Toshiba Satellite l555 Battery

You can also pay extra when you order to double the little laptop’s RAM or add up to 512GB of speedier storage — or you can add an SSD on your own. There’s even an access panel on the bottom of the MiniBook to make storage upgrades easy.The Chuwi MiniBook prototype featured in this article is pretty similar to the entry-level model. Since this is a pre-release device, I’m calling this a preview rather than a full-fledged review. But after having spent a few weeks with the Chuwi MiniBook, I’m pretty impressed.
Mini-laptops aren’t for everyone. But if you’ve been put off by the high prices of other devices in this category, the Chuwi MiniBook might be worth considering.When I first saw pictures of the upcoming Chuwi MiniBook, I figured it looked like a One Mix Yoga or GPD Pocket clone. And at first glance, that’s a pretty fair assessment.
What you’re looking at is a computer with an 8 inch touchscreen display that’s almost small enough to slide into a pocket. Weighing just about 1.5 pounds, it’s a portable device that you might be willing to take places you might not normally take a laptop. Or you can just use it around the house.Since it’s a convertible tablet-style device, you can comfortably flip the screen around use as a handheld device for reading websites, digital books, or for watching videos or playing touchscreen games.
Switch to laptop mode and you can place the MiniBook on a table or on your lap and use it to compose or edit documents, play PC games, or do just about anything else you’d use a laptop for.Like other laptops with screens smaller than 9 inches though, there’s not really enough room for a full-sized keyboard. So Chuwi borrowed liberally from GPD and One Netbook’s designs and dropped a few keys, shrunk and/or moved some others, and combined a few.
The result is a computer that I can touch-type on… but it takes a little longer than it should to enter punctuation or hunt out special function keys.Chuwi also placed an optical touch sensor in the middle of a split space bar rather than using a touchpad. It’s serviceable for moving a mouse pointer, but it’s a little less precise than a normal mouse or touchpad.
The biggest down-side to this style of device is that it can be tough to fit a lot of content on an 8 inch display, which can make multitasking a littler tricky.HP has announced that it is expanding a list of potentially unsafe lithium-ion batteries in the company’s laptops and workstations. About 150,000 devices are affected, and the company is advising consumers to get the batteries replaced because of a risk of fire.
This expands a roster of products listed in an HP recall of laptop batteries in January 2018. Consumers should run HP’s Validation Utility software to determine whether their battery was included in the original recall or HP’s newly announced, larger group of batteries.If the battery does need to be replaced, users should install an update that will put the device in Battery Safety Mode, which will discharge the battery and prevent it from being charged until it’s replaced. This update will allow consumers to continue using the computers safely with an AC power source while they wait for a new battery.
Because the batteries in many affected models are not user-replaceable, HP will send a technician to the consumer’s location (PDF) to install the replacement.“These batteries have the potential to overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard to customers,” the company said in a statement. “For this reason, it is essential to recheck your battery, even if you did so previously and were informed that it was not affected.” The company added that if you have already received a replacement battery, you are not affected by the expanded recall.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which coordinates product recalls, could not be reached because of the partial government shutdown Devices affected: Batteries affected by this program may have been shipped with HP ProBook 64x (G2 and G3), HP ProBook 65x (G2 and G3), HP ProBook 4xx G4 (430, 440, 450, 455, and 470), HP x360 310 G2, HP Envy M6, HP Pavilion x360, and HP 11 notebook computers, and HP ZBook (17 G3, 17 G4, and Studio G3) mobile workstations sold worldwide from December 2015 through April 2018. This list includes models from last year’s recall.
