New 3A platform debut ASUS K43TA Laptop review

New 3A platform debut ASUS K43TA Laptop review.

Since Intel released new SNB structure, the notebook market product is mostly occupied by SNB processors of the schema. Miserable with AMD processor notebook products to almost extinguished. Under such grim situation, AMD released a tide of APU processor, original E350 has improve a bit after listing, but only the entry level is very difficult to turn things around. Fortunately, A6 and A8 processor has already been recently listed gives AMD dafanshenzhang more powerful gunpowder. ASUS Laptop Batteries.

ASUS K43 series Entertainment notebook has recently added a new Member-K43TA. K43TA is the A6 3400M processors with AMD latest listing. ASUS new APU or the new 3A platform performance if, which brought new features, is it has a very high price performance it?

ASUS K43TA Laptop designs consistent with K43 series. Also incorporates some of the serious and sober fashion. For example, top cover film ripple in printing technology, silver LOGO together with highly reflective roof, with a strong visual impact.

K43TA matching 16:9 specification of a 14-inch high brightness lens wide screen. Below the Screen: to exclude, expel, turn away axis damping support larger, by actually opening-closing testing can be found, cannot lift the screen in one hand. Built-in 300,000 pixels camera above the screen, can basically meet the application of network communication.

K43TA keyboard design to islands of duckweed. Its key process design of moderate, scrub key caps of more comfortable in using, press the key to good noise suppression.

Scalability, K43TA is equipped with a faster USB3.0 interfaces, along with mainstream applications such as HDMI, network, VGA, USB2.0 interface, can basically meet the user's everyday use.

K43TA using the AMD processor A6 3400M, the latest CPU-Z and unable to effectively identify, according to official information to read, A6 3400M is a quad-core processor, clock speed 1.4G, owns 4MBL2 cache TDP 35W and internal integration of HD 6520G support DX11 video card.

The video card, K43TA in addition to integrated HD 6520G has configured AMD HD 6650M discrete graphics card with 1GB DDR3 discrete memory.

In addition, K43TA has configured a Samsung 2GB DDR3 1333 memory, Western Digital 320GB 5,400 rpm hard drive. From the overall configuration, disk and memory configuration is low, but through official matching higher specification hardware. And the set is dual-graphics alone can switch? In fact, can not only switch can also dual SIM dual SIM combinations, is AMD's crossfire, then set and single fire exactly how many will be performance gains?

3A life and calorific value of the platform.

K43TA battery life 321 minutes about 5.3 hours, for a 6-cell ASUS Laptop battery life than the strong, thanks to AMD low-power and exclusive ASUS Power4Gear technology.

Power consumption testing using Everest software on system of comprehensive baking test for 15 minutes, after testing using UNI-T UT71E intelligent digital to observe the results. Results of 32.9W indicate 3A platform power consumption is very low, if the press is working 8 hours a day, just consume 0.3 degrees.

Calorific value of testing, we in the 24-25 at room temperature, with power consumption tests the same datum, after 30 minutes with an infrared study of Wen Yi visit multiple locations of the maximum temperature on the surface of the fuselage.

Profiling views

K43TA advantage: the new 3A platforms, power consumption is very low; USB3.0 interfaces configured with faster; new CrossFire mode and improving game computing capacity, enhanced entertainment value. Disadvantages: processor performance would be low; new product compatibility for software or need to be improved. In addition, ASUS exclusive Palm Proof technology enables trackpad intelligently distinguish differences of the interface between the palms and fingers to avoid accidentally move the mouse cursor while typing, very practical.

Summary after, can be learned from this evaluation, brought the most important feature of APU is the set of the new boost from gaming performance and combination of independence, while maintaining low power consumption. But still the low performance of the processor is a stumbling block to AMD strikes back.
