Transparent Laptop from Samsung

On exhibition for Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (CES, Consumer Electronics Show) “Samsung showed a new” concept “laptop whose screen is translucent. The machine has a 14-inch OLED display, in which it can be seen even when the computer is turned on. The innovation seems cosmic and industry representatives believe that the technology opens the door to a new era. However, no shortage of doubts about the merits of the new product, such as what will actually usefulness of this screen and if he can work with it in bright sun. One of the main highlights of the exhibition in Las Vegas this year has made serious 3D Television – develop screens and disks with 3D movies and 3D cable channels. Most large companies have started producing televisions to submit 3D models even before the official opening of the fair. Nearly 10 to 14% of the total 35 million TV sets that Samsung plans to sell in the U.S. in 2010 will have a 3D option, said company president Tim Baxter. “Panasonic will present its version in the spring,” Sonny “- in the summer,” LG Electronics “- in May. “Toshiba uses CES, to announce a flat screen television, able to convert any digital video into the 3D experience.
Cell TV model relies on a microprocessor, which is usually used in high-class computers, and game consoles.

HP Probook 4510

The laptops gradually cease to be a luxury product, unattainable for most households. This contributes to better market segmentation, and inexpensive mass production of Chinese factories, switching to more economical processes. Certainly decreased significantly and the quality of the hull, keyboard, cooling system, etc. Ever had a laptop mainly for corporate clients and series Thinkpad, Latitude, Tecra, LifeBook were uncompromising quality. This article will not discuss in detail the low grade laptops, and problems associated with their operation. There is enough material on the Internet forums about the problems of low-cost Satellite, Inspiron, Pavilion (AMD-series), Amilo and others. authorizing a series of major manufacturers. HP is among the largest and most reputable manufacturers of laptops – Laptops series of the American company can claim to best in class. For example HP Compaq series for the corporate market there is competition from last successful IBM Thinkpad T60 and less adequate for Lenovo Thinkpad T61, since 2006 no real konkuerntsiya the corporate market. HP Compaq Mobile Workstation no competition among graphic laptops, with the exception of certain models of DELL and Lenovo. HP’s achievements in the class of gamers laptops are definitely proven after the emergence of 20-inch HDX9000-series (Dragon). HP’s obviously lacking a clear-cut middle-class consumer laptops, which is similar to a successful series of Vostro DELL. Need for the emergence of new series of laptops from HP was imposed after compromising consumer Pavilion series of mass defective chip-sets AMD-modifications, and the marriage of video nuclei of NVidia (mainly 8th-Series). Disputed Pavilion series, however survived, except for much criticism for some of the products have an inheritance and very positive feedback. Change the look of HP’s consumer class began with the emergence of a new elite class HP Elitebook – really great laptops, combines the best of HP Compaq and HP Pavilion.
When the gradual fading of the negative reviews for HP Pavilion, it was logical to appear and to lower middle class who can not bear the heavy burden of thousands of negative feedback.
This test will look at two laptop HP’s new budget consumer range Probook, 4510s and 4510 models. Probook until 4510 could be attributable to the lower class, because Core Duo processor and integrated graphics card on Intel (4500M), it has Probook 4510s with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a new graphics card from ATI (HD4330). Company to test the new representatives of the middle class will make older, but considerably more expensive business series – IBM Thinkpad T60 and DELL Latitude D620. I would like to compare the new consumer notebook and laptop second hand from an earlier generation that equates current market value. Is the T60 and D620 are from a previous generation is debatable assertion, given the lack of significant changes in technology. Previous generation laptops are rather Pentium M-based machines.

IBM Thinkpad R50

Viliyana Filipova — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:50:44 +0000

The laptops with S-IPS matrix are extremely rare and deserve detailed review. The review of IBM Thinkpad R50 will consist of two parts (two separate articles). In this first part will mainly explore the theme of the display of the IBM Thinkpad R50, compared with a standard TN + Film displays and TN LCD screens of modern high-end laptops, including wide, opaque, and modern “glossy panel. Mediocrity has captured the world markets for consumer laptops, and similar trends are observed even in the corporate markets. Hardware parameters such as processor and graphics card, of course, each year becoming better, although the Conroe architecture is based on over 80% of the Pentium III technology adopted by Tualatin and much less costly to manufacture as compared to expensive NetBurst. TN + Film matrix LCD displays is the subject of much misinformation about marketing techniques, and thus mislead the consumer. This cheap and terrible features real matrices 2-3 years ago were used almost 99% of laptops, but these days in 100% of mobile computing, while remaining true colors, correct color reproduction, good viewing angles only for the desktop S -IPS and * VA monitors. Exceptions are only some of the HP Compaq tablet PCs with AFFS display. While there was a production unit of IBM laptops, the American giant boldly introducing laptops in their matrices, other than standard. IBM laptop usually means that have S-IPS matrix with “p” after the number of the standard model, for example Thinkpad T40p, T41p, T42p, T43p, R50p. Like most “p”-th in the electronic equipment and that means Professional, and unlike other companies, making it a pseudo-professional performances, IBM has made professional machine with resolution 1600 * 1200, professional S-IPS matrix video card for 3D and CAD (ATI FireGL). IBM produces and workstations with 1400 x 1050 S-IPS matrix, and good video card ATI Radeon no great claims for 3D design, which is also the protagonist in this review. Actually there is much information on the Internet for modification of the drivers of the mobile in a mobile Radeon FireGL.
Today’s laptop has just been tested by real time IBM and is equipped with the best quality of LCD technology – S-IPS. Let us recall that our site has an overview of IBM Thinkpad R50p, which has the same body, and the only awards of R50 described in this article are better video card (FireGL T2), and higher resolution S-IPS display (1600 x 1200). Let us recall that IBM Thinkpad R50 is a cheap and modification of TN + Film matrix, resolution 1027 x 768 only and video with pathetic parameters – integrated Intel 855G. Today’s laptop has just been tested by real time IBM and is equipped with the best quality of LCD technology – S-IPS.

IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T60

Viliyana Filipova — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:47:41 +0000

After the failure of some modifications of the Thinkpad T43 and not very strong impression on Thinkpad Z60t, we were almost sure that the last real quality and maximum balanced model is Thinkpad T42. This impression is further reinforced by the weak receiver models of IBM, the Chinese company Lenovo. There are many consumers who know that the Lenovo factory actually produced the best models of IBM (Thinkpad T40/40p, T41/41p, T42/42p, X31/32/40). Accumulation of the image maker of the best mobile computing, IBM was a monopolist in corporate markets and is becoming a dream acquisition, for each customer. Everything in the series Thinkpad is Refined to perfection – tough, expensive materials – copper, titanium, composites, perfect keyboard, joystick and touch-pod. IBM is a generator of new technologies in notebook PCs by selling its innovative solutions Toshiba, DELL, HP and others. No coincidence of all NASA space missions are equipped with technology from IBM (Thinkpad-series). INTEL and Microsoft also trust corporation as a Thinkpad laptop, and with them, and many IT-companies, banks, universities, public administrations and others. Surprisingly, users (corporate and end) in 2005 IBM sold its production facilities to the Chinese Lenovo. Is sold and the legendary brand – THINKPAD. Economic and financial experts of IBM apparently felt that the hardware is not as profitable as the sale of technology, innovation, software solutions. Selling trade name “Thinkpad”, IBM commitment for 5 years to maintain a technology (design, monitoring, maintenance, marketing) its probably the most famous brand “Thinkpad”.
First Lenovo Thinkpad, still carry the spirit of IBM – quality materials and innovation without precedent competitors. IBM’s corporate customers may have reservations about the Lenovo, but the quality of the “new” Thinkpad are still above those offered by corporate series of HP, DELL, Toshiba. Now we are in 2009, the last year in the life of the legendary Thinkpad series. This is the year of senseless exploitation of a unique trade name. Lenovo last offer models bearing the logo “Thinkpad”. Inertia consumers buy incredibly low prices on equipment, which has nothing to do with the qualities of a true IBM Thinkpad. Sleek and cheap materials, low chassis, mediocre hardware and medium-sized opportunities – this is a feature of recent Thinkpad. An example of this pseudo-”Thinkpad” is the cheapest new model Thinkpad SL500, which has no trace of expensive materials, solid chassis and most powerful to date of exit hardware and new technologies. Sorry end to a great series …
But let’s get back in the early years of Lenovo Thinkpad, when ambitious Chinese company has been firmly decided to show the world that truly Thinkpad can be done entirely by Chinese companies, albeit with the aid of power engineering giant IBM. We have available Thinkpad T60, which still remains the name “IBM – Registered Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation, Used Under Licence”. In the interest of truth we must mention that we had available and Thinkpad T60 with the logo of Lenovo and no mention of IBM.
At first glance Thinkpad T60 has the same proportions and weight as Thinkpad T42. Perceptions of housing, keyboard, screen is very similar to IBM Thinkpad. But let’s systematize descriptions of various elements of the Thinkpad T60. And to be more interesting description, will allow to compare T60 with perhaps the strongest opponent – a business model DELL Latitude D620. Short can describe Latitude D620 as the most successful model of DELL – beautiful and stylish design, extremely tough casing and magnesium frame, quiet and stable operation, bright widescreen display. D620 is a real phenomenon for its time, surprisingly strong producer of model less expensive laptops. The design of the D620 goes back to the 12-inch D410 and successfully used today by corporate laptops and expensive graphics stations DELL. Latitude D620 has numerous modifications, including military laptops with reinforced shock-and water-resistant housing. There is no strong competitor for the T60 from D620, a review today can be described as “space” Thinkpad against the “military” Latitude.
