IVB of the i7 quad-core CPU ASUS N56VM laptop evaluation

May 7th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

According to Moore’s Law, the integration density of electronic chips every 18 months will be doubled, so basically every year and a half of electronic products will upgrade generation. Among the upgrading of the computer is especially even more speed, you know this time last year, Intel has just released its latest SNB platform processor and a year later, Intel and we brought it The next-generation the IVB platform of processors, and better performance than the SNB platform.

Today we bring a equipped with the latest the IVB platform processor laptop – Asus N56VM It is equipped with Intel Core i7-3610QM processor (clocked at 2.30GHz), the GT630M separate graphics card (2GB memory) as well as HD4000 integrated graphics, 6GB DDR3 memory, 750GB mechanical hard drive. Xiaobian through it to find out more about Ivy Bridge processor.

A surface of the the ASUS N56VM black brushed metal, metal anodizing coloring process, it is very durable, easily wipe off fingerprints children and perspiration stains with water, but in the high-precision camera lenses, those that mark is still very evident the existence of the above, Xiaobian deep feelings. This machine and before the series is not the same thing is it’s A side Logo, side A for ASUS ASUS N56VM Logo boot automatically lit, and it does not have a separate LED lights, but with the integration of the screen when The screen lights up when it will be lit at the same time, in the dark luminous the Logo is very eye-catching, and very beautiful.

ASUS N56VM still continues the tradition of the Asus N series video of this, 15.6-inch Full HD LED-backlit display, the best resolution of 1920 × 1080, the benefits of the matte screen is in the outdoors can reduce the grainy screen, to improve display effect. The top of the screen is still all the books of the standard – front camera.

15.6-inch notebook are affectionately known as “bricks and mortar,” This is not no reason, big, stupid, heavy, basically covering all the basic characteristics of large-size notebook. The testing room to bring the ASUS N56VM on this issue very seriously, but also made a corresponding change in thickness, the thickness of 35mm above the 15.6-inch notebook everywhere, and even some 14-inch notebook achieve such a thickness of the ASUS N56VM thick only about 30mm, front-end is 10mm, basically N56VM reached an extreme of 15.6 inches notebook.

From a weight point of view, the ASUS N56VM the whole weight 2.730kg, travel weight is 3.455kg, compared with the average 15.6-inch notebook, this weight is not dominant, but also a bit heavier, but you can disclose, the ASUS N56VM is there such a weight, because it contains “material”, and then we look down.

Basically, we understand from just the appearance of introduction The ASUS N56VM is what kind of design, then we look at it which interfaces can be used where set. Of N56VM of front-end and back-end are relatively simple, and only in the design of the bottom of the front left side more than one card reader, this setting is also very user-friendly, but this convenience a prerequisite is that you use N56VM period of time, or previous you must include the body lift can smooth the SD inserted.

Then we look at the ASUS N56VM interface is the most abundant of the “area”, the left side of the fuselage has a 2.5mm subwoofer interface, VGA, RJ45, the HDMI and two USB3.0 interface, and in the right side of the fuselage headset microphone jacks, two USB3.0 interface, as well as Blu-ray. Observant friend found the ASUS N56VM not set up traditional USB 2.0 interface, replaced by a four USB3.0 interface, from the point of view of transferring files, this is definitely a good, it can be to USB2.0 10 times the speed of transmission, and save a lot of time.

From the chart we can see the ASUS N56VM the keypad and palm rest is pretty neat, the top does not specifically set shortcut keys, but the convergence on the F1-F12 function keys to ensure the integrity of the keyboard area, while the bottom of the palm rest position does not have any stickers. N56VM for full-size chocolate keyboard design, buttons, key-way medium, good elasticity However, because the end of the palm rest does not use rounded corners, so will feel after a long time typing wrist a little uncomfortable.

More and more widely used in notebook computers, indoor and outdoor, bright and dark environments, needs The ASUS N56VM laptops with backlit keyboard design, to ensure the use of the user in the dark, bring a full range of applications. Users can also use the FN + F3 or F4 keys to adjust the keyboard backlight brightness according to their needs. ASUS light at night to use the ASUS N56VM backlit keyboard with side A Logo is very beautiful.

ASUS N56VM trackpad made of glass fiber reinforced plastic material, the high intensity of the FRP, a close look at the middle of the touchpad can be found, from the inside out spiral lines, and there are laser effects, touch pad area with your fingers feels feel with subtle ground glass, reinstall the finished system, use the touch pad, and often have the effect of the offset, but if that comes with the touchpad driver installed, no there will be such a problem.

ASUS N56VM notebook computer audio enthusiasts can meet the desire for excellent sound quality, ASUS exclusive vocal master SonicMaster jointly developed by the world’s top audio brand Bang & Olufsen ICEpower technology, as well as bundled the SonicMaster external subwoofer and a Bang & Olufsen ICEpower certified speaker from the actual experience can clearly feel Asus N56VM the acoustics are far better than the general external speakers better be excellent for those who did not strengthen the speaker notebook, if it is used in relatively small range of space words would be better.

External subwoofer is not a decoration, the bass is to strengthen the architecture, broadband is the sound difference is more clear from the principle, the subwoofer and speakers are exactly the same, but the greater the diameter of the diaphragm, and an increase for the resonance of the speaker. It can make the music more shocking, so you have a sense of immersive, but of pop music in general, or do not use the subwoofer.

The ultimate audio-visual experience to N56VM won many points, innovation USB port charging design gave it a gorgeous color, ASUS N56VM equipped with the USB the Charger + function, it can be faster, more efficient on the road USB mobile device charger, without an adapter adapter. In addition, it supports mobile devices fast charge mode, even cut off the power turned off, dormant, in any place and at any time can be as mobile phones, MP3 players, tablet PCs and other USB devices charge. To pay attention when using this feature after the installation of the USB charger + drive must be in the BIOS to the USB charger + functionality to open, otherwise it is not to shut down the charge.

Appearance, configuration, prices are often a major factor for people to consider a notebook, this small series is also very much agree with, but with the rapid development of the notebook, there are more and more people concerned about the cooling of the notebook with life problems, which gradually key factor in the mutiny a notebook excellent.

The thermal testing the software used for the FurMark Kaoji software, on the map and the following diagram is run FurMark 20 minutes after the results of the full load condition, the palm rest part of the temperature control from the thermal point of view of the keypad quite good, only 33 degrees Celsius, the touchpad part of the temperature reached 36 degrees Celsius, while the keyboard in the central and the left side of the location of thermal windows, heat large, are up more than 40 degrees Celsius, will feel some burning sensation when in actual use. toshiba pa3634u-1bas

Next look at N56VM back cooling results from the previous figure can obviously see, of N56VM of back temperature distribution and keyboard district cooling is basically the same, the same Central reached above 40 degrees Celsius, while the part of the temperature of the thermal windows reached 60 degrees Celsius. However, the above test results are the ultimate test is really a continuous five or six hours are used to play a large eat graphics of the game, then I think which laptop dare not own heat.

Many of my friends are very concerned about the internal core temperature of the thermal testing in the end is how much it can get an answer from the image above, because the thermal testing for the graphics card, graphics card temperature reached 91 degrees Celsius, and the CPU core temperature up to 83 degrees Celsius, this notebook to play games while you can, but for a long time to play is not a best choice, this is not the only N56VM for all laptop have this problem.

ASUS N56VM equipped with a 5200 mA cell lithium battery 56Wh6, after using MobileMark2007 test gives 191 minutes of battery life, equivalent to down about a little more than three hours, the life time of a general level.

Reference Price unknown

Ivy Bridge with 22-nm 3D transistor technology benefits:

(1) increase the number of transistors per unit area:

The number of transistors by the SNB 1.16 billion to 1.4 billion, more the number of transistors, the current passing through the greater. Transistor open high-performance load by as much as possible of the current; transistor open a saving state may be current drops to almost zero, and quickly switch between the two states, the strong signal processor capacity, and reduce unnecessary loss.

(2) significantly improve the efficiency of power supply, reducing energy consumption:

Ivy Bridge 3D transistors and Sandy Bridge 2D transistors compared to provide the same performance, reduce power consumption by 50%; at the same voltage, the performance improvement of 37%.

The newly introduced: the third generation of HKMG technology 22nm technology, DX11, OpenCL 1.1 graphics core and a new generation of video transcoding engine, enhanced AVX instruction set, dual-channel DDR3-1600 memory controller, native support of USB 3.0, PCI-E 3.0 controller. Thermal-power design, part of the quad-core products 35W (X46F equipped with the i7-3612QM that is), to fill the vacancy of the SNB.

