Dere V14 Air Notebook – A Review

This article is my own personal experience with the Dere V14 Air Notebook, which I bought a little while ago. I will not be going into all the specifications of this device, because you can find this information on the manufacturer’s website. I will say that it comes with Windows 10 Pro and the Intel core i7 processor though.

My first impression was that it is small and came with unadvertised accessories. I have been using 17 inch laptops for a decade, and didn’t realise how much smaller 14 inches is. That is my fault. I should have done. However, it becomes a real problem when you transfer your spreadsheets across. If they were made to make full use of the larger screen, then there will be data that is not visible without scrolling, and if you resize the spreadsheet, the data will appear very small. You may need (stronger) glasses!

It is very light, but that was not a reason why I bought this device anyway.

The screen shows very vivid colours. It is the best screen I have ever worked with without a shadow of a doubt. It is very easy on the eyes. The sound capabilities of the Dere V14 Air Notebook are, however, not in the same league. I listen to the radio a lot when I am working, or not too, but I can often hardly hear it, which is completely unlike the Asus machines that I have been using for the last seven or eight years.

I will need to buy external speakers.

The Dere V14 Air laptop does not come with a carrying case, which I consider to be a serious fault. Why would a company that is proud of itself not provide a case with its name on it? In fact, this computer doesn’t have its name on it at all.

That is just weird!

And another strange thing is the camera. It is on the hinge with the screen. I don’t know whether it is an Asian/Caucasian thing, but in normal work mode, the camera is focusing  just above my head. I suppose that is why they give you a free external camera, which should be unnecessary.

Yet another ‘free accessory’ that should be unnecessary is the USB hub. This device has only ONE measly USB port in this day and age! I am sure that the original specifications stated two ports - one normal and one high-speed. I would never have bought a computer with just one.

The three best features of this $600 laptop are the screen, the Intel core i7 CPU and the solid-state drive (SSD). It is so fast! I didn’t know what I was missing, and will never go back to spinning disks.

My feelings are mixed at the moment, but I think that I just about come down on the side of the Dere V14 Air Notebook.

Computer Hardware Training

In our modern world of hi-tech computers and fast networks, it is quite easy to become baffled about what you need to run a reasonable system. Many amateurs and professionals alike are constantly challenged by the new developments and innovations that are constantly taking place in the realms of computer casings, network adapters, monitors and the like.

Many people are frequently confronted with situations related to computers and the hardware. This is why computer hardware training is necessary for everyone who wants to either take the hobby seriously or treat it as a business. The basic knowledge and skills that you will acquire from proper computer hardware training will never go to waste.

Many modern companies around the country are eager to develop their businesses which would involve bigger networks and bigger IT departments. Modern businesses are either wholly handled by computers and servers or with the assistance of them. This means that if the IT department fails, then the whole company could come to a standstill or worse. They could even fail.

This is the reason why IT and hardware technicians are in such high demand. Technicians with advanced computer hardware training are pursued insistently by the big corporate giants who need the expertise of these skilled professionals. Huge benefits await these people at these companies and they are looked after very well.

For this reason many young people are now hoping to become computer and IT experts or technicians. There are various qualification levels in computer hardware training available from advanced specialization to basic computer hardware training courses.

But the challenge for any newcomer to this subject is the priceless experience that is gained from the field of operations. However, before all that can happen you should make sure that your training is conducted at a recognized centre in IT.

There are many fraudsters and cheats operating freely around the country and so it is best to be careful when you are choosing your computer hardware training course.

A search for the best computer hardware training centres online would be the easiest way to go about looking for a good technical centre Most of these centres are certified by the pertinent authorities and the proper identification can be made when you visit their individual websites.

Take advantage of the chances available to you and begin to plan your life. Look into getting yourself some computer hardware training today, right now!

Common Computer Viruses

New computer viruses are being generated, exposed and fought every day. These computer viruses are created often just to annoy us and to wreak mayhem in our computer systems. Hereunder, I have described ten viruses currently cited as being the most widespread and being potentially able to inflict the most destruction.

However, new viruses are being developed daily, so this list is by no means complete. The best thing you can do is remain alert, keep your anti-virus software updated, and keep aware of the current computer virus threats.

Virus: Trojan.Lodear:

A Trojan (from Trojan Horse) that tries to download files from a remote source. It will inject a .dll file into the EXPLORER.EXE process causing system instability.

Virus: W32.Beagle.CO@mm:

A mass-mailing worm that lowers security settings. It can delete security-related registry sub keys and may prevent admittance to security-related websites.

Virus: Backdoor.Zagaban:

A Trojan that permits the compromised computer to be operated as a covert proxy and which may decrease network performance.

Virus: W32/Netsky-P:

A mass-mailing worm which propagates by emailing itself to addresses produced from files on the local drives.

Virus: W32/Mytob-GH:

A mass-mailing worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform. Messages sent by this worm will have the subject chosen randomly from a list including titles such as: Notice of account limitation, Email Account Suspension, Security measures, Members Support, Important Notification.

