With over 100 years of combined technology experience, Hewlett-Packard and Acer have established themselves as technology innovators. Both of these brands have a reputation for selling great products, but which one provides the biggest bang for your buck with a laptop? Each offers different options for users across a range of product needs and interests, and selecting the best is a matter of matching your own needs against point-by-point comparisons.

Least Expensive

Both HP and Acer offer laptops with a starting price around $400. The laptops in this category have some similar hardware, including 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. As of early 2016, the fastest HP computer in this category is the Pavilion 14z-b100 Sleekbook and the fastest Acer laptop is the Aspire V5-171-6675. While these laptops both have similar RAM and hard-drive specifications, the Acer Aspire V5-171-667 gives you a faster processor (Intel Core i3-2377M processor vs. dual-core 1200+ AMD processor) and the HP Pavilion 14z-b100 Sleekbook gives you a larger screen (14-inch LED display vs. 11.6-inch LED display). If you are deciding between the HP or Acer at a $400 starting price, pick whether you’d want the faster Acer laptop or the HP laptop with a larger screen.

Top Rated: Around $500

As of early 2016, the best rated HP laptop around $500 is the Pavilion g6t-2300 Select Edition; the best Acer laptop in that range is the Aspire V5-571-6662. The hardware differs greatly, but they have the same sized 15.6-inch LED display. The HP laptop includes an Intel Core i5-2450 processor, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The Acer uses an Intel Core i3-2365M processor, 6GB of RAM and a 750GB hard drive. If you are deciding between these two machines, you would need to select whether you value speed or storage. While the HP laptop gives you a faster processor, the Acer laptop includes one-and-a-half times the storage capacity, as well as an additional 2GB of RAM over the HP laptop.

Top Rated: Around $1,000

As of early 2016, both HP and Acer offer 4 laptops priced around $1,000. One of the four laptops for each brand includes a solid-state drive. SSDs allow computers to start in mere seconds after pressing the power button and are less prone to damage. Traditional hard drives use moving parts, where SSD drives do not. The HP Spectre XT Ultrabook 13t-2100 and the Acer Aspire S5-391-6419 Ultra book both use a 128GB SSD, Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 13.3-inch LED display. While these laptops are almost identical as far as specifications are concerned, the Spectre XT includes a two-year manufacturer warranty, and the Acer Aspire only includes a one-year warranty. The non-SSD laptops in this category can differ greatly in hardware specifications. Some have larger screens, but slower processors, while others have smaller screens and faster processors.

Most Expensive

The most expensive Acer and HP laptops in early 2016 are the Acer Aspire S7-391-9839 Ultrabook, starting at roughly $1,600, and the HP EliteBook 8770w Mobile Workstation, starting at around $2,300. While the Aspire S7-391-9839 Ultrabook is fast, the HP EliteBook 8770w Mobile Workstation is considerably faster. Both laptops offer an Intel Core i7 processor; however, the HP laptop’s processor can provide additional horsepower and speed when multitasking or using processor-heavy applications such as Adobe Photoshop or AutoCAD. The Acer laptop, although slower than the HP, has a 256GB SSD and 13.3-inch screen, making it perfect for travel while still being fast. The HP laptop at this price has double the RAM and two hard drives (a 128GB SSD for its primary hard drive and a 500GB SATA hard drive for its secondary drive), a 17.3-inch LED display and includes a three-year manufacturer warranty. In this price range, HP has a far better selection of laptops in different sizes, speed and varying prices.

Five years ago, there was not much competition between computer manufacturers. If you were going to buy a laptop, it would have been an HP, Dell, Gateway or Apple. Now, there are tons of companies who make quality laptop computers. They all offer some quality products.

Apple

Apple computers have come a long way in the last couple of years. The biggest change that they made was the introduction of the MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. Rather then using Apple’s traditional Power PC processors, these laptops use Intel processors. This has made them much more popular in the eyes of consumers. By using Intel processors, Apple laptops can run both OS X and Windows. Apple laptops have received great reviews from major tech reviewers such as CNet, as well as great reviews from everyday consumers. Based upon overall ratings from resale sites such as Best Buy, Amazon and MacMall, Apple laptops have received some of the highest approvals. These sites feature ratings from actual product buyers, who tell their own pros and cons about the laptops.

