26/8/2016 - ASUS N71JQ Notebook Battery

If you're looking for extras such as an SD card reader or an HDMI port, you're out of luck, because aside from the three USB-C connectors, the only other port is a 3.5mm headphone/mic jack.The Spectre also features an HD webcam flanked on each side by a mic, which results in crisp audio for video calls and voice chat. Unfortunately, the 1280 x 720 images the cam captures aren't quite as sharp. Even in our brightly lit office, the webcam's photos looked a bit grainy and generally not up to the quality you'd like to see on a premium device.When it comes to performance, HP simply isn't willing to compromise. The base model features an Intel Core i5 CPU, but my review unit had a full 2.5-GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. This made everything feel snappy, from sorting entries in a spreadsheet to everyday multitasking such as streaming videos with 15 or more browser tabs open in the background.

On Geekbench 3, which measures overall performance, our Spectre config scored 7,026. This topped numbers from all of its competitors, including systems such as the Core i7-powered Lenovo Yoga 900 (6,264), the Core i5-powered Dell XPS 13 (6,391), and the Core m3-powered Apple MacBook (5,906).The Spectre also blitzed our spreadsheet test, as it sorted 20,000 names and addresses in OpenOffice in just 3 minutes and 56 seconds, faster than both the Yoga 900 (4:18) and XPS 13 (4:38). However, the Apple MacBook was even faster, with a time of 3:11.

The one area where performance dipped was in storage speeds, where the Spectre was just good, not great. When asked to duplicate a DVD's worth of mixed-media files, the Spectre's 256GB SSD finished in 27 seconds, for a transfer rate of 195.9 MBps. Both the Apple MacBook (355.9 MBps) and XPS 13 (231.33 MBps) were faster thanks to their PCIe-NVMe SSDs, while Lenovo's Yoga 900 trailed slightly behind, with a speed of 181.7 MBps.While the Spectre isn't meant for serious gaming, with a score of 801 on 3DMark's Fire Strike graphics test, performance from its Intel 520 HD Graphics was almost 25 percent higher than an average ultraportable (645). This gives you the freedom to do some light video editing or even a bit of gaming in less demanding titles such as League of Legends, as long as you don't mind turning the settings down.

From the outset, my main concern with the Spectre's superthin design is that it leaves little room for batteries. Even though HP did some innovative engineering by splitting the battery into four separate sections, the Spectre lasted a disappointing 6 hours and 13 minutes on the Laptop Battery Test, which involves continuous surfing over Wi-Fi. The average for ultraportable laptop is almost 1 hour and 45 minutes longer. And competitors -- including the nontouch Dell XPS 13 (11:54), 12-inch Apple MacBook (9:38) and even Lenovo's Yoga 900 (7:57) -- offer significantly longer run times.

The Spectre isn't bogged down with a lot of bloat, though it does have a trial of McAfee LiveSafe. HP's Windows 10 laptop features a handful of HP utilities, such as its Support Assistant App.HP backs the Spectre with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. See how the company fared in our tech support showdown and best and worst brand ratings. The Spectre starts at $1,170 for a configuration with a 13.3-inch nontouch display, Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. There's also our $1,250 review configuration featuring a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, and a $1,500 model with an even larger 512GB solid state drive.

At any of these configurations, HP's laptop offers more value than Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air and 12-inch MacBook. Both Apple systems offer significantly better battery lives, and the 12-inch model has a sharper screen than the Spectre, but they offer lesser specs for the money. The 12-inch MacBook starts at $1,299 with a slow-footed Core m3 CPU, only one port, and the same 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD the Spectre provides, all for $130 less. The 13-inch MacBook Air, which is likely to be updated soon, offers a Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB PCIe SSD, all for $1,199, but it has a mediocre 1440 x 900 resolution.

Dell's XPS 13 is the Spectre's main competitor, and at $1,150 for almost the same specs and price, it's a worthy contender. While it might not be as thin, its bezel-free Infinity display still looks stunning, it has a wider variety of ports, including one Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3, and with a time of 11:54 on our battery test, the nontouch version crushes the Spectre in battery life.With world-class good looks, boundary-pushing thinness, a brilliant display and top-notch performance, the HP Spectre has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, those highlights are countered by weak battery life, hot exhausts and a shortage of creature comforts like SD card readers or a touch-enabled display, which make comparisons between the Spectre and high maintenance hypercars hard to deny. Thankfully, unlike its road-going spirit animals, the Spectre is pretty reasonably priced, starting at just $1,170. The Dell XPS 13 remains our favorite notebook overall because of its long battery life, nearly bezel-free screen and strong port selection. However, the Spectre is the new leader in cool, and a strong choice for anyone who wants the ultimate in ultraportable style.

