Glassware was the best time I have had so far in the commercial studio…. this friday we get to move to digital which is pretty exciting if you ask me! I will be shooting more and more glassware as the weeks go by.some on film and some on digital.

This week is a pretty busy week for us photography students…We have portrait studio where we just keep adding lights to see what the effects may be, then of course is commercial studio where we will be hooking up our digital backs to 4×5 studio cameras….fun stuff and probably my favorite thing this week will be Aerial Photography although I am a little nervous about being in a small plane that can only hold four people

    INTRO

    What I share with you here is the result of what began as a very personal experience. I hope this may serve as encouragement for those folks who are considering using herbs for general well-being, or as a treatment for an existing or possible ailment. This said, if you are encouraged by my words, then please consult a homeopath or other professional who can provide you with customized guidance on how herbs may help you.

    (While we're at it, be sure to read the legal text at the end of this article).

    HOW I GOT INTO HERBS

    A few years back, and through some interesting circumstances, I had the opportunity to become the caretaker (caregiver?) for a truly amazing person. My friend was an artist, author, teacher, lecturer, mentor, carpenter, craftswoman – at the time I knew her, she even got herself a sheepskin in a top 5 American law school. In this respect she was definitely the female incarnation of a “renaissance man”. She was a force to be reckoned with, yet was the epitome of selflessness and generosity – even in the face of a death that would soon come banging on her door.

    I had accepted a job in my friend's town and moved in with her originally on a temporary basis, until I could find a place of my own to live. Unfortunately, a few days after I moved in, she walked into the house with a look of confounded shock and utter perplexity written all across her face: she had just come back from the doctor's office.

    He diagnosed her with cancer – the kind of news that no-one would wish to come home with.

    After some thought and discussion, we agreed to have me stay on as a caretaker in whatever capacity I could offer. The five years that followed weren't exactly easy for either of us, but it definitely was not without its rewards.

    The stories I could tell from this experience are innumerable, but I want to share just one part for now. Of the many things my friend knew, she had a broad and very practical knowledge of herbs and their healthful and beneficial effects. She used these herbs to help ease her pain and in part as a replacement to those medications which were rendered unavailable to her through the ineptitude of our wonderful medical system (sarcasm there!).

    In time, I became venturesome, and asked for her tutelage on the use of herbs – and there began another chapter in an otherwise interesting time I was to spend with her. These years later I have my friend to thank for the assemblage of herbs I now see sitting in my washroom cupboard.

    I'll share my short-list of these herbs with you, and some reasons why I keep them handy.

    THE LIST OF GOODS

    As a backboard, I depend on a good diet of mostly vegetables, grains, an occasional vitamin, and regular exercise for the good health I enjoy today. For the occasional calamity or general “tweaking” of health, I keep the following herbs handy.

    Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, or C. zeylanicum) – There is some suggestion this may help with type 2 diabetes. I say thanks to AC Content Producer Robritt for introducing this to me. While I have only recently been taking cinnamon as a supplement, I am still uncertain as to whether it's helping reduce my blood sugar level. This said, in all fairness please note that Robbritt's positive experience with cinnamon was something that took place over a relatively long time, and points back to the idea of most herbs having a cumulative effect over a long time. Thus, as the Native American Indians say, “slow medicine”.

    Astragulus (astragulus membranaceus) – This herb is commonly associated with lung health, and through my experience I can attest to this. Because I live in a place still using the backward technology of coal-fired power plants, my home is considered by the American Lung Association to be one of the filthiest places in the US, and thus attributing to its ranking in the top five locations for lung cancer death. Knowing this, I am well motivated to help my lungs out! I use astragulus for that occasional boost. The benefits I feel from this herb are hard to describe in concrete terms, other than to say it seems to lend a feeling of greater “clarity” in my lungs. I take two capsules of dehydrated astragulus and after about one hour, I massage the top edge of my collar bone (an acupressure area associated with the lungs). I wake up the next morning usually able to take deeper breaths, slightly more cleared nasal passages, and I have a general feeling of enhanced well-being.

