC Adapter, Compaq Presario CQ630 AC Adapter, HP Pavilion G7 AC Adapter, HP Omnibook XE3B AC Adapterof internal storage and can be expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD card slot.
The device comes with a plastic back panel and chrome finished frame around the device. Unlike the glossy finish on the back, it comes with a matte back that offers some grip while holding this 6.5-inch phablet. While the recently launched S616 and V787 came with Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, the V616L still run on the out-dated Android 4.4 Kitkat.
On the camera front, it has a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. The 3,000mAh removable battery is what keeps the device powered we can expect it to last for a single day of mixed usage. It supports dual SIM dual standby and also offers 4G LTE connectivity.
It measures 8.9mm thick and weighs around 188 grams. The phablet is priced at 1,399 Yuan (approx $220 / Rs. 14,600) and is already available for purchase. Aso of now, it is available in the Gold color, and we can expect it to be available in the few more colors once it is officially launched. Stay tuned for more official details regrading the device.

End Your Charging Headaches

End Your Charging Headaches Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Samsung Ac Adapter
Living next to my bed is a ghastly electronic creature. Think Audrey II from the “Little Shop of Horrors,” but with roots firmly in power outlets and long charging cables that multiply and grow. I don’t know if I should call an electrician—or an exterminator.
My monster is the progeny of our completely out-of-hand gadget-charging situation. My iPhone uses one charging cable. My laptop another! My smartwatch? You guessed it. I even have a separate charger... for my portable charger.
Not only do our gadgets not use the same cables, but, come on, these mega-companies can only spare wall adapters with Samsung NP-RV411 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-300E Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV420 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-QX411 Ac Adapter, Samsung Series 3 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV515 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV520 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV709 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV711 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-Q460 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-E452 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-E252 Ac Adapterone measly USB port?
Sure, wireless charging will liberate us eventually, but for now there’s another option to ease the pain: a single charger to power up all your gear.
I went in search of the best multi-port USB wall chargers, testing 15 different options—even some that let you charge laptops as well as phones and tablets. But identifying which one best solves your charging nightmare comes down to listing which gadgets you own, and how many you need to juice up at the same time.
Laptop + Smartphone + Tablet
Last weekend, I took my laptop, smartphone and smartwatch on an overnight trip—and packed one pill-bottle-size charger. (I’ll understand if you’re jealous.) When I got to the hotel, the new Zolt needed just one outlet to charge everything at the same time. No need to commando-crawl under the bed to unplug the lamp or aging alarm clock.
Laptop charging is what makes the $100 Zolt my top choice. The 70-watt octagonal charger—which started shipping Tuesday—comes with eight charging tips compatible with most Windows PCs. One end of the included cord takes the adapter tip to plug into the laptop, while the other end has a USB to plug into the Zolt, which goes straight into the wall.
I charged up Acer, ACEIY 0.00 % ▲Lenovo and Asus ASUUY 4.53 % ▲laptop models without a hitch. When I plugged in Dell’s Inspiron 13 7000, however, the laptop gave an incompatible-charger error. You can look for your laptop on this list based on Zolt’s compatibility testing. If for some reason your laptop doesn’t work, you have 30 days to return it for a full refund.
The best part? Zolt charged up compatible laptops in the same time as the big, heavy, hideous chargers they came with.
Even crazier, if you buy Zolt’s $20 MagSafe-to-USB cord, it can charge up most Apple laptops, including all MacBook Air models. That doesn’t mean all Apple laptops will work: Due to higher wattage requirements, Zolt doesn’t support larger MacBook Pro models. Also, USB Type-C isn’t yet compatible, so the new 12-inch MacBook isn’t supported either.
Apple warns against using third-party MagSafe cords, as they may not properly communicate with MacBook hardware and software. Zolt acknowledges that Apple doesn’t license its MagSafe technology and says it hasn’t worked with the company. However, the Zolt charger is certified by UL, a globally recognized, independent safety-testing organization.
I’ve replaced my 13-inch MacBook Air’s standard charger with the Zolt for the past month and have encountered no problems.

