HP Mini 110 Series Design And Performance Review

December 30th, 2011 No comments

The Internet is still a hot market is bound to the battlefield, according to the current market price of view, this cottage has been slowly near the end, while the concerns and needs of online consumer groups still active in this. To ensure quality, large PC makers always like in appearance and human design, continue to innovate. Hewlett-Packard last year released a series of Mini products, with beautiful fashion appearance and functional Compaq Mini 102 battery design, a listing of today’s youth has been sought after. Today HP has designed and innovation, recently added a new family member gave the Mini – HP Mini 110.

Using a proprietary HP Mini 110 HP Imprints “Dancer pattern” HP Imprint technique, corner arc curves better treatment effect, which gives itself beautiful fashion Mini 110, added a touch of superior sense of quality. Material is still used in ABS plastic, in our testing process, cover the surface with your fingers when pressing its case without any depression. Mini 110 has a pretty good description of the wear-resistant, stain-and scratch-resistant capabilities.

When we open the HP Mini 110, you can see from the front cover, which uses a slot-design the current mainstream. Piano paint in the surrounding border, the retraction of a 10.1-inch glossy widescreen display. In our test use, the display effect is still quite good. But unfortunately the screen resolution is only 1024 × 567, so that the resolution brought about by the small print to produce Compaq Mini 110c-1040SS battery visual experience inconvenience, but less regular than the column is not always realistic feel complete. Now almost all of the laptops are built-in camera, of course, Mini 110, too, built on top of the frame with a 1.3 megapixel camera, left and right sides of the microphone, user can at any time for business meetings and video chat.

HP Mini 110 in the clever design of the speakers at the bottom of the screen, and occupy a larger area. Benefits of this design is that it gives a larger area around the sound, and images can also closer to giving the user an immersive three-dimensional feel. However, the shaft sinking lower part of the design would speaker audio has been affected.

HP Mini 110 appearance and characteristics

Said shaft portion, the HP Mini 110 will not increase the body’s use of the thickness of the sunken shaft. However, limited by the curvature of the shaft, the machine’s screen can only reach the maximum open angle of 160 degrees. But many times we found that fast switching test, the damping force of the HP Mini 110-1150ED battery output shaft of the general, but did not loose any of the phenomenon, but the audio output of the speaker has little effect.

Small size notebook keyboard always makes special attention to the operation of a sense of comfort is not easy to make people tired, button layout more reasonable to improve the efficiency of input. HP Mini 110 to control the keyboard can be very good. Using 92% of the full-size keyboard occupies almost a full body base, the area of ​​each keycap keyboard are great, but there are some slight surface subsidence to the middle. It also uses HP’s DuraKey coating technology, this can effectively avoid prolonged use, leading to emergence of polished keycap lit situation. Keys have a good rebound efforts to ensure the handle when struck, the spacing is properly Compaq Mini 110c-1040SS battery controlled to avoid the rapid entry of time online. And the bottom of the keyboard there is the plastic film, but also the entire keyboard with a certain amount of water resistance.

Because the whole area of ​​the tray is not big, so the touchpad is relatively small, the touchpad seems to be more slender features. High sensitivity coupled with full feeling, and have not caused a small and convenient operation. However, the input ends of the touchpad keys separate, in practice really inconvenient. The switch is also located in front of the design ingenuity, in the boot state, the power switch on the left continued to issue a white light. The right of the wireless network switch is turned to blue light, red light when closed. Scattered light to the original style of the Mini 110 has added a strong sense of technology.

HP Mini 110 Interface and weight

Is a strong function of the interface to the laptop directly affect the expansion of capacity, and in the interface are often small size of the Internet it is easy to worry about. The interface for the HP Mini series, Mini 110 for a more practical improvement. Particular machine to provide a three USB2.0 interface and a VGA video output interface.
Machine on the left followed by security slot, power Compaq Mini 110c-1000SN battery connector, cooling holes, USB2.0 interface, audio input and output interfaces, in particular, to say the next audio interface, shared in the output and input in the form of an interface, more convenient in use .
Followed by the whole right side of the interface RJ-45 Ethernet port, VGA video output interfaces, multi-card reader and 2 × UBS2.0 interface. HP is also careful Ethernet card installed below the status indicator, not only allow users to understand network conditions, green and yellow lights flashing, but also brings color to the black magic of colorful elements.

HP Mini 110 in the front and back, and no interface. But in the end set the switch button, hard drive status indicator, Power mode indicator and wireless network switch button, and increased more than in the middle of a cooling hole. In the back As a result of sinking shaft design, it is impossible to Compaq Mini 110c-1110SA battery design any interface, and is easy to see the entire back is a battery. Remove the battery and you can see a SIM card slot, this card is necessary for 3G can be Fun.

Portable Internet is the most important features of the HP Mini 110′s exterior dimensions of 17.2 × 26.15 × 2.63 ~ 3.27cm cm. And weight, because the HP Mini 110 with a 2.5-inch hard drive, built-in VGA interface’s sake. Although the volume of thickening, but the weight has been progress, with the whole battery in the case of the 1.141Kg. HP does not say on the Mini 110 is the next effort of.

HP Mini 110 configuration and testing

From the design and interface layout can be seen on the HP Mini 100 battery, a lot of thought to make improvements. The Internet can be said that all current hardware configuration is similar, too, are one of the HP Mini 110, but in the processor or small advantage. I used the following we take a test under the HP Mini 110 EVERest specific configuration.

HP Mini 110 with Intel Atom N280 processor and i945GSE chipset, integrated GMA950 graphics chip, equipped with 1GB DDRII-800 memory, 160GB hard drive, built-in wireless LAN and 3G modules. This mainstream Internet configuration to meet daily needs, while also Fun 3G, all the time can swim in the network.

It is not difficult to see a production by the Fujitsu hard disk, the average read speed of 53.7MB / s, burst maximum read speed of 72.5MB / sec. Through the sequential read speed graph view, the ups and downs in the entire running relatively large magnitude, according to the value of the display, the hard drive to run is quite satisfactory. Overall health may have an impact.

HP Mini 110 heat and life

Small size of the Internet, will not close because of the internal space of the cooling effect caused by the poor? As located in the outside portable netbook battery life but also in how long? I believe these questions will become the factors affecting the purchase of the Internet. Cooling capacity HP Mini 110-1100 battery while also directly affect the stability of the laptop hardware to run, but also affect human use of comfort.

We are at room temperature 26 ℃ environment, boot HP Mini 110 runs after two hours, with infrared detection Wenyi inspection body surface and the back of the key parts of the temperature. When the temperature exceeds body temperature, there will be an uncomfortable experience. Test by infrared detection Wenyi, we see the keyboard surface temperature is very moderate, but the touch pad at higher temperatures. The back of the memory at temperatures up to 42 ℃. They still urge people not to put to use in notebook computers placed, not on their own legs to use.

HP Mini 110 more for the whole thin, with a standard 3-cell lithium-ion battery, a capacity 10.8V 28WHr. We also use BatteryMark software to test their endurance, the final score of 2 hours and 55 minutes. Can be said that this result is still in the 3-cell battery in the law-abiding.

Summary

HP Mini 110 in the extension of HP Mini 110-1011TU battery benefits beyond the traditional predecessors, and made further improvements to a variety of user-friendly design. Has a beautiful fashion appearance, less than 1 inch thick, with battery weight is only 1.141Kg, small size and light weight make it the most portable HP family of products, and ultra-portable design is Mini 110 the biggest bright spot. And then with Broadcom’s high-definition video accelerator card, you can smooth 1080p HD video playback, this netbook also solved a major bottleneck. Especially like the individuality of friends, this netbook is worth considering the best choice.