    Skullcap (scutellaria laterifolia) – This herb is sometimes marketed under other ridiculous monikers (like “scullcap” or “scull cap”) to keep thanatophobic buyers from being scared off. For me, this stuff is awesome. I use it to promote deep, satisfying sleep. This can be used as an alternative to valerian (see my entry on this). I find that waking up and getting going after using skullcap is easier than with valerian.

    Valerian (valeriana officinalis) – Producing an effect similar to skullcap, this is another herb which can be used to promote better and more restful sleep.
    Note: Why keep this second sleep promoter handy? I find for whatever reason that one or the other herb (usually valerian, in sufficient quantity) may take me beyond regular sleep, into a state of profound lucid dreaming. If you're not ready for such an experience, I suggest keeping dosage down to two gel capsules or less.

    Echinacea (usually Echinacea purpurea) – Not much needs to be said about this popular herb and the health-defense benefits it offers. This herb delivers its value not through some observable effect, rather from what you don't see – and what you don't see is the illness you would otherwise have if you don't take it. I usually take an Echinacea capsule once every two weeks, and more often if I feel a cold trying to take hold.

    Acai (also açai or assai of the assai palm tree, euterpe oleracea) -I have already written about this amazing berry. Well, at least amazing for me. At or near the top of the list for highest concentrations of antioxidants, acai juice can yield a wide scope of benefits if taken consistently. The mild chronic joint pain I was experiencing went away within several days after I started drinking acai juice. Some time later, general inflammation (like puffiness under my chin) went down, and I noticed an overall elevation in a sense of well-being and energy, too. All in spite of losing a good job, the recent death of my father, and some other crazy stuff going on.

    Blue-Green Algae (aphanizomenon flos-aquae) – This one is somewhat similar to Echinacea in the sense that it delivers its value not through some observable effect, rather from what you don't see in the form of some illness or sense of well-being that doesn't show up. These little algae guys contain Spirulina, which deliver to you plant enzymes that may help in digestion (thus, the idea that eating a salad along with any meal may help digestion). Additionally, algae contain trace elements and vitamins in a natural form that may not be a part of your regular diet. This said, a similar “herb” one may wish to take is kelp, as this is a water-borne vegetable source bearing trace elements derived from our bountiful oceans. If mom said, “eat your veggies”, this may be your excuse for compliance.

    Kava (also kava-kava or kava root, Piper methysticum) – Got cramps and pain? Hard time doing any decent stretching? While this doesn't directly stop pain for me, it gives me an extremely noticeable edge as a muscle relaxer. After about half an hour in taking this, I am able to stretch muscles and pop joints I normally wouldn't be able to apply any torque to without kava. After doing these stretches successfully, most or all of my pain is gone. Kava can come as a gel inside capsules or as a ground up powder. For me, the gel seems to be stronger. Curiously, there is some documentation purporting that kava works even better when ingested with a food providing a little fat content. This fat can come from cow's milk, coconut milk, or even soy milk.

    Liver cleansing mix (I buy the Liver Renew™ brand) – This blend is great stuff. A surprising mix of many herbs, about 18 by my count, these herbs comprise a wide spectrum of powerful factors that can really help cleanse your liver and other parts of your body than if you never used them. For me, I take them with some caution, not out of fear or because they harm me. Rather this blend simply works really well. See my comments below on “Subtle or Powerful?”

    Mushroom mix (called Host Defense© by New Chapter Organics) – This one is another “Wow!” for me. How I ran across this was a humorous story, too. Gotta tell ya. A few years back I had a lump on my back that caused me some concern. I walked into a health food store one day, told the lady behind the counter what my worry was. She looked at me like I was some fool and suddenly said with a loud New York accent, “So ya wanna shrink a tumor, eh?” I almost burst out laughing at her shocking response. She might as well should have sported a bee-hive hairdo, cat's eye glasses, and been chomping a tired wad of gum. But she apparently knew her stuff. She walked with me to the counter and pulled out a mushroom blend, and I have been thankful ever since. In a couple weeks the lump (I suppose it was a cyst) was gone. The Host Defense blend apparently works through a broad-spectrum approach much like the Liver Renew mix. The bottle of Host Defense I have contains 17 different mushrooms and herbs.

