Sony VAIO VPC-EH35FM/B

2012-03-24T02:03:00.001-07:00

Measuring 1.5 by 14.6 by 9.8 inches and consideration 5.2 pounds, the Sony VAIO VPC-EH35FM/B is incased in evil impressible, with a beautiful diamond-embossed figure on the lid and region quietus that nevertheless picked up a few fingerbreadth smudges on our judge unit. If you don't same the dark keyboard, our attempt object came with a organization polymer keyboard pare that enhanced stream and crumb resistivity without subtracting from the keyboard's slightly squashy yet comfortable typewriting comprehend. There's a full-sized numeric keypad with dedicated Place, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys (tho' they, the answer and Remove keys, and the indicator arrows are slightly small than the symmetrical keys), and a medium-sized touchpad with a nicely rough articulator and clicky

The door resolution is the boilerplate 1,366-by-768 you'll hear on most separate 15- (and 14- and 13-inch) laptops-for this price, you shouldn't look the 1,920 by 1,080 of Sony's 4.4-pound VAIO VPC-SE23FX/S ($999 forthright, 4 stars) or the HP Rancor 15 (2012) ($1,249.99 outspoken, 4 stars). That's sufficiency for vigil 720p videos from the Web; you can't timepiece them from a Blu-ray circle because the VPC-EH35FM/B has a DVD±RW swing. The door is lucid and glistening, with adequate vigil angles and pure flag (and no, our eyes couldn't see the conflict between the Sony's 15.5- and competitors' 15.6-inch panels, and we bet yours can't either). Oftenness through the built-in speakers is fuck the WiMAX changeful broadband saved in our Editors' Selection Asus U56E-BBL6, nor the Bluetooth engineering victimized to sync a laptop and handheld. But it has two opposite wireless features: the old 802.11n Wi-Fi, which worked penalty in our surfriding and downloading tests, and Intel's Wireless Showing (WiDi) for moving the laptop's video and oftenness to an Television set seaworthy with a $100-or-so Belkin or Netgear device.

There are two memory-card slots on the Sony's beguiler bezel, one for SD cards and the new for the militia's Memory Thrust Pro Duo information. On the ripe face of the chassis are threesome USB 2.0 ports and the DVD journeying. On the leftmost are VGA, HDMI, and Ethernet ports; microphone and headphone jacks; and a fourth USB 2.0 port-we looked for the dirty connector or SS (Caretaker Fastness) label that designates a USB 3.0 porthole, but were thwarted.

By differ, only a grump could be frustrated that the VPC-EH35FM/B's 5,400-rpm granitelike swing is an ample 640GB instead of the justified more abundant 750GB of models suchlike the Lenovo IdeaPad Z570-10249ZU ($699.99 tip, 3.5 stars) and Asus K53SD-DS51 ($779.99 street, 3 stars). Sony preloads it with a Mac OS Dock-alike info launcher dubbed VAIO Gate, a duad of photo and recording managers, and a scanty 30-day affliction of Norton Internet Guarantee.

Sony backs the laptop with a one-year warranty with on-site or at-home run. Superfine Buy offers a option of two-year sprawled function plans: a $149.99 manage that covers native delapidate and hie, power surges, a single peer of a extinct battery, and "no maize" exchange of a method that's required quartet repairs; and a $269.99 project with the above quality discharge and move covering.

Action

Sony VAIO VPC-EH35FM/B Armored with a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-2450M processor and 6GB of RAM, the Sony VAIO VPC-EH35FM/B did rise in our fruitfulness benchmark tests. Its PCMark 7 performance slit of 2,400 edged that of the Acer Aspire TimelineX 5830TG-6614 ($779.99 list, 4 stars) (2,388) and Asus U56E-BBL6 (2,255).

Sony VAIO VPC-EH35FM/B

It knotted the Asus K53SD-DS51, based on the same CPU, in our Handbrake (1 distance 47 seconds) and Photoshop CS5 (3 transactions 55 seconds) multimedia tests. Exclusive on the graphics anterior did the Sony's Intel HD Graphics 3000 organic graphics prove no correspond for the Nvidia GeForce GT 540M of the Acer 5830TG-6614: The latter posted 58 and 39 frames per gear respectively in Crysis and Wasted Follower 2 versus the VAIO's 19 fps in apiece.

The Sony's 44Wh shelling proved a discourtesy dissatisfaction, dropping just momentaneous of the five-hour gospel that we speculate a impartial lead for a screen compeer system (4 hours 53 proceedings). By differ, the Asus U56E-BBL6 lasted 7 hours 42 proceedings and the Acer 5830TG-6614 a brimfull figure hours.

Still, before we objection too untold nigh its shelling story or that nonexistent USB 3.0 embrasure, it's worth remembering that the VPC-EH35FM/B is priced $100 or more below most of its competitors. At $629.99, it's a valuable alternative to our Editors' Pick Asus U56E-BBL6 and opposite top regard contenders.

P7-1030 HP Pavilion

2011-10-07T23:22:00.000-07:00

HP Pavilion P7-1030 (580 million street) is a desktop entry-level/mid-range, with the kind of parts and performance usually seen in desktops higher prices. The P7-1030 Intel Core i3 and 8 GB of RAM can not offer professional-quality multimedia or gaming muscle, but it is an ideal system for the household, especially if you want to replace a system of six or seven years.

Design and Features

The P7-1030 is a mid-tower PC with an aluminum chassis and a black plastic front panel. The panel has the same glossy black finish, we've seen in other entry-level equipment HP as the HP Pavilion-p7 1047cb ($ 799 list, 4 stars). The front panel has a sliding cover that hides two USB 2.0 ports and headphone and microphone. In the upper panel, there is a media card reader (SD, MMC, MS / Pro, xD and Compact Flash) and the power button. Then the card reader is a DVD + / - RW. A bay for 5.25 inches just below the second is empty and ready for an upgrade. In the back of the tower there are four USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port and three audio jacks: microphone, audio input and audio output.

P7-1030 HP Pavilion

The P7-1030 offers video output VGA and DVI to connect the desktop to an external monitor or display, you can even use both outputs simultaneously for a dual monitor setup. You will not be able to use your TV as a monitor, however, as there is no HDMI connection available. This exemption is generally the case when sellers want to keep the cost low. Although it can not come with a monitor, the P7-1030 includes a USB keyboard and optical mouse cable. The keyboard is surprisingly comfortable, though perhaps on the side of rose water, and its low profile design is attractive. The mouse is also possible for a device provided, but you want to make a new keyboard and mouse, if only to move to wireless is something that will not take two of the six USB ports available.

Internally, the P7-1030 is equipped with a large 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive, which has the same size and speed of the disc can be found in the Editors' Choice for Lenovo Idea Centre K330-11691AU ($ 599.99 list 4 stars). PCIe Mini Card offers Wi-Fi 802.11n, which means you do not need hard to find a place close to the router, or run a long ethernet cables for the web. There is little room to grow in this mid-tower case. In addition to those 5.25-inch drive bay empty, you will find the available PCI Express x16 slot and three open PCI Express x1 slots. 250 watt power supply means it will only increase the level of output graphics card, but even something as basic as AMD Radeon HD 6450 would bring an improvement in graphics and gameplay features. As the system becomes 8GB of DDR3 memory, which takes two DIMMs, the memory update means eliminating at least one of the memory stick. That said, it is difficult to think that you need more than 8 GB, at this point.

P7-1030 HP Pavilion

The P7-1030 comes with several preinstalled programs on the hard disk. Some of them are useful as a starting version of Microsoft Office 2010, a 30-day trial of Norton Online Backup, and a 60-day trial of Norton Internet Security 2011, but we have seen trial periods longer for competing systems, such as the 90 day trial of Lenovo K330-11691AU. The P7-1030 also comes with HP LinkUp, a program that allows you to access other Windows 7 computers on the same LAN. Even computers from other manufacturers can download the software to share files LinkUp. It's like having your own local cloud. Desktop links on sites like Hulu and Netflix is not a problem, but you can be bothered by the display of many reading programs from Blio, Kobo, PDF Complete, and Zinio. You will certainly want to eliminate extra material such as toolbars Bing and Google.

Performance

P7-1030 features a 3.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i3-2100 processor, which acts as a quad-core thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Paired with 8GB of memory, twice the Dell Inspiron 228NBK-i620 ($ 479.99 list, 4 stars), P7-1030 was placed in PCMark 2536 points 7 tests faster performance of the Dell-i620 228NBK 241 points. . In Cinebench, R11.5, P7-1030 approved rates produced by other systems, which have the same processor as the Dell-i620 228NBK (2.99) and Lenovo K330-11691AU (2.98). It 'was, however, remained i5 equipped HP 1047cb P7 (4.15) and Asus Essentio CM1730-05 ($ 569.99, 3 stars) (5.19) and its six-core AMD processor.

The P7-1030 is also an office capable when it comes to the creation of the media. In our test of the brake, we completed the coding of video file of 1 minute and 40 seconds, while AMD Asus CM1730-05 took more than 2 minutes to complete the task (2:03). The Dell-i620 228NBK other hand, just missing the mark of 1:40 in two seconds. The P7-1030 ended in Photoshop CS5 03:46. The only comparative system to produce better results was the 1047cb-equipped HP i5 p7, which produced over time 1:29 ET 3:31 handbrake Photoshop.

P7-1030 Intel integrated graphics will not give you too much in terms of 3D games, because the heavy lifting, the graphics card is necessary. Desktop will not even run our graphics, 3DMark 11 benchmark tests, and without the support of DirectX 11, does not work, we tested with Lost Planet 2, either. The only test we had to run Crysis (DirectX 10), who has been placed in an unplayable 13 frames per second at medium resolution and additional settings. You need to upgrade to a separate graphics card to play something more challenging World of Warcraft with low settings.

As entry-level systems go, the HP Pavilion P7-1030 offers a surprisingly powerful set of hardware with processing power and storage space to meet the entry-level buyers. Features such as 1TB of storage space and a real Intel Core i3 makes a compelling choice for anyone on a budget. Customers can buy with confidence, but bargain hunters will notice that the HP Pavilion P7 1047cb includes a screen, and the choice of editors Dell Inspiron I620-228NBK offers a similar package for about $ 100 less.

HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050

2011-10-07T23:16:00.000-07:00

HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050 ($ 1,299.99 direct) is a media office decorated with all the right components to satisfy power users. Blu-ray, TV tuner, and a team of powerful hardware tag consists of an Intel Core i7 and AMD discrete graphics cards are only the tip of the iceberg for this PC. All these features make the dream PC power user, and our editors choice news. "

The design and development

This mid-tower case is composed mainly of black aluminum. He broke the glossy black plastic front panel, which attracts fingerprints and smudges, but HP has a different look elegant H8-1050. There is an indent in the upper part to keep your PC hard disks, MP3 players and the like while you are connected to a nearby USB 3.0 ports. There are also separate headphone and microphone next to two USB 3.0 ports. On the front panel sliding door to reveal two USB 2.0 ports, and aa memory card reader (xD / Smart Media, Compact Flash I / II / III, MS / PRO / Duo / PRO Duo and SD / mini / RS / Plus / Mobile ). BD-ROM allows you to watch Blu-ray, as well as regular DVD. Behind desktop has two DVI-I, HDMI, and two mini-DisplayPort ports for connecting an external monitor or HDTV. There is also a TV tuner, S-video and left and right, Ethernet and four USB ports-2.

HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050

Cracking open the box you will see that there is not much room to expand. There is an open PCIe x1 (the other is occupied by a TV tuner), and there are two open SATA ports for connecting a second optical or hard drive. But since the system has a TB 1.5, 5400 RPM hard drive, it is unlikely that you need more storage space soon. It should be noted that most of the desktop in this category and price range comes with a faster 7200 rpm hard drive. Each of the four memory slots are filled to capacity with 10 GB of DDR3 RAM (can accommodate up to 16 GB) and PCIe x16 is filled with an AMD Radeon HD 6850 (1GB) discrete graphics card. There's also a 802.11n Wi-Fi card installed. In short, this PC very excited. If you have any plans to expand this office in the future, you will need to work through the supply of 450 W of power.

Unfortunately, there is a considerable amount of bloatware on your desktop that includes HP-specific software suite Bing Bar, three different e-readers (Blio, Kobo, and Zinio Reader 4), Netflix, Hulu, and eBay. I'm of the mind that a new team means a new beginning, and when a foreign software on it, it seems ... contaminated.

HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050

Performance

The H8-1050 has a strong list of components that includes i7-2600 a 3.4 GHz Intel Core, 10GB RAM above and AMD Radeon HD 6850 GPU. These components add up to a machine powerful media manipulation (ie Photoshop and video editing) will also play games to the public mid-range. The H8-1050 completed our test image in Photoshop CS5 2 minutes 57 seconds, while Dell XPS x8300-5215NBK ($ 1099.99 list, 4 stars). In Cinebench R11.5 two systems was only 0.6 points difference, H8-1050 (6.82) is the higher of the two.

In the game, H8-1050 was clearly a superior machine. Comparing the Radeon HD 6850 GPU and the Radeon HD x8300 Dell XPS 5770 is not a competition. H8-1050 achieved a playable frame rate at our Crysis DirectX 10 (98.9frames per second), and Lost Planet DX11 2 (77.6fps), medium settings at 1280 x 720 resolution, as well as the Dell XPS x8300. When the resolution came up at 1920 by 1080 system is not able to play an average frame rate, but the Pavilion H8-1050 was better.

HP Pavilion Elite H8-1050 definitely has a leg up on Dell XPS x8300 when it comes to features. TV tuner, Blu-ray player and USB 3.0 ports to attract those who want to make this machine's media hub, which is why it is our choice of editors. But Dell XPS x8300 features a reception with numbers similar performance when it comes to media creation (not games), which is $ 200 cheaper. So really, it all depends if the list you need / want to include things like a Blu-Ray and USB 3.0-If not then you might consider the cheaper option. Dell XPS x8300 will give you an excellent multimedia performance without the option (and that includes bloatware), but H8-1050 is the best of both systems.

