Iam looking for the spare battery for my GS70, Now find one, not sure if it is worth to buy

Laptop battery for BTY-L76, GS70 Series, GS70 2QD-487CN computer batteries

Need more suggestions, please 

GS70 Power battery is not easy to find, please try to buy a OEM battery to check the Power system.

11.1v 5400mAh BTY-L76 Battery for GS70

Recently one of my client told us the battery BTY-M6J on our website of MSI GS73VR is not the same as his old battery.BTY-M6J laptop battery for MSI GS73VR

So we searched all the information and found two kinds of shapes for the battery type NO BTY-M6J (see image)

 98Wh 11.4V 5700mAh and 61.25Wh 7.6V 8060mAh

Here just to tell all the GS73VR user, please take a look at the battery shape before ordering battery.

Everything needs to confirm.

Tech Inferno Fan July-2015>> Anybody interested in the 12.5" 2570P should also consider a 14" Dell E6430. The E6430 is the superior performance platform due to it's 900P LCD option, NVidia dGPU option, unlockable turbo bins (+400Mhz) on i7-37xxQM/i7-38xxQM CPUs and x2 2.0 eGPU capability. All with a minor size/weight penalty. See http://forum.techinferno.com/dell-la...tml#post118135 for details.

 

Welcome to the 2570P Owner's Lounge! A place to liase with other owners and share useful tips/tricks/mods to get the most satisfying user experience from this exceptional ultraportable notebook. Release date: 22 June 2012, Model name: Inventec SIMBA, Nick name: EXtremeBook for i7-quad upgraded units

 

 

 

A 2570P can be had for as little as US$250 on ebay-US , still with remaining 3yr global onsite warranty. A bargain when you consider it's upgraded desktop-replacement performance and durable MIL-spec build in a small 12.5" package. A features set unmatched by any other Ivy Bridge or Haswell notebook that remains undisclosed by all online reviews and even by HP. Grab one before word gets out . 2570P highlights being: 

• 
  
• socketted CPU allows a easy user upgrade up to a 45W i7-quad, doubling i5/i7 dual-core CPU performance. The result of doing so being the smallest, most powerful systems available that can function as a desktop replacement. Ultraportable competitors like a 12-14" Lenovo X230/X1C/T430s, Dell E6230/E6330, Toshiba R930/R940 or 13" Macbook Pro all have soldered dual-core i5/i7 CPUs making CPU upgrades unfeasible. Need to upsize to a larger 14" Lenovo T430/T440 or (preferrably) a Dell E6440 to get a socketted CPU. 
   
• rare 5Gbps expresscard slot allows implementing a ~$160 [email protected] DIY eGPU for gaming graphics, CUDA/OpenCL processing or driving more external LCDs. 
   
• optical drive can be swapped with a second 2.5" 9.5mm SATA-III 6Gbps SSD or HDD in a caddy & in a JBOD, RAID-0 (performance) or RAID-1 (redundancy) configuration. Can have up to 4TB of internal storage (2x2TB 9.5mm). Or RAID-0 2xSSDs for superfast boot-times and > 1GB/s sequential transfers.
   
• eSATAp port allows external bootable SSD/HDD to be attached using a single eSATAp cable. Ultra convenient when you consider USB-only systems like Macbooks require complicated software workarounds to get a Win7/8 disk booted off their USB ports.
   
• upgradeable wifi : can upgrade to recently-released 802.11AC standard with a Broadcom BCM4352 or Intel 7260 HMW card as explained.
   
• internal WWAN/3G capable : install a whitelisted WWAN/3G card, insert a mobile SIM and surf the internet anywhere
   
• battery options include a 31Wh 3-cell, 62Wh 6-cell (9hrs) and 100Wh 9-cell battery (15hrs)
   
• is listed by laptopmag as a top 5 HP laptop of 2013 (Dec-2013) and top 10 business notebook (Apr-2013)

Comparison: http://forum.techinferno.com/what-no...html#post34610 concludes the 2570P is the best one.

Comparison: 12.5" HP 820 G1 (Haswell: 4th-gen i-core) versus 2570P (Ivy Bridge: 3rd gen i-core) in spoiler:

HP's 2013 successor to the 2570P, the "820 G1" is yet another take on an ultrabook thin but with business features and better LCD panels. The thinness and low weight targets have resulted in the 2570P's performance features being sacrificed: upgradeable CPU, ODD for second HDD/SSD, RAID-0/1 support, 5Gbps expresscard slot for eGPU use and probably the upgradeable wifi all gone!! A '820 G1' is a performance downgrade from a 2570P. It is more of a 12.5" successor to the ULV 2170P than the 2570P. What a disappointment from HP. 

Hence why a request for HP to make a Haswell 2570P successor, a "ZBook 12" was emailed. REF: Request for "ZBOOK 12" emailed to HP PSG head executive and reply received. The ZBook 14/15/17 range are HP's chunkier high performance 2013 Haswell notebook range this is missing a 12.5" unit.

