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

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.

HP 2133 Mini-Note PC and VIA C7-M

Viliyana Filipova — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:21:34 +0000

Our test laboratory is visiting a small jewel of Hewlett-Packard, Netbook HP Mini-Note PC. The first thing that grabs our attention is the incredible design – a style and beauty, so absent of netbooks for Asus, Acer, MSI and others known and unknown Asian manufacturers. Not that HP 2133 is manufactured in Asian factories, but were obviously put a lot of money for design and construction, as could only afford a company like HP. The hull is aluminum and it is not a thin plastic coating on – particularly on the basis of the HP 2133 was used rather aluminum material in contact creates the impression of solidity and a pleasant hladnina rugged metal housing. Upper surface of the netbook is also coated with aluminum as the metal is polished to a shine, but has the characteristic bands of raw material. Very stylish looks cut in the metal of the HP logo on the upper hull. The color of the HP 2133 is not trivial silver-gray, but with warmer hues. Opening the laptop, our attention was immediately drawn to the keyboard with large buttons, to bring all functional buttons. Working with the keyboard even more comfortable to work with complete laptop – so interesting how a small area is set so comfortable keyboard. The secret of the big keyboard is touch-fall, which is very elongated, but no buttons located underneath a classic, and from countries, which released a lot of space for your keyboard.
Screen is “glossy” (typical of image-making model) and reflects the comfortable environment. But starting netbook opens before us a picture of neveroatna rekornata resolution – 1280 * 768 resolution which is almost a 14-inch widescreen laptop, the latest generation! Around the screen are nice bars on a stereo-columns, which provide fairly decent sound. HP, in contrast to DELL and Toshiba, have always approached special attention to the sound system did not expose this time.

IBM Thinkpad X41 Tablet

Viliyana Filipova — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:16:36 +0000

This is IBM Thinkpad X41 tablet with incredible AFFS matrix which has become a matter for review of Fujitsu T4020D. Design of the X41 Tablet is traditional for IBM, as many points and very light thin Thinkpad X40. The platform is relatively recent and now Intel Alviso i915GM graphic solution Intel GMA900. The processor is a low-frequency Pentium M LV 758 with working frequency of 1.5GHz. Despite the relatively low frequency, it is true Dothan processor with 2MB cache and 533Mhz bus. Available memory is DDR2, laptop works in dual channel mode, which allows the graphics core built to show relatively good performance. Let us recall that the GMA900 has hardware acceleration for HDTV. Unlike some of the latest IBM Thinkpad T43, cooling is a Thinkpad X41 tablet and keep silent in normal temperature ranges.
Keyboard and other control elements are typical for IBM – the most convenient and high. However, with personal impressions of the tablet keyboard is firmer than most models of the T-series.
Deserves special commendation joints crapped rolling screen – no slack and the impression of reliability, something that is missing of tablets as the Toshiba. Most attention in this deserves the perfect tablet IPS (AFFS) matrix. Fantastic color, contrast and viewing angles, and unmatched performance for the best TN + Film displays. The resolution is “banal” 1024 * 768, which however is sufficient for 12-inch laptop. ArtRage painting program on this laptop is a real pleasure. The sensitivity of the magnetic matrix and the powerful hardware without problems to deal with all the tools for drawing, and even quick sketches are displayed instantly on screen. We must mention however that funtsii Tablet Windows XP Tablet Edition are weaker than those of Windows Vista and more than Windows 7. On equal terms as hardware and software applications, Windows XP Tablet Edition recognize text more slowly and with many more errors.
Tested by us Thinkpad X41 was equipped with enhanced battery, which, in combination with economically and with reduced voltage processor can earn around and over 4 hours of cordless use.
Model is available fingerprint scanner, which has an amazing ability to always recognize the correct entries and even fingerprint scanning speed is sufficient. IBM X41 Tablet leave the country only positive impressions – did not match any critical comments from the functionality, design and reliability. Once again we were amazed by the fantastic picture of AFFS display. IBM Thinkpad X41 Tablet has an excellent working APS – Active Protection System (sensor for acceleration and motion) parked on the hard disk reading chapters in extraordinary acceleration (eg drop the laptop).

HP nw8240

Viliyana Filipova — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:20:52 +0000

After review of IBM ThinkPad R50p, again I give the event a workstation to test high grade. So far I had not met most of the powerful Intel Centrino 2.13GHz – the feeling of power is amazing, this is perhaps the most productive single-core processor in many applications lags far behind its dual-core processors and even lower middle class. Memory is DDR2, Hard disk – SATA, which offers opportunities for serious and very economical upgrades. The laptop is available with all modern functions – DVD-RW, BlueTooth, CardReader, 54Mbit Wi-Fi (Intel 2200BG). Extremely powerful stereo speakers with crystal clear, knows why put in a graphic station. Display with incredible resolution and wide format – 1920h1200! However, unlike IBM ThinkPad matrix is TN, viewing angles are among the best of this kind. The unique feature of the laptop is PCI-E video card which is working ATI FireGL V5000. Despite its focus on 3D, CAD / CAM design, the laptop is suitable for almost any modern game. Conclusion – an excellent machine for professional designers, mechanical engineers, architects, photographers … and gamers. The machine arrived with me in perfect form (as new) with new battery (approximately 3 hours). Imports are from Germany with German instructions on the keyboard. The price at which it is proposed is outside any competition with similar new graphics station.
