ASUS U41 Laptop measured: WiDi build wireless home theater.

Laptops have become one of the most common digital products in people's lives, many of them were for notebook applications are limited to chat and watched movies, especially female friends, even use laptops as a media player to use. Of course, the cinema is also more realistic shock felt the better, so is a good idea to assemble home theater, and at home with a projection device, and then on the next to put a computer in life inevitably some inconvenience. Now, however, a laptop with a supported Intel WiDi wireless technology can solve these problems.

Intel launched the wireless notebook WiDi technology can be synchronized to the images through wireless means on television and TV a little as long as the connection to the receiver on the line. ASUS U41SV support WiDi Laptop is a laptop, and it is also and the wireless receiver bundles, users can directly after purchase set up home theater at home.

ASUS U41SV Laptop appreciation of the overall appearance introduction

ASUS u Series notebook has maintained the advantages of light weight and high performance, ASUS Laptop Batteries. Latest U41SV from the previous generation was done some little changes. Its independence to carry Intel Core i5-2410M processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT540M graphics card, standard 4GB RAM, performance will naturally not too weak. With less than 1-inch thickness and 2 kilograms of body weight, even a 14-inch form-factor is also very suitable for portable and completely not bulky. Using metal wire drawing process on the surface of the fuselage, fashion sense prominent, especially drawing textured touchpad is special, which is invisible to the other brands of a notebook.

Leveraging wireless WiDi for synchronization of screen instructions and comments

WiDi is short for Wireless Display, that is, Intel wireless display technology. It simply is the use of wireless means to display share, using WiDi wireless transmission to another screen or image on the TV, like feeling like HDMI for video display. But Wired is a network connection to the receiver, the receiver then using HDMI connection screen or TV.

WiDi support 1080p output and Dolby 5.1 channel, currently only supports notebook processor, display chip also supports only Intel HD Graphics, that is, the output image can only be used when core video card cannot be used alone. In addition to Intel for a particular network connection and Intel WiDi software installed in order to use.

Support needs is more complex, but WiDi when looking to buy a notebook stickers on the line.

In fact, use WiDi for image sharing or extend the time will not reduce connector, but has more of a receiver's power supply lines. But the advantage is that no line between notebook and TV substandard display device, with a notebook that you can run around, will not be wired around your laptop left do not have to unplug HDMI cable from the laptop.

WiDi is very simple to use, to highlight the specific implementation of the following steps.

Comments on:

First we'll use a synchronous approach to video playback, whether it is 1080p playback movies or 4k can be a disaster, audio and also not out of sync problems, but television is the resolution as the notebook, which is 1366 x 768.

Then we set to extend the TV screen, the television has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (notebook or a 1366 x 768), drag the window, there will be a delay of phenomena. When play the movie, although it looks fairly smoothly, but it's still a bit of cotton feeling, actually did not run full frames. This situation occurs because there may be the performance of Intel Core video card cannot simultaneously address two different resolution screens, and plays the FullHD image relationship.

If only synchronous, even 4k movie playback, display and sound will be very smooth. But if you want to extend the screen, native 1080p screen on the TV show, it is not too smooth.

When the movie, the receiver's power consumption is very low, even in play, it was only about 0.5W, very power. Mainly because the receiver does not decode, as long as the screen to TV on the line.

Finally, Intel WiDi technology while very useful, but not more than one external receiver, if the receiver can be directly built into the TV or other display device, it's even great.

Thin and light form factor as a strong performance U41SV performance test

U41SV 14-inch thin and light notebook, the thickness of less than one inch, only 2 kilograms, but performance is not compromised, carry Intel Core i5-2410M processor, a score of 6.9 in the Windows 7 system, PCMark05 scores 8,153, performance is quite good. NVIDIA GeForce GT540M performance of discrete graphics did not disappoint, 3DMark06 score 8,760, Street Fighter 4 scores of 9,900 points to play 3D games in general sense not a problem.

While ASUS U41SV laptop battery life is pretty good, play 720p movie can adhere to 3 hours 15 minutes, if not high load operation, and in a State of full power even with out all day long without charge also did not have a problem.

Summary:

1, U41SV performance and light weight and level of gratification, not-so-obvious shortcomings, but price is high, price/performance in General.

2, Intel WiDi mix used is very good, both the meeting of the movies at home, U41SV can bring to users a good experience.

3 insufficient, hard to say, is fan sound somewhat larger USB 3 interface low, and metal wire drawing surface if not transferring the fingerprint is better.
