Advan Vanbook P3N

With Dual Core and Lega Screen
For those who feel too mini netbook screen size, Advan has a solution with a larger screen. Still including whether this netbook?

Basically Intel classifies netbooks with screen sizes 10 inches down. It's for the effectiveness of the Intel Atom processor which is believed to be optimized for computing on the screen that big. However, many analysts argue that the reason is because processor manufacturers Intel has other reasons. The reason for this is Intel's "scared" when the netbook comes with a large screen, the notebook market (which incidentally uses Intel CPUs in the upper-class Atom) be eroded. Consumers, of course, prefer a netbook with a bigger screen but cheaper than the more expensive notebooks.

Well, this time presumably Advan netbook is the one that deviated from the objectives proposed by Intel. Because the product is applied 13.3-inch screen size which is more often applied to the notebook. While this is very rarely Atom based netbook comes with a screen this big.

Advan own party reportedly netbooknya intentionally enlarge the screen in response to consumer complaints (which was generally too small netbook screen though to run the computing activity light). This at least proves that the netbook Intel anxiety can undermine a large sail notebook market.

Form-51 125 Vanbook P3N themselves are becoming more like a notebook with a full-sized keyboard (which is more comfortable) and the touchpad is also more spacious than most netbooks. However, to synchronize a wide screen of this size, the left side and right beside the keyboard netbook has been extended so as to create a niche arch at the bottom (where the input-output port for dwelling). This design is actually interesting, but the position of the holes I / O is somewhat into this a little inconvenient when you are plugging the VGA D-sub or the stick into the USB. At least you have to tilt the first netbook.

Besides design, other factors of interest in Vanbook P3N is planting Pineview Atom CPU type-D (D510). This is an Atom dual-core processor with 1.66 GHz clock. Clock is slightly higher than the Acer Aspire One with Atom type Pineview D255-M (N550) is based on 1.5 GHz clock we tried last month. Dual-core Atom does offer better advantages in applications that require multitasking computing. The good news, the ranks of dual-core Atom netbooks sold at prices competitive with single-core Atom-based (single-core).

Axioo Neon CLW 7620

The Compact is hurried
Behind her small, hidden topnotch performance. Good choice for those who need a notebook rushed during the trip.

Using a fast processor for small-sized notebook actually has its own challenges. Because the heat is removed the processor must be out in an optimal order not trapped in a limited area of the notebook.

But the Axioo answered these challenges successfully through their latest notebook, Neon CLW 7620. Armed with Tralivent Cooling technology, Toshiba is able to enter the upper class processor Intel Core i7-620M (two core, 2.66 GHz) into 12-inch notebook screen size. This notebook was a perfect pass on the burning test we did. Although we give full load for several hours, the notebook is still able to keep the heat on his body. If we calculate the temperature at the back of the hand and the keyboard is maintained below the 30oC. Generated fan noise was still audible whisper, indicating the internal cooling system that works perfectly transferring heat.

With the provision of these processors, which assisted 4GB DDR3 memory, this notebook has good performance, especially for 12-inch notebook class. If you view the test results, this notebook competing with Alverstone Byon M8340 in processor-based testing. But because it uses the onboard Intel HD graphics card, 7620 CLW Neon indeed can only be used for simple graphics applications. But do not worry, this notebook still can play 1080p HD video smoothly. As for battery life, this notebook lasted about 3 hours when running a text-less a lot longer if you use this notebook outdoors.

Another innovation we liked the design of this notebook is the touchpad is a hexagon-shaped. Left and right side wider angle, adjusting the hand position while typing. According to Toshiba, hexapad design was designed for the touchpad area not often tersenggol hands accidentally.

Other facilities provided by the notebook itself slightly above the standard. Apart from compulsory amenities such as WiFi, card reader, and camera, this notebook has Bluetooth and Express Card; two facilities recently uninstalled most notebooks. A unique, this notebook also provides a special button for social networking site on the side of the screen. By pressing the button, the notebook will automatically open a browser and go site Facebook and Twitter (which you specified earlier). In addition to the social networking, there are also buttons instant messenger and email.

