			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Computer is a product of technology that can not be separated from human now. It can really help and facilitate people business even it can be said that computer is all of the human needs because computer can accommodate the need of saving data, entertainment and it can be a great medium to save many important data needed and used to support the work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, it can be said that it is not easy to maintain computer. When we have been so carefully in cleaning and updating certain software, maybe there are something happen beyond of your mind. Do not be too speculating about your computer, just calling the <a href="http://ducktoes.com" target="_blank">Calgary computer repair</a> to give you a hand in this problem as well as <a href="http://ducktoes.com/business_support.php" target="_blank">Calgary IT support</a>. Well, some maintenance is very helpful if you know it in certain. However, it will be so dangerous when you do not know about it at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not be shy to ask the expert of computer repair about what happens on your computer. You can listen carefully and repair it if sometimes you face that kind of problems. Besides, you can also ask them to tell you how to properly care of the computer to avoid some unpredictable and unwanted things happen again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Tablets have introduced a number of great features that are currently without equal in the notebook space. They&#8217;re ultra light, extremely responsive, have tremendous life of the battery and are generally instant-on devices. Tablets however, aren&#8217;t exceptional for being productive on, leaving good reason to still carry around a notebook. As both platforms keep growing you&#8217;ll see them learn from one another. Updates towards the tablet experience in iOS 5 for instance are clearly built around improving productivity. How about the notebook PC though? What is being done there to make it more tablet-like? This is where Intel&#8217;s Ultrabook category of notebook PCs is necessary.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ASUS-Zenbook-UX21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-294" title="ASUS Zenbook (UX21)" src="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ASUS-Zenbook-UX21-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ultrabooks today are simply ultra portable notebooks with a few requirements. They need to be thin, light, possess a fast CPU (Sandy Bridge will do for now) and use some form of solid state storage. The SSD requirement helps OEMs guarantee that these Ultrabooks will have reasonable response time (application, boot and wake). Regardless of the tablet comparison, Ultrabooks aren&#8217;t meant to go up against ARM based tablets. Intel will ultimately have an Atom powered answer in that space, although we likely won&#8217;t view it until Windows 8 ships.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hardware specs alone aren&#8217;t enough to bridge the tablet gap, which is why Intel views new features through software as a major part of the Ultrabook play. Intel expects Ultrabooks won&#8217;t really go mainstream until between late 2012-2013, so this first wave of notebooks are actually nothing more than ultraportable PCs. Should you look close enough, they might even look like MacBook Air clones. With the Ivy Bridge and Haswell updates, Intel is expecting to expand the impact of what Ultrabooks mean but today they are pretty much well designed notebooks with a fancy name.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-292"></span>The Zenbook is made out of an all-aluminum chassis. ASUS starts with a block of aluminum and uses a CNC mill to create the chassis. The resulting chassis is extremely rigid and devoid of all perceivable flex. The only removable panel around the Zenbook is underneath the chassis, limiting anyone&#8217;s interaction with non-keyboard components that are not built out of a single piece of metal. The main chassis has a vertically brushed pattern onto it while a circular brushing pattern is used on the display lid. the two parts of the Zenbook will also be colored differently, with the main body having a platinum silver as the display uses a darker steel color.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a nod to just how design focused ASUS was with the Zenbook, even the 10 screws on the bottom of the chassis feature the same brushed pattern because the rest of the chassis. ASUS elected to use torx bits instead of standard phillips heads to higher match the industrial style of the system. While I appreciate the attention to detail I believe I&#8217;d be happier if ASUS had stuck to standard screws.