ASUS Eee PC 1001 Battery

At about half the size of a pizza box, itâ€™s a 1080p slab of touchscreen entertainment thatâ€™s primarily delivered through a single screen app for navigating compatible Galaxy View apps. (Theyâ€™re really just Android tablet appsâ€”more on that in a second.) There are also dual four-watt speakers that hide behind a silly hinge thing with a handle for toting it anywhere you want. It costs $600 (£380, exact UK price TBA) for the wifi-only version.

Why Does It Matter?
Iâ€™m not sure it does, and I donâ€™t even care. I love it.

Is it a new category of devices? I guess? Iâ€™ve certainly never typed the words "TV-tablet hybridâ€ before. Thereâ€™s nothing else like it, and the quirky concept feels like a bit of a gamble for Samsung. Will it replace your TV or tablet? I hope not. Is it still loads of fun? A thousand times yes.

Design
The Samsung Galaxy View tab is a big fella. At about 20-inches diagonally, itâ€™ll still fit in a decent-sized backpack, but the hinged standle (stand-plus-handle) wonâ€™t let the gadget lie completely flat.

The business end of the device looks and feels like any tablet, though you have to imagine something probably twice the size of anything youâ€™ve used before. The back side is slim at the edges but bulges a couple inches in the middle to accommodate extra batteries and TV-quality speakers. This is also where the standle connects, offering just two settings: Open for standing or closed for lying tiled on a flat surface.

Samsung Galaxy View Review: I Love This Magical Slab of Content The whole thing feels very sturdy, and at 2.6 kilos, itâ€™s definitely not something you want to drop on your foot.Itâ€™s rare for a gadget blogger to encounter a gadget and woefully wonder: What the shit am I supposed to do with this thing. Itâ€™s happened to me before. But never with such exciting conclusions as the Galaxy View offered.In brief, everyone will use the Galaxy View in their own unique way. I canâ€™t count the ways that it might be fun to have a portable TV that will also let you search the web on massive canvas. I propped it up next to the sink while washing dishes. I plopped it on the coffee table. I even awkwardly cradled it in bed. Youâ€™ll have to figure out how the device fits into your life, but I donâ€™t think youâ€™ll ever miss your life without the Galaxy View. For the purposes of this review, Iâ€™ll walk you through a few of my own experiences with it.

Internally, the Spin specifically comes sporting a 2.5GHz Intel i7-6500U processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. It's all standard fare for a 13-inch convertible laptop in every regard except for price, and this little beauty will ring you up for $1,399 (about £919, AU$1,95 when it releases later this month.

That's running a bit high even for an Ultrabook, but it's still cheaper than getting a comparably outfitted 13-inch MacBook Air for $1,449 (£1,209, AU$A$2,249) or the Dell XPS 13 for $1,649 (£1,149, AU$2,499).

Unfortunately, Samsung hasn't announced any lower-end configurations, so if you like the Book 9 Spin's design you'll have to pay top dollar to get it.
Windows 10 is designed to run on a wide variety of mobile devices, such as laptops and tablets, which primarily run on batteries. To help you to manage and conserve battery power on these devices, Windows 10 comes with a new tool called Battery Saver. Once your battery charge falls below a certain percentage, Battery Saver automatically kicks in and throttles back various mechanisms that draw power, thus extending the battery life. The most noticeable thing Battery Saver does when it kicks in is to immediately dim the screen's brightness, but it also cuts down operating system and app background activity and prevents push notifications from apps that contain live tiles. If you need to get more out of your battery, you can adjust Battery Saver's settings. Let's take a closer look.

Using Battery Saver
To access Battery Saver, select Settings from the Start Menu/Screen. When the Settings screen appears, select the Battery Saver tab, shown in Figure A. In the Overview section, you'll see the current state of battery life expressed as a percentage and as an amount of time. As you can see, on my example system, the battery life is at 74% and the estimated time remaining is 1 hour and 34 minutes.

In the Battery Saver section, you can see that Battery Saver is currently off. That's because my battery life is at 74%. The default setting is for Battery Saver to automatically turn on when the battery life falls below 20%. However, you can manually turn Battery Saver on any time from the Settings screen by clicking the toggle switch. In addition, there are two otherâ€”more convenientâ€”places where you can turn Battery Saver on and off. If you simply click on the battery icon, you'll see a battery notification screen and can just click the Battery Saver tile, as shown in Figure B. You can also access the Action Center and click the Battery Saver tile, as shown in Figure C.

From the Battery Saver tab in Settings you can configure how Battery Saver works. Start by clicking Battery Saver settings. When the Change Battery Saver Settings screen appears (Figure G), you'll see some of the ways that you can configure how Battery Saver works.

Making sure you have enough power for your gadgets when you are on the move is a constant headache. As the number of devices we all carry has expanded, so has our consumption of power. Britons alone throw away 600 million batteries every year, but batteries are no longer the only way to carry the power you need to keep your devices working all day every day.

When working on the move the importance of a reliable and plentiful supply of power is even more important. However, keeping phones, tablets and your notebook PC charged and working is only the tip of the iceberg. Today it's possible to create a mobile office that doesn't need a mains power socket to deliver truly off-grid working. And the need for power is clear with EE's recent Power Bar giveaway being a runaway success.

Basically, when creating portable power sources you have two choices: you can carry battery packs, or generate the power you need, when you need it. The number of portable battery packs is bewildering. These packs need to be small and compact, yet offer enough juice to make carrying them justified. Not all battery packs are made equal, which is where a bit of battery education can come in handy when choosing the right one for your needs.