Dell XPS 15 (Infinity 9550)

Dell XPS 15 (Infinity 9550) Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Samsung Ac Adapter
When Dell launched their dramatically redesigned XPS 13 in January 2015, the laptop-loving world went crazy (in a good way). It was smaller and lighter than other 13.3" laptops on the market yet it made no concessions to build quality, performance and materials. Of course, we couldn't wait for Dell to remake the XPS 15 in the new XPS 13's image, and now it's finally here. The Dell XPS 15 9550 has Dell's Infinity display-- there's nearly no display bezel, the glass reaches to the very edges. That makes the XPS 15 and XPS 13 look futuristic and clean. Since this is a conventional laptop that doesn't flip, separate or twist, there's no need for larger bezels to act as grab points as with a tablet. Dell claims this is the smallest 15" laptop in the world with abapter like Samsung NP-R620 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV720 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-Q320 Ac Adapter, Samsung NC110 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-X130 Ac Adapter, Samsung Series 5 Ac Adapter, Samsung NT-R439 Ac Adapter, Samsung NT-R440E Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-P330 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-Q330 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-RV508 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-N148P Ac Adapter, and it's the size of a 14" model. That's even more impressive since the XPS 15 is as ever a powerhouse portable in the mobile workstation category--it has a quad core i7 CPU, dedicated NVIDIA GTX 960M graphics, two RAM slots and a 15.6" display. Machines with that much power are generally chunky, though there are a few thin and lights that compete with the XPS 15 like the 15" Retina MacBook Pro, Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 and even the 15" MSI Ghost Pro and HP Omen 15 gaming laptops.
The late 2015 XPS 15 starts at $999, and the configurations most folks would want start around $1,200 to $1,700. The most expensive upgrade is the $500 4K gloss touch screen with 100% Adobe RGB coverage and 95% of NTSC. That can bring a high end XPS 15 up to the $2,000 mark. Fortunately, the 1080p matte non-touch display is no slouch, and those on a tight budget will by no means be suffering with it. That said, graphic designers, photographers and video editors will want that lush 4K high gamut panel that offers much wider color coverage than the outgoing XPS 15's 4K display.
Take the XPS 13 and a grow it a bit, and you literally have the XPS 15. The designs are that close. The lid is aluminum and the chassis is milled from a single piece of aluminum alloy (this is called unibody design). The aluminum bottom panel is removable after you unscrew several Torx T5 screws and two Phillips head screws under the service tag door. The keyboard deck is covered in Dell's signature carbon fiber for grip and softness. It's a sweet looking notebook, even if it lacks the flowing lines of the HP Spectre x360 or the MacBook Pro. All surfaces are extremely rigid and the XPS 15 Infinity feels robust and durable.
The XPS 15 Infinity is a surprisingly cool and quiet machine. And yes, Dell's coil whine is gone. Thin and compact laptops with this much horsepower inside are usually hot and noisy under modest to moderate load. Our quad core i7 model with 16 gigs of RAM, a 1TB Samsung 951 SSD and NVIDIA switchable graphics is silent when using MS Office, browsing the web and streaming video when unplugged. Like many Ultrabooks and slim laptops, the fan comes on when plugged into AC since charging generates heat and the laptop will run in higher performance mode. It's still a fairly soft whir that you'll only notice in a quiet room. When exporting 1080p long videos (like our YouTube video reviews) or playing Fallout 4, the fan is quite audible but not room-blasting loud. The bottom gets warm but not burning hot. When the laptop is stressed with heavy loads, the dual fan system manages heat well and the XPS 15 didn't exceed 103F at the hottest points on the bottom.

Netgear's Arlo Q cam puts free

Netgear's Arlo Q cam puts free Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Samsung Ac Adapter
Netgear added the Arlo security camera to its product roster in November of 2014. Arlo offers some fairly standard features -- 720p live streaming, night vision, motion-related alerts -- mixed in with some more unique offerings -- the camera runs on battery power, is rated for outdoor (as well as indoor) use and comes with 7 days of free event-related cloud storage.
The brand is adding a new camera to the Arlo lineup today with Arlo Q, an indoor-only DIY power-adapter with adaoter such as Samsung NP-N210 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-N220P Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-N310 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-NF110 Ac Adapter, Samsung NoteMaster 486S Ac Adapter, Samsung ND10 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP900X1A Ac Adapter, Samsung NP900X1B Ac Adapter, Samsung NP900X3A Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-X460 Ac Adapter, Samsung Q40 Ac Adapter, Samsung P60 Ac AdapterDell XPS 15 (Infinity 9550)-reliant security camera designed to go head-to-head with models like Nest Cam.
Available in the US in December for $220 and in the UK soon after for £170, Arlo Q has 1080p live streaming, a built-in speaker and a microphone for two-way talk, night vision, customizable activity zones and motion and sound alerts -- and, like Netgear's original Arlo camera, it also comes with 7 days of free video storage.
While Netgear isn't the first camera brand to offer free cloud storage -- Icontrol's Piper and Piper NV, Homeboy, Flir FX and others already have fee-free options -- most models, including Arlo Q's Nest Cam competition, require a monthly or yearly fee for this feature.
Other cameras, like Samsung's SmartCam HD Pro and the Ezviz Mini can store clips locally via built-in microSD card slots, a common option for people who either don't like the idea of their footage bouncing around a remote server or would simply rather not pay a monthly fee.
But, as the list of models offering free cloud storage continues to grow, folks who originally opted-out due to high fees will find more wallet-friendly options today -- and Arlo Q could be one of them. We've already requested a review unit of Netgear's $220/£170 Arlo Q indoor security camera, so check back soon for our hands-on impressions.

