Laptop is ending new Ultrabook analysis of the concept.

This year on May 31 of Computex Taipei International computer exhibition Shang, Intel first made has Ultrabook Super very this concept, and bold of made its in 2012 end will occupy consumption class notebook computer subdivision market in the of 40%, it will created PC history Shang performance and portable sexual of most perfect balance, may provides extreme of appearance design, and excellent of calculation performance, and super long of battery life time, and extremely fast of response and more high of security, and to this brings excellence of using experience.

Debut there with first dubbed "Ultrabook" ASUS UX21, this super visually see and we very pretty familiar MacBook Air striking similarity, even configuration specifications are all expected: Ultrabook ultra not equal to ultra thin laptop?

Followed by 4 months, Ultrabook become almost all the processor giant Intel Corporation product advocacy a top priority.

Laptop will perish Ultrabook ambitious trilogy

As traditional personal computer in the past 40 years has been the impact of Moore's law and process technology development, Ultrabook pace of development is also of Moore's law, and be driven by advances in manufacturing technology. Intel will be introduced in three phases Ultrabook strategy to accelerate the realization of this vision:

As the latest introduction of the second-generation smart Intel Core Duo processor, marking Ultrabook ultra-official launch of this strategy, this series can be one of the first Ultrabook Super very strong light on the design and appearance, product thickness less than 20mm, mainstream products cost less than $ 1000. Based on this processor platform production, including Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird, ASUS UX21, and so on, will be listed in the third, fourth quarter of this year and meet with consumers.

The second phase, using 22 nm Ivy Bridge as the next generation of Intel processors, will be launched in the first half of 2012. The chip also uses the Intel innovative 3-D transistor design, announced in May, that is, three-gate (Tri-Gate) transistor technology and graphics core from the original 12 execution units increased to a maximum of 24, and joined the DX11 support. In addition, Ivy Bridge platform DDR3 1600 memory, will also be provided, 2 4 USB3.0 interfaces SATA3.0 (6Gbps) and the latest PCI-E 3 native support, to simplify board design is of great significance, while Ivy Bridge processor-based laptops will boost power efficiency, achieve intelligent Visual performance, and increased responsiveness, and safety features.

After the launch of Ivy Bridge processor, Intel step will be launched in 2013, codenamed "Haswell" processors, further improving Ultrabook through Haswell processors, Intel will be changing the mainstream Laptop cooling design, and a microprocessor's power dropped to half of today's design.

In the planning of Intel, by 2013, "the Notebook"-this vocabulary will be a thing of the past, all being replaced by Ultrabook. (Notebook batteries)

First Super publish Ultrabook feature details

Said a grand objective, talked about future plans, here we take a look at Ultrabook Super very flesh, let you have on this new concept of product specific knowledge.

At the COMPUTEX Taipei show, to debut first Ultrabook Super--ASUS UX21, was just released about configuration and does not provide specific details, also makes people more suspicion Ultrabook is just a different brand of Air products. Until the afternoon of September 16, global PC industry leader manufacturer Acer and Intel jointly publish the Chinese market's first Super--Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook hummingbirds, so our first real contact with ultra.

The Conference, Intel China President Ian Yang pointed out that the personalized Internet age created a personalized calculation and experience, people are changing from traditional content to experience the creation of content, and the demands on the PC experience is coming closer to harsh, thinner, lighter, more responsive, long battery life, a computer get sth This challenge, and so on, and today, whole-sale solution on the Super pole itself!

According to the standard specification developed by Intel, at this stage, Ultrabook Super possessed by this performance and functionality of today's notebook, and Tablet PC features, provide a rapid response capacity and a higher degree of security experience. Specifically, magnesium-alloy body, shall not exceed the maximum thickness 21mm, must be available continuously for 5 hours or more, with low voltage Sandy Bridge processors and has the ultra strong computing performance, with extremely fast boot and wake speed. And future advances in manufacturing processes and technology, ultra-performance, battery life will continue to strengthen, and progressive integration into the common AOAC on touch screen mobile phone (Always online always connected), get them even sleeping state or networking and automatic features such as send and receive e-mail/push.

We then take the first listing of a super-Acer Aspire S3 hummingbirds, it is not just the way metal fuselage, 21mm specification, are successful can be equipped with HDD case, keep your body thickness to the amazing 13mm, this alone is beyond the MacBook Air. In addition, wake it from sleep mode takes only 1.5 second, deep hibernation only to 6 seconds, and that the State maintain almost 50 days on standby, wake is also 4 times the speed of fast Internet connections, which are super thin Apple Air as well as traditional Laptop that does not exist.

