My laptop will not turn on-What to do


Power down the machine completely, unplug it from the wall and remove the laptop battery.

Wait 30 seconds

Re-install the battery, plug it into the wall and start it up.

It sounds like you are having a power supply issue. Sometimes the trick above 'wakes it back up' so to speak.

Otherwise I would get some service done to that machine, you may need a new battery, sometimes a bad battery will cause this issue. Try plugging it in without the battery attached and see if it starts that way.

Try it with only the battery fully installed but do not plug it into the wall.

New Custom Built VAIO S Launches on Sony Style



VAIO S Just when you thought the CES fun was coming to an end…The VAIO S isn’t a new laptop per se but the announcement of a custom built option is certainly welcomed. This little mobile machine originally launched in Spring of last year and is a lightweight option for a road warrior or a business traveler. All VAIO S models (be it pre-built or custom built) have 13.3 inch displays. The computer is about 1” thick and weighs just over 4 pounds. So again. Pretty light.
In terms of custom options, you can get up to a Ci5-580M processor, up to 256GB SSD*  and include up to 8GB RAM. One of the popular features on select VAIO PCs is the backlit keyboard which is available on the S. There’s also options for a Blu-ray® disc writeable drive, Windows 7 Professional and NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics card with 512MB of VRAM.

If you select an Intel graphic option, then that makes your system WiDi compatible meaning you can wirelessly stream your PC content to an HDTV**.The S comes with a magnesium casing and G-Sensor™ Shock Protection technology which helps protect your laptop against the daily bumps we tend to put our computers through (now if only it had technology against little chocolate covered fingers, we’d all be in heaven).


Plus to keep things fun, the Sony Style team is offering a free upgrade to Ci5 processor with custom built models that add Windows Professional.
Now if you’re looking for a pre-built version, models purchased at SonyStyle.com all S series models come with an extended battery.

The VAIO S comes in Black and Silver though Sony Style just added the VAIO S laptop to its Signature line. Signature models launched in (2) limited edition colors of wavy black and wavy white. Signature models also come with 512MB dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 310 graphics.
Custom VAIO S models start from $874.99.

ACi launches low-cost laptop at Rs 4,999

K's longest standing computer specialist brand ACi today unveiled India's first ever fully-functional high-resolution screen laptop at Rs 4,999 in the Indian market.
The laptops will be marketed in India by a BSE-listed group company, Allied Computers International (Asia) Ltd.
ACi launches low-cost laptop at Rs 4,999
"We have launched India's super low cost laptop at Rs 4,999. It will be real fully functional, Windows compatible laptop, at the lowest price tag in the country," ACi's India marketeer Allied Computers International's (Asia) Mananging Director Hirji Patel told PTI here.
The company hopes to sell 200,000 low cost laptops in the first year across the country, Patel said.
ACi India offers laptops and PCs in the Indian market with innovative design. Talking about the viability of the project, Patel said, the company will import the product from China and offer products to Indian consumers at a very thin profit margin.
"We will never compromise on quality with price. The range we will be offering are carefully designed and developed just like majority of our models launched both in UK and India," Patel said.
He pointed out that although, India today enjoys a volume sales of around 2.5 million laptops per annum, it is still barely 10 percent of what Western countries like UK and other leading European countries are churning out.
Introducing such low-cost computing devices becomes more significant in the wake of various state governments like Tamil Nadu, UP and others announcing to provide laptops for students. The company is looking at offering low cost laptops to these state governments, Patel added

Dell Launches Two XPS Laptops, One with Ultrabook Capabilities

Dell Launches Two XPS Laptops, One with Ultrabook CapabilitiesDell has unveiled two new additions to its XPS laptop lineup including a 14-inch clamshell that can be configured as an Ultrabook and a more high-powered 15.6-inch device. The new laptops feature thin aluminum casings, edge-to-edge displays with hardened Corning Glass, backlit chiclet keyboards and multigesture touchpads. Both of the new laptops are available now and the specs are pretty close to what leaked to a Chinese tech site earlier in June.

