26. April 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: computer, liftstyle, technology · Tags: , , , ,

Surface consumer attention from the beginning of the listing, Microsoft is close to perfect industrial design on the Surface tablet reflected most vividly. But many friends of Surface equipped with a tablet of the new system will certainly be a variety of doubt, We specially set up the the “Surface Almighty board”, to introduce the Surface the Almighty characteristics and buying guide.

Just landed in the domestic market in the recent Surface Pro is undoubtedly one of the most talked about products in the domestic market, the comprehensiveness of the powerful hardware configuration and Windows 8 systems, many of my friends have a strong intention to buy this product. But also some friends on a product that also raised the question: such a powerful hardware configuration, however, has such a compact body, life is not weak?

Due to the Surface Pro X86 architecture is indeed power is much greater than with the ARM architecture, so a product that certainly in life than to have a large gap in the iPad mini with 8-10 hours of battery life. So I believe that as long as the Surface Pro can have the same endurance (the same hardware specifications) general super pole, is enough to make people satisfied with.

Charging time

With respect to the life time, the charging time is also very important. With the increasing performance of the Tablet PC, the battery capacity is growing, consumers are actually still care about these devices charging time.

We can see from the above figure and the Surface Pro full charging takes about two and a half hours. This data should presumably make the most of the users are satisfied with this than with the same battery capacity of the new iPad shorten the full two hours. Speaking of reasons, Surface Pro power adapter output current is 3.6A, and Retina iPad using the power adapter output current is 2.5A, so the gap will thus produced.

Endurance rival traditional notebook slightly inferior super pole

Microsoft Surface Pro back once familiar x86 architecture platform, so we choose to test software on the PC platform for the endurance test PowerMark it with the famous PCMark, 3DMark, but also by Futuremark company developed. During the test, it will continuously cycle run a set of test scripts, including four common applications: Internet browsing, word processing, video playback, 3D games, as close as possible to the actual usage of the vast majority of users testing.

The test is divided into three, respectively, in Internet browsing, word processing, video playback test three common user options.

Three test test Surface Pro gives the results in about four hours, for a such a high-power products is still a good data. Similar to the traditional laptop, slightly lower than most of the super pole.

Summary:

From Surface Proo hardware configuration and features, its battery life performance is actually completely acceptable. If you have previously used an ordinary laptop, Surface Pro can achieve the same battery life performance, of course, contrast ultra-extreme or slightly inferior, this estimate will be improved in the next generation of Intel Haswell processor listed, look forward to Microsoft Surface Pro 2.

A. Battery problems

1, new battery needs to be charged as mobile phones 12 hours.?

Although laptop circuit design than the phone, but in order to let the new hp Pavilion DV7 series Battery to be able to work in a better state, the activation of the battery and calibration work still need to conducted, common practice firms is a new laptop in the boot for the first time The battery shall be provided with 3% of electricity should not use an external power supply, but the battery inside the power exhausted, until the shutdown, and then use the external power supply charge. Also running out of hp HSTNN-LB73 Battery power then charge, charging time must be more than 12 hours, repeated three times, in order to activate the battery.

2, why the battery useless use of electricity also reduces the?

Due to the ambient humidity and non-absolute insulation environment, batteries natural phenomena consumption exists, recency and quality, as the hp ProBook 4510s Battery will decline by about 1%, 3-4 days, so as long as is not a significant decline is a normal phenomenon.
3, using the power necessary to remove the battery for it?

General laptop charging design are less than 95% of the electricity will be charged, and because of the presence of natural wear and tear for the loss of the battery, remove and not remove the basic are the same, and therefore whether to remove as the habits may be, if you remove the proposed battery wrapped in cling film and place it in a cool, dry place, and I remember at least once a month or so battery charging, to avoid hp Pavilion DV7Z-1000 battery loss of activity.

4, the battery is not completely used up charge will reduce the life?

The battery life is generally calculated in accordance with the full charge cycles, Li batteries are generally 300-400 times. Of course, you do not have to worry about battery power on a single charge, even if it is only one point will be calculated once the battery charge cycles generally only when the power accumulated charge to 80-90% will increase time, so do not worry. Would also like to say this, the laptop battery usually with lithium hp 484170-001 battery, so avoid using a lithium battery in the high temperature environment experts to study the aging process will accelerate the lithium battery in the high temperature state, and not in extreme low temperature environment to use. The low temperature environment will reduce the activity of the lithium battery and reduce the life of the laptop battery. Activated processing, regular lithium battery is fully charged and discharged, lithium battery to restore maximum capacity. Approach is to turn off all power management notebook slowly discharge until completely dead, and then, when fully charged, repeat two to three times. The hot weather as much as possible to maintain their own hp 530 Battery, in order to make laptops better play to their role.

B. Notebook cooling problems

Notebook cooling generally used heat pipe cooling, keyboard convection, temperature-controlled fan the three cooling mode. Personally think that the more advanced technology, IBM and Toshiba, while Toshiba laptop is not optimistic about the many people.

1, why the fan to spin it at boot time on longer turn?

Because the laptop Toshiba PA3728U-1BAS battery temperature control design, boot fan self-test will stop rotating, will accelerate the rotation only when the machine reaches a certain temperature, which is why when you high workload, such as playback high decoding rate video, 3D high-speed rotation of the game when fan

2, using the notebook should pay attention to the surrounding environment?

When using a notebook, should pay attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding environment, usually notebook ideal working temperature is 10 ° C to 35 ° C, and the humidity is not too big. Especially in the hot summer months, to keep the ambient ventilated using a laptop, as far as possible in air-conditioned rooms. Groove on the computer case and openings for ventilation. In order to ensure that the computer Toshiba PA3534U-1BAS Battery can work reliably and prevent overheating, do not block or cover these openings. Do not place the computer placed in the lap, on the bed or sofa, these are not desirable, soft things vents at the bottom of the laptop are blocked so that the heat of the notebook can not successfully export thus fails. Some books, like something from the backend pad in the bottom of the machine (even with tea bottle cap), so that the underside of the notebook and desktop to keep some space to the bottom of the notebook will not be close to the desktop. So there will be more heat dissipated from the bottom, or you can also add a heat sink base to increase the the notebook bottom of the Merry speed. Also appeared on the market, some cooling of the external equipment, similar to the U disk like a built-in cooling module, but have not even used.Toshiba PA3692U-1BRS Battery

3, close the notebook:

When you’ve completed your work, close the notebook, and try to make your laptop a good rest.

Do not let your laptop open on the bag. Often to clean the air vents, the notebook’s built-in fan has a ventilation openings. After a period of time, the vents will accumulate dust, dust can clog vents.

When necessary you can use the diagnostic tool to test laptop fan is working properly. If you have a special tool, you can also open the fan place and remove dust.

4, upgrade notebook BIOS:

Sometimes, fever means that the computer fan controller need a BIOS upgrade. The new version of the BIOS can make the laptop fan to work more efficiently. If you feel that your laptop is getting hotter and hotter, you may wish to see if the new BIOS provides website.

The notebook Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery cooling is still not perfect, with the function of powerful, greater heat production, this also brings pressure to the cooling system, general notebook with professional software testing, such as weather (room temperature in about 30 degrees) the temperature of the CPU and hard disk also belong to about 60 degrees above normal.
