XP deadline will spend the remaining year Win8 limited time offer to business users

Beijing time on April 9, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft will limit SMEs provide 15% discount Price buy Windows 8 and Office 2013, to attract them to give up the Windows XP. After a whole year, Microsoft will abandon Windows XP support, including paid and free.

Many companies are still using the operating system Windows XP this has been around for 12 years. The latest data released by market research firm Net Applications, Windows 7 occupies 44.7% market share of the desktop operating system, Windows XP market share of 38.7%, Windows Vista market share of 5%, only 3.2% of the Windows market share.

Microsoft's current promotional activities for small and medium-sized enterprises are still using Windows XP, and want to make them to be upgraded before the formal end of Windows XP support in April 8, 2014. April 8 to June 30, according to Microsoft's promotional activities, small and medium-sized business users of Windows XP Professional Edition, upgrade to Windows 8 Professional Edition and Office 2013 Standard Edition price 15% discount.

Upgrade the user can be ordered through the Microsoft Open License. Open License website, Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Edition pricing is $ 188, Office 2013 Standard Edition is priced at $ 373, and a total price of $ 561. In accordance with the 15% discount calculation, the price is $ 477, saving $ 84.

Microsoft is also called for in the blog are still using Windows XP users concerned about the safety and function. Irving Wiesel (Erwin Visser), senior director of Microsoft's Windows division, said in a blog: "Despite the termination of the Windows XP support as well as a year, but the upgrade will take some time, may exceed the time of Windows XP support, thereby your business at risk. rapidly changing field of security, new threats emerge every day, enterprises should deploy next-generation Windows platform, the protection of data and intellectual property, and respond to security threats. "

Enterprises except after April 8, 2014, Microsoft will no longer provide Windows XP security patches, but to buy a custom support plan. But Microsoft has increased dramatically the price of these plans, the companies said retired Windows XP, 5000 sets of Windows XP systems support fees for the first year up to $ 1 million, the second annual support fee of two million U.S. dollars, the third year of support costs 5,000,000 dollars.

Surface Pro this to where? Solve battery life and other issues is fundamental

February 17, Microsoft recently formally consumer-oriented launched Surface Pro Tablet PC, compared with October last year, the Surface RT, Surface Pro built-in the full version of Windows 8 operating system, equipped with a performance more outstanding Intel i5 processor, you can run all current desktop applications and games, can be said that the Windows RT operating system, and can only run Windows Store Application Surface RT upgraded version. However, with the configuration and system upgrades, Surface Pro in weight and thickness corresponding increase and Surface Pro Surface RT even from the looks of it only from the external keyboard and stand up to distinguish. Windows 8 devices can be compatible with a common application tablet PCs and traditional notebook combo actually facing what the fate of it?
Microsoft launched Windows 8 operating system, aimed at the desktop, laptop and tablet PC models system the unified support touch interface and a traditional desktop applications can be run across two areas of the tablet and the computer, the two clever combination. Surface RT position became Microsoft has excellent battery life, and to meet consumers into the entertainment needs of the office most of the Tablet PC; Surface Pro is more like a "beast", "we can see it as it is a computer with a strong performance of high-end laptop. "Microsoft Surface of conference to describe Surface Pro. Surface Pro as a Tablet PC and notebook is both products is, indeed, pay some small price.
Line to the performance of the traditional notebook Microsoft Surface Pro obviously made a compromise, the biggest regret is that the battery life of the Surface Pro and use angle Surface Pro problems. How bad battery life I believe that everyone has some understanding from the evaluation and the actual use of the online users Surface Pro as a notebook, either on his knees or an ordinary desk, Surface Pro use some unstable and not comfortable to use, such a thing would never happen in the body of the traditional notebook products.
Some people view the Surface Pro MacBook and iPad comparison, although of Surface Pro and Apple products are some similarities, but after all Surface Pro neither MacBook, nor is the iPad. Gartner technology analyst Michael Gartenberg Surface Pro up in some ways can be said that the mixture of the Tablet PC and laptop. Surface Pro perfect creative interpretation of the combination of the Tablet PC and notebook, to allow consumers to only use a single device to be able to experience the use of two different feel. However, for other traditional notebook manufacturers are not in the form of this combo showed a lot of enthusiasm, we currently do not determine the route to go in Surface Pro is the correct choice.
Microsoft's intention is to want a device to replace the combination of notebook and tablet PCs, but most people really do not quite willing to spend $ 1,000 (about 6200 yuan) to buy a Tablet PC, although Surface Pro can run common desktop applications, but must pass through from the point of view of the pure, Surface Pro with traditional notebook there are still a considerable gap. IPad has just come out when there is a considerable part of the iPad is not optimistic that the iPad is just a huge iPod touch ", but later facts show that the the iPad success or confirms the huge market potential of the Tablet PC. With the iPad, Surface Pro can now be called is a new device, and is no longer just an ordinary tablet PC. The current view of Microsoft's "Combo" strategy or market demand, but the view from its infancy, considerable Surface Pro impact in the industry, but the situation is not optimistic sales. For iPad consumers and not the so-called "iPad RT" and "iPad Pro" choice for Microsoft Surface Pro is the most urgent problem is, we must allow consumers to ascertain Surface RT The Surface Pro what difference.
Although other OEM manufacturers also try similar production and Surface Pro equipment, but also did not a can perfect alternative to traditional notebook and Tablet PC products was born. Products on the market are usually just ordinary touch Tablet PC external keyboard and make them look like a laptop. But Microsoft has recently started to show, Surface Pro is just a start, Microsoft has begun to develop the next generation of Surface Pro. Microsoft Surface departments responsible for Panos Panay recently said in an interview with ABC television, the next generation of Surface Pro has improved adjustable bracket and battery problems, is an exciting choice. Microsoft in China to establish a production line, also said Microsoft will increase its production scale, fully prepared for the next generation of Surface products.

