Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh Portable Charger Review
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Samsung Ac Adapter
When it comes to battery life for our mobile devices we could always use a little more. That is where the impressive Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh portable battery and power pack comes into play. These days our Android and iOS smartphones and tablets are getting bigger, faster, and more power hungry, but battery advances have remained stagnant.
It’s this that has caused an increase in popularity of portable chargers or battery packs for mobile devices. We’ve used plenty of popular brands in the past like Anker, TYLT, MyCharge and more, but a relatively new device from Lenmar packs enough juice for all of your devices. If you’re like me, you probably carry around at least one smartphone, and possibly a tablet too. Being able to always have additional battery while on the go is crucial with adapter such as Samsung RV411 Ac Adapter, Samsung 300E Ac Adapter, Samsung RV420 Ac Adapter, Samsung Q460 Ac Adapter, Samsung RV520 Ac Adapter, Samsung N220 Ac Adapter, Samsung E251 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP-NB30 Ac Adapter, Samsung AD-9019 Ac Adapter, Samsung NP900X3A Ac Adapter, Samsung Q1 Ac Adapter, Samsung Q210 Ac Adapter, and this huge power pack aims to deliver.
The Lenmar Mutant power pack for smartphones and tablets has a huge 20,800 mAh lithium-ion battery and four USB ports that delivers enough power to charge your tablet, smartphone, some accessories and more, all at the same time. We’ve had a chance to enjoy Lenmar’s relatively small power pack over the past few weeks and wanted to share our thoughts. Read on for our Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery review.
While it’s still the cold months for many around the United States, the summer adventures will be here soon enough and that means you’ll probably be looking for some external battery packs to keep your iPhone, iPad Air 2, or your newest Samsung smartphone full of battery all day long. Whether it’s a day at the beach, or a weekend camping trip, this power pack has enough juice to last the entire time. This can be for yourself, or one device to charge every smartphone for the entire family.
For those who aren’t too familiar with battery packs, they’re essentially the same type of lithium-ion battery inside of our smartphones and tablets but added into a device that usually has a USB output so we can connect our devices included USB cable and charge a device on the go. Basically, you can charge your phone or tablet with it. Only with the Lenmar Mutant it has four USB ports, allowing you to simultaneously charge four devices at once.
As an example, this one device will be able to charge your iPhone 6 nearly 10 times, or two full charges of your iPad Air 2. This means you won’t have to search for an outlet while traveling for work or pleasure, or when you don’t have a wall outlet while camping. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a large 2,800 mAh battery that usually lasts most users an entire day. Doing the math here, the almost 21,000 mAh of battery inside the Lenmar should technically be able to fully charge a Galaxy S5 nearly 7 times. That’s enough to last all week!
These days portable power banks or chargers are a dime a dozen, and all over Amazon with cheap batteries that never live up to the rating, but so far our experience with the Lenmar has been stellar. Obviously the 20,800 mAh rating is just that, a rating, but I charged my 3,220 mAh Nexus 6 five times over the past week, and the Lenmar Mutant still has one bar remaining, and enough battery to probably charge it again. Meaning that battery rating seems fairly accurate. What makes it even better though, is the Lenmar Mutant has high output USB ports. This allows for fast charging times, rather than slow charging you get from some of the cheaper alternatives.
There are two 2.4A USB ports for charging an iPad, Android tablets, and bigger smartphones. Then you also get two 1A USB ports for charging smaller USB devices like older iPhones, Android devices, your smartwatch, Vaper or e-cigarettes, or anything that takes a charge via a USB cable. That’s four devices that can be charged, all at the same time. My only complaint about the Lenmar thus far is that they only provide one extremely short 2ft micro-USB cord in the box, and no Apple lightning cable. Meaning you’ll need to bring your own.
This week I’ve been using the Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery to charge both my Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus 6 while on the go, and it still had some juice left for my backup Samsung Galaxy S5. It’s nice being able to carry one device that will charge everything, vs having a myriad of chargers or cables. This one device does it all.
At one point I had my Nexus 9, Nexus 6, Galaxy S5, and Moto 360 all charging on the Lenmar, but that will quickly drain all the juice. The design is pretty simple and has a soft-touch matte rubber black frame, and it feels nice in the hand. What impressed me the most about the Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh battery is I had four devices charging at once, and it was barely warm to the touch. Other chargers start to get really warm, but that wasn’t the case here.
Overall the build quality is extremely good, the ports are durable, and the 4-bar LED notification light is pretty accurate regarding battery. Tap the power button and you’ll see how much battery life is remaining. This is in 25% increments. If you hit the battery meter and have two bars left, this means you have at least 50% battery, or roughly 10,000 mAh of juice. Enough to charge any smartphone 3-4 times, if not more.