    HEY! SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH US!

    I expect some readers will chastise me for what they may consider inaccuracies or misinformation in my testimony. That's fine. I make this clear now: these words are not pro advice, but are at most merely encouragement.

    This said, if you feel you are an expert on herbs, sign up as an AC Content Producer and get your advice published for free!

    WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

    That's it for now. But… I am writing a separate article called Tips When Using Herbs, which will discuss some when-and-how advice, and a few other things to consider for using herbs.

    I hope this has been interesting, encouraging even…

    Great health to you!

    Acai berries are native to South America, specifically in the rainforests of Brazil. They need an ample amount of heat and moisture so they can mature and be harvested. Once they are picked from the palm trees where they grow from, they must be processed within a day’s time so their high nutritional value can be retained. These simply means that you should check if you have a fresh bottle of acai berry supplements or you will just not get the results you were looking forward to.

    An acai berry diet is simply one that includes the intake of acai berry supplements along with the strict observance of a well-balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are wondering how does acai berry diet work, it starts with the acai berries as supplements to an already healthy diet and lifestyle.

    You will also need to precisely follow the dosage instructions that come with every acai berry supplement. Remember that acai berries are only supplements and they should not replace a full meal. If you are not comfortable having your dose acai berry in pill form, you can also add them into your diet as powder mixed with your preferred beverage.

    Like many other dietary supplements, one should not take acai berry pills and powder in excess. One should follow the recommended dose of this kind of supplement to experience best results. To keep yourself from wondering how does acai berry diet work, you must do your own little research before you jump into this kind of diet plan.

    Averatec 12.1″ 2371 PC Laptop Review

    May 24th, 2010 No Comments

    HP Laptop bestellen

    What are your computer woes? Is it so ancient that you can only run Windows 3.1? What about the age old excuse of, “Its just acting slow.”? How about failing hardware? Do you need to upgrade because your computer can not run the latest software? Or is it that your cup-holder is broken again? Any way it goes, you want a new computer, and you want to go mobile like everyone else. This strange world of mobile computers may intimidate you at first but you will soon find that there are few differences in buying a laptop or a desktop. The following are the top 10 question you should ask yourself before researching and buying your new laptop:

    10. Your budget is probably the biggest consideration, and can be the deciding factor on what extra options, if any, you will get. After you decide on a budget then look at what laptops can fit your needs and price around. A little phrase to consider is that spending a little extra now will save you a LOT of headaches later. With today’s technology prices putting down a $2000 budget will make you extremely happy and you will probably have money left over. You will also find that the price of a laptop is very close to being the same as a desktop with the same specs when you include an lcd monitor.

    9. What are your needs out of a laptop computer? Everybody likes to surf the net, check e-mail, do word processing, and at least the occasional song and picture, and pretty much all new computers can do all that. Some just do it faster than others.

    One extra thing you will want to consider is video games. Today’s games can take a serious toll on computers resources in order to perform well. You will need a little extra depending on the game you want. The easiest thing to do is look at the box the game came in, and read the “recommended” requirements. Then base your computer from that. A little faster wouldn’t hurt either.

    Video is another heavy option. If you like to store a lot of movies and TV shows you downloaded then you will need a bigger hard drive and a better video card. Everybody has said that they will just put it on disk after they watch it or download it to save space, but you know as well as I do that you don’t want a billion disks to sift through and don’t want to wait on load times. I’ll explore more on storage later.