Prolink Glee SW9

Enchantment New Arrivals
Prolink trying to spread the wings to the notebook market. There is a special attraction that can captivate us.
During this time, if we hear brand Prolink, which immediately come to mind certainly is not far from network devices such as modems, routers, switches, and so forth.

Therefore, we were quite surprised to receive this time. Because the shipment contains a notebook. Our estimates, Prolink tempted scent portable computer market in Indonesia, which is predicted to be increasingly in demand next year.

Prolink named Glee carry computer series, similar to the title of foreign TV series that is loved in the country. The model we tested was SW9 which is also the "firstborn" in the family Glee.

In general, SW9 quite adequate specifications for most consumers. SW9 been strengthened Intel Core I3-370M. It's one of the latest model released i3 June. Clock was higher than the previous model (350M), which is 2.4 GHz. As a result, system performance proved to be above SW9 i3-350M notebook other, despite the excess number is not too significant.

Beyond the processor, Prolink Glee SW9 carrying standard components. For example, 2 GB DDR3 memory and Intel Graphics HD. However, Prolink generous enough to provide file and document storage space of 500 GB.

We tried to play the trailer the movie "Tron Legacy" Full-HD format. The film is running smoothly with a slick audio support as well. In fact, usually locally-made notebook equipped only mediocre quality speakers. Prolink Glee ciamik SW9 also display the screen thanks to an LED-backlit lighting. However, because the capital only the default VGA card, graphic testing with benchmarks STALKER Call of Pripyat only produce a score between 4.2 to 9.8 only.

One other thing that we think is special lies in the completeness of this Prolink prime notebook connectivity. In a way, almost all kinds of wired and wireless connections here. In addition to WiFi, Ethernet, and USB port, SW9 Glee also provides HDMI and eSATA connectivity. In fact, there is also a RJ-11 port for dial-up Internet connections are actually now becoming obsolete.

Unfortunately, sometimes we have trouble when plugging in the flash or the headphone jack into an existing portal. Perhaps this is due to the quality of built-up OEM Prolink is still less than perfect.

Byon Alverstone M8340-41

Behind the modesty
Behind the simple design, this notebook has great performance. Suitable for you who are not too concerned with style.

When the notebooks today are trying to entice prospective buyers through attractive design, Byon apparently still "keukeuh" put forward a simple and conservative design. This can be seen from their latest notebook, Alverstone M8340-41. Just look at the sexy curve of minimal design and color combination of black and silver are simply impressed.

However, do not underestimate this 14-inch notebook. Behind the simple appearance, Alverstone M8340-41 is a notebook with excellent performance. This is not out of the use of Intel Core i7-620M belonging to upper-class processors today. This processor has a speed of 2.66 GHz, but the Turbo facility allows increased speed up to 3.33 GHz.

Assisted-PC677 2GB DDR3 memory and 640 GB SATA hard drive capacity, this notebook is very satisfactory performance. Even when compared with dual-core Core i7 notebooks we ever tested, Alverstone M8340 recorded the best result in a squeeze test processor work like Sysmark 2007 or encoding video / audio. As for the 3D tests, this notebook appears tolerable thanks to the use of Nvidia GeForce 310M (512MB)-although not yet as good as the Acer Aspire 5943G or Asus NX90.

Facilities provided by the notebook is also fairly complete. For cable-based connections you'll find an HDMI port and eSATA, while the wireless connection there is WiFi and Bluetooth. For both of the wireless facilities, Byon not provide a special button-both must be accessed via the Function button. But everytime we turn on or turn off the function, the information displayed on the screen.

The notebook itself only provides a shortcut button, which is the Power button Mode. This button contains 4 performance profiles as well as battery consumption, the Super Power Saver, Power Saver, Balanced, and Performance. This setting can actually do yourself in the Power Options menu in Windows 7, but the presence of a dedicated key makes the setup process was easy. However, it should be noted that all the settings are determined, so it can not be customized again.