I’ll admit it, the Lenmar certainly isn’t small, but it’s fairly lightweight and I’d rather have one big battery than have to carry around two smaller 10,000 mAh options from the competition. This is one less device in my bag, which is fine by me. I’m always carrying around at least one smartphone, probably a tablet, and at some point need to charge my Android Wear smartwatch or fitness band. Having the Lenmar in my truck always full of battery has been a welcomed edition to my tech-filled lifestyle.
Many portable battery packs not only charge your devices over USB, but they themselves are charged up by a USB port too. Some of the larger packs can take between 4-5 hours to charge. This is both a pro and a con, as you don’t need another cord, but the Lenmar has a dedicated AC charger to power it up as quickly as possible. They include four international adapters for those who travel out of country frequently.
In the end it certainly isn’t the most compact “portable” charger I’ve ever used, the one small and low quality USB cable that was provided could be better, but the important thing here is battery life. The Lenmar Mutant is a device I’ll always have when I travel or go to the family cabin to ensure I’m never stuck without any battery in my gadgets. It’s a bit pricy being $149, but being able to charge four devices at a time makes it worthwhile. If some of the smaller options on Amazon don’t fit your need, give the Mutant a try, you’ll be glad you did.

Toshiba's Portege Z20t: Laptop, Tablet, 17 Hours Of Battery
Toshiba's Portege Z20t: Laptop, Tablet, 17 Hours Of Battery
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
The Portege Z20t is built around a 12.5-inch, 1920x1080pixel multi-touch screen, and it’s that half of the laptop that unclips to transform into a properly portable tablet — although you don’t necessarily have to compromise on connectivity, since the tablet has microSD, microHDMI and microUSB ports. Attach the keyboard dock — one unified clip mechanism controls the whole thing, although you can lock the two together using a switch on the side — and you get two full-size USB 3.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet, full-size HDMI and VGA.
The most inventive thing about the Z20t, though, is its battery management. The tablet portion has a 9-hour battery, and its own power connector, but the keyboard dock adds another 8 hours of life for a total of 17 — enough for the longest of international airplane trips. It also has its own power socket for the bundled travel-sized AC adapter with like Toshiba Satellite X200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba G15 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium A60 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A100 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Tecra L2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M20 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M65 Ac Adapter, Toshiba terca 8000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1900 Ac Adapter. Toshiba’s approach to charging is inventive and actually makes perfect sense — the tablet’s internal battery gets first priority for charging even when you have the power connector attached to the keyboard, so if you wanted to detach the screen and take it to a meeting you’d be confident of having as much battery life as possible.
I actually have a Portege Z20t with me right here, and it’s like a Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro on steroids. For one thing, it’s strong, super strong. There’s barely any flex to the body of the tablet, the keyboard is equally strong with only a very small amount of buckling when you’re typing away, and the locking hinge mechanism is both secure and unobtrusive — none of the double-sided clamp of the Z10t.
Using Intel’s latest, greatest and most energy efficient Core M processors, the Z20t is fanless, too, despite housing every component except the add-on battery in the chassis of the tablet. Passive cooling means it’s warm but not hot during use, and any potential hot spots are dissipated across the entire rear of the tablet — during its fast charging, for example, the entire right half warms up rather than any specific area. It’s a productivity machine first and foremost, and that means 8GB of RAM and integrated Intel HD 5300 graphics.
Toshiba’s Australian pricing for the Portege Z20t starts at $1672 and ranges up to $2310, depending on which Core M processor spec and how much internal storage you want to spring for. The mid-range Core M-5Y51 with 256GB SSD seems to be the smart middle ground at the moment, although you might want the more powerful Core M-5Y71 if you’re doing some serious productivity work or photo/video editing.

Dell introduces new enterprise-class wireless access points for SMBs
Dell introduces new enterprise-class wireless access points for SMBs
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Dell has introduced the new SonicPoint AC Series of wireless access points, which supports the high-performance IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard to deliver almost three times that of the last wireless standard (802.11n).
SonicPoints combines with deep packet inspection security from Dell SonicWALL next-generation firewalls to form a comprehensive wireless network security solution.
This combination enables small- and mid-sized organizations to leverage enterprise-class wireless performance and security, while dramatically simplifying wireless network setup and management for a low total cost of ownership.
“When we access a wireless network, we expect it to be high-performing and secure — whether that network originates from a coffee shop or a Fortune 100 company — and this increased expectation puts a lot of pressure on smaller businesses to provide an exceptional wireless experience that is secure,” said Patrick Sweeney, executive director, Dell Security.
