HP Pavilion DV6 [Laptop Preview]
From the Blog ProPakistani: HP Pavilion DV6 [Laptop Preview] - HP Pavilion DV6 is a post from: ProPakistani Manufacturers: Hewlett-Packard Class: Pavilion Model: DV6-3190ee Price: Rs.113,000 approx Specs Overview: Operating System: Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit Processor: Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6 Ghz with Turbo boost upto 2.8 Ghz RAM: 6 GB DDR3 Hard Drive: 640 GB @ 5400 RPM Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 Graphics card (1 GB) Battery: 6 cell Lithium-Ion Display: 15.6" Diagonal HD Display DVD-ROM: Blu-ray DVD R/W with Double layer Support and Light Scribe Webcam: HP TrueVision Webcam with MIC (VGA) Wireless: Wireless Network Card 802.11b/g/n Bluetooth: HP Bluetooth Finger Print Reader: Yes Card Reader: 5 in 1 Available in Pakistan: Galaxy.pk High performance: This is some thing I shouldn't even be writing because of it being so obvious. This system is the single most powerful system that you can find in the market. A high end graphics card with an i7 processor and 6 Gigs of RAM is the most any one can ask for. Just a look at the specs tells you why the price is so insanely high for a laptop available in the local market. Load to carry: The foremost negative point of the system is that it is not too mobile. 15.6" screen along with all the other specs make the system heavy. HP has further more contributed to the problem by using some heavy metallic structure in most pavilions' designs. It weighs around 2.6Kgs which is a little too much to carry if you have additional bag or briefcase to carry. Win 7 Issues: Although not strictly related to this laptop, Win 7 is having issues running on Pavilions. Most of the people that have bought pavilions would know that the battery acts weird in Win 7. Most of users will start to get 'Replace the battery error' within 3 to 4 months of purchase. I tried searching on the internet and there were all sorts of speculations. Some believe HP is placing low quality batteries in the laptops while others believe that Win 7 has some software glitch that is damaging batteries. I own two pavilions, 1 of which has started giving me this error after just 3 months of usage. Both market giants are trying to avoid the blame and not taking responsibility for the problem. Battery Life: When you stack a system with all type of high tech stuff you can get your hands on, its battery should also be able to be powerful enough to keep it all running when there is no power source available. HP, unfortunately, didn't think about this. Now when there is no light, the ATI graphics card usually 'turns off' to conserve energy. So if you are using some application that uses a lot of video memory, you either have to plug in or finish your work within 30 to 40 minutes. If you turn on the graphics card without a source, there is good chance that the battery would drain within 40 to 50 minutes. HP should have used a 9 cell battery to support the power needs. Keypad Problems: Although comfortable, the key pad has some issues. The buttons on the pad are somewhat loose and if you use them very frequently, they would become extremely loose. Although they don't come out but still appear like they are broken. If you are deciding to play games, do remember to get a good mouse. Official Rating: 4.6/5 Underline: The best system if you have the money.

How to Make Better PowerPoint Presentations?
From the Blog ProPakistani: How to Make Better PowerPoint Presentations? - How to Make Better PowerPoint Presentations? is a post from: ProPakistani Whenever we need to make presentations, the software that immediately comes to mind is Microsoft PowerPoint. It's widely known as the simplest and most effective way of creating the best possible presentations, and it's one of that software's in which you can simply jump in and start using it. Ironically enough, its ease of use is why people tend to end up with similar looking presentations. Most people never bother to explore the various tools provided to aid the process of creating a presentation. Also, I've seen many users who take ages to format pictures in the slide and handle text instead of using inbuilt tools to simplify the process. So I'll give you a few tips and pointers to make your presentations more effective. To make your presentation stand out, there is tons of stuff you can do. – You have to be crystal clear when working with text. A chunk of text never looks good. It's better to make a few of points that capture the essence of what you are trying to convey, instead of page long lines. – Make the important words bold . Type the quotations and sayings in italic . Convey the information as simply as possible, but at the same time it's important not to oversimplify. Find a middle ground. – Just because its text, doesn't mean it has to be boring. Text slides can be made more interesting by putting in shapes and word art. I specially love the SmartArt feature which makes boring slides look visually appealing. Here's a slide I made up in a couple of minutes to illustrate this. – Use visual representations of data where ever possible, it keeps the audience engaged. Use charts, pictures and graphs in the Insert option that PowerPoint provides. For example if you are to explain the annual growth of a company, use a graph instead of giving the facts in text form. – If there's a lengthy point you have to make, find a relevant video and include it in the slides. Or, you can record a narration in your own voice while the salient features are given in form of points. Using different mediums enhances the professional feel of a presentation. - Use the inbuilt themes to add a bit of flair. But don't use them with default settings, that just conveys the message that you couldn't be bothered to spend time on the presentation. Try playing with different colors, fonts and effects. If you want to go really unique, do a Google search for free PowerPoint themes. – Animations and transitions on the slides look cool, but DONT overuse them. They can distract the audience. Personally, I use them sparingly on important slides. – Use the layout option to accommodate text, video and images effectively in your slides, as per your slide needs. – Always play your presentations full screen, when you're done, to know exactly what it will look like when you present it. It's important to get feedback too, show your work to family and friends and get impartial opinions on what looks good and what looks bad, then make relevant changes. Don't be intimidated by the various options provided in PowerPoint. They're quite fun to explore and many times you'll come across a short cut or find a better way to go about a particular task. The newer versions of PowerPoint (2007 and above) are jam packed with additional features and provide more ease of use compared to earlier versions. So get a copy and start making those presentations! Note: The author used Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 to illustrate the various points. Related posts: Laptop Vs Mobile Phone for School Going Girls?
