Well, well -- what's this? We just got our hands on what looks like an internal HP Slate presentation given to cool down some of the iPad hype amongst HP employees, and it just happens to have specs and pricing details on the elusive Windows 7 tablet. As we'd heard, the Slate will run $549 in its base configuration, which has a 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 capacitive multitouch display, a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor with UMA graphics and an accelerator for 1080p video playback (we're assuming it's a Broadcom Crystal HD chip), 32GB of flash storage and 1GB of non-upgradeable RAM. There's also a $599 version with 64GB of storage, and both models will have a five-hour battery, an SDHC slot, two camera, a USB port, a SIM card slot for the optional 3G modem, and a dock connector for power, audio, and HDMI out. Of course, what this spec list doesn't cover is software, and we still haven't seen much of how HP plans to make Windows 7 on a full slate device with netbook-class internals perform as smoothly or as intuitively as its demo videos. That's not a small challenge, especially since the iPad is out now and setting some pretty high expectations for how this new breed of tablets should work. We've got our fingers crossed -- show us something good, HP.

Why Executives HATE Social Media

621tweets TOP100 retweet

I’m an executive and I HATE social media. There, I said it. It’s finally “out there.” But before you Twitter a flaming flash mob link to assemble pitchfork-wielding Second Life villagers outside my door, I urge you to take a deep breath, put down your double frappuccino, remove your earpiece, step away from your iPad, and set your iPhasers to stun, for I come in peace.

Laptops with the best battery life | Crave - CNET

Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820T-3697 14-Inch Laptop (11.5 Hours Battery Life)

This model comes with an Intel Core i5-450M 2.4Ghz processor, a 500GB hard drive and 4GB of DDR3 RAM. For graphics and multimedia playback, this laptop has a 14-inch HD wide-screen, Intel HD graphics and a set of excellent stereo speakers. The audio on this machine comes with 3rd generation Dolby Theater technology.

Some of the other features on this laptop includes an 8x DVD drive, Bluetooth connectivity, 802.11b.g.n wi-fi, a memory card reader, multi-touch track-pad, HDMI output and a 1.3MP web cam. It runs on the Windows 7 Home Premium OS. The 9-cell battery on this laptop can last up to 11.5 hours on one charge, which is astounding for a 14-inch laptop.

Long Battery Life Laptops (Feb 2010)

Most of the notebooks with long battery life are ultra-slim laptops. Other than Apple MacBook laptops (their battery can last up to 7 hours), there are very few full-featured laptops with good battery life. Apple MacBook laptops make use of lithium-polymer batteries (as opposed to the common lithium ion).

Ultra-slim notebooks on the other hand were able to have great battery life spans thanks to their energy efficient processors. At the moment Asus, Toshiba and Acer are the leading brands (Windows based) when it comes to long battery lifespan. The other major laptop brands don't seem too interested in producing such models.