Compaq EVO N400C Notebook Hardware test

December 29th, 2011 1 comment

Before entering the subject, I would like and we talk about EVO N400C predecessor: Armada M300, from the following description we will see who has the M300 N400C shadow, M300, and N400C Compaq as the top two generations of commercial ultra-thin full plug-in laptop in the market have a good sales record, the design concept, there are many attractions, the M300′s profile Compaq 167335-002 battery will help us more depth and detailed understanding of the new generation of N400C.

PII’s M300 is the most popular models on the market, and the same site before the introduction of M700, M300 models from the Celeron 333 no significant changes beginning over the design, description of the M300 design is excellent and has a very good looking !

M300 has Celeron333, Pentium II333, Pentium III500, Pentium III600 four specifications, the model until the last PIII600MHz increased only in the top four Internet keyboard shortcut keys, starting from the PIII model, M300 the card as a standard built-in components, PII The M300 is no standard built-in network card.

PII’s European and American brands in notebook computers, M300 is almost the only material used to make aluminum-magnesium alloy top and bottom cover, with black eye-catching body design and top cover on the Compaq nameplate, M300 seems very professional and reliable.

The main advantage is the compact M300 rugged laptop in the same configuration in top speed and system stability, and the speaker Compaq 213282-001 battery sound is similar models in the best, M300 is the most similar models in the port range and good heat dissipation models.

M300 The main drawback is the battery life is short, because the use of plug-type cylindrical batteries, M300 battery life less than two hours. In order to take into account the body with small, M300 keyboard that generally, the distance between the keycap small, requires the user to adapt to a period of time.

Higher in other brands launched ultra-thin models when configured, Compaq has been on hold, continue on the market M300, until September 2001, Compaq EVO just launched a new series to replace the series before the Armada, EVO series currently include EVO N600C and EVO N400C, respectively, Armada M700 and M300 of the new generation of improved models. Predecessor Armada M300 from the excellent design features inherited from the latest EVO N400C, he did not live up to our expectations, Evo (Evolution), represents the Compaq 231445-001 battery evolution and development of sublimation. Evo products for commercial access areas Presario consumer-oriented products and lifestyle-oriented products constitute the COMPAQ iPAQ’s future, “Three Musketeers.”

M300 EVO N400C has a shadow, but also on the M300 has been a significant transformation.

Network capacity strengthening: EVO series with a common MutilPort (Chinese name is called “Wan Tong Bao”) interface, you can connect is compliant with IEEE802.11b standard wireless LAN (WLAN) module, you can also connect BlueTooth (BT) module. EVO series all the built-in 10/100 Ethernet LAN networking on the host and 56K Medem.

Comfort improvements: N400c M300 uses a pointing stick instead of the touchpad, pointing stick makes N400C to use full-size keyboard keycap also lengthened the trip, before the M300 keyboard feels good enough to get a lot of shortcomings of improvement. N400C retained the original four on the M300 Internet shortcut keys, and installation of the hardware volume control buttons, the interface position have also been adjusted making wiring easier.

The appearance of landscaping: EVO N400C completely changed the appearance of the original M300 more rigid impression cap with the symbol of technology in the future of the gray, white color tone, eye-catching Compaq embedded into the plate, looks very beautiful.
Even the power transformer was changed to the more compact Mini type, and compact body with a very harmonious.
Better scalability design: N400C adds a USB interface, a total of two USB ports located in the fuselage easy to use, but retained the M300 on a special plug-in Compaq pp2051a battery interface, making the host does not need any accessories you can install two battery, second battery can also cater to the role of the keyboard bracket, stunning clever design.
Features Comments

We tested this N400C production from Taiwan, the configuration is the Mobile Pentium III 850MHz, Intel 440BX chipset, 128M memory, 20G Hitachi hard drive, 12.1-inch XGA resolution TFT, ATI Rage Mobility M1 graphics card (8M SGRAM video memory), Battery 1960mAh .

From the configuration point of view, this machine’s basic and site evaluation prior to SONY PCG-R505AFC flat, but somewhat less in the graphics part (R505 is the Intel 815EM chipset built-in graphics), so in subsequent tests, we will N400C memory to 256M (prior to when the test R505AFC 256M memory), the increase in memory is the same KingForce PC133 SDRAM.

The new keyboard and mouse: N400C Keyboard M300 feel bad in order to improve the shortcomings of the original touchpad into a pointing stick, freeing more space for the keyboard, which can be the same in the case of body size desktop computer uses the same size and spacing of 19mm key keyboard, and keycap trip deepened, flexibility has improved, people are used N400C Keyboard M300 may not be able to endure, and Oh!

Improved interface and new layout of the port: M300′s external battery can be used to cater to the keyboard stand, but the battery is in parallel position and fuselage, behind all the host ports will be blocked, most users can not fold when the battery carry a laptop computer, so users must keep the M300 and fold flat battery (unless you do not use all the back of the console interface), which caused the M300′s battery interface more susceptible to wear and tear, N400C this made improvements to the bottom of the main battery to move the machine, this could allow the battery to become keyboard stand, so that there is a certain angle of the keyboard to improve typing feel, and can not stop the host behind the port, M300 battery interface susceptible to wear and tear problems are thus resolved.

N400C adjust the position of the Compaq evo n400c battery interface, the original host on the back of the M300 on the VGA output, USB and infrared ports are moved to the side for ease of use, N400C added a USB port, two USB ports located in the fuselage on both sides, the design and SONY R505 of the same nature, for those of us like a bunch of laptop peripherals connected players is very easy to use.

Port layout

Infrared interface, moved to the side of the fuselage is a good improvement, the original M300 IR interface design in the fuselage behind, to use this interface must be under the main battery pack, but folded back under the battery was boosted after the host, the infrared Interface has become tilted upward, then you have to other infrared devices farther away from the infrared interface Compaq 292389-001 battery can transmit dead, already in the back of the infrared interface, so use more convenient, N400C infrared interface to move the machine the left side of the body much more convenient to operate.

N400C also adds a video output, Armada M700 inherited the fine traditions, the video output terminal is not the usual S-Vedio terminal, instead of using the more common RCA terminals, both in newer or older on TV can use, compatibility invincible.

Theoretically, S-Vedio terminal is Y / C separation (separation of luminance and chrominance signals), you can get better image quality, but in fact in addition to DVD playback, the average person is very difficult to clearly see the RCA jack and S-Vedio terminal image effects, respectively, and then instead of versatility and compatibility is more important.

In addition to this new interface, 1394 interface has not been outside (in fact, can be achieved through the PC Card), Compaq evo n400c battery can add WLAN functionality by MutilPort module, making it the most complete on the host port of ultra-thin notebooks full plug-in, which is on the IBM X22 SONY PCG-R505 and then to be phenomenal.

Work on the changes: the generation of the M300 top and bottom covers are magnesium alloy, and the N400C canceled bottom magnesium alloy design, to strengthen the ordinary ABS plastic, the overall feeling is N400C work than the M300 declined, especially bottom part of the more obvious, we tested this N400C battery installed in the main area near the edges should not have even appeared, and good in the end Compaq 291693-001 battery cover is not obvious. N400C’s sound is smaller than M300, there is a certain gap. Because of the lack of M300 the bottom of the reason that a large horn.

Other: weight N400C and M300 almost, a little bit heavy (not said if we believe you not feel), host weight is 1.65Kg.

