The new laptop is great, just as any other review said the battery last 9 hours. The charge time is pretty fast, from 10% to all the way up to 100% only required 2 hours. I am loving this laptop. Everything is quick and snappy. No problem at all. I put this computer into power saving mode all the time but I can still watch video, stream music, watch YouTube and browse the web at the same time. The screen is good, bright and no dead pixel. I haven't use the web camera since I am not a web camera person. The speaker is loud, the keyboard is roomy enough so I hardly press the wrong key. I just wish the mouse pad is little bigger. Beside that This is one of the best laptop.
Our project the smart is finally done. We pick smart phone because we felt smart phone is the future. As our phone contain almost all the information we need. In next couple years, I bet we can leave our house without our wallet. Our phone can act as credit with Google Wallet, even it is only on Sprint network. As other carriers see its usefulness, they will probably adopt into their network and every body can use it as credit card. so the only thing we need to protect is our phone rather than phone and wallet. In the future, hopefully next thing we can replace is the key. With phone activation door, that would be the future. Hopefully it is coming soon since I really hate carrying my keys around.

New laptop
I bought a new laptop yesterday as the Chromebook keep on failing me. My CR-48 inconstant wifi card problem, I couldn't deal with it any more. Sometimes, I was taking note in classroom, the wifi would stop and since I always use Google Doc to take note, the Google Doc would switch to offline mode which I cannot take note at all. It is very problematic. When that happen, I have to open another tab and open a offline note taking app within Chrome. It can be use offline which is great but the functionality wise, it is not so good. Took me couple week to finally landed on a laptop that I thought it is good and battery that last long.
I have a Dell XPS m1330 laptop at home. It is 13 inch which is perfect for its size to bring any where I want. It is light too. Its problem is battery. It only last little less than 2 hours. When I use it at home, it is no problem because I can charge it anytime I want but in school it is different story. I have to worry about its battery life and keep it to 100% before any class start. It is very troublesome.
As I figure, I need a laptop with a modern spec, not over price and last me the whole day of school which generally require a battery life of 7 to 9 hours. Took me a while to find a laptop like that. At first I was thinking get a Macbook Air. It is light and last pretty long. My friend bought one and install window 7 on it to use for his school. He said it is good, fast, and very portable. The battery life is good enough for him to last the whole day but the price is different story. It costs $1000+. That is not option for me. It just too expensive for its cost. Took me a while but I finally found a laptop that suited for me. Acer Aspire TimelineX AS3830T-6870 is a laptop that is low price, modern spec and last for 9 hours. The main spec I look for when I bought this laptop is the CPU and the battery as everything else can be lower. The CPU is Intel i5 dual core with 2.4 Ghz and battery life of 9 hours as I said before. It came with window 7 home edition. I have the professional edition at home, I can upgrade it or leave it the way it is. I bought this laptop for $663.71 in newegg.com. I also look at Amazon's price, at first I thought Amazon's price would be cheaper since on the website it only cost around 620 but when in check out with tax, the tax alone is $55 and the final cost is around $677. I made that it is better to buy it from newegg and save me at least $10. The review for this laptop can read here.
