ThinkPad Tablet vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 as laptop replacement

admin — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 03:28:25 +0000

Summary: Tablets are powerful computers, and using one with a good keyboard can function as a decent laptop replacement. I put two Honeycomb tablets to the test to see which is better for this purpose.

Many tablet owners dream of using the thin slates as laptop replacements. The draw is lightening the gear bag on trips and enjoying the all-day battery life possible with most tablets. I have been using two different Android tablets this way for a while to see if it is possible to leave the laptop at home in favor of the light tablet. The ThinkPad Tablet is all business given its focus on the enterprise worker, while the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is more consumer friendly. I put them both head-to-head as laptop replacements to see how each would fare.

The test

Both of the tablets run Android Honeycomb, and this test is not intended to determine how well the OS works. My intention was to see how the hardware worked as a laptop, plus any special software each tablet ships with that the other lacks. All apps designed for Honeycomb tablets work equally well on both tablets so that’s not in question.

The primary requirement to use a tablet as a laptop replacement is a good keyboard, especially given how much writing I do when mobile. The onscreen keyboard can serve in a pinch, but a good hardware keyboard is a must for serious work.

I used the Logitech Tablet Keyboard case with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I reviewed this keyboard recently, and found it to be a solid accessory ($100) for the Tab. This keyboard connects to the tablet over Bluetooth, and has special control keys to facilitate running the Tab from the keyboard.

The ThinkPad Tablet has a leather folio available ($100) that houses a keyboard specifically designed to turn the tablet into a laptop replacement. This keyboard plugs into the Tablet’s USB port, and has an optical trackpad with two mouse buttons to allow using the tablet like a laptop.

This test ignores the tablet aspects of the two devices, and concentrates on each duo of tablet and keyboard. The keyboards were carefully observed to see how well they handled typing, controlling the tablet, and general usage.

Portability

It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to leave the laptop at home if the tablet/keyboard combo is not more portable. This means smaller and lighter than most laptops. This is aided if the keyboard is not a totally separate piece from the tablet. Both of these keyboards form a case for the tablet, becoming one piece when combined. This makes it easy to just pick up the tablet/case and throw it into the bag.

Size is important, and the Galaxy Tab wins in this category. Even though the keyboard/case is aluminum, it is still much smaller than the ThinkPad Tablet in the portfolio case. It will fit in the smallest of bags, the Tab is lighter than the ThinkPad when used as a slate.

Winner: Galaxy Tab 10.1

Ease of Use as a laptop

Nothing is better than taking a gadget out of the bag and getting straight to work, so ease of use is important. The different methods of operation make one of them easier to use than the other. The Galaxy Tab’s keyboard is wireless, and must be charged to use. It doesn’t need to be charged often, but if you’re heading out for a business trip you don’t want it running dry at an inopportune moment.

The Tab’s keyboard must be turned on to work with the tablet, and Bluetooth must be enabled for any session with the keyboard. It is easy to leave all of this on all the time, but that has a minor impact on battery life for both the tablet and the keyboard.

The ThinkPad Tablet connects to the keyboard via a full USB port that the ThinkPad has on the side. The folio case lines the plug up with the tablet port when it is inserted, and once plugged in the combo is ready for use. The keyboard stays plugged in the whole time the tablet is in the case, so all that must be done for a work session is taking the case out of the bag, opening it and turning on the tablet. It has no battery so there is nothing to keep charged.

Winner: ThinkPad Tablet

Keyboard quality

I write for a living so the keyboard is very important to me. Both tablets and keyboards are pretty good and will serve most folks well. They are near full-sized keyboards and have good key layouts that rival most netbooks.

The Galaxy Tab keyboard exhibits behavior common to Bluetooth models that sometimes affect performance. The keyboard goes into standby mode if not used for a while to save battery. It reconnects automatically when a key is hit, but there is a slight delay when this happens. The ThinkPad keyboard is not wireless so it does not have this delay.

