This laptop is Black and Grey and we think Not the best looking laptop but you shouldnt expect that from Acer. It looks OK, modern and clean.
The screen, for me is a bit of a dissapointment also. A mere 1366x768 screen resolution in conjunction with a Blu-Ray player is a bit silly and if playing super-high quality movies is a very big deal for you, then I would look elsew.
On a positive note if gaming, above the basics, but not at the very expensive Alienware end is what you want then take a close look at the full review of the Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G-7748G64Wnss. The otherwise dissapointing screen resolution doesnt make much difference because most modern games on this GPU wont run on high details at a higher res anyway. Also, even with the DDR3 GPU memory it still packs a punch above most GPUs you can get in mid-price laptops.

HP Pavilion dv6 6110eg Llano
Low-cost Crossfire. After AMD processors were almost non-existent in our tests for a long time, we now looked at the brand new Llano APU A6. There are even two graphic cores doing their job on the platform. Crossfire and turbo for everyone?
Specifications HP Pavilion dv6-6110eg :
With the Llano generation, the manufacturer has expanded the APU concept of a main processor with incorporated graphics to bigger systems. The codename Llano covers Accelerated Processing Units that are a blend of Northbridge, a dual or quad core and a dedicated graphics. See our report: Llano APUs officially launched.
The Pavilion dv6-6110eg bids all keywords that find an open ear in Media Markt (German consumer electronics chain) fliers: dual graphics, quad core, turbo, Crossfire and long battery life. This bundle is available for less than 600 euros. A tempting bargain? Well check the capabilities of this new platform for multimedia fans and gamers. Can AMD hold a candle to the Intel Cores? All answers in this comprehensive review.
Performance
Four computing cores work under the umbrella of the Fusion APU A series, A6-3410MX (1.6-2.3 GHz) and a HD 6520G incorporated in the APU in the Pavilion dv6-6110eg. A dedicated HD 6750M is connected to this. The processing cores can now also overclock at AMD (Turbo Core 2.0). An APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is a main processor with an incorporated graphics unit. Consequently, CPU, GPU and video as well as other hardware accelerators are united on one die, like in the Intel Core processors. For details, see AMD: Llano APUs officially launched an the CPUs spec page.
Up to date, we have only gotten to know APU based devices in netbooks, subnotebooks and performance weak office notebooks, e.g. Lenovo G575, ThinkPad X120E, Vaio YB1 (E350) or Aspire One 522, Eee PC 1015B, Toshiba NB550D (C50). The A series at hand was launched in June 2011 and also includes desktop processors. There is also a fast rotating, 7200 rpm hard disk from Hitachi and a six gigabyte RAM (1 x 2 GB, 1 x 4 GB) installed.

Disable Autoplay Functionality In Windows To Prevent Virus
AutoPlay function in Windows was originally built for ease of use. When you insert external media such as USB drives or external hard disk, Windows will run a specific application based on the AutoPlay set.
Unfortunately this function has been misused by virus makers to infect your computer. The virus is programmed to launch automatically when autoplay function is activated. That is why, even better if you turn off AutoPlay function this straight.
Ways want to turn off the AutoPlay in Windows 7
1. Open Control Panel and type "AutoPlay" in the search box. Youll see the AutoPlay category is displayed. Click on the Change default settings for media or devices
2. Clear the check box Use AutoPlay for all media and devices. Press the Save button.
As simple as that, you have disabled the AutoPlay function to reduce the risk of your computer is infected with a virus. And do not forget to install antivirus on your computer as the primary protection against the virus.
Acer Revo RL100 UR20P
The Acer Revo RL100-UR20P ($ 569.99 list) combines the world of home theater in a nettop PC Slim, resulting in a Blu-ray, browse the Internet, use of multimedia machine. If you are looking for innovative PC, the RL100-UR20P has some of the best features and best bang-for-money for a nettop worldwide. It has everything you need for the fun of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) and Blu-ray on a large screen for a decent price, and therefore, is the choice of our new editor nettop PC.
Design and Features
The RL100 UR20P as a kick-back to the Sony PlayStation 2 Slim. Can be placed vertically or horizontally, as the PS2, but the chassis has a couple of interesting motifs that are quite revolutionary. The RL100-UR20P comes with a wireless controller that acts as a combination touch screen / keyboard, eliminating the need to go out and buy something like the Logitech diNovo Mini to access multimedia content and browsing the Web. It has a power button / mode at the top: one click and the surface becomes a responsive touchpad for cursor control. Another click on the mode button and a backlit keyboard appears on the same surface.

The touch panel can handle two big fish fingers and holding your finger on the panel invoked the right mouse button. The reassuring tone buttons when writing, but no haptic feedback, as in other keyboards (ie, smartphones and tablets). The bottom of the controller has a volume control, suitable for modeling the system with TV-centric. It is noteworthy that the remote contact replaces any kind of TV-style infrared remote control: it is simply not necessary, unless youre an aggressor FF / REW keys. As a small and flat touchpad / keyboard, you can take a medical exam if you have a lot of writing.
Other system features include a media Blu-ray combo player / DVD for playing movies, home theater specific ports such as HDMI and S / PDIF, a 750 GB drive, and a low power processor AMD Athlon K325 not need high fan to avoid overheating. The RL100-UR20P comes with Acer Clear.fi ecosystem, which adds an easier to use layers on top of the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). With Clear.fi, you can share photos, videos and music between computers connected to Acer laptops, desktops, and tablets like the A100 Acer Iconia Tab (Wi-Fi). It is easier to configure than just ordinary DLNA, but it is not quite as easy to use as Apples Bonjour sharing available on iTunes and Apple TV. The system included 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi or Ethernet port manages the network.
