Lenovo IdeaPad U260 and Samsung SF510-A01 Laptops

(Page 1 of 2 )

This review takes a peak at the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 and the Samsung SF510-A01 ultra portable laptops.
Lenovo's IdeaPad U260 is a 12.5-inch ultra-portable laptop that offers outstanding design but some average performance characteristics.  You pay a premium for its design, as it costs $1,049.  The U260 comes with a standard one-year warranty on parts and labor.



For $1,049, you get the IdeaPad U260 configuration that comes with a 1.33 GHz Intel Core i5-470UM processor.  Do not confuse this particular processor with the regular line of i5's from Intel.  This is an ultra-low-voltage processor that supposedly offers better battery life.  As such, it is a tad sluggish, and not as fast as the standard Intel chips found in other laptops.  You can perform normal tasks like web surfing, document editing, multimedia viewing, and some light gaming, but do not expect exceptional speed.  The U260 also has 4 GB of DDR3 SDRAM for multitasking power.
Graphics on the IdeaPad U260 are supported by an Intel HD Graphics card.  The card will allow you to watch media and play some games, but it is not advanced enough to play more sophisticated games without any issues.  Storage is provided by a 320 GB hard drive, which should be enough space for most users' data.  Despite its use of an ultra-low-voltage processor, the U260's battery life is not all that impressive.  When put under duress, the laptop offers under three hours of usage on its four-cell battery.  Laptops in the ultra-portable class are expected to have more longevity, as they are seen as machines ideal for travel and use on the go.  For the operating system, you get Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit pre-installed.
The feature set on the Lenovo IdeaPad U260 is solid.  It does not have an optical drive, but that is due to the sacrifice in size that the ultra-portable laptop makes.  It does have a 0.3-megapixel webcam and microphone for video chatting.  For fast Internet connections, there is integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi.  Bluetooth is also on board for wireless use with compatible devices.  Surprisingly, there is no card reader on the U260.


The IdeaPad U260's design is extremely impressive, and by far its best aspect.  It's very thin and portable, measuring 12.5 inches wide by 8.1 inches deep by 0.7 inch thick.  The laptop weighs just 3 pounds.  The U260's lid and sides are coated with an attractive Clementine orange finish that makes the laptop stand out from its dull-colored competitors.  The orange accents and lid also mix well with the black interior.  The overall texture of the laptop on the exterior and interior is very pleasing as well, and offers a solid grip while toting it around.  The 12.5-inch display has a rather uncommon size, but it looks great and produces vivid, colorful graphics.  The integrated speakers are decent at best, and struggle to get loud.
The keyboard is spacious and features wide, concave keys.  The keys offer solid bounce and are very comfortable to type on.  The touch pad is a bit small, but does offer good responsiveness.  It also supports multi-touch gestures.  Connectivity is underwhelming on the U260.  The right side of the laptop features a VGA port, an Ethernet port, a HDMI port, and a USB port.  The left side has a headphone jack and a second USB port.  More USB ports would have been nice, as would an eSATA port and a card reader, since the laptop's sides seem to have room for more ports.
The Lenovo IdeaPad U260 has some great features, and some that are not so great.  The lack of battery life is a shame, especially considering the laptop's use of a ULV processor.  Some connectivity is lacking as well.  Still, those looking for an ultra-portable laptop with a superb design should take a strong look at the IdeaPad U260

Keeping Toothbrushes In The Bathroom Is Linked To Dangerous Infections

Specialists warn us that millions of people around the world put their health and well-being to risk by placing their toothbrushes in a close proximity to the lavatory which can be a source of thousands of harmful bacteria. When we flush our toilet, those pathogenic bacteria are sprayed around and land on various surfaces located around, including our toothbrushes. That is why it is dangerous to keep the toothbrushes in an opened container.
The scientists say that after flashing, harmful and lethal bacteria can fly up to six feet away from the lavatory. At that, according to the latest statistics, every second toothbrush is kept in less than 40 inches away from the lavatory. This way, thousands of harmful bacteria is found on such brushes, including Candida, streptococcus, ecoli and staphylococci. This situation requires immediate action for the sake of improving dental health of modern people.
This research was carried out by the specialists at Manchester University and the experts from Lloydspharmacy, the Great Britain. Louise Baglole, Oral Health Expert from Lloydspharmacy comments of the findings of her colleagues as the following: “It’s really quite stomach churning to think about what bacteria are present on toothbrushes.” She asks everyone to place the toothbrushes far away from the lavatory and use special closed containers to store toothbrushes in a safer way.

siapa butuh vitamin?