Typing is good on both keyboards, but the ThinkPad is better of the two. I can type just as fast on this keyboard as I can on any laptop, and that is significant. Lenovo is famous for its ThinkPad laptop keyboards, and this tablet model is just as good. It is a keyboard without compromise, and it is significant to have a real laptop keyboard for a laptop replacement.

Winner: ThinkPad Tablet

Ease of Use as a Tablet

While this test is about the laptop replacement capability, these are both tablets at heart. What makes this type of combination shine over real laptops is the ability to take the tablet off the keyboard and use it as a slate.

The advantage of being a wireless keyboard means the Galaxy Tab can be simply lifted off the keyboard and used as a tablet. When it’s needed as a laptop replacement, the Tab can be placed in the slot on the keyboard and it’s back to typing.

The ThinkPad Tablet is plugged into the keyboard, and it can be difficult to remove from the case for use as a tablet. Plugging it back into the keyboard is easy enough, but removing it not so much. It is obviously designed to be left in the keyboard case most of the time.

Winner: Galaxy Tab 10.1

Special features

Both keyboards have special tablet control keys designed to make interacting with the Honeycomb interface easier. These keys allow you to jump to the Home screen, and do things like control the tablet’s volume if listening to music in the background. The two keyboards are very similar in capability in this area.

The ThinkPad Tablet Keyboard Folio has a feature that the Tab keyboard lacks, an optical trackpad in the middle of the keyboard. This makes for a user experience that is much more like using a “real” laptop. Being touch tablets, Honeycomb doesn’t have a cursor on the screen but when you touch the ThinkPad’s trackpad one appears on the tablet screen.

The cursor works as it does on laptops, and it is easy to work with the interface without taking your hands off the keyboard. I didn’t think this would be a big deal at first, but quickly found the trackpad to be a welcome feature.

The ThinkPad Tablet also has a $30 option for a pen that allows taking ink notes on the screen. While this special feature fits the needs of the professional worker likely to be using the tablet as a laptop replacement, a design decision by Lenovo prevents taking quick notes with the pen while in the keyboard case.

The app included for taking ink notes only works in portrait orientation, rendering it impossible to jot a quick note while in the keyboard case. What might be an advantage over other tablets being used as a laptop replacement, that is not the case.

Winner: ThinkPad Tablet

Style

I have come to realize that many folks require style in the gadgets they use. For these users it is not enough to be a productive gadget, it must look good while doing it.

While the Galaxy Tab is an attractive tablet, and the keyboard has a nice brushed aluminum case, the ThinkPad in the folio looks more stylish to me. The portfolio is nice leather and can be carried in the hand, looking very professional. The ThinkPad Tablet in this case looks at home in the conference room, more so than the Tab in its keyboard case.

Winner: ThinkPad Tablet

Price

The ThinkPad Tablet with 16 GB of memory (Wi-Fi only) retails for $499, and the Keyboard Folio is another $100. The Samsung Galaxy Tab also retails for $499 and the Logitech Tablet Keyboard is $100. This makes the decision between the two tablets even harder, as price is not a factor.

Winner: Tie

Conclusion

I find both the Galaxy Tab and the ThinkPad Tablet to be decent laptop replacements, with a nod to the latter due to the superior keyboard. The ability to use the trackpad as a laptop is also an advantage over the Galaxy Tab.

The Galaxy Tab is a thinner, lighter tablet compared to the ThinkPad Tablet, and if those are major considerations it gets the nod. It is easier to remove from the keyboard and use as a tablet, too.

The ThinkPad Tablet used in the Keyboard Folio is as close to a laptop as any tablet I have tested. The keyboard is as good as a laptop’s, the trackpad makes it work like a laptop. It looks professional for use in the workplace, far more than the Galaxy Tab with the Logitech keyboard.

My personal selection for a laptop replacement would be the ThinkPad Tablet with the Keyboard Folio. This would fit heavy use as laptop, more than using the tablet alone. If you anticipate using your device as a tablet foremost with only occasional keyboard use, the Galaxy Tab is a better fit given its thinner and lighter form.

