Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook Review

Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook Review

Like other Samsung laptops (the Series 9, original Series 5, etc.) the edges widen toward the hinge to accommodate all those ports, and then taper down as you move up toward the trackpad. It gives the machine some visual flare, for one thing, making it more interesting to look at than your typical box. samsung galaxy tab 2 charger But it serves a practical purpose too: when you hold the notebook in two hands, those curved edges create a natural resting place for your fingers.Speaking of, the build quality here is about what you'd expect on a mid-range laptop, which is to say it's sturdy, but stops short of feeling premium. The hinge is tightly wound, so that while it's easy to adjust the screen angles, the display also isn't likely to wobble when you set the machine down. At the same time, it's fairly easy to flex and twist the chassis, especially around the palm rest. samsung np530u3c battery You won't notice unless you pick it up by the edges, so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker by any means. It's just a reminder this isn't a flagship machine, but you already knew that.We mentioned earlier that the Series 5 Ultra is well-stocked with ports. Well, here they are. On board, we have three USB ports (one of them 3.0), an Ethernet jack, HDMI, mini VGA (dongle sold separately), a 3-in-1 memory card slot and a headphone / mic socket. Sure, it would've been nice if all of those USB ports were 3.0 but nonetheless, this is a better selection than what you'll get on most ultraportables.

Case
The first impression is vital and the new Series 5 makes a good one. The casing is now much subtler. The general styling looks more straightforward. In contrast to the prior 530U4C, the display lid is deep black. The cover made of brushed aluminum also conveys a pleasantly cool feel. The rest of the chassis is comprised of plastic, which is not a disadvantage by itself. The ultrabook's base, for example, has a matte finish that also feels compelling.
The plain impression is continued inside. However, an all-over gray color alongside a high-gloss keyboard background dominates here. This looks stylish, but is a small drawback in our opinion. x220t battery 3 cell The piano paint finish underneath the keys is considerably more sensitive than the other, matte components. The workmanship makes a good impression. All gaps are equally spaced. Even the transitions between the single parts do not give reason for complaint. Naturally, stiffness is a crucial factor. The casing's lower part seems rigid. It only yields when high force is applied using both hands. The display lid is stiff. lenovo miix 10 power adapter No visible waves are produced on the screen when pressure is applied.
With a size of 38.8 x 23.4 x 1.95 centimeters (w x d x h), the 530U4E weighs approximately 1.8 kilograms. It is not a lightweight but not heavy either. Devices like Apple's MacBook Air 13 or Asus' Zenbook Prime UX31A have an average weight ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 kilograms. Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is roughly 300 grams lighter with the same screen size (1.5 kilograms). Toshiba's Portégé Z930-105 is very light with 1100 grams.

KEYBOARD AND TRACKPAD
We rarely say this about Ultrabooks, but in the case of the Series 5 UltraTouch, we have no complaints about the keyboard. Oftentimes, in an effort to produce the skinniest machine possible, OEMs end up compromising on the typing experience, settling for flat, lifeless buttons. But this is the Series 5 we're talking about: it measures a good half-inch thick. It's obvious Samsung wasn't trying to break any records here, so we're glad it decided to go ahead and allow for some slightly cushier keys. Now, we wouldn't say these buttons are tactile like an old-school ThinkPad's, but they certainly offer more travel than what you'll find on most competing systems. They're well-spaced too: none of the major keys are shrunken, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 charger and we had no problem finding everything by feel. If you're into highlighting text, as we are, even the arrow keys are easy to strike without having to look down. All told, most of this review was written on the Series 5, which should say something about how comfortable it is to use. If we could change one thing, we'd add backlighting. (Seriously, shouldn't that feature be standard on most laptops by now?)
Were you waiting for a "but"? Because we've got it right here. The Elan touchpad sadly isn't great. It works well for two-finger scrolling, as well as swiping in from the right to expose the Charms Bar. But sometimes, when we wanted to swipe down from the top to bring up menu options, or switch tabs in IE10, we had to try several times before our gesture registered.
Worst of all, though, might be single-finger navigation, which seems to be the Achilles' heel on a lot of Windows trackpads. Put simply, the cursor just doesn't always go where we want it to: sometimes it goes rogue and ends up in a random spot. Sometimes it stops short before it gets to whatever it is we meant to click. Either way, it's annoying. Also, acer aspire switch 10 charger the palm rejection on this particular touchpad could use some fine-tuning: more than once, the cursor jumped to random parts of our Word document as we were drafting this review. The one saving grace might be the two dedicated left- and right-touch buttons, which are easy to press, and which ensure you'll never have to deal with a left click that gets registered as a right one.