From the configuration/features both it is not difficult to conclude that, brand new Ultrabook ultra product key is not on the configuration, let alone the SNB currently low voltage processor has already been well to meet the demand for daily use. It is the most stressed is extremely lightweight body, extremely long life, fast wake-up speed, and network speed, and to let the user feel like using mobile phones handy notebook experience, it is undoubtedly for the notebook industry an unprecedented change. In addition, a variety of extreme performance, Ultrabook at home is also translated as "super" major factors.

APPLE MacBook Air price hold sway Ultrabook platforms are immature

At present, in the world of PC and mobile phones, flat panel, there is no a manufacturers new releases can be as attractive as Apple. Apple also positioned the ultimate thin and light product: MacBook Air, its low mixed version of the current price is just $ 999, configuring no less than the Ultrabook has published in the mainstream, just on Intel's "mainstream products not greater than $ 1000" exerting tremendous pressure. Domestic currently 11 inch version with low Air prices us $ 749 below US $ 799 Acer laptop battery S3 hummingbirds; even after Air official website upgraded to 4GB RAM price only $ 840 and consider its two processors, hard disk specifications better, can still Ultrabook formation pressure.

In addition, there are media noted in August, Apple had been given a new MacBook Air ultra thin and light design patent, suspect to resist Ultrabook brings pressure. Air also still using Intel processors are currently available, so unless Apple moving platforms, you should not make too much about Ultrabook reaction.

Because Ultrabook request body thickness of no more than 21mm, the internal space was substantially compressed, so you must use slim design components, laptop battery from a conventional lithium ion batteries replace lithium-polymer, costs will have increased. Fuselage shell, lightweight while also guarantee excellent hardness, so traditional low cost engineering plastic body must not continue using, hinge technology to improve. In addition, before the manufacturers have no similar product design experience and technology, manufacturing processes are compared to the MacBook Air is already quite mature, take on cost alone is not to be. (acer laptop batteries, toshiba laptop batteries, hp laptop batteries and Dell laptop battery)

Laptop manufacturers including Acer, generally agreed that production one can match 11-inch MacBook Air product, parts costs alone had more than $ 700, performance better if you configure two daikurui i5 processor, the final product price Yes more than US $ 1000. The same configuration, minimum distribution for Apple MacBook Air sold us $ 999, and profit margins. So for Ultrabook, if you do not provide subsidies or Intel processor, chipset, huge concessions in procurement costs, this new product is unlikely to promote it.

Finally, in addition to cost, MacBook Air pressure, and the most appropriate Ultrabook ultra processors and operating systems is yet to come. As previously said, Ultrabook will be gradually integrated touch screen, and now we are the most commonly used Windows 7 operating system in touch and not strength, we have to wait for the latest Windows 8 coming. Hardware, core i5, I7 processors currently low voltage version current consumption 19W,32nm process, universal battery life under normal use for about 5 hours. To further reduce power consumption, improve life, obviously we have to wait until next year came out of the 22 nm processors, by which time may carry Ivy Bridge Ultrabook processor, running Windows 8 operating system more worthy of our choice.

In response, Ultrabook hyper-not only did it, and made an additional new ideas such as the quick wake up, AOAC, which will significantly change the way users move PC's understanding and stimulating users to completely realize themselves in these urgent needs.

As Intel's three-year plan to Ultrabook said, this year the Super pole we saw this is far from perfect, more are stuck in the concept stage, and subsequent models worth considering. And from actual products configuration and price view, $ 7,99  for a paragraph i5 super thin metal notebook for also is can accept of, after all it carry up also convenient, belonging to PC, run Windows system, relative Yu Air, it more meet domestic software and network environment (if you more tendencies Yu buy has Air directly kill Mac OS x loading Windows, author also have nothing to say), therefore if you eager to starting with a Taiwan thin notebook, Ultrabook can already at this stage to think. If you are in no hurry to start with, then I recommend that you might as well wait, next-generation model performance with better support DX11, battery life is longer, at the same time as the making of mature technology, prices will naturally lower.

Finally, Ultrabook ultra-revolution!

Intel's consumer notebook into five categories.

Intel's consumer notebook into five categories.

Intel decided to paint a different picture in picture of a consumer laptop market. Intel used to talk about the processor's clock speed and technical specifications. However, Intel recently to make things easier. Intel laptop now is divided into five categories: Basic, entertainment, mobile, gaming and content creation. Content creation is the most expensive.