Overall

N400C is not in configuration and performance advantages, and other top brands compared to ultra-thin laptops, general Compaq evo n410 battery performance fall under the wind, and the price is not much advantage, we feel that N400C has the advantage of system stability, the port is complete , comfortable and well-designed keyboard. If you are an old M300 user, we sincerely recommend N400C, you will find the familiar in the above sense of familiarity and progress. If your application does not include 3D games and production, but also a comfortable and stable, the port range of ultra-thin notebook PCs, we recommend to you N400C.

Weight of about 3.5-3.8 kg (with battery and optical drive)
Pre-installed operating system WindowsXP (SP1) Home Edition

As a low-cost machines, R3000 machine plastic intelligence, cover and chassis are black, open the machine is silver, this color seems somewhat strange, but we believe that there was still a lot of friends like R3000, after all, relatively broad-brush shape, the pursuit of a HP Pavilion ZV5000 battery Founder atmospheric feel, the body only a few of the decorative style is simple.

R3000 in the structure design, for the first time after this the screen hinge is set to move to the back below the roof level of a high position, that a similar design with the S series SONY have great similarities. The advantage is you can reduce the thickness of the whole; while the location of this shaft design, think more of appreciation.

Workmanship, R3000 HP has always been fully inherited the fine style, make it difficult for them to single out the slightest problems. In addition, the weight and size in R3000 can be said to be a giant, both are the same type of machine than the large full circle, portability is almost zero there is screen lock COMPAQ mark on the Open button. This design little alternative {1}

On the screen, widescreen home entertainment has become a synonym for the notebook models, HP R3000 selected for 16:10 aspect ratio WXGA (1280 × 800) widescreen LCD display. Screen performed Compaq HSTNN-DB02 battery well in actual use, not only high brightness (unfortunately not bright screen), colorful, and has a very wide viewing angle. For those who like to use the laptop for watching DVD’s friends it is a good choice.

The interface, the fat of R3000 described as ranging, in addition to including the popular USB interface, network interface, audio interface endures, but also provides IEEE1394, S-Vedio, card reader and a series of interfaces, even also provides a port replicator port, can be said to meet a variety of different users of scalability requirements. The first generation of widescreen with HP X1000 and other than the port layout has been improved a lot, such as the X1000, two USB, RJ11, RJ45 are on the back, and R3000 in addition to the parallel port and VGA, the other interfaces are arranged on the left and right sides, the fight possibility has been greatly reduced. one card reader (SD / MS / PRO / MMC / SM) for the owners of DC’s comrades can be a great boon.

And HP has also left a number of their own unique trailer, or floppy Compaq HSTNN-DB03 battery drive can be fitted with three USB ports, but unfortunately the trailer I still have not found {26}

As R3000 large body, and thus fit for HP easily a full-size keyboard. In actual use, we found that the keyboard feels quite good, reflecting the consistent level of HP (and IBM, of course, still far from {4}). The middle of the keyboard and wrist rest position there is a bright silver trimmings, like people will think it makes the whole look seems very solemn, do not like it may be too rigid and, from a practical point of view Compaq HSTNN-IB04 battery to use it Because of silver decorated with a bright surface, is more prone to wear, I have been in use for some time a slight wear.

Touchpad below the keyboard mouse also conform to the screen made of a 16:10 ratio of appearance, but also has the right and the top of the screen with a concavity scroll mouse pad area and a separate switch button (this has become HP’s iconic design), so that users can more easily and accurately control and positioning the mouse.

The bottom of the mouse is in the well-known in the laptop speakers JBL Pro speakers (this is the HP logo design), the Compaq Presario R3000 battery has the notebook is quite satisfied with the sound.

R3000 in the drive in order to achieve higher performance to give the notebook to the most commonly used to achieve the best performance, power consumption than the 8X DVD-ROM, but the use of faster, comparable to desktop 16X DVD-ROM , so that users can read DVD data to the desktop-like experience high speed.

Although the R3000 is mainly for the less demanding family of mobile users, but for laptops it has a certain mobility is quite necessary. So HP is equipped with a Compaq HSTNN-UB02 battery capacity for reaching 14.8V 4400mAh lithium-ion battery, nominal R3000 can support a strong run for 3 hours. (Actually what, hehe ~ ~) {3}

In order to meet the strong demand in power consumption R3000, R3000 is equipped with the power of the volume is quite large, reaching full power of an ordinary notebook twice. But also heat a lot of big, I believe completely in winter for use as a Hand Warmer oh. {5}

HP software in random or not give us a special surprise, in addition to the PDF manuals, software, restore, Norton, WINDOWS will be no outside, perhaps in two versions of an English XP CD is the only color of the Compaq Presario R3000AP battery Department, this is the HP practice, may be sent to XP HP that other software seems to send more than the actual bar {1}

Before the test to say:
R3000 install the Simplified Chinese version of WindowsXP Home Edition + SP2, DirectX 9b and the accompanying driver (in HP official website update), the system is set to performance, priority, power management set to home mode, in addition to MobileMark battery-driven outside the rest of the test items are In the case of an external AC power, guaranteeing the machine to run at peak performance. Wider coverage of test software, including the SiSoftware Sandra 2004, PCMark 02/04 (1.20), 3DMark 01, Nero CD Speed ​​and MobileMark 2002 and so on.

As the R3000 are for the user group is mainly home users, so the CPU is used in the selection of portable Pentium 4 2.8GHz processor, which supports 533MHz FSB, has a strong floating point performance, the machine provides a powerful Compaq DP390A battery core support.
Hard disk is TOSHIBA’s 4025GKS, 4200RPM. A capacity of 40GB, the results in SiSoftware Sandra is also good.

Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
Int Buff iSSE2 (MB / s) 2307
Float Buff iSSE2 (MB / s) 2312

Finally, MobileMark 2002, the testing results from MobileMark, high-performance processor and hard drive does not move for the overall performance of a surprise, but another we all a little disappointed. With a R3000 processor clocked at 2.8GHz to get 140 performance score, the score reached only about platform based on Pentium-M 1.4GHz machine Compaq PP2100 battery level. In addition, the battery life time I believe I need I have to say we have been able to guess a ballpark to the bar, and the final test results show that the R3000 battery can support the full speed for about 2 hours. This time, though not long, but in the same type of machine can also be considered.

Home Office Partners HP Pavilion G4 Notebook Review

December 17th, 2011 No comments

Pavilion tour people g series is HP’s release late last year, the positioning of consumer notebooks, compared to more high-end dv series, g series although lagged in selected materials, but manufacturers in maintaining the exquisite workmanship of the premise, the more attractive prices, that in the same configuration g series more cost-effective.

With the second generation of the release of Core Duo processor i, g series HP Pavilion notebook tour people are doing innovation work. Today I got a model for the HP Pavilion g4-1018TU product, it is equipped with Intel Core i5-2410M processor, the configuration is not equipped with discrete HP Pavilion G4 battery graphics make it even more suitable for home office purposes (playing the game the user will be disappointed a), while the official price of 4599 is also very approachable. As it worth paying the money to please the users to judge by the following article.

First, the HP Pavilion g4 Appearance

HP Pavilion g4 case of the main material for plastic, but with a special design process did not give a sense of strong plastic. The composite material titanium gray or even to bring a trace of metallic machine, and a relatively low use of color makes it even that is a business notebook.

Of course, making the positioning of consumer notebooks at HP Pavilion g4 color can not be so monotonous, it also provides a Sonoma red and champagne colors. Currently in the domestic market only titanium gray, and the remaining two colors only in some countries or regional sales, and believe it will be in domestic sales.

Temperament rounded corners and smooth the transition for the whole line, screen wrapped in a metal shaft embellishment, fashion and texture of nature itself.