iPad + iPhone power adapter

iPad + iPhone power adapter Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
When Zolt announced the Laptop Charger Plus ($100) at CES this year, I was skeptical that the accessory — a practical, logical power solution — would actually make it to market. Zolt promised that it would work with any laptop, including Macs with MagSafe connectors, and at that point, zero third-party MagSafe accessories were available to purchase. But a week ago, a company called Beaver sent us Quarter, the first MagSafe-based battery pack and car charger. And now Zolt is sending out review samples of the finished Laptop Charger Plus, complete with both MagSafe 1 and MagSafe 2 cables (the $20 “Optional MacBook Accessory Cable”), which will hit stores in less than two weeks. Are MagSafe accessories finally about to become a real thing?
The Laptop Charger Plus continues the concept Twelve South pioneered with the $35 PlugBug, leveraging a MacBook wall adapter with scuh as Toshiba PA3717U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1100 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1900 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1905 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 3000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite L10 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A105 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A110 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A135 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A80 Ac Adapterto charge both your laptop and a USB-based device, such as an iPhone or iPad. But Zolt’s execution goes several steps further, as it fully replaces any 11″ or 13″ MacBook’s wall adapter with something smaller while adding two extra USB ports. Even if the price is a bit steep, the all-in-one functionality may justify the expenditure for travelers with limited bag space…
Zolt’s box is primarily focused on common laptop power tips from major PC manufacturers, ranging from Asus to Dell, HP to Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba. The Laptop Charger Plus comes in graphite (shown), orange, or violet, and sits in the middle of the box, while a black cable connects to all of the PC tips. As previously noted, Zolt sells the MagSafe cables as a $20 add-on to the system; they were bundled along with our review unit. Finally, though the manual mentions an included carrying case, it was nowhere to be found in the box.
Each of Zolt’s computer charging cables has a specially molded USB plug that’s deliberately designed not to fit into a conventional USB port — this is to avoid a situation where you try to connect the MagSafe adapters or PC charging cable to a regular USB port. Similarly, while the Laptop Charger Plus has three ports, the PC and Mac charging cables will only fit into the top one of those ports, one at a time. You’re not supposed to connect your iPhone, iPad, or other mobile device to the computer charging port. The two regular USB ports each have enough power to charge any iPad or iPhone at full speed, subject to one limitation: the power draw of your computer.
Total power output from the Laptop Charger Plus is 70 Watts. Zolt says that it’s designed to charge “most 40-65W laptops and UltraBooks,” plus at least one additional device such as an iPhone or iPad. Any MacBook of 13″ or less in size will work with the Charger’s power output without an issue. However, in the event that the total power drawn exceeds 70W, an LED on the unit will flash twice, noting that power is being prioritized to the mobile devices, reducing power to the laptop. A constant blink means that the unit is shutting down because of a short or other overaggressive power draw. During my testing, the adapter became warm but not hot to the touch while in separate use with a 13″ Retina MacBook Pro and an 11″ MacBook Air, which is expected behavior as per the manual. I wasn’t able to get the white light to flash during regular charging, though I suspect that there are circumstances where a 13″ laptop, an old iPad 3/4, and an iPhone 6 Plus all operating under full loads would be able to create a power draw issue.
The Laptop Charger Plus is small — 3.6″ long by 1.3″ wide, with folding blades for easy storage. That’s not much larger than a typical 4,000mAh tube-shaped battery pack, and markedly smaller than most MacBook wall adapters. The blades can be rotated 90 degrees to improve access to the 3 USB ports as needed, and your choice of included PC/Mac cables can be wrapped around the Charger for storage.
Should you get the Laptop Charger Plus? Mac users will probably flinch at the total price of the unit plus the MagSafe cabling, which is almost twice the price of most Apple MacBook power adapters. But if you need something that’s much smaller than carrying around two or three Apple adapters, Zolt’s design accomplishes a lot given its size. And from my perspective, the more MagSafe charging options that people can choose from, the better.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
The Satellite Radius 12 configuration we tested is a Best Buy exclusive, and has a dark gray, brushed-aluminum finish on its top lid, bottom lid, and keyboard deck. All that metal makes the system look and feel more expensive than entry-level convertibles with plastic exteriors, like the Toshiba Satellite Radius 11 (L15W-B1302).
Its dual-hinge design lets you flip the screen around into five different use modes: Laptop, Tabletop (open flat on the table), Presentation (similar to Tent mode), Audience (similar to Display mode), and Tablet. This design is similar to that of the larger Toshiba Satellite Radius 15 P55W-C5212-4K, albeit in a much more portable package.
Actually, the system is the smallest laptop we've seen with a 4K screen with adapter like Toshiba PA3755U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio X300 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio X505 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Mini NB200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Mini NB305 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Dynabook AW2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Dynabook AX2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium L30 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium M70 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Portege M600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Portege M603 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio F45 Ac Adapter, measuring 0.61 by 11.8 by 8.2 inches (HWD), and weighing in at 2.9 pounds. That's more compact than the Lenovo LaVie Z 360, but the latter is lighter, at 2.04 pounds.
The 12.5-inch screen has a 3,840-by-2,160 resolution, which can show 4K HD videos at native resolution, or four 1080p HD videos simultaneously, stacked and side by side. The screen uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) and Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) technology to display bright colors and deep blacks. In testing, text looked particularly crisp while using Microsoft Word and the Edge browser, similar to the experience we had with the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch, Retina Display (2015). Windows 10 scales text and other user-interface elements like icons better than Windows 8.1.
Color fidelity is excellent. Toshiba claims that the screen matches 100 percent of the Adobe RGB color gamut, which helps guarantee color accuracy when using photo and video-editing software. Toshiba's Chroma Tune utility lets you pick from a group of set color-calibration settings, including sRGB, manual color tuning, and Technicolor. The Technicolor setting is certified, so your videos should look as accurate as they would in a movie theater with digital projection. If you're a movie buff, you'll see more details in your favorite films, and be assured that the color balance is as the director and the cinematographer intended. Color accuracy can also help in online shopping, so you can tell that a pair of shoes is actually light brown with a touch of red, rather than the dark maroon you'd see on other LCDs.
The keyboard is compact, with keys that are smaller than you'd expect, even on an ultraportable. In particular, the arrow keys and the row of function keys are tiny. At least their backlighting is bright and clear. The one-piece touchpad has a line printed on it to remind you where the left- and right-click zones are, and it's wide enough for multitouch cursor control.