Dell Inspiron Computers

Dell released their first Inspiron computer way back in 1998. Since then, Dell Inspiron laptops have continued to receive overall good reviews. One strong benefit of Inspiron computers is the price. Dell has some of the best bang for your buck laptop computers on the market. Also, because Dell is such a big company, their warranties are often hard to beat. Dell Inspiron computers have received great reviews by major tech sites such as CNet, as well as many good consumer reviews. If you were to scan product ratings for Inspiron laptops at sites such as Best Buy and Dell.com, you will find that most of the Inspiron laptops configurations receive a rating of at least 4 stars out of 5. Reviews from actual buyers are very helpful when determining product quality.

HP Laptops

HP laptops are another brand that has been around for a long time. The design of HP laptops used to be somewhat ugly. However, they introduced their DV laptop line in 2006, which was much more visually appealing. Since then, HP has continued to make quality, good-looking laptops at very reasonable prices. HP has also developed Lightscribe disc labeling which is a feature only available in their laptops. HP laptops have received a lot of praise from reviewers such as PC World and CNet. Also, many consumers who purchase HP laptops seem to be happy with their purchases as stated on sites such as BestBuy.com.

Asus EEE Laptops

Asus is a newer brand that has gained great credibility at a quick rate. Asus’s EEE laptop line is what brought the company to popularity in laptop computers. For a while, the Asus EEE laptops were the cheapest mainstream laptops on the market. They were also receiving great reviews, which is what brought much consumer attention to Asus. Since, then Asus has continued to manufacture the cheaper, more affordable EEE PCs along with higher end laptops with better specs. Reviews for Asus laptops on sites such as CNet and PC World have been good overall. Tech reviewers often praise Asus for delivering a quality laptop at a great price. Reviews from consumers have also been generally good.

Acer Laptops

Acer laptops have gained much attention lately due to the good reviews on their netbooks. Acer was one of the first companies to mass produce netbooks. Acer does not have as many laptops computers to choose from in their product line. However, the ones that they do have seem to be quality products. There are not a lot of editors picks for Acer laptops on sites such as CNet. However, many buyers seem very happy with their purchases. You can check out more reviews on sites such as Best Buy and PC World.

As of March 2017, Acer laptops are generally less expensive than their competition. That is one of the reasons why consumers are drawn to the simple, no-frills machines. But that doesn’t mean that Acer laptops are less reliable than other better-known laptop brands. Before purchasing an Acer laptop, ensure that it has all of the features and software that you need in your day-to-day computer usage. You may find that it has just the right amount of features, memory and functionality for the price.

Cost

As of 2017, most Acer laptops are priced between $400 and $800, but you can also find them on deep discounts during the holiday seasons and on sale throughout the year. The relatively low price can lead some to believe that Acer laptops are unreliable or lack basic features, but keeping the Acer brand in the lower-price range helps entice buyers past the less-than-recognizable name and lack of styling. Acer proves that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get a quality laptop.

Best For

It’s true that an Acer laptop may under-perform for the experienced gamer or techie, warns “Laptop” magazine. An Acer-brand laptop is ideal as an individual’s first laptop or a secondary computer to another laptop or desktop. While you may miss the customization options that other laptop brands offer, the focus on 2.5 hours of general battery life, large amounts of memory and general functionality are usually enough to please the casual computer user.

Reviews

Acer laptops are heavily reviewed by industry magazines and websites. In general, Acer laptops garner favorable reviews, although each outlet had similar complaints about the lack of styling and customization. However, high points were awarded by “PC” magazine and “PC World” for various Acer models’ keyboards, speed, memory, battery life and general ease of use.

Laptops are the middle ground of the computer world. Smaller than desktops and larger than tablets, they blend the two and provide a balance between portability and functionality. Even among laptops, there are varying sizes. Traveling professionals may prefer a compact 10-inch netbook, while movie enthusiasts prefer a big, HD 17-inch laptop. If you’re considering a laptop for your next computer purchase, knowing where they shine and fall short enables an educated purchasing decision.