    Do you travel a lot, or in school? This will affect many choices in options with the laptop. In other words: How mobile do you want to be? That brings me to number eight:

    8. Size. Wow, there are a lot of different sizes out there! How do you choose? First, if you want to be really mobile then you would probably prefer a smaller screen. This will affect the overall size and weight of the laptop. The screen size will also affect the battery life you will get out of one charge. Usually a 14.1” screen or smaller is consider small. Or, if you are looking for a desktop replacement that you can occasionally take around the house or even less out of the house, then you might consider a bigger screen. These screens put out 17” of video love and most come with those lovely number-pads to the right of the keyboard. A 17” screen compared to a 14.1” screen is obviously heavier and use up more battery life, but you will be plugged in to an outlet almost all the time and what is a pound or two extra. A happy medium is a 15” or a 15.4” if you want a widescreen.

    Thickness will also affect the weight of your laptop. Getting an ultra thin laptop is cool. Just remember that with all that breathing room gone your cool laptop can get hot fast.

    7. Some people don’t care about what brand they get, and consider that a computer is a computer. While that may be truer with desktops, laptops are a little more crucial about what brand you get. If your happy and satisfied with computer by a certain company, by all means stay with that company, and remove all doubt in your mind that if your computer messes up it wasn’t because you got a different brand. FYI: all brands of all computers have problems, some brands just have more.

    This part is a little more difficult to write without being biased, but I will attempt. Take my opinion for what you will, but I have worked with computers for many years and even sold computers at a certain technology store.

    That being said, picking a brand of laptop is like picking a brand of automobile. No matter what brand of car you get, you can always get a fast engine under the hood. Some brands of cars are just better built and perform longer because of the quality. Most people would consider an average quality brand of car as being Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Toyota, etc… A better quality car you would probably be Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc…Comparatively, average brand of laptop would be Gateway, Dell, HP, Compaq, Acer, e-Machines, and the better side of laptops is Toshiba, Sony, IBM-Lenovo, and Alienware. But remember the better quality comes at a price.

    6. The first step in choosing speed is the processor. There are a few factors to consider in a processor. First is, do I want Intel or AMD? At this point in technology Intel has the best processor for a laptop called the Core 2 Duo. It is a little more pricy but from what rumor mills say, I expect it to go down by the end of the year. There is absolutely nothing wrong with an AMD processor, they will soon come out with a competing processor.

    Next you will want to consider raw speed. This is usually measured in Gigahertz. (abbreviated GHz) The bigger the number, the faster the processor is. Also, bus speed is very important in speed of a computer. This is probably one of the biggest factors and the most overlooked. Bus speed is how fast the computer’s components can communicate with each other. A lower bus speed will cause a bottleneck in the flow of information and will cause your computer slow down. A low bus speed is the leading cause of slow computers. The easiest way to not get a slow bus speed is choosing the correct model of processor. In the Intel brand a Celeron processor has the lower bus speed and respectively for AMD the Sempron is slower. If you are on a strict budget, you will probably consider going to one of those slower processor models. But, if you must get anything extra, bus speed is the first to consider.

    Recently another factor has appeared, Dual-Core. Dual-Core means that the processor has two processing lines, and that means it can now process two things simultaneously, and double the power of the processor without taking up extra power from the battery. Single core processors are being phased out so they are a bit cheaper.

    5. The second factor in speed is memory. Memory is a temporary place for your computer to store commonly used data from the hard drive. A lack in memory can severely affect the computer’s speed. Memory is measured in Megabytes (MB) and Gigabytes (GB). As a unit of measure I will inform you that 1 GB = 1000 MB. Today’s recommended amount of memory is at least 1 GB. This is especially recommended if you want to upgrade your Windows from XP to Vista when it comes out. You can get 512 MB and work with Windows XP easily, but never get a computer with only 256 MB unless you plan on upgrading the memory.

    4. The hard drive is another speed factor of your computer. How does the storage device affect the speed of the computer? The hard drive is essentially the slowest component in your computer. This is especially apparent in laptops. The hard drive being slow is the whole reason for memory in the first place.

