Display des Toshiba Tecra M9 im unteren Klassendurchschnitt ein. Akku , AC Adapter Für den Einsatz im Freien ist der Bildschirm des Toshiba-Notebooks eindeutig zu dunkel. Mit ungünstigen Lichtverhältnissen - voll einstrahlende Sonne oder künstliche Lichtquellen - hat das Panel dank seiner matten Oberfläche aber keine Probleme.

Summa Summarum kann das Display des Toshiba Tecra M9 nicht mit der Konkurrenz mithalten. Schlechter Kontrast, maue Farben und enge Blickwinkel – so machen Multimediaanwendungen keinen Spaß. Immerhin lässt sich dank der matten Akku toshiba,toshiba AC Adapter

Leistung

Das Toshiba Tecra M9 vertraut als technische Basis auf Intels Centrino-Mobiltechnologie der vierten Generation (Codename: Santa Rosa). Als Hauptprozessor werkelt in der von uns getesteten Konfiguration ein Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 mit zwei Recheneinheiten zu je 1,80 GHz Taktfrequenz. Das schnelle Rechenherz kann auf 2 MByte L2-Cache zurückgreifen und wird über einen 800 MHz schnellen Bus an den Intel-GM965-Chipsatz (Codename: Crestline) angebunden.

Um die Grafikausgabe kümmert sich in unserem Testnotebook eine Intel GMA X3100. Akku fujitsu,fujitsu AC Adapter

Dieser in den Chipsatz integrierte Grafikkern kommt auf Grund seines geringen Strombedarfs in den meisten Akku dell,dell AC Adapter Office- und Subnotebooks der neuen Santa-Rosa-Generation zum Ersatz. Wie sein direkter Vorgänger GMA950 verfügt der Chip über keinen eigenen Grafikspeicher und zweigt sich daher permanent einen kleinen Teil des Arbeitsspeichers als Speicherort für Texturdaten ab. In aufwändigen 3D-Applikationen und 3D-Spielen steigert der Chip diesen Wert dann je nach Bedarf auf bis zu 358 MByte – sofern verfügbar. Akku apple,apple AC Adapter

Leistungstechnisch hinkt die Grafiklogik leistungsstärkeren Grafikkarten mit eigenem dadurch Speicher natürlich weit hinterher. Akku dell,dell AC Adapter Einige in die Jahre gekommene Spiele laufen dennoch recht passabel, solange sie mit Windows Vista und dem etwas wählerischen Grafiktreiber zusammenarbeiten.

Unser Testnotebook ist ab Werk mit einem Gigabyte Arbeitsspeicher ausgerüstet, der auf je zwei 512 MByte große DDR2-Module verteilt ist. Für die tägliche Arbeit mit Windows Vista reicht dieser Ausbau in der Regel aus - aber nicht im Fall des Toshiba Tecra M9. Akku sony,sony AC Adapter

Denn neben den zahlreichen Sicherheitsprogrammen muss das Akku hp compaq,hp compaq AC Adapter Notebook beim Systemstart auch zahlreiche weitere Tools und Testversionen mit in den Arbeitsspeicher laden. Im Systray neben der Uhr reihen sich beim ersten Start immerhin ganze 17 (!) Symbole auf. Die Deinstallation der Testversionen von Norton Internet Security 2007 und Microsoft Office 2007 sowie die Bereinigung des Autostarts schaffen hier aber schnell Abhilfe. Die Bootzeit verkürzt sich im Test dann auch von schier endlosen dreieinhalb Minuten auf knapp 90 Sekunden. Akku Lenovo/IBM,Lenovo/IBM AC Adapter

Immer noch kein Spitzenwert, aber in Anbetracht der zahlreichen Akku asus,asus AC Adapter Sicherheitstools akzeptabel. Auch das ständige Geratter auf der Festplatte bekommen wir so schnell in den Griff. So flüssig wie manch anderes Notebook seiner - theoretischen - Leistungsklasse arbeitet des Toshiba Tecra M9 im Test aber trotz dieser Maßnahmen dennoch nicht.

In unserer Benchmark-Suite schneidet das Toshiba-Notebook entsprechend seiner Kernkomponenten durchschnittlich ab. Akku acer,acer AC Adapter

Im allumfassenden Crystalmark2004RE fährt es ebenso wie im Akku Acer Aspire Timeline 5830T PCMark05 mit 57493 respektive 3068 Leistungspunkten eine mäßige Wertung ein. Nur in den grafiklastigen Applikationen muss es wegen der langsamen Grafikeinheit von Intel Federn lassen. 508 Punkte im aktuellen 3DMark06 sorgen bei Computerspielern jedenfalls nicht für Begeisterungsstürme.

Benchmarkvergleich 3D Mark 2005

Benchmarkvergleich PC Mark 2005Als Massenspeicher greift das Toshiba Tecra M9 auf eine Serial-ATA-Festplatte von Hitachi zurück. Die HDD arbeitet in unserem Notebook-Test klassenüblich mit einer Rotationsgeschwindigkeit von 5.400 U/min, kann auf 8 MByte Cache zurückgreifen und bietet eine Bruttokapazität von 80 GByte. In unserem synthetischen Leistungstest mittels Akku Acer Aspire 1420P

HD Tune liest die Festplatte ihre Daten im Akku Apple MacBook 13 inch Durchschnitt mit guten 38 MByte/s die Sekunde aus und greift in 16,5 ms überdurchschnittlich schnell auf selbige zu. Auch Windows Vista erkennt die Potenz des kleinen Speichermediums und verleiht ihm mit 4,9 Leistungspunkten eine sehr hohe Einzelwertung. Während des Betriebs macht das Laufwerk nur durch seine gute Performance auf sich aufmerksam, denn zu hören ist es selbst im Zugriff zu gut wie nie. Akku Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch

Gegen Erschütterungen im laufenden Betrieb schützt den empfindlichen Akku Asus K50I Massenspeicher ein ausgeklügeltes Sicherheitskonzept mit Bewegungssensor. Erkennt dieses System beispielsweise bei einem Sturz zu starke Beschleunigungskräfte, parkt es die Festplatteköpfe vollautomatisch neben den empfindlichen Daten-Plattern. Ein Aufsetzen der Köpfe auf den Speicherplatten - der so genannte „Headcrash“ - kann so im Falle eines härteren Aufpralls meist vermieden werden. Akku Asus K50ID

Leider reagiert das System in der Akku DELL Latitude E6120 Werkseinstellung recht empfindlich und nervt uns bei jeder kleineren Bewegung mit einer entsprechenden Warnmeldung. Eine etwas weniger aggressive Schutzstufe schafft hierbei aber schnell Abhilfe, ohne die Funktion an sich zu torpedieren.

Optische Medien verarbeitet im Toshiba-Notebook ein DVD-Brenner von Matshita. Der UJ-852S kann CDs laut Toshiba mit bis zu 24-facher Geschwindigkeit lesen und beschreiben. Wiederbeschreibbare CD-RW-Medien brennt er maximal 16-fach – sofern der Rohling dies unterstützt. Akku DELL Latitude E6220

Einmal beschreibbare DVD-Medien beschreibt der Brenner klassenüblich mit bis zu 8-facher, Akku DELL Latitude E6320 DVD-RWs immerhin mit bis zu 6-facher Geschwindigkeit. Umfangreichere Datensicherungen können bei Bedarf auch auf doppelschichtigen DVD-DL-Rohlingen oder besonders haltbaren DVD-RAMs erfolgen. Für den Brenner stellen alle diese Schreibformate kein Problem dar.