1. Basic type of laptop is the cheapest market segments, starting price of less than 300 dollars, provides basic access to the Internet, e-mail, watch video and light-duty Office, and other functions. These portable systems the maximum price of not more than $ 600.

2. Entertainment notebook computer prices $ 600 to 1000, has better media experience, casual gaming performance and little content creation capabilities.

3. Mobile notebook is focused on Office productivity for mobile workers. This type of laptop performance, style, and hp laptop battery life should be to achieve a perfect balance, to sell for between $ 700 to 1000.

4. Content create laptop can provide higher speed of video editing, photo and music creation. This type of Acer laptop, Toshiba laptop, HP laptop, Dell laptop battery is priced at US $ 900 to 1000.

5. Is a laptop for gaming market. Such portable game performance is very good. If the game runs faster, usually means that the media performance is also very good. This notebook's starting price is $ 900.

Netbooks still exists, however, it belongs to a different market segment. Super present (Ultrabook) may cover this market of several market. However, because of this laptop is not listed, it currently does not cover any market segment.

How to choose a notebook

The first one: first pick the brand re-election CPU.
Fits with the design, appearance similar to a different desktop, or a laptop full of personalized products. Different brands, in the design of their notebook products, have a unique style: IBM laptop, HP laptop, SONY laptop, Acer laptop, ASUS laptop, Toshiba laptop, Apple laptop ... ... So, you need to do first is to select a consistent with their temperament brand. 
And specific to each brand, in fact, the model has a variety of price points to choose from. If you have determined how much money, then you can choose; if you have to shop around, you have to make some effort. Of course, we believe that the vast majority of users belong to the latter, save money! 
Then how to do it? See sales staff leaflets, processor, memory, hard drive, video card, screen, so many specifications of indicators, painfully start ah? Our suggestion is look at CPU! 
Why? The reason is simple, for two reasons: First, we all know that the CPU is the heart of the PC, it's good or bad, determine the overall level of the PC; second notebook manufacturers in most cases, the level is different depending on the CPU to decide on other configuration options, a good horse with a good saddle, with reasonable terms from, and indeed should be. 
To Intel processors, for example, she is currently the most powerful product is the latest Core Duo processor technology: applications for high-end series in which I7, i3 series for mainstream applications. Essential for users to multitask, and for low-end users of the economy, it is a Pentium dual-core processor. 
With the CPU and its application for the match, notebook manufacturers will normally Core I3 or I5 series is equipped with 2GB or 4GB of memory, 320GB hard drive over, and because the Core Duo processor technology, certainly with wireless network support; and and Pentium dual-core processor family with the order to 2G memory, 320GB hard drive-based. 
Of course, not every brand of each product will be strictly followed this rule, because for clearance, promotion or enhance competitiveness, in the sale of certain types of memory and hard disk capacity will exceed the average level of similar products.However, these are the exceptions, can only be adaptable, flexible, after all, losers do not take precautions. 
Even if you may think that the selection principle is also not perfect, but after all we've sorted out from the mess in the clue, with this great principle, we like a specific and detailed. The scale was refined, so naturally it is your application requirements, or popular point that you buy a laptop that is used to muscle. 
The second type: application for the typical configuration of each channel to the first 
High-end entertainment.
Want to enjoy fun in the notebook gaming experience then you must be able to withstand the high prices. Of course, the latest Core Duo notebook is your best choice, the ideal configuration is I7 processor, 4GB memory, GT 525M graphics card, such as DELL XPS line of high-end entertainment notebook, also has a 17-inch widescreen, of course, price is whom tip the scales. 

High-end commercial-type.
High-end business notebook can be divided into two categories - ultra-portable and high performance. 
Many users often away on business, and thus more popular in the ultra-portable notebook. In order to reduce the size of laptop, screen, battery size will be reduced accordingly, but this does not mean ultra-portable notebook prices will be cheaper. On the contrary, need a smaller screen can display more content, and low-capacity batteries can also withstand long use. Currently, the best choice for ultra-portable notebook is still Core platform - as the latest in power-saving Centrino technology has become more excellent, so the performance is still maintained under the premise of low power consumption. 
It is particularly worth mentioning is that Core platform also adds dynamic acceleration, SSD drive, and 802.11n high-speed wireless Internet and other new technology, which greatly enhance the daily office efficiency and enhance business application performance. In addition, the purchase of such models, we strongly recommend that high-end business users to select high-resolution screen. 