Open the screen on the operation of direct hand contact and the region as the previous HP keep it simple and one of the g series. Surface is no longer integrated palm rest with C, forming a gray palm rest is not wrapped in a black frame shape, farewell monotonous and calm me.

Compared to the glossy cover, the bottom of the fuselage HP PAVILION N5472 battery grinding process is unknown underground workers. Inlet relatively modest number of anti-cockroach hole and are designed, as the actual cooling effectiveness, the latter article will tell you.

Second, the HP Pavilion g4 operating experience

Top of the screen is an integrated digital microphone (VGA) of the Webcam camera, video calls daily to meet demand. The left side of the camera lights to remind users to change the running status of devices.

G42 keyboard is still the same with the suspension design, it can be observed from the side described as a “convex” character, such a design while maintaining the key and key spacing and dust can play a good role.

Through the actual operation, found that the HP Pavilion g4 keyboard keys soft, normal input button will appear below slab deformation, giving a weak sense without the wind. However, the input is still good feel for a long time typing, the other often need to remind comrades games to ecstasy, do not let the button fly.

No area above the keyboard shortcut keys, the user only through the combination of Fn + Fx keys for fast operation. Only a power button located on the left side of the region, concave strip is designed to facilitate user orientation, even in low light conditions, you can easily start.

HP Pavilion g4 touchpad design shines, the first floating-point HP Pavilion N6402 battery type of design is quite comfortable, then there is a touch panel with integrated touch-fast switch. Switch to the use of concave design with touchpad distinction, this switch can be achieved by double-clicking on / off touchpad operation, very creative.

Third, the HP Pavilion g4 interface layout

HP Pavilion g4 in the interface layout cq42, g42 basically the same, the difference is between the VGA and RJ45 more than a row of cooling air outlet, the outlet area to a larger increase in the amount of wind, I believe there will be a greater help to the heat. It is worth mentioning that, Pavilion g4 is also equipped with double-layer support and LightScribe Disc Labeling technology DVD ± R / RW burner.

HP Pavilion g4 has three USB 2.0 ports, of which two closely adjacent the left side of the fuselage, two more conventional insert the USB plug at the same time is also very difficult, more external USB device can consider buying hub to solve the congestion problem.
As a result of sunken shaft design, the HP Pavilion g4 rear of the fuselage is no excuse. A pair of front fuselage to support the impression of Altec Lansing speakers SRS.

Speaker is designed in the front of the fuselage is relatively reasonable, the ears and soothing intimate contact directly, and through the driver’s control panel can be manually adjusted according to individual preferences into a variety of audio, and high school through the actual experience of the speaker HP Pavilion ZE1250 battery bass is more balanced, and its sound quality is basically located in the upper level of the current notebook market, of course, the bass can not be compared to a brand of JBL speakers.

Open the fuselage bottom, easy to ordinary users to upgrade memory and hard part of the show out. HP Pavilion g4 with a single 2GB memory and a memory card slot reserved for future upgrades.

Fourth, the HP Pavilion g4 hardware performance

Positioning consumer notebook, HP Pavilion g4 and not equipped with discrete graphics, with more calm colors, we can also see it as a home office products.

HP Pavilion g4 equipped with Intel Core i5-2410M, this CPU is currently the most equipped with second-generation notebook processor Core i preferred, compared to the first generation of Core i series processors, the second generation of Core i series processor in the user The major upgrade of the operating experience has three: 1.32nm process technology, bringing improved performance and lower power consumption; 2 combines the performance was comparable to entry-level single GPU, the video encoding / decoding capacity; 3 . Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, demand for performance tuning.

Intel Core i5-2410M dual core four threads, clocked at 2.30GHz, Turbo after the single-threaded up to 2.90GHz, 3MB of level three cache, just from the parameters, its deal with everyday computing tasks more onerous no problem through the Cinebench R10 test, the higher the score also proved this point.

HP Pavilion g4 equipped with a 640GB 5400 rpm HP Pavilion ZT1125 battery hard drive, due to lack of capacity do not believe on the second investment, but through the HD Tune test, its stability far from satisfactory, and since the reasons for inadequate software support, and does not show the temperature.

Fifth, the HP Pavilion g4 custom software

HP laptop built-in software has been ease of use and full access to a computer for users who just very convenient, at a glance. Custom software is also equipped with some of the blind pursuit of cost, ignoring the user experience of the vendors do not have.

HP Support Assistant literal translation is the HP G42-100 battery Support Assistant, which is divided into maintenance, troubleshooting, study, get help four sub-items, it is the custom for the computer novice and the conscience.

Maintenance options to optimize the overall performance were mainly divided into setting restore points, defrag, hardware and software to solve the problem. The optimization process may take longer to complete, and the system optimization process will be slow in the case, it is proposed such as the break and then do this.

Setup Manager can set and view HP Pavilion g4 have some important function, set the printer to protect the computer, set the backup operation can be used to reach a key.

Sixth, the HP Pavilion g4 thermal endurance

HP Pavilion g4 is not equipped with discrete graphics, the corresponding thermal design will be relatively easily by common sense, that its heat capacity should be relatively good, the actual day then people would like to do?

Used to simulate the real HP G42 battery environment, we run SYSmark an hour later on the HP Pavilion g4 test. C-face performance was good, only do palm rest than body temperature.

D in turn control the temperature of the surface is not so satisfactory a, CPU temperature is higher position is to be expected, then the hard drive more than 40 locations around the temperature of some regret, so it is recommended that users be replaced by more qualified for the good hard drive.

HP Pavilion g4 equipped with a 47Wh 6-cell lithium-ion battery, by MobileMark the actual test, the maximum screen brightness in the case, its about 4 hours of battery life quite satisfactory.

Summary

HP Pavilion g4 not equipped with discrete graphics, which make it look more like a home office notebook, and Intel Core i5-2410M processor equipped enough to cope with a variety of heavy computing tasks flight, of course, the performance of the Core Graphics can run smoothly in most low-quality 3D games. Whole life HP Pavilion G4-1012tx battery performance of law-abiding, just drive into the details of the performance of cooling the temperature of a stumbling block outstanding, the more regrettable. In short, if you usually use it to office, and do not care about game quality, then the price of 4599 yuan to purchase such a fine workmanship, design and user-friendly notebook performance is still quite sufficient worth.

Acer S3 Hummingbird Super Notebook Review-Can Break The Apple Myth?

December 16th, 2011 No comments

The main panel push digital entertainment, mobile Internet the concept has won market share, relative to the PC with this market seems to have encountered bottlenecks, innovative and rapidly changing IT industry to maximize profits is to survive. However, the Tablet PC solves the portability problem, but in the mobile Internet era, the Tablet PC is still based on the content of the “consumer” rather than “creator.” Notebook computers in the creation of the advantages of content can not be replaced by tablet PCs. Nokia did not fall for the moment, Intel’s $ 300 million from the pockets do dig fund push Ultrabook, it increases the Acer Aspire One 521-3530 battery technology’s ease of use is also closer to the plate: lighter weight, improved battery life, instant wake-up functions are real-time updates provide users with a new use. With fresh blood, the enterprise has also been a virtuous cycle of sustained growth in sales, the major PC makers also respond positively to its call. When the main force in creating content – full-featured portable laptop computers to solve problems with the life time, then, the era of industrial revolution and it has come.

We have seen four so-called “super extreme”, these are respectively S3 hummingbird Acer, Asus UX21, Lenovo and Toshiba U300s Z830, in which Acer S3 hummingbird with brand influence, transparent prices, the current CD an HDD hard drive configuration options available (HDD version of the 7999 yuan, SSD version of the 9999 yuan), and will be the first to market advantage in September to get the consumer’s attention, this article will show you Acer S3 hummingbird Appearance, Use experience and theory testing.