Ivy Bridge, core graphics card using 22nm process technology, which makes more transistors can be squeezed in a small chip to enhance nuclear remarkable performance; a new generation of HD Graphics 4000/2500 Nuclear significant increase in the EU programmable unit, resulting in a more strong 3D performance and game performance; Finally, start from the Ivy Bridge, the core graphics card supports native three separate shows.

HD 4000 Core Graphics also support OpenCL 1.1, for general purpose computing has become possible.

Another major improvement in IvyBridge is to increase support for PCI-E 3.0, in fact, this era SandyBridge appeared, but this was the first application on a mobile platform. As a result the vast majority of PCI-E slot by the CPU on the motherboard directly connected, reducing the transition of the memory and chipset, lower latency, response time is shorter, the performance should also enhance.

Unchanged: PPGA988 slot type (IVB can be used in the 6 Series motherboard, the corresponding SNB also can be used in the 7 series on the motherboard), the Turbo Boost 2.0 dynamic acceleration technology. Thermal power design, the standard voltage, dual-core or 35W Quad-Core 45W; low-voltage version for 17W.

Sandy Bridge, Ivy, Bridge, still use the CPU + a PCH dual-chip design, while the CPU is still the integrated I / A core, Core Graphics, media processing and display engine, the memory controller, PCI-E controller, ring to Unicom bus and shared LLC (Last Level Cache).

3DMark 06 is the most classic DX9.0 graphics performance test software in the mobile platform has been in use this software because of its wide range of applications of media and IT practitioners, with a strong horizontal reference value. Do not feel 3Dmark06 seems to be very old, this software supports DX9.0 is still the mainstream features of our daily graphics applications and games. Let’s take a look at the results of new IVB processor DX9.0 features to enhance the proportion of Beyond the previous generations SNB platform i7 2720QM processor quad-core processors in the new IVB i7 3610QM 31.4% to reach 5995 points, but the SNB processor tests the default resolution is 1280 × 768, while the the IVB platform processors this test resolution 1280 × 1024, in the same resolution, the test results should be able to about 40% higher than HD4000 graphics to enhance the degree is evident.

ASUS N56VM comes GT630M discrete graphics memory 2GB, although your 6 series graphics card, but its actual performance, it can not be compared GT650M Kepler graphics, 3Dmark default resolution run into 9511, but compared to the previous generation of GT540M graphics card slightly more astute, but not too much, if you are 1280 × 768 resolution, GT630M the run should be able to reach an extremely

3DMARK 06 score comparison
Graphics model reference scores
The NVIDIA GeForce 610M 5736
NVIDIA GeForce GT520M 5994
NVIDIA GeForce GT540M 8768
NVIDIA GeForce GT630M 9511
AMD Redeon HD 6470M 4223
AMD Redeon HD 6630M 7113
AMD Redeon HD 6650M 8045
AMD Redeon HD 7470M 4159
intel of HD the Graphics 3000 4346
intel of HD the Graphics 4000 5 995

Can see that the HD4000 graphics score and GT520M GF610M is basically the same. HD6470M, HD7470M this alone significantly was completely throw off. HD3000 core graphics compared to the previous generation, the rise is about 38%, which can be said that the core graphics card has been successful beyond the entry-level alone significantly and is close to the mid-range discrete graphics. Such a strong running sub-entry-level AMD / NVIDIA is the only significant product status is very embarrassing. Can be expected mid-AMD and NIVIDIA, entry-level graphics card threshold of the year there will be a certain upgrade, like this entry-level alone significantly GF610M and the HD 7470M was also the inevitable result of the phase-out of the mainstream market.

Comparison of results from the the 3Dmark evaluation results, the the ASUS N56VM game performance can be a high-end level, StarCraft 2 and Need for Speed ​​13 can-take-all, the 3D online game of World of Warcraft this is no problem, but for graphics higher requirements for stand-alone game, N56VM incompetent, but in general the ASUS N56VM gamers can fully satisfy.

CineBench is a use for film and television industry, Cinema 4D special effects software engine, you can test the CPU and graphics performance. The main concern in the daily testing of the CPU processing section. The test is divided into two: first test simply use the CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene images in a single-processor single-threaded run only once, if the system has more than one processor core or multi-threading, the first to use only one thread, the second run all the processor cores and threads.

The next test, we adopt the way of contrast, the First CineBench ASUS N56VM with IVB platform Core i7 3610QM compared with the previous generation the SNB platforms Cor i7 2720QM processor from single-threaded and full load terms of contrast score results, IVB of the i7 quad-core platform than the SNB platform i7 quad-core performance increase of about 45% -50%.

PCMark Vantage provides a more easy-to-use one-button testing capabilities and the desktop, mobile, and workstation platforms, unified test scripts, test software based on Windows system. PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC’s overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment systems to notebooks, professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether it is in the hands of the professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, system performance can understand through the PCMark Vantage test content can be divided into the processor test, graphical test. The hard drive test.

ASUS N56VM PCMark Vantage score of 8904, about 24% higher than the SNB platform 2720QM quad-core processors 7172, from another point of view, whether it is office, audio, video or game level, IVB platform processors than SNB platforms to enhance.

SYSMark Series software is a computer to come through in the true, the application of appropriate software and simulate the real user on the computer’s operating performance data. It can use the scientific method will be a wide range of findings attributed to the application of a model, and combined with the concept of a variety of test software to evaluate the performance of a system. SYSMark the test results show that the new Ivy is very effective to enhance overall performance and enhance the performance of the whole platform, Core i7 3610QM about 15%. asus s6 battery

Summary

N56VM we get ASUS notebook with Ivb bridge processor i7 – 3610QM processor compared with the previous generations SNB i7 2720QM processor, has significantly improved the performance, the performance of the HD4000 set beyond the GT520M office or entertainment N56VM can handy, ASUS exclusive vocal master SonicMaster technology jointly developed by the world’s top audio brand Bang & Olufsen ICEpower and the accompanying subwoofer, N56VM can make you feel very good audio and visual effects.

Up from the appearance of the ASUS of N56VM black metal wire drawing the surface is quite atmospheric, but also durable, light-emitting Logo accompanied by a full-size backlit keyboard in the dark do not have a taste. N56VM interface settings is quite complete, four USB3.0 interface allows users to transfer files to exceed 10 times the speed of USB 2.0. ASUS N56VM generally equipped with IVB processor performance is good, just do not know the price of geometry, waiting for ASUS to give us a pleasant surprise. asus ux50 battery

Beats sound +2 GB significant independence – HP Pavilion dv4 laptop evaluation

April 25th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

Pavilion series is HP’s first consumer notebook, the main face of the high-end home users, each small family of products has its own distinctive features, so the entire series was dubbed “the audio and video home entertainment in general”. Today, our protagonist is dv4.

2012 Pavilion dv4 a new look, new mold, as well as new designs, a great breakthrough in ease of use, hardware performance and sensory appeal: equipped with 2GB of video memory, the NVIDA GeForce GT 630M graphics card, using Beats magic of high-end sound system, and built a variety of humane caring procedures below, please follow the author’s text it to do a comprehensive analysis.

HP dv4: hardware parameters

HP Pavilion dv4-5006tx hardware configuration
Processor Intel Core i3-2350M clocked at 2.30GHz
Memory 4GB 1333MHz (single)
Graphics the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card (2GB DDR3) + Intel HD 3000

Battery 62Wh
The weight of the whole weight of 2.233kg Travel Weight 2.776kg
64 pre-installed system, Windows 7 Home Basic Edition
The official price of 5999 yuan

In addition to the Beats magic sound system, Hewlett-Packard new dv4 hardware some progress, equipped with 2GB memory, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M discrete graphics and Core i3-2350M processor, balanced with the smooth operation of the current mainstream 3D game, while the large capacity hard disk of 750GB is the icing on the cake, no amount of multimedia data can also be easily saved just slightly higher than the price of 5999 yuan.

A new HP dv4: the appearance of the process

HP has made significant changes in appearance in the new dv4, roof similar to the color gradient in the ink in the design process, a prominent three-dimensional with the appropriate from black to red color transition, at first glance, people feel good.

Its roof still Imprint Printing manufacturing processes, exquisite workmanship, smooth surface, let Kam figure, of course, can not avoid the intrusion of the fingerprints, perspiration, the user needs regular cleaning daily use.

————————————————– ———————————-

What is Imprint Printing?