0 doors, one of which is a plug-in USB receiver to connect the keyboard and mouse on PC. There's also an infrared remote control included in the package is useful when browsing the menus on Blu-ray, especially if you're thinking about putting a PC in my living room.

Acer Revo RL100-UR20P

2011-10-07T23:10:00.000-07:00

The Acer Revo RL100-UR20P ($ 569.99 list) combines the world of home theater in a nettop PC Slim, resulting in a Blu-ray, browse the Internet, use of multimedia machine. If you are looking for innovative PC, the RL100-UR20P has some of the best features and best bang-for-money for a nettop worldwide. It has everything you need for the fun of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) and Blu-ray on a large screen for a decent price, and therefore, is the choice of our new editor nettop PC.

Design and Features

The RL100 UR20P as a kick-back to the Sony PlayStation 2 Slim. Can be placed vertically or horizontally, as the PS2, but the chassis has a couple of interesting motifs that are quite revolutionary. The RL100-UR20P comes with a wireless controller that acts as a combination touch screen / keyboard, eliminating the need to go out and buy something like the Logitech diNovo Mini to access multimedia content and browsing the Web. It has a power button / mode at the top: one click and the surface becomes a responsive touchpad for cursor control. Another click on the mode button and a backlit keyboard appears on the same surface.

Acer Revo RL100-UR20P

The touch panel can handle two big fish fingers and holding your finger on the panel invoked the right mouse button. The reassuring tone buttons when writing, but no haptic feedback, as in other keyboards (ie, smartphones and tablets). The bottom of the controller has a volume control, suitable for modeling the system with TV-centric. It is noteworthy that the remote contact replaces any kind of TV-style infrared remote control: it is simply not necessary, unless you're an aggressor FF / REW keys. As a small and flat touchpad / keyboard, you can take a medical exam if you have a lot of writing.

Other system features include a media Blu-ray combo player / DVD for playing movies, home theater specific ports such as HDMI and S / PDIF, a 750 GB drive, and a low power processor AMD Athlon K325 not need high fan to avoid overheating. The RL100-UR20P comes with Acer Clear.fi ecosystem, which adds an easier to use layers on top of the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). With Clear.fi, you can share photos, videos and music between computers connected to Acer laptops, desktops, and tablets like the A100 Acer Iconia Tab (Wi-Fi). It is easier to configure than just ordinary DLNA, but it is not quite as easy to use as Apple's Bonjour sharing available on iTunes and Apple TV. The system included 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi or Ethernet port manages the network.

Acer Revo RL100-UR20P

The system includes three USB 2.0 (a big consideration is equipped with a wireless touchpad / keyboard), card reader, and the number of completed software. Some of the software, it makes sense, such as Netflix to watch movies and TV shows online. Some pre-installed software is a bit 'controversial Times Reader, (NY Times), Nook, Skype and eBay their presence on the desktop, to comply with the icons. I understand that product placement will help to reduce the price of computers, but there are simply too many pre-loaded programs and icons are everywhere. Topping pre-installed software is a short 60-day trial subscription of McAfee Internet Security, which is a few months longer.

Performance

The RL100 is UR20P-K325 AMD Athlon running at 1.3 GHz relatively slow, but K325 is dual-core, multimedia prowess with the system a bit. Dual-core system more NVIDIA ION will display 1080p videos online and Blu-ray movies smoothly, showing a nettop may be sufficient if all you're looking for media consumption. But it is slower on the uptake when it comes to creating media: 5 minutes and 43 seconds to encode a video on the handbrake and 1:19 p.m. to browse Photoshop CS5 test image manipulation - the best score mag . In comparison, our editors choice nettop last Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150 ($ 399 direct, 4 stars), a test ice CS5 23:38. The Zotac ZBox AD03BR-PLUS-D ($ 519.99 list, 3.5 stars) also works behind Acer to "nearly 15 minutes" for CS5. Large HP Pavilion Slimline S5-1020 ($ 429.99 list, 3 , 5-star) has an Intel Pentium dual-core processor gives the 2:05 and 4:29 handbrake on CS5.

The HP Slimline S5-1020 is a little cheaper and more powerful than the RL100-UR20P to be sure, but the S5-1020 is more or less an ordinary PC-Jane office in a small box (which is much thicker than Revo). The RL100-HP UR20P exceeds its innovative wireless controller, HDMI port and Blu-ray. The ZOTAC ZBOX is so similar such as the Revo, with its compact size, low power processor, and Blu-ray. However, the ZBOX is more of a DIY project: the system lacks an operating system (figure on $ 99 more for Windows 7 Home Premium), is almost as expensive, slower, has a smaller hard drive, less system memory, and doesn t 'have the remote control products.

RL100-Revo features UR20P simply out run and out-Q150 in all areas, but the price and the dollars more worth it, that one of the better home theater PC out there. So if you want to add low-cost computer for HDTV, Acer Revo RL100-UR20p is one of the better choices out there, especially if you're looking for the easiest way to watch movies IPTV and Blu-ray on a large screen. For these reasons, RL100-UR20P nettop computer is the latest Editors' Choice.

However, the lack S5-1020 Blu-ray and many other features that make the RL100 Revo so attractive to the media a dog.

Lenovo IdeaCentre B520

2011-10-07T23:02:00.000-07:00

Lenovo Idea Centre B520 ($ 1,799 list) is one of the few truly 3D-capable all-in-one desktop out of the market. However, for this price you get quad-core processor, lots of hard disk space, and the ability to watch almost every video that exists today. You can watch TV via the Internet, Blu-ray Disc (2D and 3D), a DVD, upload videos, in addition to air programming in HD HDTV DVR, and even an old VCR to the video (assuming that the VCR still works). For those obsessed with the video nuts out there that need to be a Star Wars in all its forms, we can have a PC of your dreams. All others, has chosen quieter, work better than run-of-the mill PC touch screen.

Design

B520 has seen the development of design systems, such as Lenovo Idea Centre B305 (list $ 949, 3.5 stars) and B500 (1399 $ directly, 4 stars). B520 shares the look of the previous regime, including a featured speaker bar below the screen, which prevents the following storage area of a wireless keyboard and mouse. A major new feature is the glass front of the touch screen system. Previous touch screen required to show the difference between the surface and the outer frame, so that the house system for infrared light sensors. Basically, the system IR sensor bar on the grid on the screen, and when your finger over the flow, there will be touch. B520-screen seamlessly using a projective capacitive technology, which is more than the touch technology in most smartphones, and tablets. The result is that the touchscreen is more responsive and more accurate.

Lenovo IdeaCentre B520

B520 is a set of external ports for expansion, including six USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, HDMI output, composite video, audio, and audio and Ethernet ports as usual. The system does not have ports like USB 3.0 and the latest eSATA, but the two HDMI ports and an AV port means that it takes more than an internal desktop technology. The HDMI port allows a way to expand your life to follow a separate feature on the DVR, game console or PC of the future. When the large intestines B520 is updated, the display can not live as an external monitor to another on your laptop or desktop. Composite AV port looks to the past, allowing you to connect old school VCR to see a relic of VHS recorded in a garage. The rear of the system is easy to open without tools, so you can get the hard drive and memory slots.

The system has a wealth of fun features HD: HDTV tuner, Blu-ray 1080p (1920 by 1080 resolution) display, infrared remote control, mouse control of movement, and a 3-D mode. The B520 also has a webcam that acts as a motion control unit (think Xbox Kinect), so mouse movement control and a webcam, the system can function as a Nintendo Wii / Xbox 360 Kinect hybrids. Shame that there are many games that use these technologies outside of the demo games preloaded. The 3D display using Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision, and the system comes with a pair of active shutter glasses Nvidia. The effect was pretty good looking Blu-ray movies like Avatar and Monsters against Aliens give you a very cinema-like experience. The integrated 5.1 B520 (simulated) speakers provide a sound shallow, but not so much as a surround speaker setup right. The surround effect also works through the headphones, which can be a better choice for movie fans office.

After a while, the 3D effect in both eyes get tired (the 3D long sessions can give you eye strain) and head (Nvidia glasses are not the most comfortable in the world, this tight). You have to buy additional pairs of 3D glasses 119 million Vision, if you are sharing the 3D experience, a definite disadvantage. At least the infrared emitter that controls the lens is built into the B520: 3D Vision-old implementations requires an external adapter. Speaking of external dongles, the B520 comes with a IR remote included to control Blu-ray/DVD playback, Media Center and an integrated HDTV tuner. IR Dongles tend to clutter the desktop space as you, and would have been better if it were integrated into the system chassis, as it is in systems such as supplier selection "HP TouchSmart 610-1150y ($ 1,199.99 Best Buy, 4.5 stars).

Lenovo IdeaCentre B520

The B520 comes with a lot of new software, including services to Lenovo. Apart from the brief 60-day trial to McAfee VirusScan Plus, most of the other programs mentioned are not classified as bloatware version / trial. The system comes with some games for the camera (you can control the game with a Kinect the body) and control mouse movement (you can pick the mouse up and use it as a Wii Remote). Lenovo includes a software DVD (Power2Go), film plauback (WinDVD), webcam (YouCam), and comes with Lenovo Rescue and Recovery Utility. Lenovo has included a rudimentary touch optimized program launcher takes over the screen, but far from HP TouchSmart interface polite. A moment of glory is the full version of Angry birds is included. What better way to get used to a touch screen with colorful birds to kill green pigs?

Performance

Thanks to quad-core Intel Core i7-2600 processors and 8 GB of DDR3 memory, B520 is one of the fastest high-end all-in-one desktop PC we've done. And 'dominated by video and photos the benchmark tests, with a first class 1:13 handbrake a test video and 3:02 in Photoshop CS5 is a test. To put that in perspective, which is faster than the HP TouchSmart 1065qd 610 ($ 1,789.99 list, 5 stars), (1:28 handbrake, 3:38 CS5), the HP TouchSmart 610-1150y (handbrake 1 : 29, 3:56 CS5), and the Apple iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt) (1999 $ list, 4 stars) (1:18 Handbrake, 3:17 CS5). IMac is still a 3D game better, but because the Mac AMD Radeon HD 6970 for the production of graphics and game quality is very high average for our Crysis benchmark tests. B520 is only able to produce a playable frame rate in the level of average quality. Then again, the B520 has more to enjoy the 3D video and 3D games.

On a function by function, the last all-in-one PC that had this much video valor was the HP 610-1065qd: this system had an HDTV tuner, Blu-ray, large hard drive, processor quad-heart, decent graphics and HDMI ports you really want a fun video. Trump HP Lenovo offering a transparent touch screen and 3D video using active shutter glasses, but that's not enough to replace the 610-HP 1065qd and its successor, the 610-HP 1150y desktop computers that touch screen better than we have seen. HP systems in particular, tilting mechanism that makes using the touch screen much more ergonomic use. The model 610-1150y is also much cheaper $ 1199 to $ 1799 Lenovo B520. IMac 27 inch (Thunderbolt) is $ 200 more expensive yet, but it gives you a much larger screen with high resolution, better 3D performance benchmark, and (for better or worse) a better integration between iTunes and iLife.

Really, really, want to have 3D video playback machine to use the Lenovo Idea Centre B520 in its fullness, and those people, this can be considered almost nirvana. Butfor most users are looking for more than gimmickry blue alien-cat jumping off the screen for you, there are other choices of low-profile.

If you need to replace your old pileup of a desktop PC, the HP Pavilion 1047cb-p7 (list $ 799 at Costco) is a no-muss, no problems doing that. This system of mid-tower comes with a 23-inch monitor, and includes a handful of additional equipment. Your processor will not impress multimedia power users may find yourself limited opportunities for expansion, and there is a fair amount of bloatware on the hard disk. But otherwise, the P7-end 1047cb is an artist and the value of a well.

The design and development

Sliding open the door to reveal two USB 2.0 ports and jacks for headphones and microphone. On the front is starting to read memory cards: xD / Smart Media, SD / MMC, Memory Stick and Compact Flash. No DVD-Multi drive with LightScribe technology, and another empty 5.25-inch.

HP Pavilion P7 1047cb

The back office gives up multiple connectivity options: four USB 2.0 ports, VGA, DVI-D, Ethernet, and analogue audio. The system lacks eSATA and USB 3.0 ports, but comes with 802.11n Wi-Fi. The kit comes with VGA and DVI cables for connecting up to 1 920 by 1, 080 HP 2311x screen has an HDMI port on the screen, too, but the lack of one on the computer that makes unnecessary. Because the monitor does not have built-in speakers, you should use a small pair of HP flows into or provide your own.

HP Pavilion P7 1047cb

Cracking open the office is to loosen a screw with a Phillips screwdriver and slide the side panel. Inside you will find only two RAM slots, both filled with a total of 6 GB of DDR3 memory. There is a PCI Express (PCIe) x16, three PCIe x1 slots free, but the power of 250 watts limits you to low-end graphics cards like Radeon HD 6450 available in the HP Pavilion 1067cb P7 (list 999, $ 99, 4 stars). There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard that could accommodate more than two hard drives, but the hard drive of 1 TB is already installed should be able to satisfy all but the most eager to download. It comes preloaded with its fair share of bloatware, but Blio, eBay, Snapfish, Kobo, Netflix, Hulu, Zino and Bing Bar.

Performance

HP Pavilion 1047cb P7 has a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5-2400 processor and 6 GB of RAM. This combination offers a wonderful computing experience. The pavilion was able to manage our multimedia tests in time, encoding a video in Handbrake to 1 minute 29 seconds, 2 seconds after the Editors' Choice HP Pavilion 1067cb P7. Both systems have the same amount of time, 3 minutes 31 seconds to apply 12 filters Photoshop CS5 in our test.

