Smartbook

Smartbook has just come out; perhaps people are not familiar with it. But when we mentioned this new product, a similar word “smart phone“ may occur to your mind.

 
According to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia:
     “A smartbook is a mobile device that falls between smart phones and netbooks, delivering features typically found in smartphone (always on, all-day battery life, 3G connectivity) in a slightly larger device with a full keyboard.

    Smartbooks will tend to be designed to work with online applications. Smartbooks are likely to be sold initially through mobile network operators, like mobile phones are today, along with a wireless data plan.”

 
Some expert indicated that because of  this  fresh new product, consumers probably will not abandon smart phones, but may give up notebook and pointed out that the sales of smartbook will be a hard process.

 
Most manufactories take smartbook as an alternative of notebook. It is said that the size of smartbook ranges between smart phones and mini-notebooks with an orientation: associate the simplicity and connectivity of smart phone together with the functionality and easy use of notebook.

 
About the size

 
Nokia says that consumers prefer the mobile devices with a standard size, and most will regard notebook as their first choice which caters more favor to travelers. In other words, sometimes, a smart phone is enough for consumers to do some simply work, while smartbook is in an awkward situation for its size are not too big or neither too small which means it would be too bigger to put it in your pocket or too simple to carry out a complicated work.

 
Besides, Nokia points out that smartbook will have more impact on notebook than the smart phones. Moreover, it explained that people are more and more accustomed to carry smart phone, and there are possibility that smartbook will replace notebook.

 
No matter which one will win the favor of the public, it is the consumer who made the final decision. Is it smartbook, smart phone or notebook? Just guess it, it would be fun.

6, another option: third-party update tool
Third-party tool, like PC-Mover Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant of Laplink software allows user upgrade from XP to Windows 7 under the same hardware. However, people have to pay extra cost for Laplink software because it is not free of charge.

 
7, check the hardware compatibility
Suppose the new hardware you added is supported by Vista, then it could be installed successfully on Windows 7, because most of the Vista drivers can take the place of Windows 7`s. Learned from the lessons on Vista, Microsoft urged the related hardware manufactures to test driver compatibility ahead of time. But, for a better use, we suggest the use had better install a 64-bit driver. You also have another choice for some hardware manufacturers like HP have already committed to the compatibility for Windows 7, even for the 64-bit kernel.

 
8, a significant improvement in user access control
Beneath the cool and flashy Windows 7 surface is an updated kernel which is somewhat similar to the structure of Vista. The design of user access control (UAC) is aimed at isolating certain applications like a virus, malicious code and other bad behavior from the user based systems which could independently cease all forms of malicious software and ensure the safety of your notebook. The UAC applied in Windows 7 runs quietly and deals with most of invasion news preliminary instead of pop-up message box constantly whenever invaded.

 
9, runs virtual XP through Win 7
If you purchase a Windows 7 64-bit Professional or higher version, you can also run XP through a virtual machine. But under this circumstance, the machine should be equipped with processor which supports virtualization and multi-threading technology. Moreover, you need to expand the memory and configured separately for a safer operation of XP.

 
10, 64-bit
Currently, it is still find any reason to run Windows 7 in the existing 32-bit hardware, although the tests show that the performance of 32-bit version Windows 7 is better than Vista or XP, but the fact is 64-bit is faster.
Hope the above information is useful to you. Enjoy your happy trip under Windows 7.

Why we keep on talking about Windows 7? Are we advertising it? Of course not, what we want to do is to supply you the latest news and most useful information. And at this period it is Windows 7 which attracts the whole world’s attention.

 
Yesterday, Microsoft officially released Windows 7 which means those who are still using Windows XP or Vista have one more choice towards OS—upgrade to Windows 7. However, before you made the final decision, you’d better take the following ten things into consideration.

 
1, Windows 7 is faster
Windows 7 performances better than Windows XP SP3and Vista SP2, only if the user run 64-bit Windows 7, one potential reason is that most of its performance benefit from the latest 64-bit hardware drivers and components which indicated that users must buy new hardware for the old one may not have the necessary components and updated drivers.

 
2, Microsoft’s desktop accessory
For a better performance, perhaps user needs a desktop accessory package (MDOP). For instance, the package including some attachment such as Microsoft diagnosis and recovery tools which enables you independent from the technical support to handle the catastrophic mechanical failure. Besides, the advanced group policy management could “push” to manage users and groups.

 
3, a clean start
Some may ask: why not go on with Windows XP? However, if you think that Windows desktop system is necessary, so is Windows 7 needed. Unlike XP SP3 which has to update 1300 patches (Office patches included), the internal structure of Windows 7 is the innovation of XP. At the same time, the user interface has changed a lot and is said to be the best.

 
4, upgrade from XP in the old hardware
If you are considering upgrade from XP to Windows7 in the old hardware, we do not directly support you doing so and sincerely suggest you to install the new OS on new hardware instead of old one. Many applications are required to upgrade, adjust or even re-install once applied in Windows 7. And a addition of at least 5GB space is needed to perform in-place upgrade from XP to Windows 7 to hold the provisional application. The whole upgrade process may take up to two hours.

5, upgrade advisor
Microsoft provides a free download of “Windows upgrade advisor” tool. It sounds good, but it is not a foolproof especially when you upgrade from XP 64-bit version in that the 64-bit version is based on Windows 7beta version, and compared to the final version of the official release, it is still a bit inadequate. After you installed the “Windows upgrade advisor”, it will automatically check your machine but not run. Then, it will tell you the application can work or not after the upgrade. Microsoft makes a statement on its official website that the tool only recommended XP and Vista users to buy new hardware.
The next five tips are coming up in the next edition.

On October 22, Windows 7 is widely available. Whether it is good or bad for us, the consumer is the one who will make the final decision. All in all, Windows 7 is shaping up well, it is a far more modest release than Vista or any other operation system was. This new operation system introduces a compelling combination of welcome innovations and much-needed polish, and that’s exactly what Microsoft needs right now.

 
This issue we will use the following classical Windows interface to help you recall the years Windows has been gone through with us.

Talking about advertisement, most people may feel nasty about it; as a matter of fact the word “nasty” is not enough to describe our disgusting toward it. However, we have to admit that except for commercial advertisement, some other public welfare advertisement do has pretty good effect on both society and environment. Take one mobile phone ads I’ve seen several days ago, which gave me an impression deeply and which I want to share with you, what I want to share is not only the ads, but also the inner emotion.

 
The ads begin with an interview between a daughter (short for “D” in the following dialogue) and her mother (short for “M”).

D: I want freedom, I want free from my mom’s control, but once depart from my mom for a long time; you will not accustom to the days without the gums around you.
When I live an independent life, I always missed everything of my mom including her gums. And every time I called her want to hear her voice even the gums is ok, but she…
M: we can not live without cell phone? Why we need that ?
D: what matters is not the mobile phone, it is…

 
Well, we can guess what did the daughter want to say but do not do so on a second thought. It is daughter’s deep feelings for her mother. Something hard to speak out but once came out will moved us all.

 
After watching the ads, I took out my mobile phone immediately and gave my mother a phone call for hearing her familiar voice. I’ve never been missing my home so much ever before than this moment.

Your mom may not forget to bring cell phone with her, and you? Have you forget to call her when you feel lonely?

 Let us go deeper, besides your affection toward you mother, what about your long time no see old friends, are you too busy getting along with your new friends to call your old friends. It is the right time to pick up your cell phone and let them know you do keep them in mind and do not be too shy to show your feelings. Hesitation is of no use, action do on behalf of everything. You will go nowhere or somewhere? It depends on you, after all, being an independent person doesn’t mean you should be alone.
