Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery

In terms of the deal. The Acer Chromebook 15 in the 4GB RAM/32GB SSD model retails for $349.99. However, it is already on sale through Amazon for only $314.95. That said, if you are an Amazon Prime member, then Amazon is currently offering this model for only $249.99. To take advantage of the Prime price, head through the link below and click on the â€˜view offerâ€™ tab on the right of the screen. After which the price change will take affect. It is also worth pointing out that this is a â€˜Deal of the Dayâ€™ promotion so as well as being only available for Prime members, it is only available at this price for the rest of today.

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Electronics Inc said on Wednesday it will work with German carmaker Volkswagen AG (VOWG_p.DE) to jointly develop a connected car platform to enable vehicles to communicate with external devices.It also lacks the garish, F-22 fighter-jet styling of competing gaming notebooks from Asus and Alienware. Far from being a head-turner, itâ€™s actually pretty dull â€“ or minimalist, depending on your point of view. The dark grey plastic finish, chunky bezels and lack of any distinguishing features â€“ aside from being relatively thin at 21mm â€“ come across as drab and uninspiring.

The build quality leaves a lot to be desired, too. Put simply, itâ€™s cheap, plasticky and doesn't offer the premium quality youâ€™d expect of such an expensive laptop. Thereâ€™s a gap between the bezel and the display, the body creaks and flexes, and in one model I tested, there was a distinct buzzing sound when using the headphone port. This was worse when connected to the power supply, suggesting itâ€™s an electrical whine.

In terms of connectivity, the P35Xv5 has everything you need, including the latest USB Type-C port, 3 x USB 3, a full-size HDMI input, card reader, RJ-45 Ethernet, D-SUB, mini-DisplayPort, Kensington lock, mic in, headphones out and DC power port.Gigabyte hasn't made any significant changes to the body of its gaming notebooks for a few years now, and thatâ€™s evident in the fact that the smaller USB Type-C port is surrounded by a bright orange plastic filler in place of where an older standard USB port sat. Not exactly what we'd describe as an elegant solution.

LG, in a statement, said it and Volkswagen will work to jointly develop over "the next few years" technologies allowing drivers to control and monitor devices in their homes such as lights and security systems, as well as in-vehicle entertainment technologies and an alerting system for drivers providing "recommendations" based on real-time situations.

Automakers and technology companies have been forming partnerships in recent years, as the race to develop self-driving cars has created need for more sophisticated components and software that will allow vehicles to seamlessly communicate with various external devices and servers via the internet.LG Electronics, along with affiliates LG Display Co Ltd and LG Innotek Co Ltd, has identified the auto industry as a new growth driver and has been pushing to grow new businesses amid continued struggles for its mobile phones division.

LG and its sister companies last year clinched a deal to supply key components ranging from the battery cells and the electric motor for General Motors Co's 2017 Chevrolet Bolt electric car, burnishing their credentials. LG companies also supply products such as car audio systems and batteries to Volkswagen.In the statement on Wednesday, Thomas Form, Volkswagen's head of electronics and vehicle research, called LG a strong partner and said the pair will work to integrate smart home solutions into Volkswagen vehicles.

False. This simply isn't true -- not anymore, at least. Most smartphone, laptop, accessory and AA or AAA chargers are smart enough to momentarily stop charging once the device is fully charged. It does this long enough for the device to drain two or three percent, then it will climb back up to 100 percent.Leaving it plugged in like this every single night can have an impact on the lifespan of the battery, but the act of leaving it plugged in isn't as damaging as some people make it out to be.

Computer manufacturers often recommend you "exercise" your battery about every other month by letting it drain fully, then charging it back up. But that's about it.What you see as 0 percent or "dead" when your phone or laptop won't power on is the battery still sitting at somewhere around a 10 percent charge. This is why, when you hold the power button, the screen will turn on long enough to tell you to charge the battery.So what if you do follow this wrongheaded advice anyway? If you allow your battery-powered devices to go to "dead" each and every day, it will reduce the battery's effectiveness over time.In other words, top off more often to prolong the battery life of your electronics, and stop letting your phone or laptop die every day.