HP Pavilion P7 1047cb

The P7-1047cb our test could not run 3DMark 11, but drove 11 frames per second (fps) in Crysis at 1280 x 720 resolution, on average retail. These results indicate that this team does not play well with high-end games in 3D, but could handle World of Warcraft, with torches, and even play of light, no problem. If you need a little more on the video front, the HP Pavilion 1067cb and p7-based discrete graphics work is a little better but not ideal for serious 3D gaming.

HP Pavilion 1047cb P7 is a business interest with the consumer in search of the whole package: PC, monitor, keyboard and mouse. And 'slightly altered, but not as much as, for example the Asus Essentio CM6850-07 ($ 829.99 list, 3.5 stars). Current Editors Choice 'P7 1067cb Hall becomes a bigger screen (25 inches) and a separate graphics card. But if your budget is limited, and graphics needs are modest, the HP Pavilion 1047cb P7 is a good way to go.

ODE Digital Storm Level 3

2011-10-07T22:30:00.000-07:00

ODE Level 3 is one of four pre-gaming desktop Digital Storm, and the second most powerful of the new assembly line in ODE, you can buy. Although consumers who want the game a lot, but do not want to buy and install individual components, only those with deep pockets can afford the $ 2,399 (direct) price tag. Yet, this machine should keep the game in the coming years, and Digital Storm to give any updates may require or desire.

Design and features

Built in white Corsair Graphite Series 600T 20-inch high case, the level of 3 ODE is an easy and neat. Plastic window on the right side you will see neatly arranged inside: The wires are routed under the motherboard tray, and a red interior lighting to display all the components, even in the dark. The frame is air-friendly, with a top drilled to release the hot air in a natural and liquid cooling system for the CPU (the Corsair) and many fans will also be present. PC ports has four USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, microphone and audio connectors and one FireWire 400 The rear panel features even more ports, including four DVI-I, two HDMI and DisplayPort, two Eight USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 400, eSATA, power, eSATA and audio connectors. There are also two USB 3.0 ports on the back, but one is on the plug connected to a port on the front of the pass-through cable.

ODE Digital Storm Level 3

Cracking open the system is easy and requires no tools, by just pushing the two side levers ODE panel. Six drive bays contain a sliding disc Caddies, two of which have been met. One contains a 120GB solid state disk (SSD) for use in the operating system and applications, and other 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive storage. One of the four optical drive bays are available on Blu-ray combo. Sabertooth Asus P67 motherboards are equipped with eight SATA ports, of which three are used (two one 6Gbps 3Gbps), 3Gbps SATA 6Gbps two three are free. Two PCI Express (PCIe) x16 uses the Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 graphics cards, which prevent the expansion slot, except an empty PCIe x1 slots on two of the four RAM slots are filled with a total of 8GB of memory. All these components are powered by power supply 800 watts of power, which is more than enough for the existing equipment, and supports a number of add-ons as well.

Digital Storm is a builder, so it is not surprising that the company offers a premium-support systems. This is a three-year limited warranty, which covers part of the trade of work, optimization and diagnostics. It is also possible to replace defective parts of the year, and lifetime access to work and free updates and customer support for Digital Storm.

ODE Digital Storm Level 3

Performance

Game performance is the name of the PC game, its core 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-2600K GTX 570 cards and two videos to help clean his rival, although the storm Enix Digital Black Ops Edition ($ 3,627 , 4 stars). Crysis in our DirectX 10 (DX10) Test Level 3 ODE play scored a solid 71 frames per second (fps) at the highest point in 1920-by-one, resolution 080, just two shy executives score Enix 73fps. Similarly, in our test Lost Planet DX11 ODE 121.7fps both won the highest setting just behind the new 2fps Enix. The Maingear F131 Super Stock is even more in price level 3 ODE, which costs $ 99 less, and scores on high production values were far below the level ODE 3: Crysis at 47fps and won Lost Planet 2, arrives at 72FPS.

In our tests multimedia, however, you can barely tell the difference between ODE and F131 Super Stock. Both times collected similar in both our test of Photoshop CS5 (2:21 ODE to level 3, at 2:18 F131 Super Stock) and our test of Cinebench R11.5 (9.14 ODE for Level 3, 9.35 for F131 Super Stock.)

Digital Storm is a Level 3 ODE ideal desktop for those who want to choose every detail of your gaming system. Digital Storm eliminates the difficulty of this process and provides a well-balanced pre-configured system will last. It comes with a warranty and a strong program focused on improving customer service, which still has for him. The components and results of our rivals reference publishers the choice of more expensive "for the platforms in the prices of high-end games, the Black Ops Enix, and beats our CE, Maingear F131 Super Stock, if we account for the performance. For these reasons, Level 3 Digital Storm ODE is our choice of new editors "for desktop gaming audience.

This is common, such cases are not routinely connect these ports to motherboard, but it's always an awkward and unattractive.

IBuyPower Gamer Power BTS11

2011-10-07T22:24:00.000-07:00

Boutique Desktop PC vendors usually offer a wider opportunity to personalize the big manufacturers make, and that comfort is to be exploited. But the systems are ready for the sellers can be just as good as it shows iBuypower BTS11 Power Player ($ 999 direct). This is a special back-to-school model offers the Intel Core i5, Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 graphics card Tues, lots of memory and to help port to connect old and new devices. You can quickly find entry-level PC gaming, but even if you do not want to choose other, more powerful components, Power Gamer BTS11 is a good performer and a good relationship.

The Phantom Power Gamer NZXT case is a white BTS11. Quite edgy and impressive chassis-perfect for players who have a lot more boisterous room to room a lot of internal components and in collaboration with its vents and fans, promoting ventilation Cables and son inside are intelligently set rout, giving the interior a clean look. Top of case has an eSATA port and two USB 2.0 ports, plus headphone and microphone jacks. On the back of the cabinet is a large number of ports: one PS / 2 (for older mice and keyboards), four USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports, analog audio and S / PDIF digital audio, VGA, DVI and HDMI (the latter for connection to HDTV and widescreen), Ethernet and legacy serial and parallel. USB 3.0 and eSATA ports for faster data transfer speeds between your computer and compatible external hard drives, but it is not integrated into the Wi-Fi, so you'll need to connect to Internet via Ethernet, unless you want to install an expansion card.

IBuyPower Gamer Power BTS11

Cracking open the system requires only loosening a few screws. Inside Gamer Power BTS11 offers plenty of room to grow: There are two open PCI Express (PCIe) x1, two PCI standard PCIe x16 slot and a x4 cabled. (The first video card slot.) Two of the four memory slots are free, as are the internal SATA ports, power to 700 watts should be sufficient to launch the smallest collections of components. Gigabyte GA-B3-D3-P67A motherboard supports CrossFireX technology, rather than SLI, so if you want to install multiple video cards, you will have to take on Nvidia and AMD use of the material in place. In addition, other PCIe x16 cause second PCIe slot to run x1 x4 instead, further reducing performance. A DVD burner is located behind a hidden door in the front part of the system (sorry, no Blu-ray player or a card reader) and a 750 GB hard drive, you get off to a good start to the storage-wise.

Performance

BTS11 Player power 3.3GHz Intel Core i5-2500K processor and 8 GB of RAM helped raise the impressive number in our tests. R11.5 CineBench noted in 6.68, on par with similarly configured speed Micro Edge Z40 ($ 1.199 Direct, four stars), our Editors Choice for PC games basic level, who scored a 6.41. In our test of Photoshop CS5, the BTS11 12 image filters applied in 2 minutes and 38 seconds, seven seconds faster than the Z40 edge. (2 GB of RAM for your additional accounts iBuyPower likely perform better, despite a slight overclock the Z40).

We have also seen good results in our tests, the player scoring a power BTS11 excellent frame rates 109 frames per second (fps), medium quality settings at 1280-by-720 resolution play DirectX 10 (DX10) Crysis, play hard, and 63.5fps on the DX11 Lost Planet 2 Since the video is intended to be used at lower resolutions, you want to change the settings if you intend to play a larger monitor: BTS11 Player power has proved much slower than and the results of 17fps 22fps is Crysis and Lost Planet 2, respectively, both of which use maxed-out the details of the 1920 by-1, 080 resolution. Z40 top GeForce GTX 560 graphics card Tues gave the edge here, leaving earning a respectable frame rate is 33fps and 49fps is Crysis, Lost Planet 2, even at maximum resolution.

IBuyPower Power Player BTS11 offers great gaming performance for its price at lower resolutions and the election, even more efficient some of our editors, the Velocity Micro Edge Z40, other basic computing tasks. However, for high end games on the Z40 power video card makes the road ahead, and the system is more widely appreciated features (such as Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n Blu-ray) iBuyPower Trump eSATA , USB 3.0 and the existing ports. But if your needs are modest and are looking to save $ 200 on a PC game players, entry-level energy is an attractive buy BTS11, though not beyond the capabilities of the Z40 Velocity Micro.

Apple Mac Mini (Thunderbolt)

2011-10-07T22:20:00.000-07:00

The Apple Mac mini (Ray) ($ 799 list) is the latest compact desktop PC from Apple. While iPads and iPhones have a lot of attention these days, the Mac is still an important part of Apple's business. You will use the tablets and mobile phones as they are, and the Mac when you want to do serious work like writing for long periods of time or watch a movie on the big screen with family. The new Mac mini with an upgraded version of the port beam, the second generation of Intel Core i5 and new discrete graphics from AMD, but it is also notable for something that probably will not have to use: Remove the chassis of the optical drive. Oh, and is as powerful as a PC tower. Users used to regard the Mac mini as an extra PC second or third time at home, rather than a host PC. The new iteration is now powerful enough to take over the main home PC. Plus it is still ideal base station for your iPod, iPhone and iPad.

For all these reasons, earning Apple Mac mini (Thunderbolt) Editors Choice for compact desktops.

Apple Mac Mini (Thunderbolt)

Design and features

The new version of the Mac mini is similar to the previous iteration, Apple Mac Mini (HDMI) ($ 699 list, 4.5 stars). It has the same unibody aluminum chassis with an obvious difference. It is no longer an optical drive slot-loading, a feature that played an important role in the line of Mac mini since its inception in 2005. Basically, it's as if Apple says "we gave you the iTunes Store, Safari and Mac App Store online, why would you need an optical drive?" As the original iMac drive became so prominent disk of its desktops, Mac mini (Thunderbolt) is a stake into the ground and declare that you do not need an optical drive more. Of course, there were no nettops miniature optical discs for a while Now, as Giada MiniPC A50 ($ 449 street, 3.5 stars). But the Mac mini is a compact desktop without some premium optical drive.

Apple Mac Mini (Thunderbolt)

The fact is that optical drives are very useful to install the programs and the rebuilding of the operating system. Apple's App Store, Mac and download online treatment programs, and Mac OS X Lion is designed to be installed from the recovery partition, Internet, or from a USB stick. Sure, you can install Windows 7 on a USB stick as well, but first you must find a way to create one yourself: All new Mac mini will be able to install the Lion of the recovery partition or on the Internet after you type a combination key at startup. Apple to sell the finished product Leone USB key in the near future. If you absolutely need to read an optical disc, you can split a perspective of any Mac or PC, you install the client program on your PC or LAN MAC. You can also use the same optional external Apple SuperDrive ($ 79), which was published on the MacBook Air. If you have previous versions of the software that you can still install DVD, you can think of a gathering.

Apple Mac Mini (Thunderbolt)

The internal layout of the Mac mini is the same as last time: memory slots opening in the bottom panel shows (filled) with 4 GB of memory, not much. You can see 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi antenna, but to go further, you need Torx screwdrivers and patience. Mac mini is not designed to be repaired by users (apart from memory), so unless you have a load of stamina, you will not replace the internal 500 GB hard drive soon. The office comes with a 500 GB 5400 rpm drive, which deals with its compact size for a small performance. You can set the mini when you order from the Apple online store at 7200 rpm 750 GB hard drive ($ 150), a 256 GB SSD ($ 600) or both ($ 750).

In the back, a lot will sound familiar: power button, power port for AC power cable, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, Ray HDMI port (functionally the incorporation of the previous mini-DisplayPort), four USB 2.0 ports, DVD SDXC card, and a pair of digital audio ports audio capabilities. The power port is remarkable because the office has an integrated power supply instead of the brick power available in many small computers. It is both more convenient and more beautiful than the power supply. Lightning port interface uses the new Intel (think of it as an external PCIe), so in theory you can connect multiple monitors, hard drives, and even other interfaces such as USB 3.0 or eSATA. In practice, only devices that Ray may order the promise of a RAID array R6 Pegasus and the next block the beam of the screen (27 inches). Hopefully we will see ray devices before the end of the year.

The office comes with a couple of extra hard drive, including the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie, etc.) in addition to the new Mac OS OS X Lion. Lion is optimized for Magic Magic Mouse and Apple trackpad with new features such as Launchpad, and mission control is working hard on these devices scoring touch. However, using an old mouse to be a bit confusing. Scroll wheel works opposite of what you expect (turning the scroll wheel to push you to the page, and vice versa) and you obviously can not activate the reader with a multi-touch mouse third party. Parameters of the mouse and touchpad control panels can change the behavior of scrolling back to what you're used to. Mac mini (Thunderbolt) comes with an HDMI to DVI adapter so you can use the system with a monitor, keyboard and old mice. But to take full advantage of the new features of the Lion, you had better budgeting $ 69 for the Magic Trackpad.

