Dell Vostro 1464

Welcoming the presence Arrandale generation Intel processors (Core i3/i5/i7), Dell also released a series of new notebooks. One is the Inspiron 1464, the 14-inch notebooks that target the home segment and priced at a relatively affordable.

Aware that the appearance is now a major concern, Dell Inspiron 1464 design with a cool design. The unit we received was indeed the conventional black, but Dell also offers other variations with color "slang" such as blue, red, and pink. The material uses a luxurious glossy plastic material, but not easily contaminated fingerprints like other notebooks.

Keyboard his own unique because it has a smaller area on the upper side. When we try, the design makes each key feels to have a wide spacing to minimize one push. As a result, we were able to familiarize themselves with the keyboard in no time.

The speaker itself is very loud. Enough with the 25% of normal strength, his voice has met Rungan our office. The advantage is apparently the fruit of SRS Premium Sound standards support in this notebook. This was also reflected in the quality of her voice is heard clearly, make sound Paloma Faith hummed the song Romance Is Dead feel sharpness.

But the process of enjoying your favorite music or video has the potential to interfere with the cooling system of this notebook. The reason is, when we give this notebook full load, within the range of two minutes the fan directly to work with full rotation whose voice sounded clear. Any fan of hard work are still not able to remove heat perfectly. Within about 30 minutes, heat in the palm rest area to reach 36oC, which means feel quite oppressive.

Dell Inspiron 1464 itself has several variations. Unit we try to use the Core i5 M540 (2.53 GHz) combined with 3GB memory and onboard Intel graphics card HD. With that combination, this notebook can be relied upon for applications that rely on the processor, but do not look special for gaming (see table). But if you want you can get a version of the Inspiron 1464 which uses the ATI Radeon HD4330 graphics card.

From the facility, this notebook appears standard. For cable connection, you can use HDMI, Ethernet, and USB. As for wireless connection, WiFi is only available without the Bluetooth feature. Beyond that, the available DVD writers, memory slot for 5 types of cards, and webcam.

Interestingly, Dell use a webcam as a login or entry facilities of Windows 7. Named Fast Access, this feature will automatically detect your face when you first login. The data is then your face will be saved and used as reference material login process further. So when tomorrow login again, you just need the login process take place automatically without you having to bother to enter a password again.

Mainstay gamer

In terms of appearance, tongkrongan this notebook is compatible with its designation as a notebook gamers. Metallic black color decorated with red tinge on the underside of the notebook gives the impression of stout and hanging out. The impression is ideally combined with a casing that uses aluminum material with a texture of brushed metal. The use of such material is indeed a bit heavy GX640 weight (3kg), but on the other hand gives a soothing protection.

But as a gaming notebook, the MSI GX640 course should provide excellent performance. To achieve this, the MSI using a combination of topnotch. On the processor, this notebook uses I5 M540 (two core, 2.53 GHz) which is the fastest processor in the classroom I5. Even in the ranks of two-core notebook processor, the processor is only less than Core i7-620M (2.66 GHz).

While in terms of graphics, MSI VGA ATI Radeon HD5850 rely (1GB) which is the latest generation graphics card that ATI has been supporting DirectX 11. Plus 4GB DDR3 memory, the combination produces a good performance. 3DMark Vantage score was reached 5359; one class with G60J Asus and Dell Alienware M15x.

Facilities provided this notebook is not half-hearted. Modern connectors and standard here, ranging from Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, Express Card, HDMI, until eSATA. Even the optical drive, MSI includes a BluRay Writer. Even if there are less it is still the type of USB 2.0 and not 3.0, but it is understandable considering the USB 3.0 is still relatively new.

A little disappointment we also meet on the screen that has a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels. This resolution is above standard, but for notebooks as good as this, we expect the resolution could reach the full-HD (1920x1080 pixels), such as Alienware M15x. But the disappointment was immediately paid off thanks to the quality of the screen that looks bright and sharp.

We also liked the touch panel located above the keyboard. On the panel there are buttons to activate a variety of facilities of this notebook, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and camera. On the panel there is also a menu which is the ECO Engine power management system typical MSI. This panel is so responsive because it has a light touch will activate these menus.