The Graphene "Enter" Solar Cells

Recently, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed a new method for flexible graphene sheets coated nanowires. This method can be produced for a low-cost, transparent, and good flexibility of the solar cell Asus A32-F82 Battery, it is possible in the windows, roofs and other surfaces used.

This latest study, published in "Nano Letters, co-authored by postdoctoral Park comet MIT and Zhang Sheng root (phonetic), an associate professor of materials science and engineering professional Serbia Jie · Grenada Turk, as well as other eight researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Currently, most solar cells are made of silicon, and then made crystal silicon highly purified and cut into thin slices, prices have been relatively expensive. Many researchers are exploring the silicon substitute, such as nano-structure or a hybrid solar cell Asus A42-A6 battery, and indium tin oxide (ITO) are these new type of solar cell using a transparent electrode.

Grenada Turk said: "Currently, ITO transparent electrode material of choice, such as a touch screen smartphone but the the indium the high price of the compound, the graphene from everywhere, inexpensive carbon . "

Turk Grenada graphene may be a new alternative to ITO material. In addition to lower cost, it is well, such as good flexibility, light weight, high mechanical strength and chemical stability advantages.

Since the stability of graphite and an inert structure, to direct at the surface of pure graphene build semiconductor nanostructure without affecting its electrical properties and structure, with a higher level of challenge. Grenada Turk and his team used a series of polymer coatings to change the properties of the graphene, to enable them to adhesive zinc oxide nanowire layer, then covered on response the lightwave sulfide quantum dots or a known material polymer P3HT.

Grenada Turk said: "Despite changes, but the innate properties of graphene remains unchanged, is a composite material has a significant advantage."

The MIT team has confirmed that the electrodes were comparable in terms of efficiency devices based on graphene and ITO. In the case of covering sulfide quantum dots, graphene power conversion efficiency of 4.2%, lower than the common silicon Asus K52J Battery, but in a special purpose in the future having competitiveness.

In addition, the first author of the study, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Materials Science and Engineering postdoctoral Zhang Sheng root Unlike other temperature has continued to rise in the semiconductor, graphite electrode coating of zinc oxide nanowires can be temperature controlled at 175 degrees Celsius.

"The power has been turned on not charging" solution to the problem!