Performance

Mac mini (Thunderbolt) has an Intel Core i5-2520m processor and AMD Radeon HD 6630M discrete graphics, there are certainly strong enough to run our benchmark tests well, including 3D games. We tested the system on Mac OS X Leo, and Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit) using Boot Camp. Mac mini (Thunderbolt) finished our video Handbrake in a quick 1 minute 42 seconds in Windows and 2:23 in the Mac OS. The system also finished with Photoshop CS5 test 3:47 ET 5:10 Windows in Mac OS. This is significantly faster than Core 2 Duo Mac mini to equip ped from last year, which took about 3:32 to complete the handbrake and 7:14 to complete CS5.

Similarly, the Mac mini (Ray) improve 3D graphics capabilities as follows: At the time, the Mac Mini (HDMI) was the top performer in the class of compact 3D PC, scoring 21 frames per second (fps) Crysis in medium quality. The Mac mini (Ray) completed the test itself in a much more playable 48 fps. Not exactly the ultra-smooth 60 fps + again, but you should be able to play Crysis frame rates in the Mac mini with some adjustments in the configuration. This is important because the only competitor we have recently seen in this price range is the Asus Essentio CM6850-07 (list $ 829.99, 3.5 stars). The Asus CM6850-07 is a tower with a high-class card Thurs discrete graphics. Even then, the Asus had a score only slightly better with Crysis 50fps. The Asus does not get a better score on Lost Planet 2 for average quality (26 fps Asus, Apple 19 fps), but scores are also not playable.

Asus CM6850-07 was faster than the Mac mini (Thunderbolt) on the benchmark tests as Handbrake, CS5, and PCMark Vantage, can be attributed to Asus CM6850-07 is faster 7200 rpm hard drive (the Mac mini has a 5400 rpm). Mac mini (Thunderbolt) bluffed compact PC vendors' Choice Dell Inspiron Zino HD (Inspiron 410) ($ 849.99 direct, 4 stars) on the same samples. All this means that the Mac mini shows that you do not need to sacrifice performance, if you want a compact desktop.

The compact form factor is usually about compromise. You can either go really compact, low power, but that Giada PC and Eee Box from Asus, or go a little bigger and really cheap as the HP Pavilion Slimline S5-1020 ($ 429.99 list, 3.5 stars ). In the high-end systems such as HD Zino Dell and Apple Mac mini. These systems use high-end multi-core processors like Intel Core i5 and AMD Phenom X4 with a discrete graphics card to provide you with the Tower-PC performance in a compact. Like the iPhone and iPad, the Mac mini is now a true extension of the Apple ecosystem, where you can connect to the Internet to buy media, entertainment and online software and Apple stores. It is likely that you will not miss the optical media now, so you certainly will not miss the future. It's not like Blu-ray has never been a concern for Mac users in the past: if you own, you have something else that can play them.

Dell Zino HD, which is more expensive than the Mac mini is still available on the Dell website, but it is basically the same model with an equivalent AMD quad-core processor and ATI Radeon HD graphics like the previous iteration Dell Zino we examined. Blu-ray side, new Mac mini is much stronger and more capable in general. So Apple Mac mini (Thunderbolt) is the choice of new editor for PC compact.

However, the 800-pound gorilla of all Mac programs, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 is available for download online.

Cyber Power Gamer Xtreme 9000

2011-10-07T21:57:00.000-07:00

Cyber Power Gamer Xtreme 9000 will have two desktops, Maingear F131 Super Stock (2300 $ directly, to 4 stars), and choosing the current Editors' Digital Storm ODE for level 3 ($ 2,399 direct, 4.5 stars) is which is better than the previous one, but can 't quite match the second game of power. But for those of us do, that most of us, who do not have $ 2,399 to save a typical high-end desktop gaming, Cyber Power of $ 1799 (direct) price is a good substitute for those who want some games seriously without going broke.

Design and features

The Gamer Xtreme 9000 uses a solid metal case with black brushed aluminum front panel, then compared with the elegant white frames at level 3 ODE is not much to write home about. At first glance, the facade seems to have only one vent, Blu-ray / DVD-R / W optical drive, and the power button. The two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, audio and microphone and FireWire 400 are hidden behind a discreet door clicked open and close by pressing one of its corners. The upper deck has an internal hard disk location that converts a 2.5-inch drive in an external storage unit, according to recycling nice for those with extra hard drives around.

Cyber Power Gamer Xtreme 9000

On the back there is a plethora of video inputs including two HDMI ports, mini-, four DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI and a VGA port. Audio connections include standard audio and microphone jack and SPDIF output for speakers. There are seven USB 2.0 ports, eSATA and two USB 3.0 ports, but they are obsessed with the son who meander through the chassis to provide you with the USB 3.0 connection at the front. This solution pass-through is common, such cases are not usually associate these ports to the motherboard headers, but it is still awkward and unattractive. A wired Ethernet connection is also there, but there is no Wi-Fi you need to install a card if you want to connect wirelessly to the Internet. An additional feature is the Bluetooth 2.1 wireless technology that allows you to pair with a wide range of Bluetooth devices.

The side of the Gamer Xtreme 9000 has a transparent window for your friends, or maybe a potential date, you can admire in the dual SLI Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards and attractive Ti enormous amount of energy a 850W! The internal wiring is well organized, allowing adequate ventilation vent drilled in the front, back and top of the chassis, with some fans, of course. Cracking open the system is easy and requires no tools: Simply click on two levers on the sides of the Xtreme Gamer 9000. There are two DIMM slots, four, which currently holds the second of 4 GB each for a total of 8 GB of DDR3 RAM.

Cyber Power Gamer Xtreme 9000

PCI and PCIe x16 slot is difficult to reach because they are in two Nvidia graphics cards, so anything extra is a bit 'tight. Extras PCIe x1 is plenty of space for the card, so there is no need to pinch your fingers with a PCI card to install something.

6Gbps two motherboard SATA ports and two SATA 3Gbps connect an optical drive or additional hard drive as needed. There are many bays to three optical drives and four hard drives. Two slots for 1 TB hard drives are available in the spin cycle at 7200 rpm to drive and a 28GB solid state disk (SSD). Now is the SSD disk cache, which stores frequently used programs, such as start, Microsoft Word, Outlook, the World of Warcraft, etc. This technique has allowed Intel intelligent response programs, and contribute to a better time to launch applications and plenty of time to boot the PC to minimize the time it takes to download Starcraft II to the next level, or launch of Portal 2 Just to be clear, if you were to go to the computer to run Windows, it seems, but the Intelligent caching technology / SSD can be controlled. This can be a lot to take into mainstream user, but is not involved in the setup for you.

However, the complexity in the kidnapping and the choice of these components in the configuration page may deter some users, especially if they are not as well read what he refers to the PC. That's why systems such as the level of 3 ODE, which I recommend to consumers of the public, gives the system without the hassle of combing through each specialty.

Performance

Player Xtreme 9000 is designed for high-end gaming enthusiasts, which means it can play Crysis (DirectX 10) and Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 11) with settings of high quality anti-aliasing, textures, it works. It reached 60 frames per second (fps), is Crysis and 96fps in Lost Planet is a 2 These results are only the two most expensive our Editors' Choice for the game: Maingear F131 (47fps Crysis, 72fps Lost Planet) and Digital Storm ODE (71fps Crysis, Lost Planet 121.7fps). So it's better than Maingear, but still lower than that Digital Storm ODE 3D performance. Of course, the digital storm ODE has the advantage of dual-SLI Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 graphics cards, while the player Xtreme 9000 is equipped with two Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards.

The 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-2600K processor combined with 8 GB of RAM makes quick work of multimedia programs. The Gamer Xtreme 9000 is moved through our video encoding handbrake in 59 seconds and a cycle through 12 image filters CS5s more intensive Photoshop in 2 minutes and 26 seconds. So in addition to the game, you can edit photos and videos, perhaps posted on YouTube or this section in the forums Let's play something bad.

The system comes with a limited warranty that includes three years free labor to replace any defect or any part of upgrade. CyberPower also provides free technical support for life via phone and email.

CyberPower Gamer Xtreme The PC 9000 is a solid game that will be able to play virtually any game on high quality 3D in the set of the highest quality, and price of $ 1799 certainly softens the case. However, the level of digital three most powerful storms ODE, and the SSD storage solution, and all around the purchase of the system is a little more understandable to general users who can not understand the complexities of choosing and managing parts a cache storage. If you're more the DIY enthusiast or a hardcore user, and do not mind combing through several pages to pick and choose the specifications of your desktop, the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 9000 is an excellent alternative to ODE Digital Storm level 3 if are willing to pay more than $ 600 for the second. But if you want to buy a PC and do not want to go through the process of creating a piece by piece (the building of a bear) and do not want to pay $ 600 more, then check the Acer Aspire Predator AG7750-U2222 (4 stars , $ 1.999)

Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01)

2011-10-07T21:46:00.000-07:00

Samsung Series 7 All-in-One (DP700A38-01) (list $ 999.99 at Best Buy) is an amazing desktop. With the Samsung logo on the back of the monitor of 16 mm thick PC rivals the Apple iMac as a desktop thin all that stands on his desk. It also has a clear glass touchscreen, which is one of the few to use a PC not look bulky on the screen. In essence, the display is on the bezel, so you can easily reach all parts of the screen until you reach the periphery. It is certainly not fast enough and powerful enough to do more than you expect from your main computer. But as good as the leaders in the space, all in one?

Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01)

The design and development

The DP700A38-01 was one of the most television-like conception of space all-in-one PC. It looks like a 23-inch HDTV with built-in DVD player. In some ways, dictate the design of the proposed use: The screen has a resolution of 1920 by 1, 080 (1080p) resolution, it works great as an Internet TV. The screen is as bright and as clear as the Samsung HDTV. The desktop screen is as thin or thinner than most HDTVs. The glass has a surface acoustic wave touch sensor that reacts more like the capacitive touch screen on the shelves. The touch sensors on older infrared touch-screen computers are less accurate and require the display is surrounded by a raised bezel. The touch screen transparent DP700A38-01 it is easier to reach points on the edges and corners (like the Start menu button and close buttons).

Screen tilt back 90 degrees vertically and horizontally. 90-degree position is for a touch of good games, especially when two or more players are playing at the same time. And even if the screen tilts gently enough, is a bit 'of "bounce" using the touch screen in place. And 'disconcerting to see a tax product to do this, but the effect of a single hinge. The hinge is simple, and keeps the screen flat during most use, but it is too little friction to maintain a constant touch-screen sessions. Needless to say, you need to be demonstrated, even if you plan to use the touch screen touch for intense play. Another NIT would be lying on the ergonomics of a flat screen: You are likely to be curved on it.

Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01)

The DP700A38-01 comes with a 1 TB, 7200 RPM drive, which is plenty for most users (which is enough to store hundreds of thousands of digital photos, for example). The office also comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. The slots of the keyboard like a puzzle piece on a board in the base frame, allowing you to reclaim space on your desktop. The DP700A38-01 also comes with 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi, which is pretty standard these days on the desktop. The integrated speakers are sufficient for domestic use and come with software to optimize and tailor the sound to what you hear (music, movies, etc.).

It comes with four USB 2.0 ports on the back (one occupied by the receiver for the keyboard and mouse), and a USB 3.0 port on the right side. The USB 3.0 has a feature that allows you to upload electronic products, such as a smartphone or tablet, while the system is asleep. Perhaps the most important are the two HDMI ports, one input and one output. The output port is useful for multi-monitor configurations, you have two monitors at the same time may increase your workflow. The HDMI input extends the life of the screen, so that in the future, you can connect a laptop for when the bowels of the 7 series are too slow and you can use the HDMI input with a cable box or DVR true for TV on your PC. HDMI HDTV tuners were replaced as the "must-have" feature for fans of PC / TV. That said, it would have been nice to have at least the option of a Blu-ray player for early adopters with vast libraries of movies in high definition.

Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01)

DP700A38-01 has some programs installed. Normal Office 2010 Starter is here, more than 60-day trial version of Norton Internet Security. A bit 'of bloatware like Skype, Wild Tangent and the Kindle is pre-installed. Samsung Touch Launcher turns DP700A38-01 screen tablets as the home screen. You can add any program from the Start menu or desktop shortcut, drag the program or shortcut, a little 'touch startup folder, use the touch screen. Touch Launcher also has a couple of widgets such as weather and time. It is not as complete as the system, HP TouchSmart, HP TouchSmart 610-1150y ($ 1,199.99 at Best Buy, 4.5 stars), but it is more engaging than the touch of Dell, hovering over the Windows 7 OS systems, as Dell Inspiron 2305 One (IO2305-4400ELS) (list $ 799.99, 3 stars).

There is a row of touch-sensitive buttons for the optical drive: the volume buttons, screen brightness, the display on / off source (HDMI / PC), power, and a shortcut button for launching the Touch software. The final touch is a button on the menu button on the controls screen.

Best Buy also has an extended warranty program, which offers customers an additional year of protection beyond the warranty one year most system manufacturers. There are two plans in this extended warranty program. The standard diet ($ 119.99) covers the system against wear and tear, power surge damage, and includes a "No Lemon" Guarantee of Purchase, where just replace the computer if you need more repairs during the coverage period 4. POINT Best Buy ($ 219.99) offers all this and the system also covers accidental damage from falls and spills.

Performance

The DP700A38-01 comes with an Intel Core i3-2120T dual-core processor technology and Intel Hyper-Threading HD 2000 Integrated Graphics GPU. The Office completed the trial video encoder handbrake 2 minutes 5 seconds and the test of Photoshop CS5 4:31. These results are mediocre, but certainly adequate for casual use of a family. Systems like the Dell Inspiron 2305 (IO2305-4400ELS) are a bit faster (1:47 handbrake, 03:54 in CS5), but they pale in true four-processor as the heart of Apple iMac 21, 5 inches (Ray) ($ 1,199 list, 4.5 stars) that cut across these tests quickly (1:25 handbrake, 03:29 in CS5). The DP700A38-01 from day to day performance is slightly better than average, scoring seven points in PCMark 2451. In addition to subjective observations, the office has played 1080p HD video without problems and the touch interface of the launcher system was sensitive.