Mainstream entertainment.
Reference to the recent notebook market, we find that Core I5 ​​product prices already at a level acceptable. Consideration for the game, at least one discrete graphics notebook. 
On the processor, we can reduce some requirements, such as I3 processor is a good choice. Focus is to select the video card configuration, we mentioned earlier Core Duo notebook now widely used in Radeon HD 6470M and GeForce GT 380M graphics chip. Here the performance of two graphics cards in the game are quite good, is the most cost-effective graphics card solution. For memory, the game configuration we recommend 2GB capacity. The game is currently increasing capacity, 500GB hard drive capacity is also very necessary 
Mainstream business type.
If you do not need fingerprint, Bluetooth, SSD disk and other extensions, select the Core Duo laptops can still enjoy the fun and efficient office. Configuration, commonly used type of notebook processor P6000, HM65 chipset, memory 2GB, and 320GB hard drive can also deal with business office-related information and data. Although the configuration of the mainstream business notebook is relatively low, but companies in the design will usually leave some headroom. Such as Turbo Memory can be purchased separately as needed, and the memory slots will be reserved for future upgrades. 
Need special attention in the mainstream market, whether commercial or recreational model aircraft, the current configuration of the relatively large degree of flexibility, the market price of Intel under this section details the processor model. In addition to commonly used in high-end configuration I7 series processors, the configuration of the mainstream models I5 series processor the price will be particularly noticeable. 

Comprehensive Economy.Pentium dual-core processor based notebook computer is designed for low-end users, with the aim of providing low-end users the highest possible application performance and acceptable price. Overall economic advantage of notebooks is cheap. More importantly, for this type of notebook computers, ACER laptop battery life is no small challenge. The power savings is not only a part of things, only in the design of various components and how they work together to take full account of energy issues in order to achieve the best results. This is the starting point for the design of the Centrino platform, but also achieve a very good effect. For the Pentium dual-core notebook computer products, compare Core mobile platform power-saving technology, often used in power ran on a less certain. The solution is optional larger capacity battery, but this will reduce the mobility. Although the Pentium dual-core notebook performance and battery life is not outstanding, but some low-end notebook configuration is commendable. Configuration is very comprehensive, even including fingerprint Bluetooth, but the price is slightly more expensive. 
Talked about this, I believe we have largely mastered the purchase of a laptop's favorite trick. However, in the current market, but also a number of widespread misunderstanding, and these errors are also often used to store sales staff to mislead your choice, so we have listed below important three strategies to help you avoid the corresponding the "minefield": Three measures of performance not determine the full frequency 286, 386 may be from the era, became a measure of frequency of the fundamental indicators of the level of the processor. So that when you a wonderful reflection of a machine, a friend is definitely the first asked, "how much the frequency?" Frankly, this concept is somewhat out of date. Now the most important factor is the processor architecture! What is the structure? CPU architecture is the way to work, with more scientific and more efficient ways of working, if not the very high frequency, CPU can be as good work. 
At this time, you might ask, why is not this before the processor vendor consideration? The answer is power, for the early years of the processor, even to the early Pentium 4, their power and cooling are not much of a problem, but as the frequency of climbing again, with dual-core or even the emergence of multi-core processors , the processor has high heat overwhelmed the PC. It is in this need, driven by Intel last year introduced a new Core architecture, and applied to her line of notebook and desktop product lines. With this new architecture, Intel processor with less power consumption provides increased performance, not strictly speaking, that is, a lower frequency to provide a stronger performance. Having said that you may not believe, then we look at a group of figures it: Recently the industry's authoritative testing organizations CNET Testing Center of China. "Personal computer" lab uses several Pentium dual-core notebook processors to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. One is the Core Duo architecture T2330, a Core architecture did not use the T2130. Compare results between the two SYSMark 2004 SE, you will find the T2330 clocked at 1.60GHz performance (199 points) or even higher than the frequency of its 230MHz T2130 (1.83GHz) is even higher (197 points)! If you SYSMark 2004 SE benchmark test of this concept is not intuitive then. We look at two systems complete video codec situation, T2330 to complete a 3 minutes video encoding requires only 5 minutes 10 seconds, while the T2130 will need 6 minutes and 12 seconds. Lower frequency than the latter T2330 full 20% faster, 1 minute! Imagine, if you want a DVD, then compressed into MP4, it can save much time ah! Do not blindly believe that three measures of independence was In fact, the choice of graphics, is ultimately up to you not intend to use the laptop to play games. If your goal is the best large-scale 3D game play now, you can be clear, is that all current integrated graphics definitely reach your expectations, the only option is to separate graphics card. If you are the kind of game enthusiasts, the new game will race on in a notebook, then consider the Core Duo notebook platform or bar. The latest Centrino platform to GT 525M graphics card with the Mobility Radeon X2300 is the most common, both models support the latest DX11 technology. DX10 era will soon be gone. If you rarely set foot in 3D games, but in spare rooms from Lianliankan, Zuma or KartRider obtained some of the joy of these games, even on the "World of Warcraft," the special effects are not high demand, so to Pentium Dual-Core provides Radeon HD 6310 integrated graphics represented sufficient to meet needs, and it's significantly less power than integrated graphics alone was to extend notebook battery life. 
All in all, if not a big fan of 3D games, the purchase of acer laptop computers, do the importance of independence was not superstitious. Resulting budget savings than upgrading to a better processor, adding memory or a larger replacement hard drive. Three measures of the screens, hard drives, accessories which can not be sloppy Selection screen.Because the needs of various users are not the same for the notebook, the screen would have on the trip from the city selected.Notebook manufacturers are always ulterior motives on the screen, so we must keep their eyes open not tolerate any slack. First, we can not be fooled by advertisements, such as widescreen, and so publicity must not be the whole letter. From the experience of notebook products, manufacturers will not configure the low-end models of high-quality screen. Expensive, consumers will not buy it, so is the fancy of the publicity with which it must pay attention. Even something like the ad in general, bright, glossy, widescreen have a different resolution. Resolution of the general business will be avoided, but only up to 1280x800 widescreen low score levels, high score, you can achieve wide-screen 1440x1050. Self-evident advantages of high-resolution screen can accommodate more information, especially in dealing with spreadsheets and text was significantly better advantage. Different screen resolution, price difference between large, do not let this become a profitable business growth. 
Hard choices.Low-end notebook will shrink in all aspects of processing, the hard disk could not escape the catastrophe. Dual-core Pentium-based notebook products will generally configure 250GB or 320GB 5400 rpm hard drive, there is little up to 500GB. If you require a relatively high storage capacity, it chose the Pentium dual-core notebook it.I3 current mainstream processor 320GB notebook hard drives are started, more 500GB model. Moreover, some consumers are 7200 rpm notebook hard drive is very interesting, but should be noted that high-speed hard drive power consumption, heat and noise are not very good on. 
In many business notebook, fingerprint modules has become increasingly common. Through fingerprint recognition, finger lightly across the sensor on the lock will turn on the computer, very convenient. Notebooks with fingerprint recognition tend to be high prices, which was based on their purchasing power to choose. Add that with the fingerprint driver and software needed to run, so the manufacturers in this effort will determine the next function to use or not.