Size

One of the largest advantages laptops hold over desktops is their size. While desktops have similar functionality, they’re difficult to move and traveling with them is highly impractical. While tablets offer more portability than laptops, the small form factor usually limits the quality of the components or their functionality. Netbooks are similar to tablets in that their small size and portability limits the quality, speed and size of components within. The size you see in a laptop’s description or name denotes the size of the screen when measured diagonally. So a 15.1-inch laptop has a 15.1-inch screen across the diagonal. Laptops offer portability and desktop-level functionality for most tasks. Like the porridge in the Goldilocks story, laptops aren’t too big to carry, but aren’t too small to truly limit functionality.

Price

While the price gap between desktops and laptops is getting smaller as technology gets less expensive, laptops are typically pricier. The smaller components required for a laptop often cost more than their larger desktop counterparts since more technology goes into delivering the same quality on a smaller physical scale. That said, if your budget constrains your purchasing options, you can still find inexpensive laptops with lower-end specifications.

Intended Use

For students, office workers and light or average computer users, laptops provide plenty of power, speed and functionality. For PC gamers or people using resource-intensive programs, a laptop might not be the right choice. While some manufacturers offer high-quality gaming laptops, they typically cost more than comparable desktop models.

RAM and Hard Drive

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a large factor in computer speed, while hard drive capacity determines how much space you have on the computer for files, programs, games, music and other data. While desktops used to offer much higher specs in these fields, the gap is closing as technology advances and gets less expensive. That said, it’s still common to find more RAM and a larger hard drive in a desktop when comparing desktops and laptops of similar price. As the two main components you can upgrade on a laptop, it may not be as big of an issue to you if you’re comfortable doing the upgrade yourself. Laptop hard drives are physically smaller than desktop hard drives, but both have high-end capacities in the Terabyte range, or 1,024GB, with the laptop version being a bit more expensive. While you can also upgrade RAM, the space limitations in laptops might limit the computer’s maximum capacity, where a similarly priced desktop might be capable of holding much more.

Customization

Laptops don’t offer nearly as much customization as most desktops. Since desktops are larger, they’re easier to open and alter, allowing you to swap parts and update components. While laptops typically give you access to the computer’s memory and hard drive, other components — like the processor, graphics card and cooling system — aren’t as easy to access and replace. This disadvantage means that when your laptop’s non-customizable components become obsolete, you may have to buy a new laptop to keep up with technology. With desktops, you can switch out the obsolete component by itself for much less money than a new computer, extending the life of your current hardware.

Included Features

While desktops require an external monitor, keyboard and mouse for navigation and use, laptops offer everything you need in one form factor. This advantage means you’ll have to buy less external peripherals, also reducing the clutter caused by the extra cords and pieces of hardware. Laptops also come with built-in speakers and often on-board webcams, further reducing the extra peripherals you’d need to buy if you got a desktop. While it depends on the model, many laptops include ports to connect them to your television or an external monitor when you do need a larger viewing area. If your laptop’s built-in peripherals don’t live up to your expectations, you can always buy external substitutes, like a wireless mouse or keyboard.

Laptops are fully functional computers that are designed for portability and convenience. When compared to a desktop tower computer, laptops are smaller, weigh less, have fewer components and consume less power. Despite this, laptops can often match the performance and price of comparable desktops. This makes laptops a great choice for college students and busy professionals who travel often.

Less Weight

Laptops weigh significantly less than that of desktop machines. Laptops are made into a single unit and they have the ability to fold in half for easy transport. Throughout the years, hardware manufacturers have been able to shrink the weight and dimensions of laptops. With the introduction of Ultrabooks, computer companies have created laptops weighing around three pounds. On the other hand, a desktop computer is often enclosed in a large, bulky shell, making its portability severely limited.

More Desk Space

Anyone who has owned a desktop computer is familiar with the work space problem these machines create. The computer itself will often take up a good percentage of your limited desk space, and its weight and awkward dimensions make it a chore to move around. A laptop will take up much less of your work space due to its smaller size. Laptops can also run on battery power, without the need for a power cable or separate power adapter.desktop computer is familiar with the work space problem these machines create.