The system includes three USB 2.0 (a big consideration is equipped with a wireless touchpad / keyboard), card reader, and the number of completed software. Some of the software, it makes sense, such as Netflix to watch movies and TV shows online. Some pre-installed software is a bit controversial Times Reader, (NY Times), Nook, Skype and eBay their presence on the desktop, to comply with the icons. I understand that product placement will help to reduce the price of computers, but there are simply too many pre-loaded programs and icons are everywhere. Topping pre-installed software is a short 60-day trial subscription of McAfee Internet Security, which is a few months longer.
Performance
The RL100 is UR20P-K325 AMD Athlon running at 1.3 GHz relatively slow, but K325 is dual-core, multimedia prowess with the system a bit. Dual-core system more NVIDIA ION will display 1080p videos online and Blu-ray movies smoothly, showing a nettop may be sufficient if all youre looking for media consumption. But it is slower on the uptake when it comes to creating media: 5 minutes and 43 seconds to encode a video on the handbrake and 1:19 p.m. to browse Photoshop CS5 test image manipulation - the best score mag . In comparison, our editors choice nettop last Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150 ($ 399 direct, 4 stars), a test ice CS5 23:38. The Zotac ZBox AD03BR-PLUS-D ($ 519.99 list, 3.5 stars) also works behind Acer to "nearly 15 minutes" for CS5. Large HP Pavilion Slimline S5-1020 ($ 429.99 list, 3 , 5-star) has an Intel Pentium dual-core processor gives the 2:05 and 4:29 handbrake on CS5.
The HP Slimline S5-1020 is a little cheaper and more powerful than the RL100-UR20P to be sure, but the S5-1020 is more or less an ordinary PC-Jane office in a small box (which is much thicker than Revo). The RL100-HP UR20P exceeds its innovative wireless controller, HDMI port and Blu-ray. The ZOTAC ZBOX is so similar such as the Revo, with its compact size, low power processor, and Blu-ray. However, the ZBOX is more of a DIY project: the system lacks an operating system (figure on $ 99 more for Windows 7 Home Premium), is almost as expensive, slower, has a smaller hard drive, less system memory, and doesn t have the remote control products.
RL100-Revo features UR20P simply out run and out-Q150 in all areas, but the price and the dollars more worth it, that one of the better home theater PC out there. So if you want to add low-cost computer for HDTV, Acer Revo RL100-UR20p is one of the better choices out there, especially if youre looking for the easiest way to watch movies IPTV and Blu-ray on a large screen. For these reasons, RL100-UR20P nettop computer is the latest Editors Choice.
However, the lack S5-1020 Blu-ray and many other features that make the RL100 Revo so attractive to the media a dog.

The Dell Cloudera Solution
The Dell | Cloudera Solution
Below is a post originally written by Barton George at his blog and discusses The Dell | Cloudera Solution :-
Data continues to grow at an exponential rate and no place is this more obvious than in the Web space. Not only is the amount exploding but so is the form data’s taking whether that’s transactional, documents, IT/OT, images, audio, text, video etc. Additionally much of this new data is unstructured/ semi-structured which traditional relational databases were not built to deal with.
Enter Hadoop, an Apache open source project which, when combined with Map Reduce allows the analysis of entire data sets, rather than sample sizes, of structured and unstructured data types. Hadoop lets you chomp thru mountains of data faster and get to insights that drive business advantage quicker. It can provide near “real-time” data analytics for click-stream data, location data, logs, rich data, marketing analytics, image processing, social media association, text processing etc. More specifically, Hadoop is particularly suited for applications such as:
- Search Quality — search attempts vs. structured data analysis; pattern recognition
- Recommendation engine — batch processing; filtering and prediction (ie use information to predict what similar users like)
- Ad-targeting – batch processing; linear scalability
- Thread analysis for spam fighting and detecting click fraud — batch processing of huge datasets; pattern recognition
- Data “sandbox” – “dump” all data in Hadoop; batch processing (ie analysis, filtering, aggregations etc.); pattern recognition
The Dell | Cloudera solution
The solution is comprised of Cloudera’s distribution of Hadoop, running on optimized Dell PowerEdge C2100 servers with Dell PowerConnect 6248 switch, delivered with joint service and support. Dell offers two flavors of this big data solution: Cloudera’s distribution with the free download of Hadoop software, and Cloudera’s enterprise version of Hadoop that comes with a charge.
It comes with its own “crowbar” and DIY option
The Dell | Cloudera solution for Apache Hadoop also comes with Crowbar, the recently open-sourced Dell-developed software, which provides the necessary tools and automation to manage the complete lifecycle of Hadoop environments. Crowbar manages the Hadoop deployment from the initial server boot to the configuration of the main Hadoop components allowing users to complete bare metal deployment of multi-node Hadoop environments in a matter of hours, as opposed to days. Once the initial deployment is complete, Crowbar can be used to maintain, expand, and architect a complete data analytics solution, including BIOS configuration, network discovery, status monitoring, performance data gathering, and alerting.
The solution also comes with a reference architecture and deployment guide, so you can assemble it yourself, or Dell can build and deploy the solution for you, including rack and stack, delivery and implementation.

Steve Ballmer asked to Resigns from Microsoft
 |
One of Microsofts investors called for Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, soon backed away from his position. Ballmer considered obsolete.
The call was delivered by David Einhorn, hedge fund manager from Greenlight Capital. Currently Greenlight is one of Microsofts stock investors.
As quoted by Reuters on Thursday (05/26/2011), shares of Microsoft for 10 years is considered stagnant. According to Einhorns now time Ballmer stepped down and give opportunities to others.