ThinkPad X220 first survey

ThinkPad X220 first survey.

Earlier this month, the Association in the United States released the ThinkPad a new generation of thin and light ThinkPad X220, although the appearance is still little or no change, Sandy Bridge processor platform upgrades are reasonable, but extra long battery life, 16:9 IPS LCD feature is pretty interesting. Before the ThinkPad X220 listed in April, addiction science sites have tested early, following their test report:

Look and feel:

ThinkPad x series appearance in the last ten years there has been little change, its aesthetic in the eyes of advocates is not due to the time change, in the eyes of critics could not still salvage the good word. In today's business this extra metal under the trend of the wind, have less matte plastic enclosure ThinkPad X220 some masculine of the gas, but, like all its predecessors, its robustness wouldn't be suspected.

ThinkPad 220 thickness of 1.25 inches (3.175 centimeters), weighs 3.6 pounds (1.63 kg) that is contains six cell battery case. If the base type plug-in battery, increase of 1.16 inches thick (2.95 inches) and weight increase 1.4 lbs (0.635 kg). Cradle battery designed and host quite in tune, it will not block any interface. In addition to the standard USB X3, Ethernet, audio output, VGA/DisplayPort, a X220 also provided ExpressCard 54 and four-in-one card reader, and evaluating prototype also includes a USB 3 interface, which is the exclusive high distribution model.

The keyboard touch pad:

ThinkPad keyboard feel was praised, not excepting ThinkPad X220. Press the key to strength is just right, arranged in size also make you feel comfortable. Lenovo narrowed the keys above the keyboard function keys area dimensions, but ESC and Del keys are still oversized. Also worth mentioning is that the test prototype z with some loose, after some correction keys not responding may still happen after, hope this is only an individual situation.