When 'the power is turned on has not been charging' this problem, you can do first the following actions:
Pull the plug and re-inserted .. shutdown restart .. it is not shut down every one will open.
If the above operation is done or no role, we more detailed look at the following solution:
The many laptop plugged into the power adapter, and occasionally will be prompted to "the power has been turned on not charged, the Asus A32-F3 Battery can not be charged in this case.Although sometimes restart will be able to solve the problem, but itWhen more reboot still remains the same. " Depressed, battery discharge too much on batteryLife is not good. So, how to solve this problem?
1, check laptop battery powerLook at the battery at this time how much electricity, if the battery is between 90% and 100%, then charge into electricityPerhaps it is normal. Notebook in order to protect the life of the battery, would not be so frequent charge cycles, batteryLess than 90% (a lot of the book is 95%) when it is charging. Some notesInstinct set battery electricWhen it is less than how much charge is a digression.2, check whether the charger is originalSometimes, for example, Dell's 1450 notebook "uncharged" prompt will pop-up boxes, "can not determine the type of the AC power adapter will slow down your system run faster, and the battery will not charge Please connect the AC adapter for Dell 90W or higher power, to get the best system performance. "In this instance, you should first check the charger original charger, to see whether the correct power adapter, if not needed replaced.
3, how to determine the power of the adapterAs mentioned in the previous step, some notebook requires 90W power adapter, the laptop is how to determine the power of the adapter? Generally circular needle adapter notebook charger, the middle of the needle play The power of recognition, did not you imagine the high-tech, right? the needle broken or inside Weld dropped, it would quickly repair go.
4 whether to disable the charging functionSome Asus K52F battery option a "prohibits charging" function, this function below the adapter directly to the laptop power supply without charging the battery, in this case not be recharged into electricity. Is advisable to check the battery option, to see whether to disable the laptop charging function.
Update the BIOS, or be able to solve the charging problemTested, know the battery adapter no problem, then update the BIOS. Updating the BIOS may be able to solve a rare problem. The different notebook BIOS upgrade is not the same, for example, Hewlett-Packard refresh program under Windows, the graphical interface rookie also started to upgrade BIOS smoothly. Some notebook still use plain DOS as the upgrade process.Postscript: laptop charge is not into power is actually a common problem, and sometimes plug in the power adapter, notebook response, this time may be a plug loose, or too much dirt on the plug. General unplug the Asus A32-F82 Battery power adapter and then plug in more than try a few will be able to solve the charging problem

Little Experience to Share Personal Maintenance Laptop Battery

Laptop battery without charge after the battery is fully utilized

Notebook batteries are lithium batteries, lithium Asus A32-F3 Battery, run out of battery again for a long time is full simply do not have any effect, or even harmful. Because lithium battery does not exist in the so-called "buffer effect", only the early nickel batteries have this feature. Laptop battery life is generally only with man-made damage or natural life. Basically, the battery life is fixed ,300-600 charge and discharge times, and generally available for 2 years.



When the power is connected, the battery can pull or not to pull

Stubbs and do not pull out depending on the actual use: do not disconnect the Asus K52F battery while connected to a DC power supply battery and no harm, because the fully charged battery will no longer accept any power injection, power will all turn directly to the laptop supply system. But when the laptop high-speed operation, the internal overheating is best to remove the battery, otherwise it is harmful.



Proper to charge the laptop battery

Should try to avoid light depleted rechargeable Asus A32-F82 Battery power, because this will give the battery a lot of pressure to cause damage. More feasible approach is to be charged when the remaining 20-30% of electricity. Laptop lithium battery in fact the number of light / charge "is limited, all used to recharge only greatly shorten battery life. The same time, the battery should be charged in a dry place, Also note that the heat problem, which is the enemy of batteries.

Tip: the use of mobile phone batteries, laptop battery is not the same, may be a lot of people will be based on their own experience in the use of the mobile phone battery to determine the feel that the laptop battery should recharge all used this idea is wrong.