"Its existence is a constant cloud over most of Microsoft shares," Einhorn said in a conference Ira Sohn Investment Research Conference in New York, United States.
Ballmer has been CEO since 2000 as the shifting role of Bill Gates. That said, according to Reuters, quite a lot of skeptical voices who criticize the leadership of Ballmer.
Greenlight currently holds 9 million shares of Microsoft or approximately 0.11 percent from their outstanding shares.
On Tuesday (24/05/2011) shares of Microsoft - for the first time since the last 15 years - exceeded by IBM. If an investor 10 years ago grow to USD 100 thousand shares in Microsoft, this time he will only have a stake worth USD 69 thousand.
How credible figure Einhorn? He is one of the first to criticize the problems at Lehman Brothers investment bank before it collapsed, which was followed by the global financial crisis.

HP Compaq Presario CQ42 laptops review
The HP Compaq Presario CQ42 can be classified as a basic low-cost laptop; it does the job done without any fireworks.
The dimensions of 3.15 mm height, 3.65 mm weight and 22.8 mm depth, the 2.2 kg of weight and the 14 inch diagonal screen size (with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels) say that this laptop is a standard portable, not too large or small and not heavy, actually. The processor type is Intel Celeron at a speed of 1.9 GHz; the laptop has 2 GB of RAM DDR3 with a storage capacity of 250 GB HDD and Intel GL40 motherboard chipset. In terms of graphics, we are talking here about the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500. It has a memory card reader included and the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium on 64 bit. The specifications enhanced the fact that the HP Compaq Presario CQ42 is in fact a user-friendly, standardly equipped device.
The design doesn’t remark itself in any way, isn’t spectacular, but has a sleek and neat look to it. This laptop speaks for itself through all its features when it says that it’s plain and simple just a laptop that gets the job done. Otherwise, the way that the design was thought is rather good: the keyboard is comfortable, with a decent space between the keys.
The laptops has a LightScribe SuperMulti DVD RW, the Double Layer Support. As the connectivity is concerned, there are 3 USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet 100 Mb, VGA, HDMI, 5 in 1 card reader, headphones and microphone. Along with the preinstalled windows there are several software included as following: HP Advisor, HP Support Assistance, HP Wireless Assistant, HP Software update, HP Recovery Manager, Adobe Reader, Norton Online Backup, Norton Internet Security – but only for 60 days as well as Microsoft Office 2007 which is activated for that same period of time.
The HP Compaq Presario CQ42 is an honest laptop: what you see is what you get. So you cannot be disappointed at the end of your purchase.

Compaq Presario V2000
I was willing to forego some features in order to keep the price below $1000. I considered several popular computer models, including Dell Inspiron, Sony Vaio, Toshiba Satellite, and IBM ThinkPad. Most of these brands came with price tags that placed them just beyond my reach. Although I knew that Hewlett Packard and Compaq made affordable computers, I associated these brand names with heavy, bulky notebooks. After a few weeks of searching for an affordable computer that satisfied my demands, I discovered the Compaq Presario V2000 and its Hewlett Packard cousin, the DV1000. I checked out both of these models at a local office supply store. I was surprised to find the HP and Compaq names on smaller, more compact notebooks. Much has been written about the similarities and differences between these two computers. For my needs, the only obvious advantage I saw in the DV1000 over the V2000 was the Quick Play feature, which allows you to watch movies or listen to CDs without going through a complete Windows start-up. Because I could not see myself using this feature very often, I decided to buy the slightly less expensive Compaq V2000, which is marketed as the "take it anywhere" model in the Presario line.
Purchase
I found that I could get the best price on a V2000 by ordering a custom notebook on the HP website. Customizing the V2000 allowed me to save money by downgrading some of the options that were not very important to me. I saved even more by taking advantage of HPs student discount. The major decisions in customizing my V2000 were the operating system, the processor, the display, memory, hard drive size and speed, CD drive, battery, and wireless option. The configuration I purchased is as follows:
* OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows XP Home
* PROCESSOR: Intel Pentium M 710 -- 1.4 GHz
* SCREEN: 14.0" WXGA Widescreen (not the BrightView)
* MEMORY: 256 MB SDRAM (1x256)
* HARD DRIVE: 40 GB 4200 rpm
* CD DRIVE: DVD/CD-RW combo drive
* BATTERY: 6-cell lithium ion
* WIRELESS: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN (without Bluetooth).
The HP website seems to always be offering specials or rebates. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a coupon code for additional savings. At the time that I placed my order, HPShopping was offering free shipping, a $30 rebate on custom notebooks, and a free upgrade to the DVD/CD-RW drive. Shipping to most states in the US does not incur a sales tax. The total on my computer with the student discount was $920.26, and the $30 rebate brings it down to $890.26. I also purchased the 2-year Express Repair extended service for an additional $99.99. In the course of shopping, I also talked myself into buying the HP Deskjet 5850 wireless inkjet printer for $101.24. Purchasing the computer and the printer at the same time entitled me to an additional rebate of $50. I was very happy with these prices, but the only drawback to ordering a custom notebook on the website is that it may take a few weeks to deliver. My computer took 13 days from order to delivery.
Form & Design
The V2000 is well-designed and sharp-looking. The inside of the notebook is silver, and the top and bottom are black plastic. The specs from the website report the weight as 5.21 lbs, and the physical dimensions as 13.15 in. x 9.1 in. I was pleasantly surprised when I first picked it up -- the computer looks as though it should be a lot heavier than it is. The widescreen design allows for a very functional screen size that does not make the computer too bulky or heavy. The thickness of the computer is greater at the rear (1.53 in.) than it is in the front (1.29 in.). This puts the keyboard at a slight upward angle, which turns out to be a comfortable ergonomic feature. But it may look strange when you first close the display and notice the top is not level.
