Wide Screen: Yes

Total HD Size (GB): 80

Min. Weight (lbs.): 3.7

The LED-backlit screen is splendid and helps in having a great look to work even in dark rooms. The design is great with elegant looks. The light glows up when the barrel popped up is turned on. And the light is switched off by turning off the barrel.

The most advantageous feature of this model is the capacity to integrate the ultra slim expansion base, dvd drive, ultra slim battery service. They are very thin and easy portable. All the components integrated together will weigh just 7.2 pounds. Many keys are present with the purpose of solving having the short cut keys. Most of the features are just a click away or a tap of the button away.

It has got a 2 megapixel camera integrated with it and helps in snapping the photos and having them inside as a bundle software. The components and features such as pen silo, WI FI switch, finger print reader are present at the top. It has also got a WWAN antenna at the side for better reception.

Superb docking station
High battery time
Cheap

The Hi-Grade Notino D2200 is a pink ultra portable laptop which is not that much catchy. Most of the viewers do not go for it and they do not like the looks. Some of its technical specifications are

12.1in, 1,280x800 screen;

1.95kg; 303x225x28mm;

battery life 1hr 5 mins;

1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T2350;

1GB DDR2 RAM;

120GB hard drive; 802.11 a, b, g; Bluetooth; Ethernet; 3x USB; 1x FireWire;

128MB Intel GMA 945; 1.3Mp camera;

1-year warranty

These features are not so attractive for this price as we could always get a better model at this price in the market. This is not too heavy to be lifted. Easy to carry and portable. The Hi-Grade Notino D2200's keyboard is nice and large. The speakers are good but the real fact is that it has failed to pull the attention of the laptop users as its compatriots do.

I do not know where the manufacturers have gone wrong in this. The total model is ridiculous. Useful blue and green status lights glow warmly from the front of the unit's base and a catch secures the lid when the Hi-Grade Notino D2200 is not in use. This alone is catching.

Also gamers would find no interesting part here. It does not support so many features as supportive for gaming. The battery power is too concerning. Under rigorous testing it has got only an hour and 5 minutes which is filthy. The only factor that is good is it is also available in silver version which gives a nice presence. The abysmal battery power is a concerning factor for all kinds of its users.

+ PROS

->Portability

-> Cheap

- CONS

->Low battery life

-> Does not efficiently support the gaming features.

Zepto is one series of Laptops that always delivers its worth, be it gaming or any general use, I can guarantee you that Zepto laptops will always be up to the mark. although not an international company, it is rising up very quickly, today we are going to review the new Zepto 6625WD Laptop.

Now, every laptop has some good things and some bad things associated with it, unless of course it is manufactured by God Inc. So then we'll now check out the good and bad in this awesome new laptop.

The Good:

Display: The Display of 6625WD is really top notch quality. Now firstly, this laptop has a nice wide screen. 15.4 Inches all in all. This screen comes with a very nice lighting up to it. As in, when you turn the laptop on, you'll see that this laptop's screen is much brighter than any of its predecessors. Even at high resolutions, the pictures are crystal clear and seldom blurry (as the case with most high end laptops)

Awesome Gaming!: After playing a few FPS games on this machine, we at LaptopAdvisor were convinced of the fact that this machine could really be on of your most favorite gaming partners since its FPS rate is very impressive to say the least. And that is if you're playing the game at full hardware acceleration. It DOES however lag here and there a bit but that shouldn't be a cause of concern as you could rather easily put the acceleration down and get the best performance.

Look: 6625WD looks really sleek and smooth. Hmm not exactly sleek maybe due to its traditional rectanglex2 design but still it looks quite alright. The keyboard is innovatively designed as well and it looks good too, no additional comfort for hands, but the design is kind of supportive.

No noise: Yep, even at full accelaration this thing makes no distinctive noise, I mean like yeah of course it does make a little bit of noise, which is very natural. But it never crossovers the sound emanating from the speakers. So yeah relatively quiet.

Good sound: Nice sound on this laptop. Really good detail into the sounds and plays everything really nice for a laptop computer. Although it still doesn't match up to a common desktop's speakers, but still relatively much better than other laptops.

The Bad(s)

Overheating: The only real bad thing about this laptop is the fact that it is extremely prone to overheating, if there is even a little clog in the vents and you're running the thing at medium accelaration, it could overheat very quickly. Therefore, one must always keep a watch at the temperature if they have this laptop.

All in all a must buy for gamers!

Laptops are machines, and they do overheat. No matter what any company says about their laptops, it is an inevitable fact that all laptops do tend to overheat at some moment or the other. Now firstly, let us understand how laptops work.

Laptops have an internal system of functioning, just like any CPU or for that matter, any other electronic device. Now since a lot of electricity passes through these internal parts, and a LOT of processes take place every second of you operating the machine, as a result, these circuits and systems tend to become hot due to all the activity.