The SonicPoint AC Series includes the SonicPoint ACe, which features dual radio functionality, six removable external antennas, dimmable LEDs and the flexibility to receive power over an AC adapter with such as Dell Inspiron 15 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1545 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1750 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1210 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1000 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1200 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 7000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 3500 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 9200 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D620 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D820 AC Adapter, Dell XPS M1210 AC Adapteror 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector, and the SonicPoint ACi, which has dual radios, internally housed antennas, dimmable LEDs and receives power through an 802.3at PoE Injector.
This enterprise-level performance enables WiFi-ready devices to connect from greater distances, and use bandwidth-intensive mobile apps, such as video and voice, in higher-density environments with virtually no signal degradation.
Features
In addition to intrusion prevention, SSL decryption and inspection, content filtering and application control technologies that provide protection against the latest threats, the Dell SonicWALL Wireless Network Security solution also integrates additional security-related features including Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention, Virtual Access Points (VAPs), Wireless Guest Services, and Cloud Access Control.
Dell SonicWALL Wireless Network Security solutions greatly simplify deployment and setup, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Integrated into every Dell SonicWALL firewall is a wireless controller that auto-detects and auto-provisions SonicPoints across the network.
Ongoing management and monitoring of SonicPoints and security are handled centrally through the Dell SonicWALL firewall, providing network administrators with a single pane of glass from which to manage all aspects of the network – both wired and wireless.
In addition, for those organizations that have a substantial long-term investment in the 802.11n wireless standard, the Dell SonicPoint N2 features high-speed 802.11n wireless connectivity, dual radios, six external antennas and all the other advantages offered by Dell SonicWALL Wireless Network Security solutions.

Asus VivoMini UN62 Review
Asus VivoMini UN62 Review
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Asus Ac Adapter
We've said before that the days of hulking desktop towers are pretty much over. Most people will never need space for add-on cards, huge power supplies and multiple hard drives. With even reasonable specifications, cooling does not require huge fans anymore. Optical drives are dead, wireless connectivity is good enough for most purposes, and everything else can be plugged in via USB or done online. Unless you are a gamer or creative professional with specific needs, you can be happy with a PC like this, which is only a little bigger than the average restaurant takeaway box.
Asus is getting serious about its own line of miniature desktop PCs. Boxes this size used to come with early Intel Atom processors which with adapter like Asus Eee PC 1015PD AC Adapter, Asus B43 AC Adapter, Acer ADP-65JH DB AC Adapter, Acer ADP-60NH AC Adapter, Asus Eee PC 1016 AC Adapter, Asus A6 AC Adapter, Asus U5 AC Adapter, Asus ADP 65JH CB AC Adapter, Asus ADP-36EH AC Adapter, Asus A8 AC Adapter, Asus U5F AC Adapter, Asus Eee PC 1215 AC Adapterwere only good enough for basic productivity. They were considered weak and sub-par compared to full-sized desktops. Those days are gone - in fact with laptops displacing desktops everywhere, it should be no surprise that companies are taking the same parts designed for small spaces and coming up with boxes without their own screens and keyboards that are even smaller and lighter.
The VivoMini UN62 is understated yet good looking. At 131mm square and 42mm tall, it's similar in size to Zotac's Zbox mini-PCs. It's smaller (but taller) than even the current-generation Mac Mini. In fact, it's only just a little bigger than a standard internal DVD-RW drive and looks more like a router or external hard drive than a fully functional PC. At 1kg, you can pretty much carry it around anywhere.
The VivoMini made of dark plastic and will look at home on any desk or even next to your living room TV. It's slightly bowl-shaped; tapering towards the bottom, with rubber legs that allow it to take air in without obstruction. There are also mounting points for the included VESA bracket on the bottom, so you can hang the VivoMini off the back of an LCD monitor.
The top has a silver Asus logo right in the centre of a pattern of fine concentric rings, very similar to what we've seen on the company's ZenFone range. It looks great when it catches the light at an angle. There's a power button right in the middle of the front panel, with an integrated white power LED that thankfully isn't distractingly bright. There's also a second indicator slightly to its left, for some reason.
The right edge is blank but there are ports all around the other sides. On the rear panel, there's a DC power inlet, full-sized HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs, two USB 3.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and a 3.5mm headset socket. Hot air is exhausted out through a vent running above all the ports. There are two more USB 3.0 ports on the left in addition to an SD card slot and a Kensington security lock slot.
The modern display outputs allow you to run three screens simultaneously (using a DisplayPort daisy-chain). The two USB ports on the left allow fast charging. In short, there's more than enough for most connectivity needs. We'd suggest going with wireless peripherals as far as possible to keep things looking good.

Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh Portable Charger Review
Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh Portable Charger Review
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Apple Ac Adapter
When it comes to battery life for our mobile devices we could always use a little more. That is where the impressive Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh portable battery and power pack comes into play. These days our Android and iOS smartphones and tablets are getting bigger, faster, and more power hungry, but battery advances have remained stagnant.
