Amazon.com Product Description

No matter how specific your requirements, chances are IBM has a ready-made mobile computer to cover them. This model, the ThinkPad T41 (23733HU) Notebook PC, targets those who need a lightweight, capable machine but can't quite justify the cost of a true state-of-the-art unit. Featuring modern perks such Intel's Centrino technology and Microsoft's Windows XP Professional operating system (more powerful and more business-oriented that Windows XP Home Edition), the ThinkPad T41 (23733HU) is a solid and eminently portable medium-duty notebook.

Driven by a 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M processor with Intel's new Centrino technology (Centrino processors offer improved battery life and more power than similarly rated non-Centrino CPUs) and a solid 512 MB allotment of DDR SDRAM memory, the ThinkPad T41 (23733HU) will efficiently run most common mobile tasks. The system's graphics controller, an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 32 MB of dedicated video memory, helps power the unit through midlevel 3D applications and games but may have some trouble displaying a smooth frame rate when operating today's newest high-end 3D games and 3D design apps.

Tipping the scales at a scant 4.9 lbs. and measuring just 12.2 by 10.0 by 1.0 inches, the ThinkPad T41 (23733HU) is exceptionally easy to transport and operate. IBM has equipped the system with an average-sized 40 GB hard disk for file and program storage, a CD-RW/DVD drive through which you can listen to and burn audio CDs and watch DVD movies, and a 14.1-inch TFT display screen capable of crystal clear 1400 by 1050 resolutions. DVD writing is not supported in this stock configuration.

The ThinkPad T41 (23733HU) is home to many unique and practical perks, including a nifty keyboard-illuminating ThinkLight for low-light situations, an S-Video out port, two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for fast interaction with external peripherals, and a full-size keyboard featuring IBM's user-friendly ThinkPad UltraNav multi-pointing system. An IEEE 1394 FireWire connection, typically used for downloading data from digital camcorders, is not part of the package.

Communication options include a low-speed 56K fax/modem, a super-fast Intel/PRO 1000 Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet connector for incrementally faster network access than traditional LAN technology, and Intel PRO wireless for those times when you can't plug in. Battery life is estimated at an admirable 4.4 hours under ideal conditions. ... Read more

The Basics
It was just a few years ago that true micro-notebooks were little more than glorified calculators. But times change and Sony's innovative VAIO VGN-T150/L proves that a three lb. notebook no larger than a traditional pad of paper can indeed deliver adequate power for the majority of typical mobile tasks. Granted, this is not an ideal unit for demanding business and power users or sophisticated 3D gamers. It is, however, perfect for anyone who frequently hauls their notebook with them to remote un-plugged environments and engages in comparatively basic tasks such as word processing, data gathering, finances, contact management and email/Internet sessions. Stunningly portable, extremely battery efficient and more potent than the vast majority of past or present micro-notebooks, the not inexpensive VAIO VGN-T150/L is a miniature dynamo.

Hard Disk
The system features a 40 GB hard disk. In a time when some notebooks offer hard drives of 100 GB and more, 40 GB may not seem overly generous. However, in the rarified, miniscule world of ultra-compact notebooks, 40 GB of storage space is indeed a sizable amount. Though you likely won't have enough room for a library of space-gobbling video files, the unit will store a typical number of mobile apps and user-created files and a few tunes too.

Optical Drive
An optical drive is essential in today's computing environment. A "CD-ROM" drive allows you to install CD-based applications and play music CDs. A "CD-RW" drive adds CD "burning", so you can also backup your important files to long-lasting discs and create personalized music CDs. With a DVD-ROM drive you can watch DVD movies. And with a DVD-RW drive, you can "write" home movies to durable discs and archive files to DVD (DVDs boast more than seven times the storage capacity of a CD). Some drives allow you to do a combination of all of these tasks. This system features a DVD+RW/-RW drive through which you can do all of the above.

Audio
The unit is equipped with two miniature stereo speakers, a mini microphone jack and a stereo mini headphone jack.

Keyboard and Controls
You'll control your notebook via an 83-key keyboard and standard electro-static touch pad.