The design of the V2000 has a few minor flaws. First, the power cord connects to the back of computer. This can be cumbersome when you need to go to AC power. Second, there is a little slack in the door for the CD drive on the right side panel. I notice it when I pick up the computer from the sides. In order to protect the CD drive door when I travel with the computer, I bought a new bag that came with a protective laptop sleeve. The only other significant design issue is the thickness of the unit. It is slightly thicker than I initially expected. Using the protective sleeve adds even greater thickness to the unit. This takes up precious space in my school bag.
Screen
The screen size is where the V2000 earns my respect. The 14-inch widescreen design gives a screen height comparable to a standard 12 inch or 14 inch screen, but the width of a 15 inch display. This keeps the dimensions of the computer small and portable while providing a display that is very functional and easy to use. The widescreen design allows me to see the entire width of a document, even when working in landscape mode. It also allows me to easily view two documents side-by-side. I have also discovered that I can play a DVD movie in a small window in the corner of the screen and still have enough usable screen area to work on other applications.
The V2000 only has two custom options for the display: widescreen or widescreen with BrightView. The BrightView screen is a more reflective surface that provides more vivid color and higher contrast. Although I read many glowing reviews of the BrightView screen, I decided against it. I was concerned that the increased reflectivity of the brighter display would cause problems with glare and increased visibility of dust and fingerprints. Also, the BrightView screen seemed to be an additional cost that I did not think was absolutely necessary for my needs. At the time that I bought the computer, the BrightView option added $50 to the price. Since that time, HP has dropped the price to $25 for this upgrade. I do not regret choosing the standard display, as the image quality is sufficient for most of my needs. The only time I really notice the shortcomings of the standard display is when I watch DVD movies. The DVD video quality is a little washed out and grainy, especially when viewing in full screen mode. If I were buying the V2000 at todays prices I would probably spend the extra money and get the BrightView.
Speakers
The V2000 comes with JBL stereo speakers mounted on the front panel. The audio quality is great for watching movies, listening to CDs, or streaming audio. I am very pleased with the quality of the sound at all volume ranges. I hooked the computer up to a set of external speakers, and it sounded even better. Like most notebook computers, the audio quality of the V2000 cannot compete with your home entertainment center. But for a computer, the audio is pretty impressive.
Processor and Performance
At first I considered ordering my V2000 with a Celeron processor to save even more money. But after doing a little research, I decided that this was one area where I did not want to downgrade too much. I decided to go with the least expensive Centrino option, which at the time was the Pentium M-710, 1.4 GHz. I also selected the least expensive hard drive option (40 GB, 4200 rpm) and the minimum amount of memory (256 MB). At first I noticed that the performance of the computer was not as snappy as I would have liked. Some programs and windows seemed to take a long time to open and close. I tinkered with the visual effects and startup options to minimize the number of processes that were running in the background. This seemed to help somewhat, but it became obvious that I had underestimated the amount of memory that I would need. Luckily, the V2000 has two memory card slots, and I was only using one slot with the 256 MB that I ordered in the initial configuration. I installed an additional 512 MB card into the second slot. I purchased the additional memory card from a local computer store for about $60 after rebate. The memory upgrade has greatly enhanced the computers performance. Programs seem to open and close a lot faster and I no longer feel that the computer is running a few seconds behind me. Furthermore, I was able to get a 768 MB of memory for less than it would have cost me to order the initial configuration with 512 MB. I do not regret my choices on the processor or the hard drive size. After the memory upgrade, the performance is snappy enough for my demands, and I still have 30GB of free space available on the hard drive.
The computer gets a little warm during routine use, but not beyond what I would expect for a notebook computer. The cooling fans kick on occasionally when running high-demand applications or multiple processes. The cooling fans are slightly louder than I originally expected, but it is not a significant issue. The cooling fans activate periodically when playing DVD movies or listening to music directly from a CD. This can drown out the audio if you are listening at low volumes.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard and touchpad are among the nicest features of the V2000. The keys have a comfortable, springy feel. The widescreen design accommodates a wider keyboard layout. Above the keyboard there are several buttons: main power, wireless button, and volume controls. I like the placement of these additional buttons because they are close enough that they are easily accessible but still separate from the main keyboard. The touchpad and mouse buttons work extremely well. The touchpad also has a region that serves the same function as the scroll wheel on a mouse. The only problem that I have noticed with this feature is that my right palm sometimes brushes the touchpad when I am typing and the screen scrolls a few lines. This is easily remedied by turning the touchpad off when typing long documents or when using an external mouse. The touchpad control button sits between the space bar and the touch pad. There is an orange LED that lets the user know if the touch pad control is on.
Input and Output Ports
There are multiple ports on both side panels of the computer. The left side panel contains the following ports:
* PMCIA slot
* USB 2.0 port
* Phone line and Ethernet ports
* Expansion base port (expansion base is sold separately)
* VGA monitor video output
In addition to the CD drive, the right side panel contains the following ports:
* 6-in-1 memory card reader
* Firewire port
* Two USB 2.0 ports
* S-Video output
The front panel contains the audio output, the microphone input, the display release button, various status lights, and stereo speakers. The AC power input port is located on the rear panel. Overall, I am impressed with the input and output port options on the V2000. It is nice to have three USB ports, and it is even nicer to have them on both side panels. My only complaint with configuration of the ports is that the AC power input is not very convenient to access on the rear panel. I would rather have the AC input port on one of the side panels, and have one of the less frequently used ports (VGA monitor or S-Video output) moved to the rear panel.