False. To be fair, it doesn't hurt anything to fully charge a device's battery before using it. It doesn't hurt anything if you skip this step, either.So why do manufacturers sometimes tell you to do it? Fully charging the battery before using a device is to kick-start what's known as a "calibration process," helping the device learn how that individual battery behaves. This is where I tell you that most batteries are self-calibrating, so it's still an unnecessary step.False. Storing a battery in the refrigerator or freezer is not only bad, but can be dangerous. Extreme temperatures - hot or cold and especially for long periods of time - are not good for any type of battery.

Remember, a battery is a collection of chemicals that store energy. Doing something that upsets those chemicals can have dangerous consequences.To maximize shelf life, Energizer suggests storing "batteries at normal room temperatures (68 degrees F to 78 degrees F or 20 degrees C to 25 degrees C) with moderate humidity levels (35 to 65 percent RH)." This should provide a shelf life of five to 10 years for your standard, cylindrical alkaline cells and 10 to 15 years for cylindrical lithium batteries.By the way, if you're wondering why your smartphone battery isn't performing as well after just a year or two, that's because the more you use a battery, the less efficient it becomes.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a public recall announcement on behalf of Toshiba, which warns around 91,000 users in the US, an additional 10,000 users in Canada about an issue with their Toshiba laptop's battery.
According to the recall's details, the issue affects the lithium-ion batteries installed in Portege, Satellite, and Tecra laptop models. Panasonic is the manufacturer of the laptops' battery model.

All laptops sold in the US and Canada between June 2011 through January 2016, manufactured in China and Japan are affected. The laptops were sold mainly through Office Depot, Staples, Toshibadirect.com, but also from other electronic stores or online websites.Affected batteries may overheat and melt
Toshiba says that the laptop batteries may overheat and even melt, with the potential to hurt their owners. Four such cases have been reported so far.Microsoft is hoping to counteract the amount of battery life consumed by these extra features with even more power-saving enhancements, like more efficient processor management and controls on background activity.

It's not the first time that Google Chrome has been singled out as as a browser that guzzles power. While it may be the world's most popular browser, it is notoriously tough on laptop batteries - especially MacBooks.Google has previously said it is working on solving this problem, but these latest tests show that no substantial improvements have been made yet.That's what some experts are saying, with Microsoft chiefs warning the internet browser could be eating up the amount of time you can spend on your device without it being plugged in.The tech giant ran a series of tests, with the experiment seeing the rival of Google stream the same video on four laptops.

The devices were all identical - and unplugged - with the only difference between them being the browser the video was being played on.Microsoft pitted Google Chrome against Opera, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefax in its testing laboratory, and the result ranks the former as the worst performer.Dave Thompson/PA WireLaptop. Keyboard. Computer. Broadband. Internet. Fibre optic. Google Chrome emerged bottom of the pack in the test, with the laptop's battery only lasting 4 hours and 19 minutes.Mozilla Firefox saw the laptop's battery drained in 5 hours and 9 minutes, making it second worst.Opera took the silver medal, clocking up a more impressive time of 6 hours and 18 minutes.This will come as no surprise to tech savvy consumers, though, with Opera boasting a specific power saving mode and the ability to reduce background activity.

The system does this by pausing unused plug-ins and hidden animations while a laptop isn't charging.Microsoft Edge emerged victorious, managing to stream the video for a total of 7 hours and 22 minutes - an eye-popping 70 per cent longer than Google Chrome.Of course Asus has bundled other softwares too like Steam application, ROG Gaming Centre, Asus Web Storage, WPS Office and more. AudioWizard for customizing sound profiles, McAfee LiveSafe, Microsoft Office 365 (1-month trial pack), and Dropbox are also present.