Performance
Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch NP540U3C-A01UB Like competing ultrabooks, the Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch is equipped with a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-3317U processor and 4 GB of RAM—the same combination seen in the Asus VivoBook S400CA and Lenovo Yoga 13. But identical CPUs doesn't mean identical performance, which can be influenced by everything from the type of hard drive to internal heat distribution to the amount and type of software preinstalled on the machine. As a result, in PCMark 7, the series 5 UltraTouch scored 2,866 points, putting it at the bottom of the pile—the Asus VivoBook S400CA scored 3,013 points while the Lenovo Yoga 13 scored 4,417, thanks largely to its faster solid-state drive. Yet, when testing pure processor 130W Dell XPS 15 chargerspeed with Cinebench R11.5, the Series 5 UltraTouch scored 2.41 points, nearly identical to the Asus VivoBook S400CA (2.40) and ahead of both the Lenovo Yoga 13 (2.33) and the HP 4t-1100.The Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch NP540U3C-A01UB has plenty to offer with its mid-range price, high-performance processor, sizable hard drive, and Windows 8 with touch, and the combination of solid performance and robust feature set should tempt many. The Editors' Choice Asus VivoBook offers similar performance and nearly identical specs for $150 less, making it the top pick in the category. Despite this, the Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch compares well to other competitors, though the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga also offers a convertible design that doubles as a tablet while the Samsung puts touch in a standard ultrabook.

Display and Audio
The Series 5's screen is 14 inches with a standard resolution of 1366 x 768. We measured the brightness of the (advertised) 300-nit display at 222 lux, which puts it above the category average (214 lux) and Lenovo U400 (165 lux). However, other Ultrabooks outshined this panel, such as the Portege Z835 (260 lux) and the ASUS UX31, which had a blazing 391-lux display.This notebook's display has a matte finish, which helps reduce glare, but we found the viewing angles to be limited to pretty much directly in front of the notebook -- move even a little in any direction, and the image began to wash out. When watching the trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises," colors were fairly bright, but we noticed pixelation in darker areas, Toshiba Chromebook CB35-A3120 adapter and contrast wasn't as high as we'd like. It costs considerably more, but the 1600 x 900 screen on the new Series 9 is miles better.The stereo speakers above the keyboard kicked out a good amount of sound. Rock tracks such as AC/DC's "Have a Drink on Me" and Jay-Z's "U Don't Know" came through clear, with vocals, mids and highs crisp. Bass was lacking, as it typical for systems this thin, but the audio has plenty of punch.

Battery Life
Aside from a thin profile, one of the other defining characteristics of Ultrabooks is that they have long battery life. Unfortunately, the Series 5 14-inch comes up a bit short. On the LAPTOP Battery Test (Web surfing via Wi-Fi),akku fur medion akoya e7218 the Series 5 lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes. That runtime is enough to get you through a good part of the day, but well short of Ultrabooks such as the HP Folio 13 (7:50), the Z835 (6:48) and the UX31 (5:58). The Series 5 also lasts shorter than the thin-and-light notebook average (6:12).

Lenovo G505s Review

The Lenovo G505s has some excellent features such as performance, screen quality and the comfortable keyboard, all good for a laptop in this price range. Read our Lenovo G505s review to find out more.
Ever since the launch of Windows 8, PC manufacturers have been trying to sell us expensive Ultrabooks and tablets, and convertible tablets that think they're Ultrabooks. However, the top-selling laptops still tend to be unglamorous 15-inch models that sell for £500.00 or less, such as Lenovo's G-Series of 'everyday' AD-4019SL charger laptops. See also Group test: what's the best budget laptop?
Prices for the G-Series start at around £349.00 for a model with an AMD A4 processor, 4GB of memory and 1TB hard drive, but we tested the new G505s, which costs £499.00 with an A10 processor running at 2.5GHz, 8GB of memory and 1TB hard drive. The G-Series also includes one 17-inch model, which costs an extra £50.00, for people who need a larger screen. Take a look at The 8 best laptops of 2013.You're not going to get anything fancy for that sort of price, hp 714159 001 but the G505s gets all the basics right. The laptop's case is made out of plastic, but it has a smart matte-black finish and feels sturdy enough to withstand the occasional bump in a backpack. The keyboard is firm and comfortable, and was large enough to let me type at full speed when I took the G505s down to my local wifi watering hole. My only complaint here is that the trackpad isn't very sensitive, and you sometimes need to give it a good firm tap in order to click a button or launch an app.

