Review Sony Vaio SA25GB

Sony presents a notebook not only powerful but with a great strong point is its battery extra, we’re talking Sony Vaio SA25GB model. Notebooks like this Sony Vaio model can not replace a desktop doubt gaining more space on our desk and in turn providing greater mobility both in our home and travel. The Sony Vaio is an average SA25GB perfect medium between productivity, performance, autonomy and also is light.

With LED display 13.3 “and a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels plus the Sony product is only 0.6 inches thick. With its second generation processor Core i5-2410M with 6 GB of RAM, a large 640 GB hard drive, dedicated graphics card Radeon HD 6630M 1 GB, battery with four hours and besides all this weighs just 1.7 kilograms. The only connector that was separate from the others is the P2 connector for headphones that was placed on the side where the DVD player.

In terms of design the all-aluminum body is gray, leaving the model with a great look, the screen has one positive and one negative, the positive is undoubtedly very thin, having a thickness that provides beauty and weight per the other hand this does not show the strength we expect. Image resolution is very good but the quality more than not bad is not perfect. The keyboard is very good with a great finish and an optimal spacing between the keys which provides a comfortable typing.

The layout of all the connectors of one lateral side is undoubtedly very interesting and in spite that if we use several at once can be tricky point is very interesting. The remaining connectors are mixed on the right side and there we have, an Ethernet network port, two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output, D-sub output and two slots for memory cards. As for entertainment video playback using the HDMI output is undoubtedly very interesting to play games for example.

Performance-wise the same with the Core i5 combining 6 GB of RAM and dedicated graphics card 1 GB Radeon 6630M is truly an “airplane” to the extent that this can be compared to any notebook with Core i7. The 1.3-megapixel webcam in High Definition with Exmor technology and microphone capture offer a very good picture and sound the same in low lighting. Performance when the work is very good sailing, multi task, access to heavier applications such as Photoshop, Corel and editing videos.

The battery life is a special case of this model Sony Vaio, besides the original battery that comes which provides a range of four hours the user can purchase an accessory called the “battery of sheet” which is attached to the notebook allowing the same with 14 hours of autonomy. With the battery on the Sony Vaio SA25GB weight back up to 2.7 kilograms.

In conclusion we have great advantages as termination kit Vaio software, shortcuts for greater performance and no doubt the extra battery. On the negative side we have a screen a little fragile, non-removable battery and weight which could be lighter.

Sony’s Bravia LED Crystal Review

Sony unveils prototype monitors its Bravia line with Crystal LED, when the manufacturer announced it was abandoning the production of consumer OLED displays were generally much a little surprised by the measure due to the fact that the company gave no further explanation of why This curious determination. So all was cleared during the CES 2012 when the manufacturer presented a prototype monitor with a new technology that the Japanese automaker is developing, called Crystal LED.

Sony is focusing its efforts on a new display technology, the bet is that the Crystal LED may be an option in the market for monitors and televisions. Besides this, the Japanese automaker says Crystal LED screens offer superior viewing angles compared to current LCD screens. Sony held a demonstration at the CES 2012 and presented a 55-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 pixels.

It has tiny, ultra-fine pixels mounted on each RGB color sequence of the screen so that they are lit independently. According to Sony with this type of manufacturing the prototype is able to obtain a contrast 3.5 times greater than some TVs. The color range is 1.4 times higher and a response time up to ten times faster.

In spite of his efforts to invest in a new display technology, Sony makes it clear that completely abandons its OLED screen. The Japanese automaker said in a press release to all the journalists present at the CES 2012 that continues and continues to work on developing other products with OLED screens while focusing on product development Crystal LED with full force. In the video you can see the great technology that Sony now placed in the windows.

For their part as well during the CES 2012 was presented a television with Ubuntu in a product from Samsung. The South Korean manufacturer uses the launch to present a prototype of Ubuntu TV, which for now is just a concept has already been commented by many users for the nice interface. The TV Ubuntu just run through a computer connected to the device’s screen and was controlled by a remote box Boxee but the company already betting that its platform will be available for other manufacturers installed without any problems.

The project is still new but the version of Unity has proven to be an excellent candidate in the race for the market for Smart TVs. Load technology the possibility of lower costs for implementation and that Ubuntu is a Linux distribution. As much as society is a prototype can open doors for Ubuntu TV is part of the future of the television industry.