Wireless
I ordered my computer with the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 (without Bluetooth). The wireless card can be turned off directly from the keyboard by pressing the wireless button. There is a blue light on the wireless button that tells you when the card is turned on, and there is also a blue indicator light on the front panel that lets the user know when the wireless card is turned on. The wireless card has worked for me every time, and I am happy with its range and performance.
Battery
There are two battery options on the V2000: 6-cell lithium ion or 12-cell lithium ion. Because I was trying to minimize both the cost and the weight of the computer, I ordered the V2000 with the 6-cell battery. With everyday use, I can get almost three hours out of the 6-cell. This has worked out very well for my demands. I mainly use the computer at home, the school library, and at coffeehouses. Because I never seem to be very far from a power source, the battery life of the 6-cell has worked well for me. However, for those who need a longer battery life and are not bothered by a little extra weight, the V2000 can be ordered with a 12-cell battery (instead of the 6-cell) for an additional $25.
Operating System and Software
The V2000 comes with either the Home or Professional editions of Windows XP. The operating system was already installed when the computer was delivered, and the operating system disks were included with the manuals. The computer was delivered with a thin "Getting Started" manual. The more comprehensive manual is on a CD that comes with the computer.
Warranty and Customer Support
Although I was on a quest to keep the cost of this computer as low as I could, I purchased an additional warranty so that I could have a little extra peace of mind. I bought the 2 year Express Repair coverage for $99.99. The warranty information was delivered in a separate box with the extended warranty information, a warranty sticker, and mail-in registration forms. I have not had a chance to evaluate this coverage yet because I have not had any problems with the computer.
Conclusion
Although the Compaq Presario V2000 is not the smallest and lightest notebook on the market, I am happy that I bought this computer. The widescreen design gives the V2000 a significant functional advantage with little impact on its portability. Despite a few minor design concerns (the AC input on the back panel, the CD drive door, and the thickness), I would recommend this to computer to someone who wants a middle-of-the-road computer for decent price. The custom options allowed me to build a computer that suited my basic needs while keeping the cost within my range. The custom options are also flexible enough that more sophisticated users can upgrade to more powerful options. This makes the V2000 well-suited to a wide range of users.

Samsung Series 9 900X1B Subnotebook Review
Samsung wants to continue the success of the series more 900X3A 900X1B 9. The South Korean company fuses performance and battery life in an ultra-slim case and elegant, probably duralumin. Read this review if Samsung has launched its first market ultrabook 900X1B and if the Apple MacBook Air 11 must redouble its efforts.
A thin case made of a material called duralumin little known, high-performance computing good for a car and last but not least, a high quality screen is the basis for a successful subnotebook. Samsung surprised us all with the new 9 Series for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The series includes the recently reviewed Samsung Series 9 900X3A subnotebook with a 13.3-inch screen, among others. Amazement was followed by disappointment that the lower 900X1B was to be sold exclusively in the U.S. market today. About six months after CES 2011 to launch the smallest member of the series took place in Germany.
As for looks, Samsung continues, we tested the image of his older brother 900X1B Series 9-A02. This also applies to the clearing and the features offered. Mat, 11.6 inches with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels acts as the screen.
They are rarely used Intel Core i3-2357M ULV processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz and Hyper Threading support functions inside. 4 GB RAM, Intel GMA 3000 HD graphics and a capacity of 64 GB of SSD are part of the setup functions. The extent of the interface was reduced to the essential, but it is still state of the art with the mini-USB 3.0 and HDMI.
In addition to 3D, and the trend of smart phones, tablets, was sure of ultra-book category of the Intel started. Among the various devices with 11.6 and 13.3-inch screens. The UX21 and UX31 examples would be Asus, Acer Aspire S3, the Lenovo U300 and Toshiba Portege Z830.
Samsung 900X1B play right here in the league, and is available immediately. Other vendors can not serve this. Samsung has done its ultra-book. We 900X1B-A02, goes against 999 (RRP) and is aimed at exactly the price range for this new category of devices.
Specifications Samsung 900X1B-A02 :
There is no doubt that the Samsung 9 Series with the polarizing design. Around the black case looks elegant and timeless. Silver casing with rounded edges and provide a nice accent. The choice of material, this subnotebook is also a mixture of Duraluminum, which is found to be greater torsional stiffness compared to pure aluminum.
Consistent design makes an impression. This is particularly due to the same material is used, with the exception of the screen frame. The criticism is, however, apply to: Matt brushed surfaces are very sensitive to fingerprints and not easy to clean polished frame, or read the keyboard.
Samsung has naturally hidden interfaces, through which a simple plastic cover does not fit the shaky image. If stability is impressive at this low height and weight. The rest of the interpretation on the keyboard and the wrist slightly, while clearly under strong selective pressure.
The display cover can not keep the image. It can be easily twisted and waves develop on the screen. Therefore, interfering with the LED lighting when pressure is applied to the outside. You should try to the screen with the utmost care, because cracks are heard when twisting. This therefore could lead to a crack.
See the total weight of the lightest subnotebook Samsung is true only £ 1.07. For comparison, a Lenovo ThinkPad X121e is considerably heavier than 1.55 (31%), Apple MacBook Air 11 Mid-2011 is a heavy one and is not yet available on the Asus UX21 Ultra-Book is also in this region, and 1.1 pounds.
The case is at the bottom is sealed. However, it can be opened after removing eight screws that are cleverly hidden under the rubber feet and many hooks. The interior is dominated by a Big 4-cell battery. RAM is directly soldered to the motherboard and can not be replaced. The built-in SSD memory is inserted into a connector MSAT.