Fewer Peripherals

Traditional desktop computers need a stand-alone monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers and wires to be fully functional. Laptop computers combine all of these separate peripherals into one device. The keyboard, monitor and speakers are built in to the computer itself and the trackpad acts as the mouse. A major advantage to no separate peripherals is the issue of complexity.

Travel and Portability

Laptops are made for portability due to their slim design and light weight. They can securely fit into almost any backpack and can be carried without much fatigue. Thus, you can easily take a laptop to locations most convenient to you, such as classrooms, coffee shops and hotels. Laptops also have a built-in Wi-Fi adapter that lets you connect to the Internet in places with a wireless network. are made for portability due to their slim design and light weight.

One of the biggest challenges laptop owners have is extending the life of their laptop batteries. The batteries of Dell laptops are generally long-lasting, but battery life will also depend on how a person uses his computer. An effective way of improving the condition of laptop batteries is recalibration. This is a must especially when the duration of your battery life has gotten shorter after a few months or years of usage. It is recommended that you recalibrate the battery of your Dell laptop every two months to maintain its good performance.

Connect the power adapter to your laptop (with the battery attached) then plug the other end to the electrical outlet. Check to make sure that it is charging properly.

Charge the battery completely. Monitor the battery indicator, which is usually found that the bottom of your computer screen, to check if the battery is already fully charged.

Plug off the power adapter and use the laptop until the battery is completely drained. To drain the battery faster, run several programs at once and keep the contrast of your screen to its highest levels. Turn off all power-saving features as well.

Make sure that the battery is totally drained by waiting for your laptop to shut off or go into sleep mode automatically because of very low battery charge.

Plug the power adapter again and charge the battery again completely. Once this is done, restore the power-saving features and adjust the contract settings of your screen to normal.

Mainframe – the term sounds like a relic from another era, decades before anyone even heard of smartphones or laptops.

But the appliance-sized computers that helped NASA put men on the moon are actually still widely used at big companies and government agencies – the devices store 80 percent of the world’s corporate data and handle $6 trillion in annual credit card transactions, according to IT company Ensono.

But what exactly are mainframe computers, and why haven’t they been replaced with newer types of machines?

What is a Mainframe?

Mainframes are powerful computer servers designed to handle large numbers of operations on big volumes of data simultaneously. They’re generally the central authority to which other computers connect to execute transactions, like bank transfers, credit card purchases or airline ticket operations. A mainframe released by IBM in 2015 is said to be able to process 2.5 billion transactions a day.

They trace their ancestry back to the System/360, a computer first released by IBM in 1964. It introduced some of the features we take for granted in computers today, like being able to share data across multiple versions of computing hardware, and being able to do multiple types of tasks on the same machine – back then, that generally meant being able to handle both scientific computation and business math on the same type of hardware.

IBM, which makes the vast majority of new mainframes today as part of its “z Systems” line, says the term itself likely comes from the huge metal boxes, some as large in area as a house, that were used to hold the early machines. Now, the computers are a more manageable size – around the scale of a tall refrigerator.

Consistency and Reliability

Mainframe computers are designed to be extremely reliable, not just speedy. They typically have redundant versions of hardware components like disk drives and electrical power supplies, so even if a component fails, the computer can continue to run. They generally also have the ability to add computing power to a given task as needed in essentially real-time, making them well suited to handle spikes in workloads without going down.

At the same time, they’re renowned for what’s called “backward compatibility,” meaning that software created years, or even decades, ago can often still run on today’s mainframes. That’s in contrast to PCs or cellphones, where it can often be impossible to run programs bought for older machines without a lot of specialized work.

That backward compatibility is important for the enormous banks, insurance companies, airlines and other companies that have used the systems since the middle of 20th century. Having to rewrite the computer code that handles the world’s critical transactions in order to run on newer styles of computers would not only be costly, it would also be risky for these large businesses, who will quickly incur bad publicity if the new machines aren’t as reliable as the old. While some businesses have migrated tasks to newer styles of computer hardware and software, many are happy to stick with the ultra-reliable devices. And while mainframe programs may have interfaces that look like they were taken from a 1980s computer hacking movie, but the companies that rely on them know they still work perfectly fine.

