If you want to make absolutely sure that your laptop notebook does not overheat even when its fan works at full speed it is necessary that you use a laptop notebook cooler that will help to reduce the temperature at which the laptop notebook operates. In most cases, a laptop notebook can be cooled with its fan but when things heat up despite the fan working at its maximum level, then you will have no option than to use a laptop notebook cooler.

Earlier, laptops or notebooks were hardly used as it was bulky. Today, things have changed alarmingly to the extent that the notebooks have become powerful, fast and can challenge any desktop computer in their performance. Buying a notebook certainly makes sense owing to its portability features. The light weight of notebook has tempted users as it can be conveniently carried in comparison to the earlier laptops that weighed nearly 5 to 8 kgs. Speaking of the display screen, notebook excels in quality such that it is tough to match any other computer. You can work with notebook lying on the bed or perched comfortably in front of the TV as well. However, notebooks having big screens and long battery life are available in bulkier varieties restricting easy movement.

In the race to create compelling Android phones, Samsung is not off to the best start. The Moment for Sprint offered a bold AMOLED display, but it suffered from a bland interface and disappointing slide-down keyboard. The $229 Behold II loses the keyboard but features the same great screen and a sharper 5-megapixel camera. Plus, Samsung is attempting to catch up to the likes of HTC and Motorola by adding its TouchWiz and Cube user interfaces. Unfortunately, these additions feel half-baked and awkward by comparison, making the Behold II the least satisfying Android device yet.
Design
The Behold II certainly feels solid in the hand, but it avoids being heavy. This touchscreen phone measures 4.6 x 2.2 x 0.5 inches and weighs 4.2 ounces. Its gunmetal gray face has a sizeable 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 480 x 320-pixel resolution. The AMOLED display offers some of the most eye-popping colors available on smart phones today, and it’s a pleasure to view both photos and Web pages.
Below the display—and encircling a 5-way directional pad—are (clockwise from the top) a return button, a key that launches Samsung’s 3D Cube menu (more on this in the UI section), End, Send, Home, and a Menu button.
On the left-hand side of the device are the volume keys; a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB port are located on the top of the device. The right side of the phone houses a lock/unlock button and a camera quick-launch key.
The back of the Behold II has a gold colored map of the world painted on it, which adds a bit of flair to the device but will likely be a turn-off to some. Here you’ll also find a speaker and the 5-MP camera, which includes autofocus and an LED flash.
Keyboard
The Behold II does not have a physical keyboard; rather, it has two custom Samsung QWERTY keyboards. Both layouts are easy to type on, but neither are as comfortably spaced as HTC’s custom keyboards on the Hero and Droid Eris, or even the default Android keyboard. The period in portrait mode, for example, is crammed so tight between the M key and the ? that you have to be very deliberate when tapping it. The Behold II also had trouble keeping up with us when we typed quickly; it felt like we were typing on a touchscreen feature phone instead of a smart phone.
User Interface
The Behold II has three UIs: First, it has the old Android 1.5 operating system, which offers three different customizable home screens. Second, it has Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz user interface. Lastly, it has Samsung’s own 3D Cube menu for accessing your multimedia. The trouble is, none of these work well together.
Android typically makes for an easy-to-use touchscreen experience. You can customize your three home screens with applications, shortcuts, and widgets. Notifications (such as new e-mail and text messages) are displayed along the top of the screen, and to view any of them you simply pull down the notification shade by dragging your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom (to learn more about Android, click here). Usually this execution is pretty flawless and zippy, but we noticed lag on the Behold II. Likewise, Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface is sluggish. As we swiped from screen to screen, we could see a delay as the phone tried to keep up. Also, the left-aligned TouchWiz tab—which reveals the TouchWiz menu—sometimes pops out onto the screen if you’re swiping from left to right.
To access all of your programs, you have to open TouchWiz. On the home screen, there are four icons along the bottom: Contacts, Dialer, Quick List, and Web. Quick List looks exactly like the main menu of a feature phone, and really has no reason to exist. You should be able to access the main menu with all of your installed programs, which is what every other Android phone does.
Samsung’s 3D Cube menu is a fun concept, but with the TouchWiz and Android’s UIs present, it feels like a gimmick. The cube has six sides: Amazon MP3, music, photos, videos, Web browser, and YouTube. Simply click a side to launch one of the programs, and the cube transforms into a card-based menu of your song library, video library, etc. We prefer using a regular media player menu where we can simply choose videos and then the one we want to watch.
