Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
The Dell XPS 14 is a bigger and badder Ultrabook. It has a 14" display that slightly outclasses the 13.3" Ultrabook standard and it weighs 4.6 pounds rather than the usual 3. That added weight gets you serious battery life thanks to the internal 8 cell, 69 wHr Lithium Ion battery. In our tests, the laptop averaged 8.5 hours of mixed use, which is 2 hours better than most Ultrabooks. The XPS 14 looks much like its little brother the XPS 13 Ultrabook and the full size Dell XPS 15, and that's a good thing. From the precisely machined edges to the aluminum casing with magnesium palm rest, this is a classy looking machine. It has that signature Dell soft touch black interior and silicone coated bottom and an excellent island style keyboard with backlighting.
Since this is an Ultrabook, it runs on third generation Intel Core i5 and i7 with battery such as Acer BTP-43D1 Battery , Acer TravelMate 220 Battery , Acer BTP-58A1 Battery , acer BTP-60A1 Battery , Acer TravelMate 240 Battery , Acer BTP-52EW Battery , Acer BTP-63D1 Battery , Acer BTP-42C1 Battery , acer BTP-44A3 Battery , Acer Aspire 8943G Battery , Acer Aspire 8950G Battery , Acer AS10C7E Battery ULV (ultra low voltage) CPUs with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics. Things get interesting if you opt for the upgrade to switchable dedicated NVidia GeForce GT630M graphics with 1 gig DDR5 VRAM. That's not a killer gaming GPU, but it gives enough umph to make some current 3D games like Skyrim playable at native resolution. The notebook now ships with Windows 8 if you order now, but we take a look at the Windows 7 version in our review (the hardware is the same).
The XPS 14 has a 1600 x 900 Gorilla Glass display. This is a TN panel, so viewing angles aren't stellar, but they are better than the XPS 13's and many competing Ultrabooks. That resolution also tops the standard 1366 x 768 resolution found on slightly smaller 13.3" Ultrabook displays. The 300 nit brightness display has good contrast, though blacks aren't wildly deep. Overall it's quite sharp with pleasing color saturation and movies look good, so we won't complain.
The Dell XPS 14 starts at $1,099 for the 1.5GHz Intel Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics, 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM and a 500 gig 5400 RPM hard drive augmented with a 32 gig caching SSD. The machine has gigabit Ethernet, dual band Intel WiFi N-6235 and Bluetooth. Moving up to the Core i7 ULV with NVidia graphics will set you back $1,499.
IDG News Service - Hewlett-Packard on Monday announced the new ElitePad 900 tablet with Windows 8, and said the device can be easily disassembled to replace components in order to save hardware and support costs.
The tablet, targeted at businesses, has a 10.1-inch diagonal display and runs on Intel's Atom Z2760 dual-core processor (Clover Trail), which has a clock speed of 1.8GHz. The tablet weighs about 680 grams and is 9.2-millimeters thick. The Gorilla Glass screen can display images at a 1280 by 800 resolution..