As great as Apple’s tablets, smartphones and computers are, nothing’s perfect. All hardware eventually fails. Your iPhone or MacBook can get lost or stolen. Files can be corrupted. If any of these things happen at a time when backing your data up to the cloud isn’t an option, you’re gonna have a bad day. For a guy like me, who travels as he works, one bad day’s worth of lost data can add up to a ton of lost revenue.

That’s why I always pack some additional hardware to make sure that I can back up my files, no matter where I roam. And if the external drives I rely on also allow me to bring a long a whack of music and movies to keep me occupied while I’m on a plane or train? All the better! Depending on whether I bring my 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display or my 9.7-inch iPad Pro with me, you’ll find one of two backup solutions jammed into my backpack: LaCie’s Rugged RAID 4TB for my laptop, or SanDisk’s 200GB Connect Wireless Stick to use with my iPad and iPhone.

LaCie's Rugged RAID 4TB can be configured as RAID-0 for a full 4TB of storage, or RAID-1 for a 2TB volume that backs itself up to the other drive.
As its name suggests, LaCie’s Rugged RAID 4TB comes packing four terabytes of physical storage, spanning across two 2TB hard drives. Depending on your needs, you can opt to use all 4TB in a RAID–0 configuration, or, if you’re paranoid about your data like I am, set the Rugged RAID up to function as a RAID–1 device. A RAID–1 will write your data to one of the device’s 2TB drives and duplicate it on the second one, essentially backing up your Mac’s backup.

Measuring 1.3 by 3.6 by 5.8 inches and weighing in at 1.2 pounds, the Rugged RAID is a little chunky for a portable drive, but the thing is built like a tank. With its beefy enclosure and iconic orange rubber bumper, it comes with an Ingress Protection rating of 54, meaning it has limited protection from dust and water, can survive a drop (while not operating) from a height of five feet, and can withstand up to one ton of pressure. If you’re interested in testing the latter, be my guest: Drive over it with your car and let me know how it works out. I’m willing to take LaCie’s word for it. LaCie’s Rugged RAID can connect via Thunderbolt or with a USB 3.0 cable. You’ll need to use its AC adapter for the latter, though.
Ideally, you should connect the Rugged RAID to your laptop via the portable drive’s integrated Thunderbolt cable. Doing so allows you to operate the Rugged RAID via bus power and achieve transfer speeds of up to 240MB/s when using it as a RAID–0 device.

No Thunderbolt port? Don’t sweat it. You can also connect the Rugged RAID to your computer via USB 3.0. Unfortunately, going this route means that bus power is out the window. To power the Rugged RAID’s drives, you’ll need to use its included power adapter.In my travels, I’ve found that the Rugged RAID handles file transfers like a champ. The movies and music I store on it are quickly shuttled to my iPhone and iPad via iTunes and are ready to watch almost ran instantly on my computer. It also makes quick work of RAW photos as well as Adobe Lightroom and Time Machine backups.

Priced at $379 on Amazon (or $399 list), the LaCie Rugged RAID doesn’t come cheap. But you’ll be hard pressed to find a more reliable, rough and tumble backup solution. Having one on hand makes me feel loads better about my spendings months on end in Mexico and Central America next year, where internet connectivity will be iffy, and I’ll need a reliable way to ensure that my photos and documents will survive long enough to find their way to my editors. The SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick comes in multiple sizes, from 16GB up to 200GB. Until late last year, I was in the habit of packing Seagate’s 1TB Wireless Plus mobile hard drive to use with my iPad. But its size, weight, and lousy app interface left me feeling like I was almost better off bringing my laptop with me instead of just rolling with my iPad. Happily, I stumbled upon the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick and never looked back.

Available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 200GB capacities, the Wireless Stick looks like a USB stick because it is: Pop off the device’s end cap and you can plug its USB 2.0 adapter into you computer to transfer files or charge it. I know, USB 2.0 transfer speeds? Not cool. But you know what is cool? Being able to use the same storage stick to simultaneously connect, wirelessly, to up three iOS or Android devices at once, allowing them to share files or back up files, or stream movies and music.The aptly named Wireless Stick does this by creating its own Wi-Fi network. All you have to do is download the companion app to your phone or tablet, push a button on the side of the Wireless Stick to start up the device’s hotspot, connect to said hotspot, and boom, you’re in business. The Wireless Stick’s wireless range is surprisingly strong for a device that only measures 3 by 0.75 by 0.375 inches in size. I found that I still able to access the Wireless Stick’s contents up to 40 feet away in a house packed with mid-century furniture and wireless electronics. Not bad!