It’s this that has caused an increase in popularity of portable chargers or battery packs for mobile devices. We’ve used plenty of popular brands in the past like Anker, TYLT, MyCharge and more, but a relatively new device from Lenmar packs enough juice for all of your devices. If you’re like me, you probably carry around at least one smartphone, and possibly a tablet too. Being able to always have additional battery while on the go is crucial with like Apple A1021 AC Adapter, Apple A1222 AC Adapter, Apple M8942 AC Adapter, Apple a1036 AC Adapter, Apple Magsafe AC Adapter, Apple M8942 AC Adapter, Apple A1021 AC Adapter, Apple A1184 AC Adapter, Apple A1172 AC Adapter, Apple A1222 AC Adapter, Apple A1330 AC Adapter, Apple M8482 AC Adapter, and this huge power pack aims to deliver.
The Lenmar Mutant power pack for smartphones and tablets has a huge 20,800 mAh lithium-ion battery and four USB ports that delivers enough power to charge your tablet, smartphone, some accessories and more, all at the same time. We’ve had a chance to enjoy Lenmar’s relatively small power pack over the past few weeks and wanted to share our thoughts. Read on for our Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery review.
While it’s still the cold months for many around the United States, the summer adventures will be here soon enough and that means you’ll probably be looking for some external battery packs to keep your iPhone, iPad Air 2, or your newest Samsung smartphone full of battery all day long. Whether it’s a day at the beach, or a weekend camping trip, this power pack has enough juice to last the entire time. This can be for yourself, or one device to charge every smartphone for the entire family.
For those who aren’t too familiar with battery packs, they’re essentially the same type of lithium-ion battery inside of our smartphones and tablets but added into a device that usually has a USB output so we can connect our devices included USB cable and charge a device on the go. Basically, you can charge your phone or tablet with it. Only with the Lenmar Mutant it has four USB ports, allowing you to simultaneously charge four devices at once.
As an example, this one device will be able to charge your iPhone 6 nearly 10 times, or two full charges of your iPad Air 2. This means you won’t have to search for an outlet while traveling for work or pleasure, or when you don’t have a wall outlet while camping. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a large 2,800 mAh battery that usually lasts most users an entire day. Doing the math here, the almost 21,000 mAh of battery inside the Lenmar should technically be able to fully charge a Galaxy S5 nearly 7 times. That’s enough to last all week!
These days portable power banks or chargers are a dime a dozen, and all over Amazon with cheap batteries that never live up to the rating, but so far our experience with the Lenmar has been stellar. Obviously the 20,800 mAh rating is just that, a rating, but I charged my 3,220 mAh Nexus 6 five times over the past week, and the Lenmar Mutant still has one bar remaining, and enough battery to probably charge it again. Meaning that battery rating seems fairly accurate. What makes it even better though, is the Lenmar Mutant has high output USB ports. This allows for fast charging times, rather than slow charging you get from some of the cheaper alternatives.
There are two 2.4A USB ports for charging an iPad, Android tablets, and bigger smartphones. Then you also get two 1A USB ports for charging smaller USB devices like older iPhones, Android devices, your smartwatch, Vaper or e-cigarettes, or anything that takes a charge via a USB cable. That’s four devices that can be charged, all at the same time. My only complaint about the Lenmar thus far is that they only provide one extremely short 2ft micro-USB cord in the box, and no Apple lightning cable. Meaning you’ll need to bring your own.
This week I’ve been using the Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery to charge both my Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus 6 while on the go, and it still had some juice left for my backup Samsung Galaxy S5. It’s nice being able to carry one device that will charge everything, vs having a myriad of chargers or cables. This one device does it all.
At one point I had my Nexus 9, Nexus 6, Galaxy S5, and Moto 360 all charging on the Lenmar, but that will quickly drain all the juice. The design is pretty simple and has a soft-touch matte rubber black frame, and it feels nice in the hand. What impressed me the most about the Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh battery is I had four devices charging at once, and it was barely warm to the touch. Other chargers start to get really warm, but that wasn’t the case here.
Overall the build quality is extremely good, the ports are durable, and the 4-bar LED notification light is pretty accurate regarding battery. Tap the power button and you’ll see how much battery life is remaining. This is in 25% increments. If you hit the battery meter and have two bars left, this means you have at least 50% battery, or roughly 10,000 mAh of juice. Enough to charge any smartphone 3-4 times, if not more.
I’ll admit it, the Lenmar certainly isn’t small, but it’s fairly lightweight and I’d rather have one big battery than have to carry around two smaller 10,000 mAh options from the competition. This is one less device in my bag, which is fine by me. I’m always carrying around at least one smartphone, probably a tablet, and at some point need to charge my Android Wear smartwatch or fitness band. Having the Lenmar in my truck always full of battery has been a welcomed edition to my tech-filled lifestyle.