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The result is both elegant and functional. In using and benchmarking the system I definitely heard the fans spin up, however the chassis never got uncomfortably warm-even when looping Cinebench while typing this paragraph. Part of that is due to Intel&#8217;s reduced voltage Sandy Bridge CPU, but part of it is because ASUS&#8217; design isn&#8217;t embarassed to admit it needs air to cool the CPU. The UX21&#8242;s two speakers point downward and together create a surprisingly decent sound. It&#8217;s better than the 11-inch MacBook Air for sure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ASUS includes a small lip around the display cover to assist in actually getting the machine open. Lifting the lid on any of these ultra slim machines is hard (as you&#8217;re prone to lift the entire laptop rather than the lid) but the lip does help a bit. The display hinge is reasonably stiff. I&#8217;m able to hold the Zenbook up with the display perpendicular to the ground and not have the hinge give under the force of gravity. Obtaining the Zenbook and shaking it a little will allow the hinge to maneuver as you&#8217;d expect, but overall it appears pretty resistent to unintended motion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ASUS printed a pattern of very small hexagons on the surface of the hinge, giving the impression of perforation. On my sample one of those printed hexagons appeared slightly out of place, which in turn made it appeared as if my Zenbook had a clogged pore on its hinge. If you&#8217;re the OCD type you best hope yours works out perfectly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With that minor exception I have to really commend ASUS on the job well done with the Zenbook&#8217;s design. It&#8217;s easily the most amazing PC notebook That i have ever laid hands (and eyes) on and even stands out more than a MacBook Air thanks to its brushed aluminum surface. Apple&#8217;s design does look a bit more cohesive in my eyes, while the ASUS&#8217; Zenbook is more on the tastefully flashy side. Either way it&#8217;s absolutely gorgeous and something of those things you just have to see to appreciate. I&#8217;ve not been able to take a photograph of the Zenbook that I believe adequately captures precisely how good this thing looks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The design is quite functional as well. Thanks to the slim profile from the Zenbook and its diminutive weight, the UX21 is definitely an absolute pleasure to hold. It&#8217;s the pinnacle of portability without having to sacrifice the functionality of a keyboard. A tablet sure is nicer to hold, but the UX21 is much easier to type on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The entire design is a bit more curvy compared to current MacBook Air however it feels great with you. If you&#8217;re used to Apple&#8217;s aluminum the Zenbook may feel a bit tougher but the edge is something you get used to over time. After a couple of days of using it, the Zenbook UX21 felt just like comfortable to me because the MacBook Air. I&#8217;m personally keen on the 11-inch form factor as I believe, with Sandy Bridge, it offers a great balance of portability and performance. If you do a lot of writing, it&#8217;s a great companion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given the lack of any Intel-specific Ultrabook software I&#8217;m reluctant to even call this thing an Ultrabook. There&#8217;s also the fact that, at least in the case of Intel Rapid Start Technology, being much more of an Ultrabook in that sense would&#8217;ve been one step back in performance. In fact, I see no real reason to use that brand at all-which is likely why ASUS ended up calling it a Zenbook to start with. So how well did ASUS do with its first Ultrabook&#8230;er Zenbook? I&#8217;d say very well, but not quite perfect.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The design, aesthetics and performance are top notch. I&#8217;m a fan of the LV Sandy Bridge parts; I find that they deliver enough CPU performance for you to get work done without requiring a significantly larger chassis. I&#8217;ve been a vocal advocate of SSD use in OEM systems for years now so you&#8217;re going to see my praise of ASUS&#8217; SSD choice a great deal here. Although Sandy Bridge is an extremely fast CPU architecture, it is the ADATA SSD that actually helps make the Zenbook UX21 respond so quickly whenever you ask anything of it. Boot and wake times are generally incredibly quick; they&#8217;re among the fastest currently available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The old tradeoff of IO performance for portability doesn&#8217;t come anywhere close to the Zenbook. The system feels fast and can likely continue to feel fast even while your Windows installation ages and it is burdened by additional software thanks to this SSD. Gaming performance isn&#8217;t all there but this really is more of a productivity companion than anything else. Battery life is reasonable for the sort of portability you&#8217;re getting. Granted it isn&#8217;t enough to get via a full day on a single charge, but if you regularly have access to a power outlet the Zenbook can manage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Dell is officially announcing the XPS 14z today, with ordering availability scheduled for November One in the US; worldwide availability will occur November 15. You will see four primary configurations offered at that point, though we’re unsure how much customization is going to be available. Our test unit has 4GB RAM when compared to 6GB that will be shipping; this shouldn’t really make a difference for normal usage, but it’s worth noting. So far as we can tell, all purchases share the same WiFi, DVDRW, and LCD; the CPU, storage, GPU and quantity of memory are where they differ.