Connectivity
Samsung also is behind the ports of two covers on the left and right sides of the box on this device. Unlike 900X3A, are two small "sliding doors". The most important interfaces are installed in the form of a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 port, microphone and a HDMI connector for micro SD card reader. Samsung has opted for an audio port and a proprietary combo connector that connects via RJ45 adapter for space reasons.
Usually, a satisfactory picture, despite a docking port on the basis of an HDMI device and is not relevant to the delivery. There is no reason to complain about the distribution of the interface. However, always lift the device to access a port because the port position and the relatively low down. Although a bit annoying, apparently there is no alternative to this design.
Communication
There is only one thing to hope the information through an integrated module for 3G UMTS wireless internet. Otherwise, everything is the latest standard, 802.11n WLAN, Bluetooth 3.0 + HS, and even Gigabit LAN. However, with the adapter is not connected to the cable network.
Accessories
The 900X1B comes in a carton complex of high quality. In addition to laptops and reference material, the corresponding RJ45 adapter, a DVD and recovery software and an adapter 40 watt with power cord are included in delivery. The latter is less compact than the power cord adapter included with the Samsung Series 9 900X3A with cumbersome connector system. A rather silly gadget of supply is likely that the handbag included for sub-notebooks packing.
The installed software bundle is consistent with the usual standard. In addition to Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, PDF Reader and maybe Skype is a lot of bloatware installed, and we recommend that you remove all of the following programs. Norton again proves to be particularly peeving as he repeatedly jumps on the screen in its own window with a message.
Warranty
Samsung warranty period for 24 months the device. Warranty Plus is available for 79 euros to 139 euros (RRP), and contains 36 or 48 months of on-site warranty for pick-up (the date of purchase). Updates must be registered within 90 days from date of purchase.
Display
Samsung has announced the use of high-quality screens for the range again to display in your way during the CeBIT 2011. The company presented this screen 900X3A very bright in the recently revised, as we never had before in our offices. The Samsung Series 9 9001XA has a 11.6-inch matte screen is to continue this trend in premiums.
The screen SEC3052 model is average with a native resolution of 1366x768 pixels in 16:9 format. Windows 7 is not compatible with any level of resolution. However, an external monitor can be connected via the HDMI port micro. The appropriate adapter is unfortunately not within the scope of supplies and must be purchased separately (€ 29 Samsung).
Display shines a maximum brightness of 357 cd/m2, as measured by the instrument, Gossen Mayo Monitor and a good average. Also latest version of Apple MacBook Air 11 is to admit defeat at this point. Small LEDs light up the screen for a 87%, when the brightness is reduced to the left and right according to our feet. However, this difference can not be seen with the naked eye.
Other measures confirm the use of high quality TN. The contrast (420:1) and the value black (0.8 cd/m2) are not as good as the brightness, but still impressive. The black color reproduction is saturated and the contrast must also comply with viewers.
The professional user will also discuss the range of reproducible colors. Verdict: The device is not suitable for professional use, since the range sRGB is not reached. The 900X3A However, do not do much better in comparison.
The combination of a matte display surface, good brightness and contrast ratio is seen in an appropriate outdoor use. Despite the reduction in battery mode brightness (279 cd/m2), the content remains legible even in direct light incidence. Reflections of the environment, as seen in the Apple MacBook Air 11 in mid-2011 with a glare-type screen, not a problem.
The stability of the end viewing angle overall impression of the screen. Stable Render horizontal curves to close permanently and no deviations. The vertical plane is not as generous, but the differences remain within the limits for a cheap TN screen. Overall, an impressive display is entitled to first place in this category.
Performance
The heart of the Samsung Series 9 900X1B subnotebook has an Intel Core i3-2357M Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) dual core processor with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz 2x. Unlike Intel Core i5-2537, which is installed in the 900X3A, the smaller version of our model does not have the automatic overclocking function, also known as Turbo Boost 2.0.
The low energy loss (TDP) of 17 watts, a 3 MB L3 cache and support for Hyper-Threading technology (2 cores, 4 threads) are maintained. The HM65 Intel creates the basis for this architecture (Cougar Point 2.0, B3 stepping).
Similarly, the joint-Sandy Bridge processors, DDR3 memory controller and Intel GMA 3000 HD graphics are installed. Memory controller can handle up to 16 basically GBS. However, RAM is soldered to the motherboard, and so firmly, 4096 MB configuration is also the largest.
The instrument is solid state memory size of the paper and MSAT Samsung (MZMPA064HMDR, 64 GB). You can change when you remove it from the bottom plate. We will discuss this topic during the review.
Maxon CPU benchmarks begin our journey. Intel Core i3-2357M scored 4661 points in Cinebench R10 (64 bit) and multi-threaded rendering and ranked in the bottom third of our database. AMD new A4 3300M APU or more Intel Core i3 380UM processor is at a similar level. The 900X3A with an Intel Core i5-2537 m processor has only slightly ahead of 5127 points (10%).
Cinebench R11.5 confirms the dual core ULV processor is a small relatively poor performance (1.2 points). Intel Core i5-2537 m can get an advance of 22% (1.4 points) in this benchmark. The low power processor is not noticed in the use of routine, with Solid State Drive (SSD) and the system generally works smoothly, without long boot times.
The Intel GMA 3000 HD graphics are not convincing in the game of synthetic benchmarks. With a score of 1392 points in 3DMark 06, the 900X1B is in the bottom third of our database and is surrounded by laptops with an integrated GMA Arrandale HD.
Most 900X3A achieved a score of 2788 points in a different resolution (1280x768 pixels) and has an advantage of 50%. However, the difference in resolution should be considered. In general, this is a pretty mediocre performance and 3D graphics unit before one for multimedia use.