Wem das Laufwerk beim Einlesen der Medien dabei zu laut agiert, Akku DELL Latitude E6520

der kann die Drehzahl mit dem hauseigenen Tool CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Akku DELL Latitude E6420 Silencer auf Kosten der Leistung etwas absenken. Wird der Brenner nicht gebraucht, kann er modular gegen einen Zusatzakku (rund 160 Euro) oder eine Festplatte (Kosten für Adapter ohne Festplatte: rund 60 Euro) austauschen. Toshibas Modulschacht Slim SelectBay macht es möglich.

Das Toshiba Tecra M9 präsentiert sich während unseres Praxistests als vorbildlicher Leisetreter. Akku Amilo Pi 1505

Ganz gleich, ob wir das Notebook stundenlang mit umfangreichen Akku Amilo Pi 2512 Berechnungen beschäftigen, einfach nur im Internet surfen oder uns an ein 3D-Spiel wagen - vom ultraleisen Systemlüfter und der ebenso unscheinbaren Festplatte ist im Test so gut wie nie etwas zu hören. Selbst aus nächster Nähe klärt meist nur ein Blick auf die Statusanzeige an der Front, ob das Notebook derzeit wirklich gerade angeschaltet ist oder noch im Ruhezustand vor sich herschlummert. Hervorragend!

Temperatur

An der Oberseite hielten sich die gemessenen Maximaltemperaturen in Grenzen. Im hinteren Bereich konnten hier Höchstwerte von 39.5°C gemessen werden. Akku Compaq Presario M2100

An der Geräteunterseite kam es im Test zu deutlich höheren Erwärmungen. Akku Compaq Presario V2000 Der Maximalwert konnte an der Unterseite im zentralen Bereich festgestellt werden und betrug 45.4°C.

Das Toshiba Tecra M9 mit 65 Watt Netzteil entpuppt sich als kleiner Stromfresser. Denn sobald es am Stromnetz hängt, zieht es laut unseren Messungen im Test permanent rund 20 Watt aus der Steckdose. Es macht dabei keinen Unterschied, ob es überhaupt mit dem Notebook verbunden ist oder allein sein Dasein an der Steckdose fristet. Wir können daher nur empfehlen, Akku Compaq Presario V2000Z

das Netzgerät bei Nichtgebrauch immer unverzüglich auszustecken oder über einen Akku IBM ThinkPad R40 Kippschalter physikalisch vom Stromnetz zu trennen. Über das Jahr gesehen können sich sonst unnötige Stromkosten von bis zu 30 Euro aufhäufen.

Im Akkutest schlägt sich das Tecra M9 hingegen wacker. Dem kleinen und mit 55 Wattstunden relativ schwachen 6-Zellen-Akku entlockt es im anspruchslosen Reader’s Test des Battery Eaters dank genügsamer Akku Toshiba Satellite T235D

Office assistant A simple office assistant which focuses on what's important. Graphics, docking options and subwoofers are superflous here. Instead, this unit provides a matt 1.600x900 pixel display and perfect ergonomics. Big-Screen Office for everyone?DELL Vostro 3700 Battery

Toshiba Satellite Pro L670-170: Big screen office assistant from 629 EuroThe Satellite Pro is synonymous with office Notebooks for end-users and organizations. DELL XPS 14 Battery Having received a Satellite Pro L670-170 we now have chance to look at a 17.3“ unit which is neither incredibly powerful, nor suitable for games. We are more interested in seeing how the matt display, manageable input devices and high level WXGA++ resolution add up to an affordable office assistant. Are the 629 Euros worth paying? You will find out all the strengths and weaknesses of this test unit in this review.DELL XPS 15 Battery

Simple,DELL XPS 17 Battery monotonous designEsthetically, the Toshiba Satellite Pro L670 gives off that "plasticy" feeling that one would expect from an economical office device. The matt finish only "comes to life" thanks to a few stickers and the white characters on the keyboard. There is not one single glossy surface to be seen. DELL XPS L401x Battery Even the display has a matt finish to it. There are no frills such as silver lines, bright LEDs or extravagantly styled power switches. The black openings for the speakers try to break up the monotonous design, but they don’t quite succeed. Even the manufacturers logo was simply printed onto the display cover, instead of being embossed with silver lettering. DELL XPS L501x Battery

The inconspicuous design does have its advantages however. There is nothing to divert you from that urgent report that needs doing, and the textured plastic surfaces are impervious to scratches and fingerprints. The lid is a nice surprise as well as its texture makes it very grippy. The underside of the case has the same texture as well. DELL XPS L701x Battery

The work surface and underside of the housing are notably rigid.DELL Inspiron N7010 Battery The palm rest barely warps at all. Unlike many of its large counterparts, the area above (number pad), and below the DVD player could not be pushed in either. Toshiba actually had the chassis strengthened underneath the drive to make this possible. The case made no unpleasant noises when lifting or moving the laptop around. Even with two hands we didn’t manage to twist the main enclosure at all. DELL Inspiron 17R Battery

The lid is held in place by two, stiff hinges. There is no locking mechanism which means that it could open during transport. The heavy display sways a lot when shaken which could be an issue when trying to work in a vehicle which is moving over a rough surface. The maximum opening angle of 140 degrees is more than enough when working with the laptop on ones lap.Dell Inspiron 13R Battery

The number and variation of interfaces we found won’t be winning it any prizes, but at least eSATA and HDMI are included. Most of the interfaces are on the left side of the housing. This is also where users will find the Ethernet-RJ45 for the network card, as well as the VGA connection for the external TFT and the eSATA/USB interfaces for fast external drives.Dell Inspiron N3010 Battery

There are two USB ports located on the right side of the case next to the audio ports. That already concludes the list as there are no further connectivity options at the front or back of our test unit. Dell Inspiron N3010D-148 Battery

Most office users won’t ever need more than what has been provided. Dell Inspiron N3010D-168 BatteryThe inconvenient location of the interfaces towards the front of the side panels is not ideal however. If one were using the HDMI, eSATA (on the left), as well as two USB devices and external loudspeakers (on the right), it would definitely not look very pretty. If one now also needed an external mouse, this esthetic problem, would suddenly become a practical one. Considering that the Satellite Pro is aimed at office users, the availability and chosen locations of these ports is rather unfortunate, especially as there is no optional docking station.Dell Inspiron N3010D-178 Battery

The wireless and network connectivity is not up to today’s standards but sufficient for home and office use. The Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (10 MBit/s & 100 MBit/s), does not support Gigabit-LAN and the Bluetooth module is still of the 2.1+EDR veriaty. The wireless does support Draft-N however (Broadcom 802.11n).Dell Inspiron N3010R Battery

Besides the notebook and the power supply, one will also find a manual and recovery DVD. The latter is however not for the pre-installed windows 7 (64bit), but for XP Professional. Retro fans can therefore go back in time if they wish, but we would not recommend it. The purchase of the Windows 7 license would also have been for nothing. Dell Inspiron 14R Battery