ThinkPad X220 still carry the prestigious little red dots, but new ClickPad touch pad is worth to mention. Similar to Apple's product design, the trackpad itself can directly as the mouse button pressed, therefore below the touchpad buttons are no longer available, touch area also expanded, reaching 3x1.95 inches. Trackpad surface with small bumps similar to Braille processing, but not too accurate insensitive multi-touch gestures.

On-screen:

Open the ThinkPad X220 after the first, the deep blue background on the screen will catch your attention. This 12.5 1366x768 resolution matte LCD screen using IPS Panel, not only excellent color expressiveness, the Visual angle is. Although the resolution is to upgrade space, but it is one of the highest quality portable screen on the market.

Apart from offscreen, Lenovo also spent a lot of thought into enhanced video calling effect, including 720p HD camera and of good quality noise microphone. Testers used Apple MacBook Pro built-in microphones and ThinkPad X220 respectively recorded an audio, audition results showed that although ThinkPad X220 still can hear keyboard tap sound recording, compared to MacBook Pro recording keyboard noise is much.

Performance:

On-board test prototype is Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz Core i5-2520M processor, deal with Mobile Office applications in a more than adequate, I feel faster than the previous generations Core i3/i5 models. Of course, here's a 320GB 7200RPM hard drive and 4GB DDR3 memory the credit. In addition, the ThinkPad X220 or optional solid state hard drive or SSD+HDD RapidDrive configuration, performance will scale new heights.

Graphics, the ThinkPad X220 still can only be configured Intel integrated graphics, but Sandy Bridge integrated graphics core for common applications such as high definition video playback, has singled out problems. In addition, using standard voltage processor ThinkPad X220 up and running and no fever too large problem, even playing network HD video also baked thighs or Palm sweating condition does not appear.

IBM / LENOVO Battery life:

Machine came just in areas including all notebook types, ThinkPad X220 also called history of longest battery life laptop. Using only standard 63Whr six-cell battery, it can in the brightness of the screen 65%, continuous video support in cases of 7 hours and 19 minutes. If this is the normal use, 8 hours of no pressure.

If combined with base-type plug-in battery, ThinkPad X220 battery life can a further 7 hours video playback battery life up to 14 hours 30 minutes. As long as you're able to bear external battery $ 179 price more than 600 grams of weight, in New York City to Taipei flights in full, you can last without external power supply.

Software:

As usual, Lenovo is preparing a series of ThinkVantage software for ThinkPad X220, including power control, fingerprint identification, backup, restore, and so on. Part but not directly pre-installed, but automatically downloaded on first use install and not other third party spam software preinstalled, this laudable.

Summary

We recognize that, from a distance ThinkPad X220 like a notebook with a 5 years ago. But he really was the fastest so far, the longest battery life of super thin models. Considering its performance, factors such as screen display quality, the price of us $ 889 (test prototype configuration list price $ 1299, cradle battery $ 179) is quite effective. This 1.6 kg lightweight small can meet your demands for performance, endurance, reliability of almost all, this is not common in the market. Yes, you can find more beautiful like the MacBook Air, ASUS U36J product, but on them is possible on a single charge battery life: 15 hours?

Extreme performance well Acer's first slim Ultrabook initial evaluation.

Extreme performance well Acer's first slim Ultrabook initial evaluation.

This summer, first proposed Ultrabook Intel concept, such notebooks less than 20 mm thick, with low-power processor, under the thin and stylish shell, notebook performance in conjunction with Tablet functionality. Ultrabook concept has sparked wide concern, the major laptop manufacturers have unveiled new products.

The afternoon of September 16, Acer's first official release in Beijing a Ultrabook notebook--Aspire S3 Hummingbird, Acer Acer Hummingbird Ultrabook laptop was previously in Germany IFA exhibition debut, ultra thin and light, metallic simple design style is going to be fascinating.　　

　　Acer Aspire S3 hummingbirds in the Windows system to achieve a revolutionary breakthrough: with only 13.1 mm thick, weighs less than 1.4 kg, with the fastest fast wake-up technology of 1.5 seconds, more than 6 hours of battery life, high performance intelligent Intel core processor and 500GB large capacity hard disk (or SSD hard drive) in combination, the performance and truly perfectly portable.

Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird thin and light design and superior performance as key factor in attracting users, after most of us have only seen a Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird slim appearance, did not experience it performance, Sohu digital at the press conference for the first time after you send this Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird comprehensive evaluation.　