HP Imprint technique, a mold coating technology, add a layer of transparent coating the surface of the molded products, coating the inner layer can also design embossed pattern, texture pattern inlaid in the notebook casing and the upper paint to form a nice layer of protection. Not only has good visual effects, and can play the role of anti-wear, anti-fouling.

————————————————– ———————————-

HP dv4 front of the fuselage with a pleasant semi-circular corner, excessive back-end more tough polygon then the body element. At the same time, the HP Logo hide this, neither undermine the aesthetic of the body, yet is a good embellishment.

Since the touchpad in the C surface, the concave design, all the front of the fuselage “vacancy” has become a device that allows users with one hand to open the top cover.

HP dv4: portability

In any case, the HP dv4 or a traditional 14-inch notebook, so in terms of volume control are bland, slightly heavier weight of the whole quite satisfactory portability. hp pavilion dv6 battery 

2 new HP dv4: operation of feelings

14-inch laptop with most of the consumer market, the HP dv4 screen resolution of 1366 x 768 BrightView technology to enhance the brightness, watching movies or viewing pictures to bring more bright colors.

HP dv4 with TrueVision HD camera, the best state in any light, has emerged as a portrait, whether it is high-definition video calls or self-timer picture will get better results.

Also designed around the screen border, circle the strip of rubber material, the purpose is to ensure that the screen does not squeeze the C surface, and at the same buffer to outside pressure, from notebooks to form a comprehensive protection.

HP dv4 the C surface color change and the roof echoes, and the same process to create Imprint Printing, impeccable in appearance, but the actual use has become a fingerprint collector.

The keyboard is still maintained before the island-style design gives the feel is soft and the key process shorter, but the matte-style button design will earn back some points for it.

HP dv4′s touch pad return to the split design, the matte surface of the design so that the routine operation a lot of comfort in the multi-touch, change a small area will bring trouble. In addition, it still retains the double-click the upper left corner of the touchpad, “square” logo switch touchpad functions.

To use the touchpad to smooth sliding, precise positioning, but a little right in the palm rest on the design Lueqian consider, in the hands using the keyboard, palm in contact with the touchpad, causing the pointer elegant condition, although you can turn off the touchpad is very inconvenient, but in the case of no external mouse available.

3 new HP dv4: Beats magic sound

————————————————– ———————————-

What Beats sound?

First, the Beats by the famous American musician Jimmy Iovine and Super Rap singer Dr. Dre joint development. Beats Audio system by HP and Beats by Dr. Dre joint development, and will be used in a series of models of the HP Pavilion and Envy, which is a unique high-performance technology system to provide users with more good sound to enjoy.

————————————————– ———————————-

HP dv4 provided a total of three speakers, two C-side above the keyboard distribution, these two range units have a special pronunciation holes, lossless audio transmission, music from the front occupied the ears. In addition, a three-heavy woofer hidden in the bottom of the fuselage, so that the entire chassis is like a big bass cabinet provides ample space to spread the sound.

Beat audio control panel open, studio-like interface of the tuner, the operating people at a glance, with four high-quality speaker is backed up, users can easily tune out some truly the audio effects.

HP dv4: interface layout

Interfaces, the HP dv4 still maintain ease of use, and upgrade with the two USB 3.0 interface. With the the Beas magic sound, HP redesigned headphone jack, non-metallic components, and built a split headphone amplifier to reduce the sound crosstalk, effectively remove the noise. HP Pavilion DM4 battery

The right side of the fuselage of the interface layout is more crowded, VGA and HDMI can only choose one, but considering the HP dv4 does not support the three-screen output, so this design is excusable.

More and more PC makers to gradually cut the body of the light, but HP dv4 but still maintain a traditional design a more important status indicator in the machine side of the trunk side, of course, their position is more embarrassing, the user is viewing must be sideways, a little inconvenience.

HP’s new dv4 equipped with a 6 cell battery, and a capacity of 62Wh for 5.5 hours, according to HP officials said the continuous use in HP dv4 Note: Because the unit can not completely new installation system causes Mobilemark2007 endurance test. User to buy this machine should pay attention to this point, a new installation “installation can not continue” may appear, it is recommended to use the official backup system to recover.

4 new HP dv4: performance and cooling

HP dv4 with the Intel Core i3-2350M standard voltage processor, its clocked at 2.30GHz, 3MB L3 cache, with 4GB of memory, to meet the daily heavy computing tasks are no problem. Aspects of GPU, 2GB DDR3 memory NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M is also relatively balanced, it can run smoothly in higher quality, the current large-scale 3D games.

Modern warfare Modern Warfare 2 “sequel, this will be revealed the whereabouts and secret of the” Modern Warfare “series protagonist. New roles, new technology and cold weapons, even more massive battle scenes, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″ will lead the players to experience more realistic modern warfare. The state of higher quality, 1366 x 768 resolution, the new HP dv4 can remain smooth.

“Resident Evil 5″ test results are still very satisfied with the course of the game, the screen is very smooth, with an average score of 58 or so.

The heat is good or bad already is the evaluation of a notebook good or not to measure the standards, increase the area of ​​the thermal module to speed up the fan speed can be regarded as a good thermal solution, but the face of the cooling performance of the now available in a draw, we Look forward to more intelligent, more carefully designed method.

CoolSense is a smart technology, it is a complete solution, first in the body using the thermal conductivity of the material more, followed by active mobile motherboard original, so that the main heating element to a more focused, more conducive to heat concentrated discharge, and finally combination of hardware and software, smart sensing the user’s use of the environment, self-regulating power mode.

New hp pavilion dv4 battery   built-in accelerometer sensor chip, it can determine the user’s environment in a timely manner, such as the knee, will produce jitter, rely on the sensor chip, New HP dv4 will respond to appropriate, to reduce the CPU frequency, and speed up the fan speed to the user one of the most comfortable leg trip.

Environment of 25 degrees Celsius, running in FurMark 20 minutes, the temperature control performance of the HP dv4 the C face, D surface with reference to the above two plans. Most areas of the body to maintain body temperature about the heating region is still around on the CPU and GPU, in general, the HP dv4 cooling capacity is relatively good.

summary

HP dv4 positioning and entertainment, up designed specifically for urban fashion, not just the mold and configuration changes, Beats audio, join a variety of easy-to-use design of the upgrade Aspect. The dynamic lines dotted with ink-like shell gives a beautiful feeling, Beats sound, and more to determine the positioning of its entertainment pioneer. In addition, the relatively balanced hardware configuration allowed ease of handling everyday entertainment applications, of course, we also look forward to its price can gradually and reasonable.

I5 processors with AMD alone significantly HD7670M equipped with 750G large-capacity hard drive is a distinctive place, I believe that like to play the game masterpiece and collection of the users of a variety of movies, a great yearning. Because today’s hard disk price is really too expensive.

Toshiba M805 overall appearance

Toshiba Satellite M805-T01C A surface with a glossy materials and design, it is bright and transparent. This model is a frenzy of gold, 6 colors and feel of a metal style, this color is more suitable for men users to choose. toshiba satellite m300 battery 

M805 there are a variety of Bright color choices it is characterized by high-handed powder, sharp blue fanatical gold, Wild Rose, the sounds of nature black, snow white crystal in six colors to cater to different aesthetic of the consumer population.

Toshiba M805 A-side with the NCVM plating technology, so that the whole side A sense of more metal, and this technology is more wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

————————————————– ———————————-

What is NCVM?

NCVM is plated out of metal and insulating compounds, film, using the discontinuous characteristics of each phase, the final appearance of the metallic finish and does not affect the wireless communication transmission effect. Finally, UV coatings and coating layer, the ultimate guarantee of the product’s physical properties and weather resistance.

————————————————– ———————————-

Screen, the use of 14-inch LED-backlit glossy screen resolution of 1366×768. The machine uses the Intel Core i5-2450M (2.5GHz/L3 3M), Intel HD3000 nuclear remarkable AMD HD7670M alone significantly, 750G mechanical hard drive (5400 rpm), 4GB of memory hardware configuration. Windows 7 Home Basic system.

Toshiba M805 stylish and beautiful, but still belongs to a traditional 14-inch notebook, the length and width dimensions (34cm x 23.2cm), thickness (28mm), Weight (machine 2 kg, travel 2.5 kg), so the overall not frivolous, or in the general portability.

Toshiba M805 details to explain

The right side of the Toshiba M805 outlet in the front of the machine, so, an external mouse to use the hot air out of hand will inevitably feel less cool. Of course, the winter to warm, the left hand using the mouse exception.

Interface, the Toshiba M805 interface configuration, HDMI, VGA, USB 3.0 and so complete, but USB is the total of three, I can last four or even more better.