The Solid State Drive Fast pay into the system of benchmarks from Futuremark, which assesses the total package given. Configuration reached 5787 points in the PCMark Vantage slightly older, and is therefore in line with various multimedia notebooks without SSD.
For example. HP EliteBook 2560p or Samsung RF711-S02DE with a quad core processor and other 900X3A scores improved by 50% with a total score of 8657 points. Placement 900X1B well in the midfield from the top is confirmed in the last 7 PCMark (2355 points).
Solid-state drive form factor mSATA is the choice when space is a problem. Samsung to rely on their production model that offers the gross capacity of 64 GBS. SSD is a good overall impression, which has a maximum transfer rate 247 Mb / s (read) to 172 MB / sec write.
Ticket price is impressive. Samsung Card can not remain at the forefront III SATA SSD, though. In theory, you can replace the card. In practice, not a lot of options, and costs are relatively high. We recommend a fast memory card Micro SD memory expansion option.
Game Verdict
The combination of a low-power processor and integrated graphics unit is overloaded in its gaming performance. Rates are at their limits, even in the graphs of the slopes unpretentious and minimal settings. The refresh rate (fps) is constant in the red, the field unplayable in recent games. Overall, it is a unit for office applications and multimedia. Casual players will not be satisfied with the Samsung 9 Series 900X1B.
Emissions
System Noise
Thank you to the SSD and lack of an optical drive, case fan to be even the only source of noise in 900X1B. We measured a maximum of 32.9 dB (A) in desktop mode (inactive). The fan is mostly inactive, and the unit is silent in most cases. This corresponds to a speed of 27.4 dB (A) in our gauge (background noise in very quiet environments). The fan is active during loading and unloading an average of 39 dB (A). Fortunately, the fan does not whine and be seen as a uniform noise. A bonus point is rapid decrease in fan speed after loading.
Temperature
900X1B copies of his older brother and always kept fresh in standby mode. A difference in the off state is not noticeable. It looks different in our stress test with Prime95 and Furmark. Temperatures at the top quickly nasty fall in the range red. The difference is significant, with a maximum of 53.1 ° C in the area of air outlet and an average of 36 ° C at the top. The keys and the wrist is still important ergonomic pleasantly cool in this extreme situation, however.
Given these external temperatures, you have to take a look. Main CPU temperature for up to 70 ° C at the beginning of our stress test tools such as Prime95 (CPU) and Furmark (GPU). After several hours of rising temperatures, but remained within the limits with a maximum temperature of 85 ° C. We note that these fees can not be seen as an (approximate rate hwinfo), raw. CPU thermal limitation is not produced in accordance with these observations.
Speakers
With an output power of 1.5 watts each, the two stereo speakers are not unusual, but the noise is an acceptable print. The light spots and high diffusion, even places deep basses are to some extent. An obvious disadvantage is their location on the bottom of the unit.
The sound changes and intense depending on the surface. The maximum volume is more than adequate and does not affect the reading. However, stakeholders can not replace good external speakers or headphones can be connected via 3.5 mm jack or HDMI combo.
Battery Life
The clear differences in the waste heat is also reflected in the rate of consumption. The subnotebook is between 5.3 and 9.3 watts in standby mode and consumes far less than some netbooks. One reason for this is energy saving Intel Core i5-2357M-ULV CPU, which is specified for a loss of power (TDP) of only 17 watts, with the GPU. 9 The largest series 900X3A consumes nearly twice the sample with a maximum of 16.6 watts in office.
Energy consumption naturally increases in load, but is still acceptable, with only 29.9 watts. The AC input power at maximum power of 40 watts is not even close to being exhausted. 900X3A The difference is much smaller with 4 watts in this test. A look at the simple test shows that the stress test the CPU, Prime95, 23 watts, claims for itself. Off-state consumption, respectively, before, nothing unusual at 0.1 and 0.2 watts.
Less than 900X1B hood, 4-cell lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 42 Wh credits most of the space available. The advantage of lithium-polymer battery is usually a better battery life and options for adaptation, because the battery is made of sheets of very thin electrodes. Unlike the common-ion battery, the downside is a longer battery life (165 minutes).
Back to battery life: Classic BatteryEater test system loads with a maximum brightness of display, the keyboard lights on and activated WLAN. The battery capacity is fully utilized in 2 hours and 29 minutes in this scenario. Contrary to what is nine hours and 13 minutes is only possible when reading a text document (reading test). The screen brightness is reduced, and the light of the keyboard and WLAN adapter has been disabled for this test.
The systematic use and therefore a practical measure is called "surfing via WLAN." The brightness of the screen is at a comfortable level and the WLAN module is enabled for this test. With a battery life of 5 hours and 56 minutes, the subnotebook is basically good impression since it is only a 4-cell battery. The placement of the internal energy is a disadvantage. The change should only be done by a dealer.
Verdict
Samsung Series 9 900X1B the starting line in the form of a thin, elegant subnotebook with an awesome job, Matt, and, above all, an impressive 11.6-inch HD and good battery life. Together with the i3-2357M Intel Core ULV processor and a fast 64 GB solid state disk (SSD), the combination adds that leaves a lot faster than the parameters of the portable system. This presentation does not apply to performance 3D integrated GMA 3000 HD graphics unit.
The subnotebooks earn bonus points with more input devices, low weight and overall dimensions. The device configuration is done by the state of the art, is that the interfaces are limited to the essentials and a 3G module can not find a place inside.
The time required to recharge the battery case temperature under load is more negative points. If you are looking for a sleek subnotebooks with a performance of proper application and offside Windows from Apple MacBook Air 11 in mid-2011, you will be just to Samsung.