The Pro L670 only has a one year warranty. In Germany and Austria this includes a collect and return service which is initiated after one has called the Toshiba notebook hotline. This can be extended to 3 or 4 years (64 and 109 Euros respectively), which includes the cost of parts and service.Dell Inspiron N4010 Battery

The keyboard of our 17“ laptop will not fulfill the expectations of a demanding user. The short keystroke and vague pressure point do not provide very good feedback while typing. Despite this, the main obstacle to creating a more positive typing experience, is the fact that the keyboard gives way over its entire surface. Dell Inspiron N4010D Battery

The keys are generously sized and thanks to the clear, white lettering it is also convenient to use for those who cannot touch-type. A large number pad with standard layout is provided which makes entering numbers and using the calculator much easier. Toshiba has moved the arrow keys well away from the above lying Shift key. For this we will give it some extra points.Dell Inspiron N4010D-148 Battery

The viewing angle stability is, for a TN panel, well within expected ranges. One can recognize display contents quite well on the horizontal, though shifts in color and brightness have to be contended with. On the vertical the display fades or inverts very quickly and at extreme angles quickly becomes unreadable., Samsung Q320 battery,

Samsung Q322 battery,The top model in the LIFEBOOK S761 series is equipped with an Intel Core i7-2620M processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM and a Solid State drive. The basis for all of this is Intel's QM67 chipset, which is equipped with typical business features such as AMT (Active Management Technology) or AT (Anti-Theft Technology). A discrete graphics module is not available, instead the processor-integrated Intel Graphics HD 3000 is responsible for video. Samsung R408 battery,

Samsung R410 battery The Intel Core i7-2620M CPU is currently the fastest mobile dual-core CPU, clocked at 2.7 GHz normally and higher (with help from Turbo Boost) in single-threaded applications to 3.4 GHz. Tasks that can take advantage of multiple cores profit from Hyperthreading technology which enables 4 simultaneous threads to be executed. As such, the optimal performance profile can be realized depending on application. In our comprehensive CPU benchmark list this processor currently ranks 28th, quite a powerful ranking., Samsung R453 battery,

iTunes conversionThe benchmark results, Samsung R458 battery, as expected, were excellent. wPrime 1024m reached completion in 496 seconds, superPi 32m computation in 648 seconds, Cinebench R11.5 CPU test resulted in 3.04 points and the conversion of our MP3 files into AAC format was done at 45.7x speed. Power loss when operating on battery power or when the battery is removed (powered only by the 80W AC adapter) was not ascertained. The CPU-performance is only to be topped by quad-core CPUs, as multi-threaded applications are better handled.Samsung R458R battery

The graphics performance of the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 is suitable for all tasks that aren't demanding games and professional software like CAD & Co. In 3D Mark Vantage it achieved 1704 points, in Cinebench R11.5 Open GL Shading 8.93 points and in Heaven 2.1 benchmark 7.9 fps. , Samsung R463 battery

Current games are only possible in lowered resolutions and with strongly reduced detail and quality levels. The graphics potential can be raised by installing a second RAM module, as the two-channel properties of the memory controller supports it. In 3D Mark Vantage the system scored 1976 points with the addition of a second RAM module and in Heaven 2.1 a score of 9.1 fps was achieved., Samsung R464 battery

When it comes to video conversion one is also well equipped with Intel's Quick Sync technology. Badaboom converted our test film from DVD into an iPhone compatible format in 681 seconds while Cyberlink was able to manage the same when converting from mk4v format to iPhone4-friendly mp4 in 244 seconds. Compared to straight CPU-based conversion there is both an advantage in speed as well as less CPU stress (see graphic).Samsung R465 battery

, Samsung R467 battery With respect to the application performance one doesn't have much to worry about thanks to the potent hardware. Photo editing, Office, internet, Skype, flash-videos, full-HD videos, databases and music do not present any problems whatsoever. In PC Mark Vantage an excellent score of 11556 points was achieved while PC Mark 7 also had a strong showing with 3725 points. With little effort one can, as already mentioned, raise the performance a bit with the addition of a second RAM-module to the system. Samsung R468 battery

The test model features a Solid State Drive from Toshiba with a 128GB capacity. Samsung R478 battery, In both other currently available configurations there exists only the choice of 320 or 500 GB hard drives. In comparison to the standard drives, the Toshiba SSD is clearly faster and achieves almost 200 MB/s sequential read speed and 160 MB/s continuous read speed. Conventional hard drives are perceptibly slower both here and also with their access speeds of 17ms to 0.2ms; despite this, the Toshiba model here is rather outclassed by current alternatives with read speeds of over 400 MB/s and access times under 0.1ms. Samsung R505 battery,

Samsung R510 battery, Purely speaking on performance it is thereby recommended that you configure the LIFEBOOK S761 in a less-expensive fashion and opt to install a Solid State Drive after purchase. Unlike the Lenovo X220, the S761 does not have the same 7mm drive height limitation--good news for people who store a great deal of data, as 9.5mm drives are currently available with capacities up to 1TB. We did not find it possible to install an additional hard drive in the neighboring bay.Samsung R507 battery,

One can only wish for a noise profile like this in a notebook: when the system is not being stressed or used the Fujitsu remains virtually silent. The measured 29.8 dB(A) is more reflective of the test surroundings than the notebook itself. Unfortunately the solid fan profile contributes to a red mark against the setup in many working scenarios. As soon as the solid state drive from Toshiba is busy, one begins to hear a chirping sound. Samsung R517 battery,

Samsung R518 battery,During short periods of access this is not very bothersome, but when it comes to longer data transfers it can certainly begin to get on one's nerves, as the sound is high-frequency and therefore uncomfortable. The fan bases its operation on the amount of system stress and produces between 33.1 dB(A) and 43.1 dB(A) under full load. Under high demand the air is expelled from the case in a turbine-like fashion, somewhat unlike the heretofore seen quiet characteristics of the fan. This isn't a particular problem, rather just different from what we have usually seen. The optical drive is comparatively more reserved, reaching a maximum of 36.1 dB(A). Samsung R519 battery,

Acer has basically set up a successful bundle with the Aspire 5750G, which especially stands out with an attractive performance for value ratio. Users who have demands on multimedia, but a tight budget could quite well be satisfied here.Acer Aspire 5735Z battery

Note: It can come to delays in delivery of the reviewed notebook due to the current problems of Intel's Sandy Bridge chipset. Further details and continually updated information about the situation can be found here.Acer Aspire 5738 battery

The benefits of Sandy Bridge paired with Optimus seem steep. The balancing act of performance and low power consumption is likely only matched by similar configurations. For example: Asus N53SV or the larger Acer Aspire 7750G with HD 6650 GPU.Acer Aspire 5738G battery

Mobile gaming. Mobile gaming. Performance like a DTR, yet battery life like a subnotebook. Sandy Bridge bans the waste of energy, calculates for eight machines and engages a 99 Wh battery for support. However, the HD 6850M has to strike sail in the game check.Acer Aspire 5738Z battery

Acer Aspire 7750G-2634G50Bnkk: Includes Sandy Bridge and AMD Radeon HD 6850M. A powerhouse that lacks conditionTo test or not to test, that is the question. Our present test device, Acer Aspire 7750G-2634G50Bnkk, is based on a Cougar Point chipset from the "Sandy Bridge" generation. Acer Aspire 5738ZG battery