It's also rather heavy, weighing 2.4Kg and measuring 28mm thick when folded flat. However, that's about average for a 15-inch laptop with a built-in DVD drive such as this, and the weight was just about manageable when I took it to my wifi bar for an afternoon. It's certainly no Ultrabook, though, and a laptop of this size and weight is going to spend most of its time indoors.
Battery life Panasonic ES-LA54 adapter is also a little disappointing. A laptop like this ought to have room for a reasonably large battery, but the under-sized battery in the G505s provides a capacity of just 41Whr, and could only manage three hours (180mins) of streaming video on the BBC iPlayer. More casual web browsing or running Microsoft Office apps might allow you to stretch that out for another hour, but that's still quite poor even for a laptop in this price range. Our recent review of budget laptops found that 4-5 hours of streaming video was quite common, so the G505s certainly leaves room for improvement there.
The screen is good for a laptop in this price range, though. It's not touch-sensitive, and the 1366x768 resolution isn't ideal on a 15.6-inch display such as this, but those are acceptable compromises at this price. More importantly, the image is bright and clear, with viewing angles wide enough that you can browse the web or sit back and watch some streaming video without having to constantly adjust the screen. ac power adapter for hp f4580 And while I'm not entirely sure what a 'glare wedge' is, I was pleased to find that the screen of the G505s was less glossy and reflective than that of many laptops we've seen recently.

It's well connected too, with an Ethernet port for a wired network, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0, memory card slot and both HDMI and VGA ports for connecting a larger screen. There's no Bluetooth, though, so wireless connectivity is limited to 802.11 b/g/n.
Performance is relatively modest, with a PCMark 7 score of just 2700. But, to be fair, that score is largely a reflection on the 5400rpm hard drive, and the 2.5GHz AMD processor is more than adequate for web browsing and running Microsoft Office. The healthy 8GB of memory should also allow you to tackle more demanding tasks, such as the occasional spot of photo or video-editing, while the 1TB drive provides plenty of room for storing music, photos and videos.samsung r60 charger It can even handle a spot of casual gaming too, as the integrated Radeon HD8650G graphics managed a perfectly playable 35fps when running Stalker with medium graphics settings at 1280x720 resolution.

Maintenance
Access to the hardware is possible without any problems, since Lenovo integrated a big maintenance hatch. Behind the hatch, there is the hard drive, the RAM, the fan, the WLAN adapter, the APU and the dedicated GPU. Removing the fan for cleaning is possible. People who have the basic knowhow can also swap the APU.
The G505s comes with two RAM slots, just like the G500s. dell venue 11 pro power adapter One of the slots is occupied by a 4 GB module. The hard drive can easily be swapped. It is possible to use both hard drives with 7 and 9.5mm thickness. Further information for the maintenance and for swapping parts can be found in the accompanying Hardware Manual. This handbook not only covers the G505s, but also the G500s.
Dual-Channel Mode
The memory modules of modern APUs and CPUs support the so-called dual-channel mode. If there are two RAM modules installed in a computer, then they can be used simultaneously. This profits the whole system because optimally used the CPU and/or the integrated GPU give better results. At the same time, the frame rates of games would also increase. When the dual graphic mode is activated, the benchmark scores of acer aspire switch 10 charger
the G505s are not increased through the dual-channel mode. When the dedicated GPU is disabled and only the APU used, then the graphic performance increases.

OS and Recovery
Lenovo has installed Windows 8 (64-bit) on the G505s. A Windows-8-DVD is not included. Lenovo has set up their own system for repair and recovery, the so-called One-Key-Recovery-System. It is launched by pressing the One-Key-Recovery button when the notebook is turned off. This button is placed right next to the power button. When pressed, the notebook turns on and shows a menu. Here, the option "System recovery" can be chosen. The same menu also gives access to the BIOS.
HP Officejet 150 Mobile charger Lenovo has equipped the G505s with an AMD A6-5350M APU that is based on the Richland Architecture. The CPU part of the APU is a dual-core chip working at a base speed of 2.9 GHz. The speed can be increased up to 3.5 GHz (AMD Turbo Core). Thanks to a somewhat faster processing speed, the CPU should perform about 15% better than its predecessor AMD A6-4400M (Trinity). AMD gives a TDP of 35 Watts for the A6-5350M APU.

