Dell’s Latitude 5430 Rugged – Redefining the Extremes of Mobile Computing

It is safe to say that mobile devices, including laptops, convertible 2-in-1s, tablets and smartphones have revolutionized and fundamentally changed the ways that businesses utilize computing. However, while many mobile solutions are more or less interchangeable in terms of form factors , features and functions, some are designed to address singular applications and use cases.


Ruggedized laptops, like Dell Technologies’ new Latitude 5430 Rugged, are excellent examples of this. Though the Latitude 5430 Rugged is obviously not the product for every business situation, it is also one of the few solutions that organizations can use to address some specific situational and environmental challenges. Let’s consider why this is the case and what Dell’s Latitude 5430 Rugged brings to the table.
Defining rugged laptops

What exactly is the difference between rugged laptops and conventional devices? It mostly relates to enhanced durability in terms of resistance to shock, vibration, moisture and temperature extremes. Consider the care you need to take with a standard laptop. How a spilled cup of coffee or accidental fall from a desk or table can result in costly repairs or even replacement.


Ruggedized laptops and tablets are in a whole different class. Since many of these solutions are developed for military applications, they are subjected to testing according to U.S. Military Specifications, including resistance to functional shocks and drops, vibration, dust, humidity, water resistance, altitude and environmental temperature extremes.


For example, in testing, the Latitude 5430 Rugged survived 26 drops from 36 inches onto a hard surface (meeting MIL-STD-810 standards) and is protected against limited water spray of less than 60 degrees from vertical (meeting IP53 standards). , the Latitude 5430 Rugged can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 140°F (-29°C to 60°C) and can tolerate exposure to temperatures ranging from -60°F to 160°F (-51°C to 71°C).


In other words, rugged laptops are not conventional mobile solutions, and they also require users to make certain adjustments. For example, starting at 5.5 pounds, the Latitude 5430 Rugged weighs over a pound more than the standard Latitude 5430. Plus, its big sibling , the even more stout Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme starts at 7.6 pounds.
However, that protection against drops, shocks and other extremes comes at a literal cost. Rugged laptops and tablets are typically higher priced than comparable systems (the Latitude 5430 Rugged evaluation unit Dell provided for this review starts at $3,089.00). That may put off conventional bargain hunters, but remember that rugged solutions are designed to maintain and operate in places that will damage or destroy conventional laptops. For certain use cases in manufacturing, construction, field

research and natural resource exploration, rugged laptops are the best or only option.
Dell’s Latitude 5430 RuggedPutting aside the specialized components and capabilities, rugged laptops are mostly comparable to conventional business laptops with a few exceptions. Like other new Dell client solutions, the Latitude 5430 Rugged can be ordered with 11th gen Intel Core (Tiger Lake) CPUs. DDR4-3200 dual-channel SODIMM RAM can be configured as 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, and NVMe storage choices range from 512GB to 2 TB. Buyers can also include an optional NVIDIA Quadro T500 discrete GPU.


Ports include USB 3.1 Gen1 Type A (2) & USB 3.1 Gen1 Type A (1), USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C (1) with Power Delivery (PD), native RS-232 serial port (1), RJ-45, gigabit Ethernet network connector (1), HDMI (1) and Universal Audio Jack. Optional ports include RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet network connector (1) and 2nd Serial, VGA, Display Port or Fischer USB. Note that ports include closeable doors to maximize moisture resistance.
What does the Latitude 5430 Rugged offer that is different?

 It is available with two 14-inch 60 Hz FHD (1920X1080) display options. One is a non-touch, 400-nit panel that is akin to a standard laptop. But the touchscreen (supporting glove touch) panel delivers 1,100 nits of brightness for outdoor viewing. If you don’t have experience with a display like this, it can feel like a visit to a tanning salon. But it also allows the system to be used in situations where a conventional laptop would leave you squinting
Connectivity features are also significantly richer than those conventional laptops offer. Along with support for Wi-Fi 6E, buyers can purchase optional 5G service supported with the Snapdragon X55 5G modem. The Latitude 5430 Rugged is also FirstNet Ready with Band 14 supporting mission-critical connectivity during