Dell Launches Two XPS Laptops, One with Ultrabook CapabilitiesShared specs between the XPS 14 and 15 include USB 3.0 ports, a mini DisplayPort, HDMI Out, a 3-in-1 media card reader, and a 1.3 megapixel Webcam. Both devices also come with an Ethernet jack, but Dell says the devices were too thin to offer a full Ethernet option. To get around this problem the company included a hinged Ethernet port that expands to fit a cable when you open it.
The XPS 14 standard configuration includes a 14-inch WLED display with 1600-by-900 resolution, dual-core 2.6 GHz Ivy Bridge Core i5-3317U, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 802.11 a/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. For storage options you can choose a 500GB hard drive, a 500GB hard drive with 32GB mSATA SSD, or a 512GB SSD. If you choose one of the SSD options, the XPS 14 qualifies as an Ultrabook, according to Dell’s chief blogger, Lionel Menchaca. Dell claims battery life for the XPS 14 is between 8 and 11 hours, depending on the configuration.
Dell Launches Two XPS Laptops, One with Ultrabook CapabilitiesTo keep the XPS 14 thin Dell decided not to include an optical drive; the laptop measures 0.81 inches thick.

Acer Reveals Aspire 5600U And Aspire 7600U All-In-One PCs With Windows 8

Who would've known that Computex would be the official coming-out party for what's likely the final build of Windows 8? It sure looks that way, with Acer introducing new Windows 8 all-in-one PCs today. The new U Series is being announced alongside new Aspire S7 Ultrabooks by Acer, with the Aspire 7600U (27-inch) and the Aspire 5600U (23-inch) slated to ship with Win8.

The Aspire 7600U supports up to 64-point simultaneous touch from all angles, enabling use by multiple users at once. Can't really imagine why you'd want multi-user Metro interactions, but then again, we haven't had a chance to see what it's truly capable of. It features 0 to 90 degree viewing and swivels at four sides when laid flat for enjoyment by more than one user. There's a 1080p display, an ultra-slim design and Dolby audio.

The 5600U is said to be the thinnest AIO available, but otherwise, will likely sport most of the same specifications. Speaking of which, Acer's being quiet on what kind of hardware will fill the rigs, and there's no price or release date set yet, either. This fall, you can bet we'll hear more.


Acer Announces Windows® 8 All-In-One U Series

Ultra-thin with Full HD visuals, Dolby® surround sound, and
ergonomic touch from all angles for single or multiple users

TAIPEI, TAIWAN (June 4, 2012) – Acer today announces two new Windows® 8 all-in-one (AIO) PCs at Computex Taipei: the Aspire 7600U (27-inch) and the Aspire 5600U (23-inch).

The striking Aspire 7600U supports up to 64-point simultaneous touch from all angles, enabling use by multiple users at once. It features 0 to 90 degree viewing and swivels at four sides when laid flat for enjoyment by more than one user. At just 35 mm thin, the 7600U is ultra-slim. It delivers Full HD visuals and Dolby® Home Theater® surround sound. This AIO is made for modern day explorers who want a cutting-edge multimedia experience.

The elegant Aspire 5600U is the thinnest AIO available and makes a stylish addition to any room in the house, whether on a desk or wall mounted. It features an ergonomic touch design and can tilt from 30 to 85 degrees for enhanced single-user comfort. It's designed for use as an everyday family-hub that presents Full HD visuals and Dolby® Home Theater® Surround Sound along with powerful graphics and quick responsiveness.

Nokia Booklet 3G Review





Nokia left the computer business in 1991 when it sold its computer arm to ICL, which then later became Fujitsu. Since then Nokia hasn't so much as picked up a hex-head driver, until now.
Nokia's re-entry into computer manufacturing is the Booklet 3G, which the INQ managed to get its hands on at the Nokia World show to put together some initial impressions.

The designers of the Booklet 3G told us that the whole design process started with the battery, and everything else came after that.
Nokia was asked by its customers if, with its long history of producing phones with long battery lives, it could produce a portable computer that also has a long battery life. Its answer is the Nokia Booklet 3G.
The Booklet 3G battery design stems from a Nokia 1000 mAh mobile phone battery. Building around this as a power source, the firm created a slim-line 16-cell removable battery that has been benchmarked at 12 hours usage. However we were told by one of Nokia's design team that it's more realistic to see around 8 to 9.5 hours of actual battery life over an average working day.
The chassis of the Booklet 3G is manufactured from one single piece of aircraft-grade aluminium, with no breaks or joins whatsoever. The chassis is part of the heat dispersal design of Nokia's netbook, as the device has no cooling fans. Nokia has abandoned the traditional way of cooling a portable computer with fans. Instead it uses passive heat sinks, relying heavily on the chassis as the largest one.



