How long does a HP Mini Netbook work before the battery dies out forever?
Question by Zari: How long does a HP Mini Netbook function before the battery dies out forever?
So I have an HP Mini Netbook I got 6 months ago (November) and I've been making use of it two-3 hours everyday (Computer addict LOL) and I charge it pretty great, so now I wanna know how lengthy it is ahead of my battery dies, charger stops working, and the laptop is fundamentally no use to me anymore. I wanna know simply because I want to switch to Apple, see how it's like with out wasting income. Oh, and if it's critical, my laptop has fell twice.

To clarify, netbook can never perform like a notebook. Netbooks are just for web surfing.
You already dropped your netbook twice & it didn't break, so that indicates it is a sturdy piece.
MacBooks are distinct in the sense that Apple Macintosh runs on Mac OS X in contrast to the WINDOWS 7, Vista or XP OS (Operating System) that most laptops have.
Core i-3, far better than Core two Duo
Core i-five, far better than Core i-three in interactive social networking & creating property videos
Core i-7, better than Core i-five in designing your own website
Just remember these: The 1st thing you need to look for on the personal computer surface is A LOGO STICKER for NVIDIA or ATI MOBILITY RADEON just below the keyboard. This SHOWS that the laptop has A DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD (for AutoCAD & Adobe Photoshop). Diablo III, the game I would really like most to play runs on 3D graphics & is rumored to require at least 1GB GRAPHICS MEMORY (lower graphics memory = More affordable laptop value), so often check the system requirement specs on the game's box (ex. SIMS 3 see if your laptop meets all the requirements). For gamers, double check from the list on this link, make positive the GRAPHICS CARD you get on the laptop IS ONLY from the HIGH END or MIDRANGE list.
Next important aspect is the RAM (memory). If you are in designing & you want to run applications like AutoCAD or softwares for editing pictures & videos, just make positive that the laptop has AT LEAST 2GB DDR2 RAM modules in it (Higher IS Greater DDR3 & DDR5 are faster & newer varieties of memory modules that came out).
But what makes a personal computer really run rapidly? It is it's processor! So if you truly want your processor to have computing prowess & you are in a position to run distinct applications simultaneously, make certain it is AS EFFICIENT AS an Intel Core two Duo Processor (Centrino 2 is a Core two Duo featuring power saving capabilities Quad Core is for gaming fanatics). A Core 2 Duo is like having two motors running the laptop or computer each and every independent of the other w/c means for a Quad Core, it's like 4 motors are running the machine (that means it will run faster & much more efficient even if its frequency is lower to that of a Core 2 Duo). Intel: Core 2 Duo, Centrino 2, Quad Core, Core i-three, Core i-five & Core i-7 are all very significantly faster & far better than an Intel: DUAL CORE, PENTIUM, CELERON, ATOM & their far more inexpensive AMD counterparts. Just make positive you have AT LEAST 2GHz of speed on your processor.
The HDD (Tough Disc Drive) really should be at least 320GB.
The average laptop LCD screen size is 15.four". If you want some thing smaller than that w/ these facts I just shed some light on, anticipate the cost to go higher (ex. for 13.three" & 14.1" LCD screens).
FOR the greatest Prices, go to Fry's Electronics, MicroCenter, CostCo & BestBuy's internet websites for updates & COMPARISON.
FYI: I constantly tell my customers, a laptop's battery is similar to a cell phone's. You charge it when it's depleted & you unplug the adapter when it is already totally charge (this will avoid the battery from getting overcharged & extend the life of the battery). So for much less hassle, I always advice my buyers to just remove the battery if they program to use the pc for long hours straight (a lot more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it & shorten the battery life.
FYI, laptop, as the name itself... nicely, I actually don't use it on my lap b'coz often our leg, the bed cover or some clothing could already be blocking the air vent without our expertise.
Also, if your personal computer is running a lot of applications that indicates that the HDD (Tough Disc Drive) is moving extremely quickly and any minute (tiny) movements of your legs creates vibrations inside (which we wont see from the outside) that causes damage to the HDD discs, and ultimately in a lengthy time (when the harm is too a lot and in some instances the HDD makes a sound) the tough drive will crash. So, if your laptop came with a HDD protection utility, just like what Toshiba and HP has, you can always lower down the sensitivity level to level 2 or 1 but in no way completely disable the protection utility to stop the HDD from obtaining damage from the inside and use the laptop or computer on a stable surface. Now, like what I constantly tell my clients, to always generate a restore point (each and every last day or first day of the month) and make sure that you consistently back-up any critical photos, documents or files from your HDD to a Flash Drive/Thumb Drive or writable DVD±R or an external HDD, so that you will not lose any of these info just in case something poor takes place.