Many portable battery packs not only charge your devices over USB, but they themselves are charged up by a USB port too. Some of the larger packs can take between 4-5 hours to charge. This is both a pro and a con, as you don’t need another cord, but the Lenmar has a dedicated AC charger to power it up as quickly as possible. They include four international adapters for those who travel out of country frequently.
n the end it certainly isn’t the most compact “portable” charger I’ve ever used, the one small and low quality USB cable that was provided could be better, but the important thing here is battery life. The Lenmar Mutant is a device I’ll always have when I travel or go to the family cabin to ensure I’m never stuck without any battery in my gadgets. It’s a bit pricy being $149, but being able to charge four devices at a time makes it worthwhile. If some of the smaller options on Amazon don’t fit your need, give the Mutant a try, you’ll be glad you did.
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Apple Ac Adapter
When it comes to battery life for our mobile devices we could always use a little more. That is where the impressive Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh portable battery and power pack comes into play. These days our Android and iOS smartphones and tablets are getting bigger, faster, and more power hungry, but battery advances have remained stagnant.
It’s this that has caused an increase in popularity of portable chargers or battery packs for mobile devices. We’ve used plenty of popular brands in the past like Anker, TYLT, MyCharge and more, but a relatively new device from Lenmar packs enough juice for all of your devices. If you’re like me, you probably carry around at least one smartphone, and possibly a tablet too. Being able to always have additional battery while on the go is crucial with like Apple A1021 AC Adapter, Apple A1222 AC Adapter, Apple M8942 AC Adapter, Apple a1036 AC Adapter, Apple Magsafe AC Adapter, Apple M8942 AC Adapter, Apple A1021 AC Adapter, Apple A1184 AC Adapter, Apple A1172 AC Adapter, Apple A1222 AC Adapter, Apple A1330 AC Adapter, Apple M8482 AC Adapter, and this huge power pack aims to deliver.
The Lenmar Mutant power pack for smartphones and tablets has a huge 20,800 mAh lithium-ion battery and four USB ports that delivers enough power to charge your tablet, smartphone, some accessories and more, all at the same time. We’ve had a chance to enjoy Lenmar’s relatively small power pack over the past few weeks and wanted to share our thoughts. Read on for our Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery review.
While it’s still the cold months for many around the United States, the summer adventures will be here soon enough and that means you’ll probably be looking for some external battery packs to keep your iPhone, iPad Air 2, or your newest Samsung smartphone full of battery all day long. Whether it’s a day at the beach, or a weekend camping trip, this power pack has enough juice to last the entire time. This can be for yourself, or one device to charge every smartphone for the entire family.
For those who aren’t too familiar with battery packs, they’re essentially the same type of lithium-ion battery inside of our smartphones and tablets but added into a device that usually has a USB output so we can connect our devices included USB cable and charge a device on the go. Basically, you can charge your phone or tablet with it. Only with the Lenmar Mutant it has four USB ports, allowing you to simultaneously charge four devices at once.
As an example, this one device will be able to charge your iPhone 6 nearly 10 times, or two full charges of your iPad Air 2. This means you won’t have to search for an outlet while traveling for work or pleasure, or when you don’t have a wall outlet while camping. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a large 2,800 mAh battery that usually lasts most users an entire day. Doing the math here, the almost 21,000 mAh of battery inside the Lenmar should technically be able to fully charge a Galaxy S5 nearly 7 times. That’s enough to last all week!
These days portable power banks or chargers are a dime a dozen, and all over Amazon with cheap batteries that never live up to the rating, but so far our experience with the Lenmar has been stellar. Obviously the 20,800 mAh rating is just that, a rating, but I charged my 3,220 mAh Nexus 6 five times over the past week, and the Lenmar Mutant still has one bar remaining, and enough battery to probably charge it again. Meaning that battery rating seems fairly accurate. What makes it even better though, is the Lenmar Mutant has high output USB ports. This allows for fast charging times, rather than slow charging you get from some of the cheaper alternatives.
There are two 2.4A USB ports for charging an iPad, Android tablets, and bigger smartphones. Then you also get two 1A USB ports for charging smaller USB devices like older iPhones, Android devices, your smartwatch, Vaper or e-cigarettes, or anything that takes a charge via a USB cable. That’s four devices that can be charged, all at the same time. My only complaint about the Lenmar thus far is that they only provide one extremely short 2ft micro-USB cord in the box, and no Apple lightning cable. Meaning you’ll need to bring your own.
This week I’ve been using the Lenmar 20,800 mAh portable battery to charge both my Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus 6 while on the go, and it still had some juice left for my backup Samsung Galaxy S5. It’s nice being able to carry one device that will charge everything, vs having a myriad of chargers or cables. This one device does it all.