As it has now been discovered and Intel also has admitted, it has faulty 3GBit/SATA/s-ports (that could possibly turn up sooner or later). See: Intel's defective Sandy Bridge Chipsets – status report.Acer Aspire 5740 battery

We opted for the test because the deterioration on the clock generator, which is the source of the Sandy Bridge defect, can't turn up on a brand new device. If at all, according to the latest information, a performance decrease or even deficient 3GBit/SATA ports will first turn up after months. Acer Aspire 5740DG battery

Short: The Acer Aspire 7750G with a Cougar Point chipset, like it's on our desk today, will have the same performance as an updated 7750G in April 2011. The revamped Intel chips are to be available for retail in the according PCs at the earliest at this point.Acer Aspire 5740G battery

So, we will occupy ourselves with an interesting combination of Core i7-2630QM (4x 2.00GHz), AMD Radeon HD 6850M and BluRay drive (read only). Will the 17 incher for almost 1000 euros present strong multimedia competence How will the HD 6850M measure up to its predecessor HD 5850 Also, find out how a system with a 45 watt CPU can provide mobility of 5 hours anyway.Acer Aspire AS5740 battery

BottomThe 7750G can sooner be described as a plain laptop. The 17 incher would pass as an unstriking office machine if it weren't for the strong hardware. The fairly slim case is adorned by a pressed-in haptical pattern on the work surface and lid. This provides a pleasant grip and for absolutely resists fingerprints and scratching ring fingers.Samsung AA-PB9NC6B Battery

The fairly thin case is adequately stable, even if not perfect. We don't like the yielding area above and beneath the BluRay drive. We can nevertheless twist the case when held in both hands. The wrist-rest can be depressed with a bit of pressure on the right, where the configuration sticker is.Samsung AA-PB9NC6W Battery

Flexibility continues in the lid. We can twist it by a few degrees. But then it doesn't budge any further. Pressure on the lid already provokes a clear yielding and pressure marks on the front. Samsung AA-PB9NC6W-E Battery

Although the hinges keep the lid in position, they teeter evidently. We can't call them tightly pulled. Quite contrarily, we fear that the lid won't constantly be held in position after a while of intensive use. The maximum opening angle is wide: 140 degrees.Samsung AA-PB9NS6B Battery

Four RAM bays, two unoccupiedInterfaces don't belong to one of the 7750G's strengths. The three USB ports suffice for printer, mouse or external hard disk. However, one of them (right) supports USB 3.0 (Renesas Electronics). eSATA or ExpressCard34/54 aren't installed. Samsung P210 Battery,

Righties and lefties could equally be on a collision course with the USB, as well as HDMI or VGA cables, when using a mouse. Ports in the rear positions would have deterred cable chaos on the desk. But this way, the USB port location is only practical for plugging in memory sticks. Anything else would clutter the desk with cables.Samsung P210-BA01 Battery

The fastest WLAN draft-n standard supports the 802.11 b/g/n wireless card from Atheros (AR5B97). It also includes an incorporated Bluetooth module (3.0 +HS). The Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller fits perfectly to the home gigabit switch. Thus, the 7750G is up to date in terms of network technology.Samsung P210-BA02 Battery

A few words about the upgrade option are due. We locate a total of four RAM bays for DDR3 modules underneath the large cover on the bottom. Theoretically, the i7-2630QM's memory controller can however only address up to 8 GB. DDR3-1066/1333. This gives the user the possibility of retrofitting the mentioned 8 GB with two inexpensive 2 GB modules for little money.Samsung P210-BS01 Battery

No DVDs are included merely a manual and warranty card. The buyer has to create the recovery DVD for backing up Windows Home Premium 64 bit himself. Acer's eRecovery Management leads you through this. A vast amount of tools and programs are on the hard disk, partly as test versions, like Office Home and Student 2010, NTI Maker and McAfee Internet Security.Samsung P210-BS02 Battery

Acer clear.fi is a kind of management center for digital contents. Media files are made accessible in a common system with a standardized user desktop. Thus, every video or picture can be looked at from any device. Samsung P210-BS04 Battery

No matter if smartphone, desktop or laptop, if they are logged into the Windows network, they share information. Acer uses this concept of a Windows home network and puts a pretty surface in Media Center style over it. So, the user will (hopefully) only have to think about drives, shares and passwords once. Samsung P210-BS05 Battery

The keys provide the user with a clear pressure point, but only a soft keystroke. This is due to the overall pliable key surface, which already yields clearly under slight pressure. Together with the short key drop, an unsatisfying typing feel develops that no ambitioned office worker will want to live with permanently.Samsung P210-Pro P8400 Padou Battery

The installed number pad is an aid for inputting rows of numbers. It's also pleasant that it is a full-fledged number pad without minimized or omitted keys. The arrow keys are only half the size of standard number keys since they aren't allowed to protrude into the wrist-rest. A small gap at least provides for good palpation.Samsung P210-XA01 Battery

Mac-Specialist. The FireWire 800 interface is particularly important in the "Mac-World". If external devices shall be connected in an efficient way, it is the first choice there. We checked Iomega's BlackBelt on a Mac and on a PC.Acer Aspire 4730 battery

All necessary cables are suppliedIomega is a manufacturer of storage devices with a long Mac-Tradition. Some might still remember the legendary ZIP-drives with removable media of 100 to 750 MB capacity, which nearly all Mac-users had. The eGo BlackBelt is a very interesting devices for Macs. Beside its black design with "protection belt" it attracts attention with its generous capacity of 1 TB.Acer Aspire 4730Z battery

Regarding interfaces it offers USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b), the later even twice. The second FireWire 800 port allows a chain of drives - something only possible with FireWire. At the time of writing there is only one model of the eGo BlackBelt on offer. It's list price of 189.- Euro is not really low. However, it is available at about 130.- euro in online-shops.Acer Aspire 4730ZG battery

FireWire 800 (IEEE1394b) chain connectionOur tests are again performed on a number of already well known devices, e.g., HP ProBook 6540b, MacMini (GF9400), IOI FW 800 ExpressCard and MSI 880 GMA E-45 Mainboard. In addition a Digitus PCI FW400/ FW800 adapter, the Verbatim Store`n`go for Mac and the LaCie Quadra d2 1TB are added.Acer Aspire 4732 battery

The case of the BlackBelt has a high-gloss black finish and a chrome-colored strip. The silicone belt somewhat prevents fingerprints, scratches, and most notably a slipping on slick surfaces. Acer Aspire 4736 battery

The rear houses the ports (1x Mini USB 2.0 und 2x FW800) and a small Status-LED. Unfortunately an additional power supply, which would allow a connection to 4-pin FW 400 interfaces (without dedicated power supply) on PCs, is missing.Acer Aspire 4736G battery

On the Mac (Mac Os X 10.6) the Iomega eGo BlackBelt delivered its full performance and achieved a maximum of 79 MB/s at reading and even 83 MB/s at writing via FireWire 800. But, it also reached best results via USB 2.0 on the Mac, i.e., 36 MB/s at reading and writing. FireWire also allows chaining external devices. Acer Aspire 4736Z battery