Iklan dan klaim kesehatan banyak mempengaruhi anda setiap hari dengan janji dapat mencegah penyakit tertentu dan memberikan anda energi instant. Akibatnya banyak suplemen diet yang illegal.
Menurut Medical Essay, sebagian besar orang sehat tidak membutuhkan vitamin dan suplemen. Anda sebaiknya mendapatkan vitamin dan mineral dengan makan pola diet yang seimbang. Penekanan harus difokuskan pada mempelajari mengenai makanan bergiji apa yang sebaiknya dimakan sepanjang hari bukan pada vitamin dan suplemen apa yang dibutuhkan.
Meskipun ada kelompok tertentu yang mungkin harus mengkonsumsi suplemen vitamin dan mineral. Kelompok tersebut antara lain:

*Orang yang berumur 65 tahun atau lebih
Seiring bertambahnya umur, beberapa vitamin yang dibutuhkan tubuh mungkin harus ditingkatkan. Beberapa penelitian mengungkapkan suatu multivitamin dapat memperbaiki fungsi kekebalan dan menurunkan resiko beberapa infeksi.
*Orang yang sedang melakukan pengobatan tertentu
Pengobatan tertentu termasuk antacid, antibiotic, diuretic, laxative, anticonvulsant dan antidepressant dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan tubuh untuk menggunakan vitamin dan mineral. Juga kekurangan sejumlah vitamin dan mineral dapat mempengaruhi pengobatan.
*Orang yang diet ketat
Jika anda makan kurang dari 1000 kalori per hari atau diet anda memiliki keterbatasan akibat alergi, anda dimungkinkan untuk mengkonsumsi vitamin dan suplemen.
*Perokok
Merokok daat menurunkan tingkat vitamin C dalam tubuh. Konsumsi per hari yang dianjurkan bagi perokok adalah 100 mg dibanding 60 mg bagi yang bukan perokok.
*Peminum alkohol di atas rata-rata
Minum alkohol dalam jumlah diatas rata-rata dapat berakibat pada diet yang miskin karena alkohol dapat mempengaruhi penyerapan, metabolisme dan eksresi vitamin.
*Ibu hamil dan menyusui
Wanita yang sedang hamil dan menyusui membutuhkan lebih nutrisi tertentu terutama folic acid, jat besi dan kalsium.
*Kelompok lain yang memiliki resiko tinggi
Seorang vegetarian yang memiliki batasan dalam mengkonsumsi susu dan cahaya matahari mungkin membutuhkan vitamin atau suplemen.
Bagi beberapa orang, mengkonsumsi suplemen multivitamin dalam dosis rendah memiliki sedikit resiko efek samping. Tetapi jangan berpikir “lebih banyak akan lebih baik.” Dosis tinggi beberapa vitamin dan suplemen herbal dapat memiliki efek samping serius.
Tubuh tidak dapat memanfaatkan sebagian besar vitamin dan mineral yang dibutuhkan dan nutrisi ini harus berasal dari makanan atau suplemen. Tetapi ingat, suplemen tidak bisa digantikan. Mereka tidak dapat menggantikan ratusan nutrisi dalam seluruh makanan yang dibutuhkan untuk diet yang seimbang.

5 Tips To Buying Trading Cards

The trading card industry is one of the most popular in all of collectibles. With everything ranging from race used sheet metal to game-used bats and rookie cards of tomorrow’s hottest stars, the manufacturers of trading cards have changed the way people collect. Some time ago, the greatest insert in a wax pack was a stick of bubble gum, but today it’s so much more.

With such popularity comes great wealth, for both manufacturers and collectors, and a few tips to consider when dealing with trading cards will make the hobby not only one of profit, but also of fun.

Condition. When shopping for trading cards, pay close attention to the condition. A mint card is one that is just like new, with sharp corners, no markings or creases. Some companies actually grade trading cards, while others simply let the shopper decide. Trading cards that are in poor condition are noticeable immediately, but ‘good’ and ‘fair’ ratings are open to interpretation.

Authenticity. If you are in the market for trading cards, take special care to learn as much about the hobby as possible. If you are going to spend big bucks on a single card, make sure that you are getting the real deal. A good example is the Michael Jordan rookie card, which was reprinted years ago. It looks so much like the original that even experts have a difficult time distinguishing the original from the reprint. If you are looking for an expensive card, make sure that it is graded by a reputable company and it never hurts to have it checked again after purchase.

Investment. If you are an investor, trading cards may be the hobby for you. It is inexpensive to get started collecting and the future profits can be high. Investors should consider purchasing rookie cards, which will be the first trading card that a rookie player appears on. If the star rises in fame, so will your investment. Additionally, mint condition cards appreciate the most in value.

Reputation & Research. If shopping for trading cards online, especially, find a company that has been in business for awhile. Look for information relating to their return policy, just incase the card isn’t exactly as described. Always be sure to do your research when purchasing trading cards and check the price guides to make sure you are getting a fair deal.

Have fun  Most importantly, have fun when shopping for trading cards. While it is a profitable business venture for some, most importantly it is a hobby and should be enjoyed by all who partake.