With all the netbooks we've ever seen and used, the fan always kicks in at some point during the benchmarking process, as the CPU's heat needs to go somewhere. When we get our review unit in for proper testing, it will be interesting to see how the Booklet will handle processor intensive tasks, such as video encoding or even HD flash playback.
The Booklet's screen doesn't display an image that's as sharp and distinct as we're used to. The 10.1-inch glass display is reminiscent of the first Asus Eee PC netbooks that came out way back in 2007. Those were a little blurry as a result of the cheapness of the build and the material used in TFT LCD technology, and the Nokia Booklet 3G harks back to those days, whereas other netbook makers have moved away from those screens.
On a more positive note, the screen is capable of displaying a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. This isn't the normal resolution seen in 10-inch screens, as 1024x600 is more commonly found in netbook displays of this size.



The Nokia Booklet has a very slim design, one of the thinnest that we've seen in a first generation model. Its overall thickness is just 19.9mm, which is only five millimetres more than the thickness of the Macbook Air. At the same time the Booklet has a much smaller overall footprint at 264mm wide and 185mm deep, compared to the massive 325mm width and 227mm depth of Apple's flagship ultra-portable computer.
Nokia's Booklet 3G does have a neat, substantial appearance to its overall build that gives the impression of a very well designed and over-engineered device.
On the right-hand side of the device is a flap, which upon opening exposes its SIM slot and the SD card reader. The latter doesn't support the higher capacity SDHC cards, but that's neither here nor there as we're more interested in the SIM functionality rather than whether it has removable storage with more than 4GB capacity.
The SIM card is very easily accessible and not buried away under the battery or anywhere else that's obscure, as is too often seen in other netbooks. The SIM card is also hot-swappable without powering down or rebooting the system. This could aid peace of mind for those who might be worried that the Booklet isn't using WiFi and instead could be running up large data bills on their mobile contract, although all connections are easily managed by the OS software.
The built-in 3G/HSPA modem can only be used for data calls, over WCDMA 900/2100 or 800-850/900/2100 GSM. No details are being made public by Nokia as to what chipset it has used for this modem, despite the INQ's repeated questioning of various members of Nokia's hierarchy. As the Finnish company does have good ties with Texas Instruments and its OMAP chipsets, it's a fair assumption that one of those has been used here, and Nokia didn't discourage the notion.
The netbook has the Intel Poulsbo US15W mobile chipset with HD PowerVR SGX graphics, all of which is driven by an Intel Z530 1.6GHz processor. It's not one that's usually seen in netbooks, more in Media Internet Devices (MID), although it was also Dell's choice for its Mini 10 netbook. It seemed powerful enough to handle everything we threw at the Booklet.
We never got around to asking about the keyboard at Nokia's event, which we regret as it's a rather unusual design and one we thought must have a story behind it. The keys are somewhat spaced out and separated from each other, with some distance in between them all.



In action, we actually found the keyboard rather easy to use and we're reluctant to say, difficult to part with, as we found it quite well suited to our two-finger method of typing down to the ground.
There are some other well thought out niceties included with the Booklet 3G, such as Nokia's Ovi suite, access to Nokia's Music for the PC, a 120GB Toshiba hard drive, HDMI and audio jack.
The audio jack can be used with a standard Nokia wire hands-free kit. The kit often found in a phone's retail box, which has the mic, earpiece and an all-in-one 3.5mm jack like the Booklet's audio jack, fits perfectly. Thanks to the chipset used in the netbook, HDMI out and even 1080p should be possible, although the Booklet doesn't have a VGA port.
As it runs Windows 7, don't expect the Nokia Booklet 3G to be on the shelves until sometime near the end of October.
In Short
As a first attempt at a netbook by a phone manufacturer, Nokia's Booklet 3G is a very impressive effort. The engineering and design work, and the thought that have obviously gone into the Booklet 3G do shine through.
We have our reservations about the heat output as this netbook is fanless, but we're open to being convinced that it's a good design after we fully test it. We also have a minor reservation about the battery, but once again until we thoroughly put it through its paces we'll reserve our final judgment.