We tried it with three hard drives (LaCie d2 Quadra, BlackBelt, and Verbatim for Macs) and could not observe any performance losses. Even here the result of 80 MB/s convinced.Acer Aspire 4736ZG battery

On the PC (Windows 7 HP 64 bit) it did not always work. E.g., the ExpressCard/34 FW800 from IOI on a HP ProBook 6540b did not offer enough power to start up the 1 TB hard drive of the BlackBelt, although we used an additional USB connection for power supply. Acer Aspire 4740G battery

Although it did work with 2x USB 2.0 the recorded result of 25.5 MB/s disappoints. While the transfer rate increased to 27.8 MB/s via USB-3.0, this is still far away from the performance on a Mac. The performance improves when connected to the 6-pin FW400 Port of our Digitus PCI card. Acer Aspire 4920 battery,

Here we record 35.4 MB/s and on the FW800 port the transfer rate increased to 63.7 MB/s. Although a chain connection works on the PC, the transfer rate drops to just under 37 MB/s at the end of the chain. Acer Aspire 4920G battery

On the Mac the Iomega eGo BlackBelt 1TB Mac Edition is at home and lives up to its name. The recorded transfer rates conform to the maximum of each interface and, so the performance convinces. Acer Aspire 4930 battery

A capacity of 1 TB is very good for a mobile device and should suffice many users for a long time. As it lacks alternatives in the Mac-world, the price is alright too. Otherwise you had to use the slower USB 2.0 interface.Acer Aspire 4930G battery

The BlackBelt did also work under Windows, but many compromises have to be made. The power supply is not always sufficient, the performance of the interfaces is always lower by a few percent and, in comparison to eSata or USB 3.0 alternatives, the price performance ratio is clearly worse.Acer Aspire 4935 battery

The bottom line is that the Iomega eGo Blackbelt 1 TB Mac Edition is designed for Mac users and very recommendable for them. It is also possible to use on a Windows PC, but with the mentioned restrictions. Those who mainly use Windows should better consider USB 3.0 or eSata models because of their better price-performance ratio.Acer Aspire 4935G battery

Seagate's GoFlex Series is very flexible and also available with FW800 adapter. Verbatim's Store`n`Go for Mac also offers USB 3.0, but, is only available with a maximum of 500 GB and does not offer a second FW 800 port.Acer Aspire 5236 battery

Fast, cheap, trouble-free. Medion, known by many as distributor of a well-known food store chain, is already in business since years and also offers periphery for notebooks and PCs. This time we review an external 640 GB hard drive, which has to show what it is capable of with its USB-3.0 interface.Acer Aspire 5300 battery

At the time of writing the test model directly offered by the Medion Online-Shop at 80.- Euro including postage. Therewith the price is lower mid-range considering the capacity. A Samsung HM641JI with 640 GB capacity and 8 MB Cache works at a revolution speed of 5400 rpm inside. Acer Aspire 5332 battery

The drive itself is available separately at 50.- euro plus P&P. The surcharge for the case is small, even more, considering that Medion provides a warranty of 24 Month for the bundle. A model with 1 TB capacity at 100.- euro in the same case is also announced.Acer Aspire 5335 battery

The black case is completely made from plastics. Its top side has a high-gloss finish. At the sides and the bottom there are big vent grilles, which should successfully prevent a possible heat accumulation. Acer Aspire 5516 battery

The combination of i7-640M CPU and HD 6650 GPU ensures a good performance even in current games. In addition it can convince with a low system noise and a decent battery life of up to 5 hours in our WLAN test. The SSD in our test model had an important impact on performance and notably speeds the system up in daily office tasks.Dell Inspiron N5010D battery

Acer TimelineX 3820TG: now also with HD 6550M; TimelineX 5820TG: same looks in 15.6 inches, Nvidia alternatives. Asus N53SV: similarly strong gaming performance (GT 540M) and the latest Sandy Bridge processor; Samsung RF510-SO2DE: less 3D, but better workmanship, more interfaces; Sony Vaio VPC-EB3Z1E/BQ: the almost perfect consumer Full HD TFT and HD 5650.Dell Inspiron N5010D-148 battery

A small, but noteworthy group musters in the category subnotebook/netbook. The Sony Z13Z in 13-inch size does a balancing act. It is still a subnotebook, but the delivered performance could even put the fear of Good into some powerful multimedia laptops. Dell Inspiron N5010D-168 battery

The 13-incher from Samsung, the Q330, is clearly cheaper and costs less than 1000 euro. However, being equipped with Core i3-350M and Geforce 310M the performance is considerably lower too. The Q330 mainly scores points with its good battery life and the bright screen, which is unfortunately not AR-coated.Dell Inspiron N5010R battery

Even if it can't achieve their performance, the Samsung NF210 can at least top the competitors in terms of mobility. The 10-inch netbook has Intel's current Atom N550 dual core CPU inside. As it weighs only 1.3 kg you can take it with you everywhere. In addition Samsung fortunately equipped it with a matte display.Dell Inspiron M501 battery

The VPC-Z13Z achieved a convincing total score of 88%. We can't find any notable slip in any aspect. It only falls behind a little bit regarding gaming performance, something that you can concede to 13-incher. Dell Inspiron M501R battery

Dell Inspiron M5010 battery Thanks to the Geforce GT 330M it is still decent in comparison. The Sony Vaio Z13Z has an absolutely high-quality case, most powerful components, in particular a quad-SSD, which is clearly faster than conventional hard drives, a first-classs display – matte, bright, good contrast, excellent color space, low emissions, AND good battery runtimes. What a shame: It is possible to switch between integrated and dedicated graphics, but only manually as Optimus is not implemented.Dell Inspiron M5010R battery

The Quad SSD no longer appears to perform as well in practice (PCMark Vantage, PCMark05) as does the much cheaper Intel X25M SSD in the Aspire 4820TG.Dell Inspiron M5030 battery

A variety of more or less useful gadgets are basically not included. Nevertheless, Schenker bids several accessories for the P501 for a surcharge. The operating system can be freely selected, whereas you can take delight in the "nudity" of installation in an ordered, pre-installed system. That is to say, there aren't any annoying and performance-sapping tools that first have to be arduously looked for and removed.Acer Aspire Timeline 3810T Battery

Schenker also leaves it up to the customer how much money he would like to invest in service and support. A 24 month bring-in service is included in the standard package. Various upgrades in regard to type and length are available for a surcharge.Acer AS09D31 battery

While the available input device's qualities strongly depend on the individual preferences of every single user, there is a range of criteria that allow an objective verdict about them. Acer AS09D34 battery

Accordingly, the keyboard's chiclet layout in the Schenker XMG P501 is pleasing.