Samsung Series 7 (DP700A38-01) was shot over the bow of all-in-one-class leaders, such as the HP TouchSmart 610 and 21.5-inch Apple iMac. This is a pretty decent show and a show. It also has some features of the standard, the lack of less expensive systems, especially in the HDMI port and 90-degree tilt of the screen. However, the touchscreen is not as good as the HP TouchSmart one, especially because the bounce of the screen that occurs when you use it. In essence, when the display is not vertical (degreees 0-89), we recommend using touch-screen Samsung sparingly. HP TouchSmart swing 610 is much more stable when using the touch screen, even if it is "only" a 60-degree angle of inclination (which works perfectly from a sitting or standing). As long as you're going to use the touchscreen as a main user interface, Samsung's Series 7 DP700A38-01 is a nice all-in-one.

Fujitsu Stylistic Q550

2011-09-27T09:02:00.000-07:00

Q550 can be divided in the form of the fire-centric consumer media tablets, but this slate PC is designed to handle the 'shock, drops and sprays. Strong magnesium alloy chassis is built to meet the tests of military resistance, vibration, altitude, temperature and humidity, but light enough to travel to a businessman just £ 1.87. E '2.1 kilos lighter than the Acer Iconia Tab BZ467-W500 ($ 549.99 direct, 3.5 stars) and 1.93 pounds ViewSonic ViewPad 10 ($ 729 list, 2 stars), but still heavier than the Apple iPhone 2 (1.35 pounds). Size 0.63 10.83 7.56 inches (HWD), is also nearly twice the thickness of the iPad 2 (0.34 inches), but thinner than the Acer W500-BZ467 (0.77 inches).

Fujitsu Stylistic Q550

The 10.1-inch touch screen is covered with chemically strengthened glass, designed to resist scratches and finger stylus taps, and reduce glare. The display features 400 nits and a 1280 by 800 resolution, so you can enjoy the video 720p. A standard size HDMI port, you can also enjoy the content on an HDTV. The display is combined with a mono speaker, and although the sound was terrible, the lack of stereo disappoint some.

The Q550 uses the same digital pen as CL900 Motion Computing (1250 USD Street, 3.5 stars), a pen of power, which takes a single AAAA-yes, four double a battery. For some tasks, like writing pen is a perfect tool. It is also the best way to offset the fact that most of the display shelf, it is difficult to use your fingers to click on icons and scroll bars in Windows 7 A button on the stylus, you can perform the equivalent of a right-click with your mouse without pressing the key maneuver is used on most Windows tablets.

The digital pen also comes with its own set of questions. On the one hand, there is no place to store when not in use, only a place to put a leash. It just kept when not in use, or let it hang freely. The pen will also need the occasional battery replacement and scanner tip. Although it is the advanced replacement comes with the digital pen is not so great to see some of the tablet changes hands and be used all day by several people that can not be programmed on the screen or stylus. Replacement batteries can be purchased anywhere that carries AAAA size battery, but the replacement tips can be found at the site of Fujitsu. Stylus replacement sets sell for $ 25 (direct Fujitsu).

Perhaps the strongest feature of the project are available in the user's Q550 is available in battery, which can be removed and the switch off. Most slate tablet PCs and we have seen in recent times to seal the battery inside the frame, and requires a visit from a technician for replacement. Two other exceptions are Toshiba Thrive (Wi-Fi) ($ 579.99 direct, 3.5 stars), which is similar to replace the battery, but it puts you behind the removable back plate and the Panasonic Toughbook U1 Ultra, which is a dual-battery setup, so you can use both batteries and the switch or the other.

Fujitsu Stylistic Q550

Feature

Magnesium chassis Q550 has a lot of business-friendly. Many of these features are focused on safety, such as a fingerprint scanner, smartcard reader and embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM). A USB 2.0 port and a full-size HDMI allow for greater flexibility than most tablets offer consumer devices connecting and external displays. Docking connector allows you to combine dock Fujitsu brand, but are sold separately ($ 69.99 direct, Fujitsu). Connector on the bottom, you can connect to the mains.

Q550 is located on the front of the VGA 640 480 webcam video chat. Another 1.3-megapixel camera behind the tablet provides a more accurate picture, but it is not able to replace the phone's camera.

The touchscreen interface is complemented by a selection of physical checks. At the right edge of the platform, there is a physical on / off switch, a dedicated button Ctrl-Alt-Delete and the button turns the screen, which used to change direction. Wireless connections, including Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0, you can turn on and off with a dedicated switch. Although these controls are practical, these buttons are grouped on one edge is not the best idea. You should be careful in carrying out the tablet on the side for not wanting to turn the power abruptly or rotate the screen.

The Q550 has a 62GB solid state disk (SSD), which replaces the traditional spinning hard drive in flash memory. In the absence of moving parts to worry, this storage solution is more durable and reliable than standard hard disk spinning. If 62GB of storage space is not enough, the Q550 also has an integrated SD card reader, which allows you to increase the storage space of up to 32 GB per card. The 62GB drive is a relatively free software, with a single tablet of some specific services and a bootable version of Microsoft Office 2010 loaded on it by the manufacturer. Fujitsu also covers style Q550 year warranty with a line of technical support 24 hours.

Performance

Q550 features an Intel Atom Z670, a 1.5GHz single-core processor is optimized for use with the tablets. The final iteration of Intel "Oak Trail" in the model series, Z670 is tailor-made to handle 32-bit version of Windows 7 is' the same processor found in the Motion Computing CL900. Processor Features Intel GMA 600 integrated graphics processor, which can be a powerhouse, but it gives more than enough to graphically supported by most programs and web browsing.

In Cinebench R11.5, Q550 scored 0.18 points, almost matching competitors such as ViewSonic ViewPad 10 (0.20 points) and Motion Computing CL900 (0.22 points). But he fell behind Acer Iconia Loss BZ467-W500 (0.39 points), which has an AMD C-50 series APU processor much more sophisticated than what Intel currently offers the tablets. In actual use, I found the Q550 to be quite agile for a Windows 7-compressed, but even the fastest Windows Tablet quickly fall behind competitors that run operating systems that are tailored to the strengths and weaknesses material tablet.

Due to some compatibility issues with software, Q550 could not run our SYSmark benchmark test, but it is not surprising. None of the tablets of Windows, we tested recently, was able to run this test. He did, however, work with the battery test MobileMark 2007. Using the extended 4-cell (38WHr) battery, Q550 lasted 7 hours and 42 minutes on a single charge. He survived the ViewSonic 10 (4:03) and almost beat CL900 Motion Computing (7:24) and iPad2 that lasted 7:30 in the video summary tests. The Q550 is still alive, compared with Panasonic U1 Ultra, which lasted about nine hours with his twin 21Wh battery. Toshiba prosper, which has a user-accessible battery lasted 7:10 Similar tests summary video.

With its collection of works and safety, Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 business functionality successfully marry a factor in tablet form. Although hampered by some of the same problems seen in tablet form many windows, such as lack of a keyboard and a judicious touch user interface clunky, manages Q550 spend a lot of difficulties due to its combination of pen and dedicated control physics. If your needs are not related to an operating system, Apple iPhone 2 is always the best tablet out there. But if your company needs the Windows computer in a portable, hands on the package, Fujitsu Stylistic Q550 one of the best options available to you.

Fujitsu M2010

2011-09-27T09:00:00.000-07:00

The M2010 is a new netbook to hit the market for Fujitsu, which is their first Atom-based model to date. Looks good and offers a good quality of construction, it is marketed as a "mini laptop" designed for casual users who want a small platform for surfing the Web or check e-mail. In this test, we examine all aspects of the M2010, to help you know if this netbook is right for you.

From the beginning, Fujitsu made a nice netbook. M2010 is a great shiny metallic red paint and off the shiny piano black plastic around the top of the keyboard and screen. I truly believe that Fujitsu has taken a step back and think before they came up with the launch netbook in a saturated market ... and found some interesting ways to make it stand out. Whatever the approach we took, it worked.

Fujitsu M2010

Build quality is excellent, squeaks and creaks around the frame, and only minor flex large plastic surfaces. Even the screen hinges feel good with good power when the swivel screen and a very smooth action when moving. At the bottom of the notebook, we find the standard "We Fujitsu" in the location of the processor, which limits the amount of heat can be transferred in the legs when used on your lap. This is the norm in Fujitsu laptops I've ever seen.

Access to internal components is managed by a single panel at the bottom of the laptop, but it only allows you to replace the wireless card and system memory. The hard drive will require further removal of ... something the average user may not want to do. However, it was probably a bad choice, because the memory and storage is the only area of expansion and modernization for netbook users.

Fujitsu M2010

Screen and speakers

The glossy screen of the M2010 is very similar, as is the case with many netbook LED-backlit display. The colors are rich and vibrant, with excellent contrast and deep blacks. Maximum levels of brightness have been great to see in bright light conditions of the office, with the right configuration preferred by 50%. Check the angle on average, with the colors start to invest 20 degrees forward or backward. Horizontal viewing angles were much better, extending to the screen bezel and reflection began to obstruct the view of the panel.

Average heart rate compared to a netbook speakers, and below average compared to most laptops. Peak volume levels were fine to listen to a small room, but do not have much power to fill the chamber wall. Bass and midrange were not only higher frequencies to come. Headphones should really enjoy music or movies.

Keyboard and touchpad

The keyboard is the main area that I feel Fujitsu should have spent more time in development. Compared to almost every netbook on the market today, it is one of the smaller keyboard layout that feels very tight. As HP set the trend for one of the best laptop keyboards, manufacturers like ASUS has followed a similar path, expand the keyboard to make it as wide as possible to the chassis. Fujitsu holds a wide edge around the keyboard, much like the glossy red, but does not allow such a large writing surface. Despite the small size of the keyboard feels very good. The support is excellent, with just a hint of flex under heavy pressure to write. Individual key action is smooth, with very little swing key when you try to move top of the key around. Noise is minimal as you type, with a soft large not click when each key is pressed.

M2010 has a Synaptics touchpad with smaller smooth finish. During the tests, it was easy to use, without perceptible delay (a configuration of a few). Initially, we found the touchpad to the coast, after they put their fingers on the surface, he felt very similar to the touchpad lag. We found Synaptics feature called "Momentum" was used, and moving off again on the trackpad feels a lot nicer. The trackpad offers multi-touch features such as flick, pinch, and ChiralRotate, used to rotate the selected object 90 degrees. It is not an option for two finger scroll found. The touchpad buttons are setup button with the swing, which is flexible enough that the two buttons can be pressed simultaneously. Feedback is down is minimal, engaged in a strong shot.

Fujitsu M2010

Ports and Features

Port Selection M2010 is average compared to most of the netbook market, three USB ports, VGA, headphone / microphone and SDHC Multi-Card Reader, and the LAN. Fujitsu is also a Kensington lock slot if you feel that you need to securely connect the netbook and unattended.

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550

2011-09-27T08:58:00.000-07:00

The LifeBook AH550 is a portable 15.6-inch desktop replacement Fujitsu. With a starting price of $ 749, the AH550 has an Intel Core i3-330M, 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Configurations with more dedicated NVIDIA graphics card are also available with a premium of $ 200. In this review, we see the LifeBook AH550 compared with other 15-inch desktop replacement and if it is worthy of your next purchase.

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550

Design and build

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 is a class, inside and black metallic finish with chrome. The screen lid with the Fujitsu logo, and before the center, and the name of the company and a small logo on the top edge. Inside, by bezel palmrest, keyboard and screen of the same metallic finish trim black with chrome around the touch pad and along the front edge. If all the stickers were removed from the body of the laptop Lifebook AH550 I think is one of the smartest laptop around to see.

Build quality is average compared to other generation of consumer notebooks and small size. Billboards, including the palm and the screen cover, some bending, but nothing that stands out. Palm, the optical drive is more than some people give. Taken a laptop around, the place is flexible upwards from the bottom and inside the cavity with no optical drive. The paint finish is of excellent quality holds up admirably free of scratches and scuffs. Everything, even the Palm is an opaque plastic, which is very glossy black finish and also helps to hide the abuse newspaper. Like most of Fujitsu notebooks, this model also offers a removable filter air to the bottom.

Fujitsu provides users with easy access to the hard drive and system memory, the two panels on the bottom of a laptop. One area that may be of concern is the future of fashion, where the battery is installed, the spring clips instead of plastic blocks. If a clip has never been broken or lost the thrill of the battery will no longer get stuck in the system.

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550

Keyboard and Touchpad

LifeBook AH550 The keyboard has a very comfortable professional quality that is easy to type on and gives an excellent tactile response. Keyboard support is excellent, even more ruthless in the classification with the main task for the individual mechanisms. Key wobble just this biggest key was smooth despite the travel offset presses that can sometimes cause blockages. The keyboard is both full-size spill-resistant with a keypad. The provision was easy to get used to the difference in some models, the keyboard is not only the buttons on the main section of the keyboard.

For a multimedia notebook, we were surprised to see no dedicated multimedia keys or function keys repurposed of any kind. The only extra button on the laptop has been a key support next to the power button.

Touchpad with LifeBook AH550 is a medium-size model of ALPS some multitouch capabilities. The sensitivity was excellent, and we found only a small delay of extensive testing. A long, click and drag to move the touchpad sometimes uncheck dragging and we were stuck in a different symbol and move it. Adjusting the settings seemed to improve this problem, but we never had this problem, the Synaptics touchpad. Gestures are supported pan scroll, pinch, zoom and rotation. Along with the standard up and down the roll, it also supports the chiral (circular) scrolling action added to the occasion.