emergencies. An optional dedicated u-blox NEO-M8 GPS card is also available.
In addition, the Latitude 5430 Rugged includes a dual hot-swappable battery system comprised of two 3-cell 53.5 Wh batteries that are available in ExpressCharge and Long Life Cycle versions. Dell claims a battery life of 25 hours (with both batteries fully charged) and the ability to charge up to 35% of the battery in 20 minutes. With the Express Charge option. The battery covers feature discrete buttons to manually check power levels.
The evaluation system Dell provided has a 11th gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, the 1,100 nit touchscreen display and a stylus residing in a dedicated slot that attaches to the laptop with a flexible lanyard. The system also included the optional handle that allows the laptop to be easily carried without a backpack or case.


Performance was as solid and peppy as you would expect from a laptop with the latest generation Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. I was also impressed by the clarity and brightness of the display—a longstanding option in Dell’s Latitude Rugged line.

Were there any shortcomings in the Latitude 5430 Rugged? Practically speaking, not really. While using the display at higher or maximum brightness will obviously take a toll on battery life, the dual  Delllaptops battery system provides enough to make outdoor use and viewing workable in most circumstances. Some might argue that the extra weight makes mobility claims somewhat tenuous, but those extra ounces are tied directly to the system’s shock and drop overhead resistance.
The larger point is that physical properties aside, the Latitude 5430 Rugged proves that businesses that require extraordinary performance from mobile computing devices don’t have to surrender anything in terms of user experience and system performance. Add that to its extra-durable features and many customers are likely to consider Dell’s Latitude 5430 Rugged a bargain.


Final analysisRugged laptops and tablets have long been a somewhat rarified sector, populated mostly by specialty vendors and solutions, like Panasonic, Getac, Durabook and DT Research. Dell entered the rugged solution market in 2008 with its ATG series, shifting to the Latitude Rugged designation about six years later. Until Acer entered the space in 2020 with its Enduro line, Dell was the only major laptop vendor bringing ruggedized solutions to market.


What has been particularly interesting about Dell’s approach is how it has enlivened and enhanced its rugged solutions with technologies and features initially developed for commercial client products, including Latitude and XPS laptops. That has enabled the company to create solutions that are often more sophisticated than those competitors offer, and better attuned to the needs of end users, commercial customers and specific industries.


The Rugged Latitude line also underscores Dell’s strategic intention to help customers succeed in what has increasingly become a “Do-Anything-From-Anywhere World.” Overall, commercial customers are likely to find Dell’s Latitude 5430 Rugged to be a solid solution for extreme business and environmental challenges.

A Teensy Adapter Board Brings an HP 200LX Keyboard Back From the Dead as a USB Input Device

A discarded handheld computer from the 1990s has had its keyboard donated to a new Raspberry Pi-powered project after some careful reverse engineering.
Pseudonymous manufacturer “Sunshine701c” (hereinafter referred to as “Sunshine”) has designed a Teensy powered adapter that allows you to connect the keyboard of an old Hewlett-Packard 200LX handheld computer to a modern PC as a USB device – as part of an upgrade project of deceased examples.


“I’m currently working on a project that basically plugs a Raspberry Pi into the case of an old [HP] 200LX handheld computer that’s broken,” Sunshine explains. “This project started by modifying an old keyboard so that it could be used as a standard USB keyboard. I used an old Teensy 2.0 microcontroller and kbfirmware.com (very old I know) to [do] this, as well as a custom built-in Interposer PCB to accommodate the very weird pad spacing on the Teensy keyboard connector.”

I used an old Teensy 2.0 microcontroller and kbfirmware.com (very old I know) to [do] this, as well as a custom built-in Interposer PCB to accommodate the very weird pad spacing on the Teensy keyboard connector.”
Released in 1994, the HP 200LX was a handheld computer powered by an Intel 80186-compatible processor running at 7.91MHz and supporting up to 4MB of RAM, with storage expandability via a PCMCIA slot on the side of the device. Meanwhile, the current lowest -performance Raspberry Pi model is the original Raspberry Pi Zero, which has a 1GHz CPU and 512MB of RAM.