With the price of IDR 10 million, this notebook does not include the operating system. However, Windows users can install themselves easily. Driver CD provided Byon is Auto-install, which will automatically detect what the components that need drivers. When we used to install Windows 7 Ultimate, we only need one click and direct the driver installation process runs about 10 minutes. Very easy.

From the use of, this notebook is also quite comfortable. Actually we were a little hesitant to see the keyboard is the distance between buttons look too tight. But helped the soft and responsive, we can reach the speed of a standard type with ease. Heat arising also maintained. When we perform a test burning for 1 hour, temperatures in the armrest area (which became the most heated area) is only about 31o.

MSI U230 Wind12

Powered Netbook Notebook
Although less popular, Neo Athlon X2 processor acts much more satisfactory than Atom-based netbook.
Most Atom-based netbook users must understand the level of agility of this processor is still somewhat responsible, including the Atom Dual-Core recently attended.

Atomic Design is intended for lightweight computing has implications for the awetnya battery power consumption (to support mobile outdoor activities).

But if you need more vivid netbook performance with power consumption can still be tolerated, netbook CPU Athlon X2 Neo might be an option. Examples of such cases we present through Wind12 U230 netbook from MSI this time.

Wind12 U230 netbook look like generally in the form of small and lightweight (1.4 kg). Actually, we consider the design of Win12 U230 casual despite its keyboard keys are presented in full size (so that makes it comfortable to wear typing). MSI calls her keyboard is structured EDS (Ergonomic De-Stress). The size of each console made 51% more width for the user's fingers can freely for a long time (especially for large fingers).

In the body of this netbook is attached label "Vision" as the distinctive identity of AMD on the device class. Yes, Wind12 U230 using dual core processor Athlon X2 Neo bekecepatan 1.6 GHz which is practically equivalent to Intel Core Duo T2350 with 1.86 GHz clock. Intel processors are commonly used in ultra-thin notebook class (which is light and thin with a focus on power saving).

But producers have confirmed U230 Wind12 character power consumption light for working at least 2x longer than the class notebook. Yes notebook, not netbook. It seems more like comparing Wind12 MSI U230 as an ultra-lightweight notebooks compared to equate it with the netbook.

Jike graphics processing needed a little better than a netbook, Wind12 U230 will not disappoint. This is thanks to wearing Radeon HD3200 graphics chip. Indeed, this chip is not considered a solid graphics products. But at least, performance is 5-6 times more powerful than the GMA3150 (which used to be planted on Atom-based netbook).

With this power, it is not surprising if Wind12 U230 is also equipped with HDMI ports to channel output to the LCD TV or projector if its 12.1-inch screen is considered less less extensive.

Advan Soulmate G4i-35132T

Beginner Class

Advan finally released its first notebook i3. The price is considered one of the cheapest on the market today. Since Intel launched its Core processor row i, all notebook vendors incentive to create products based on the latest platforms. This is especially true for beginners class segment, ie i3.

Just to remind, on InfoKomputer July 2010, we had to line up the test results of eight notebooks powered i3. Seven of them had a price under Rp 7 million. Tag lowest when it was offered by Axioo Neon C14 CNC priced 5 million.

Three months later, the record was broken by Advan-35132T G4i Soulmate who come to our lab. To redeem it, consumers simply spend as much as Rp4.499.000. But, it should be noted, Advan just bury DOS operating system in this notebook.

Beyond the price, actually Advan-35132T G4i presents things that are of a standard notebook i3. The design is not too special. Body layer so easy dijejaki glossy dust, oil stains, and fingerprints. Even so, we just liked the arches in the corners that eliminate the impression of rigid body.

Kekurangnyamanan unfortunately we feel on the keyboard. The design is really good, in the form of individual keys chiclet style with size is quite big. However, tolakannya feels a bit hard so uncomfortable when used for a long time. In fact, sometimes when typing, after pressing the keys, the same characters appear in sequence as if pressed twice.

