For less than 1400 euros, it incorporates a dedicated graphics card Nvidia premium associated with Optimus technology, Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor, a good amount of RAM, hard drive capacity, a Full HD panel, a keyboard chiclet backlit, a Harman Kardon audio solution but also a connectivity including HDMI, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and Intel Wireless Display.

The Toshiba pa3534u-1brs Qosmio X870-156 is for those who have a good budget and want to be equipped with a versatile laptop size but big powerful players.

To attract them, it incorporates a dedicated high-end graphics card, the GeForce GTX 670M. Admittedly, this is not the most recent time with his Fermi architecture in 40nm whereas the GTX 670MX Version advantage of Kepler 28nm but it appears nevertheless powerful. The user can through her indulge in her favorite games, including the newest and resource intensive 3D with minor concessions in the past.

Toshiba pa3535u 1brs must be said that the high resolution Full HD slab requires more calculations to the GPU as 1366x768 for example implying a lower number of fps for the same game and gave little impact on the flow. Despite all thanks to the power of the GTX 670M, many titles can pass a good level of detail in native resolution on this laptop.

The Toshiba pa3819u-1brs screen therefore offers a large, well suited for HD content viewing and leisure space and especially the HD video playback with the 16:9 format and glossy treatment that brings out the colors but appears susceptible to reflections . So, the lack of Blu-Ray reader will annoy some.

Remains with his nice amount of RAM and 8 GB Core i7-3630QM processor, this laptop delivers solid performance in all situations, including of course in multitasking that allows you to see ahead. In addition, these components are very well suited for demanding applications in RAM and CPU resources exploiting four cores Ivy Bridge processor, which is the case for example in 3D, video editing and photo editing made: the treatments are so much more fast with 4GB DDR3 and a Dual Core processor.

If the GeForce GTX 670M is requested during heavy graphics work, the Toshiba pa3451u 1brs laptop is running on maximum graphics Intel HD 4000 integrated Core i7. Although less powerful though it can still handle 1080p HD video, it is also more energy efficient resulting in greater autonomy.

It’s Optimus technology which is responsible for the switch to Intel HD 4000 GeForce GTX 670M and vice versa automatically and in real time according to the tasks requested by the user.

This Toshiba satellite p300 battery laptop also enjoys a good connectivity, including wireless with Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi modules n with Intel Wireless Display technology to stream to a TV WiDi or connected to adequate housing content on the PC and to the distance and wireless.

The connector also includes four USB 3.0 compatible USB 2.0 delivers faster transfers than USB 2.0 if one branch of USB 3.0 devices, two of which are equipped with the technology to recharge Sleep’N’Charge a small device even if the PC is in standby or off. In these states, it is also possible to stream on-speaker Harman Kardon music from a small device (MP3 player that) plugged into the microphone jack.

For Toshiba satellite a305 battery part, the hard disk has a capacity of 1000 GB can store it so many diverse and varied files also install amount of games and software. However bad it is not faster which would further strengthened system responsiveness that no shortage still at the base.

HP Envy 6 test

image

The touchpad offers multitouch all features (zoom / de-zoom with two fingers and scroll to 2, 3 and 4 fingers) and a pretty good glide. Unfortunately, the coating is the same as the 14-inch model. It retains fingerprints and hangs when the pressure is too strong.

Small disappointment on the keyboard if it still fits as well in the chassis, HP has used exactly the same keyboard as the HP probook 4520s battery Envy 4. We therefore have an unused over 3 cm on each side band. This gave way to a keypad.

As on many HP 625 battery notebooks, shortcuts (volume control, brightness of the screen and keyboard …) do not require that you press the fn key to be used. In contrast, the F1, F2 require pressure combined with the function key.

Connectivity, the HP Probook 4320s battery Envy 6 provides the means to meet current needs with 3 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI output, an SD card reader, an RJ45 port, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. Good news, contrary to what is found on other ultrabooks, here, all the connectors are standard, but optional adapters.

The Envy 6 makes very little noise. Even when components are stress, the fan is quiet. However, the rise in temperature seems to suffer. Despite the single processor Core i3 low consumption, it rises in places to nearly 50 ° C. It is not dangerous to the health of components, but it can be quite unpleasant for the knees.

Received test configuration includes an Intel Core i3-2367M processor, 4GB of memory, Intel HD 3000 graphics chipset, and a 128 GB SSD Unlike the rest of the test, which is valid for all Envy 6 (see box below cons), only the variation tested here is concerned with our comments on the performance and HP 620 battery life.

Little surprise side computing power. Equipped with an Intel Core i3-2367M processor and 4GB of RAM, the Envy 6 walks in office and internet browsing and keeps a little room for a little heavier as the video encoding tasks. While not the fastest in its class, it will be perfectly at home in common use. It should not, however, count on him when you need power at all costs.

With 2.5 kg and autonomy (video playback, screen 100 cd / m², Wi-Fi off and headphones plugged) of 5:07, the  HP BQ350AA Envy 6 is a public interest in the search for a mobile machine. However, it is important to remember that if it is less than 2 cm thick, its other measurements (width 374 mm and length 252.8 mm) rank near the 15.6-inch “common”. Slip into a backpack is not always easy.