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/XPS-14z.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-290" title="XPS-14z" src="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/XPS-14z-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a>The bottom model comes without discrete graphics, while all the upgraded versions include NVIDIA’s GT 520M. We haven’t were built with a chance to look at that GPU yet, and we’re actually thinking about testing it as it doesn’t appear to be it will be much faster compared to HD 3000. 48 CUDA cores having a 64-bit DDR3-1600 memory interface (12.8GB/s) is certainly not to write home about, and DX11 support is nearly meaningless on cheap hardware. However, NVIDIA (and AMD) have better graphics driver support than Intel, so it’s something to think about. We hope to get a second 14z using the upgrade GPU and CPU set for testing to see the way it fares, and it appears like Dell will charge about $100 extra for that GPU upgrade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dell packs in just about everything most users will require, including a single USB 3.0 Super Speed port around the back. (I’m not sure why they include just one SS port, because of the second USB port is appropriate next to it.) The inclusion of the optical drive in this thin laptop also warrants mention. Our test unit may be the base model, therefore we don’t have the GeForce GT 520M put into the mix, but that upgrade can be obtained should you want it. Display connectivity can also be reasonable, with a mini DisplayPort along with a full size HDMI port around the back of the laptop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-289"></span>There’s a great deal to like about Dell’s 14z, including a stylish design, reasonable performance and pricing, along with a better build quality than many consumer notebooks. It won’t rival the enterprise class business notebooks for quality, but it’s quite a bit lighter than the majority of those and is still a proper step up from the mostly-plastic budget laptops. The 14z will handle most everyday tasks without trouble, and it&#8217;ll look good doing it, but we actually would like a better than average display to complete out the package.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So far as office and Internet use goes, the 14z is effective, but we can state that about any laptop having a Sandy Bridge or Llano CPU. HD video playback works fine, including streaming 1080p YouTube content. 24FPS video may not work flawlessly, but I’m unsure how much that matters for laptop users-it’s definitely not a pressing concern for me personally. Where the base model 14z won’t achieve this well is in games or computationally intensive workloads; users thinking about games will want something having a discrete GPU (we’ll see exactly what the GT 520M can do soon, but GT 525M would probably be a better target for moderate gaming), as well as for pure computation you’ll desire a quad-core CPU. Otherwise, performance often isn’t a pressing concern on modern PCs, especially if you’ve got an SSD.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My feeling would be that the 14z has one item that may really benefit from upgrading, and that’s the display. Apple has truly done well at equipping their MacBook Pro and MacBook Air (and iPad and iPhone) devices with good as well as great quality displays, and anyone wanting a bit of the upscale notebook market really must pay attention to that area. As Anand stated in our ASUS UX21E review, innovation is excellent but if you can’t innovate on the particular area it’s better to just copy exactly what the leaders are doing. Dell offers display upgrades on the XPS 15/17/15z, and we definitely recommend spending the additional $100-$150 as a great way to obtain a high quality laptop display, but a minimum of right now the 14z is missing that option.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another area where I’d want to see some improvement is incorporated in the chassis design. I love the way the 14z and 15z look, but form has definitely pushed function towards the wayside when it comes to upgrading or replacing hardware. Opening the 14z and 15z chassis requires greater than a little force to pry the casing apart, even though it’s not all that difficult the reassembly may lead to a less than perfect fit. The aluminum casing at the base and the magnesium alloy palm rest are generally a step up in the plastic construction present in too many consumer notebooks, however i don’t spend much time whatsoever looking at the bottom of my laptops and that i would happily quit the seamless bottom for simple access to the memory and difficult drive.