I have a Pre, and it is awesome BECAUSE it doesn't require specialized software to "sync" audio tracks. You can drag and drop and it loads all the info directly from your music.
I am glad that I don't have to use some specific program to manage contacts, ringones, etc. The Pre synchronizes with facebook and gmail contacts automatically. Lock-in isn't a feature.
No, A PHEV using serial hybrid technology is vastly SUPERIOR to parallel hybrid PHEV technology.
In a serial setup, the motor can be smaller since it is always able to run at the most efficient RPM level because it doesn't have to cope with the demands of changing levels of resistance from a transmission. The engine simply acts as a generator (only when needed) with its output "buffered" by the batteries.
Also, with serial technology you have a simpler drive train because it is connected to a single mechanical drive device (electric motor) versus both electric and mechanical motors.
Of course, there are losses when energy is converted from chemical to mechanical to electrical to chemical to mechanical, but these losses exist in a parallel hybrid as well.
The resolution is all but unbearable, I could see only the top quarter of the Youtube page stretched across my 50-inch set. Not to mention that it is really slow.
However, the predictive text entry works like a charm when filling in text boxes.
AC transmission is not a lossless process by any stretch of the imagination. That's why you can stand under high voltage lines at night and light up a fluorescent bulb by positioning it vertically.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