Actually, the system is the smallest laptop we've seen with a 4K screen with adapter like Toshiba PA3755U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio X300 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio X505 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Mini NB200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Mini NB305 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Dynabook AW2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Dynabook AX2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium L30 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium M70 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Portege M600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Portege M603 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio F45 Ac Adapter, measuring 0.61 by 11.8 by 8.2 inches (HWD), and weighing in at 2.9 pounds. That's more compact than the Lenovo LaVie Z 360, but the latter is lighter, at 2.04 pounds.
The 12.5-inch screen has a 3,840-by-2,160 resolution, which can show 4K HD videos at native resolution, or four 1080p HD videos simultaneously, stacked and side by side. The screen uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) and Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) technology to display bright colors and deep blacks. In testing, text looked particularly crisp while using Microsoft Word and the Edge browser, similar to the experience we had with the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch, Retina Display (2015). Windows 10 scales text and other user-interface elements like icons better than Windows 8.1.
Color fidelity is excellent. Toshiba claims that the screen matches 100 percent of the Adobe RGB color gamut, which helps guarantee color accuracy when using photo and video-editing software. Toshiba's Chroma Tune utility lets you pick from a group of set color-calibration settings, including sRGB, manual color tuning, and Technicolor. The Technicolor setting is certified, so your videos should look as accurate as they would in a movie theater with digital projection. If you're a movie buff, you'll see more details in your favorite films, and be assured that the color balance is as the director and the cinematographer intended. Color accuracy can also help in online shopping, so you can tell that a pair of shoes is actually light brown with a touch of red, rather than the dark maroon you'd see on other LCDs.
The keyboard is compact, with keys that are smaller than you'd expect, even on an ultraportable. In particular, the arrow keys and the row of function keys are tiny. At least their backlighting is bright and clear. The one-piece touchpad has a line printed on it to remind you where the left- and right-click zones are, and it's wide enough for multitouch cursor control.