    Each hard drive has disks inside that spin at a certain speed. And how fast they spin determines how fast they can access information. Essentially, if you speed up the hard drive, you have sped up the whole computer. There are only a few speeds of hard drives to remember, and hard drive speed is measured in Rotations per Minute (rpm). The speeds are 4200rpm, 5400rpm, 7200rpm, and 10,000rpm. I am not aware of a laptop that has the 10,000rpm hard drive, and the 7200rpm is rare and expensive in laptops. The rpm of the drive is the second thing to consider in speed if your budget allows.

    Size of the hard drive does not affect speed much but does play an important part in how many programs, songs, videos, etc you can store on the computer. Like memory the hard drive size is measured in Gigabytes (GB). You may ask, “How do I determine how much space I need?” There is no formula to determine an exact number. You will just have to do a little predicting. Keep in mind that the average song is 4MB, the average picture on a 6 mega pixel camera takes up 4MB, and the average movie is 3 to 4 GB. That is about 250 songs or pictures per GB. If you plan on storing either of these on your computer you will have to allocate that much space on the hard drive, and when your drive is full you will have to delete something to put something else on. You can always burn your media to a CD or DVD to free up space. But, as I said earlier, “Do you really want to go through that?” The average person will not fill up 80GB. Also, if you need extra space you could buy an external hard drive.

    3. Do you want to be able to watch a DVD on your laptop, or do you want to go as far as to be able to backup your DVDs to another disk in case they scratched? Most all laptops come with at least a CD writer\DVD reader drive standard. If you want to be able to copy DVDs or make your own, you will have to opt for DVD writer drive.

    The drives speeds are measured in “X” otherwise known as times. In other words 1X is real time, (the speed as if you were watching the DVD or listening to the CD.) and 2X is twice as fast as real time. Currently the maximum speed for burning a DVD is 16X and a CD is 52X.

    2. The warranty is a very important feature and can be the most expensive option to get. Every laptop should come with 1 year warranty from the manufacturer covering only defective equipment. Every major manufacturer and even the retail stores offer extra protection ranging from extending the manufacturer’s warranty to covering any accidents you may have. Since most defective equipment shows itself after the first year, extending the basic warranty is highly recommended. If you want to cover wear and tear or are clumsy you might want to consider getting the complete coverage warranty, so in case you drop the laptop and the screen cracks it will be fixed free of charge. These repairs can cost more than the laptop. If that is the case, most warranties will just give you a brand new laptop. (Free upgrade!) Before getting any extended warranty review the terms and conditions so you know what they cover and what you will be paying for that coverage. Remember, Insurance is us;ess until you need it. Then it is priceless!

    1. Connections can be time and money saver if you have the right ports. USB devices are multiplying rapidly. Printers, mice, flash drives, hard drives, digital cameras, and many other things come with the USB interface. So, make sure you have plenty of USB ports so you don’t have to buy an USB hub.

    If you want to hook your laptop to a TV so you can watch a movie or slide show contained on your hard drive you will want an s-video port. If you have a digital camcorder, look to see if it uses USB or Firewire as the computer interface.

    For your internet purposes look at the network and modem ports. The modem is a normal looking phone jack. The modem will allow you to use dial-up service. If you have high speed internet you will need a network port. It looks like a wide phone jack. Also becoming standard built in is a wireless network card. This will allow you to log on to a wireless network (when you are in range and if you have one). Home, work, coffee shops, college campuses, and hotels are the most common places to find a wireless network.

    Very Fast & Very Stylish
    “Let me start by saying that I use my computer for much more than average daily use. I record multi track audio (i.e. home studio), as well as average daily tasks. I also work in a place that is very much pro Mac/anti PC. That’s okay, I’m not biased either way, you just get more horsepower for your money with PC.

    I downsized from my desktop system which was a Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM on XP Pro. It was working, but I needed more horsepower (i.e. faster processor and more RAM), and I also figured a laptop that could suit my home studio needs would be perfect because I could then be mobile as well.