Acer S3 hummingbird: Full support from the thin magnesium alloy body frame

Acer S3 titanium gray hummingbird body cap aluminum alloy material, and the use of metal wire drawing process to create, can fundamentally solve the problems easily contaminated with fingerprints, to enhance the whole texture. Screen with a black body at the junction of the use of decorative borders, an simple style wells.

\13 mm or so Acer S3 hummingbird machine with aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, the “inevitable wearing thin” concept completely broken at the same time, all-metal material in a thermally enhanced, while the full texture.

Acer S3 hummingbirds adopt a more rounded corners transition easily into being within a user-friendly, but also demonstrated here the details of its steel-framed tender side, yet tough and sexy.

13.3 inches can be described as the golden light of the Acer Aspire AS5741 battery screen size, both to ensure adequate vision and operating area without losing portability. The unique “embedded” display screen, the screen thickness reduced by 33%, body size can be controlled to the extreme, “hummingbird” in the title to its name.

Acer S3 hummingbird machine weighs only 1.3 kilograms, it is even in thickness less than a fashion magazine, showing a super great this innovative design.

Acer S3 hummingbird: the main interface does not support USB3.0 full post

In pursuit of the ultimate thin and light, Acer S3 hummingbird only placed in the fuselage on both sides of combo card reader and headphone / microphone jack, composite, and the remaining interfaces are designed in the rear fuselage. HMDI socket power adapter jack, and the location is certainly reasonable, but the two USB 2.0 ports will result in the number of first stretched the situation, followed by insertion of the device will often encounter the inconvenience.

Acer S3 hummingbird is a major feature of the bottom outlet free design, so when the user put it on his knees when used, is very comfortable. In addition, after the style front wind design will eliminate the noise source, to prevent the hot air does not affect the return side of the mouse.

The fourth-generation Dolby Home Theater technology to optimize the application to bid farewell to the light of this era can not have good sound quality, with 13.3-inch LED-backlit display provides users with even more shocking, realistic audio-visual experience.
As a result of the design of internal non-removable Acer Aspire 7750 battery, Acer S3 hummingbird at the bottom with some of the design of a mobile digital devices (such as mobile phones, tablet PCs) like “RESET” pinhole, but the design can not only cut off the power to restart . When the computer encounters crashes, blue screen can not be properly turned off, the user just fine with enough hard objects that can press the switch mandatory shutdown of operations.

Acer S3 hummingbird: keyboard design rather thought

The difference is that with the conventional notebook, Acer S3 hummingbird power button location is rather special, I thought it will open / close cover provided under the two states in two ways, it is not true, but the unique location of the power button will be more help in low light conditions precise positioning. Visual indicator is near the time their duties, both in what form to use, the machine’s operating status at a glance.

To allow users to have a cool and comfortable control experience, Acer S3 motherboard designed hummingbird especially for the layout of components under a lot of effort, the palm rest inside the lithium-ion polymer battery, resulting in minimal heat, in addition to magnesium Acer TravelMate C302 battery alloy material at the same time to enhance the robustness of the body to further enhance the user experience.

Divided island both full-size keyboard, the task of cooling air circulation, even if the long run the machine also has the coolness of its surface, which greatly enhanced the intuitive experience, but poor force feedback buttons, a little less.

Support multi-touch touchpad-one simple and elegant, its matte surface material, will give users the most diverse operating experience, but in practice when you press the left button when the mouse pointer will be more or less drift.

Aluminum-magnesium alloy body at the bottom there is a special area, bright stainless steel according to people under the corresponding hard bit, it played a role in protecting the hard drive, and integrated design for the sake of global security will return a sense of special mark printed directly The drive to protect the metal shell.

As a result of low-voltage processor, the Acer S3 hummingbird smaller than the conventional power adapter, which brought out a long time to travel lighter weight, more fitting Ultrabook concept.

Acer hummingbird S3: i7 processor without the pressure of daily applications

Ultrabook concept a few years ago there, CULV is to represent, but by the impact of technology, performance, power consumption, size, price not reach equilibrium, hastily. 300 million fund, driven by Intel to make a provision most favorable to consumers – price controls in 1000 dollars. Prices down, the user will have concerns about its performance, ultra-extreme instinct to meet the user’s daily office needs?

Initial Ultrabook will use the second generation of Core processors, as defined in the thin body and long battery life, only 18W TDP or lower-voltage version in order to meet, get measured this Acer TravelMate C314XM battery hummingbird Acer S3 equipped with Intel Core i7 -2637M processor, which attached to the second-generation Core processor family, only the BGA package version, do not pin it can only be soldered onto the motherboard. Intel Core i7-2637M is still in the manufacturing process for the 32nm, combines Core Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics card, but the 17W power consumption compared to conventional voltage processor of 35W is much lower. In addition, Intel Core i7-2637M integrates AES encryption instruction set, Trusted Execution Technology and other functions.

Intel Core i7-2637M dual nuclear power plant has a 4MB cache-threaded processors, clocked at 1.70GHz, Turbo 2.0 after maximum acceleration can be upgraded to single-threaded 2.80GHz. The design process allowed low-frequency voltage is not too high, while at the same time Core graphics memory clock voltage than conventional processors also declined. Intel Core i7-2637M integrated graphics-based Acer TravelMate C312XM battery Core frequency of 350MHz, a maximum frequency of 900MHz, while the other half in the regular voltage Core graphics processor highest frequency of 1.20GHz.

Through the PCMark Vantage test, Acer S3 hummingbird is powered by Intel G3 128GB solid state drive strength is already completely revealed, up to 24,222 marks to enhance the overall average, which reflects the practical application of which will be reflected in significantly improved, such as opening large Software, video files and other image processing speed of operation.

Although the use of low-voltage processor, but because of i7′s sake, Acer S3 hummingbird processor scored exceptionally well, and by observing the various sub-scores, the balance is obvious.

Acer Extensa 2000 battery carrying a piece of Intel G3 128GB solid-state hard drive, through the HD Tune test, the maximum read speed of 224.4MB / s, compared to conventional solid-state hard drive is already right way, at the same time, 128GB of capacity is also relatively abundant, the basic to meet daily needs. In addition, the largest hummingbird Acer S3 provides 240G SSD drive, 320/500GHDD hard disk and SSD hard drive while the configuration of the embedded option in the final analysis is in order to achieve extremely fast access and high-capacity storage media and data preparation.

Acer hummingbird S3: good heat dissipation under full load

As long as the light of the notebook, often in the heat on the most compelling concern, this heat will determine the life time of thin product’s performance, heat and life are inextricably notebook manufacturers are also under the feet of this Kung Fu. Acer S3 hummingbird cooling performance was good, run one hour in PCMark Vantage, the entire keyboard surface C maximum temperature at 39 degrees Celsius, most close to the performance of the user’s left palm rest, the most gratifying, for a long time manipulation does not appear any burning sensation.

In contrast the bottom of the fuselage, excellent heat dissipation as commendable, the main heating region is still concentrated in the CPU area, the basic temperature of 40 degrees to meet user demands placed on the use of the legs. Other good temperature performance, the average temperature of only 33 degrees.

Acer S3 hummingbird with 36.4Wh lithium-ion Acer Aspire One ZG5 battery polymer battery, the official claimed that the model with a SSD hard drive will receive about 7 hours of battery life, and the HDD models can be equipped with up to 6 hours. As for the Acer machine S3 hummingbird actual life, we will test the practical application of the back of the article for everyone present.