Well, plugging a Raspberry Pi into an HP 200LX would be an upgrade – although Sunshine is a request. “I beg you, please don’t tear apart a perfectly working 200LX for a project like this,” the manufacturer wrote “I took mine apart because the LCD and [motherboard] were both broken. Unless you’re in the same boat with both the keyboard and LCD broken, consider a different smaller keyboard, it might be easier to implement and use , I just use this to leverage old technology that would otherwise be abandoned.”

In order for the keyboard to talk to the current system, Sunshine had to probe every trace on the flex circuit to figure out which key corresponded to which pin on the unusual connector. With this diagram in mind, the manufacturer built an interposer board that sits between the keyboard connector and the Teensy 2.0 microcontroller board – which in turn listens for keypresses and sends them to a modern host via USB.

Acer, Porsche Design and Intel Team Up for Evo-Verified Acer Book RS

Porsche Design has a long history in the PC / tech space, including partnerships with LaCie,

AOC, and even BlackBerry, as well as striking out on its own with the Surface Book-like Book One a few years back. Now the automobile-adjacent design house has teamed up with both Acer and Intel for the Porsche Design Acer Book RS, a premium 14-inch laptop that looks like someone stuck the carbon fiber lid from a Thinkpad X1 on a shinier old-school MacBook Pro. Only time (and our testing) will tell if it will find a place on our best premium laptops list.

Acer says the high-end laptop will include up to 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processors with Iris Xe integrated graphics, up to 16GB of RAM and an optional Nvidia GeForce MX350 dedicated GPU. On paper, one of the more impressive aspects of the Porsche Design Acer Book RS is that Acer manages to keep the weight down to either 2.65 or 2.76 pounds (Acer’s press release mentioned both weights) while keeping the thickness of the “all metal” chassis at 0.63 inches.


Those who like densely pixel-packed screens will be let down by the laptop’s FHD (1080p) display, but it is listed as IPS and includes touch support. You also get Thunderbolt 4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a glass precision touchpad and the carbon fiber top. And some models will be Evo verified by Intel. To that end, battery life is listed at 17 hours (video playback at 150 nits in Battery Saver mode with Wi-Fi off, according to press release footnotes), and next -gen Wi-Fi 6 should make for speedy, robust wireless connectivity.

For those who want to go all-in on the Porsche Design aesthetic, Acer will also sell matching accessories for the Porsche Design Acer Book RS, including a mouse, leather carrying pouch, and a separate notebook sleeve with a detachable lid that’s designed to serve as a mousepad.Acer says the Porsche Design Acer Book RS will be available in December 2020 in North America, starting at $1,399 (EUR 1,799).

A premium package, which includes the laptop with an i7 CPU as well as the travel pack and mouse , will sell for $1,999 (EUR 2,399). And if you opt for the laptop and want the travel pack after the fact, you can pick up the mousepad, mouse, carrying pouch and sleeve for $329.99 (EUR 299) separately.

Three Frequently Asked Questions About FANUC Control Batteries

The FANUC controls on your Enshu machining centers have batteries to backup the CMOS memory where part programs, offset data, and system parameters are stored. Maintaining the proper battery life is important for minimizing down time and staying productive. In order to keep your FANUC control running smoothly, check out these three frequently asked questions to never miss a machining minute.When do I replace the battery in my FANUC control?


An alarm is generated on the FANUC control if a low  FANUC battery condition is detected. At that time, batteries should be replaced immediately to avoid losing the home position. The batteries are mounted in a black box on the main electrical panel door, and each box has 4 “D-Cell” alkaline batteries. When replacing the batteries, keep the power on (machine screen must be ON). To prevent home position loss, replace with high quality batteries annually. We recommend placing a date sticker on the battery box as a reminder.
What do I do if I lose the home position on my FANUC control?