We test the interface space, the layout of the fuselage on the right and left side of the relatively well-off, then plug in all the lines also did not get into, very good.

C surface design, in addition to the keyboard and speakers, and are based on the mirror material design, part of the paint surface outside the area of ​​the keyboard, wrist rest part of the the NCVM mentioned before plating technology, so the entire C surface appear bright , especially under the lights. However, the drawback is quite easy to leave fingerprints. toshiba pa3780u-1brs

The keyboard uses the most laptop use chocolate keyboard design, the keyboard feels soft, but the noise is relatively not so great.

The trackpad is also the NCVM plating technology, but it does not coated, because the increase of the coating will affect the entire touch, more vulnerable to interference of hand sweat. Today, touch smooth, and ability of certain anti-hand sweat.

Toshiba’s standard 6-cell battery capacity is 4200mAh, battery configuration, but there are significant independence, endurance should not be too strong.

Toshiba M805 Performance Test

(1) hardware parameters

In the era of homogenization of the product appearance, Toshiba M805 has flashed the “killer”, I believe up to six colors, it must control the appearance of their choice. Of course, the virtual chart is not a good-looking but also easy to use is king! Easy to use refers to the configuration to keep the pace with the times, a variety of applications easy to get what people want.

The notebook of the “brain”, the Toshiba Salallite M805 Intel Core i5-2450M, it is an upgraded version of the early Intel Core i5-2410M, speeds up to 2.5GHz, Turbo can accelerate to reach 3.1GHz. Aircraft positioned as a family entertainment, so that this high frequency i5 core is absolutely more than enough.

Test processor performance, we chose CineBench R10 software, the software used for film and television industry developed Cinema 4D special effects software engine, you can test the CPU performance. The first test simply using the CPU rendering a high-precision 3D scene images in a single-processor single-threaded run time, if the system has more than one processor core or multi-threading, for the first time using only one thread, the second runs all the processor cores and threads.

Intel Core i5-2450M this processor on many machines, so the results may be more familiar with. Compared to the Intel Core i3-2350M (clocked at 2.3GHz) 3792,8313 points in terms of this i5-2450M performance to about 24% higher.

2.CPU performance tests

Cinebench R10 is to support multi-core multi-threaded processor, the more the number of cores, the more the number of threads, the results will be better. CPU per execution of a program need to perform a large number of floating-point budget (basic arithmetic), so the floating point capability, the stronger, the faster the computer. This score proved i5 performance to meet the day-to-day most of the office and entertainment needs.

3 game test

AMD Radeon HD 7670M for the 40nm process with 480 stream processors, support for DirectX 11, memory frequency of 900MHz. 3Dmark06 test scores around 7600 points, performance is slightly better than AMD the Radeon 6630M, slightly inferior to the AMD Radeon HD 6650M and NVIDIA Geforce GT540M. This machine can play the game belongs to the high-end. Can run smoothly “Resident Evil 5 level game.

In addition to the processor and graphics card, Toshiba M805 also comes standard with 4GB of memory and 750GB hard drive, to ensure a balanced overall performance. Regarded as a 750GB hard drive on the notebook’s high with the advantage of large capacity Needless to say, movies, games all have come. Today, more and more people took aim at the solid-state drives, but at this stage solid-state hard drive, the price is still slightly higher, popularity of solid state drives, notebook overall performance Jiangzai of a grade. toshiba pa3399u-1brs

3 endurance test

The highest state of the brightness of the screen, the Toshiba M805 comes standard with the 4200 mA 6-cell lithium-ion battery, battery life is 211 minutes, about three and a half hours is not long. It is 14 inches fuselage, so in most cases should still be common with power home, so three and a half hours of battery life is still acceptable.

Summary

Toshiba Salallite M805 is Toshiba’s current flagship of home entertainment products, the machine has six kinds of stylish and brilliant colors, some bright spots in the current appearance of the homogenization of serious cases, I believe that the appearance of control will appreciate. Hardware parameters, the Toshiba M805, Intel Core i5-2450M and AMD Radeon HD 7670M combination, coupled with 4GB memory and 750GB hard drive, good overall performance of the aircraft. Toshiba M805, of course, there are some flaws: the design of the outlet to the right side of the fuselage, due to the external mouse activity areas, and hot air outlet is bound to affect the user’s operating experience, which is not user-friendly design for the machine, pull-apart a lot.

Fujitsu Two Ultrabook the first evaluating

April 15th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

IDF2012 (Intel Developer Forum), held yesterday, the entire show in the ultrabook, has been low-key Fujitsu became the focus of media attention. Foreign media have been Fujitsu ultra-pole of this news in the domestic initial public the entire ultra-pole of this booth finally there is a new face, the following will bring you two, respectively, positioning the high-end, low-end Fujitsu ultra- pole of this first measurement of the domestic.

We first talk about the difference of these two Fujitsu Chao positioning. High-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole material costs higher, more excellent industrial design, its 4G LTE network, with the expansion slot can be connected to the Dock to enhance all-round and is equipped with a fingerprint reader, with a TPM chip, so it is more likely to business. Low-end series is relatively simple, it was more like a thin version of the traditional notebook, and more inclined to entertainment.

Increasing body firmness, both Fujitsu U series ultra-pole of this top cover are made of aluminum alloy, high-end LIFEBOOK U series is more eye-catching color, and low-end series is compared to a low-key.

In addition, the overall design, high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this integration A shell is significantly compact a lot to get better in the hands of texture, contrast, low-end products, because of side A composite material of the antenna device Therefore, in the integrity of slightly less. Thus details can be seen more effort for the high-end series in industrial design from top to bottom.

The contrast of the screen axis details, can be seen high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this detailed work, which uses a more complex process to create the entire fuselage of metal tightly wrapped, while the low-end series of screen axis plastic material. In actual use, the high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this screen axis damping appropriate, there is no shaking phenomenon in the low-end series is not so optimistic.

Thickness of the body can still clearly shows that high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this excellent compact degree, and compared to the MacBook Air by no means a disadvantage.

The state are equipped with the set of significant, high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this more portable, 1.5 kg weight of the machine allows users to more easily, while the low-end series is far from satisfactory.

High-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this narrow frame design, a small body big screen “in size, 14-inch or even smaller size of 13 inches, and high-end series of screen resolution up to 1600 × 900, processing documents, pictures even easier, just mirror design can improve the brightness but prone to reflective, a little less.

The high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this orientation tend to business, so the bigger the screen opening and closing angle is more conducive to the use of a variety of office environments, while the low-end series are more inclined to entertainment, 120 degrees is adequate.

Thanks to narrow frame design, the ultra-high-end LIFEBOOK U-series pole of the camera lights are smaller and more fit, the same time, it is equipped with a dual-array pickup hole, to provide stereo collection, and has a noise reduction function.

It seems from the cooling vents on the high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this significantly more heart, and the style is more tough, and it uses a copper louver design, compared to low-end series of higher thermal efficiency.

In addition, the business office, high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this also has features not available in some low-end series: docking station slot with the Dock to add more interfaces; built-in battery’s sake, use the RESET jack crashes when you play a power failure; with 4G LTE network, and anywhere high-speed Internet access. dell inspiron 14z battery 

High-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole size is smaller, so it’s above the keyboard into the position of the speakers, so it’s speakers are designed in the bottom of the fuselage near the location of, in the range of low-end The series is more intuitive.

Positioned high or low, there are pros and cons on material use and industrial design. The high-end LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole palm rest is aluminum alloy, while the low-end series features a low-cost plastic composite material.

Careful comparison of the details of the design can also find the difference between the two products. The high-end LIFEBOOK U-Series the top right corner of the fuselage keyboard to add an “ECO” function keys can be a key to turn the power saving mode, low-end LIFEBOOK U-series does not have this design. In addition both the power button is not the same, the difference is in the low-end LIFEBOOK U-Series power button design with LED backlight, high-end no.

The contrast between the two machine LED status indicators, high-end LIFEBOOK U-series dual-zone users: keyboard, the upper-right corner of region to guide for the keyboard status lights, the lights of the palm rest the lower right corner of the region for the operation of the machine state. The low-end LIFEBOOK U series in order to save costs, all LED lights all designed in the the top left of the keyboard.

