Most laptops used to be weak, watered down PCs that sacrificed power for portability, but that’s no longer the case.

Today’s modern laptop and notebook computers are plenty powerful enough to do most anything that even the fastest desktop PCs can do.

Even as laptops get more powerful by the day, they are also getting thinner and lighter, making them easier than ever to take along with you as you travel for work or pleasure.

The Dell XPS9360-7758SLV-PUS 13.3-Inch Touchscreen Laptop is a perfect example. Even though it’s strikingly thin, measures just 15×12 inches and weighs less than 3 pounds, this machine has all the power that one might need in a laptop. Check out these awesome specs: [Read more…]

Review: AmazonBasics Backpack for Laptops

Posted on November 26, 2018

Laptops and notebook computers are getting thinner and lighter all the time, and that makes it more important than ever to protect them from being damaged while you’re carrying them from place to place.

Laptop bags have been around as long as laptops themselves, but most people these days seem to prefer carrying their machines in laptop backpacks.

If you’ve been looking for a great laptop backpack at an affordable price, let me tell you about one that I really love.

I recently had the opportunity to check out the AmazonBasics Backpack for Laptops, and I believe it’s the best backpack I’ve ever used in regards to style and functionality.

This backpack has multiple compartments for carrying a wide array of items. The padded laptop sleeve will hold any laptop or notebook computer up to 17 inches, and there’s also a smaller sleeve for your tablet.

Other compartments will hold your keys, your phone and most any other small items that you need to take along with you. There’s even a mesh pocket for a water bottle on each side!

Here are a couple of photos that show this backpack loaded with gear: [Read more…]

Review: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 1500VA 900W

Posted on November 25, 2018

If your home or office is in an area that’s prone to frequent power outages or receives fluctuating power levels from the main grid, you are surely aware of the need for a high-quality Battery Backup System or UPS.

But you might not be aware of the need for many modern PCs to have a clean source of power that consists of true sine waves instead of the clipped square waves produced by most cheap battery backup units.

If your computer has a modern Active PFC power supply, it’s best to feed it sine waves just like the electricity that’s delivered by the power grid.

The CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 1500VA 900W will keep your expensive electronic gear running safely during brief power outages and automatically shut your system down during longer outages when you are away from the computer and unable to do it yourself. [Read more…]

In times past, the typical budget laptop came stuffed with cheap, inferior components that made for a frustratingly slow and inefficient computing experience. But times have changed.

The Acer Aspire E15 Full HD Notebook is an attractive, sleek looking laptop that has everything the typical user will need in order to surf the Internet, peruse Facebook and Twitter, watch videos on Youtube, send and receive email, use Microsoft Office and edit photos. [Read more…]