Recruiting New Talent

One challenge mainframe-heavy companies can face, though, is hiring engineers and programmers who are familiar with the machines. For at least a decade, computing magazines have reported that techies fresh out of college just aren’t interested in working with the old line of machines. Even in the 1990s, some companies were pull older programmers out of retirement to ensure their mainframe software was ready for the year 2000, when programs designed to store years using two digits rather than four would malfunction.

But mainframe hardware and software companies have responded by offering training and incentives to young people willing to become experts in the machines, as the devices continue to be vital to so much of the economy.

It seems like every time you turn around there is a new data breach with experts warning everyone to change their passwords. This means not just changing your password once for every website and online service you use, it usually means changing it on your home computer, your work computer, your smartphone, and your tablet if you own one.

When it comes to online security, one of the best things you can do today is to use a password manager. Not will you never need to memorize dozens of passwords, you don’t even need to know what they are. A good password manager creates passwords for you, fills them in and remembers them across multiple devices.

The Myth of Strong Passwords

A few years ago, a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters and a number or two were all you needed to create a strong password, provided you didn’t use a name or a word found in the dictionary. That just isn’t true anymore. Today’s password cracking programs can hack most eight-digit passwords in a minute or less. If you use something clever – and common – like, paSSword, or trustno1, it can be cracked in milliseconds.

What Makes a Strong Password

The most important aspect of a strong password today is its length, regardless of what characters you use. A password like mulberrystreet, which contains 13 letters is much stronger than even a complex password like 9L*rtPq1. The first would take over 50 years to crack – according to the website How Secure Is My Password? – while the shorter password would take a few hours. A series of 20 random characters would take the same software about a billion years. If you used a password that was 22 characters long, every star in the galaxy would burn out and grow cold before a hacker’s computer could figure it out.software about a billion years. If you used a password that was 22 characters long, every star in the galaxy would burn out and grow cold before a hacker’s computer could figure it out.

Using a Password Manager

A password manager is a small program you install on your computer and other web-accessible devices that stores passwords for every website you use. On your computer, it is usually a browser plugin, while on a tablet or smartphone, it’s a small app.computer and other web-accessible devices that stores passwords for every website you use. On your computer, it is usually a browser plugin, while on a tablet or smartphone, it’s a small app.

You need to remember only one password – the one that opens the password manager. When you go to a website, it fills in the username and password for you automatically. If you want to change your website password or create an account on a new website, it will generate one for you automatically, usually between 20 and 22 characters long. Your login information is kept encrypted and is updated between all of your devices automatically as soon as you connect to the internet. Some are free, while others require a small annual fee, while most offer a free version with payment required for advanced features.devices automatically as soon as you connect to the internet. Some are free, while others require a small annual fee, while most offer a free version with payment required for advanced features.

Using the Cloud Vs. Local Storage

Before choosing a password manager, you should first decide whether or not you are comfortable with your passwords being stored in the cloud, or if you would prefer they be stored only on your devices. When companies refer to the cloud, of course, they mean their own servers. While the majority of password managers do keep this information encrypted, it is a matter of comfort and personal preference. Millennials, for example, are more trusting of cloud-based services, while older generations may prefer having their information stored on their own devices. KeePass, 1Password and SplashID offer local storage, while Dashlane and LastPass use encrypted cloud-based storage.devices. When companies refer to the cloud, of course, they mean their own servers.

Dashlane

Another another password manager that gives you an option between storing passwords locally or online is Dashlane. It uses a two-step authentication process to register each of your devices, using your master password and an email confirmation.

KeePass

Keepass is an open source software project, which means it is free to use, but also may require some technical know-how to use all of its features. For example, to syncrhonize your account across mutlipled devices, you need to install a plug-in. However, it also has plugins to do things like change the encryption algorithm it uses or to write your own automation scripts.