Doubt on the LED indicator: in the end the two-zone design user-friendly? Or all mixed together more clear? Personally feel: the finer functional classification for a long time the use of more conducive to saving time, because it reduces the time users looking for judgment. Mixed up with the design, it is easy to cause identification difficulties in daily use. fujitsu siemens Amilo Pi2450 battery 

High-end LIFEBOOK U-series built-in fingerprint encryption, low-end no. U-series of high-end LIFEBOOK fingerprint encryption function with ThinkPad products used in the encryption module for the same level, you can encrypt the hard drive, the BIOS, the benefits are obvious: is to take the storage, the demolition of a hard disk can not be read to protect the security of the data.

————————————————– ———————————-

What is the TPM?

TPM security chip is in line with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module, the standards of the Trusted Platform Module) security chip, which is one containing a small chip cryptographic components and storage components on the system by the CPU, memory, I / O, password arithmetic unit, the random number generator and embedded operating systems and other components, can effectively protect your PC to prevent unauthorized user access.

————————————————– ———————————-

Subject to the thin body, these two people feel troubled by design – keyboard key process short, prolonged use of computers and users to do text entry, this flawed is unacceptable. Another point is, that the two products are using the same keyboard design, and there is no good who times. Makers why the high and low end products using the same keyboard? Is simple: cost. The whole series products Universal accessories not only save material costs and save time in research and development and maintenance more convenient. Oh, right above the touchpad is not common parts, a closer look will find high-end LIFEBOOK U-series touchpad rounded curvature of less than low-end LIFEBOOK U series.

Finally we all care about the interface design part of the configuration of the interface between the ultrabook this is a very rich, but with the same product of the Japanese Toshiba Z830, LIFEBOOK U-series there is a slight gap, because Toshiba Z830 with conventional VGA connector. In addition, two LIFEBOOK U series cable interface expansion design, can not directly access network line, you must use the adapter. fujitsu fpcbp155

It should be noted, this article does not contain a hardware evaluation part of the reason is that both the IDF to preview the exhibits. Two LIFEBOOK U-series ultra-pole of this published in the era of SNB processor, I guess they will be in the 2012 Ivy Bridge processors in shipping by the described here, we PConline ultrabook in this channel will be in shortly thereafter with to their specific hardware configurations and evaluating information, please friends wait patiently

The ASUS Pro4JS notebook evaluation

April 11th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

The emergence of the Ultrabook extreme down the traditional notebook in the industry’s status, fashion, thin, high with these have become the label, but also the people chasing the target, compared to “stupid stupid” traditional notebook seems to have no one to care for. But there are several issues really can not ignore the first traditional notebook to have the edge on price, the current ultra-pole in this price is often a traditional notebook with the configuration, and ultra-pole of this although thin, for this reason it is at the expense of many of the common interface, these defects are irreparable.

Bring an atypical business notebook – the ASUS Pro4JS as to why say it is atypical, after reading this review the answer will be revealed the ASUS Pro4JS business notebook with the Intel Core i5-2450M processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, NVIDIA Geforce GT 520M discrete graphics, 750GB mechanical hard drive, screen 14.0-inch HD LED-backlit display, the best resolution of 1366 × 768. Next we look at its specific performance.

ASUS Pro4JS dressed in gray broke the previous business of the rigid plain black design, its roof with composite material production, if not carefully observed, brushed metal design of the roof can easily be considered a metal material production. Although there is no use of metal production, but the ASUS Pro4JS roof also durable, asus eee pc 1005ha battery   not easy to leave fingerprints and perspiration. The top part is not a plane near the shaft there is a clear gradient, this design makes the machine look structured, over the top and the shaft smoother this regard is also consistent with the character of business people organized.

The ASUS Pro4JS the screen for a 14-inch 16:9 LED backlit display, the best resolution of 1366 × 768 screen with matte material, although the glossy screen of the display than the matte screen, but in the outdoor and strong light because the reflector, the contents of the screen will not clear, compared to the matte screen to reduce the grainy screen to improve the display, for business people often need the computer to the outdoor use, matte screen should be the choice.

ASUS Pro4JS the maximum open angle of about 160 degrees, though not, as some products can reach the opening and closing angle of 180 degrees, 160 degrees definitely enough.

We can see the ASUS Pro4JS thickness, 34 mm body thickness twice the thickness of the Apple MacBook Air, while the contrast of view of a dollar coin, its thickness should be thicker on the 9mm is not very light, its body weight , the whole weight of 2.371kg, travel weight was 2.917kg, this weight is not very suitable for business people use portable business notebook.

The ASUS Pro4JS with a rich interface, the left side of the fuselage, respectively, for the power supply, RJ45 network cable port, VGA, HDMI, and USB2.0 interface. Are located on the right side of the headphone and microphone jacks, two USB 2.0 ports and DVD burner. Set in front of the fuselage on the left is the three-in-one card reader (SD / MS / MMC).

It is learned that the ASUS Pro4JS the shaft after 35,000 times of testing, visible and durable index is quite high, but Xiaobian There is really no effort to carry out so many experiments, but small series within the limits of its 100 test feeling the ASUS Pro4JS shaft damping moderate process, single hand fully closed top cover is open, As to whether it really can reach 35,000 or more opening and closing times, to be tested.

The ASUS Pro4JS and ASUS A43SD, the keyboard, the keyboard design is exactly the same letters and numbers are large and obvious, the key combination to identify the blue label. Additional thickness of the fuselage, they can maintain the quality experience of the long key process in the area of ​​the keyboard ASUS A43SD sink design retraction distance than the C-face border plane. The chiclet keyboard is now very popular, but Asus has different from other unique design gives the impression of profound.

The the ASUS Pro4JS and A43SD touchpad with Palm the Proof technology to intelligently distinguish the difference of the palm and finger contact surface, when the identification to the palm of your hand to touch, the system will immediately turn off the touchpad, so as not to inadvertently move the cursor interfere with normal typing operation . The more useful this one during the game of the keyboard and mouse operations, such as the now popular around the world, “World of Warcraft”. Below the touch pad also set up a light, easy for users to observe the computer running.

Today’s notebook users while considering the performance, heat dissipation, life has gradually become the focus of attention, which has become the key to good to distinguish whether a laptop computer. The thermal testing the software used for the FurMark Kaoji software, FurMark twenty minutes after the results of the figure and the figure is running under full load condition, the district heat from the keyboard palm rest and touch pad part of the temperature control only about 32 degrees, but in the middle of the keypad and the left side of the maximum temperature reached 40 degrees, there will be some burning sensation when used.

Next we look at the situation of the ASUS Pro4JS back heat from the above results, both a draw and high temperature is mainly concentrated in the right side of the back of the fuselage, the temperature of thermal windows up to 45 degrees . In summary, The ASUS Pro4JS heat needs to be improved.dell inspiron 1525 battery

A lot of friends are interested in the internal temperature of the notebook, this time we use aida64 to monitor, in full load condition the ASUS Pro4JS internal core temperature (see above).

Life:

The level of natural life is derived in the ordinary application of the test results, the results quite satisfied MobileMark2007 gives 281 minutes of battery life duration, equivalent to the hours count for nearly five hours for unplugged use.

The ASUS Pro4JS: Performance testing and summary

ASUS Pro4JS Intel second generation Core I5-2450M processor, dual four thread, the default clocked at 2.5GHz, graphics card NVIDIA Geforce GT 520M graphics card, an independent graphics card settings it is Xiaobian somewhat puzzled, if designed in order to plot exist, 3D rendering GT520M was not well, if only for general office set was more than enough, do not really use it for spare time entertainment?

If the Cinebench R10 test in order to form the standard easier to contrast the Cinebench R11 is the gradual transition of PConline evaluation room, the version of the test procedures to the last bit of performance of the drain system, while the more fps with pts unit intuitive but also it enables ordinary users to understand (fps, frame rate units, pts point units). asus c41-ux50

3Dmark06 points of view of running, ASUS Pro4JS, indeed in his spare time entertainment, World of Warcraft seems to play together is not a problem, Kart, and DNF can pass to kill.

PCMark Vantage provides a more easy-to-use one-button testing capabilities and the desktop, mobile, and workstation platforms, unified test scripts, test software based on Windows system. PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC’s overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment systems to notebooks, professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether it is in the hands of the professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, system performance can understand through the PCMark Vantage test content can be divided into the processor test, graphical test. The hard drive test.

SYSmark 2007 Preview is a PC performance testing software for a variety of software platforms, it is the actual installation of our daily most of the software can be used to the realistic simulation of the running applications (word processing pictures, video playback, 3D performance, etc.), so its The test results for the office and entertainment applications are very real and accurate, has been recognized by the industry.

