Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Sony laptop battery
Tis the season. For me that means tis the season for recommendations.
Everywhere I go it seems somebody wants to know what iDoodle to get his or her significant other. Next year my picture that goes with the column is gonna have the Groucho Marx mustache from Halloween till New Year’s. At least that way I will be left alone to doodle in peace without being recognized in the lavatory.
Talk about an awkward conversation.
Problem is these once were easy questions to answer. I would mindlessly just say buy whatever has an Apple logo on it. Since then, Android got all grown up, tablets got smaller, smartphones got bigger and laptops with battery like Hp KU532AA battery, Hp HSTNN-OB62 battery, Hp Compaq 610 battery, Hp Compaq 510 battery, Hp RW557AA battery, Hp 440266-ABC battery, Hp ProBook 5310m battery, Hp BQ352AA battery, Hp AT907AA battery, HP Compaq 540 Battery, HP 572189-001 Battery, HP HSTNN-DB51 Battery have touchscreens.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Smartphones are point and shoots and point and shoots come stocked with Android. Tablets are laptops and laptops fold into tablets. Get the idea?
Where is Optimus Prime when you need him, because this tech world is transforming faster than an Autobot at a WD-40 party.
Even in the camera world, which is my home turf, you have the Nokia 808 Pureview smartphone that doubles as a camera sporting nearly twice the megapixels of my best professional camera.
You have iPhone and Samsung with solid smartphone cameras that outperform many point and shoots. Not necessarily in quality, but they make up for it with apps and connectivity. And just as I crafted that little speech, here comes the Samsung Galaxy point and shoot that is running a great version of Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
Last year, “which tablet?” was my go-to question — iPad 2 if you had the dough and Kindle Fire if you didn’t. So clean and easy, but this year is another story.
Not only were there two new iPads released this year but neither really had a name besides “new” iPad. Then we got the mini. Actually we got lots of 7-inch versions.
Microsoft put its last bit of mojo in the Surface Tablet while Google came along and shocked everybody with the Nexus 7 and now Nexus 10.
Kindle responded with a Kindle Fire HD and made the original Fire cheaper. Nook chimed in with an even better deal and they both came out with larger-screen models that are cheaper than the big boys.
So which one do you want? Mind spinning yet?
Before you answer, there is also the Asus Transformer line — great tablets that dock into a real keyboard with USB ports, a trackpad and bigger battery. Even folds up like a laptop.
Speaking of laptops. Now we have Windows 8 that has taken over the market. Problem is not many people like it.
Unless of course it is touchscreen, so naturally we now have touchscreen laptops. Those come in ultra and mega size.
Dell put its spin by making a laptop where the screen folds around and over the keyboard revealing a newly transformed tablet. Apple is merging its “pro” books into their “ultra” books while merging Retina display from iPhone to iPad and now into the laptops. As the saying goes — “it’s the best Mac yet.” It’s also the most confusing.
Don’t think that desktops are any easier. The whole Windows 8 thing has shifted to this market too. So you have to decide on a touchscreen model or deal with the finding the missing “Start” button.