Screen and speakers

The AH550 has a choice of screen resolution integrated and dedicated graphic variants. Both systems include a backlit LED panel with a resolution of 1366x768 WXGA. These days, I wonder when the mid-range models do not offer a screen resolution of 1600x900 HD compatible, especially if multimedia oriented. The plaque itself with color and contrast of good average. The glossy screen surface helped to give the appearance of the color saturation of colors and improved black levels. Screen brightness was good to see in bright conditions for the position, but with an advanced level of illumination measured at 190 nits, it was not bright enough to see outdoors.

AH550 speakers are located above the keyboard and the sound less than the average compared to other multimedia-oriented notebooks. Low and medium volumes were up very weak inadequate even for small environments. Listening to music or talk to someone VOIP software, which work well, however, left much to be desired. Headphones or digital audio over HDMI would be better to listen to music.

Ports and Features

Fujitsu LifeBook AH550 offered a good selection of ports including four USB 2.0 ports, VGA and HDMI-out, LAN and analog audio. Expansion slots includes a SDHC compatible card reader and ExpressCard/54 slot. The development of the port at the rear was crowded with three USB 2.0 ports, slots are located right next to each other. This configuration can block other ports if you have a large device to plug in.

Asus G74SX-A2

2011-09-27T08:51:00.000-07:00

There is nothing small about Asus G74SX-A2, from its large 17-inch (2.4 to 16.5 by 12.8 inches, HWD) with its oversized keyboards. It weighs 9.7 kg is tied with other gaming laptops that Alienware M17x 9.8 pounds (Sandy Bridge), but most frantic £ 13.3 AVADirect Clevo X7200 ($ 4,957.64 direct, 3.5 stars). Yet the G74SX-A2 is not built for portability without changing its resting place in your home. Gaming laptops are available with most portable Alienware M11x series. There is a strong hinge along the back edge of G74SX-A2, which gives a more stable base than most laptops.

Asus G74SX-A2

The Asus has a thick wedge profile that puts the keyboard and palm rest with five degree slope much more comfortable than flat models is the Alienware M17x (Sandy Bridge) and AVADirect Clevo X7200. The keyboard is large with great style Chiclet keys and more than an inch of separation between the keyboard and numeric keypad, full size, the button with four arrows between the two. The keyboard also has large buttons and control changes, which makes it very easy to use a macro or a keyboard shortcut not accidentally hit the wrong button. The keys are framed in brushed aluminum, which is cold to the touch, and combined with other soft-touch palm rubber for a comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. Asus full of a mouse with our review unit, which has a button to switch between different DPI settings (mouse sensitivity) and integrated front / back thumb buttons.

The wired USB mouse has a soft rubber coating for the same cover and palm rest of G74SX-A2, and faint blue accent lighting inside the mouse. If the mouse is not available, the extra large multitouch trackpad is also good if you can scroll, zoom and rotate with two fingers. Mouse buttons left and right are quiet and gentle, with the same soft-touch coating as the rest of the palm rest.

The 17.3-inch screen is fantastic and shows in a 1920 x 1080 resolution. This high-definition widescreen display is ideal for film, and thanks to Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M graphics card, you will be able to raise the dressing every game you play without missing a pixel. Blu-ray (Blu-ray / DVD + / - RW) drives also means that you can enjoy movies in full 1080p hard drive as well. A combination of THX TruStudio and EAX Advanced HD 5.0 audio creates one of the best sound set-up you'll find on a laptop, with particularly rich bass. The only problem we ran into while testing the laptop were a few whistles speaker very soft, which was more pronounced at high volumes, a problem we found in another model recently tested the line of play Asus G74SX -BBK7 ($ 1,199 list, 3.5 stars).

Whenever you find a laptop uses powerful components like this, things get hot. Asus has addressed this problem with a combination of strategies to maintain the cooling system. Two large openings running along the back of the laptop, with a lot of air in and out, aim and blow air (and accompanying noise) of the user. Two large fans to cool the processor and graphics card, and each operates independently, so that fans are used only when cooling is required. They are also quiet, even during the execution of the test kits that other systems to vibrate and hum of the fans at full speed, the G74SX-A2 remained calm and cool.

At the bottom of the unit, you will see that Asus has gone out of their way to make simple updates to your update panel easy access to the RAM slots and disk. You do not need a jeweler's screwdriver to open this panel, as it is secured by a locking screw that can only be opened with a coin.

Asus G74SX-A2

Characteristic

Journal of games are built for intimidation as much as the performance and functionality of the Asus-A2 G74SX certainly not her. A2-packs G74SX two hard drives: a fast 160 GB Solid State Drive (SSD) and over 750 GB 7200 rpm hard drive spinning. This double drive set up provides better performance in the programs stored on the SSD, but retains the large storage space offered by a traditional hard drive, the AVADirect Clevo X7200 used a similar double disk drive. But the total storage capacity of 910GB is not enough to top the player is 1.5 TB Alienware M17x, but it is bigger than the Asus drive is in G73SW-BST6 ($ 1299.99 list, 3.5 stars), which is equipped with a 750 GB hard drive alone.

The Asus G74SX-A2 offers a variety of ports and connectors on both sides of the laptop. To the right is a Gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI and VGA video outputs and a card reader that supports multiple memory formats (SD, MMC, MS / Pro). A USB 3.0 high-speed data transfer, and USB 2.0 is also available for connecting other devices that do not require 3.0 speed. On the left side, two USB 2.0 ports and a Kensington slot and headphone jacks and a microphone. Internally, the Asus G74SX-A2 is equipped with Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0 (for wireless).

The G74SX-A2 comes with its share of bloatware, and it does not stop with applications such as Microsoft Office 2010 Starter or a 30-day trial of Trend Micro Internet Security titanium. The system also comes preloaded with the Google Chrome browser, Google and Bing toolbars for Internet Explorer and Nuance PDF Reader. In addition, ASUS offers several programs and tools that bears the name Asus, Asus as Web storage, Asus and Vibe Fun Center, which offers a music player, several simple games, and even some language courses.

Performance

The Asus G74SX-A2 is equipped with a quad-core 2 GHz Intel Core i7-2630QM processor. It's the same CPU used in the Republic of Asus players from other systems, such as Asus G73SW-and-G74SX BST6 BBK7, but combined with 16 GB of RAM and a hybrid super fast SSD / 7200 rpm hard turn for faster performance. In our PCMark 7, he scored 3941 points in a big jump after 2569 marked by G74SX-BBK7.

In our Cinebench R11.5 representation, which serves as a benchmark for processor speed, Asus has scored 5.04, matching all gaming laptops in the competition, except for the Alienware M17x, which scored 0.36 higher due to its 2.2 GHz processor and a little faster. He also held its own proof of the creation of media and the handbrake (1:38) and Photoshop CS5 (03:58). Users who want to expand beyond the pure play is that the Asus G74SX-A2 is equipped to handle anything you throw at it.

The real value of G74SX-A2 is, however, the games, and does not disappoint. Equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M GPU (3GB), G74SX-A2 is a lot of muscles flexible. Our point of general reference graphics, 3DMark 2006, was placed in 16 970 points resolution and medium settings, and 12 135 at 1080p and anti-aliasing settings. And 'complementary to the previous Asus gaming platforms, but fell short of Choice Editors' Alienware m17x for (20 097 15 845 medium and high) and a dual-GPU hex-core AVADirect Clevo X7200 (22,559 medium and 19 top 421). Applied real games, the Asus G74SX-A2, went through the test with ease. In Crysis (DirectX 10), is pumped to 81.9 frames per second (fps) in medium and 13.2 frames per second settings up to 1080p. Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 9), Asus G74SX-A2, produced 82.5fps frame rate settings in the medium and native resolution 30.6.

With scores like these, you must be prepared no matter the game you'll play as long as you keep the high-end games on medium settings.

Although most of the platforms of high-performance games will remain connected to an electrical outlet every time you use the Asus G74SX-A2 always provides decent battery life. In our MobileMark 2007 benchmark life of the battery of tests, the G74SX-A2 74Wh 8-cell battery lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes. The unique approach or spend 3 hours spring G73SW BST6 Asus, who managed 3:31 with a 75Wh battery. The Alienware M17x only lasted 2:24 with a huge battery 90Wh AVADirect Clevo X7200 and even one hour (38 minutes) with 78Wh battery. The Asus G74SX-A2 can not lead through a cross-country flight, but survive major gaming platforms over the other party if the LAN is injured with a minor.

Asus G74SX-A2, brings a lot of player-friendly products for the table, and two spacious as a quick installation disc, made-for-gamers keyboard and processor and graphics card, which takes care of everything you want to play the game. Although it is not necessarily involved in the hex-core processor, as found in the AVADirect Clevo X7200, Asus G74SX-A2, however, should satisfy most players, and go a little 'easier on your wallet. If you have an extra $ 254 on hand, Editors Choice 'for the Alienware M17x (Sandy Bridge) offers the best price-performance ratio. Otherwise, the Asus G74SX-BBK7 to pay $ 700 less and offers up the same gaming performance, but it is not possible without sacrificing some of the components of the future.

Soft, brushed aluminum cover that wraps around the BBL5-U56E, just like the Lenovo IdeaPad 1066A9U-V570 ($ 629.99 list, 4 stars) budget laptop seems to not only reduce the fences as they were in the past. Palm support is included, however, a special design feature is seen in most notebook computers: a soft rubber design, just like the m17x Alienware encasing (Sandy Bridge) ($ 2,254 direct, 4.5 stars) and Asus G74SX BBK7-of (1199 $ list, 3, 5-star), the palm rest. Subtle, it feels good, and add a little grip when writing.

If you are looking for a Blu-ray and HD 1080p screen to watch it, so you have to pay a premium for a laptop like the Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839 ($ 1,499.99 Street, 4 stars).

The keyboard is full size and style chiclet. There is also a digital form, but the keys are half size. The multi-function touchpad and multitouch is smooth, pinch zoom and scroll with two fingers was significant. The mouse buttons were a bit steep for my taste, but these things are very subjective, so be sure to try before you buy if you are worried.

Features

At the top of the list of features for U56E-BBL5 is WiMAX, a wireless subscription service available in 4G major metropolitan areas (more than 54 cities). 802.11n Wi-Fi is also available, as well as an Ethernet connector.

LikeCrysis games (DirectX 10) (12.96 fps on medium setting) and Lost Planet 2 (22fps on medium setting, DX9) will not play without a discrete graphics chipset.

Battery life has been phenomenal, some of the best in its class figures I've seen. In our MobileMark 2007 test, the U56E-8-cell74Wh BBL5 the battery lasted 7:34 minutes. The dv6-6013cl HP lasted 5:17 with a 55Wh 6-cell battery and Lenovo-V570-1066A9U of 48Wh 6-cell battery lasts 4:41.

Asus BAL5 U46E

2011-09-27T08:47:00.000-07:00

U46E-BAL5 design alone should generate great interest. Its brushed aluminum lid is not like Asus U41JF-A1 ($ 857 street, 4.5 stars), Samsung QX411-W01 ($ 899.99 list, 3.5 stars), and Toshiba Satellite L745-S4210 (List $ 639.99 3.5 stars). Instead, it uses a tree-ring, which may be felt if you run your fingers through it. This is a bar-shaped extension at its rear, to a certain extent, masks the large battery 74WH (it raises the laptop a bit back). With copper as the color, is undeniably attractive and U46E BAL5 stands out among his peers. It weighs 4.9 pounds, is heavier than the Toshiba L745-S4210 (4.5 pounds), but in line with Samsung QX411-W01 (5.1 pounds), Asus U41JF-A1 (4.9 pounds), and Sony VAIO PCV-EG16FM / W ($ 829.99 list, 4 stars) (5 pounds).

14-inch widescreen display, and its 1366-by-768 are found in most mainstream configurations, but it is a bright, very good viewing angle. Samsung QX411-W01 to use a glass covering the screen that animates your images and videos, richer colors. U46E-BAL5 chiclet keyboard is solid, the individual or the navigation keys do not feel lost when you write. It 'very similar to those of the Samsung QX411-W01, and not so soft (and a deeper answer), the Toshiba L745-S4210. The touchpad is so smooth and easy to navigate, like the Samsung QX411-W01, but the two differ U46E BAL5 a dedicated mouse buttons, which led to a better experience by clicking (integrated in the QX411-W01 is occasionally interrupted the movement cursor).

Asus BAL5 U46E

Features

There are a handful of features to be noted that BAL5-U46E. Two of them is the radio display, 2.0 (Widi 2.0) and WiMax wireless technologies, that Best Buy is highly reinforcing. With Widi 2.0, you can tell what is a laptop flatter, without a physical cable (Think Wireless HDMI). This is the second iteration of the wireless display, which means that the handset is now able to stream 1080p (without choking), and the protected content from a DVD collection. Netgear Push2TV receiver is required and a separate $ 99 buys. WiMAX (wireless or 4G), the image Wi-Fi, which blankets the entire city. There are more than 60 cities that have WiMAX towers erected, including New York and San Francisco, and monthly rates are cheaper than many home DSL packages. Widi 2.0 and WiMAX can also be found in the Samsung and Sony W01 QX411-VPC-EG16FM / W laptop is also a Wi-Fi 802.11n.

750 GB (5400 rpm) hard drive is more than 640 of them are in the VPC-EG16FM L745-S4210 Sony and Toshiba. One of the three USB ports are USB 3.0, transfer of a relatively new technology, which is 10 times the speed of USB 2.0 feature is not found EG16FM VPC-L745-S4210 Sony and Toshiba. DVD burner manages to burn discs and movies on DVD, HDMI, and VGA is available for an external monitor hook-up. A 1.3 megapixel webcam above the screen, and a media card reader that handles most digital camera formats.