Design　　

　　S3 take in your hands, there is not a book, body material choice for a textured aluminum-magnesium alloy, and metal wire drawing process let the appearance of more visual impact, nor like the piano painting surface treatment products is as easy as leaving ugly fingerprint. Hale did not bring heavy metal, but gives one the feeling and flexible use.

Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird aspect sizes 323mmx218.5mm,1.31 thickness of as much as a dime coin's height. And because uses a LED screen, the thickness of the screen the same dime coin. This Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird is quite outstanding in weight control, for easy carrying convenience, Aspire S3 weighs only 1.35 kg.

 

We know now many thin notebook are is used of metal shell, such also can to fuselage is good of support, although is pursuit extreme thin, but Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird is no because thin and discard notebook should some security performance, magnesium aluminum alloy material of shell can given thin notebook more solid of support, because this often was for aircraft shell of material in quality Shang than up ABS engineering plastics or other metal to light many, and has better of flexible sexual and strength, Acer Aspire S3 hummingbirds also joined the plate between the shell of the screen, even when we press hard on the fuselage shell also did not find the screen there is a clear water wave phenomena. Also aluminum magnesium alloys have good thermal conductivity, can quickly take away heat from internal hardware, also precisely because these features so we see like Apple MacBook Air,ThinkPad X300 these top models are introduced this material.

 

Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird has only one color for our choice, has, however, you can choose a different configuration, of course, price is not the same, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird is divided into two versions. First listed of models carrying has cool duo i5-2467M processor, has 4GB memory, 320GB hard drive, used Intel nuclear core video card, Bluetooth 4 module, fourth generation du than family theater sound effects, battery life about for six hours, pre-installed genuine Windows 7 family senior version operating system, will in September end of listed, price 7,999 Yuan; then October listed of models built-in has 240GB solid state hard drive, weight more light, reached 1.33kg, price for 9,999 Yuan.

 

Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird brand LOGO design itself in the top middle of the fuselage, so this machine look more like a square card, is in line with business people's identity.

In the area of the screen, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird is used on a 13-inch Color-Shine (mirror) LED-backlit LCD panels, maximum resolution of 1366 x 768, screen for the standard 16:9 scale, we know that LED backlight display compared to conventional CCFL Backlight better, at the same time there are lot of advantages of thickness. This Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird screen thickness quite well, thickness and the two almost a dime coin thickness and CCFL-backlit screen thickness is generally up to 8 mm and above, so this is the Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird an important factor in light of the fuselage.

We can see from the actual screen display, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird display effect is very good, color restore true, colors are full and enriching, and Color-Shine (mirror) designed it to be without direct sunlight can also easily see the words on the screen. Just in terms of Visual angles, likely to be smaller, but this did not affect us.

 

On the design and other aspects of the screen, screen border for Acer Aspire S3 hummingbirds were the silver design, fuselage shell of metal materials can be a good protective screens and excellent heat conductivity of metal material engineering plastic can't match. Designed around the border of the rubber cushions or avoiding injury of screen and keyboard contacts. Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird in screen-top design a camera, user-friendly video applications.

 

And in hinge of design Shang, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird used has a integrated of highlight type hinge, such do of maximum benefits is can will screen of strength maximize, also is also because Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird used has wedge shaped of design, so Qian segment and fuselage side are exception of thin, only will interface design in fuselage Hou Department, and traditional of sinking type hinge will will barrier interface, so only used highlight type hinge has while to keep fuselage of overall beautiful, Integrated hinge not completely through the body. And benefit from the battery was placed in the body's internal, so the back-end can have enough room to design a hinge, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird screen maximum opening angle of up to 170 degrees.

 

Keyboard design, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird adopts the popular chocolate keyboard, only keyboard no backlight function, this seamless keyboard is beautiful island and easy and excellent multimedia performance, providing relatively large press coverage and wider key spacing, therefore can effectively reduce input error rate and good comfort entered. Many notebooks have adopted this design, the best feature is that key Cap greatly reduces chances of user misoperation, while between keys and keys are separated, so dust and foreign objects do not fall, and many beautiful long nails will not be because the card into the slot to when typing.

 

Operating area are not designed excessive keyboard shortcuts seem to need we achieved through Fn+F1~F12 key combination shortcuts, designed the Fn key and Ctrl key outside, more in line with the user's habits.