Summary

Apple’s dominance, the system contributed to a wealth of applications that prayer flag has many fans. But in the PC market, Windows market share has reached 97%, the user does not leave like Air, but more eager to Air combined with the windows system, Ultrbook which came into being, while Acer S3 hummingbird is such a perfect fusion of science and technology crystal . 13.3 inches is only 1.3 kg the Acer S3 hummingbird machine with aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, it will be a balance between light weight and durability, and excellent heat dissipation to ensure the case, the performance of its hardware had to carry CLUV before the “tasteless” laptop behind. Of course, Acer S3 hummingbird is not perfect, USB interface, a small number and the location is also not reasonable, of course, the most important thing is the price of consumer concern, although the initial product release can not reach the standard $ 1,000, but as the product increasingly rich and continuous improvement of the Acer Aspire One D255 battery industrial chain, I believe that one day closer and closer.

Acer S3 hummingbird also smaller, instant wake-up via built-in technology to achieve fast boot only 1.5 seconds to respond (wake up from sleep state to state), the state can continue to work to achieve up to 7 hours battery usage time, In the deep sleep state, the battery can be maintained 50 days. These benefits only a small part of its, as well as immediate connection technology, cool air flow cooling technology, and some of the new selling point, the follow-up evaluation in the article, we will continue to do the depth test, completely opened for you Acer S3 mysterious hummingbird veil!

The New I5 Processor Dell Inspiron 1464 Notebook Review

December 15th, 2011 No comments

New Year has to, Intel introduced the new i series processors, of course, a comprehensive upgrade of the i Series notebook also will be “struck.” High-end i7 series processor Needless to say, the end of 2009 we had a taste of its strong performance; i5 and i3 processor is more for the mass, which under the mid-i5 processor, and the biggest difference is that support Turbo i3 acceleration, so the whole state in the high-load high-efficiency operation. The evaluation will be equipped to bring to a new i5 processors – Dell Inspiron 1464. Machine with Intel dual-core Core i5-520M processor, clocked at 2.4GHz, entry-level DELL Inspiron N4010R battery  graphics card equipped with ATi Mobility Radeon HD4330 discrete graphics, high-end entertainment can not meet user needs. Here’s a detailed look at the performance of this i5 notebook!

Dell’s Inspiron series of products mainly for the popular and familiar friends can see at a glance Design Inspiron 1464 this section has not extended the traditional design. But take a closer look at the design of this product with the Studio family of products is very similar to the style, especially in the shaft design is almost identical. Therefore, the appearance of this evaluation is not done too much description, mainly for new i5 processor performance test.

First, the Dell Inspiron 1464 performance test

Test platform simple instructions: Install Windows 7 English operating system, install the necessary chipset drivers, video drivers, sound card drivers and network card drivers, etc.; off Vista Sidebar, close ORC, close the screen saver, turn off the sleep, shut down the system Update and other automatic update settings ; desktop background set to a solid color, select and set the highest performance mode of the battery; set the system maximum performance mode.

First, the Windows 7 simple self test to understand the machine’s DELL Latitude D430 battery performance, obtained by testing Inspiron 1464 4.5. Single points of view from its poor performance, but the graphics look just pull the desktop to run sub-items, we know that ATi Mobility Radeon HD4330 under the entry-level, performance is weak; several other scoring or very satisfactory, especially in the memory items get 7.2 score.

Second, the Dell Inspiron 1464 machine configuration information

Hardware configuration, Inspiron 1464 with Intel Core i5 520M processor, clocked at 2.4GHz, equipped with the new HM55 chipset, performance is more robust. Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card, memory 512MB. In addition, the machine comes standard with 4GB DDR3 RAM, 320GB hard drive, eliminating the trouble of user-upgrade.
Inspiron 1464 battery design large, which makes the weight increased, but relative to the machine’s performance is better in life, win for life with very high demand of all ages.

Inspiron 1464 using 11.1V 7860 mAh Lithium Polymer battery design, after the end of life as measured five and a half hours, then lower the screen brightness, DELL Latitude E8400 battery life can be more than 6 hours.

Third, the Dell Inspiron 1464 and the whole appearance of the interface design

Appearance, as the Dell Inspiron 1464 series, or to the users of different visual experience. But take a closer look of this notebook, is in appearance with a Studio series design. Machine used black color, roof paint is still designed with metal palm rest part of the design, so that the whole is particularly stylish. Of course, these two parts as a “fingerprint collector” is that many users headaches.

Inspiron 1464 with the classic design 14-inch LED screen, 16:9 aspect ratio, the maximum screen resolution of 1366 × 768. Gently press the top part of the screen ripples appear a more obvious, it seems more crisp screen compression performance.

Weight, DELL Inspiron 1464 battery performance inevitably some “awkward”; high cost of life is to increase the battery capacity, the corresponding weight will increase. Inspiron 1464 Weight reached 2.444Kg, up 14 inches of other models out of a higher weight will be carried out for the user’s inconvenience.

In the interface design, Inspiron 1464 performance quite satisfactory, the main layout of the fuselage on both sides of the interface, the user interface type is sufficient to meet the basic application. USB interface for common users, Inspiron 1464 offers three USB ports, which are more convenient for the user’s application; but the right side of the fuselage due to join the drive, two USB ports are more compact, convenient to plug two ports simultaneously.

Fourth, the Dell Inspiron 1464 operating experience

Inspiron 1464 standard keyboard design, but its design is more unique key keycap; each keycap with a concave edge design are very beautiful and user-friendly while cleaning. Key operation feel better, key-way medium, the intensity of the larger bounce. Touch panel design DELL Inspiron 2200 battery can be described as tough, brushed metal mouse buttons more atmosphere. Matte touch touchpad surface design to ensure accurate positioning results.

Matte touch touchpad surface design to ensure accurate positioning results.

Summary

The new Intel Core i series processors come more and more equipped with a processor Core i Series notebook will be gradually introduced. The evaluation of this Core i5 processor, Dell Inspiron 1464 in terms of performance, shows us the strong DELL Inspiron E1405 battery performance of the new generation of processors. Inspiron 1464 while the long battery life, but also to meet the special needs of many business people

The most balanced 14 Inches Alien Newborn M14X Notebook Review

December 14th, 2011 No comments

Dell Alienware notebook for users who are familiar with may know, Alienware has M11x, M15x, ​​M17x three sub-series, their common feature is equipped with Intel processors and high-end performance of transcendence NV or ATI’s graphics, powerful gaming notebook called the the computer. However, throw away the hardware configuration and performance not to mention, the highest rating by users is still the maverick designs and very sophisticated materials materials.

Dell’s Alienware laptop this year released its latest product line, and the past is just practice to upgrade the hardware configuration is different, this product upgrades are disruptive. The subversive from two aspects, one is M15X to the stage of history, no longer sell (China’s official website will still sell for some time), its successor is 14 inches volume M14x, M14x Dell official explained that only for mainland China sales. The second is the material change, except M18X anodized aluminum casing to provide DELL Inspiron E1405 battery  outside, M11x, M14X, M17X will only provide high-strength engineering shell, and shell coating on the use of classes to improve skin texture and touch.

Alienware M14x: New Dimensions of new material is improved portability

We are evaluating today is precisely to the user is most concerned about M14x this product, so the reason prompting the user attention, the reason is nothing less than the change in volume. Look at the history of its product development and independent play to the strong performance portable M11x M15x, ​​M17x, which lack the most popular among users in China alone like 14-inch products, so, M14x also welcomed the launch.