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, the XPS 14z is really a nice-looking design, but it’s not without compromises. It’s definitely not a clone from the MacBook Pro 13, however the two deserve to be compared. Apple’s unibody construction still supplies a better fit and finished, and what’s more it’s much easier to access your memory and storage using the MBP13. The MBP13 also has a top quality display, and while 1366&#215;768 is technically more pixels than 1280&#215;800, I’d favour a 16:10 aspect ratio.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In which the XPS 14z wins out is incorporated in the component specs and pricing. The bottom model gets you 6GB RAM, a 500GB 7200RPM HDD when compared with 4GB RAM and 500GB 5400RPM HDD within the MBP13, and you can get that for around $150 less than the basic MBP13. The upgraded MBP13 will net an i7-2620M/i7-2640M, 4GB RAM, and a 750GB HDD for approximately $1400; Dell on the other hand will sell an i7-2640M, 8GB RAM, 750GB 7200RPM HDD, along with a GeForce GT 520M for $1300. Quite simply, it’s mostly the same old story: Dell will sell a bit more performance at a lower price, but when it comes to the look and build quality Apple’s MacBook Pro wins out, and also the Apple LCD reaches least a $75 upgrade in my opinion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dell seems to understand the requirement for better displays at one level, once we have the Precision line now offering IPS panels being an upgrade (albeit one which will cost you $400 extra!), they&#8217;ve had RGB LED being an option for several years on certain models, and also the XPS 15/15z have at least much better than average displays. Actually, the 15/15z managed to one-up Apple&#8217;s MacBook around the display front by providing 1080p in a 15.6&#8243; panel when compared with Apple&#8217;s 1440&#215;900 resolution (though Apple has matte panels as a substitute). Toss in a better display and also the 14z suddenly becomes much more compelling and flirts with another Editors&#8217; Choice award; without them, it&#8217;s a laptop that appears good in every area except the main one place where your vision are going to be focused the majority of th time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Way back in the dark day of CES 2011, we were in a position to lay hands on and have fun with some interesting new technology from Toshiba. They&#8217;d a prototype notebook available that was capable of glasses-free 3D like the Nintendo 3DS, however with a bigger screen and also the ability to track head movement and adjust viewing angles accordingly. The release of this 3D notebook continues to be an unusually quiet one. May be the 15-inch Qosmio F755 a sound design, or perhaps is there a reason why it has been unceremoniously dropped into the marketplace?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Toshiba-Qosmio-F755-3D290.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-286" title="Toshiba Qosmio F755-3D290" src="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Toshiba-Qosmio-F755-3D290-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The type of glasses-free 3D that Toshiba employs within the Qosmio F755-3D290 has thus far been mostly limited to handhelds, like the odd 3D smartphone or even the aforementioned Nintendo 3DS. Toshiba even features a reasonably impressive bit of head-tracking technology that will shift the 3D viewing angle so long as the webcam can easily see you, at least once you&#8217;ve configured it. Why did Toshiba pretty much sneak this one to the market?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You&#8217;ll forgive me for my unprofessionalism, however the best word I&#8217;m able to think of for the Toshiba Qosmio F755&#8242;s configuration is &#8220;wonky.&#8221; After i reviewed Toshiba&#8217;s all-in-one, the DX735, I praised Toshiba to be able to produce a balanced system configuration which was well-suited to its intended purpose, however the F755 in any of its three shipping configurations may be the polar opposite.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-285"></span>The intense spot of the F755 may be the Intel Core i7-2630QM. The i7-2630QM and it is successor the i7-2670QM are, for me, the price/performance/power sweet spot from the mobile market at this time. The F755-3D290 configuration employs the i7-2630QM, the industry fast quad-core processor with Hyper-Threading, in a position to turbo up and supply plenty of juice on two cores, but additionally capable of being fairly frugal with power consumption. On top of that, the i7-2630QM is reasonably inexpensive and turns up in notebooks overall. OEMs like it, and I certainly wouldn&#8217;t be unhappy with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately things find yourself being pretty screwy otherwise. Why just 6GB of DDR3 rather than an even 8GB, particularly with prices where they&#8217;re? Why the dismally slow 5400-RPM hard disk, borderline unforgivable in a $1,700 laptop? Why Atheros&#8217;s slow wireless solution rather than one of Intel&#8217;s more capable ones&#8211;or a minimum of give us something with support for 2 spatial streams and 5GHz radios? All of this, and then a Blu-ray rewriteable drive? A Blu-ray reader would&#8217;ve