Virus: W32/Mytob-EX:

A mass-mailing worm and IRC backdoor Trojan similar in nature to W32-Mytob-GH. W32/Mytob- EX runs constantly in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a distant hacker to gain access and control over your computer via IRC channels. This virus spreads by sending itself to email attachments harvested from your email address book.

Virus: W32/Mytob-AS, Mytob-BE, Mytob-C, and Mytob-ER:

This family of worm variations has similar characteristics in terms of what they can do. They are mass-mailing worms with backdoor functionality that can be controlled through the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network. Additionally, they can propagate themselves via email and through various operating system vulnerabilities such as the LSASS (MS04-011).

Virus: Zafi-D:

A mass-mailing worm and a peer-to-peer worm which replicates itself to the Windows system folder with the filename Norton Update.exe. It can then generate a quantity of files in the Windows system folder with filenames consisting of 8 random characters and a DLL extension. W32/Zafi-D replicates itself to folders with names containing words like ‘share’, ‘upload’, or ‘music’ as ‘ICQ 2005a new!.exe’ or ‘winamp 5.7 new!.exe’. W32/Zafi-D will also display a fake error message box with the caption “CRC: 04F6Bh” and the text “Error in packed file!”.

Virus: W32/Netsky-D:

A mass-mailing worm with IRC backdoor functionality which can also infect computers vulnerable to the LSASS (MS04-011) exploit.

Virus: W32/Zafi-B:

A peer-to-peer (P2P) and email worm that will reproduce itself to the Windows system folder as a randomly named EXE file. This worm will test for the presence of an Internet connection by trying to connect to google.com or microsoft.com. A bilingual, worm with an attached Hungarian political text message box which translates to “We demand that the government accommodates the homeless, tightens up the penal code and VOTES FOR THE DEATH PENALTY to cut down the increasing crime. Jun. 2004, SNAF Team”

Computer Repair Training

You frequently hear someone say that computers are taking over the world and it is indubitably true that a personal computer is a must for any enterprising individual hoping to establish him or her self in the world. The Internet and the personal computer have revolutionized the world in so many ways that it is it involved in almost all business activity these days.

Because of this, computer repair training is a thriving industry too. It is also practical to have some computer repair training oneself. For what would you do, if your personal computer; with all your valuable data, breaks down on a Sunday morning when all the computer repair shops are shut?

This is why some computer repair training is very important for all professionals and students hoping for ways to break through to the top. For them, computer repair skills would be a definite benefit.

Information Professionals across the world realize that it is necessary to obtain computer repair training. But avoiding computer repair training is a common error committed by young executives. The basic computer knowledge gained by computer repair training is essential when you are in a difficult situation. Some executives have understood the advantage of becoming certified by computer repair training centres.

But aside from executives becoming certified, many young people aspire to become professional computer technicians. It is certainly essential for young technicians to acquire suitable computer repair training from recognized institutes or universities. There are some companies that can deceive you into becoming certified by an inferior education establishment. This is most common on the Internet.

Although computer repairing seems like a low grade job, most people overlook the important fact that a high level of demand is being created by businesses and technology driven companies that need certified and experienced technicians to help run their business.

Therefore these technicians are well sought after. Although the fact remains that some technicians get fooled by phony colleges and get into bother when they begin working for real.

The correct selection of a computer repair training centre is therefore essential for young enthusiasts looking for a good job.

There are various levels of computer repair training on hand, from fundamental training to specialization in specific areas of computer repair and technological know-how. The basic training is targeted at professionals looking for some basic training to help them in their day to day commercial activities. The professional programs are available for IT Technicians who are looking for advanced qualifications.

Therefore, do not squander any more time thinking about computers and the problems they can be and start looking for a proper computer repair training program at a recognized centre right away.

Effective Ways To Start Blogging

Everybody has something to say and most people are passionate about something that they would like to talk on. Individuals would like to take this desire to talk a couple of stages further - they would like to tell the world about it. That was impossible less that twenty years ago, unless you managed to get on TV or were syndicated in the world’s press. Now, obviously, anyone can do it.

The Internet makes it possible for everybody to have their say. The young and the old, the rich and the poor can discuss what they like on the Internet. You can use a website as your soap box or you could use a specialized web site called a blog. If you cannot have your own web site for any reason, you could open a free blog at one of the many web sites that offer free blogs.

The word ‘blog’ is short for ‘web log’ and adding an piece to your blog is known as blogging. Blogs have become a very effective means of spreading one’s point of view. The latest form of blogging is micro-blogging, which is the generic description for Twitter.

Blogging has been used effectively by peoples of countries where the provision of human rights is not a government priority. Only recently, dissidents in Iran, Iraq and Myanmar have kept the world up-to-date about repression in their countries through blogs. The blogs were frequently reprinted in the world press and reported on the International news.

If you would like to blog for free, search Google for ‘free blogs’ and take a look about. There are dozens of free blog sites about and they all offer different features. Blogger by Google is one of the better ones, but there really are loads of different kinds of free blogs.

One thought is whether you would like your blog to be open or closed. That is, do you want anyone to be able to read it or do you want just a closed user group (CUG), which could include your friends, your