The home position on your FANUC control can be lost due to the battery alarm being ignored or if the machine was powered off for too long. If this occurs, recovery of the home position on most Enshu machines is easy and takes only a few minutes with no special tools required. Using the knob on the hand wheel pendant, simply select the axis that needs to be zero-returned, select Zero Return mode, close and lock all doors, and press Cycle Start button. The axis selected will move slowly to the mechanical stroke limit stopper and gently bump the stopper two times. The FANUC control precisely detects the motor torque when contacting the stopper to establish its precise position. The axis then backs away from the stopper by a fixed distance, which is set in a parameter by the factory. The axis is now at home position. A power cycle will clear the alarm and recovery is complete.


Do I need to replace the backup battery?
Yes. Located just behind the screen display, a lithium battery is used for backup parameter and program memory. This battery should be replaced when the “BAT” indicator is blinking on the FANUC screen. When it blinks, be sure to perform a backup of the control, and then replace the  FANUC battery immediately before powering off again to prevent any data loss.
If you have additional questions about the FANUC battery in your FANUC controls, we’re here to help. Contact us today.

Lenovo ThinkPad 10 review: a good Windows tab hurt by poor battery life

There isn’t a big middle ground in the Windows tablet world right now. It’s really a pity. There’s no question that people want high-resolution screens or tons of options, but don’t want to pay for a fast processor that might go to waste. That’s what makes the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 so appealing at first glance—it’s a well-appointed 10-inch Windows tablet that won’t put a huge dent in your wallet. The question is whether it strikes the right price/performance balance it deserves. In some ways that is true, but there are also some huge sacrifices involved. Read on to see if they are worth your time.


The ThinkPad 10 doesn’t fundamentally change its design; it looks very similar to the ThinkPad 8, and not even that different from its ancestor, the ThinkPad Tablet 2. Not that there’s much reason to complain. You still get an aluminum machine that’s both thin and light (0.35 inches and 1.3 pounds, respectively), and everything feels as

comfortable and well-made as you’d expect for $599+. While this thinness doesn’t extend Lenovo tatablet battery life, this is definitely the large Windows tablet you want if you do a lot of standing and computing. It may not be as light as mobile OS-based tablets like the Galaxy Tab S or iPad Air, but it puts significantly less strain on my wrists than the larger Surface Pro 3’s 1.8 pounds and Dell’s 1.6-pound Venue 11 Pro.
Not everything is rosy with metal bodies. This is the same material and finish found on the ThinkPad 8, so scuffs and scratches may appear if you ditch the case. I was lucky enough to avoid them during my test runs, but I’m known to be very protective of my hardware. And you may never be able to keep it completely pristine. Almost every dirty fingerprint on the dark aluminum will show up for at least a while, and there are only so many times I’m willing to wipe them off.

Display, pen and sound


You’re more likely to see higher-resolution displays on larger tablets, but the ThinkPad 10’s LCD still manages to stand out in a fairly crowded space. It uses a higher 1,920 x 1,200 resolution rather than the 1080p screens you’re more likely to find at this price point; those extra vertical pixels may not look like much, but they’re helpful when browsing the web or writing reports. The 224 ppi density is also just right for Windows 8.1, which is very finicky about scaling high resolutions to the right size. The display is sharp enough that content looks good, but not so sharp that you have to squint or click a lot of tiny buttons when you switch to a traditional desktop.

Given the lack of pen input on the ThinkPad 8, you might be willing to forgive these shortcomings. You can draw with varying degrees of pressure or hover your mouse above the screen. There’s no trick to the Surface Pro 3’s OneNote shortcuts, but you do get both a right-click button and an eraser. I found that I liked the pen more than I thought – it’s light and comfortable, and I had no problems with handwriting recognition or scribbling. That being said, this is really more of a productivity tool than an art tool. It’s difficult to apply the exact force you want in a drawing, so you probably won’t”Not creating masterpieces.