It practically grants all existing keys a sufficient size. There is also a number pad on the keyboard's right edge which can be helpful for both entering numbers and in the one or other game. Even the arrow keys, which are often affected adversely, all have received a standard key size and can be used comfortably.Acer AS09D36 battery

Now we'll look at the typing feel of the given keys. They provide a rather short key drop with a still sufficiently clear pressure point. The soundscape while typing isn't as nice, especially when writing longer texts. Acer AS09D56 battery

The keyboard unit that extends over almost the entire width emits a clattery noise while typing. It can even be described as very annoying when the keys are hit a bit harder. Although it doesn't have a negative influence on the typing feel, this sensation does cloud the notebook's quality impression quite a bit.Acer AS09D70 battery

Additionally, a keyboard light would be practical. However, you also have to manage without one.Acer AS09F34 battery

Though not quite as important for a gamer, a touchpad is practically indispensible for a notebook. Clevo installs a multi-touch unit that can be palpated well due to its slightly submerged position in the wrist-rest area. However, the touchpad's surface shows the same silicon coating as the surrounding case. Acer LC.BTP00.052 battery

We see this as slightly problematic. The velvety haptics are actually nice, but the material is only suitable to an extent in view of gliding characteristics. Our fingers tend to rub over the surface while controlling the cursor with the touchpad. This was noticed as an unsmooth mouse cursor movement including skipping and interruptions.Acer TravelMate Timeline 8371 battery

Both correlating mouse keys are best used with the second hand. This solution's resistance as well as the click noise is acceptable.Acer TravelMate Timeline 8471 battery

The touchpad just still passes for occasional mobile use. Otherwise you should, and likely will, prefer using an external mouse.Acer TravelMate Timeline 8571 battery

Now to the first, in our opinion, highlight of the Schenker XMG P501 gaming laptop at hand – the display. That nothing but a FullHD display (1920x1080 pixels) would come into question in view of the strong hardware configuration seems logical. Acer Aspire Timeline 3810 battery

But it looks different in terms of surface conditions. While probably more than 95% of computer notebooks rely on reflective screens and product managers of all brands don't tire of praising the anticipated benefits of mirrored screens, Schenker swims against the current.

The further left we go, however, the more the keyboard gives in as we push. Pressing in the back of the display lid with very little effort results in it bending a bit. The colors on the screen, however, remain undistorted meanwhile.Acer Aspire 4530-5627 battery

The Asus A52JU is a minimalist in terms of ports. You'll have to make do with the most basic inputs and outputs and nothing more. With a total of three USB 2.0 ports, the notebook does not offer many options in the way of attaching external devices. Acer Aspire 4330 battery

For an external mouse, hard drive and printer, the ports do suffice, though. Note that a large USB plug might end up blocking the second USB port on the left side, or the CD/DVD tray on the right side.Acer Aspire 4336 battery

On the left side of the notebook, you'll find a Kensington Lock slot, a VGA output, an HDMI output, two USB 2.0 ports as well as the microphone input and the headphone jack.Acer Aspire 4520 battery

On the right side, there's the optical disc drive, another USB port, the 4-in-1 card reader (MC/SD/Memory Stick (Pro)), the RJ45 Ethernet port and the power connector.Acer Aspire 4520G battery

The front and back of the notebook are completely free of ports. Considering the placement of ports, right-handed users at least should not feel obstructed by connected devices. Since most ports are located on the left side, there should easily be space for a mouse at the right.Acer Aspire 4530 battery

The only way the Asus A52JU can be connected to the outside world is via Ethernet or WiFi, Bluetooth is not included. Still, the Gigabit LAN network connection is quite fast and WiFi signals are sent and received on the 802.11 B/G/N Standard.Acer Aspire 4530-5350 battery

As you might guess from the low price, Asus A52JU does not come with a lavish set of accessories. Other than the notebook and the power supply, you'll only find a booklet concerning the warranty and a sort of user manual.Acer Aspire 4530-5627 battery

Asus was generous enough to fit the A52JU with a number pad. The bottom part of each key slopes slightly downward, making it easier not to hit the wrong key. At dimensions of 17 x 17 mm, the individual keys are quite large. A typical desktop keyboard's keys measure 19 x 19 mm. The number pad at the right side of the A52JU should bring some joy to those hard workers constantly filling in charts and cranking out numbers.Acer Aspire 4535G battery

Typing is very comfortable on the Asus A52JU, thanks to its large keys you'll always hit the one you mean to. Although it might feel good, it sure doesn't sound very good. The keys make a crinkling sound as you type. Acer Aspire 4540 battery

The mechanism underneath the keys either bobs up and down upon typing or sits a bit askew since sounds are heard coming from there as well. What's more annoying than the noise during typing is the poor responsiveness of certain keys. While typing quickly, we observed that some keystrokes simply go undetected. The "Y" key, particularly, didn't register quite often. Acer Aspire 4540G battery

The touchpad approximately measures a generous 85 mm diagonally. At first you might assume that the touchpad is comprised of the entire recessed surface above the large touchpad keys. Acer Aspire 4710 battery

Upon closer inspection, however, you'll find a thin borderline encompassing the actual touchpad. The touchpad settings do not allow you to use the space outside this border for vertical or horizontal scrolling, although that can be done through multitouch gestures. Acer Aspire 4710G battery

This means that you can scroll through documents or websites using the typical two-finger scroll (horizontally or vertically). The touchpad can, moreover, recognize whether it is your fingers or your palm that's sliding across the surface of the touchpad. Acer Aspire 4710Z battery

So, while typing you won't need to worry about accidentally selecting a different part of the document because your palm slides over the touchpad. The separate left and right touchpad keys come in the deceptive form of a single key. This key is raised to a good height above the surrounding palm rest and the pressure needed to click is just right.Acer Aspire 4715Z battery

Asus went with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels for the 15.6" display. The aspect ratio of 16:9 has become the standard with displays of this size. The screen is glossy, making reflections show up on the screen near light sources or outdoors. The glossy screen also makes it easier to see fingerprint marks on it.Acer Aspire 4720 battery

At a black level of 1.01 cd/m² (center), the display of the Asus A52JU only manages to produce the modest contrast ratio of 156:1. Acer Aspire 4720G battery

The average screen brightness of 165.3 cd/m² is quite low. Other laptops in this price range usually reach an average screen brightness of around 200 cd/m² (for example, the Lenovo B560, average brightness = 195.3 cd/m²). Acer Aspire 4720Z battery

Even the maximum screen brightness of this notebook is surpassed by the average brightness values of some laptops. Its brightness distribution of 82% doesn't give the Asus A52JU anything more to brag about.Acer Aspire 4720ZG battery

The display in place here doesn't even come close to accurately reproducing the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB. Even compared to the Asus P42JC, which we recently reviewed, the A52JU still draws the short straw.Acer Aspire 4730 battery

The most immediate downside to this netbook seems to be the glossy screen, with a diagonal measuring 25.7 cm (10.1 inches). We examine the Toshiba NB550D’s best and worst features, particularly the Ontario Fusion APU from AMD. The netbook is out now, priced at €349 (RRP) including tax.Acer AS07A42 battery

Das Toshiba NB550D in Lime-Green-MetallicThe Toshiba NB550D’s casing is based extensively on that of the NB500, other than the speakers in the palm rest. The matt plastic surfaces have a high-quality look, and the overall workmanship is convincing. Acer AS07A51 battery

The non-slip, rubberized surfaces below the keyboard and in the region of the lid are an unusual feature; as well as having a nice feel to them, these guard successfully against scratches and a build-up of dirt or dust. It does seem like the upper part of the screen bezel is a little oversized as a result of the large palm rest.Acer AS07A52 battery