As mentioned in the same preface, the new M14x change also comes from the shell material. Used by its predecessor M15x special anodized aluminum shell is different, M14x with a high-strength engineering shell, and with a class of coating materials to improve skin texture and touch the machine. The official explained that the project has a coating material and class have a more robust skin and strong performance, but with the traditional anodized aluminum enclosure can not really be compared.

M14x uses high-strength engineering material shell is not simply to reduce the cost and cost, in fact, high-strength engineering material shell also has its merits, the most direct impact is significantly reduced weight, more beneficial to the user mobile use. In addition, changes in DELL Inspiron 1564 battery body size is also important on the side, no one denied that the 14-inch size smaller than 15 inches into the backpack more user-friendly.

Appearance there is a more obvious change in design from the front of the fuselage, before M15x makes use of the design looks slightly stiff, and in the M14x body front you will find here a more streamlined and more sci-fi feel, but the function did not make the change, as is only a decorative role.

Alienware M14x: interior design, as always, feel more delicate manipulation

M14x’s control feel and no shred of change, as is the full-size keyboard configuration, provides the input does not belong M15x and operating experience. In addition, the formal point of view from the keyboard design, the new M14x has not changed, but the width of the keyboard compared to the previous M15x border, compared to 14 inch rear narrow body becomes more slender frame, the visual effects get a lot of improvement.

In addition, M14x always inherited predecessors unique selling point: lighting, M14x lighting effects divided by region to nine, including the familiar alien Logo, bottom of the screen “Alienware”, shortcut keys, touchpad mouse . Personally feel that the most unusual lighting effects, or the keyboard backlight, four regions can be set to different light colors, if you’re interested, then customize the game according to the color of the DELL Inspiron 5160 battery shortcut key areas required for operation, thereby further enhancing the efficiency of the game in the keyboard control .

Why M14x’s interior design is more delicate it? The main reason is the interior designer on the M14x to add a new design elements, from the M15x interior, we see the top of the keyboard placed in ordinary plastic, and in the M14x the top of the keyboard is using a metal material, with dense cellular network design, M14x machine to enhance the texture of the interior at least one grade. Not only that, here also two sets of hidden built-in high-end Klipsch speakers, with the body at the bottom of the bass unit can create and restore a realistic sound effects.

Compared with the M15x, ​​although both are common in the design of the LED lighting touchpad four weeks, but the design of formal point of view, the new M14x seems to be more of a number of fashion. Before the new M14x does not follow the design of an integrated touchpad, the touchpad embedded design center in palm rest, separate left and right mouse button is designed to provide more convenience to the user’s input and operation.

Alienware M14x: Interface layout and reasonable with dual USB3.0 interface

Interface on the performance of the body is, M14x is the absolute number of the most abundant, in addition to conventional VGA, HDMI video output interface, etc., but also joined the Displayport interface, three different formats of video output interface can ensure the M14x adapt to any external video equipment. Displayport interface is a high-definition digital display interface standard, the transmission speed than HDMI, but because the cost has not been popular in the low-end products, and in the future of this interface is likely to become the mainstream of high-definition digital display interface standard.

From the layout of the interface point of view, M14x is quite good, the left side of the fuselage full account of the user interface to the actual usage, we need to solve all the external DELL Inspiron M5030 battery interface cable built in the upper left, you can remove the user sets the scene too much disorder, leaving more space for more files, cups and other personal objects.

Is also observed from the perspective of the layout of the fuselage right side of the interface design, because the use of slot-drive and is located close to the daily control of the mouse’s right-hand users, daily use will not occupy as large as an ordinary drive hanging space. It is worth noting here the interface design, M14x canceled by the ExpressCard interface, and USB interface is also upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0, and is dual USB3.0, USB3.0 although not popular, but better than none.

Alienware M14x: heat, but the general level of high-capacity polymer battery built

For a new model, users would be more concerned about how the heat level in the end, this product has value M14x offers relatively good mobility, the user should point to its higher level of heat dissipation requirements. Here we take a look at M14x on this product in the thermal module design, and then in to a thorough understanding of their true level of heat it!
Unlike the double thermal module design M15x, ​​M14x although there is to see two cooling modules, but in fact the processor and graphics card is a cooling module, the public, just like goods, another idle, the module does not provide the actual heat. The same as under the Note icon, here is the placement of memory modules, although there are some cooling effect, but certainly not independent of the processor and graphics used in all the heat to cool.

The actual temperature of the test also shows that our guess is correct. M14x’s keyboard is not ideal to heat slightly, the temperature can reach the keypad 39 degrees. Palm rest area temperature is rather strange, there it is on the right palm rest, the temperature reached 38 degrees Celsius, the right palm DELL Latitude C800 battery rest temperature is too high for a reason, where the design of hard disk and CD-ROM and hard disk drive inside the , there is no cooling channel for its use, resulting in temperature is difficult to drain away.

Back body heat even more worrying, the main hardware placement of the temperature of the region reached almost 40 degrees Celsius, is not conducive to the lifting of bare skin, especially now the beginning of summer, with indoor and outdoor temperature, M14x not suitable for user long time use.

Theoretically, as long as the laptop has a good thermal performance, the battery life on certain has a good performance. As the M14x’s performance prior to the heat, although the built-in lithium polymer batteries, but we are also not optimistic about their life to achieve satisfactory results. M14x is the built-in battery can view the battery power, easy to use on the move in time to understand how much power for its use, but some effort to control them a little fee.

M14x built-in lithium polymer DELL XPS M140 battery has reached 63Wh, after we use MobileMark2007 under full load testing up to 255 minutes using the length of the screen that the user’s state of the brightest in four hours, the endurance performance has been quite good, not knowing the level of ordinary game notebook battery life is very tough over 3 hours.
Upgrading from a personal point of view, M14x’s performance is good, body is very easy to open, the back of the fuselage with only two screws to secure the bottom cover. However, the current official standard view, the user’s behavior is not desirable to upgrade the existing hardware level sufficient to meet the mainstream of large-scale 3D Play a single game.

Alienware M14x: i7 quad-core processor + GT555M more robust performance

M14x equipped with a whole new generation of Intel Core i processors – i7-2820QM, this release of the first generation of processors so that people of vision from the CPU to enhance performance of many who moved to the GPU. Compared to the first generation of Core i series processors, the second generation of Core i series processor in the user experience on the major upgrade of the three points: 1.32nm process technology, bringing improved performance and lower power consumption; 2 fusion performance was comparable to entry-level single GPU, the video encoding / decoding capacity; 3 Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, demand for performance tuning.

Intel Core i7-2820QM quad-core eight thread processors, clocked at 2.30GHz, just from the parameters for, you can probably have a good understanding of their performance, coupled with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM memory support, not its strong performance self-evident.
SYSmark 2007 Preview is a software platform DELL Precision M40 battery for a variety of PC performance testing software integrated, it actually can be used to install most of our daily fidelity simulation software to run applications (word processing pictures, video playback, 3D performance, etc.), so its Test results for the office and entertainment applications are very true and accurate, has been recognized by the industry.

PCMark Vantage provides a more user-friendly features and a key test desktop, mobile, workstation, unified platform, test scripts, test software based on Windows system. PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC’s overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment system to the notebook, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether in the hands of professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, can understand the system performance through the PCMark Vantage test test content can be divided into processor, graphics testing, hard disk test.