The CPU test of the Cinebench benchmarks tries to get the CPU to work with 3.5 GHz. This usually works for the single thread tests. Only occasionally the cores are throttled to the range of 1.4 up to 3.4 GHz. HP Officejet 150 Mobile chargerIn the multithread tests, the throttling occurs more often. The Pavilion (AMD A4-4355M, Radeon 7400G) is beaten in all tests. That is not very surprising as its chip is clocked much lower. Both notebooks cannot keep up with the Aspire (Core i3-3110M, GeForce GT 620M). It has the strongest CPU. All three notebooks perform similarly in the Cinebench 10 GL tests. In Cinebench R11.5 the G505s delivers the best values.

HP Chromebook 11 Review

While it's clearly not a high-end computer, the HP Chromebook 11 works hard to bring design and style into the Chrome OS universe. The laptop has a clean and modern look, with a glossy white plastic finish complemented by your choice of blue, green, yellow or red accents, which appear around the keyboard and in two pads on the bottom of the device.
I have Wi-Fi at home and at the office, samsung galaxy tab 2 charger nearly every hotel or coffee shop on the planet offers connectivity, and for the rare in-between times, my phone serves as a perfectly usable (if slightly awkward) mechanism for getting on the internet. The only time I can’t get online now is underground on the subway — and even that may not be true for long.
Meanwhile, my computer is increasingly becoming just a portal to the internet. I use Word and Outlook and Photoshop, but even those apps are designed to be perpetually connected and intertwined — and browser-based approximations of those apps are ever improving. Even PC games are meant to be played online. If I have no Wi-Fi, samsung np350v5c a0auk battery my MacBook Air feels pointless, empty.
This new order is one in which a Chromebook, an always-connected laptop that is explicitly designed to be used online, might actually make sense. And don’t look now, but the industry is noticing: Toshiba, Acer, Lenovo, and other manufacturers are announcing devices running Google’s Chrome OS, and Chromebooks are now used in 22 percent of US school districts and in countries around the world.
The new head of the lineup, the device designed to unseat last year’s lenovo x1 carbon battery replacement Samsung Chromebook at the top of the Amazon best-seller list, is the HP Chromebook 11. At $279, this 11.6-inch laptop is priced to move. And if it’s “just a web browser,” it’s a beautiful one.
Google’s on a mission to connect the world to the internet, by hook or by crook. (Or by balloon.) The Chromebook 11 is our end of the wire.

Before the Chromebook 11, sub-$500 Chromebooks seemed like the sort of stuff that fell out the back of an abandoned CompUSA. nexus 7 2013 battery They were Netbook-like, unattractive, and to make things worse, they ran a funky mostly online-only operating system. The Chromebook Pixel is a much more finely designed beast, but at over $1,000, it's well off any sensible person's radar.
The Chromebook 11 is a clean, colorful device, with looks that fall somewhere between any MacBook and kid-friendly PC. lenovo y50 battery The Chromebook 11 doesn't have any visible speakers or vents, and only a few ports -- an intentional move, giving this product a seamless, smooth appearance. You can pick from glossy black or glossy white -- the white comes with yellow, red, blue, or green color highlights, which ring the keyboard and tint two rubberized bottom pads.
The laptop feels very plastic, but at 2.3 pounds it's also very light. dell venue 8 charger Google says there's a magnesium frame underneath, but it's hard to tell. It feels sturdy enough, but still resembles a budget product. It seems kid-friendly and somewhat able to withstand a knock-around.
Basically, Google's and HP's smart bet with the HP Chromebook 11 was to make the whole product seem much more like a laptop-esque tablet than a cheap laptop. From its Micro-USB port to its clean color-accented plastic, it feels like the smaller cousin to the Pixel, part of a new Chromebook family. It even has the same four-color rainbow bar on the back lid, a small Chrome touch.