Dell Vostro V131 Test

image

Die Tastatur hatte ein wenig Transformation. Es ist nun der von hinten beleuchteten Chiclet-Tasten vorgenommen. Für den Rest ist keine Veränderung, Typisierung noch weich und komfortabel, und auch Schlüssel zu ihrem Standard-Zimmer.

Das Multitouch-Touchpad ist die gleiche wie die Dell inspiron 1420 akku V130. Es ist immer präzise und bietet eine angenehme und reibungslose Fahrt.

Die Webcam bietet V131 ordnungsgemäße Erbringung. Die schwarze nicht blockiert ist, das weiß nicht verbrannt wird, ist die Rückkehr Bewegung Flüssigkeit. Einziges Manko: das Bild hat eine leichte Tendenz zu schwärmen.

Während die meisten der Verbindungen der V130 wurde auf der Rückseite des Dell inspiron 1545 akku V131 konzentriert an den Seiten entfernt. Auf der rechten Seite ist ein RJ45-(Ethernet)-Anschluss, VGA-Ausgang, zwei USB 3.0 Ports und ein Kopfhöreranschluss. Auf der linken Seite einen HDMI-Ausgang, USB 2.0 und ein SD-Karten-Steckplatz. Auf der Rückseite gibt es nur den Netzstecker.

Relativ ruhig am Anfang, wird dieses Notebook zu hören, wenn ein Programm oder drücken Sie ein Bit-Komponenten installiert sind. Für die Abdeckung wird Hintergrundmusik erforderlich. Für seinen Teil, könnte die Vertreibung der Hitze System intelligenter gestaltet werden. In der Tat, mit der Veröffentlichung von der Luft auf der Seite und auf dem Boden, wird es schnell unbequem, um es auf dem Schoß haben. Mit einem System vertreiben heiße Luft zwischen dem Chassis und Bildschirm, zum Beispiel, könnten wir diese Art von Unannehmlichkeiten vermieden werden können.

Berechnungen: gute Leistung

Während das Dell xps m1730 akku V130 musste für einen Low-Power-Prozessor absetzen bietet das V131 einen Core i5-2410M, viel mächtiger. Sehr präsent in den Notebooks des Jahres 2011, kann sie alles anfassen. Das Büro und das Surfen im Internet sind ein Kinderspiel für ihn. Für anspruchsvollere Anwendungen (Video-Encoding, 3D-Modellierung, Dekompression), ist es immer noch wirksam und zeigt durchaus sinnvoll Rechenzeit.

Wiedergabe von Videos in High Definition (HD 1080p Blu-ray-Äquivalent) glatt geht. Wir empfehlen es für den Einsatz der Video-Wiedergabe-Funktionen des integrierten Grafik (Intel HD 3000). Diese Hardware-Unterstützung für Full HD 1080p-Videos, ohne den Prozessor zu decodieren ist dann frei für andere Aufgaben.

Starten des Dell inspiron 17r akku Windows 7 64-Bit wird in 43 Sekunden aufgebaut. Es dauert dann zwischen 10 und 20 Sekunden, um andere Software zu starten und eine Verbindung zu einem Wi-Fi-Netzwerk Die vollständige Auslöschung ist wiederum weniger als 10 Sekunden.

Ohne eine dedizierte Grafikkarte, ist die V131 nicht mehr in der Lage als der V130 für 3D-Spiele-Performance Kurz, es kann noch laufen letzten Spiele wie Starcraft 2 oder Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 mit Grafikdetails auf Minimum, kein Fan Traum Spiel, außer vielleicht diejenigen, die den Retro-Gaming üben …

Mit seinem 6-Zellen-Akku (65 Wh), der Dell m911g V131-Displays eine Reihe von 4.35 (Video-Wiedergabe, Kopfhörer eingesteckt in, Bildschirm mit 100 cd / m², Wi-Fi und Bluetooth aus). Ist 2 Stunden besser als der V130 - wenn auch weniger stark - unter den gleichen Bedingungen. Side Gewicht, 1,8 kg auf die Waage, ist es durchaus möglich, ein paar Stunden in einem Rucksack zu tragen. Das Asus U36SD bleibt aber autonom (5:15) und leichter (1,66 kg).

Die Dell k450n V131 hat eine matte Panel. Es ist viel weniger empfindlich auf Reflexionen, die Modelle mit einer glänzenden. Leider seiner begrenzten Helligkeit erlaubt es nicht zu leicht lesbar im Freien oder bei hellem Licht sein.

Die Technologie ist offensichtlich TN, mit einer äquivalenten Persistenzmodelle 5 ms. Folglich sind die High-und Low Vision Winkel kurz und einfach ausreichende Reaktivität für den Einsatz im Büro und für Filme.

Die Farben sind völlig falsch mit einem Standard (DeltaE) von 12,9 und eine sehr starke Verschiebung hin kolorimetrischen Blues. Der Kontrast ist einfach katastrophal. Früher haben wir mit geringem Kontrast Platten auf Laptops zu treffen, aber es gibt kaum erreicht 206:1 (Schwarzwert von 0,80 cd / m², für weißen bis 164 cd / m²). An diesem Punkt hat der V131 deshalb nicht gegenüber dem V130 erhöht.