G4i Advan-35132T is a notebook containing debutant Advan Intel Core processor speed 2.26 GHz 350M I3. Interestingly, this product uses PC3-10700 DDR3 memory with 667 MHz clock, slightly higher than its competitors, who generally uses PC-8500 533 MHz. Unfortunately, capacity is only 1 GB.

In order to facilitate the function of entertainment, Advan rely on Intel Graphics HD graphics card and 271 MB of hard disk space is 320 GB. Simply really, if you want to watch Full-HD video only. But, once played a game "Stalker: Clear Sky", the notebook is immediately exhausted. This is reflected in the size of the benchmarks that the numbers ranged between 2.10 to 4.20.

Quality 14 inch screen fairly okay with pretty wide viewing angle. If still not satisfied, just connect the notebook to LCD monitor via HDMI connection facilities.

Soulmate G4i Advan-35132T is only available in black. However, while this article was written, Advan has released a series of 35132S that have designs slightly different and more varied choice of colors, like blue, purple, and red.

HP Pavilion dv6-2134TX

Complete and Convenient

High-definition multimedia needs will be satisfied thanks to the support facilities available in this product. Not to mention a dazzling display screen makes it more comfortable to the eye.

As a notebook belonging to the line of entertainment notebooks, HP Pavilion 2134TX dv6-studded supporting facilities.

Look at the area of its sides are equipped with latest connectivity, ranging from FireWire, HDMI to eSATA. There is one unique port commonly found on some HP notebooks that is an expansion slot. This slot is usually used to connect your notebook to your HP docking output. Docking is usually has additional facilities in the form of connection such as COM ports, PS / 2, card reader, USB and others. Docking can also function as an additional battery.

In addition, the device also comes with support for Intel Core i7-720 as well as large memory (6 GB). As a multimedia notebook, 320M nVidia GeForce graphics card strong enough to accompany you in running a smooth high-definition movies. This graphic does support PureVideo HD to accelerate HD video content on the GPU. While affairs handed over to the audio output of Altec Lansing speakers that produce a fairly good sound quality. High tones can be voiced with clarity, while the low tones seemed berdetam.

Using the screen size of 15.6 inches, this product can produce a maximum resolution up to 1366x768 pixels. The resulting image quality is quite good, even is one of the best of which we are testing. One that we love about this notebook is the screen that is able to deliver rich color. We see the sharpness and color accuracy excellent. Display screen capable of displaying every color gradations clearly. This indicates a high contrast ratio. The blue color that characterized Windows 7 looks so warm in here. Warmth is also carried away when we use this notebook play movies Princess of the Sand which much of the combination of light and dark settings.

A unique, the keyboard seemed longer. This is because the keypad area has its own place like a PC keyboard. So PC users will not feel awkward when typing. Placement of the keyboard keys that have a distance of more meetings would not be comfortable, especially for those who have big fingers.

In terms of temperature produced, HP appear "cool". Area heat was felt on the keyboard, but still within reasonable limits (even tend comfortable). Although used for a long time, the temperature in this area ranged only between 25 ° C only. Perhaps because the temperature generated no heat, fans can work "relaxed" so that the resulting sound audible voice. Positive impact of various activities such as watching DVDs and others will be more comfortable.

As a multimedia notebook, the HP Pavilion dv6-2134TX have a strong performance thanks to Intel Core i7 processors with 6 GB memory support. 320M nVidia graphics are not intended to handle complex things (like to run high resolution games.) However, this graphics card powerful enough to use to run video encoding and other high-definition multimedia applications. Unfortunately, with size 47 Wh, the battery resistance becomes shorter, making it difficult for mobile users.

Acer Aspire 5943G

Enchanting Combination

Armed with top-class components, this notebook offers excellent performance. Combined cool design and complete facilities, the notebook did seem tempting.

Material classy, touchpad double function, and good performance. That is part of efforts to make the Acer Aspire 5943G notebook to be different than the other. Understandably, the price of Rp.13, 5 million, 15.4-inch notebook of this size is one of the most expensive notebooks in the range of Acer notebooks.