The Chromebook 11 may only cost $279, but its design is still impressive. The glossy plastic lid and back are uninterrupted by screws, vents or any other components, lending the machine a modern, classy air. Of course, as soon as your greasy fingers hit the plastic, things look a little less pristine. hp thin client t610 power supply cord There are no moving parts here, and the smooth design reflects that -- compare this guy to Samsung's Chromebook from late last year, and you'll get the picture. It's hard not to see hints of the old plastic MacBook of the mid-aughts here; the rounded edges and reflective finish aren't exactly revolutionary design choices, after all. Google leaves its own mark on this device, though: both the rim around the island-style keyboard and two rubber strips on the backside are done up in one of four accent colors (your choice of blue, green, red or yellow).
Even knowing that the Chromebook 11 is super light (2.3 pounds, or 1.04kg, to be exact), g75vx battery I was still surprised at how insubstantial it felt in my hands. As someone who squeezes a 13-inch Ultrabook into a work bag every day, I definitely appreciate this laptop's portable size. Thinness isn't the selling point with this machine, but at 11.69 x 7.56 x 0.69 inches (297 x 192 x 12.6mm), it's definitely not bulky. t440s charger There's a magnesium frame on board, which goes a long way in helping the machine feel sturdy despite the featherweight profile. That's not to say you're getting the same build quality as a $1,000 Ultrabook; the plastic lid occasionally creaks under pressure.
With the lid closed, the only distinguishing mark on this Chromebook is a strip sporting Chrome's four signature colors that lights up when the machine is in use. On the reverse side, you'll find two colorful rubber strips (in our case, red) along with Google and HP branding. Beyond that, the notebook is remarkably bare, with the left edge housing all the ports and connections. These include a combination headphone / mic jack, two USB 2.0 ports and a micro-USB connection with support for SlimPort video out. Incidentally, you'll be charging this device via micro-USB, which is extremely convenient if you're already carrying around a cable for your Android tablet or phone. (One comes in the box, in case you've managed to go through life without building a collection.) The downside is that charging up takes a long time; try about four hours. There's no SD card slot, but with just 16GB of on-board storage, you'll be relying more on Google Drive than local storage anyway.
Raise the lid, and you'll be face to face with the machine's 11.6-inch display, which is framed by a wide bezel sporting Chrome branding. nexus 7 2013 battery The chiclet keyboard takes up almost two-thirds of the palm rest, with a clickpad sitting just below it. And that's it from a physical standpoint; the design is simple, but in a satisfying, less-is-more way.
As an under-the-radar note: Google is releasing its first accessory designed in-house to go with the Chromebook 11. Don't expect anything elaborate, though: it's just a simple, if well-made, case available in black, blue / grey or red / grey. Sold separately, it will set you back $50. (Ouch.) Whether you choose to spring for this sleeve or not, it's a good idea to invest in some sort of protection, especially since the notebook will likely be on the road with you quite a bit.

Really, our only major akku fur medion akoya e7218 complaint is about power. It's not unreasonable to be demanding a full eight hours' use from a laptop today, and even if long battery life was never explicitly part of the promise of the Chromebook concept, it nevertheless feels wrong that you're using a lightweight alternative OS on a chip architecture famed for power-efficiency, and yet not getting stellar battery life.
The Micro USB charging is a nice touch (even though, grumble grumble, Micro-USB is a fiddle to connect) but however technically understandable it is, it's frustrating that when connected through essentially anything except the supplied charger, the Chromebook 11's battery actually runs down unless it's asleep or off.
What's more, the fact that you can't do anything other than slow the battery drain when daisy-chaining power through the SlimPort adapter if you've got it hooked up to an external display essentially precludes it from being a machine you regularly use as a main desktop PC.
The trackpad is x220t battery 3 cell occasionally a little jittery, and we've seen trackpads with its finish before now get shiny, worn patches through heavy use that makes them less responsive. We don't know if this would be the case here, but it's a concern.
The plastic case picks up fingerprints very easily, and those colour accents on the bottom, which look like they're going to be grippy, aren't; a missed opportunity to gently stop the laptop moving around on a table.
Finally, as always seems to be the case, details about the model that has 4G LTE built in are proving difficult to confirm, something that, despite the abilities of Chrome OS and some web apps to work offline, is a particular pain in a machine ostensibly designed with accessing the internet' as its sole task.

Review: Asus TP300LA

The Asus Transformer Book Flip TP300L is actually a nice searching Haswell powered laptop having a convertible screen, The Transformer Book Flip is Asus’s mainstream Adaptador Ordenador Portátil line for the rest of 2014 and also the TP300 will be the 13 inch model within this series, with 14 and 15 inch versions also accessible. They may be meant to supply very good value for the cash, so if you are around the industry for a Haswell laptop and do not would like to devote lots for 1, these units should undoubtedly be on your radar, subsequent for the Lenovo IdeaPad U and Flex 2 series, to name just a number of the direct competitors. the Transformer Book TP300 feels extremely well made for the mid-range laptop and perhaps much better polished and sturdier than the Vivobooks, the clamshell mid-range line of Asus Laptop ac adapters. However the convertible touchscreen, with the entire hinge mechanism, does add weight and bulk, and that could not be what a number of you are seeking in a 13 inch ultrabook.together with the 13.three inch IPS touch panel, vibrant, sharp and with good viewing angles. Its HardwareID is CMN1361 and it appears like a new panel, not one of those Asus applied on their earlier laptops. We received a assessment version of this device that didn't make use of the standard packaging for this model.