Although the company does not explicitly market a series of nine "ultra-book", the devices fulfill the requirement of a few points in the Intel catalog. Samsung Advantage: Both great 900X1B 900X3A We looked at this and are now available. Our test equipment is sold for 999 euros (RRP), including value added tax.
A thin case made of a material called duralumin little known, high-performance computing good for a car and last but not least, a high quality screen is the basis for a successful subnotebook. Samsung surprised us all with the new 9 Series for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The series includes the recently reviewed Samsung Series 9 900X3A subnotebook with a 13.3-inch screen, among others. Amazement was followed by disappointment that the lower 900X1B was to be sold exclusively in the U.S. market today. About six months after CES 2011 to launch the smallest member of the series took place in Germany.
As for looks, Samsung continues, we tested the image of his older brother 900X1B Series 9-A02. This also applies to the clearing and the features offered. Mat, 11.6 inches with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels acts as the screen.
They are rarely used Intel Core i3-2357M ULV processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz and Hyper Threading support functions inside. 4 GB RAM, Intel GMA 3000 HD graphics and a capacity of 64 GB of SSD are part of the setup functions. The extent of the interface was reduced to the essential, but it is still state of the art with the mini-USB 3.0 and HDMI.
In addition to 3D, and the trend of smart phones, tablets, was sure of ultra-book category of the Intel started. Among the various devices with 11.6 and 13.3-inch screens. The UX21 and UX31 examples would be Asus, Acer Aspire S3, the Lenovo U300 and Toshiba Portege Z830.
Samsung 900X1B play right here in the league, and is available immediately. Other vendors can not serve this. Samsung has done its ultra-book. We 900X1B-A02, goes against 999 (RRP) and is aimed at exactly the price range for this new category of devices.

One reason for this is energy saving Intel Core i5-2357M-ULV CPU, which is specified for a loss of power (TDP) of only 17 watts, with the GPU. 9 The largest series 900X3A consumes nearly twice the sample with a maximum of 16.6 watts in office.
Energy consumption naturally increases in load, but is still acceptable, with only 29.9 watts. The AC input power at maximum power of 40 watts is not even close to being exhausted. 900X3A The difference is much smaller with 4 watts in this test. A look at the simple test shows that the stress test the CPU, Prime95, 23 watts, claims for itself. Off-state consumption, respectively, before, nothing unusual at 0.1 and 0.2 watts.
Less than 900X1B hood, 4-cell lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 42 Wh credits most of the space available. The advantage of lithium-polymer battery is usually a better battery life and options for adaptation, because the battery is made of sheets of very thin electrodes. Unlike the common-ion battery, the downside is a longer battery life (165 minutes).
Back to battery life: Classic BatteryEater test system loads with a maximum brightness of display, the keyboard lights on and activated WLAN. The battery capacity is fully utilized in 2 hours and 29 minutes in this scenario. Contrary to what is nine hours and 13 minutes is only possible when reading a text document (reading test). The screen brightness is reduced, and the light of the keyboard and WLAN adapter has been disabled for this test.
The systematic use and therefore a practical measure is called "surfing via WLAN." The brightness of the screen is at a comfortable level and the WLAN module is enabled for this test. With a battery life of 5 hours and 56 minutes, the subnotebook is basically good impression since it is only a 4-cell battery. The placement of the internal energy is a disadvantage. The change should only be done by a dealer.
Verdict
Samsung Series 9 900X1B the starting line in the form of a thin, elegant subnotebook with an awesome job, Matt, and, above all, an impressive 11.6-inch HD and good battery life. Together with the i3-2357M Intel Core ULV processor and a fast 64 GB solid state disk (SSD), the combination adds that leaves a lot faster than the parameters of the portable system. This presentation does not apply to performance 3D integrated GMA 3000 HD graphics unit.
The subnotebooks earn bonus points with more input devices, low weight and overall dimensions. The device configuration is done by the state of the art, is that the interfaces are limited to the essentials and a 3G module can not find a place inside.
The time required to recharge the battery case temperature under load is more negative points. If you are looking for a sleek subnotebooks with a performance of proper application and offside Windows from Apple MacBook Air 11 in mid-2011, you will be just to Samsung.
Although the company does not explicitly market a series of nine "ultra-book", the devices fulfill the requirement of a few points in the Intel catalog. Samsung Advantage: Both great 900X1B 900X3A We looked at this and are now available. Our test equipment is sold for 999 euros (RRP), including value added tax.

Lenovo G560
The Essential G560 is Lenovo’s entry-level 15.6” notebook. It sports an Intel Core i3 processor, full-size keyboard with number pad, and a starting price around $600. Read our review to find out more.
Our Lenovo Essential G560 review unit has the following specifications:
Build and Design
The G560 has a modest-looking exterior with a few high-quality touches. The palm rest area is inlaid with brushed aluminum, which feels cool to the touch. The G560 is rather thin and light given its 15.6” screen, coming in at a shade under six pounds and about 1.3” thin. Despite its all-plastic construction the G560 has a solid feel. The palm rest and areas surrounding the keyboard have good support and do not flex, even under abnormal pressure. The plastic used in the construction has satisfactory quality; it is thick enough to not feel brittle yet not something I would classify as durable.
Unlike the chassis, the lid is covered in smooth glossy plastic, which attracts dust and fingerprints. This is a con – the glossy plastic gets messy quickly unless a microfiber cloth is kept handy at all times. The build quality of the lid itself is average and not as good as the chassis. It flexes easily when twisted by the corners and I made ripples appear on the screen when I pushed in on the back. The G560’s overall build quality is satisfactory; my only real complaint is the glossy plastic used on the lid.
