3 Secrets For Notebook Laptop Battery Care

Did you know that your notebook laptop battery has feelings too? It does.

• It feels heat in extremely warm environments.
• It feels over used when running on empty.
• It feels under-utilized when always left with a full charge.

It even feels the cooling bad resting gently below its base. At least that is the story in a good environment. Unfortunately laptop battery life can quickly turn dismal when the laptop battery maintenance is lacking.

Here's how to give your laptop battery care it wants so that it will be ready to function next time you need it in a pinch.

Cool Down

The last thing you probably need is to buy something more. After all, that's probably why you want to know how to extend the life of your notebook laptop in the first place.

It's true.

You don't need a cooling plate for your laptop, but it sure does help for both your lap and the device itself. However, a little duct tape trick can work wonders even without a notebook cooler.

Did I say duct tape? I meant to say CD case.

Simply take your CD case and prop it under the backside of your laptop while letting it rest on a flat surface. In this way the heat is able to escape much easier and your less likely to get burned.

Speaking Of Heat

Try to keep your laptop out of the sun or hotter environments. Yes, you may need to work on that tan, but subjecting a laptop to this type of environment does nothing for the longevity of the laptop battery life.

Optimized Usage

Laptop batteries don't enjoy full tanks any more than running on empty. It finds its best comfort when able to locate a happy medium zone somewhere in the middle of its available battery power. Therefore, aim to keep your laptop about half full of charge whenever possible in-order for it to reach notebook laptop battery nirvana.

what is the difference between a wireless laptop and a notebook laptop?

my mom is planning to buy me a laptop, the problem is i dont know what is the difference between a notebook laptop and a wireless laptop

Today, there is not much difference but before, it was a question of size (see below for a (short) recap) !

Both notebook and laptop can be "wireless" and most NEW portables bought now have this capability built-in.

Let's go down memory lane for the little history of laptops (short version): The "first" one came out of the mind of Alan Kay in 1968 and was described on paper in 1972 as the "Dynabook". The first POPULAR machine was the Osborne 1 (affectionately dubbed the brick) weighed 23.5 pounds, had no battery, only a tiny 5" CRT screen and dual 5¼" single-density floppy drives.

It was followed by many others but let's skip that before you fall asleep !

Today, the general terms Laptop and Notebook along with the terms Desktop replacement, Subnotebook and the newer term Netbook can be used to refer to a number of classes of small portable computers (in order of size): Desktop replacement – emphasizes performance, is less portable, 15" and larger screen: A desktop replacement is a laptop that provides most of the capabilities of a desktop with a similar performance.

Laptop – balances portability and features, 13-15" screen: Called this way because the first model were heavy and had to rest on the person's lap.

Notebook – Notebook is now used interchangeably with Laptop but at first, it was a smaller, thinner and lighter range of devices (comparable with a traditional paper notebook) hence the name.

Subnotebook (also called an ultraportable by some vendors) – emphasizes portability, has fewer features, 13" or smaller screen: A Laptop designed (and marketed) with an emphasis on portability that retains the performance of a standard notebook.

Finally, Netbooks are laptops that are light-weight, economical, energy-efficient and especially suited for wireless communication and Internet access. Hence the name "net"book (for "web-based (or Net) computing) rather than "note"book which is based on size.