Presentation And Review Zenbook UX31 — Masthead Ultrabuk ASUS

In general, the development of new products first of all need to think about why they needed him and how he will use them. And in the thoughts of the user should first take into account its “user eksperiens.” But the main thing that is in the computer – this is hardware and software technologies that work together to allow us to make this the best Yue.

After this presentation turned on laptops. The users, according to Intel, has the following suggestions to what should be the laptop. ntel is a list of priorities when building a mobile platform. On this slide you can roughly estimate how the user is guided to the company. So, Zenbook – a harmony of performance and long battery life. The use of aluminum allows to achieve two things: high-strength body and beautiful appearance. Compact and lightweight form the basis for the design.

Since Zenbook belongs to the category ultrabukov in the model are implemented technologies Intel, in particular, InstantOn. The meaning of this technology – to improve the user experience. Neither Intel, nor ASUS does not hide the fact that the “fundamental to vdohnovaniya” served as the ARM-plates. The bottom line is that this tablet wake quickly, ie, He can be started immediately after pressing the buttons on the body.

On the other hand, if you leave the tablet “sleep mode”, it is very slow discharge: a week is still ready to go. For ultrabukov put the same problem. Their doubts about its usefulness, I have already expressed. ASUS in the line Zenbook launches two models: UX21 UX31 and 11, and 13-inch screens, respectively. Moreover, in both models should be CPU Core i7 ULV, ie, the most productive in the lineup. However, according to official specifications, available options will be different with all three bars.

In Zenbook implemented a number of interesting and proprietary technologies ASUS. In particular, this technology USB Charger. Thanks to the notebook from the port can charge phones and other portable devices. Even in situations where the notebook is off, even when it is disconnected from the network. USB ports in Zenbook two, one standard 2.0, the second – much faster 3.0. Finally, in Zenbook UX31 two video outputs: a mini-HDMI and mini-VGA. For both ports need an adapter.

However, to all the necessary adapters Zenbook are included, and even delivered a touching little cheholchike. According to a presentation, display and UX21 UX31 has a very high brightness of up to 450 units. The screen has a resolution of Zenbook UX31 1600 × 900. So, modern, beautiful, stylish, but durable and practical notebook. By the way, the desire to use the metal in the construction was so great that even the keys in the keyboard made of aluminum.

For me personally, after demonstrating such impressive performance has serious concerns that the price will be impressing them to match.

Film interfaces: a terrifying experience?

Have you ever noticed in the order they appear in the movies ? Programs are almost never real, but large messages, useless graphics and things that flash incessantly. Not at all like normal PC.

This is because the GUI is the face of computers , and a great message not only is more dramatic than a window of Windows, but allows players to enter the outlet. In the film, it makes sense.

But there’s a catch: most of spectators and has used a real computer and knows what to expect. In the best case, the view of one of these interfaces generate false sympathy, at worst, embarrassing. See ten examples .

1. The Matrix (1999)

Yes, let’s see … I think from there to the right is the folder I want.

In the not too distant future, machines will dominate the world and shall not by ones and zeros, but changing patterns that cascade , like a green phosphor screens of the 80′s. And by the way, USB connection, not to mention: the plug is in the neck.

The best part? Someone to be able to "use" this interface to find cabins or lead someone to escape an enemy. Not an easy read that information from letters that fall into the void. Would not it be easier to use Google Earth?

2. Jurassic Park (1993)

Does using ls to view directories? Why? Best browse in 3D.

" This is UNIX, I know , "cries the young female as it moves through a three-dimensional environment to browse directories. And in part it does not lie, because it is a real UNIX program called FSN .

Why use this ponderous system instead of the console? It does not seem very smart, especially if there is a velociraptor on your tail that also have learned how to open doors (and may soon know to close windows and defragment the hard drive).

3. Independence Day (1996)

independence day

Well, it seems that the aliens are McAfee’s license expired.

An alien civilization visiting earth, but not for sightseeing and sunbathing on the beach, but to launch his death ray against the major tourist spots on the planet. However, in the rush of challenging the structure of space-time and build a hyper-fleet, they forgot to install a firewall and antivirus .

We do not know what is more ridiculous, if the possibility that a PC can connect to a remote spacecraft (would they have WiFi?), Anyone can program a virus for an unknown system or to send a virus is as easy as watching a bar progress.