 

How to save laptop battery has not been used for a long

The  Asus A32-N61 Battery is fully charged, should put photoelectric save or save? Long-term preservation would put photoelectric batteries will lose their activity, and even lead to the control circuit protection self-locking and can not re-use, fully charged the long-term preservation will bring safety hazards, the ideal method of preservation is to use electricity to about 40% and then stored in the a cool, dry place, about 20 degrees Celsius is the ideal storage temperature. Of course, the best month to take the battery out to use, both to guarantee battery good state of preservation, but not so the loss of damage to the battery runs completely.



Several measures to prolong laptop battery working time

1> lower the screen brightness: fn + down / up key combination to quickly adjust brightness (specific fn + which keys need to look at each notebook, Lenovo general fn + up key, off-screen fn + f2).

2> make good use of standby, sleep and other functions: when a longer period of time without a computer, allowing notebook standby or hibernation, saving power and extend the life of the computer.

3> using the battery, try to turn off the wireless, Bluetooth and infrared port. Removed without the use of peripherals at the same time and avoid enable large 3D programs, games, etc., in order to reduce unnecessary battery consumption.

Notebook Battery - the Battery is Properly Maintained

Correct laptop battery maintenance methods

Asus A32-K72 Battery quality and endurance in to buy laptop cash sorter fact, how to make good use of the laptop, how to make good use of laptop battery, how to extend the use of the work and the use of life, no doubt troubled by the majority of notebook users a problem laptop battery use a variety of methods and techniques, which we need in the peacetime use of more learning and application. Next, compare introduce three simple maintenance method. I hope to be helpful to everyone.

1. the user wants to use the Asus A32-F82 Battery longevity, it would need to have a good start, when we buy a notebook, the battery should have some remaining power, this way, the user experience (If you find that the battery is is full, then prove that this machine was used) At this point, you should not use an external power supply, the battery in the power exhausted, until the shutdown, and then use the external power supply charge.

2.Do not on a rainy day to charge the battery: the rainy days are often thunder, lightning caused instantaneous current in terms of impact on the battery is extremely unfavorable. In addition, voltage stability in the use of the laptop battery is also particularly important. Users should avoid the notebook power adapter and power appliances (such as air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine) connected to the same power outlet.

Avoid high-temperature and high-pressure
3.Regular battery maintenance: If you can not guarantee every time the Asus K52J Battery is used thoroughly clean and recharge, then at least a month to carry out a standard charge and discharge (ie, put a clean full refill), or on a regular basis with BIOS built-in battery calibration function to carry out maintenance, such extended battery life is very good.

4.If some users are not used for long battery battery charge to more than 50% of the electricity consumption during storage, so that is conducive to the subsequent use of the battery. In addition, the storage process must pay attention to indoor temperature is too high or too low, the temperature of the battery is relatively large, the best storage temperature is about 20 degrees.

Afford is the Last word Mainstream Win8 Notebook

Microsoft last month released a new Windows 8 operating system is undoubtedly the most important event of the IT sector in the second half of this year, major PC manufacturers recently launched new notebook equipped Win8 operating system. Last month, a variety of Win8 deformation over most of this has become the focus of the market for Win8 new design deformation touch over most of this good man-machine interactive experience, but most of the models frequently million the price is still prohibitive for most consumers.

In fact, the traditional design of the notebook equipped Win8 operating system can enhance performance and application experience, and price advantage. Gave you recommended several Win8 notebook has begun selling mainstream today, most of them priced at 8,000 yuan, cheaper even need only 4000 yuan will be able to win the recent purchase laptop friends might concern this article.

Note: The office of a friend with a laptop will always encountered forgot the power adapter, the same specifications as the adapter is difficult to find colleagues by, If you are in the hands of a similar universal cell phone charger notebook power adapter it would be solved, the recent well-known domestic power supply manufacturers HuntKey on the launch of a universal notebook power adapter, it is lightweight and portable, joint, fast charging almost compatible notebook of all brands on the market, and is very stable.

Asus VivoBook S400: Win8 cost-effective touch this

The ASUS S400E3317CA a targeted 14-inch mainstream consumer launch Windows 8 touch super pole of the, membership VivoBook series. The appearance of the aircraft products adhering to the minimalist design of the S series, metal body with a multi-touch screen, and with thin features, easy to carry around. Configuration, the machine uses ultra-low voltage Core i5 dual-core processor with SSD and HDD combination program, priced at just 5299 yuan.