    A lot of research went into purchasing a laptop. I left no stone unturned, and looked at ALL the models, up to a certain price range (under $1000), even models with lesser specs in certain areas than this one.

    After much research, I decided this has everything I need. I’ve had it about three weeks now, and it’s a great machine. Even some of my coworkers who prefer Macs said it’s a nice laptop, and we all know computers where I work. After seeing the specs and the pricetag on this, they agreed that I did well.

    My only gripe about it is that because it’s a Vaio, it comes with TONS of extra Vaio software (as well as other trial software, and other programs that I have no use for). Three weeks later, I’m still experimenting with which Vaio software I should and should not uninstall. Some Vaio programs are necessary to operate things like the function keys, where others are not necessary. I will not post a list here, but search out the individual programs and make your own decision. Other than that, this thing ROCKS!!! Nice clear graphics, fast processor, good RAM (I plan to expand mine up to the allowable 8GB though), and totally KILLS my old Core 2 Duo machine. I was able to pull up sessions from my external hard drive after installing my recording software, and sessions that would nearly max out my Core 2 Duo machine barely had this computer running at 50% system resources. Beautiful, just what I needed. The hyper threading on the new Core i series is amazing.

    I bought an e-SATA express card to use with the card slot to stream my external hard drive, I run an audio interface off the firewire port, and an iLok. I’m also going to purchase a firewire express card with a Texas Instrument chipset in it to see which transfer rate is better between the e-SATA card and the FW card (it ’should’ be the e-SATA, but I’m still going to try it). I also plan on purchasing a wireless mouse, full size keyboard, and 22″ monitor, so basically this laptop will sit off to the side as I record, mix, and edit audio. This is everything I need at the moment, and is working out as an audio computer as good or better than I thought. I highly recommend it. Oh, and regarding the Vaio software – for the average user, most of it is actually pretty cool, I just like to run my machine as clean and lean as possible so that most of it’s resources are available when it comes time to lay down audio tracks.”

    My favorite new thing in the world
    Something to remember when reading any review, most people who are happy with their product don’t write reviews. People who like to leave reviews write reviews and people who are VERY VERY unhappy write reviews, so just always be aware of the biased.

    I love this computer with every bit of my heart. I’m not a gamer so I dont have issues with it not being us to gaming snuff. I mostly use the internet to surf and microsoft office and countless chatting programs. Someone at one point said the screen was so shinny that any light source makes it completely useless, I don’t seem to have this problem because I’ve been using it everyday and have never been blinded by light. The unit is lighter weight than my 15.5inch dell insipron (disaster computer) that is currently being replaced with this model. Someone else bitched about getting a blue screen of death, which I have yet to see after two weeks (they claimed it happened within the first hour). Another person said there was difficulty connecting a Bluetooth mouse, which I agreed with, as I just connected my mouse after about 30 minutes of struggling with it. However, it was finally connected after a 5 minute chat with Sony technical support, so it was more user error than computer. There not web button on mine, instead there is an assist button. When I clicked it I was prompted to start up in safe mode, so I am assuming that the assist button would be useful if you computer crashes. The i3 processor is crazy fast, as is windows 7. I really had no problem with vista and decided that everyone hated it because they were told to hate it, but windows 7 is quite amazing. It runs faster, extremely user/idiot friendly. The keyboard is really nice too, I was kind of nervous about this because the keys are all spaced out, unlike normal keyboards where all the buttons are tapered and adjacent to one another, but its actually really comfortable to type on. One draw back is that earlier models (before the i3 processor came out) were bluray players as well, which they took away probably because it was just too good of a computer for the $800 price tag. The speakers are a little lame, but its a laptop and I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of them to begin with as long as they make noise that I can hear when I need to hear it I’m happy. Something else I like is that it has an optical drive. I know this seems like a trival thing but some of the other computer is the same class as this one have removed CD/DVD drives all together which a major deal breaker for me! Someone else complained that there are no shortcut buttons for volume control…really? How lazy are you that you can’t hit “fn” F2 for mute? It one extra button, and the shortcut buttons on the dell never really worked well for me anyway.