performance and battery life
The ThinkPad 10’s performance is a real pain in the ass. In theory, its quad-core 1.6GHz Atom processor should make it one of the fastest Windows tablets in its class. In practice, however, it is relatively cumbersome. Even compared to older devices with 1.33GHz chips, its average benchmark score was the lowest of any Windows tablet we’ve tried. You can’t blame it on the high-resolution display, either, as the equally sharp-looking ThinkPad 8 is still faster. Synthetic testing isn’t the be all and end all of a device, but obviously a higher clock speed won’t give you any extra bragging rights.
The same is true in the real world. Like other recent Atom tablets, this larger ThinkPad can easily run the Windows 8.1 interface and browser or typical apps like Evernote, but it won’t replace a desktop or a premium laptop; it’s not meant for serious work. Creative work or high-end gaming. It’s also slow to boot, taking around 14 seconds (the Acer Iconia W4 takes 8 seconds), and the back gets noticeably hot when you play action-heavy games like Halo: Spartan Assault.

Lenovo didn’t initially position the ThinkPad 10 as a speed demon, but it’s nice to see some tangible improvements, you know? 2GB of RAM is more than enough for common tasks, though if you’re going to be juggling multiple apps at the same time, I highly recommend getting the top-tier 4GB version.
The real deal-breaker might be the poor tablet battery life I mentioned earlier. When looping a 1080p video at half brightness, the ThinkPad 10 lasted just 6 hours and 44 minutes on a charge. This result is better than the bottom-ranked ThinkPad 8 , but I’d hardly call it an encouraging success. Even playing the less strenuous SD clip, the runtime was a subpar 7 hours and 38 minutes. No, you won’t mind the shorIn the US, the ThinkPad only comes in two models: a $599 entry-level version with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and a $699 version with 4GB and 128GB of storage. If an entry-level device is just a companion to your main computer, you’ll generally be fine with it, but if it’s your main computer, you’ll want to seriously consider the price of both.

As with many tablets, you’ll likely need at least one or two accessories to complete the experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the $45 Quickshot Cover; camera tricks aside, it does a great job of protecting the screen or propping up the tablet for watching movies. If you type a lot (which you probably are if you’re (already a ThinkPad fan), you should consider spending $90 on the Touch Case or $120 on the Ultrabook Keyboard. Sadly I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but they should serve you better than third-party Bluetooth keyboards.

It’s hard to figure out where the ThinkPad 10 stands among its competitors. As I mentioned before, it occupies a rare middle ground in a field that’s largely divided between affordable Windows tablets and high-performance laptop alternatives. The most obvious similarity is with the Venue 11 Pro, although whether it represents a better deal depends on the discount you get.

As of this writing, you can get similar hardware and a full copy of Office for $500. Lenovo’s $100 premium does get you a slightly higher pixel count, pen input , and a lighter chassis, but those are generally perks rather than must-haves. If you’re considering a $699 ThinkPad, it’s hard to resist spending another $100 on the high-end Venue 11 Pro or the base Surface Pro 3. Both have faster Core i3 processors, and the Surface makes up for what it loses in storage. Equipped with a 12-inch screen and a more refined pen. If you’re going to spend money on a really good Windows tablet in the first place, doesn ‘t it make sense to buy something really powerful?


That last point really sums up the ThinkPad 10’s dilemma.

There’s no doubt you’re getting a lot, including a beautiful display, pen input, and top-notch industrial design. However, I can’t help but think this is an awkward, in-between product. In order to fit a ThinkPad into your life, you’ll need a reasonable budget, but not one so high that you can buy the highest-end tablet. This wouldn’t be a huge issue if the device had a long-lasting battery to give it an advantage, but it’s not – it’s actually worse than more powerful hardware like the Surface Pro, and Lenovo ThinkPad battery life is expected to be shorter3. While I really enjoy using the ThinkPad, it’s more of a tool for experts than a Swiss Army Knife. That’s great if it meets your needs, but your best bet may be to use lower-end technology to save money, or invest in something more powerful.

Five common iPad and tablet faults and how to fix them

From slow speeds to poor battery: find the solutions to your iPad and tablet woesBatteries are the cause of most tablet issues – almost 20% of all the faults recorded in our survey were down to the battery getting significantly worse in a short period of time.
Typically, this is a sign of a hardware issue with the battery itself, which might need replacing, but there are some setting adjustments you can try first.
How to check battery health on a tabletFirst, check the condition of the battery itself. If the battery needs replacing, then there’s no point doing any further troubleshooting, as only a new one will get your tablet healthy.