Unfortunately the end result of that conversation being that in 12.5" there will only be a ULV "820 G1". The recommendation is to look at a 14" Probook 600 as being the smallest Haswell 2570P replacement. It has a socketted CPU, dual-drives, better HD/FHD panels and even a dGPU option. No expresscard slot though. The 12.5" 2570P small-and-mighty form factor being discontinued. 

I can't help but ask who marketted the 2560P/2570P? They'd win awards for stealth marketting since the 2560P/2570P was severly under-represented against the Lenovo X220/X230.

Difference between these systems is minor but in nearly all cases favors the 2570P. Hence no surpise the newer 2570P is a costlier unit.

- 2560P is TDP limited to 36W making i7-quad CPUs run at significantly lower-than-specced 4-core turbo frequencies. 2570P is TDP limited to 45W so can run their CPUs near their specced 4-core turbo frequency. REF: http://forum.techinferno.com/hp-busi...html#post79495

- 2560P uses a latch to secure the LCD down resulting in the top cover having latch cutouts as well as latches visible on the LCD bezel. 2570P uses magnets instead. The 2570P's omission of the latches and cutouts giving a cleaner LCD bezel and top cover appearance.

- 2570P nightlight gives a better spread across the keyboard.

- 2570P is RAID storage capable. 2560P is not.

- 2570P can host either a 35W/45W Ivy Bridge CPU or Sandy Bridge CPU. 2560P can only host a Sandy Bridge CPU. Ivy Bridge having the faster HD4000 iGPU and is built using the more power efficient 22nm lithography. There are efficient 35W quad-core Ivy Bridge CPUs. There are no 35W quad-core Sandy Bridge CPUs.

- 2570P has the newer Series-7 chipset which include USB 3.0. 2560P uses a Series-6 chipset with no USB 3.0

- 2560P does however have lower idle power consumption. I could get under 5W with one whereas the best a 2570P can do is 5.4W. This is probably due to USB 3.0 controller on the 2570P.

- 2570P supports DDR3L RAM. 2560P *I believe* does not.

- 2570P has a buggy WLAN bios whitelist allowing any WLAN cards to be used. 2560P only allows whitelisted WLAN cards to be used.

- 2570P has newer WWAN/Bluetooth whitelist cards.

- 2570P has boot Upgrade Bay bios option. 2560P doesn't by default - requires biosconfigutility.exe to set hidden option

Performance upgrade: i7-quad CPU resulting in 'IVB ZBook 12' or 'EXtremeBook'

Can effectively double the CPU performance going from a factory i5/i7 dual core to a i7-quad CPU. Could also be desirable if you wish to lower fan noise and temps. Running a i7-quad with max 99% CPU utilization results in noticably cooler temps than their dual-core counterparts without loss of performance, eg: cool i7-quads by bjorm's i7-3632QM or Aikimox's i7-3840QM. Note: warranty implications of a CPU upgrade - a factory-specced faster dual core up to i7-3520M 2.9 will not void warranty while a i7-quad will void the warranty if HP know about it as it wasn't offered with one. I'd keep the original CPU back and swap it back in if necessary. Upgraded 2570P i7-quad system examples are shown in the table above.

NOTE: A 45W CPU can have highest multiplier limited to a 35W CPU level using Throttlestop software. That means a 45W i7-3630QM/i7-3610M (turbo=3.4/3.3Ghz) runs like a 35W i7-3632QM/i7-3612QM (turbo=3.2/3.1Ghz). Best 45W i7-quads being a i7-3630QM (x32) , i7-3720QM (x34) and i7-3740QM/3820QM (x35). There is at max 9% 4-core peformance difference between these with the higher end ones often not being able to maintain their upper multipliers as shown here. Meaning, suggest grab whichever is available and of lowest cost in your area.

The 4-core TDP limit means any faster 45W CPUs do not see any gains. If need more performance and have deeper pockets then consider purchasing a 55W i7-3920XM instead. It has an additional 10W heatroom for turbo. Though it will absolutely need cooling mods to be able to accomodate at that level. <- 55W CPU is being limited to 45W on a 2570P as shown.

It's possible to get and install cheaper PGA-to-BGA converted i7-quad CPUs as demonstrated by pandaleo.

Performance upgrade: external graphics (eGPU)

DIY eGPU to attach a desktop videocard via the 2570P's 5Gbps expresscard slot. Provides accelerated gaming graphics, CUDA/OpenCL processing and additional HDMI/DVI outputs to drive multiple monitors. 

To do this most users only need to set System configuration->Device configuration expresscard slot from Generation 1 to Generation 2 as shown below:



A NVidia GTX460/560/660/670 is a straight plug-n-play implementation on a 2570P when using Windows 7, though Win8.x is problematic (src: here). Win8.x users may consider doing a UEFI installation instead which resolved error12 and gave hotplug capabilities as noted here.

An AMD card, GTX650, GTX750, GTX9xx or older NVidia cards require a DSDT override and (maybe) DIY eGPU Setup 1.x interposer software to eradicate error 12 that prevents their functionality. See the 2570P DSDT override details if using one of these cards.