Connectivity and Expansion
The VAIO VGN-T150/L offers an assortment of ways to keep in touch, including a 56K modem for low-speed dial-up Internet and email access, a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port for high-speed wired network and Internet, and an integrated Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (802.11b/g) for cord-free e-communication at home, at the office or on the road via a local public hotspot. Other key amenities include two high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play devices such as external drives and digital cameras, an IEEE 1394 FireWire port (commonly used for quick data uploads from digital camcorders), and a PC Card Slot for one type I or type II card with CardBus support..

Operating System and Software
Sony will preinstall today's most accepted operating system, Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition. Other applications include productivity and word processing software and Sony's typically ample array of music, video and digital photo utilities and editing packages.

Dimensions and Weight Many of today's most powerful notebooks are also the largest, weighing ten or twelve lbs or more and therefore too big and cumbersome for extensive, continuous traveling. These are often referred to as "desktop replacements". On the other extreme are "thin and lights" or "ultra-portables", super-miniaturized units that typically aren't as powerful as their larger brethren but weigh as little as two or three lbs. and will often fit comfortably inside a large purse. The VAIO VGN-T150/L is exceptionally small and comfortable at a mere 3.1 lbs and just 10.1 by 8.1 by 1.0 - 1.3 inches (depending on configuration).

Power
The unit is equipped with a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery that delivers up to 5.5 hours (with standard battery) and 6.0 to 11.0 hours (with a large capacity battery). These are exceptional figures in today's notebook world. ... Read more

Valence Technology (130-692000) 130W NCharge for Dell ... Read more

Reviews (4)

Performance not upto promise
I got the N-Charge II after searching for alternate power sources for my laptop for quite a while. The biggest advantage that N-Charge offered was 5 hours of power - a very good thing when it comes to watching DVDs on planes when combined with the laptop's native battery.
I expected that N-Charge would last atleast 4.5 hours, and maybe drop to 4 hours with time - when watching DVDs on laptop. However, during initial use, the battery did not even make 3 hours when doing simple word processing and office work. It typically ran out in about 2.66 hours. This is with LCD brightness set to low, and not running any CD/DVD. I have an IBM T40 with 1GB RAM and Pentium M centrino.
Few other observations:
1. The quality of the connections was pretty solid as the reviewer before me mentioned
2. The Valence co. didnt respond to the emails I send them about some hi-pitched noise, that happened everytime I unplugged the battery from the power source. So this contradicts point made before of the high customer service over email. Maybe they are better on the phone.
3. Its power is rated at 12.8V and 4.050AH - something that isn't mentioned on their website. I found better power for T40 - 6.6AH and 10.8V - for $180 - and I can get it for cheaper through some deals. It doesnt offer the flexibility of N Charge - but seems to be a better value to me.
All and all, a disappointing product for $200, one that I will return.

A note on the Electronic Fan's comment...
I experienced the same thing and all I did was stuck a length of Velcro strap over and across the connector, securing it underneath with the section of a tiny piece of facing hook tab and all is well once again. Velcro straps does wonders!

I would recommend this over the OTHER brand!!!
I have both a NCharge and an Electroyava external battery and first off, I would like to say that NCharge has a far better customer service than the Canadian based Electoyava. You be the judge...

I send in my Electroyava for a broken tiny contact pin inside the battery end of the connector and it took Electrovaya nearly two months, a hundred bucks for replacement plus shipping cost, numerous emails and phone calls and then, dealing with the NY State based contact and starting all over again, then faxing my signature (that last one was unheard of from all my dealings online!!!) before I got a brand new replacement. They surely could have send me a replacement earlier instead of giving me the runaround and waited and waited.

Electroyava's tiny plug-in connection was secured only by the snug rubber edge that surrounded the whole battery- a tiny hole in the back within the rubber edge, and the contact pin could easily be wiggled, twisted, misaligned and break while the connection behind the NCharge is very, very beefy, firm and positive with no tiny little contact in the middle of some tiny black hole to break! In another word, NCharge battery's construction was designed well and with users in mind.

Meanwhile, I send a comment via email to Valance and their customer service called me back the next day. Find me another company that would do that!