Summary

Atypical of this business – Asus Pro4JS, distinct levels of gray roof, distinct lines very closely aligned with the style of business people, the second generation of Core i5 processors, 4GB memory, 750GB hard drive can also be good to help business people to complete variety of tasks, but it weighs slightly heavy burden can not be ignored for those who often need to move the office, there is GT520M alone significantly set people puzzled, and perhaps this is the ASUS Pro4JS this style of business, in his spare time can also enjoy the recreational game.

Clevo Terrans Force Kepler graphics laptop evaluation

April 8th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

With gaming PC, Alienware alien brand is doing my model for the industry emerged in the market, its leadership, many individuation and unique design, gaming notebook, but after all, is in the halo of others, poor industrial design to make them difficult to stand up when the. Emerging products from the future of mankind, the Terrans, Force, called “Earth”, which is the OEM products from the Clevo foundry, the machine is not only to learn the design of the Alienware alien, but also has strong configuration can easily deal with any large-scale 3D games in the market, Here let us specific look.

————————————————– ———————————-

Force, on the Terrans,:

Terrans, Force, Clevo foundry OEM products on the mainland. Alien before the acquisition by Dell, Alienware is Clevo foundry. Since Alienware has been the acquisition by Dell. Clevo in mainland China introduced the Terrans, Force, its own brand. The Terrans, Force, is also OEM by Clevo. Terrans, Force (Clevo) in the world and the Alienware, Origin PC to match the top PC manufacturers. Over the past few years and sold to Europe and the United States, open sales channels in recent years in mainland China, so visibility is not high. Clevo over the OEM name: Mainland China: the Terrans, Force,; Europe: DevilTech; North America: Sager,

Terrans, Force (Clevo) is only in recent years to enter the China market, purchase channels. Country authorized the store is only 7, the majority of Terrans, Force, computer sales through the network channels. Therefore recommended to purchase directly from the official website.

————————————————– ———————————-

Clevo Terrans Force on earth X511-670-26 hardware configuration
Processor Intel Core i7-2720QM clocked at 2.20GHz Core frequency of 3.30GHz
Memory 8GB of DDR3 1333MHz
Graphics the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (1.5GB GDDR5 memory) + Intel HD 3000
Display 15.6-inch LED-backlit display 1920 × 1080 resolution
Hard drive 500GB 7200 rpm

Weight of the whole weight 3.244Kg travel weight 4.273Kg
Pre-installed system Free DOS-
Reference price of 10,700 yuan

Clevo Terrans Force on earth roof ABS plastic material, but to be the class of skin coating machine fine up to not only improve the grade of the fuselage and feel better.

Roof the middle of the Logo to see the title such as “Spartan” are also deemed “Iron Man”, the earth also given the mission to challenge the “alien”. Although the roof in the detailed design with minor Johnson Alienware alien, but exaggerated, “Totem” is still overbearing.

Also doomed due to the reason of the special positioning of the game, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth will have a more “huge” body, with the “alternative desktop” and “fate”, it is only suitable for use in a fixed environment, of course, one of the notebook portability, normalized set of far more than the desktop, and this is its advantage. dell studio 1749 battery 

To become a qualified replacement for a desktop gaming notebook, equipped with the hardware necessary to be enhanced, Clevo Terrans Force on earth with the i7 quad-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M discrete graphics, so its adapter is to be have enough power to deal with these two power-hungry, its power is 180W, and the resulting large size and weight.

The sunken shaft design is now the popular elements of assertive blue Terrans, Force people on earth are no exception, and the more common design greatest advantage is that as much as possible to save costs, and benefit from the players, we must first “section” on their own.

In addition to the powerful hardware, Clevo Terrans Force on earth chasing on the screen with 1920 × 1080 resolution, whether it is to watch HD movies or athletic 3D games can bring delicate, shocked the screen, if you think 15.6 inches The size is still too small, then the Clevo official website also offers 17.3 inches of the Terrans, Force earth models to choose from.

For gamers, a robust hardware platform for the most important, a comfortable operating platform is essential. Benefited from a larger body size, the Clevo Terrans, Force C surface of the earth is relatively broader, independent numeric keypad can also be equipped with, players can customize the shortcut key in the game fight will occupy a larger machine.

The larger C-face is a wonderful experience for the player, but the Clevo Terrans, Force Earth keyboard is unsatisfactory The biggest shortcoming is the key to a shorter duration, after a long and tense game, fingers have varying degrees of pain, in the text input, the user also need a lot of adaptation.

In addition, the Win key should be at the the bottom left of the keyboard was transferred to the position of the right in the game to avoid error, but ordinary applications, with some system shortcuts (such as Win + D show desktop), or some inconvenience.

In addition to the above details of the design, Clevo Terrans, Force Earth keyboard also offers a dazzling lighting effects, in short, the bottom of the keyboard is covered with LED lamps, and divided into three regions, each region can be customized set of eight different lamp effect. Lighting effects need to control the PC-side software, the software interface is simple and eye-catching, running after a glance to see the different effects preview in the three regions.

Actual effect, in a dark environment is still very good (after all, similar to such a personality products are few and far between), but the body is more a lack of character design, the overall visual effect is not particularly prominent, compared Dell’s the alien notebook will be able to see the gap between the two.

Although there are gaps, but does not represent the Clevo Terrans Force on earth do not have the bright spot design compared with the Dell alien notebook. For example, the keyboard lighting effects to add a quick control of the composite function keys. Can still functional, random color backlight, turn off the backlight, reduce / increase the brightness of the background, users require a combination of the Fn key.

Manipulation experience seems to be unnecessary to worry about this 15-inch notebook computers, Clevo Terrans Force on earth. You know, bulky body, the manufacturer can body C face the keyboard to do a more comfortable touchpad can also be increased to enhance the user’s fingers sliding area.

Body of 15-inch, full high-definition screen GTX 670M graphics card, eight threads of the Intel quad-core i7 processor, full-size keyboard + eight kinds of background light, performance, visual, and manipulation of all three, but it seems almost anything?

That is sound, do not worry, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth owned by Hollywood THX TruStudio Pro-theater surround sound technology certification. Above the keyboard, metal engraved pattern panel conceal two speaker units, a woofer placed in the bottom of the fuselage, the design of the Trinity at any time the hearing in the enjoyment of the state.

Different from the traditional products, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth the body status light is separated from the left side of the fuselage near the hinge region placed the numeric keypad, case, scroll lock three LED indicators, the right side of the fuselage placement of the hard drive, wireless, Bluetooth, three LED indicators, in accordance with the functional status indicator to distinguish the practice to be encouraged, and users do not have a row of lights to find what you want to know the true.

Special, Clevo Terrans, Force Earth camera offers a high-configuration module – 2 million pixel CCD sensor camera, the advantage is obvious, low noise, clearer images, true color reproduction, the front of the camera self-timer no longer have to regret the 300,000 pixel camera imaging quality problems.

Bright and brilliant keyboard, screen and audio to bring theater-like audio-visual feelings, this is Clevo Terrans Force on earth brought about by the vulgarity experience. To the interface area, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth is the top carried out in the end.

The left side of the fuselage distribution has two USB 3.0, one eSATA / USB 3.0 composite interface, coupled with the right side of a USB 2.0 fully adequate. Multimedia, Blu-ray COMBO CD-ROM and digital audio input / output jack is an incredible device, but even now rarely seen 1394 FireWire ports, it was also full.

The video interface has been fully transferred to the back-end of the fuselage, noteworthy is the DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, readily available, which is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M credit, which the Clevo Terrans Force on earth can be adapted to various environments.

Introduction to the external interface, we look at the inside of the fuselage structure, the two materials full of cooling modules impressively in the head. They are responsible for the cooling of the graphics card and processor, which the left side of the graphics card cooling fan surface was significantly greater than the right side of the processor cooling fan, heat pipe is a corresponding increase, we can see that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M the full heat.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M and i7-2720QM power will create a high fever, and in this I use FurMark for full load operation to test the Clevo Terrans Force on earth fuselage internal and external cooling performance. The figure can be found even fully loaded, Clevo and Terrans, Force people on earth can still leisurely, entirely thanks to the efficient thermal conductivity of the two “burly” cooling module.

The exterior natural good dictates, because the cooling air outlet are designed to back-end of the fuselage, and the CPU and GPU was designed at the site near the shaft, so the actual use does not feel the slightest discomfort.

Clevo Terrans Force on earth with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M uses the latest Kepler architecture, 500M Series, 28nm process with the previous 40nm compared to lets graphics 3D graphics performance can be improved significantly in the same power state it has 336 CUDA cores, the frequency of 598MHz; independent with 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory, 192-bit wide memory frequency of 1500MHz, we first use the professional tools it run points.