At one point I had my Nexus 9, Nexus 6, Galaxy S5, and Moto 360 all charging on the Lenmar, but that will quickly drain all the juice. The design is pretty simple and has a soft-touch matte rubber black frame, and it feels nice in the hand. What impressed me the most about the Lenmar Mutant 20,800 mAh battery is I had four devices charging at once, and it was barely warm to the touch. Other chargers start to get really warm, but that wasn’t the case here.
Overall the build quality is extremely good, the ports are durable, and the 4-bar LED notification light is pretty accurate regarding battery. Tap the power button and you’ll see how much battery life is remaining. This is in 25% increments. If you hit the battery meter and have two bars left, this means you have at least 50% battery, or roughly 10,000 mAh of juice. Enough to charge any smartphone 3-4 times, if not more.
I’ll admit it, the Lenmar certainly isn’t small, but it’s fairly lightweight and I’d rather have one big battery than have to carry around two smaller 10,000 mAh options from the competition.

Zolt Is A Teeny-Tiny MacBook Charger
Zolt Is A Teeny-Tiny MacBook Charger
Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Acer Ac Adapter
If you’re sick of lugging around that bulky white cable and charger for your MacBook, Zolt could lighten your load. The $99 miniature 3 inch x 1.3 inch x 1.3 inch brick has three USB slots, and with a super thin $30 MagSafe cable, it can power MacBooks that require chargers up to 70 watts. When Zolt ships in Spring, it could simultaneously replace your computer, phone, and tablet chargers.
You can pre-order Zolt now for a discounted $79.
So how the hell did Zolt make a charger smaller than Apple with adapter such as Acer Aspire One 521 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 4551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 5251 AC Adapter, Acer TravelMate 8472 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 7551 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 1680 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire One AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 3000 AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 250 AC Adapter, Acer Aspire 9100 AC Adapter, Acer Travelmate 200 AC Adapter? CEO Dinesh Ramanathan tells me 37 patents plus a special semi-conductor and current switching technology makes Zolt more efficient. When I asked why he created Zolt, Ramanathan simply pointed to a tangle of bulky chargers in a backpack and said “Because I’ve done that too often.”
Thanks to a variety of charger tips, Zolt can refill most laptops, a tablet, and a phone all at once. Zolt’s swiveling AC prongs and tall shape let it adapt to fit in just one space on most outlets or power strips. When it comes out, it will compete with the similarly small Dart charger.
Zolt doesn’t have the wattage to juice up the biggest Apple laptops. It can do the MacBook Airs, MacBooks, and MacBook Pro 13′, but not the 85 watt Pro 15′, 17′, or Retina. At half the weight of the 45 Watt MacBook chargers, it could definitely make the smaller models much lighter to schlep about. Laptops from Acer, Asus, Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM/Lenovo, MSI, Samsung, and Toshiba are compatible too. And Zolt is working to get an official seal of approval from Apple.
We’ll have to wait for its release to see if it can charge devices as quickly as their native adapters and how the USB-thin Zolt MagSafe cable holds up. If the company makes good on its promise, though, you could leave your default laptop charger on your desk and take Zolt on the go.

Asus Chromebook C300
Asus Chromebook C300
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
This modern-looking laptop has a matte-black chassis and nicely textured, faux-brushed-metal polycarbonate top lid and keyboard deck. Unfortunately, the look doesn't extend to the sides of the laptop, where the shiny plastic looks a little cheap. Thankfully, you won't have to look at the sides unless you're plugging peripherals into the system's HDMI port, headset jack, AC power adapter, SD card reader, single USB 2.0 port, or USB 3.0 port.
The chiclet-style keyboard is pleasant to use, as is the wide touchpad that supports multitouch gestures like right click and two-finger swipe. The system measures 0.8 by 13 by 9 inches (HWD) and weighs 2.87 pounds, so it's easy to carry around the house or to your favorite coffee shop with adapter such as Dell Latitude D600 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude XT AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 6000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1501 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron E1505 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 6400 AC Adapter, Dell studio 17 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X300 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude LS AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X1 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 2000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1526 AC Adapter. You can even fit it on an airline tray cable in coach to use the 12 free Gogo Inflight Internet coupons that come with the system. Other Google offers like a 60-day Google Play All Access subscription and 100GB of Google Drive storage (for two years) are also included. (Google Drive has a Chromebook-only holiday special: free 1TB of storage for two years if you register before January 1)
You'll need that cloud storage, since the C300 only comes with a 16GB solid-state drive (SSD) and 2GB of system memory. The 16GB SSD is typical of most Chromebooks, though the Acer Chromebook C720P-2600$395.99 at Amazon offers double the system memory (4GB) and local storage (32GB) for around the same price. You can, of course, supplement local storage with an SD card, though there is no way to increase the C300's system memory.