But the price is offset by a series of advantages that we call in advance. In terms of material, for example, Acer uses aluminum material that surrounds the back and notebook keyboard size is 15.4 inches. The use of aluminum can be seen in contrast with a black plastic material that characterizes the area around the screen and armrest.

Keyboard his own use separate design measuring 15x15 mm with a wide distance between the keys. As a result, the process of typing feels very comfortable and natural. However, similar praise can not be addressed to the touchpad. The reason, the touchpad using glass materials. From the side it looks cool, but the touchpad is made from glass having two major problems: the movement feels sluggish and very easy to get dirty.

Initially we were puzzled why Acer's "reckless" use of glass materials for the touchpad. But then we found the answer, ie the touchpad has two functions. If you press a special button which is nearby, beneath a layer of glass touchpad will show the flame lights featuring touch keys for multimedia applications.

The menu is displayed includes Music, Video, and navigation buttons (like Play, Pause, and Mute). Pressing the Music and Video will run a special application called Acer Arcade Deluxe. It should be noted when the touchpad is turned into the multimedia menu, the function of the touchpad becomes inactive. Honestly we never feel the need for special multimedia keys, but this method is to bring a futuristic effect of this notebook.

Meanwhile, to boost performance, this notebook weighs 3 kg equipped upscale component to ensure all applications run smoothly. Just look at the processors that use Intel Core i7 740-QM (4 core, 1.73 GHz). For business graphics, this notebook is relying on ATI Radeon HD5650 (1GB). This combination makes the Acer Aspire 5943G is tough in many applications, such as you can see from the test results. Which is also fun, this notebook battery could reach 2 hours to play video and 4.5 hours to run the text.

But there is one thing that disrupt the use of this notebook, which is the heat generated. The combination of poor cooling system and the use of magnesium material make the keyboard area feels hot when it is fully loaded for a long time.

Asus Eee PC 1018P

Improved Facilities

Additional facilities fingerprint access, USB 3.0, and lightweight aluminum material into the main strengths of this netbook. Quite dizzy also witnessed a series made by Asus netbook that sometimes appears at once in several models (which actually resemble one another).

Well in certain models, Asus accidentally brings a redesigned product with a revamp of interest such as the Eee PC series is 1018P. What are interesting? Overall, the cabinet structure 1018P is not much different from other models (1005, 1015, or 1016) which explores netbook features a sleek and lightweight.

Well in this series 1018P, Asus put on a strong lightweight aluminum material on the cover and keyboard palmrest area. You will easily feel the sensation of cold in this part due to the use of the material. Material like this is very good for heat spread from the netbook. The good, the use of aluminum does not necessarily make netbooks weight gets heavier.

Another reshuffle in sailing netbook 10.1 "this is the availability of two USB 3.0 ports (marked with the color blue ports) that can reach 10x speed USB 2.0 previously. For those who like to transfer large files (from flash or external hard drive), would have helped a lot via the presence of SuperSpeed connection like this.

Another auxiliary facilities also appear via the fingerprint detector near the keypad. Although the security function is rarely used of people, at least make 1018P completeness become more special than a netbook general.

For those who are often online with immediately, the presence of typical facilities Asus Instant-On will be very useful. Here has been available for menjelahi Internet browser application, agenda / schedule of tasks, folders photos, games lightly, until the antivirus service.

Unfortunately this system interfaces are still impressed stiff and slow. For those who are more skilled, upgrade to the latest version of the Cloud Gate Express will solve a problem like this. 

Testing Results

Armed Atom N475 clocked a slightly increased (1.83 GHz), the Eee PC works a bit faster than the previous netbook with Atom (N450 1.6 GHz like the MSI Wind U160). Use 2 GB DDR3 RAM also contribute their performance though not very significant. Deficiency appears on power consumption tend to be somewhat wasteful to use multimedia activities despite Lithium-Polymer battery 6000mAh capacity.