Best Buy also has an extended warranty program, which offers customers an additional year of protection beyond the warranty one year most of the system manufacturers. There are two plans in this extended warranty program. The standard diet ($ 119.99) covers the system against wear and tear, power surge damage, and includes a "No Lemon" Guarantee Purchase, where just replace the computer if you need more repairs during the coverage period 4. POINT Best Buy ($ 219.99) offers all this and the system also covers accidental damage from falls and spills. Other special offers can be found online or in stores such as discounts on printers, software and technical support plans are available on any PC consumers new products purchased through Best Buy.

Asus BAL5 U46E

Performance

The components of this laptop is 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 leading-2410M processor and 8 GB of DDR3 memory. It's awesome, because conventional laptops, such as Samsung and Sony W01 QX411-VPC-EG16FM offer the same processor (and less memory) to higher premiums. Of course, the additional memory does not blow the competition in tests of Photoshop CS5 (4 minutes 10 seconds), but for those who use virtualization and run large databases, additional memory will come in very handy. The handbrake-U46E BAL5 of (1:53) and Cinebench R11.5 (2.59) scores are among the best in the race, although the Samsung QX411-W01 (1:59 handbrake on Cinebench 2 , 56) and VPC-EG16FM (2: 05 on the handbrake, Cinebench 2.6 in) no way to much. Gambling, according to our 3DMark 06 (5085), is the only place where his predecessor, the Asus U41JF-A1 (8189), had an overwhelming advantage.

Packing a huge battery 74WH was necessary to counter the effects of drainage i5. While his score of 7 hours 19 minutes on MobileMark 2007 was an hour late as the Samsung QX411-W01 (8:48) and Sony VPC-EF16FM (8:12) is still a lot of battery life-prolonging for a cross-country flight and then some.

Mainstream laptops awards, providing all goods prices are almost unbelievable. U46E-BAL5 Asus is equipped with a powerful Core i5 and maxes out the memory banks, while Easter eggs, such as throwing Widi 2.0, WiMAX, and USB 3.0. It 'also sports a beautiful facade, which is just as important. Want to be difficult to find a better deal than this. As such, it is our choice of new Editors' lapotops mainstream.

ASUS Eee PC 1015b

2011-09-27T08:44:00.000-07:00

The 1015b is part of the ASUS Eee PC "Seashell" series, which does not appear to block the old Eee PC designs. This netbook looks and feels more generic, it is 100% black plastic. The matte finish to the palm rest and lid can be seen, the shiny plastic surrounding the keyboard and the screen is so dirty and scratched easily. Plastic mat is much more durable and easier to clean. 1015b is not the exterior design is characterized by outstanding, not bad looking, but certainly does not win style points.

The 1015b is constructed entirely of plastic. The plastic feels thin and I was able to produce many bells to tap into the palm rest with a fingernail. The fit and finish could use some work, most of the edges where the pieces fit together are rough. In general, the chassis is stable and resistant to bending. The lid of the netbook, on the other hand, it is well done, it bends too easily and the performance by pushing back the waves on the screen. Something shameful is that the screen does not tilt too far, only about 15-20 degrees past vertical.

ASUS Eee PC 1015b

That the update properties, 1015b is a bit 'go to it. The door on the bottom just to keep the starting slot to upgrade RAM hard drive requires a model of the netbook. RAM upgrades are limited because the C-30 processor is a single channel memory controller. Overall the build quality has improved, thicker, softer edges of the plastic would.

ASUS Eee PC 1015b

Ports and Features

The 1015b has a large port respectable for a netbook. HDMI is a notable inclusion. Honestly, the most modern netbooks include the ports so that we are not very impressed with what we see here. All descriptions of the images are from left to right.

ASUS G53SW-A1

2011-09-27T08:40:00.000-07:00

G53SW has substantially reduced the release of ASUS and very popular with the larger 17.3-inch gaming notebook and G73JW G73JH. The portable design mimics the aircraft stealth bomber, especially in the back of the heat vents and recessed angled upward exhaust. G53SW is quite unique, the only notebooks that are likely to receive more attention viewers are the Alienware laptops.

G53SW more tangible surfaces are covered with a rubberized finish feels good and adds to the long-term. The device is notably absent from the shiny plastic. The G53SW is constructed entirely of plastic. The plastic is thick enough and cheap sound when tapped with your fingernail. The chassis is quite rigid, but can be folded around corners. The areas around the structure is solid, but a little cave under pressure.

ASUS G53SW-A1

The cover is secured to the frame with a single large hinge. It 'can open the lid with one hand. The lid bends quite easily, as well as the hinge could support a little 'more, because the screen may move a bit'. I also want to show tilted back. Fit and finish is good, no sharp edges or unfinished. General build quality is above average, the lid could be stronger, but otherwise there is no great concern.

Update G53SW is possible but not easy. Access to RAM and hard drive requires removing the keyboard, palm rest, and various screws, then jump out of the bottom plate. G53SW is actually two hard drive bays, although most configurations only come from a single unit.

ASUS U31SD-A1

2011-09-27T08:38:00.000-07:00

ASUS continues to use a now familiar two-tone silver and black exterior. The U31SD is made of plastic with the exception of the cover, which is aluminum. Plastics are of average quality, not thin enough to qualify as cheap, but not the other way either. The chassis does not have the inner strength, and it twists easily when bent around corners. This curvature allows circuits at risk of cracks in time, if U31SD is amplified when the laptop is likely to be carried around deep.

The aluminum screen again gives a decent protection against the pressure, push in the back cover screen does not give any significant wrinkles on the screen. Aluminum is a nice touch, it would be nice the rest was covered with palm trees, alas, it is only a plastic imitation. Overall the build quality could use a revision to the next iteration of this laptop. For now, the quality is passable, but barely.

ASUS U31SD-A1

Do-it-yourselfer looking to upgrade U31SD find it relatively simple to do, there is a single large access panel on the bottom of the laptop held by a single screw. Under the cover of two slots of RAM, hard drive and wireless card. Only one of the RAM slots are occupied.

Solid colors of suede to ASUS ', which is mixed with a black keyboard is a full-size units, non-scratch brushed aluminum cover. Given that the liberal use of dark colors is very great, if not to treat the electrical system and touch pad buttons with silver.

ASUS K53SV-B1

This machine is a bit more portable than the Dell XPS L502X 15 (Sandy Bridge), which is at least 15 x 10.4 x 1.5 inches and 6.6 pounds with a nine-cell battery. However, HP Pavilion dv6t weighs only 5.8 pounds, and has brushed aluminum cover and finer lines. A 15.1 x 10.1 x 1.4 inches and pounds and 6 K53SV certainly light enough to move from room to room, but nothing for the journey.

Apple IPad (Wi-Fi And 3G)

2011-09-27T08:34:00.000-07:00

In this review, I will focus on the characteristics differentiating the 3G model. For an in depth look at all the features and options IPAD see our original review Apple iPad. And for more information, see our opinion of the iPad the most important as iBooks (free) and iWork ($ 9.99).

The iPad 3G is available in three capacities, each tacking on $ 130 in the same Wi-Fi only version, $ 629 (16GB), $ 729 (32GB) and $ 829 (64GB). The tablet is not locked to AT & T, but is the only U.S. carrier that supports the frequency bands of 3G IPAD. If you take a standard T-Mobile SIM card with an X-Acto knife, which is suitable for micro-SIM slot IPAD, and work, but you have a Wi-Fi + iPhone 2G, and can "t hit the 3G network T-Mobile. Basically, this is a device for AT & T in the U.S. alone

Apple IPad (Wi-Fi And 3G)

Virtually identical to its counterpart only Wi-Fi, 3G iPad looks a lot like a giant iPod Touch ($ 299, 32GB), with the exception of the rear brushed aluminum (the iPod touch is a shiny metal back). 3G model is a strip of black plastic at the top of the rear panel of the antenna to improve the 3G signal, and there is a small hole on the tablet, which issues cards MicroSim. The tablet 3G is slightly heavier, the weight of £ 1.6 (compared to Wi-Fi version is 1.5 pounds).

Apple has not released details on the IPAD A4 1 GHz processor, but several tests we conducted show that it works as an ARM Cortex A8-chip, similar to that used in the iPhone 3G ($ 199, 16 GB). It's only about 30 to 40 percent faster, which is what was expected, the 3G has a chip in the range 600 MHz and runs at 1GHz an iPad.

The energy efficiency of the chip as a result of a battery life Apple rates "up to ten hours," Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi mode, we have a battery life of 9 hours and 25 minutes. 3G modem performance without stopping, streaming video of TV TVU global application, which managed to win 8 hours 5 minutes, still very respectable.

The iPad (WiFi + 3G) begins with 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and adds support for HSDPA 7.2 (850/1900/2100 MHz) and quad-band EDGE on AT & T and foreign networks with assisted GPS.

3G and GPS performance

Setting the iPad 3G network of AT & T is almost effortless, just go to Settings, then cellular data, select a service plan, and enter the details of your credit card. $ 30 unlimited plan to use the service pay the same amount of data you want to pay for the iPhone (which makes sense), but without the cumbersome two-year contract, to cancel or start the service at any time. There is also a no-contract service plan $ 14.99 that gives you a 250MB a month, but beware, it eats up to 250MB very quickly with this device. IPad Settings application allows you to monitor the use of data and warns you when you're short on data, so you can buy more. You can also use the 3G iPad abroad, at a time roaming add-ons, 20 MB of data runs $ 24.99 per month, 50MB is $ 59.99, 100 MB is $ 119.99, and 200 MB is $ 199.99. These prices, you should probably just go find a Wi-Fi hotspots.

IPad 3G managed a little 'faster than the speed of 3G iPhone 3G (199 dollars), side-by-side test using Speedtest.net App With the iPad, I'm an average speed of about 1400 kilobits down and 180 kilobits up, yes, the photos were much slower than download. Both Google Maps and web browsing seems slower than the iPhone 3Gs iPad. The iPad is screen space to do so much more real that the page will take longer to fill in

Many applications work well over 3G. Netflix Movies have been visibly reduced in quality, but watchable. ABC TV was razor sharp, even in a window that covers only half of the screen. TVU player world of television has also been watchable. NPR Pandora and the music played very well. However, AT & T and Apple have restricted or cut the quality of some applications. Joost does not work on 3G. The YouTube videos are low quality seriously reduced. Talk2 Trufone Skype calls and not on 3G, or, so do not think about using your iPhone as a replacement for a smartphone.

IPAD sweeps performance GPS the iPhone 3G. The two are standing still and a moving bus, I got a GPS lock complete fast, and followed my position more clearly on the iPad. Sometimes, the iPhone was a full block behind me while the IPAD was there. If you could understand how to fit this monster in your car, it might be a heck of a navigation system. (Wi-Fi only IPAD, of course, has no GPS, though sometimes it can determine your location based on nearby Wi-Fi hotspots).

A 3G or not 3G?

If you're already sold on the idea of the iPhone, the big question is whether to pay $ 130 more for the 3G version. If you spend much time on trains, or you're a road warrior who is traveling with an iPhone instead of a laptop, 3G model would make more sense for you. Also, if you want to use your Tablet PC for GPS, 3G will version.But most people, the additional cost is difficult to justify unless it can be seen clearly when and where to use 3G in place. Wi-Fi

Once again, the iPad is in your heart, not a mobile device. In fact, when I took to the streets of New York was difficult cradled in the arms and reflective LCD screen is much more difficult to read in bright sunlight the screen of the iPhone. When seated, a real device pocket is much more convenient.

Most of the places you want to use iPad a friend's house, home, office or coffee shop, already has Wi-Fi, or are likely to cover the $ 7.95 a month Boingo Wi-Fi hotspot subscription. Boingo has thousands of hotels, bars, airports and other public places under its authority.

But if you really whipping IPAD see in places where there is Wi-Fi, there are ways to get more flexible online high 3G. Verizon Wireless is running a deal where if you buy a Palm Pre ($ 149.99) can be used as a wireless access point at no extra cost. Given that you still need a smart phone anyway, which makes the Palm Pre and Wi-Fi iPad only an excellent combination. T-Mobile HD2 ($ 199.99), smart phones iPhone connect to the Internet, too.

Mobile routers such as Sprint or Novatel MiFi Overdrive is more expensive than the iPad AT & T subscription, but they can connect up to five units at a time. If you travel with a two iPad, a laptop, this may be the best solution. We review your best options in a recent story about how you use your Wi-Fi iPad with any operator.

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz)

2011-09-27T08:32:00.001-07:00

Back iBook G4 got their start, polycarbonate plastic has been a staple of Apple's notebook line the most affordable. These materials are from the same type of glass used in bullet-proof, hardened to handle its fair share of abuse, but they are attractive and less costly to implement than metals. Aluminum housing, on the other hand, tend to appear in laptops of luxury and upscale as the MacBook Pro 13-inch Asus U30Jc-1A ($ 899 street) and HP Pavilion DM4 ($ 905 direct) . Despite the fact that the plastic is thick and difficult to work as metal MacBook is probably thin (1 cm thick) and weighs only 4.6 pounds, which is roughly the same weight as U30Jc-1A (4 , 7 lbs) and 13-inch MacBook Pro (4.5 kg).

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz)

Despite the 13.3-inch widescreen display is very common these days, the MacBook is one of the few remaining running a resolution of 800 by 1280. Systems like the Asus U30Jc-1A and Dell Inspiron 1464 ($ 670 direct) have similar resolutions 1366 by 768, and are comparable to the MacBook in terms of brightness, clarity and sharpness. MacBook and MacBook Pro 13-inch to use a keyboard Chiclet style, but the MacBook has no backlight on the keyboard, a handy feature when working in dim light. If the typing experience is essential, I think the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 ($ 899 direct) has a Chiclet keyboard better, the Dell Inspiron 14 is the best experience to write with your keyboard.