Though the case is mostly black, the netbook still manages to stand out from the crowd; the rubberized surface of the lid comes in either metallic brown, metallic lime-green or metallic orange, depending on your taste. Other than that it is a very straightforward, uncomplicated design, tapering towards the front for ease of use.Acer AS07A71 battery

The netbook is for the most part robust. The keyboard flexes only in the central region. The hinges stick out from the back of the lid and hold it firmly in place, though we did notice some wobbling of the lid. Why Toshiba decided to make the screen bezel glossy, despite the rest of the case being matt, is a mystery, as the glossy surface has a tendency to pick up dust and scratches.Acer AS07A72 battery

The netbook’s dimensions of 262 x 190 x 16.6 - 35.5 mm, and its weight of around 1.27 kg including the six-cell battery which it comes with, are within the normal range for a netbook with a 10-inch display. The relatively large access panel on the underside of the base unit is a pleasant surprise, allowing you to change the RAM or hard drive in minutes.Acer AS07A75 battery

Toshiba has chosen to leave off the VGA port, often used but slowly dying out, and offer only the more modern HDMI port. It is one of the first manufacturers to do this. Other than that, the NB550D comes with the standard range of ports. There are three USB 2.0 ports, an RJ-45 network port, two audio ports without support for S/PDIF, and a 2-in-1 card reader tucked under the front edge. Acer AS09A61 battery

Toshiba has not included a USB 3.0 port, the latest standard, but it does earn brownie points through two nice features. The first is the familiar Sleep and Charge function on the left-hand USB, and the second is that the Harman Kardon speakers can also be used while the netbook is switched off. Acer BT.00603.036 battery

Toshiba calls this new function ‘Sleep and Music’. With the help of a male to male audio cable, you can play songs straight from your MP3 player without starting up the computer. The speakers are powered during this by the six-cell battery, in a similar way to the USB charging function.Acer BT.00604.015 battery

Acer BT.00604.022 battery The netbook’s wired connectivity does not conform to the latest Gigabit standard, with a 10/100 Mbit Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller. On the other hand, the netbook has 802.11 b/g/n WLAN as well as Bluetooth 3.0 +HS, so it is well-equipped for wireless communication. Inside the case there are hints that a UMTS module for mobile internet access could feature in future models. Unfortunately, this netbook does not have a soldered SIM slot or a WWAN antenna.Acer BT.00605.018 battery

Not much comes with the netbook other than the bare essentials for running it. The small box it arrives in contains a six-cell battery with 61 Wh, already inserted, a mains adaptor with power cable, a folded quick-start booklet and a handbook with safety instructions. Acer BT.00607.012 battery

Toshiba does not list any accessories specifically for the NB550D, though a wide range of peripherals is available. When it comes to software, however, the freebies are extensive; you get a wealth of programs that you don’t particularly need. They slow down performance and the majority can be categorized as bloatware.Acer BT.00607.013 battery

Acer BTP-AS4520G battery Toshiba offers a standard 24-month warranty (worldwide). It is a ‘bring in’ type warranty, where you have to send in the computer yourself or via the retailer. The warranty can be extended on this model to a maximum of 48 months, for an additional price of €109 (RRP). Toshiba’s on-site repair service is a little more expensive, available from €159 (RRP) and also running for 24 months. Further details about these packages can be found on Toshiba’s support page.Acer LC.BTP00.012 battery

The keyboard comes in the usual German layout, but the lettering on the keys is in English. Despite the edge-to-edge design of the keyboard, there are some keys on the right-hand side which are too small; for example the Shift and Enter keys are smaller than usual. The keyboard has a nice feel to it, giving clear tactile feedback with a short travel distance. Apart from in the central area, the keyboard is convincingly robust. Acer Aspire 2930 battery

The NB550D comes with a generously sized touchpad. It is impressive with a diagonal of 9 cm, a broad design and rough surface. As well as the unmarked scroll bars, a variety of multi-touch gestures are recognized. Overall it is very easy to use. The touchpad keys are finished in the same colour as the netbook lid, and give strong tactile feedback.Acer Aspire 2930G battery

Glossy 1024 x 600 resolutionHaving a glossy screen is a clear disadvantage for a supposedly mobile netbook (screen model AUO30D2). When the background picture is dark you can quite happily use the screen as a mirror. Acer Aspire 2930Z battery

It has a diagonal length of 29.7 cm (10.1 inches) and a native resolution of 1024 x 600. Higher resolution levels or an optional HD version with 1366 x 768 resolution are not available. A matt screen would have been an altogether better choice here. Prime examples in this class of netbook would be the Asus Eee PC R101 or the Samsung NF310 with HD screen.Acer Aspire 4230 battery

The LED backlighting is convincing, producing a good brightness and even distribution. We measured a maximum of 245 cd/m², with an average of around 231 cd/m². There were no problems with the picture caused by variations in brightness. At 88%, the AUO screen has a good uniformity of brightness. Acer Aspire 4235 battery

The design of our Creative tablet is pleasing. The white case together with the display's black bezel looks good. In our opinion, the display's positioning is particularly well thought-out. It is slightly higher than the rest of the case. Dell 5081P

The fingers find a secure hold on the edges beveled in this way, and thus the device is very safe and sound to hold. Dell 53977

Merely the Creative logo is found on the smooth flipside. The power button for turning the device on/off or putting it in standby is on the top right edge. The rocker for volume control is found on the right side. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit quite tight in its socket. Dell 75UYF

The tablet's workmanship is good, but still remote from that of the Apple iPad. Starting with choice of material up to manufacturing, the iPad is in the lead. Although the plastic used has been solidly manufactured, you don't have the feeling that you're really holding something of high quality. Dell 3149C

Especially on the flipside you notice that the plastic yields a bit when pressure is applied. However, we have to positively note that the case is resistant against fingerprints. In any event, fingerprints on the display are inevitable. Dell 1K500

For one thing, it's a matter of course for touchscreens, and on the other it's because the display doesn't have a special coating (the Apple iPad has an anti-grease finish). So, you have the feeling that you first distribute the fingerprints all over the display before they finally end up in the cloth when you're polishing it.Dell 8M815

The Creative ZiiO 7" can clearly score in terms of interface options. Beside a mini USB port, it also has a 3.5 millimeter jack, a microSD and an HDMI video out. Naturally, a built-in microphone and a power socket are also installed. Dell 851UY

While the mini USB port ensures the tablet's easy connecting to other computers, the HDMI socket provides a connection to larger TV sets. The Creative ZiiO is supposed to feed these with high definition videos without ado. If 8 GBs or 16 GBs aren't enough for you, you have the option of upgrading via a microSD card. The upper limit is 32 GBs here. That should be enough to even transfer larger music collections to the tablet PC.Dell F287H

The Creative ZiiO has WLAN and Bluetooth available as wireless technologies. WLAN isn't really up to date with an 802.11 b/g standard, but is hardly noticed in the tablet. Bluetooth version 2.1 + EDR is installed. Dell G069H

Additionally it has apt-X, A2DP and AVRCP. A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) is a universal technology that allows audio signals to be transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth. AVRCP (audio video remote control profile) is a Bluetooth profile that allows remote control of audio and video devices.Dell 312-0818

The built-in acceleration sensor recognizes the device's position and thus can adjust the content according to the viewing direction. This is a bit slow though. The case is completely closed and there is no possibility to open it. Consequently, the user is denied access to the battery.Dell 451-10673