 

Above the keyboard, it is in the power switch and status led of the fuselage on the hinge design, namely: batteries and power supplies.

It is a pity that, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird keyboard will not, as I expect, design of backlighting, cost of and backlit keyboard is also quite expensive.

 

Below the keyboard, we can see Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird operating area almost half of its area to the Palm and the Palm and the body is one piece of sheet metal, this was designed to make the action more firmly, although ABS engineering plastic handle may be compared to aluminum material comparable to some of the metal, but have a matte process feel is also quite good.

 

Operation area also has is large of space left has touch plate, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird of touch plate and Palm supporting used has overall design, area spacious of touch plate and Palm supporting Zhijian no gap, such without worried about has dust and dirt entered, and one type of touch plate will around press also hidden in has touch plate within, Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird of touch plate reaction speed is sensitive, no any procrastination slow phenomenon. Only engineering plastic materials and but with matte surface makes the touchpad's feel is quite good, roll around and touchpad settings and screen control area.

 

This Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird indeed gives us excellent operation, first of all, its only 1.3 kg weight when I move it pretty easy, and powerful performance, I forgot this is a super thin and light notebook, and faster network connectivity and instant start function that I feel the need to throw away the tablet.

 

Acer Aspire S3 Hummingbird in addition to the ultimate slimmer fuselage, cooler airflow cooling technology is another major change. Fuselage ingenious of will high fever component arrangements in fuselage Hou side, and take this left out Palm supporting regional, cold air directly from keyboard gap entered, flows through processor, and chipset, part, directly from Hou side thermal window discharges, wind road short, efficiency high, effective avoid has heat stacked, elimination has side of heat flow, while also user a cool Palm supporting, even is placed in knee Shang using, also can get incomparable comfortable of using experience.

Acer Aspire performance of S3 is convincing enough, compared with the current mainstream configuration notebook wouldn't even weaker, and on the hard disk read speed, equipped with SSD hard disk Acer Aspire S3 substantial lead. Integrated testing, Acer Aspire S3 performance compared to mainstream notebook has not diminished, and even some aspects of performance is excellent, I believe Acer Aspire S3 will become Acer notebook computer development of important milestones in the history.

Reasons To Own A Portable Car Battery Charger

Reasons To Own A Portable Car Battery Charger


It's easy to understand why a car battery charger is a great tool to have around. Cars, lawn equipment and motorized toys have batteries and may need occasional charging. Outdoor toys and lawn equipment especially need it due to infrequent use. Since some equipment does not have an on board generator it is up to the user to recharge to continue use.

Not everyone knows how easy it is to have their own portable car battery charger. They are actually rather simple to operate and have. You can get one that is basically an on or off operation or a complicated as monitoring and self adjusting charging voltages.

Here are five reasons why it is easy for anyone with a car, truck, or outdoor vehicle to own one:

1. You can take it anywhere

The great thing about these devices is that you really don't need a set space for them. Years ago you set the charger on a shelf or parked its cart in a corner and that's pretty much where it set. The newer units can pretty much be used anywhere you can find an electrical outlet.

2. They can be small and compact

You can find them light and small enough to fit in toolboxes and glove boxes.

Thanks to newer technologies electrical components can be smaller and lighter. Some chargers are as light as a couple of pounds. As long as you have a power source available, usually an ac outlet, you can be charging in minutes.

3. Cheap enough to own

With the same technologies that made these marvels lighter and smaller also means they are cheaper to produce. This has meant manufacturers producing more therefore lower prices. Add in to the mix resources such as Ebay and Amazon, batteryexpress.org.uk and bargains can be found. Chargers can be had for less than GBP20 and many times less than GBP15.

4. Extend the life of your battery and save

Newer units such as tenders can keep the battery topped off without boiling out the electrolyte and therefore potentially destroying your battery. One person was able to keep the same battery for his hobby car for over ten years thanks to a specialized charger. How much could this save you over the course of several years?

5. Keep your recreational toys on the ready

Ever had a spur of the moment idea to take the motorcycles out on the first nice spring day? If your battery did nothing but sit during the winter you might not get out as quick as you'd like. Having a charger can keep the battery up and ready to go when you are.

Although you would need a charger more if you own motorcycles, RVs, or other outdoor toys that are used infrequently, even car owners should own one as a precaution. With small size, light weight and low cost there isn't a reason why you shouldn't have one in your garage, closet, toolbox, or glove box. Add the fact that you could even possibly extend the life of your battery adds that much more value to your small investment.