The 13.3-inch screen has a 1,366-by-768 resolution, identical to the Asus C200 Chromebook and budget Windows ultraportables like the HP Stream 13 (13-c020nr)Best Price at Amazon. If you need more screen room, the Acer Chromebook 13 (CB5-311-T9B0)$249.99 at Amazon and the Toshiba CB35-B3340 Chromebook 2$329.00 at Best Buy both have 1,920-by-1,080-resolution displays. This means you can view 720p videos on the C300, but not 1080p HD without downscaling.
The display is of good quality, though like all LCD screens, it doesn't have a wide viewing angle and is not quite as clear as an In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen like the one in the Editors' Choice HP Chromebook 11 (Verizon LTE)$300.00 at Amazon and its Wi-Fi only sibling HP Chromebook 11$239.99 at Amazon. The C300 comes with a one-year warranty.
The C300 is equipped with an Intel Celeron N2830 dual-core processor with Intel HD Graphics. The system takes only a few seconds to boot up and to wake from sleep, but you will have to connect to a Wi-Fi network for most functions in Chrome OS. 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 are standard. The system loads Websites quickly and is adequate for most multimedia-heavy sites. Many browser-based games work fine, and Google has a Chrome plug-in store in case you need to add programs to your system. Google Docs and Drive worked fine in testing, but your mileage will vary, depending on the strength of your Wi-Fi signal.
Battery life is a major highlight. The C300 ran for 10 hours 42 minutes on our battery rundown test. That's much longer than the Acer Chromebook 13 (8:20), the HP Stream 13 (9:09), and the Toshiba CB35-B3340 (7:04). Only the Acer C200 (11:14) outlasted them all.
If you need all-day computing, and then some, with a larger display, the Asus Chromebook C300 is a top choice, provided you've got constant Internet access. If you absolutely need Windows programs and compatibility, the HP Stream 13, our Editors' Choice for budget ultraportables, is an option in the same price range. However, if all you need is to get on the Web, then the C300 should be more than enough. We still prefer the Editors' Choice HP Chromebook 13 for its construction quality, IPS screen, and micro-USB charging, but if you need a larger screen and longer battery life, the C300 comes a close second.

weltweit kleinstes 13-Zoll-Ultrabook auf der CES vorgestellt
weltweit kleinstes 13-Zoll-Ultrabook auf der CES vorgestellt
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
Dell hat auf der CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas eine Neuauflage seines Ultrabooks XPS 13 enthüllt. Laut Hersteller ist es dank seines kompakten Gehäuses und nur 5,2 Millimeter dicken Displayrahmen das kleinste 13-Zoll-Notebook auf dem Markt. Das Dell XPS 13 (2015) ist seit dem 6. Januar in den USA ab knapp 800 Dollar erhältlich. Preise und ein Verkaufstermin sind für Deutschland noch nicht bekannt.
Das neue XPS 13 ist laut Dell 23 Prozent kleiner als ein Apple MacBook Air mit identisch großem 13-Zoll-Display. Es misst 30,4 mal 20 Zentimeter in der Breite und Tiefe und kommt damit fast auf die Größe eines MacBook Air mit 11-Zoll-Diagonale with adapter like Dell Inspiron 15 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1545 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1750 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1210 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1000 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 1200 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 7000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 3500 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 9200 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D620 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude D820 AC Adapter, Dell XPS M1210 AC Adapter. Dies erreicht Dell durch äußerst dünne Displayrahmen, die an drei Seiten nur rund 5,2 Millimeter breit sind. Dell zufolge nehmen sie im Verhältnis nur 2 Prozent der Vorderseite ein.
Das Gewicht ist mit knapp 1,18 Kilogramm (1,26 Kg mit Touchscreen) ebenfalls näher am 11- als 13-Zoll-Modell von Apple. Das Gehäuse kommt an der dicksten Stelle auf rund 1,52 Zentimeter und an der dünnsten auf 9 Millimeter. Damit ist es insgesamt noch etwas dünner als das MacBook Air. Bei der Verarbeitung setzt Dell auf Premium-Materialien. Das Gehäuse besteht aus Karbonfaser und eloxiertem Aluminium und macht dementsprechend einen hochwertigen Eindruck
Punkten kann das Dell-Ultrabook neben dem edlen und fast rahmenlos wirkenden Design auch mit einem hochauflösenden und hellen Display. Der 13,3-Zoll-Bildschirm, der wahlweise auch als Touchscreen erhältlich ist, verfügt in den teureren Versionen über eine QHD-Auflösung von 3.200 mal 1.800. Die Anzeige kommt auf eine Helligkeit von 400 Nit. Eine Konfiguration mit 4K-Auflösung gibt es nicht. Die günstigeren Modelle sind mit einer Full-HD-Auflösung ausgestattet. Geschützt ist das Display von Cornigs Gorilla Glas.