Note: I have not tested the ASUS Transformer, which no doubt would fare well as a laptop replacement. Its keyboard dock is just like a laptop, and the Transformer in this dock literally becomes a laptop. While that may appeal to some, I personally prefer these two smaller keyboards tested. If I wanted to carry a real laptop around all the time, I would do just that. I could be wrong about this but the Transformer in the laptop dock seems like overkill for my purposes.

Top 6 tips to beat the Android phone hackers

admin — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 08:59:48 +0000

Be afraid! Be extremely afraid! A whole host of hackers are out there waiting to harness your Android for their own devices and according to experts, the data theft problem is only going to worsen. Whether it’s a rogue app which installs itself with a Trojan virus to boot or an unscrupulous soul hacking into your voicemail, your personal details are hot property should someone be able to harvest them. Follow our top tips to steer clear of the dodgy Android operators however, and you’ll be able to swat them away like the pesky critters they are.

1) Download your apps from respectable sources

Although Google slipped earlier this year in its vetting of the Android Market, their app store is still the best place to spend your money without risking any unwanted intrusions into your handset.

If you insist on heading to third-party stores be sensible with the content you download. There’s no need to lecture here, it’s just a case of common sense. Spotify, yes. Nubile Teens In Compromising Positions, no.

2) Pay attention when you install

No app is going to have “I want to steal all of your money” written on its installation guide but rogue traders will give off telltale signs that all may not be as it seems. If Google Maps wants to use your GPS then that’s a reasonable request. If Britney Spears Solitaire wants to do the same, then give the songstress a miss.

3) Clear your data

What hackers are ultimately looking for when they tap into your Android is personal data. Erase this potential treasure trove by turning off any autosave functions on your in-smart phone browser and logging out of accounts when you’re finished surfing the internet. If you’re still twitchy about the idea of mobile banking just steer clear of it altogether.

4) Download an anti-virus app

So your smartphone has succumbed to a mysterious illness. All is not lost. Grab a free anti-virus and data back up app in the shape of Lookout Mobile Security to set your Android right. Pay premium for $2.99 per month, UK users have to pay in US dollars we’re afraid, and you can even back up your photos, call history and perform a remote wipe if your precious smartphone is stolen.

5) Change your voicemail password

The dirty truth about truth about voicemail hacking is that it is extremely easy to do. So easy that that certain News Of The World journalists were able to have a field day using the practice. The process works by someone imitating your phone’s ID allowing them to call directly into your voicemail.

Some voicemails will not have a password set up, meaning hackers can instantaneously access the entirety of your stored message library. Other voicemails will have a pre-established password in the vein of ’0000′, meaning your messages are still a gift to potential hackers. Take the time set a personalised password for your voicemail and all such loopholes are instantly erased.

6) Try not to worry too much

Although the threat of Android viruses is real and increasingly rapidly, if you’ve got a half a brain cell to rub together and follow the tips above then you’ll be fine. Besides you’re reading Life Of Android, it’s guaranteed you have plenty of brain cells to rub together.

How to Get the Best Battery Life Out of Your Laptop

admin — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:40:58 +0000

Sometimes it just isn’t convenient to find a place to plug your laptop into, especially when you’re on the go. It can be even less convenient when you’re in the middle of something important. Fortunately, there are some simple tips that most laptop users will benefit from to get more life out of their battery.

The harder a laptop has to work while running on its battery, the faster the laptop battery is going to drain. To preserve battery life, demand less from the computer until it can be plugged back in. Stick to simpler activities, like checking email, over more demanding processes, like online gaming or streaming videos. To conserve power, it is always better to run programs off the hard drive than the disc drive.

Multitasking will also cause the battery to drain much faster. Shut down any unneeded programs, such as iTunes or multiple web browser windows.