3DMark06 link in the Clevo Terrans, Force Earth score very eye-catching, 1024 × 768 resolution is about to break 20,000, and the face of the limits of the 3DMark11 X-mode, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth are also given a 932 score. Theory test, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth is very good, the performance of the actual game and how?

“Battlefield: Bad Company 2″ paragraph 9 of the EA DICE developed Battlefield “series support DX11 to show the effects of its use of modern military background, accounting for both Battlefield: Bad Company 2″ has been released, according to by the old and new favorite players. The game uses an enhanced version of frost engine, added support block destruction of the framework destruction of buildings and objects. Basic Clevo Terrans Force on earth in the full terms of the effects can run smoothly.

“Crysis 2″ Crysis “orthodox sequel, the game uses an upgraded version of the generation engine – CryENGINE 3 produced in HARDER quality, maximum support 1920 × 1080 resolution, four times the anti- serrated and open the case of vertical sync, Clevo Terrans, Force Earth is still very eye-catching performance.

“Dust” the same with the “F1 2010″ Ego engine, with a more realistic weather system and picture effect, the game contains a snow scene, dynamic weather, YouTube upload, classic cars, split screen Versus, party, pattern, open world, more real-world sponsors and drivers and other features. 1920 × 1080 resolution, the Open four times anti-aliasing, global ULTRA quality, Clevo Terrans Force on earth can be a perfectly competent.

Modern warfare Modern Warfare 2 “sequel, this will be revealed the whereabouts and secret of the” Modern Warfare “series protagonist. New roles, new technology and cold weapons, even more massive battle scenes, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″ will lead the players to experience more realistic modern warfare. In higher quality, the Clevo Terrans Force on earth can basically achieve the full frame.

“Resident Evil 5″ test results are still very satisfied with the course of the game, the screen is very smooth, the final score is the highest around 80, while the other test links, Clevo Terrans Force on earth is to achieve the best S-Class.

The last can only use the hardware killer DX11 games Lost Planet 2 “to test the Clevo Terrans, Force earth. A pleasant surprise is at the highest effects, Clevo Terrans Force on earth can guarantee the basic fluency, “Lost Planet 2″ test result also shows that the absolute power of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M. dell inspiron 1464 battery 

i7-2720QM quad-core 8-threaded processor is not top on the mobile platform, can definitely Yiqijuechen, Cinebench R10 3D rendering test, up to 17153 (multi-threaded mode) and score enough to illustrate its excellent For some, such as 3D modeling class professional rendering, it is also evident.

Although the Clevo Terrans Force on earth with Sandy Bridge i7-2720QM processor, but it is equipped with a new 7-series chipset – HM77, means that in the future it can be no reduction in performance under the premise to replace Ivy Bridge processor, plenty of room for upgrade.

Mechanical drives are also the performance bottleneck of the Clevo Terrans Force on earth, 5.9 HDD peak, if the user wants to get a faster response, replacement is a good choice for solid state drives without losing.

The ultra-high configuration so that users do not have to worry about the Clevo Terrans, the computational performance of the Force people on earth, and test more than three professional tools for reference Needless to say.

By MobileMark 2007 test, the maximum brightness of the screen, Clevo Terrans Force on earth by virtue of 76.96Wh8 cell lithium ion battery to achieve a battery life of 187 minutes, while the measured life of the Dell alien M18x only 108 minutes from that point on, the Clevo Terrans, the Force than Dell alien M18x is stronger. sony vgp-bps8 battery

Summary

OK the appearance of the Clevo Terrans Force on earth, the material does not cut corners, full HD screen eight threads of the quad-core i7 processor GTX 670M graphics, full-size keyboard + eight kinds of background light, THX TruStudio Pro-theater surround sound, this can be considered on a performance level, the perfect notebook computer, leave alone his equal positioning Dell alien by how much difference how much different, they ask you a question: does not want to want?

Actual use, edit, Samsung Q470 than other same level products user-friendly design details are summarized for the eight:

The fuselage comes with bracket: paste together the user’s posture, to ensure the smooth heat.

2 screen backlight key switch: energy saving, but also protect your privacy.

Chinese / English input method: do not use the key combination to toggle, you can quickly switch between Chinese and English.

Interface by adding LED backlighting: in a dark environment can pinpoint the location of the common interfaces.

————————————————– ———————————-

Hardware configuration of the Samsung Q470-JT01
Processor Intel Core i3-2350M clocked at 2.30GHz
Memory 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (2GB of DDR3 memory) + Intel HD 3000

Pre-installed system, Windows 7 Home Basic
Reference price of $ 5299

In addition to the details of the user-friendly design, the hardware configuration of the Samsung Q470 is the current mainstream at the same time, it has been carefully designed to remain close to the people the price of strong, with i3-2350M processor, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M independent graphics card and 1TB hard drive, the official gives the price of 5299 yuan, this is the initial listing price, I believe that in the transition to the stable, it can bring more surprises.

Samsung Q470 roof plastic composite materials, but be allowed to have a porcelain-like coating glaze-like touch, feels abnormal delicate, with the white hue, the immediate upgrading of the machine’s temperament, demeanor here is not an exaggeration. In addition, the roof of the Samsung Q470 is not as white as jade, light reflection can also be found above the rows of small dots, with a decorative top cover from this life.

In any case, the Samsung Q470 is a traditional 14-inch notebook, so in terms of volume control are bland, slightly heavier weight of the whole unsatisfactory portability.

————————————————– ———————————-

What is anti-glare screen?

The glare screen is a liquid crystal display, suitable for commercial use, compared to the glossy screen in strong light, will not have a reflective phenomenon. The matte screen, that is, the surface is rough, so the light shines above the diffuse reflectance, from which point of view are not dazzling, are able to see the reflection of light over.

————————————————– ———————————-

Samsung Q470 with sunken shaft design, the sleek lines of the transition with the white body and more enjoyable. The maximum open angle of the screen around 145 degrees to meet the daily needs.

Part of the close-up of the body details

Unlike ordinary laptops, Samsung Q470 notebook computer comes with the fuselage bracket, bracket open state, the body is lifted, the keyboard angle is more paste together the user’s habits, meanwhile, also helps smooth cooling of the notebook computer. In addition, the Samsung official said that the stent can withstand 30 kg of heavy users do not have to worry about the firm.

There is no hurry to close the laptop, and do not want others to see the screen contents of embarrassment when, Samsung R470 battery  Samsung Q470 notebook computer is equipped with a quick screen to open the key, a key to easily change the screen to open and close the state is not only effective power saving, but also protect the privacy of the secret weapons. When to turn off the screen backlight, indicator lights on the shortcut button, in a low light environment also allows the user to confirm its location.

When we download files, and sometimes “forced” and wait until the download is complete, the Samsung Q470 laptop computer equipped with a clever automatic delay switch can automatically shut down when the download is complete, without always waited at the computer next.

By clicking on the “AUTOOFF” key to bring up the control panel, you can choose to shut down in accordance with the stipulated time, you can also customize the network switching speed is less than a value off, and thoughtful design not only saves energy but also the liberation of users.

Samsung Q470 laptop computers implanted a series of intelligent solutions. Easy one-button set, you can quickly realize the file sharing between two laptops through wireless, and get convenient Internet.

Click “SHARE” button, it brings up the interface of the wireless share, compared to Windows cumbersome set, which greatly simplified, whether multimedia or installation procedures can be convenient wireless sharing or access to. Wireless shared premise is that the other PC you must install this program, and adjusted to the same channel.

Of the most interesting is the inclusion of JBL speakers system, which makes the notebook computer can also reach the level of professional audio with 14-inch screen can easily bring the hall-class audio-visual enjoyment.

More and more widely used in notebook computers, indoor and outdoor, bright and dark environments, usage requirements, Samsung Q428 battery  the Samsung Q470 laptop computer with a backlit keyboard design, to ensure the use of the user in the dark, bring a full range of applications. The backlight does not support the light sensor, the user must use the Fn key combination to turn on the backlight, and is not conducive to operating in the dark.

Samsung Q470 C surface and the surface of B tones with very different and fancy a more simple and is no longer monotonous. It is worth mentioning that, at first to get the machine, I thought the palm rest for the metal material (from the outside, it is like aluminum), but it is the nature of the plastic material, the painting process of “metals” both cost savings and enhance the texture.

Pure white chocolate keyboard gives aesthetic visual experience through the actual use of formal it is not a vase. Fully resilient, the key way always and spacing appropriate, in general, the keyboard of the Samsung Q470 can bring very pleasant operating experience.