    For those of you looking at dells at well let me tell you that I built this EXACT same computer on Dells website and it was going to cost at least $100 bucks more which seems like highway robbery to me.

    Something to be aware of, apparently new computers do not come with recovery disks anymore. So they highly encourage you to go out, buy a blank DVD, and create a recovery disk pretty much RIGHT out of the box.

    Hope this review helps!!!

    Everything was OK BUT after 2 days of use noticed cant connect to wi fi due a hardware issue
    Its just a beautiful laptop but iam very dissapointed of it because came with a hardware or system defect and sony service couldnt help to solve it so i had to return it. The problem consist that every time i tryed to connect to wifi windows said it couldnt and just after that present a blue screen with IRQL LESS OR EQUAL ERROR and reboot my pc. I tryed hard to find a cause with sony custumer care and technical service but nothing worked.

    Hope to be more lucky next time..

    Tips for Upgrading Your Toshiba Laptop Drives

    May 19th, 2010 No Comments

    Sony Vaio Thailand Laptop Ad by 800HighTech

    Bosch GS GSP 26A31

    If you find it difficult deciding between purchasing a Toshiba laptop (or notebook) and a Hewlett-Packard one, two of the highest quality laptop brands, then knowing about just a few of their essential features and accompanying services may alleviate the difficulty.

    Types
    According to its company website, Toshiba categorizes its laptops into types called “families.” Each of its six families is given a name: Satellite; Satellite Pro; Tecra; Qosmio; Portege; Mini Notebook.

    According to its store website, Hewlett-Packard (HP) categorizes its laptops by either usage or a characteristic of some kind. One or the other is reflected in the names of each of HP's laptop types: Everyday Computing; High Performance; Ultra-Portable; Mini; Envy.

    Screen Sizes
    As shown in their company websites, Toshiba's and HP's laptop screen sizes vary depending on the type and models within it. Both companies' websites show that the sizes are based on the diagonal length between a top corner of a screen and a bottom one. Toshiba's screen sizes are in the following ranges: Satellite—11.6 inches to 18.4 inches; Satellite Pro—13.3 to 17.3 inches; Tecra—14.1 and 15.4 inches; Qosmio—18.4 inches; Portege—12.1 inches; Mini Notebook—10.1 inches.

    These are the size ranges for HP's laptop screens: Everyday Computing—15.6 to 17.3 inches; High Performance—15.6 to 18.4 inches; Ultra-Portable—12.1 to 14.1 inches; Mini—10.1 and 11.6 inches; Envy—13.1 and 15.6 inches.

    Operating Systems
    As indicated in their websites, Toshiba's and HP's laptops include a version of the Windows operating system. Toshiba's Satellite, Qosmio, and Mini Notebook laptops come with Windows 7. Satellite Pro laptops come with a choice of 7 and/or Windows XP. Tecra laptops come with XP, while Portege ones come with a choice of XP or Windows Vista.

    The Windows versions for HP's laptops are Windows 7 for the Everyday Computing, High Performance and Envy models, and 7 and/or XP for the Ultra-Portable and Mini laptops.

    Eco-Awareness
    As its website shows, many of Toshiba's laptops have earned EPEAT Gold award status for their eco-friendliness. It is also indicated on the Mini Notebook NB200 page of the site, that all of Toshiba's models are built in an ecologically mindful manner.

    According to its website, HP also manufactures its laptops through environmentally efficient means. However, HP tends to emphasize energy efficiency in particular; nearly all of HP's laptop models are “Energy Star” qualified. The exception to this is the Envy 15 series as indicated in the series' specifications section.

    Company-to-Customer Service
    Toshiba offers predetermined recommendations based on customers' needs in the “Top Laptop Picks” section of its website. HP offers laptop recommendations through a multiple choice quiz presented to the customer on the “Help Me Choose a Laptop” page. After the customer answers the questions that determine her needs, she is shown the recommendations.

