Shortly after I received the DR-15s, Glen replaced them with a single silver Classé Fifteen. I found the amplifier to be highly accurate sonically, but overly polite-sounding. The DR-15 had been produced when David Reich was a member of the design team. I first heard the Fifteen in an earlier version, the DR-15, when Classé's president Glen Grue shipped me an all-black pair of them while I was reviewing the Classé Six Mk.II preamplifier (Vol.17 No.2, p.107). The Classé Fifteen solid-state stereo amplifier is just such a surprise. It makes the listening exciting and the writing easier. The review then becomes an exciting discovery, reaffirming the pleasure one takes in good audio, and in listening to music being reproduced as it should be.

They continually run different utilities just to gain a few 'perceived' percentage points of performance (which they never utilise anyway) they install other utilities that continually provide long performance reports on each of the computer's systems which they then analyse in depth and then go into panic mode when something does not match their perceived tolerances.I think every audio reviewer hopes for a surprise-when a good, but not outstanding, product is refined by the manufacturer into something special. Working on a hard surface is advisable, though, to keep from overheating.Īt the end of the day a laptop computer is a tool use it as it was designed to be used and let it make your computing life easier, not more complicated.Ī lot of people, it appears to me, allow their computer to control them as opposed to them controlling the computer and using it productively. It should work flat, elevated, tilted or upside down. Many people tilt theirs up with a block under the back side to facilitate ventilation. As for the computer needing to be on a flat surface, I've never heard that one before. It is best to close the display down when moving around, although for moving short distances this should not be a problem. There's not light saber, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars type sudden movements or me pretending I'm Luke Skywalker.

The greatest risk of moving around with your computer on and the display comes from possible accidental damage.īut then, when I'm moving around the office or my home or wherever with my Mac switched on I do so with the pace and care one does if they were walking with a cup of coffee. Please respond as I, and a million and one other laptop users (Mac or PC), are really concerned with your comments!!!! NOT!!!!!

Hardly a day goes by when I don't move around with it while it's, 'gasp', switched on!!!Īre you saying that this is wrong and I should immediately stop doing that? What about when I'm on a train? Can I switch it on then? How about when I'm on an airplane? Should I not switch on my Apple Mac laptop?

There's nothing you can do about the damage you've already done to the HDD, but you can at least do your best to limit the damage you do in the future. AFTER that, you can pick it up and carry it to another room. Then wait about 5 seconds to make sure it's in sleep mode. In the future, when you're going to move from one room to the other, CLOSE THE LID. In the days when the term was coined, laptops were 3-4 inches thick, and they didn't generate as much heat. Even your lap is pushing it with modern laptops. So carpets, beds, blankets, pillows, etc. It should also be a HARD surface, to make sure there's plenty of ventilation. It should also be a STABLE surface, not some wobbly table. When a laptop is turned on it should be sitting on a nice FLAT surface. Doing so WILL shorten the life of your HDD, and it WILL greatly increase the odds that you will damage it in such a way that recovery of data will be impossible. It does NOT mean that you should move it while in operation. Portable, with laptops, means that if it's turned off, or at least in sleep mode, you can move it with ease relative to a desktop. NEVER move a laptop when it is on, unless the goal is to kill the HDD. It's probably the HDD's sudden motion sensor doing it's best to protect the drive against your rather foolish, some might even say stupid, actions.