Implemented on a 2570P at x1.2Opt speed (5Gbps + compression) using a NVidia GTX670 (jacobsson), GTX660Ti (Tech Inferno Fan), GTX560Ti (bjorm), GTX660 (dewos), GTX560Ti (hatoblue), GTX650Ti (phillofoc)

System mod: LCD upgrade

 

The supplied LCD is a 12.5" single-LVDS TN panel,  HP P/N 685504-001 which is a AUO B125XW02 V.0 or Samsung LTN125AT02 with relatively narrow viewing angles and around 45% gamut.

higher-resolution panels: not possible as HP has confirmed 2570P has only single-LVDS wired per details

System mods: cooling and fan quietening

Recommended reading - INFO: Tech Inferno Fan findings on improving 2570P cooling system

Notebook FanControl - easier to configure than TPFanControl. Can set 2.5% (2825 rpm)-100% (5120 rpm) manual fan control or temperature-based rules. Nice. Though because there isn't a 2570P configuration item I use a HP 8560P or ZBook 15 instead.
troubadix's TPFanControl allows software fan step control though doesn't alter the cut-in RPMs which bjorm says is 3072rpm

Appearance and interface: magnesium alloy body business interface

● The appearance and use of materials

High strength material to the positioning the flagship of Commerce this will build the fuselage, the HP EliteBook 2570p body adopts high-strength magnesium alloy, with silver surface grinding process, with strong metal texture and also can effectively prevent fingerprint residue . 2570p whole shape design very low-key, nor around the rounded handle the current popular to abandon fashion elements only for the professional business.
 

HP 2570p magnesium alloy body with a high degree of robustness

 

Lithium battery using the HP 2570p randomly equipped the kyphosis design, this is tantamount to increase the width of the fuselage, but large-capacity lithium battery can also bring more endurance.

● Body thickness
 

2570p rear fuselage thickest approximately 34.25mm, and the front of the fuselage of 30.95mm, thickness or normal the Almighty business this machine who can design more expansion interface.

● Extended Interface
 

Almighty business this has a very well-equipped business interface design, the HP 2570p fuselage front end does not design any expansion interface, and most of the area of the rear fuselage, while lithium batteries occupy, but the left and right sides of the battery is still VGA, and dual USB3.0 interface.
 

HP 2570p expansion interface design more concentrated in the fuselage left and right ends of the left side of the fuselage interface follows the power, RJ-45, RJ-11, DVD drive and Smart Card, the right side of the fuselage interface from right left turn for notebook lock the docking connector eSATA/USB2.0, DisplayPort, headphone / microphone, SD card reader and ExpressCard. View 2570p expansion interface is very well equipped, even the old RJ-11 interface has also been retained, two USB3.0 plus a USB2.0 also be able to meet the demand for the use of the most of the time, although 2570p DisplayPort interface , but the lack of a more mainstream HDMI interface looks a little regret.

● portability
 

 

The HP 2570p bare metal weight of 1.96kg, travel weight of 2.41kg, this weight is quite normal for a performance mainstream business of the Almighty metal.

Chapter Summary: HP EliteBook 2570p on the body design is very introverted, magnesium-alloy high-strength material can effectively protect the safety of the fuselage, the surface layer of matte treatment has a good anti-fingerprint effect. More normal body thickness and portability. Interface, in addition to 2570p with HDMI outside the flagship business of the proper mainstream interface connected to the docking station can further enhance scalability.

12.5-inch matte screen spill-resistant keyboard display and manipulation:

● Screen
 

HP EliteBook 2570p with a 12.5-inch LED matte screen resolution is 1366x768, 12.5-inch mainstream is also the business of the frequently used screen size, actual use, and 13-inch screen is not much difference. The matte surface is indispensable for high-end business, which can effectively prevent the glare caused by the interference of the human eye while enhancing the notebook display. The actual use of the process, a good piece of screen display, more accurate color reproduction, viewing angle of approximately 150 degrees left and right direction.
 

HP EliteBook 2570p with alloy hinge sunken shaft the screen high fastness, 2570p screen the maximum opening angle of more than 180 degrees, which is also an important high-end business logo.

● camera

● control experience 
 

HP 2570p is equipped with a high-touch black chocolate spill-resistant keyboard, the key processes and key spacing design is very reasonable, prolonged beating also be able to maintain a good feeling. Although this keyboard does not have a backlight function, but by means of the camera to the right of the keyboard lights in low light conditions and accurate identification keys. This as the flagship business, let your hands do not leave the area of the keyboard to move the cursor pointing stick natural essential 2570p black the TrackPoint design in the middle of the keyboard position.
 

2570p touchpad uses the same metal grinding treatment, feel comfortable, precise positioning on the below the the four shortcuts resistance are very small, the key sound is also very light. Up and down two shortcuts used with the TrackPoint, the bottom two and trackpad for use with two combinations, allowing those different habits.