Toshiba Satellite Radius 12

Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
While the Satellite Radius 12 doesn't have a lot of space on its side panels, the selection of ports is well-chosen. The system has a full-size HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports (one on each side of the laptop), and a single USB-C port. That's notable because some convertible systems like the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 and the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro both have smaller mini- and micro-HDMI ports that require adapters. Unfortunately, you can't use the USB-C connector to charge the laptop; instead, there's a traditional barrel-shaped connector for a proprietary AC adapter. The USB-C port is more of a future-proofing measure, so you'll be able to use upcoming peripherals equipped with the new interface.
The system comes with 8GB of system memory and a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD). Both aren't user-upgradable because the case is sealed. However, 8GB of memory is plenty if you're a casual user, although 16GB would give you better future-proofing. There are quite a few pre-installed apps on the system's SSD, including the usual suspects like Amazon, eBay, Groupon, Netflix, Next Issue, Wild Tangent, and WinZip with adapter like Toshiba PA3032U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3080U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3516U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3290U-2ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3381U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3097U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3396U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3467U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3380U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3237U-3ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3283U-1ACA Ac Adapter. At least the McAfee LiveSafe Internet Security app comes with a 12-month subscription instead of a 30-day trial. Budget an hour or so to remove the programs you don't need. The system comes with a one-year warranty.
A sixth-generation Intel Core i7-6500U processor with Intel HD Graphics 520 provides the power for the Satellite Radius 12. It received a good score of 2,487 points on the PCMark 8 Work Conventional test, which is significantly ahead of the Intel-Core-M-equipped Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro (2,094). However, the Intel-Core-i7-equipped convertibles like the Acer Aspire R 13 (R7-371T-72TC) and the Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series 2-1in-1 Special Edition Laptop (7352) outperformed the system on the same test, with scores of 2,676 and 2,728, respectively. The Satellite Radius 12 is pretty fast on day-to-day tasks, but not necessarily the fastest. We also noticed that the active cooling fan on the system spooled up quite often when we were running tests or watching videos, and when the system performed updates in the background. It was a little distracting, particularly since the Yoga 3 Pro and other convertibles with Core M processors ran silently.
The Satellite Radius 12 had class-leading performance on two of our three multimedia tests, winning the Handbrake (2 minutes, 18 seconds) and the CineBench R15 (316 points) tests against other ultraportables like the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2:38 on Handbrake; 311 on CineBench) and other convertibles like the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 12 (3:00 on Handbrake; 261 on CineBench). The Satellite Radius 12's time on our Adobe Photoshop test is good (4:26), but the 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro (4:17) and the Acer Aspire R13 (4:19) are quicker. Basically, the system has the chops and benchmark performance numbers to breeze through photo and video work on the brilliant 4K screen.
While by no means should this be considered a gaming rig, the Satellite Radius 12 gets a boost from its latest-generation Intel integrated graphics. Its frame rates on the Heaven (21 frames per second or fps) and Valley (25fps) at Medium-quality settings aren't what we consider smoothly playable, but those scores are faster than all the convertible-hybrid laptops we use for comparison. Those systems barely made it into the mid-teens on both game tests. The Satellite Radius 12 also won on the 3DMark Cloud Gate (5,903 points) and 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme (376 points) tests. It's capable of playing 3D games like Diablo III and League of Legends at Light- to Medium-quality settings.
When it comes to battery life, the Satellite Radius 12 disappoints. On our rundown tests, the system lasted 5 hours 49 minutes. That doesn't sound too bad, until you compare it with the Dell Inspiron 13 7352 (7:37), the Lenovo LaVie Z 360 (8:06), and the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (11:10). The Satellite Radius 12's combination of a power-hungry 4K screen and small battery pack means that you'll need to plug into AC power more often than the other ultraportables and convertible-hybrids.
The Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 P25W-C2300-4K is the modern equivalent of the Sony Video Walkman portable VCRs with built-in screens that we saw in the early 1990s. It's chock full of forward-looking technology, like a 4K screen, a sixth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, and a USB-C port, all in a compact package. However, its short battery life means you'll need to recharge the system fairly often. You'll have to make other concessions, like living with a smaller keyboard. The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro remains our top pick for high-end convertible-hybrid laptops, with its long-lasting battery and innovative design. The Satellite Radius 12 is definitely a system to consider if you're a photographer or videographer who's tired of lugging a 15-inch laptop, and is willing to make some compromises in order to get a 4K display in a very portable package.