Simple method for notebook battery 2 times delay the utilization rate

One is the general laptop users care about Asus A32-F82 Battery usage problem, how can the utilization of the battery to play to the most extreme or battery 2 times longer utilization rate, in fact, this is entirely possible. What percentage will eventually use to recharge should be said that not too much sophisticated as this, then the user will become very passive, battery practice is not so delicate. As for the use of the AC battery also win on the machine or as you like it. Laptop circuit master much better than a cell phone, overflowing after the power it will take the initiative to cut off the charging circuit and a small current loop in order to maintain the status of the Asus A32-F3 Battery charge circuit to master the machines are designed in less than 95% of the electricity began charging so you do not have to worry about such as battery plug in to the infinite period charging ghost saying; initiatives we put on the outside of the battery with a layer of plastic wrap, and so be able to cut off the dust, and a cool place if win to save it, and then regularly take go with, enrich my knowledge, in order to prevent battery loss activity.

There is also a question everyone is asking is also more, after all, whether it is necessary to calibrate the battery, how to calibrate the battery? Answer is yes, because the unstable factor battery use and charging capacity of the battery will form landing But such a landing is not formed because the aging, so the proper calibration is able to make this partial loss of capacity recovery. Therefore, regular battery calibration tasks is very necessary for an event, for example, from January to February.
So laptops like Compaq and IBM governance processes in the BIOS or power supply Asus A42-A6 battery calibration function, so the use of the friends of the two brands to shine can alert the operator. About those who do not supply this function brand user is able to follow the House of the system to supply the steps:

1. Confirmation Close all windows, and save the data of all previous tasks
2 will screen saver is set to "None"
3. Confirm that the battery after charging more than 80%, unplug the power and all external equipment, screen brightness initiative landed, and then leave it to hit the brightest.
4 screen brightness set to maximum
5.Windows power management in power use plan is set to "always open" and above Close and equipment coherent whole menu is set to "never"
6.Alert tab will power the lack of an alert is set to 10%, the operation is set to "no operation"; "lack of power major alarm" is set to 3%, operating as "standby"
We usually use the notebook office is directly connected to the power supply using a computer, and thus ignore the important use of the Asus A32-N61 Battery. If users often want to use battery power, then the above method to help you definitely big enough.

How to improve the battery endurance mobile work ability

Recently, one from 360 hardware guru statistics show that 46% of Internet users use laptops, but 12% of Asus A32-F3 Battery life of less than 1 hour. How to enhance the capacity of the mobile work laptop, 360 security experts teach you three strategies to easily get rid of the "invisible killer" affect battery life.

    "Invisible killer": wireless devices such as Bluetooth, Wifi

    360 experts, and now most of the laptops support Bluetooth are few and far between, and the real user. By default, the Bluetooth program will boot, although the power of Bluetooth devices in general in 1W about, sounds very small. But boot Bluetooth, the computer will automatically search the surrounding equipment, power consumption will increase, affecting endurance. The Wifi situation is this.

    "Invisible killer": power management program

    Many notebook startup item has a power management program, to help the user to choose a different electricity set according to the different environment. Some well-known brands of power management program is very useful indeed. However, power management is for the brand, model design, if the wrong type of power management program will fail. Power Manager program does not correspond, it will repeatedly try to control the power, but a waste of energy. Does not match the Asus K52F battery power management endurance may be reduced by about 15%. (As shown)
    "Invisible killer": useless startup items

    The absolute main CPU power consumption, typically account for about 1/3 of the overall computer. Computer at boot time, CPU occupancy rate great boot process, the more, the greater the consumption. 360 security guards to many users in the use of the clean-up useless startup items of software, can effectively reduce the boot time, save energy. (As shown)

    360 security experts said that the current mainstream CPU average power consumption of 70W, about 150 million units of total computer. If the the national user can optimize PC Asus A32-F82 Battery regularly, then the boot process about saving energy 96 000 degrees, there are many benefits to the individual and the state.