Summary

Specifically for the Chinese official said M14x users to create, probably because of their love of Chinese users, especially 14-inch notebook computer, notebook computer under this dimension of performance and DELL Latitude D430 battery life has a good performance, and in general are more portable models. But I only saw him M14x performance is very strong, as life belongs to the middle level, the portability of the most critical in the M14x’s body really is not reflected, 2.941Kg the whole weight who can not be said for a long time of mobile portability.
However, M14x brought a new change is worthy of recognition, after all, a main performance notebook computers, are used in high-end mainstream hardware case, the expense of what the user is the portability can be forgiven, but not sorry M14x anodized aluminum shell of customized services, which many people feel M14x this product will shrink some, especially for the fans who probably will not be tolerated.

13.3 Inch Toshiba Portege M901 Notebook Review

December 13th, 2011 No comments

Toshiba laptop line is divided into four series, respectively, from the main cost-effective, stylish thin, high-end professional and multimedia to meet different consumer needs in four areas, with 13-inch notebook and gradually move toward the mainstream, as a thin line of Toshiba main fashion Portege Series upgrade again, as before Portege M800 series is subject to body size, has been using integrated graphics, but this year a new series of Toshiba Portege M900 series M800 series of improvements in the upgrade, the TOSHIBA Satellite R15 battery introduction of new machines alone were type, graphics card upgrade, the Toshiba Portege M901 and strive to achieve the unity of portability and performance, let us learn more about the new Toshiba Portege M901.

First, the appearance of Toshiba M901

As of 2009, introduced new 13-inch Toshiba M901 Toshiba M800 series can be seen as an upgrade model. The difference is that the previous M800, Toshiba M901 before a change in appearance piano material in favor of a stronger sense of plastic mesh material, officially known as three-dimensional painting techniques, materials, compared with its previous piano bring the advantage of abrasion resistance, non-slip properties, eliminate finger prints and the actual use of the general feeling when you touch, feel too plastic.

Open the screen cover, M901 vividly in the eyes of the operating platform. On the whole M901 operating platform and body appearance before the M800 series with exactly the same material, the only operation with the A side of the palm rest part of the same materials are used plastic mesh material, hand touch screen A surface significantly sinking feeling, but the screen does not appear the water ripples, suggesting that the A side and the screen space is a good buffer between the external pressure on the A side.

Toshiba M901 continue to use the dive shaft design, the largest screen on 130 °, the shaft design allows the screen to dive under the border hidden in the rear fuselage, the user will not see the screen too broad, resulting in better operational view.

As a standard 13.3-inch laptop models Toshiba M901 fixed aspect ratio, because it is reason alone was more general control of its thickness, the current notebooks direction Toshiba Satellite A10-S103 battery toward the light, the Toshiba M901′s 31.8mm-38.2mm body thickness is difficult to Jiaoren satisfied.

Now look at the Toshiba M901′s weight, from the above comparison chart we can clearly see that the weight of Toshiba M901 13-inch models in the current market position in what is, in addition to the Toshiba M803 as their own integrated graphics, other models are as a single display models. Although the weight differences between small, but the Toshiba M901 as the latest step backward in terms of weight is quite obvious.

Second, the interface layout of the Toshiba M901

In the interface layout, the Toshiba M901 design acceptable, unfortunately, very easy to cancel before the volume control knob. Fuselage on the left has a VGA port, a USB2.0 interface, composite interface, a E-SATA, HDMI interface and Express Card slot, here be noted that the M901′s E-SATA interface and HDMI interface is too complex close to the interface appearance there were also some similarities, so the user will use the process in a miss-inserted the wrong interface. In the right side of the fuselage is double burner, USB port, RJ45 Ethernet line interface, in addition, the front of the M901 in the body to retain a multi-card TOSHIBA Satellite 2405 battery reader, wireless LAN hardware switch, the machine most of the design continuation of the previous M series fine tradition.

In addition, the front fuselage Toshiba M901 also mention the savings of the multi-card reader, wireless LAN hardware switch, volume control dial to cancel a slight inconvenience, but for the user’s daily use, but still very human.

Toshiba M901 charge function can be turned off sleep or hibernation mode for USB devices such as mobile phones or portable digital music players for charging. This innovative new feature will add to the ever-changing modern life convenient, anytime, anywhere to easily charge your digital equipment.

Third, the Toshiba M901 operating experience

Toshiba M901 function keys set is quite simple and comfortable, just above the keyboard design of a row of touch buttons, which are the power switch, ECHO power plan, media center, play / pause, rewind, fast forward, mute, and volume growth minus key.

To look at the Toshiba M901 operating feel. New Toshiba M901 keyboard has been adjusted, using the popular chocolate keyboard design, the key bit is also a non-standard notebook keyboard, the far right of the keyboard arrangement of the direction keys and PgUp, PgDn keys, but in the main control area with ordinary keyboard exactly the same. Feel of the keyboard, the Toshiba M901′s keyboard as a whole tend to be hard, and bit back a long time, in the fast typing TOSHIBA TECRA R10 battery would produce a certain noise. Unique trapezoidal key keycap wide touch beautiful fall design, so that the distance between the double bond wider fingertips touch a larger.

Toshiba M901 touch pad mouse and the difference is added before the touch pad switches, touch pad part and the other to form a unified control platform, visual effects, also has a striped appearance, but the stripes on a certain difference in color . In addition, feel the touch pad on the Toshiba M901 touch pad surface is matte texture, comfort control, and because too much mixed with the platform, often occur in the operation of border phenomena. Left and right mouse buttons as a whole more rigid.

Fourth, the Toshiba M901 cooling and configuration

Toshiba M901 as a 13-inch model heat alone was particularly important, Toshiba M901 thermal control was acceptable. 28 ° C in air-conditioned office environment at room temperature for half an hour after the standby temperature, maximum temperature 36 degrees Celsius, estimated drive, chip and other sources of heat in this area. Left high temperature, especially near the main cooling module and outlet area, the temperature above body temperature in staff, feeling warm. Now is the time or summer, if the user takes a long time to enjoy large-scale 3D game, or another base to prevent the purchase of a cooling body fever.

Toshiba M901 from the bottom of the fuselage can be seen, the distribution of a lot of heat into the air, forming a large pocket layout, the final heat from the left side of the cooling air outlet discharge. Bottom of the fuselage is still the material used is high-strength engineering plastic, rather than the magnesium alloy material, to some extent will affect the cooling effect.

In noise control, Toshiba M901 doing relatively well, even in high-definition playback time, the noise caused by fans is not very clear, for use in a quiet environment. In addition, when reading the beginning of DVD discs have a greater Toshiba Tecra S2-155 battery shock, but after a few seconds to settle, body vibration is not very obvious, less noise.

Configuration uses a Penryn core Toshiba M901 Core 2 T6500 processor, clocked at 2.10GHz, with a current market price of this processor models are at around 5,000 yuan. Single 2GB memory, leaving an empty slot for users to upgrade to 2GB of memory, although the current notebook applications have sufficient memory to some extent, but the single-channel memory performance will affect the complete play.

Toshiba M901 graphics card with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570, so even in the game in 3D and HD playback with a strong guarantee. In the configuration capacity is equipped with the Toshiba 250GB SATA interfaces from 5400 RPM 2.5-inch hard drive, also illustrates the positioning of audio-visual entertainment and comprehensive home theater design.

Summary

Toshiba M901 is a standard centrist model of audio-visual entertainment, Toshiba M901 does not seem at first glance too bright, but in actual use, such as touch pieces of audio-visual control that users have felt a nuanced human caring. In addition to ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 discrete graphics Toshiba NB200-110 battery performance primarily, but also allow users to be able to “use, the use of the good.” The only thing I was a bit unhappy that Toshiba M901 airframe weight and thickness in a little lacking, some effect on the overall unsatisfactory.