Acer, Toshiba, Asustek to Reveal Windows 8 Tablets



 Innovation is the word in today's gadget driven world. We are slowly moving away from desktops to laptops and to tablets. Tablets are the latest fad to hit the market. Computer companies like Acer, Toshiba do not want to lose the tablet race to iPad. They have now joined hands with Microsoft and are going to unveil tablets with Windows 8 operating systems at the 32nd Computex trade show in Taipei.


At the trade show Acer is all set to launch a standard tablet with Windows 8 as the operating System. Acer has decided to stick with Microsoft's old faithful Intel for its chip unlike Asustek, who according to sources will use tablets based on an Nvidia ARM- based chip called Tegra along with another one powered by an Intel chip. Asustek plans to launch Windows 8 on a tablet with a detachable keyboard, like its Transformer model. Along with a tablet Toshiba is all set to unveil a notebook as well. Toshiba had decided to use Texas Instruments for its processors.


According to the Evercore Group LLC, the tablet market will only keep growing from here, while the good old desktop and laptop may soon start disappearing from the market. So Acer, Toshiba and Asustek have chosen wisely to gear up in the world of tablets. The tablet market has been predicted to grow at 70% per year till 2015.


The world of gadgets never sleeps. Though Windows was caught napping for some time they have woken up and jumped into the tablet race along with Acer, Toshiba and Asustek and many other manufactures.

Acer Launches two New Window 8 Tablets

Before the Computex event begins at Taipei in Taiwan, Acer has unveiled two new Window 8 tablets- the Iconia W510 and the Iconia W700. Company has also announced one good looking Window 8 ultrabook, and it seems like Window 8 is going to rule this upcoming event.


Iconia W700 is an 11.6-inch tablet which comes with a full HD 1920×1080 pixels resolution touch support display, and has a special cradle which lets you position the device at 70 degrees for landscape viewing and 20 degrees for touch use.

The other tablet, Iconia W510 comes in a convertible form factor, it can be used with standard tablet style, turns into a laptop when docked with a detachable keyboard and runs in a presentation mode if you rotate it 295 degrees with the dock. It sports a 10.1-inch screen with a full HD 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920×1280 pixels. The device features SIM card slot, USB 2.0 port, MicroSD slot, MicroUSB, HDMI ports and gives 18 hours of battery life when used with keyboard.


Company didn’t reveal any details about the processors on which these two tablets will be running and there are no details about how much they will cost.

Acer Unviles Touchscreen Windows 8 Ultrabooks



Bangalore: At the computer expo, Computex in 2011, Intel promised all the gadget buffs that they would start work on ultrabook concept. With all the ultrabooks there in the market and the latest announcement by Acer about its S7 series of Windows 8 Ultrabooks confirms the statement that 2012 is the year of ultrabooks.  Intel’s $300 million funding that will be spent over the next four years in research areas related to ultrabooks seems to be a productive one.


Acer has announced the release of S7 series of Windows 8 Ultrabooks with 11.6-Inch and 13.3-Inch touch screens. A day before the official start of Computex-2012, Taipei, and the company has also unveiled two new Windows 8 tablets.


Inspired from the slim Macbook Air, the ultrabook has a sleek aluminum metallic unibody design. The sleek and minimal looks make the ultrabooks attractive and classy. Both the ultrabooks claim to have a long battery life. The 13.3-inch model boasts of battery life of 12 hours and the 11.6-inch model can last for up to 9 hours.


With the implementation of the technology of Twin Air Cooling System, Acer has tried to address the problem of overheating. The Series has an interesting feature of light-sensing keyboard, which automatically detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the keyboard backlight brightness.


Both the ultrabooks can be opened up to 180 degrees which makes using the touch screen feature easier. But surprisingly it misses out on the 360 degree fold up like the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga.


Apart from these details Acer has neither released the price of the ultrabook nor the processor.  The ultrabooks will be out in the market when Windows 8 is released, so we can expect them to hit the stores towards the end of the year.