there’s a small distinction among similarly configured vgp ac10v10 and TP300LD version, about 25-50 euro or so. Also, keep in mind that essentially the most very affordable version within this series, comes having a 1366 x 768 PX TN screen and Wi-Fi N only, although all the other function the IPS panel described in this review and quicker Wi-Fi AC. the Asus TP300 sacrifices the light-weight for the convertible type element, with no in fact excelling as a tablet, so you'll want to ask your self if that is a selection you'd be happy with. the vgp ac19v35 is imh a solid laptop for the cash. But I’d adore to know what do you guys take into consideration this Asus Transformer Book Flip TP300, so be sure to leave your opinions under as well as your concerns, should you have any; I’ll be around to reply. A single microphone is situated in the screen frame, two speakers are discovered around the underside and 3 indicator lights might be discovered on the front edge on the TP300L. No specific security options are incorporated within the ASUS TP300L and that consists of the ommision of a TPM module. Provided that there is not a VPro or Windows eight.1 Pro version accessible this really is to become expected.

the keyboard is unquestionably excellent on this adattatore alimentatore Asus laptop, with deep adequate travel and appropriate feedback. The keys are totally flat, properly spaced and also a bit plasticky. The trackpad is pretty great as well, correctly separated from the palm-rest by some beveled metallic cuts, smooth, accurate and comfortable to use the majority of the time, particularly if you rely heavily on taps and not on actual clicks. Taping it harder or truly clicking it will outcome in clunks, and gestures are not generally effectively recognized .A rather smaller and slow 128 GB SSD , which does not leave that substantially area for your own content soon after installing Windows and usual programs, but the speed bump over a frequent hard-drive is appreciated. the carica batteria sleekbook b119sl provides a dual-band Wi-Fi AC wireless module for the leading configurations (the base version nonetheless will have to settle for Wi-Fi N), plus Bluetooth. There’s no LAN either and my unit did not contain any adapters within the package, like most Zenbooks do, but I can not say for positive no matter whether the final retail units will include some or not. It is going to probably differ from country to country.The adattatore alimentatore Lenovo Yoga paved the way for 2 in 1 devices with its robust dual hinge design, it had been tried in the past, but never ever with the same premium appear and really feel.

The TP300 will not take quite a few praises for its slender body. In actual fact, it strategies the scales at three.85 pounds, is about 22 mm (0.9 inch) thick and its rectangular footprint is rather tall for a 13 incher, mostly dues to its hinge, but we’ll get to that in a second., the alimentation hp envy x2 11 -g080ef is pretty attractive. It has some scents of Macbook Pros and a few common Asus lines. Metal is used for the lid cover, a dark brushed sheet of metal that should catch fingerprints and smudges like crazy. On the sides you’ll find pretty a couple of ports, including three USBs, HDMI, a card-reader, a Kensington Lock, the Energy Button, plus a Windows button and also a volume rocker. the batterie samsung r530 is pretty appealing. It has some scents of Macbook Pros and some common Asus lines. Metal is used for the lid cover, a dark brushed sheet of metal which will catch fingerprints and smudges like crazy. A big, attractive touchpad involves integrated mouse buttons and multi-touch capability. The mouse clicks demand high pressure, are loud and definite but given that touch-to-click as well as a two-finger tap to right-click is readily available you have got the most effective of both worlds.

the chargeur asus t100 feels wonderful and carefully put together to get a laptop in this cost range, with couple of exceptions. The joint between the aluminum unibody and the plastic rear isn't best and leaves some exposed sharp edges that might catch the wondering finger. The tablet mode nonetheless is flawed on this unit and hopefully that’s simply because we’re dealing with a pre-production sample. It comes in alternatives from Core i5 to Core i7 and is only 15.5mm thick. The design and style involves a dual hinge system that makes it possible for every hinge to only rotate 180 degrees, creating superior tension all through the complete variety of movement whilst rotating a full 360 degree rotation. The screen is will not be adequately fixed in location within this mode and tends to wobble when touched. The da130pe1 00 trackpad is pretty fantastic at the same time, properly separated from the palm-rest by some beveled metallic cuts, smooth, precise and comfy to work with most of the time, particularly if you rely heavily on taps and not on actual clicks. We all know that makers often bundle applications that you may possibly never use. That wouldn't be so terrible if they didn't so typically slow down your device and worsen the user practical experience.