You can’t usually access the battery physically, but you can check it in the settings.
Android tablet: Head to the battery section in the settings to get an overall rating for the battery. You can get more information here, too. Select Battery from this menu and you’ll see how long a full charge should last. If this is much lower than normal, then it’s a sign that something’s wrong.iPad: Go to Settings, then Battery. Next, tap Battery Health and you’ll see the maximum capacity. Ideally, you want this to be as close to 100% as possible. If it’s low then you know you’re not getting much battery life, even when your iPad is fully charged.

Amazon Fire tablet: There doesn’t seem to be a built-in method of checking an Amazon tablet battery but there are battery health apps on the Amazon Fire store that will show you.Microsoft tablet: You can get a detailed battery report on Windows tablets – you’ll feel like a Matrix extra while you do it. Type cmd into the Start menu to bring up the command prompt box. Type in powercfg /batteryreport and a battery report will be saved into your C drive. This will tell you the maximum capacity and show how much it’s dropped over time, along with a range of usage stats.If you run any of these tests and find the maximum capacity has dropped dramatically, then your tablet’s battery is likely damaged and will need replacing. 
10 ways to get more from your tablet batteryIf your battery gets a clean bill of health, try these tips to get more life out of it.


The screen usually drains more battery than any other process. Turn down the brightness, or make it adaptive so it reacts to light and doesn’t maintain unnecessarily high brightness.Adjust the screen timeout so it turns off more quickly when you’re not interacting with it or watching something.Turn off any location services, particularly if you’re mainly using your device at home.If you aren’t using them, turn off Bluetooth and wi-fi. Even if you’re not connected, the tablet will periodically look for active connections, which drains the High quality tablet battery

Close any apps you’re not using. There are different trains of thought on whether this makes much of a difference on newer tablets, but you might as well try it just in case these apps are drawing some power.Your tablet probably has an eco or power-saving mode you can try. You’ll notice this mainly affects the screen brightness, but it will turn off some background processes, too.Switch to dark mode. If most of the background is black, then the screen doesn’t need to work as hard. This is because the backlight and pixels have to work harder to display a white screen.Switching off your voice assistant means the tablet isn’t alert and waiting to hear your voice, which will save some power.

Switch your email to push, rather than regularly checking for emails. You’ll need to actively go into the email app and refresh to see new emails, though.Uninstall apps you’re not using. Just because you’re not using them doesn’t mean they aren’t running processes in the background that are draining your tablet battery Plus, they might be getting automatic updates that are tuned for newer tablets, and older ones might struggle to run them. Join Which?

Fault 2: Tablet is slowTablet with a cloud symbol and “storage”It can be very frustrating if your tablet is slow to open apps or switch between them.
Sluggish tablet speeds can be a symptom of age. As apps continue to be updated, the power demand starts to exceed the capabilities of the tablet’s processor and Ram, which then struggle.
Things can slow down when the tablet operating system gets updated, too, for similar reasons.
There are other possibilities, though, and it’s worth trying the suggestions below before admitting defeat to slower speeds.


We promise we’re only going to say this once, but try turning it off and on again. It’s the oldest trick in the book, but it works. Your tablet being on for days leads to a build-up of open apps and running processes that you probably aren’t using, but are slowing you down. Restart to give your tablet a clean slate and speed things up.
Clear your tablet’s cacheApps collect data to make them load faster in future. Ironically, this can slow down your tablet as apps accumulate increasing amounts of data.
You can manually clear the cache of apps in the settings menu. 
Android tablets: Go to Settings then Storage, followed by Cached data to clear the storage. You can also do this on an app-by-app basis in the App Menu.

iPads: Open the app you want to clear, then hold down the power button until you see the ‘Slide to power off’ prompt. Release the power button and hold the home button until the app restarts. When it does, the cache will be cleared. For iPads without a home button, go to General settings then iPad storage. Choose the app you want to clear and select Offload app. This keeps some data, such as logins, but clears the cache when you reactivate it. This will work with older iPads, too.