Internet life, multi-language applications is essential to more user-friendly applications, the Samsung Q470 laptop computers specifically designed to have a key language to achieve instant switch between Chinese and English language application clear. Samsung Q470 built Sogou input method through the actual operation, when you click the shortcut keys, the system will switch between English and Sogou Chinese Input Method.

The touch pad and palm rest natural feel outstanding. Actual operation, regardless of the accuracy of the pointer or fluency are very good, and the touchpad similar notebooks can certainly become a top grade. If you have a little less than that is its area is smaller in the multi-touch operation is slightly cramped.

Easy-to-use intimate need to be reflected in the details at the Samsung Q470 notebook computer humane to the USB port and “light” intimate LED indicator user-device interface easier to find in the dark, in order to bring anywhere comfortable application. It is worth noting that the interface LED backlight and keyboard backlight are synchronized to open, that is only in the state of the keyboard backlight turned on, the interface backlight will be opened, and vice versa.

In addition to user-friendly interface backlight, the number and types of the interface of the Samsung Q470 is also right way. First, it is equipped with four USB ports, this is very rare in the 14-inch notebook products, which also includes two USB 3.0 ports; such as the HDMI, VGA, RJ45 interface, it is also readily available, fully able to meet the daily The use of demand.

Have to introduce the Samsung Q470 eight important user-friendly design, the fact there are many potential users can not perceive the thoughtful place. Each interface corresponds to the palm rest area has prompted the characters, so that the user at a glance the location of each interface.

The Samsung Q470 is equipped with the i3-2350M processor, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics, and equipped with a 4GB DDR3 memory and a large 1TB hard drive, is very rare for a price of around 5,000 consumer notebook, the following look the actual performance of the Samsung Q470.

PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC’s overall performance, the test can be divided into the processor test, memory test, graphics, test, hard disk test.

17 inches Big notebook – i5 high Configuration Gigabyte Q1732 evaluation

March 25th, 2012 | No Comments | Posted in laptop evaluating

Not long ago, we have tested Gigabyte’s first 17-inch Big Q1700 because of the large size and very low prices has been the concern of many users. But there are also a lot of friends on such a large of this E450 processor with low power consumption does not understand why. Because this configuration looks somewhat like a 1.0L mini-car engines are installed in the supercar. Gigabyte has not been this big-screen this with another one core. This sent Q1732N with Core i5, + the NVIDIA GT540M, the whole performance has been greatly improved.

For most users, Gigabyte notebook industry is still relatively unknown brand. In fact, if you know the motherboard will certainly know the line brand, precisely because of the expansion of the brand’s only the Gigabyte notebook, notebook manufacturing standards just as much as some of the line brands. Let’s take a look at the big screen in this configuration after the upgrade this but also how the performance.

Because the Gigabyte Q1732N 17 inches considerable makes the whole body looks quite sturdy, but it is not simple products bigger enough. The roof area is relatively large, but the top surface of the high strength of support does not appear top center of the soft depression. Piano paint and Imprint Printing makes this NTU guys also have a stylish and beautiful appearance.

The Gigabyte Q1732N is a notebook with sincerity, mainly reflected in the fuselage above the mold design. First glance, the notebook external mold are almost the same, however, can best embody the designer’s intentions is the corner of the machine, the notebook corner angular, but done in the border above is very delicate, no rough corners paddlers feeling.

Makes us feel more surprise is that this version of I5 + GT540M alone significantly with weight is actually slightly lighter than without independence was low with version 0.2kg. However, this National Taiwan University, this is not suitable for frequently mobile, after all, then light weight size does not become small. Its position is an alternative desktop, desktops, for lack of space needs of large-size screen the user tailor made.

The Gigabyte Q1732N is the 17.3 inch big screen, the screen resolution of 1600×900. Although regret is not using the color gamut is wider and more energy efficient LEDs, but the resolution and screen size can make a lot of favorite movies and view area users relented. In addition the Gigabyte Q1732N the top of the screen there is a camera, can be used for video.

The keyboard design is the most mainstream of chocolate buttons, and comes with a separate keypad areas of this design to see that this is specifically designed for the convenience of the game user manipulation. In order to further enhance the user input to get experience, the GIGABYTE Q1700 specifically added the keys of the key process and feedback efforts, which makes you even do not use it to play games, will be more comfortable on the daily handling of doing business content.

Want to praise this keyboard, although the market Chocolate notebook keyboard are numerous, but Q1732N touch and tap a sense of absolute top few. The keycap frosted with the surface to comfort touch the corners of the keycap is rounded making the percussion is affixed hand. Care thicker body of the blessing, the key process is only slightly shorter than the traditional keyboard that overall percussion feel very good.

Gigabyte Q1732N lacking in the more convenient and user-controlled shortcuts design you can see for switching machine independent power button above the keyboard area, and other multimedia function buttons, such a large keyboard surface is not design of multimedia keys can only say that this is a way to reduce costs. sony vgp-bps8 battery In addition, where the area was placed at the light components to facilitate the users to quickly check computers running state.

The Gigabyte Q1732N the touchpad have more features, has a very delicate bump in the entire touch area. Increase product sensitivity to further enhance user navigation experience. Observant users will find the touch pad on the Gigabyte Q1732N and did not take the fashion line to install the integrated design of the touchpad, instead of using conventional separation touchpad, such an approach is obviously to provide to the user more accurate control experiences.

Gigabyte Q1732N with sunken shaft and lithium-ion battery module, and more interface conditions of the back-end design of the fuselage was closed, the same notebook with the ordinary consumer is the placement of user-friendly interface and accessories in the fuselage sides , but its body is very large, so both sides of the interface is also very rich.

And Q1700, Q1732N major upgrade part is equipped with a 2xUSB3.0. Other VGA / HDMI, e-SATA interface as before. However, in 17 inches of the body is not designed USB interface still have a little accident, many of the large size of the USB interface has more than four. But we do not pour tangled, this number basically enough.

The battery is the Gigabyte Q1732N equipped with 6-cell lithium-ion battery, the daily work of software usage patterns tested after 228 minutes (3 hours, 48 ​​minutes) results, this life for this National Taiwan University of little significance, after all, not how many users are constantly on the move, at most, be able to spend a while in the house of a power outage.

Large-size body can bring more conducive to heat the interior space, making the internal heat generated only in the retention within the body would immediately rule out a very short time, even in full load operation of the state is still able to get a cool experience. But because Q1732N hardware power has greatly improved, so the heat will inevitably unlike Q1700 is so cool.

We have repeatedly run 3Dmark06, which makes to ensure the high-load condition, after one hour of running, using the thermal analyzer to detect body temperature conditions. Back the maximum temperature in the location of the outlet, about 40 ° C. dell vostro 1510  battery 

The keyboard surface temperature is similar to our expectations, because the configuration is substantially improved, Q1732N heating is much more than the Q1700. But the hottest part of the outlet above the border, the temperature is still in the acceptable range of other location.

Hardware configuration, Gigabyte Q1732 uses the intel core i5-2410M dual-core processor, compared to low with AMD the APU E-450 dual-core processor performance has greatly improved, the other is also equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GT540M graphics game The performance has also been a qualitative leap. However, a slight lack of memory or 2GB of DDR3 1333, we can buy their own to add a memory of the price of cabbage, the machine runs more quickly.

The CineBench use for film and television industry, Cinema 4D special effects software engine, you can test the CPU and graphics performance. The first test simply using the CPU rendering a high-precision 3D scene images, run only once in a single-processor single-threaded, if the system has more than one processor core or multi-threading, for the first time using only one thread, the second run using all the processor cores and threads. This software is mainly used to test the performance of the processor, you can see Core i5-2430M performance is still very strong in the multi-threaded run close to the extreme. dell latitude e5400  battery 

3DMark06 is the industry’s most common 3D graphics performance testing software, you can see with a 2GB memory, the NVIDIA GeForce GT540M close score of 9000 points in the default resolution, which means that such a configuration basically be able to play the market part of the game.

SYSmark2007 PCMark05 to Vantage, are the industry’s well-known machine performance testing software, both programs will be conducted processors to decode, 3D gaming performance, disk read and write tests. Machine scores to evaluate with a good reference value.

Summary

Admittedly this Q1732N no Q1700 is so cheap, but can see in the early 5000 price of such products is also very amazing, you can say it is still a cost-effective full-screen notebook. This cost and not at the expense of the quality of products work to get the whole work or hardware are first class. Can say with full sincerity to return the courage to choose its users. If you are in need of such a large screen notebook, you may wish to consider.