Port positioning is focused onto the correct side in the unit exactly where two USB 3.0 ports, a full-size HDMI, energy and headset port are positioned. Around the other side you will come across a complete size SD card slot, USB 2.0 port and Kensignton lock port. The ASUS Transformer Book Flip isn't what we would call rugged nevertheless it looks to become make to a larger standard than typical.The Acer Aspire V5-122P batterie Transformer Book Flip TP300L together with the Core i7, 8GB of RAM plus the Nvidia GeForce 820M delivers an thrilling level of possible performance however it really should be noted that this laptops overall performance is still within the Ultrabook class and hence only includes a dual-core U-series CPU.

The caricabatterie samsung rv510 keyboard itself is painfully plastic and not exactly a joy to form on, but taking into consideration the price point, it could've been significantly worse. The trackpad was a little bit sticky and tough to click and conveniently the Achilles' heel on both the devices.The touchpad is big, but feels a bit loose and I obtain right-click becoming confused for left-click a little as well typically.

HP Spectre XT Touchsmart 15-4010nr Review

Design and Features
There have been several really nice-looking Windows 8 laptops samsung np350v5c battery in the first six months of the Windows 8 era, including the Acer Aspire S7 , the Lenovo Yoga , and the Asus Taichi . But most of these have been 13- and 14-inch laptops, or inventive hybrids. Bigger-screened laptops have been less common, and most of those, from the Dell Inspiron 15z to the Acer V5 , have been more functional than flattering.
The Spectre XT is a design-first laptop, and builds on the visual language of Hewlett-Packard's last few years of higher-end systems. Envy used to be the highest-end HP line, but now that's been overshadowed by the Spectre, although the two names are sometimes used together, as in the case of the Envy Spectre. dell venue 8 pro charger There's also the XT modifier used on some HP laptops, to indicate "extra thin," I suppose. In any case, this system has two of the three names HP uses to identify high-end systems (no "Envy" this time), so it's not surprising that buyers are being asked to cross that all-important $1,000 mark.
The Spectre XT has an all-metal body, with a brushed design on the lid and keyboard tray, and what feels like a powder-coated bottom panel. It carries the official Intel ultrabook label, which means it meets certain guidelines for CPU, thickness, and internal storage -- but many new Windows 8 laptops are either ultrabooks or very close (we call those near-misses fauxtrabooks). The practical effect is that consumers have a much wider range of thin, light laptops to choose from than ever before, both in the $700-to-$800 range and higher-priced systems like the $1,299 HP Spectre.
Sarah Tew/CNET
The keyboard is of the standard island-style variety, with the same HP-specific touches found on nearly every current VGP-AC10V10 adapter HP laptop, including rounded keys at each of the four outer corners of the keyboard, and a separate row on the far right side of Page Up, Page Down, and other navigation keys. Helpfully backlit, the keyboard's ease of use is further helped by large Shift, Tab, and Backspace keys, and the Function keys are "reversed," meaning their more useful alternate commands, such as volume and brightness control, become the primary functions.
The touch pad is of the buttonless clickpad variety, but HP's most recent laptops have had a unique look with the rectangular touch surface set in the middle of a larger depression in the wrist rest. The matte surface offers enough resistance without being sticky, and two-finger scrolling is smooth, Lenovo X220 battery something that often trips up Windows laptops.
The 15.6-inch display has a full 1,920x,1080-pixel resolution, which is as high as current consumer laptops get, and exactly what one should expect in this price range. The $900 Dell Inspiron 15z I mentioned as a less expensive alternative has only a 1,366x768 resolution, which would automatically rule it out for a lot of people, especially those interested in Photoshop work or viewing full-HD video. The IPS screen is covered by edge-to-edge touch-sensitive glass, and looks great even from extreme side angles, although it's very glossy and reflects a lot of light.
The Beats-branded speakers are another HP mainstay. With four internal speakers, the system gets reasonably loud and deep, although with such a thin chassis there's only so much air you can move, so don't expect significant amounts of bass.

