Although relatively inexpensive, Soulmate M4 are sold at a price of Rp 3 million is proved to have decent features and abilities for entry-level class.

Actually AMD Fusion also has an impressive array of products (APU - read InfoKomputer March 2011 edition). This product was successfully hit the Atom in a landslide, at the entry level segment at an economical price. However, further highlight the APU-based notebook graphics capabilities Radeon HD6000 series, while the performance of the processor itself is not very fast. Therefore, AMD raises Athlon II N330 CPU that is faster than the ranks of the early model APU (E-350). N330 processor is embedded on notebook Soulmate M4.

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).

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.

Advan GT-66NS

To enrich the portfolio of notebooks, Advan presenting the latest G-series called the GT-66NS. This product is actually more of an upgrade component of the GT-65 series earlier. The difference lies in the use of Nvidia graphics chips for notebook graphics performance, after previously only use the graphics chip from Intel or SiS.

Apart from the increase in the graphics side, the GT-65 series, also increased the specifications shown here and there. Current processors that use Intel Core 2 Duo T6600, and zoomed up to 4GB of memory. Improvement also occurred on the hard drive capacity; from the previous 250GB into a 320GB. Memory and larger hard drive capacity obviously be ideal to improve performance as well as expand the data space.

In physical terms, the GT-66NS appear more attractive thanks to the use of materials patterned glossy wider than the previous series. Weight 14.1 notebook sailing "is a bit more lightweight (2.3 kg) in its class. But on the side of the facility, the GT-66NS countless casual. Bluetooth is still optional, limited to the USB port, and the absence of FireWire ports slightly reduce the charm of this notebook. But at a price no more than USD 5.5 million, this notebook would have a special attraction.

Although known as a local product, but Advan penetration has increased fairly good, especially since the assembly of notebooks they've done in the city of Semarang (previously done in Taiwan). Cooperation with the school or the telecommunications operators are also often done so that the product is absorbed quickly Advan current market is more controlled foreign brands.