Things like USB devices, Wi-Fi, webcams, and external monitors should not be used when trying to prolong laptop battery life. Use a wired connection to access the Internet, if necessary. Turn off anything not being actively used. Trying to charge your MP3 player while on battery power is going to have you looking for a power outlet to plug into very quickly.

Configuring your laptop’s power settings can help substantially. Dim your laptop screen and have your display turn off when not in use, instead of running a screensaver. It can also help to reduce the time it takes before your display turns off when not in use.

If you’re going to be away from your computer for more than a quick trip to the kitchen for a glass of water, consider putting your laptop into hibernate mode, instead of just sleep or standby. The longer your computer will be inactive, the more power will be saved from choosing hibernate over standby.

Avoid starting up your laptop if it is significantly above room temperature. Heat can cause a laptop to work harder than usual, causing a decrease in Dell latitude d630 Battery life. Let the laptop cool down before starting it up.

It is also important to keep your laptop’s air vents clear for better function and Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery life. A soft cloth can remove dust. Be careful when using canned air, which can easily damage internal computer parts. Keeping your work station free of dust and debris can proactively keep your laptop from becoming internally clogged.

When using your laptop away from your desk, be aware of soft things, like blankets or pillows, that could block air vents and cooling fans. Blocked air vents could cause a laptop to overheat and lead to a much shorter battery life. It is also helpful to use a cooling pad when working with your laptop on your lap.

Lithium-ion laptop batteries should be fully drained and recharged approximately every 30 charges. Older nickel-metal hydride batteries should be fully discharged every other week to keep the battery in top shape. Remember to keep the battery contacts clean if you remove the Asus A32-F3 Battery.

Don’t forget to fully charge your laptop before you leave if you plan to use your laptop away from home or the office.

Toshiba to the Rescue

I’m sure you’ve all had this nightmare: It’s your kid’s first day in Kindergarten, and when you pick her up from school, she’s crying. “What’s the matter, honey?” “Daddy, all the other kids have real laptops, I only have Toshiba PA3589U 19V Adapter an iPad!” — what do you do?! Toshiba to the rescue. They’ve got a young’un-oriented laptop that will let your kid can run Excel on and that will survive a direct cupcake strike.

The L635 looks to be your basic compact Toshiba pa3285u-3bas battery notebook, with a 13.3″ display and a thin, but not too thin, form factor. The kid-friendly design is limited to the keyboard and shell: the keyboard is wipeable and resistant to fluids and crumbs, and the shell is fingerprint-resistant — you know, because kids hate fingerprints. On the inside, it’s got the KidZui for-kidz browser and Net Nanny comes pre-installed, so your kids can learn early how to circumvent toshiba pa3399u-2brs battery censorship software. It’ll also have Lego Batman, because hell yes.

It’s really more for the clumsy teen who has a bad habit of spilling shakes on his electronics.

A nice little unconfirmed nugget from Dell’s Dell d630 battery Lionel Menchaca via Twitter over the weekend: the super-sized Dell Streak may bypass Éclair entirely, jumping straight into everyone’s favourite Android flavour, Froyo (despite earlier UK Éclair leaks).

While clearly good news feature-wise, as far as release date is concerned, this will probably only push Dell inspiron 1720 battery back the update.

You’ve got to take the bad with the good, I guess.

You can now run Chromium OS, the open source Dell inspiron 1520 battery developmental version of Google Chrome OS, on your Dell Mini 10v. Don’t have one? Neither do I, so don’t feel too bad.

It make take some time to set up. For one, the download (an image file), as put together by a few of Dell’s Linux guys, weighs in at 7.5GB. Not only will that take a while to download, but you’ll also need a flash drive with at least 8GB of free space on there—another thing I don’t have. You’ll also need access to another Linux-based Dell inspiron 1300 battery computer (well, any computer that can run the “dd” command) to get everything up and running.

Beyond that, it does appear to be fairly painless to instal. You download Dell inspiron 6400 battery said image file then copy it from the Linux computer using “dd” to the flash drive. You take this flash drive, stick it into you Dell Mini 10, and away you go!