Apart from the tablet itself, there is also a stylus, an adapter, a USB cable and the usual documentation materials in the box. It would have been nice if a HDMI cable had also been included for connecting the tablet PC to a TV.Dell F286H

Since the Android market policies don't apply to the Creative ZiiO, it remains exempt from these. Although Creative supplies an own App store with the ZiiMarket, it isn't well-filled yet. However, you can exploit external App stores, such as AndroidPit or Canangie Market.Dell F287F

Creative only grants a 1 year limited warranty on product parts and manufacturing.Dell R988H

Stylus inputA tablet PC rises and falls with its touchscreen. If it isn't convincing, the best software or highest manufacturing quality can't save it. The Creative ZiiO is equipped with a resistive touchscreen. Dell KM973

This is a process that detects touchscreen inputs by physical force. Two electrically conductive layers are pushed together by the applied pressure and thus can locate the position of input. In opposition, the Apple iPad has a capacitive touchscreen. Dell KM974

It doesn't respond to pressure, but builds up an electrostatic field instead. The touch of a finger changes this field and the position can be determined. Unlike the resistive touchscreen, the capacitive touchscreen can't be operated with a stylus.Dell KM976

The ZiiO's resistive touchscreen is inferior to the capacitive touchscreen of the iPad and partly responds slower, but all in all it makes a good impression. Scrolling through websites and pictures works well and even navigating in the menus or on the home screen hardly leaves anything to be desired. Dell KM978

Merely, the screen's keyboard shows a slight weakness in accuracy. The wrong keys are frequently triggered. You also have to live without multi-touch in the ZiiO 7". If you like, you can also fully switch to handwriting recognition via the stylus instead of the Android keyboard. Unfortunately, you have to figure out where to store it yourself since it can't be fastened to or inserted in the ZiiO.Dell MT335

If you work without text detection,Dell PW823 you can write digital notes very quickly. However, they would have to be copied or printed as a picture afterwards. Creative includes suitable software that is supposed to recognize written texts directly while writing. Unfortunately, it only works averagely at most. Many words are simply not identified correctly so that the software is not really of use. In the end, we preferred to use the tablet with the stylus and not our fingers.Dell MT342

Asus ASUS Eee PC T91 S101 batteryThe 15.6 incher is fairly portable with a weight of 2521 grams plus the adapter's 251 grams. However, the torsional stiffness can't quite convince us. We can twist the base unit a slight bit with both hands. We can also depress the plastic base unit evidently on the right and left. Unfortunately, the DVD drive is the construction's weak point, as it frequently is the case. The base plate clearly dents when pressure is applied from above.ASUS Eee PC T91 battery

The hinges keep the display in position,Asus ASUS Eee PC T91SA battery but they aren't pulled tight. The tendency to teeter is nevertheless low. The lid's closing force is agreeable. It makes sure that the lid doesn't open during transportation even without a latch. When this can be excluded, the display is protected. The lid doesn't open due to its weight when the RC510 is held upside down. The maximum opening angle is about 140 degrees. We only need one hand to open it.Asus Eee PC T91 Tablet ASUS Eee PC T91MT battery

The 2.5 inch hard disk and DDR3 module are found underneath the large cover on the bottom (two occupied slots).ASUS W90 battery

Favorable position of twin USB portWe also don't see the RC510's competencies in the interfaces. The sockets are all accumulated on the case's left side, with exception of two USB 2.0 ports. We find a VGA (D sub), two USB ports, an Ethernet socket, two audio jacks and a HDMI port beside the power socket. The cardreader for SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC are also on the left.ASUS W90V battery

The interface positioning is adequate. As so often, there aren't any connections on the back (although the display isn't exceedingly sunken), but at least both USB 2.0 ports are located in the far back. Unwieldy cables for VGA, power (straight plug) and Ethernet on the left can be lead to the back without loss of much room on the desk.ASUS W90VN battery

In addition to WLAN draft-n (Atheros AR9285), Bluetooth 3.0+HDR is also available as wireless technology in the RC510. The Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is able to transmit data with the highest possible speed in the home network.ASUS W90VP battery

Most laptops are delivered without recovery data carriers nowadays. This especially applies to the rather low-priced consumer notebooks. Samsung apparently is following a different strategy in this regard. A recovery DVD for Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) accompanies our test device. If you'd like to back up the entire ex-factory settings, you can naturally burn according DVDs with Samsung's Recovery Solution.ASUS W90vp-a1 battery

Among Samsung's notebook tools that can be found are EasyMigration (data migration), ASUS W90vp-a2 battery PhoneShare (shares the internet connection with your mobile phone), Easy Network Manager (WLAN locations) and Update Plus driver (updates drivers). We like the Battery Life Extender. It sets the maximum battery charge to 80 percent, which increases the battery life. Easy Speed Up Manager is started with the function key + F8 (FN+F8). It purges the registry data base.ASUS W90vp-x1 battery

The manufacturer's warranty adds up to 24 months (incl. onsite). The standard warranty can be extended for an extra charge and is called Warranty Plus. It includes a 3 year onsite collect service for about 50 euros (starts with date of purchase).ASUS W90vp-x2 battery

Alike tablets, the detached keys are on a level surface. This kind of isolation keyboard has found its way into many laptops in the meantime. The keys have been sunken into a matt gray grid, which is part of the keyboard surface. This also makes cleaning easier. Typists will appreciate the elevated wrist-rest. Although it's slippery because of the high-gloss finish, it is big enough that even large hands don't slip off it.ASUS G51 battery

The number pad's keys have been designed a bit narrower than the others. This doesn't represent a problem for using the calculator though. More important is the number pad's standard layout with the comma and enter key in the lower right.Asus K50 battery

The manufacturer has apparently considered the previously expressed critique about the arrow keys. They are still squeezed in between the shift key and number pad. However, the keys have a white bezel and, in our opinion, are not as slippery as the prior ones. Both are to facilitate the use of the squeezed in arrow key, and we see it as going in the right direction.Asus K50A battery

We can type on the keys fairly accurately and fast without accommodating. The key drop is medium and the stroke firm (but not hard). The surface fits tight. The keyboard doesn't even coil above the optical drive. The key's pressure point could be clearer. On the whole, typing is good, but slightly imprecise. Asus K50AB battery

Asus K50AF battery The multi-touch mouse pad (Synaptics 7.5) has a very large surface and is touch sensitive up to its edges. It has two unmarked scroll bars (vertical and horizontal). If you'd like to have the entire pad available for navigating the cursor, you can disable the fixed scroll bars. The surface is matt, but rather slippery in terms of property. Nevertheless, it bids a pleasant scroll resistance. Multi-finger gestures, such as rotate, scroll or zoom are quickly recognized.Asus K50AD battery

The key's medium key drop and their smoothness allow fast clicking. However, the high-pitched click noise is very audible and gets annoying in the long run.Asus K50C battery

Samsung installs the same matt WXGA screen as in the more expensive RF510. The display, with 1366 x 768 pixels, has clearly been AR treated (model: Samsung LTN154X3_L01). Thus, reflections haven't got a chance. This is perfect for office and, if required, for outdoor use in sunlight.Asus K50I battery