    Customer-to-Customer Service
    Toshiba's website offers a question-and-answer tool for customers to ask and answer each other's laptop questions. A laptop customer support forum is also available. Customers' comments on their experiences with the company's laptops are quoted in “Top Laptop Picks”.

    HP's customer support forum includes a laptop discussion board. The company's online store offers a “Customer Reviews” section for each model series which consists of comments and star ratings.

    Prices
    As of 2009, Toshiba shows on its website its laptops to range from $399.99 to 3,499.99, whereas HP shows on its site laptops ranging from $299.99 to 2,299.99.

    Toshiba Satellite A505-S6004 TruBrite 16.0-Inch Laptop (Black/Silver)

    After several months researching various options available at Amazon.com I decided to stick with Toshiba. A friend of mine had seriously recommended that I should buy an Acer, but the more I researched the more I was impressed with Toshiba, especially in terms of reliability. Since my own experience with Toshiba was so positive once I had decided to stick with the brand I knew, it was a matter of which one. My reason for buying a new one was that I’d had my Toshiba Satellite since 2003 or 2004 — can’t remember which and technology had definitely moved on. But that machine is still working, all be it slow.

    Well, I have not regretted my decision at all. Many of the negatives reported by other reviews I have found not faults at all. The keyboard, for example is not too loud for me — in fact it is perfect for my touch. One thing that does drive me nuts is the touchpad: when I am surfing it is so sensitive that it keeps scrolling down the page and back up again at what seems like warp speed. (I think somebody in the reviews may have found out how to fix this, so I much look and see if I can find it.)This machine boots up so fast — quite an improvement that the 10 to 15 minutes it took my old machine!

    Back to deciding which one to go with. Initially, I planned to go with a 15.6 inch screen — mainly because that was what I was used to and also because there were some really good deals price-wise. However, I couldn’t find one in the price range with 4 USB ports and I also wanted an HDMI port. It still amazes me what I can get for around $700 considering I paid $1200 for my old and antiquated machine. The computer looks beautiful, but fingerprints are an annoying problem. Also it’s lighter than my old laptop, which is a pleasant surprise.

    I’ve had the machine since April 10th so I am still on a learning curve as how things work and what I can do. But so far it’s all worked like magic. I’ve talked to my son on Skype and he lives in Korea. Some people have complained about the quality of the webcam and my son has told me on one occasion that the picture was not that great and then the next time that it was really clear! My son in Italy said it was great. So what can I tell you — is it the Internet connection or is it the camera. I really like having it and it’s worked seamlessly. And it’s absolutely true that the wireless connection works right out of the box. I often download tv programs that I’ve missed and the quality of the picture is as if watching the tv. I should add that I’m American and had the machine delivered to my mother’s, but I live in the UK and have been using it here since the end of April. No problems have arisen as a result of being in a different country.

    I am going to have to replace a lot of software, which is an expensive negative. I’ve used Microsoft Office Professional 2000 for years and Adobe 5 and Paint Shop Pro 9 — all will have to be replaced. However, I am experimenting with Open Office software which is free and so far has been great. Having said that I am using the trial version of Office Professional 2007 mostly because I really needed Outlook. So the question is will I just buy Outlook and go with Open Office.

    I do like Windows 7, the software that comes with the computer has been adequate so far. I use the movie maker software a lot and was pleased that it could improve the quality of some of my little homemade videos — the kind you can make with either a cell phone or digital camera. Also a nice little scanning/faxing program that has made it very easy for me to scan and email. I was able to make a DVD of some photographs for my husband, but was not able to figure out how to find/use the lable/flash program that I thought was part of the package — the one that is supposed to print directly onto the disc.

    Glad to say my old 2179 HP printer was no problem to install and works perfectly. I was sure I would have to get a new one so that was a nice surprise.

    All in all, with 6 weeks ownership in hand I am thrilled with this laptop.