Amazon Fire tablets: Open Settings, then Apps and Notifications. Next, select Manage all Applications and select the app you want to clear, followed by Storage. You’ll now see the option to clear the cache.Microsoft tablets: Microsoft tablets run Windows 11 and often use software rather than apps, so clearing a cache doesn’t make as much sense. You can use ‘Storage Sense’ (click Settings, System, then Storage and toggle it on) to free up space on your hard drive, though.Five other ways to speed up your tablet

Generally, a newer tablet shouldn’t run slowly unless you’re using some software that it really isn’t capable of running. For example, if you’ve bought a low-end tablet and start editing some uncompressed 4K footage, then it’s going to struggle.
It’s important to buy a tablet that suits your needs and can handle the tasks you require. Thanks to our tough, independent lab tests, we know which jobs each tablet is best for – so check our tablet reviews before you buy.


Keep your apps and operating system up to date: Newer versions often optimize software to help things run smoothly. You can use our free tablet security tool to find out if yours is still receiving updates. Seek alternative apps: Keeping your apps up to date is a good idea, but if you find an app is starting to feel sluggish following an update, then it could be that it’s now exceeded what your tablet can cope with. There are likely dozens of alternatives you could try and some might run better, so try looking in the app store for a different option.

Remove widgets: If your tablet has to load a bunch of widgets every time you return to your home screen then it will slow things down. Make sure you only keep genuinely useful widgets that you check a lot.Reduce startup processes: This is one for Microsoft tablets mainly, but if you have loads of software set to start every time you turn on your tablet, it could slow your startup to a crawl. Go to Settings, Apps then Startup to see what loads up when your tablet turns on.

Free up some storage space: If your hard drive is almost at capacity, it can slow down your tablet. Try to delete some old apps and content to free up space. You can always move files from your physical storage to the cloud.

Is It Better To Repair or Replace a Phone?

Cell phones are delicate pieces of equipment. One clumsy moment is often all it takes to damage them. When that happens you have two choices. You can either replace the phone entirely with a brand new model, or you can repair your existing phone to get a few additional years of use out of it. So, which is the best choice? Well, that depends on a number of different factors, including cost, as well as the age of your phone and how attached you are to it.


Repairing a Cell Phone is More Cost-EffectiveIf you’re looking for the most economical choice, you should definitely repair your phone rather than replace it. Purchasing a new phone can cost upwards of $1,000 for high-end brands. Repairing your current phone, on the other hand, can cost anywhere from less than $100 to a few hundred dollars, depending on the repair and phone model. The two most common issues plaguing older phones are shattered screens and dying batteries.


How Much Does It Cost To Repair a Cell Phone Screen?Obviously, this will vary depending on your brand and model. As a ballpark figure though, most iPhone screen replacements will cost somewhere between $69.99 and $349.99. If you have a Samsung device, you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $400.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace a Cell Phone Battery?Replacing your battery is a great way to lengthen the life of an older model phone. Cell phone batteries only last about two years before they begin to degrade. After that, they’re prone to charging issues. An old battery can also slow down the performance of your phone or even lead to sudden shutdowns. A typical battery replacement at Batteries Plus costs as low as $59.99 on some models and can extend the life of your phone for another two years. Many stores even offer a 50% discount on battery replacement if you have your screen repaired at the same time. For the latest pricing on your model phone, call or visit your nearest Batteries Plus location.


Additional Factors When Deciding Whether to Repair or Replace Your PhoneBeyond cost though, there’s also something to be said for comfort. The size, weight and design of your phone will probably be very different when upgrading to the next generation, so if you’re happy with what you have, why not hold onto it for a couple more years?
You’ll also want to consider the age of your current phone. If your phone is particularly old, it may not support the most recent software updates. In that case, it might be worth it to upgrade to something new. Many carriers are currently offering higher trade-in offers on older model phones in order to promote their new 5G networks. If your phone is currently damaged though, you’ll still want to have it repaired in order to maximize the money you get on your trade-in.
