That rounded design, with a rubberized shell, fools you into thinking that the Go is more rugged than it really is (kind of like the Latitude 2100). It comes in four hues: Mint Blue, Midnight Blue, Sunset Orange, and Jet Black. A little rubber stopper covers the VGA port and a flap covers the ethernet jack, but everything else sits out there just as you'd expect. But before I bore you with the standard litany of netbook ports, I'd like to talk about something else that pops with color: the 10.1-inch screen.

Weighing in at 1.36Kg and measuring just under 25mm at its thinnest point, the larger screen allows for a full sized keyboard as well as a six-cell battery with a promised life of up to six hours. It also bundles in an Intel Atom processor, 1GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive.

For all-day use, the new Tablet PC can be fitted with dual hot-swappable batteries. This enables it to run for three and a half hours on a single Toshiba PA3084U-1BRS battery and seven and a half with both fitted, according to Motion. It weighs 1.8kg in this latter configuration.

Standard features include integrated sound -- with high-quality speakers and a sub-woofer -- gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi b/g (upgradable to the Intel WiFi Link 5100 Series a/b/g/Draft-N), 6-in-1 card reader, six USB 2.0 ports and two FireWire ports.

The level of technology at an LCD factory is measured by the size of mother glass sheets, which are the large glass sheets on which several panels can be made. Size is important because larger sheets mean greater efficiency and lower costs. And in the cut-throat flat-panel TV business cost is one of the most important factors to success.

Tens of thousands of orders for the products were made by consumers earlier this month, but Dell(Inspiron 6000 battery) canceled those transactions. The company was then ordered by Taiwan's Consumer Protection Commission to make good on the purchases in an effort to protect consumer rights.

Split open a small section of the Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery pack (at the seam) with a screwdriver or craft knife. Continue to pry the plastic case loose moving around the outer edge until the entire top is free. This may take a bit of force.

Lithium laptop batteries may still be sent by road, but only if they are lithium-ion and rated for 2 grams, 100-Watt-hours or under.Most devices should fall under this requirement, although in the official document (PDF) Australia Post mentions that "Equipment will not be safe to send if it contains more than two batteries/four cells" — six-cell batteries being common in laptops.