Anyway, I love my NCharge battery and my only complain was those very fragile, tiny black plastic alignment tabs/guides flanking the connector. One broke off within days after I received the battery but it did not hamper its operation. I would recommend an NCharge over any other brand and a serious consideration when you are thinking of buying another factory battery as a backup! It might be a little more expensive initially but it is worth it in the long run.

I might recommend gluing a 99 cent, 2mm foam rubber mat from the craft store on top of the battery so your laptop would not slide around on top of it. Then again, you could use some Velcro tabs too.

Lets give Valance some more business so they could produce better and less expensive products for us consumers, I'd say.

Does the job and does it well.
I have had this external battery for about a week now.Firstly, it is small and very thin.They ship it with stickable rubber stops so you can place it beneath your laptop without slippage.I personally don't find it that heavy but I can see how people with a notebook might get that impression.

As far as battery life goes, you can use it for a typical work day without any problems.Imagine never having to find a wall socket again.Furthermore, it is great not having to lug around long cables.All you have is the flat batter and a 6 inch cable that comes out the back.Also, you can use your laptop at full speed for the day instead of the sluggish performance that is required by most laptop batteries.

There is one dowside that I noticed.The attachement is not inclued with the battery itself.This means you will have to go to Valence's webpage and find the appropriate attachement for your laptop and buy that serperately (~$30).Furthermore, the cable attachement doesn't really "lock in" to the battery.I had it slip out on my once by accident while I was moving my laptop around.It hasn't happend since and it doesn't come out without a bit of effort.That being said it would be nice if they had something that snapped on and locked.

I wanted to put this up really quick.. not a great review, but a quick overview of my opinion.Hope it helps. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

Extremely thin (10.6 by 9.6 by 1.2 inches) and very lightweight (a mere 4.3 pounds), Averatec's 3150P Notebook PC is one of the smallest standard mobile computers on the market. Though not a power user's dream rig, the unit is a smart option for those who require excellent portability and a fiscally sensible price point.

The Averatec 3150P is driven by a trio of cost-effective components -- a 1.4 GHz AMD Athlon XP-M 1600+ processor, 256 MB DDR SDRAM memory, and an integrated S3 ProSavage8 graphics controller with 32 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory. With this level of power at their disposal, users can expect solid performance for standard 2-D tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, Internet surfing, contact management, and basic drawing. However, sophisticated business applications and complex multitasking will likely tax the system's capabilities. Furthermore, the unit's graphics engine will not effectively handle mid- to high-end 3-D gaming or animation.

The Averatec 3150P features an adequate 30 GB hard disk on which to store your important data and a DVD/CD-RW drive through which you can play and burn audio CDs, archive data and play DVD movies. DVD burning is not supported. You'll monitor your activities on a 12.1-inch XGA TFT display capable of sharp 1024 by 7678 resolutions, and listen to your tunes via built-in stereo speakers.

For such a small and affordable notebook, the Averatec 3150P is very well connected. Communication options include integrated 10/100 Mbit LAN for fast networking and Internet access, a 56K modem for slower dial-up environments and 802.11b wireless for those times when you can't plug in. Other important amenities include three fast USB 2.0 ports for data streaming with external devices such as scanners and digital cameras, a Type II PC Card CardBus slot, and an 85-key full-sized keyboard. An IEEE 1394 FireWire port (commonly used for swapping data with digital camcorders) is not included.

Microsoft's Windows XP Professional Edition heads up the preinstalled software bundle, which also features Microsoft's Works 7.0 productivity package and a DVD playback utility. Battery life is estimated at a commendable 3-plus hours with the enclosed Smart Li-ion cell. ... Read more

Avoid Averatec
I bought an Averatec 3150H notebook in January. The first one had defective battery and I returned it. The replacement had problems with screen, I sent it in for repairs and it's now been in their repair shop for over two months waiting for parts. Averatec product quality is inferior and their service is non-existent. Don't waste your money on this brand.

Good... but needs slight work
I bought this system in December, and so far it has proven very reliable. The USB ports (3) are quite helpful when multitasking, and it can connect to the internet in a variety of helpful ways. I have yet to try the wireless 802.11b, but up to now, the LAN port has proven the fastest. The RAM needs one upgrade to be fully helpful, and to get full processor power, disable a lot of programs that slow down operation.