Apple touchpad click is probably the best in the industry. Although I am a major fan dedicated mouse buttons, the experience of Apple Navigation perfectly executed. The oversized touchpad recognizes up to four fingers, and can easily perform many touch controls, including a new exercise called the roll. Many have tried to imitate the gestures of touch and Apple all have been insufficient. Case in point: HP DM4 had a hard time bouncing cursors and called touch controls that were not invited. The touchpad itself is surprisingly large, but there are still plenty of room to comfortably rest your palms.

Software Features disappointing, Great

The MacBook features are left virtually untouched since the previous version, except for a small improvement: The audio and video streams DisplayPort now (previous version was the only video). For anyone with a MacBook and a digital camera, I feel your frustration. SD card slot, a vital role in the MacBook Pro (13 and 15 inch only) and a laptop with Windows (even a netbook), is again absent from the MacBook.

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz)

The remaining feature set is modest at best, two USB ports, mini DisplayPort, Ethernet and a headphone jack. Even the 250GB hard drive seems low compared to the Asus U30Jc-1A (320) and Dell 1464 (500 GB). MacBook hard drives can be upgraded to a higher capacity, as prices approach a 13-inch MacBook Pro configuration.

When the MacBook does not respond within the features, is definitely the software. No other computer maker make a series of higher quality software, including iLife '09 and Utilities endless. And despite the 1 year warranty is pretty standard, customer service is top rated Apple the company.

Better than the game, the batteries

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 is a minor speed bump from the previous match, can be found in the MacBook and MacBook Pro 13-inch configuration. Not as fast as Intel Core i3 and i5, which are found in almost every other laptop (Core 2 Duo based on the technology last year). We conducted performance tests on both Windows (via Boot Camp) and OS 10.6.1. Video encoding tests, which measure the speed of the processor supports the Asus U30Jc-1A, 1464, Dell and HP DM4. MacBook scored 1 minute 8 seconds behind the Asus U30Jc-1A (50 seconds) and HP the DM4 (47 seconds), a good pace.

Tests such as PCMark Vantage and Cinbench R10 (made in the Mac operating system), which measures overall performance, do not do well either. Besides the processor, the difference can be attributed to the MacBook with less system memory (2 GB) than its competitors (all with 4 GB). And it's hard to find a consumer notebook that ships of less than 4 GB of memory in those days.

Despite his speed was disappointing, the MacBook regained some ground floor courtesy of a new graphics chipset from Nvidia. The GeForce 320M is an integrated chipset, but has more firepower than the discrete 3D card on the Asus and HP-1A U30Jc DM4. In 3DMark06 (5231) and Crysis (26.8 fps), the tests, the MacBook was clearly the best game of the machine through its two competitors. And benefits both HD and Nvidia based graphics chipset you can download some of the work of video decoding from the processor. In other words, HD video at 720p and 1080p look clear varieties, and was completely free of lag and fragments.

Like the MacBook Pro 13-inch MacBook now comes with bigger battery (and the 63.5WH 58WH), and thus increases battery life. Compared to the previous iteration, the battery jumped 4 hours 35 minutes to 7:12 MobileMark 2007 (for Windows-based test). Oddly, the MacBook lasted for more than 13-inch MacBook Pro (5:05), even if they have the same batteries and parts. I also did a video roundup (loop MP4 video file), OS 10.6.1, and reached the same conclusion: The MacBook scored 06:47 this test, OS 10.6.1, the MacBook Pro 13-inch lasted 5: 18 This indicates that the MacBook has a battery back-use efficient than the MacBook Pro 13-unch. I suspect that the plastic is more heat than metal, and an empty memory location is able to play the role of the battery life of the MacBook. Basic Web Surfing MacBook, Apple will take more than 10 hours.

Comparison between the Asus U30Jc-1A, a group of large battery (84WH), with 8 hours of MobileMark 2007.

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz) is for Mac-loving students and general purpose users who do not need the SD card slot, backlit keyboard and design of aluminum MacBook Pro. It's a beautiful machine, only surpassed by one user experience, excellent battery life and Apple's reputation for being a provider of excellent service. Compared to its Windows counterparts, the lack of an SD slot and start with only 2 GB of memory is reason enough to recommend the 13-inch MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz) on the MacBook. That, or go with our editors choice "for the general public category, Asus U30Jc-1A.

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt)

2011-09-27T08:31:00.000-07:00

Design-wise, do not expect a laptop thinner or lighter. The only change in design is the addition of a flash next to the mini-DisplayPort. MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) holds its shape and form wonderful, as all changes are inside. Currently, I do not see the need to change its appearance. It is even thinner, more streamlined notebook in its class, it is by cutting the middle of a thin aluminum foil. It is at least a quarter of an inch thin and about a pound lighter than 5.5 pounds, the Dell XPS 15 ($ 1,115 direct, 4.5 stars) (6.3 lb) and Asus N53JF-XE1 (1015 $ street, 4 stars) (6.3 pounds).

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt)

The MacBook Pro15-inch (Ray) has several options on the screen, all of which require you to pay a significant premium, although I can not think of laptops for many consumers who have anti-glare screen (an option) $ 150 . There are laptops that can be adapted to higher resolutions, however. The XPS 15 and N53JF-XE1, a boat or an optional 1080p display (1920 by 1, 080), the 15-inch MacBook Pro is available with a 1,440 by 900 or 1680 by 1050 display ($ 100). However, with the display options is a luxury that few are willing to offer. The HP Pavilion dv7-4283cl, for example, is only available with a glossy screen and 1600 by 900 pixels.

Chiclet-style keyboard continues the tradition of the MacBook Pro black keys to match the black side of the bezel of the screen. The backlight, which is located between the keys and aluminum base, is invaluable in low light situations. You can also find a backlit keyboard for the XPS-15. Signature Apple ClickPad eclipse all others in terms of size and responsiveness. No other touchpad can recognize two four-finger gestures as precise and fluid as Apple, and the reason is twofold: First, it is made of glass does not wear out over time. Others use acrylic or other less important in their design touchpad. Second, drivers and software coding for the touchpad has created in-house (rather than third-party developers), so that each click, push, or pinch works perfectly.

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt)

What is lightning?

The last time a new relationship with technology leaders as Apple was when it started the FireWire standard. Thunderbolt, I / O with Intel (code name for the Light Peak), is similar to the principle that will improve the speed of transfer to a new level. Technique to live in a mini DisplayPort, both structurally door looks the same as that of the previous MacBook Pro repeats. But when connected to the board with a lightning-speed data transmission can theoretically hit the 10 Gbps. It is about 21 times the speed of USB 2.0 and FireWire 400, FireWire 800 12 times, and twice as USB 3.0.

Thunderbolt port, Apple says it is, essentially taking the channel PCI Express each door and the place goes through the window. And 'how to find a link that takes you directly to the highway five. Originally, Intel has designed the Thunderbolt to work for more than an optical cable, but it has not yet figured out how to power external devices with this method, copper is used instead. You will need a new cable runs Thunderbolt / Mini DisplayPort to an external device. Yes, you can still output to an external monitor or connect to any device for that matter. Apple has demonstrated a RAID server (to make the Promise Technologies) on a laptop, which was then connected to an Apple Cinema Display in a series configuration. Thunderbolt is a bi-directional, which means that you can go two streams at the same time, up to 10 Gbps for each stream.

In practice, for example, you can simultaneously four video streams uncompressed 1080p clips from the RAID server to the laptop (current), and then shown on the big screen at the same time (second line), without delay or distortion. You can only play uncompressed 1080p video through a FireWire port, much less four. During the demonstration of Apple, transfer rates have increased to 5 Gbps of realistic lightning speed, judging by the flow meter Apple had created.

You can also think of the Universal Port Thunderbolt. If a company was to create a hub or adapter Thunderbolt, can serve all types of networking technologies, such as FireWire, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, and Gigabit Ethernet. Remember, all these techniques through a PCI Express at some point. Before you get too excited, however, Thunderbolt devices will not be available for months (those who were exposed were prototypes), and Apple is rumored to have an exclusive on this technology until 2012. So the doubts about his adoption rate is perfectly understandable. Update: Intel has pointed out that there is no exclusive right to Thunderbolt, OEMs are free to take it when they think the right time).

FaceTime HD and features The Usual Suspects

With the new HD Webcam sensor that feeds the video does not look like grainy or stretched grotesquely when you fill the entire screen. The output stream with a resolution of 1280 by 720 (720p), which is about 3 times the resolution of webcam in previous models MacBook Pro. Video chat with FaceTime app via Wi-Fi was free of distortions. MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) is not the only notebook webcam with HD, however. You can find the Dell XPS 15, which has a Skype-certified HD Webcam. Lenovo, Sony and HP has also made a laptop with webcam 720p HD-capable.

Every other port and the castle remains intact from the previous iteration. It has two USB ports, FireWire 800, Gigabit Ethernet port and slot SDXC media. Burning double layer DVDs seem generic, compared to Blu-ray players available on the Dell XPS 15 and HP Pavilion dv7-4283cl ($ 999.99 list, 4 stars). And do not expect to see a Blu-ray in a Mac laptop soon, as a way to Apple so far refuses to take. This configuration of vessels with a 750 GB hard drive running at 5400rpm, Dell XPS 15 and HP dv7-4283cl come with 7200rpm drive faster. MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) offers SSDs as well, 128 GB ($ 100), capacity 256 GB ($ 500) and 512GB ($ 1,100).

Massive component overhaul

With the second generation of Intel architecture core, it is not only a brain transplant, where you replace one processor to another, it is a multi-body makeover. For the first time in history, the MacBook Pro, MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) is equipped with a quad-core processor, an Intel Core i7 2.2GHz 2720QM (earlier models had dual-core processors). The two additional cores play a crucial role in multithreaded tasks like those found in professional video and photo editing packages (think Final Cut Pro and Adobe products). Modern architecture, the memory is also faster speeds (up to 1333 MHz), but the ability is still 4 GB to start, 8GB ($ 200) maximum.

In our indicator PCMark Vantage test the overall performance of 15-inch MacBook Pro received 8315 (Windows 7 Home Premium via Bootcamp), higher than the Asus N53SV-A1 (7257), which has a second generation i7 2 GHz CPU Intel Core 2630QM and 4 GB of memory (stay tuned for our review) .. The 15-inch MacBook Pro (Ray) Handbrake has finished testing a single-threaded transcoding video, 1 minute 53 seconds, well ahead of the Asus N53SV-A1 (2:06). Overwrites the previous 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro (Core i5), particularly in Cinebench 11.5 (5.07) and the handbrake (1:53) tests in which profits have doubled. It's not even fair to compare 15-inch MacBook Pro (ray) for Dell XPS 15, Asus and HP-XE1 N53JF dv7-4283cl, and the other three in execution of the previous generation of Intel parts. Suffice to say it was a slaughter, but I think to be the first with new technology in our lab bench has its advantages.

One of the most unexpected change is the graphics. Apple has long been a proponent of Nvidia laptop on the side, even if she used the ATI (now AMD) graphics chips in the past. But the company estimates that AMD Radeon 6750M is a better 3D chip, and the figures confirm the performance. For the first time a MacBook Pro broke the 10,000 mark in 3DMark06 points (he scored 10.878), ahead of Asus N53SV-A1 (10 073) and Nvidia GeForce 540 GPU. MacBook Pro15-inch (Thunderbolt) blew from Dell Inspiron 15 (8174) and HP dv7-4283cl (4723) in the same test, even though Dell Inspiron 15 is updated with a new chip from Nvidia, as we speak. At high quality settings, was popular game titles such as Crysis (18.8 frames per second) and Lost Planet 2 (30.8 fps) definitely playable, when I found out by running them in Windows 7 via Boot Camp.

Apple has found a way to link their automatic graphics (AGS) of AMD graphics chip, while still running Windows laptops to perform the operation manually using the software. The switch, as the previous iteration, is performed automatically by recognition applications or tasks require heavy graphics chips. So an external monitor, run 3D games or HD video transcoding to a defect in AMD Radeon 6750M, while the basic tasks (email, web browsing, etc) default to the HD 3000 integrated graphics from Intel. Apple also allow the strength of the laptop to run on AMD graphics, done by the system preferences.

Although the size of the battery has not changed and the inmates are more energy efficient than the previous platform, the 15-inch MacBook (Ray) has improved its score on MobileMark 2007 battery life (running on Windows via Bootcamp ) 4 hours 40 minutes (3 hours, 21 minutes in the previous version). Needless to say, the power management and battery optimization are better in tune with the Mac OS 10 on Windows 7, which also completed an MP4 video file on the OS 10 and the battery is dead. The 15 inches that lasted 6 hours and 43 minutes in the event. Either Windows 7 or Mac OS 10, who survived the Dell XPS 15 (3:48 on MobileMark 2007) and Asus N53JF-XE1 (3:15).

Final Thoughts

Now I realize that it is still early in the game, when dozens of laptops will eventually get on my bench with the second generation of Intel chips and graphics chips as powerful as those found in the new laptops from Apple. As it is now, but Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) is the fastest laptop fastest shipping and so far (you can walk into the Apple Store and buy one as we speak) and c ' is all thanks to a glitch that prevented Intel any other manufacturer of shipping their new laptops on time. Apple has assured me that this parasite will not affect any of the MacBook Pro because they all use the new chipset from Intel and insensitive.

What's new Intel architecture, this happens once a year if not more, and Apple has an important part of it. Since the clock speed of the full range of performance tests have been mind-blowingly fast, because it was the frame rate of graphics that came a renewed partnership with AMD. Although the Thunderbolt is still very early in the third phase of the support, it is a new technology that Apple has struggled away from everyone else. Add to FaceTime HD Webcam and Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) is a technical tour de force.