Performance
HP Spectre XT Touchsmart 15-4010nr The 15-4010nr comes with an Intel Core i7-3517u processor (the faster-clocked brother of the i5-3317u found in many ultrabooks), 8GB of DDR3 memory, and Intel HD Graphics 4000. These components plus the hard drive+SSD combo gives the system a bit of oomph when you need it. The 15-4010nr is one of the better performers at the PCMark 7 test (4,720 points), coming as one of the fastest systems we've seen with a hard drive. To get faster, you'd need to be using a SSD-equipped system like the Vizio CT14-A2 (4,819) or the Acer Aspire S7-391-9886 (5,090). The 15-4010nr was also fast at the multimedia tests like Handbrake (1:33) and Photoshop CS6 (4:51). samsung galaxy s5 car charger Both scores put the 15-4010nr near the top of the ultrabook category.
The 15-4010nr comes in at the top of the heap on the 3DMark 11 test, and is at the top for our two gaming tests, Aliens vs. Predator and Heaven, but like on the comparable ultrabooks with integrated graphics, the 15-4010nr really can't produce playable frame rates at the games. Translated, this means that the system can play older games, but you'll have to forgo playing the toughest games with advanced features.
Another stumble is the 15-4010nr's battery life. The system only managed 4 hours 3 minutes at our battery rundown test. This is two hours less than the EC-winning Asus Zenbook Prime Touch UX31A-BHI5T (6:34). The 15-4010nr will get you most of the way across the country on a flight, but not all the way.asus usb t100ta ac adaptor
The HP Spectre XT TouchSmart 15-4010nr is a good choice if you need multimedia creation power with a relatively large screen. The packed-in video software boosts the system's overall score, since the hobbyist won't have to worry about photo or video editing software. The two-year subscription to Internet Security is also a huge plus. Unfortunately, the extra hours of battery life and performance boost from its SSD give the Asus Zenbook Prime Touch UX31A-BHI5T the extra points to let it hold on to its crown as out high-end ultrabook Editors' Choice.

Hardware
Before we get into the specs of the notebook, lets first talk bout the notebook itself. The TouchSmart looks really nice, albeit a bit similar to the HP Envy Spectre XT, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. HP has the TouchSmart decked out in an aluminum and brushed silver finish. The lid of the notebook has a shiny silver Asus G550JK Battery HP logo and there is also the "Hewlett Packard' branding on the side. While the outside is pretty muted in terms of brands and logos, the inside has a little bit more going on. That is not to say HP went overboard, but there are two Beats Audio logos and two HP logos on the inside.
Otherwise, the notebook has what you want and need and it has all the items in places that seem to make sense. You have the standards such as the keyboard and trackpad, however the speakers, power button, air vents and all ports are nicely placed. And in the case of the ports, they are nicely laid out for easy access. Take for example, we found it a plus to have USB ports on both sides of the notebook.
The keyboard itself was nicely spaced and to be honest, rather comfortable to type on. The keyboard is also backlit. The same can be said about the trackpad (which happens to be glass) as it just worked nicely. The trackpad performed well for everything from scrolling to Windows 8 gestures and it even has an integrated left and right click option. Of course, while the trackpad can be used for gestures and scrolling -- this particular notebook does ship with a touchscreen display.

Software
Shifting over to the software and we start with a 64-bit edition of Windows 8. That of course is to say that you will see the now familiar array of tiles. In this respect there isn't much in terms of surprise, the notebook has the usual array of shortcuts such as Games, Music, Video and Camera as well as Internet Explorer, Mail, Messaging, Calendar, SkyDrive and the Store. Plus, you will find some third party goodies including Netflix, Kindle, eBay and a few othersmedion akoya p7624 akku.
Perhaps the nicer part here is the additional software that has been installed. HP ships the Spectre XT TouchSmart with the full versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. Users will also be able to find help in the form of the HP Support Assistant app, which is a default tile.

User rating

• • • • • Granted, as far as “premium” notebooks go, $1,400 isn’t that high a price. The fancy-schmancy Toshiba Kirabook that we reviewed last month was two grand. And like that one, the Spectre XT comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, two years of Norton AV, and dedicated support service.
        • Aside from the t440s charger HP Spectre XT TouchSmart’s battery life, the overall experience was rather pleasant and comfortable. Not only did the notebook perform well, but it did so looking really nice ― both in terms of the exterior casing and the quality of the display. While we wouldn’t hesitate to offer a recommendation, we could see the price being an issue for some. That is not to say the Spectre XT TouchSmart isn’t worth what HP is asking, but just that there are plenty of less expensive options to choose from.
        • HP is clearly marketing the toshiba l750 chargerHP Spectre XT TouchSmart to the Ultrabook-cool crowd, but it doesn’t quite fit. It looks great when it’s sitting here on my desk―hooked up to external speakers and a power block―but it’s hardly something I’d want to tote around with me on a regular basis. And it would definitely need to have better battery life, speaker quality, and weight before it could really be called an Ultrabook.
        • Fitting the words "15.6-inch screen" and "ultrabook" into the same sentence takes some doing. A month ago, we saw Asus manage the feat with the Zenbook UX51VZ-DH71$1,999.00 at Sears. HP delivers a 15-inch, high-resolution, touch-screen ultrabook―well, if you allow 5 pounds to qualify as an ultrabook―with Core i7 power at a reasonable price. There's even a Thunderbolt port. What's not to like?