What’s your reward for going through all that? Running Chromium OS, of course. Think of it as Google Chrome OS, but way alpha.

I’m going to file this under the “Why would you bother doing that? Because you can” category.

HP’s Second Slate of the New Decade is TouchPad

UPDATE – The Product Page for the TouchPad is now live.

The TouchPad is Palm CEO Hp 530 battery Jon Rubinstein’s baby. WebOS suffered from a massive downturn when the company was sold a mere nine months ago and all of the hard work the Palm team put into it seemed for naught. However, the TouchPad points to a new direction for Palm and the WebOS’ unique “card” interface seems perfectly suited for a slate form hp nc8430 battery factor.

The device supports multi-tasking and Flash. It comes with Quickoffice and supports Google Docs, Dropbox, and Box.net for cloud file storage as well as HP Wireless Printer support. It also Hp Pavilion dv5 battery uses Skype for video calls.

A brief spec list:

Dual core, 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor

Gyro/Accelerometer, Compass
9.7, 1024×768 display, 1.3 megapixel webcam, supports video calling
1.6 pounds, 13.7 mm thick

Note that is is almost exactly the same size as the current iPad, for comparison’s sake. The device runs all of the standard WebOS PIM applications including Palm’s excellent mail app. It also supports Flash out of the box, so all of your favorite websites (that use Flash) will work seamlessly.

Toshiba Expects Display could be Used in Education or Online Shopping

Toshiba caused quite a splash in October, when the company unveiled the world’s first naked-eye 3D TV. But the company is working on other
3D solutions, too: it recently showcased a prototype of a mobile display Toshiba pa3534u-1bas battery that users can tilt to view objects in 3D and from different angles – without having to wear glasses.

In other words, the so-called “Hands On 3D Display” makes it possible to look at objects in 3D from the sides and back. Toshiba assumes that when users start tilting the display, their heads will move perpendicular Toshiba pa3285u-3bas battery to it. As a result, the narrow viewing angle naked-eye 3D displays today have is “virtually” extended from about 30 to up to 90 degrees (thanks to the built-in six-axis gyro sensor).

Toshiba expects that in the future, the display could be used in education or online shopping, for example when the buyer wants to view a product from different angles (and in 3D) before making a Toshiba PA3589U 19V Adapter purchase.

HP’s Upcoming Tablet

HP’s upcoming tablet, the Touchpad and not the PalmPad in case you missed the memo, will be better than number one. You could call it number one plus. That’s exactly what HP’s European head recently stated at a conference in Cannes and this silly quote is now spreading around the gadget Hp 484170-001 battery blogosphere.

The Touchpad will likely be a great; HP doesn’t make bad hardware. It will likely be solid, reliable and well built. That’s not good enough, though. Look at Honeycomb tablets right now. Most of those, especially the Xoom, fits that description yet it can’t find a footing in the still-niche Hp dv6000 battery market. It’s all about the ecosystem and I’m very curious how HP thinks the Touchpad will overtake the iPad and the App Store.

What’s HP supposed to say? “We’re comfortable being number two.” No, hp nc8430 battery is the leader in PCs and shouldn’t be underestimated.

HP scooped up Palm in a billion dollar plus purchase, which good or bad, was an easy way to gain major experience with slate devices. Along with the Palm personal, HP bought webOS, which became the company’s first modern in-house operating system. This move put HP on the same level of control that Apple and RIM have over their products. They own the Touchpad’s hardware and software Hp Pavilion dv5 battery development, which might give the Touchpad an edge over at least the Honeycomb tabs.

HP’s to-do list is rather large and overtaking the iPad shouldn’t be the first bullet. No, HP first needs to attract developers, show the world how the $599 Touchpad is different, attract developers, get 3rd party accessory Hp 530 battery makers on board, and attract developers to the tablet market’s fifth operating system. What was that? Developers, developers, developers.