Before you start blaming your laptop manufacturer right away, you must understand that most laptops manufactured after the year 2003 tend to have prevention measures in place for overheating. These laptops have certain vents on their lower body (on the sides and bottom) which allow the hot air to pass out of the laptop after it is blown away by a fan inside the machine (or a blower)

I know certain tech geeks who insist on taking off the lower covering of their laptop whenever they go hardcore gaming or into any other process that requires a lot of CPU usage. This helps a LOT in fact but for most normal people this isn't the obvious *way to go* solution. So what can you do to prevent your laptop from overheating then?

- Don't use in high temperatures
Don't use your laptop when the temperature is high (Above 40 degrees). This might cause your laptop to overheat very quickly (as normally the laptop is hotter than the outside temperature, which is called the base temperature).

- Prevent use in humid conditions
Don't use your laptop for a very long time (exceeding two hours) or for gaming when the conditions are above 60% humid. Because this causes the hot air blown out of the laptop to find it difficult to escape (Since vapor is generally denser than normal air and the molecules find it pave their way out)

- NEVER Block the vents
Your Laptop's air outlets or vents are its best friends, NEVER block them, especially the vents at the bottom of the laptop, they put a lot of air out, therefore always keep your laptop on something which provides sufficient area for the hot air to escape (preferably some sort of a stand). If you keep your laptop on your lap, try to put something on your lap first so it doesn't block the vents.

- Never leave a running laptop closed
Sometimes people tend to leave their running laptops closed, as in, they powered a laptop on but didn't turn it off and just closed it that way and kept it inside some enclosed place. If you do this, there is a high chance your laptop's hardware gets fried due to the trapping of hot air.

- Don't go hardcore
Laptops are meant for casual usage, yet sometimes people insist on gaming on their laptops, there is no problem with gaming on a laptop, but when you go on for a LONG time (2 hours plus) it becomes inevitable for the laptop to sustain some damage due to overheating caused by your actions. Not just gaming, this applies even to the usage of softwares which are high on CPU usage (Photoshop, CS, Flashy GUI stuff). If you want to game/use these softwares, do it, but try not to exceed a few hours.

- Turn your laptop OFF sometimes
A lot of people don't turn their laptop off, which is not just a major cause of all overheating problems, but actually of ALL laptop problems. Ideally, one should turn their laptop off for at least five-six hours everyday so that it is cooled off. By cooled off I don't mean the cooling of the outer crust, but there are SEVERAL internal parts of laptops which don't cool easily, they need time, and to get the most out of your laptop, you need to take care of them as well.

- Get more cooling
You could install some extra cooling for your laptop, something like a small water cooler, you know the ones found in certain high end gaming CPU's, something like that, and then you could affix a place for the actual blower inside the laptop in a way such that the cooler could be taken out and carried with you and your laptop, it would require extra power supply of course.

- Clean your Laptop sometimes
You must clean the internal area of your laptop sometimes, the recommended time is every two months. IF you believe you cannot do it, take your laptop to some repair shop and get it done. A laptop is frequently exposed to outside surroundings and hence has the biggest chance of catching dust hence obstructing the flow of hot air to the outside of the laptop.

Also, if ever your Laptop gets overheated and shuts down (for the first time) DO NOT turn it on until it has cooled off, or else there is a big possibility your laptop would get overheated and get some permanent damage on it.

So many companies choose to purchase or contract their laptop and notebook computers. However, when should it be ok to rent a laptop computer?
These would be some things to consider when renting a laptop: -if your business requires you to travel a lot and you need a standby wireless connection at all times.
-if your work, school calls for technology at a drop of a hat, this would be a situation where you would want to rent a computer laptop.
-if you have a computer/laptop that is back in the store for repairs.
-if you are conducting a seminar or training course and you need a great amount of laptop computers this would be a good time to rent.
-it would be highly advised to rent laptops if yours are on a what is called a delayed backorder and you have staff that is in need.
This is not to be confused with leasing, this is completely different. Renting is for a short period of time and in general is very adaptable and open, with all the commodities. Leasing would be like renting to own and you would have a fixed payment until you paid it off.
A company or individual can call up and cancel their rental policy at any time or prolong the duration that they keep their laptops
With a lease it would not be recommended that you call to cancel as you will be charged a high rate of penalty fees.
When renting a laptop you are in total control, does not need a huge amount of money and can be taken care of with a company or personal credit card. For many companies, renting can be as simple as getting your everyday office supplies with so many companies and stores that have great renting policies and benefits.
When you rent a laptop the company you rent from will come with 100% technical support incase anything were to go wrong where you be in need of assistance, you would also be able to test your laptop rental straight from your office, conference room, business vacation, informational lecture, meeting and the list would go on. Be careful as some companies will only send their laptops, in other words you will be given no tech support. If you can, have your laptop sent and demonstrated in front of the individual that will be using them. That will guarantee you have 100% prepared equipment.
For further more reasons on why businesses rent laptop computers would include short term offices, temporary workers and executives on business travel.
Acting offices can be entirely setup with rental laptop computers, printers, copy machines as well as fax machines. Many college students, corporate workers and many others in need of a laptop choose to opt in for rented laptop for its useful convenience.