sufficed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Users thinking about enjoying 3D Vision using the Qosmio F755 are going to be disappointed on two fronts. The very first is the anemic NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M. The 540M is okay for gaming at 1366&#215;768 without 3D, but 3D Vision is extremely demanding on graphics hardware and also the 540M just isn&#8217;t going to work. Fortunately that doesn&#8217;t matter, because while Toshiba advertises 3D Vision support for that F755, it just plain fails. I actually checked other reviews plus they all ran into exactly the same problem; when you click &#8220;Enable 3D Vision&#8221; around the laptop, it does nothing. I&#8217;ve read that NVIDIA and Toshiba will work together on a 3D Vision driver for that F755, but it hasn&#8217;t materialized yet&#8230;3 months after the laptop&#8217;s release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, to include insult to injury, the F755 isn&#8217;t Optimus enabled. No intelligent switching between your Sandy Bridge IGP and also the GeForce GT 540M, and life of the battery suffers tremendously consequently. Small wonder the notebook arrived with little fanfare.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Intel&#8217;s Ultrabook initiative is a curious one, one that is very gradually obtaining interest among vendors. We&#8217;ve already were built with a chance to take a look at small of the two units in the typically early-out-of-the-gate ASUS, and we know there are more ultrabooks out there from Lenovo and Acer, with only Dell opting to sit down out of this round, unconvinced from the viability of Intel&#8217;s plan. Today, in true Toshiba fashion, we obtain a chance to look at a far more budget-oriented (or at least as budget-oriented being an ultrabook can be) unit: Toshiba&#8217;s entry-level Portege Z835-P330.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Toshiba-Portege-Z835.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-281 aligncenter" title="Toshiba Portege Z835" src="http://www.irc-plus.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Toshiba-Portege-Z835-300x238.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="238" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Honestly the impressions start before it even gets as they are, just because the box is so unusually small that you simply wonder how it might hold a computer. But affirmed, once you open it up you will see Toshiba&#8217;s sliver of a notebook. If you are used to the MacBook Air, getting an ultrabook with you is an interesting experience. It barely weighs anything, and also the profile is slim to be certain. It&#8217;s a testament to how technologies have evolved that a notebook such as this is even possible, but there have been definitely sacrifices made.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Starting towards the top of the Toshiba Portege Z830, we now have arguably its weakest link: the Intel Core i3-2367M. This processor might be Sandy Bridge hardware, however the anemic 1.4GHz clock speed around the two cores is pretty brutal, and also the lack of Turbo Boost (an element reserved for i5 and i7 processors) only exacerbates things. For basic netbook-style tasks it will still be perfectly fine, but I&#8217;ll say it at this time: anyone interested in the Portege Z830 would prosper to wait and upgrade for an i5-equipped unit at least.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-280"></span>Toshiba includes 2GB of DDR3 soldered towards the motherboard as well as an expandable 2GB of DDR3-1333. The issue is the Portege Z830 is difficult to obtain inside of without feeling like you are going to damage it, but around the flipside a cumulative 4GB of DDR3 ought to be more than adequate for that tasks this notebook is supposed for, and this model will probably be throttled by CPU performance well before that memory becomes a problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As part of Intel&#8217;s ultrabook initiative, Toshiba features a generous 128GB mSATA SSD. Unfortunately, it isn&#8217;t a particularly fast one, rated just for a peak 180MB/sec on reads and 70MB/sec on writes, and taking advantage of Toshiba&#8217;s own controller and MLC NAND. If you were concerned about that 3Gbps interface, be assured this drive won&#8217;t ever saturate it. Around the flipside, 128GB of flash (a comparatively slow SSD) continues to be a big improvement on an analog drive of the same capacity, and also the Portege Z830 definitely feels snappier for this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The one place ultrabooks appear to be succeeding where Apple keeps dropping the ball is connectivity. Apple&#8217;s prepared to sacrifice connectivity by tapering the MacBook Air, making the notebook look slimmer of computer really is as a result of the wedge shape. Meanwhile, Toshiba outfits the Z830 having a pair of USB 2.0 ports, just one USB 3.0 port, headphone and microphone jacks, and HDMI and VGA output; Toshiba even looks after a dedicated Ethernet port within the mix. Thunderbolt may have potential, but USB 3.0 is here now right now, and it&#8217;s a great deal cheaper to boot.</p>