Angetrieben wird das Dell XPS 13 in der günstigsten Konfiguration von einer Intel-Core-i3-5010U-CPU mit 2,1 GHz Takt, der 4 GByte DDR3L-RAM zur Seite stehen. Für Daten steht ein 128 GByte großer SSD-Speicher zur Verfügung. Das Top-Modell für knapp 1600 Dollar kommt mit einem Intel-Core-i7-5500U-Prozessor mit 3 GHz Takt, 8 GByte RAM und einem 256 GByte großen SSD-Laufwerk. Gegen einen Aufpreis von 300 Dollar bestückt Dell das Ultrabook auch mit 512 GByte. Die Akkulaufzeit beträgt laut Dell bis zu satte 15 Stunden beim Full-HD-Modell und immer noch guten 12 Stunden bei der QHD-Version.
Zur weiteren Ausstattung des Dell XPS 12 (2015) gehören WLAN 802.11ac, Dual-Band-WiFi und Bluetooth 4.0. An Anschlussmöglichkeiten sind zwei USB-3.0- und ein Mini-Display-Port sowie ein 3-in-1-SD-Kartenleser vorhanden. Für weitere Anschlüsse hat Dell einen Adapter im Angebot, der das Ultrabook um eine weitere USB-3.0, USB-2.0-, HDMI-, VGA- und Ethernet-Buchse erweitert. Das Dell XPS 13 kommt weiterhin mit einer vollwertigen und komfortablen Tastatur mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung und einem großen Touchpad.
Nachfolgendes Hands-on unserer amerikanischen Kollegen von CNET.com vermittelt einen ersten Eindruck des neuen Dell XPS 13.

Toshiba gets aggressive with a $120, 7-inch Windows tablet
Toshiba gets aggressive with a $120, 7-inch Windows tablet
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
Toshiba Australia has issued a recall notice for the power cord it supplied with laptops sold in Australia between 1st September 2010 and 30th June 2012.
The recall notice says the “'LS-15' labelled AC Power cord” was built with “electrical insulation [that] may degrade over time”.
If that happens, there's “potential to overheat and burn”.
If you own such a device, get thee hither to register for a replacement.
Or if you'd rather not jump through those hoops, this looks to be an utterly standard C-13 to AS/NZS3112 that you can probably pick up for a fiver at any decent electrical retailer. Or have half a dozen of in your shed with adapyer like Toshiba Satellite X200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba G15 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Equium A60 Ac Adapter, Toshiba PA3165U-1ACA Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1600 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 200 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A100 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Tecra L2 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M20 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite M65 Ac Adapter, Toshiba terca 8000 Ac Adapter, Toshiba Satellite 1900 Ac Adapter.
Toshiba's not the only company to recall this cord: HP's also done a global recall. Somewhere, a low-level supplier is having rather deep chats with its lawyers and insurers.
Over the years, Windows tablets have been getting smaller and smaller -- and cheaper and cheaper. Well, surprise! They're getting tinier, and we've just about hit bargain-basement pricing. Toshiba just announced the Encore Mini, a 7-inch slate that will sell for just $120 -- an aggressive move, considering 8-inch models hover around the $200 mark. Technically speaking, the Encore Mini is not the cheapest Windows tablet out there, but it's definitely the lowest price we've seen from a tier-one brand. For the money, you get full Windows 8.1, though the specs are, as you'd expect, pretty low-end. These include a 1,024 x 600 display, a quad-core Intel Atom Z3735G processor with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage and dual 2MP/0.3MP cameras. At 0.78 pound, it's heavier than, say, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 Nook, which we just reviewed, but either way, you shouldn't have a problem toting it around.
On a bright note, Toshiba is throwing in 1TB of OneDrive storage, free for one year, and there's also a microSDXC slot that takes cards up to 128GB. One year of Office 365 service is included too. Additionally, Toshiba worked with Microsoft to optimize the scaling, so that even when you're in desktop mode, on-screen objects should still be big enough to hit with your fingers. This worked well in my hands-on, but then again, I have slender fingers, so maybe take that with a grain of salt. In any case, if you're tempted, it's available now.
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Toshiba Ac Adapter
Toshiba Australia has issued a recall notice for the power cord it supplied with laptops sold in Australia between 1st September 2010 and 30th June 2012.
The recall notice says the “'LS-15' labelled AC Power cord” was built with “electrical insulation [that] may degrade over time”.
If that happens, there's “potential to overheat and burn”.