4. Strange but untrue (2009)

Windows Millennium ugliest after erasing a dozen DLL.

Start menu, windows, blue background … seems Windows Trash, of course, but is it really? Yes and no: it is rather a prop Windows , sufficiently modified so as not to infringe any copyright, as it is recognizable to viewers.

Worthy of mention is the Start Menu, ugly as few, as well as changed icons of folders, My Computer and Recycle Bin. And as in many movies, fonts are so absurdly huge e lack of privacy.

5. The Red (1995)

The. WRLD, one of the great contributions of The Network

Of all the images we could find in the movie The Net, we have chosen this. Not for the wallpaper color or style of old-fashioned windows, but the bugs it found.

First, an IP address impossible , for the third group of numbers is greater than 255. In addition, the email does not seem to make much sense either (JG@gms.wrld), since there are no domains. WRLD.

6. Watchmen (2009)

Watchmen

Files in low-density floppy disk unencrypted. Typical error of the wicked.

Okay, the movie takes place in an alternate 1986, but we expected that the evil billionaire from the film would use a much more modern than this kind of AmigaOS monochrome screen .

We are struck by the ingenuity of the names of the folders, which seem to compose a sentence . Even in the comics, fun way of computer security is ridiculous (the password is a word easily traceable to the protagonist). A computer unworthy of Adrian Veidt.

7. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Okay, what screen should I look? Or do I get to polish that nice red eye?

The main element of fantasy in the great Kubrick film is the computer, HAL 9000 accepts voice commands and speaks with a calm voice that irritates . On their screens, plus graphs showing for a handful of seconds, are mysterious three-letter messages .

If it were a normal computer to open a folder should be invited to a coffee. And to turn it off? You have to enter a sealed room and removing memory modules one by one. But of course, have had a Control + Alt + Del, the movie had ended abruptly.

8. Syriana (2005)

Syriana

Important: The window does not have a close button. Have to listen the message.

In the George Clooney film we see a classic example of dramatic message : info box shows a huge message that even viewers in the last row can see it.

What does it say? Well, the computer is being analyzed remotely. Does it make sense to tell the user control that, in theory, should happen silently, without knowing it! Only in the movies.

9. Terminator 2 (1991)

Vision de Terminator

It is reassuring to know that Terminator can read your own thoughts.

In Terminator we are dealing with human-computer interface, but with an example of robotic vision . There is no perception of color (a serious failure for a robot that must infiltrate human) and a series of messages appear everywhere to the delight of the audience.

But the robot does not serve: he knows what he is doing without having to read himself . It is a common fault of this and other embedded interfaces (eg, computers in the retina). Another point to consider is the low quality of the image, it seems incredible that such a sophisticated machine takes a picture so grainy.

10. Minority Report (2002)

Minority Report

To play like Minesweeper must go to the gym every day.

At first, that files and folders that could move with a gesture left us speechless. However, it does not take a lights to realize that an interface is imprecise, slow and, above all, tired arms.

The three-dimensional and tactile interfaces have no place in an environment that requires precision and speed. As Jakob Nielsen says , the great expert on usability, " 3D is for demos, the 2D is for work . "

What we see in the computers in the movies?

In the film , the pace is often hectic, and time is money. Therefore, you’ll never see how the protagonist waits until Windows starts: turn on the screen and you’re done. In the movies, usability is not an issue.

To summarize, the main characteristics of the computers of the films are:

* Hypervelocity: Start and Instant Off (not that they had SSD)

* Incessant beep: Each time the computer screen shows something, you hear a beep;

* Voice recognition: Fairly common that the computer obeys your commands in a loud voice;

* Speech synthesizer: Sometimes not enough to listen, you also answer (and genius);

* Mind reading: Always open the program or website that the character needs. "Gift?;

* Too complex: In general, the interface is decorated with graphics, moving parts, lights and text without meaning to it all seem more "technological"

* Large text: To be able to read from afar, of course;

* Self-destruct system: What would a computer without a self-destruct system, warning over loudspeakers in a nearly human voice without emotion?

* Connection to all computers in the world: If you have a computer, you all. That is the law in the movies where you can access from one computer to another, regardless of whether they are connected or how. Maximum interoperability.

* System is not clearly recognizable: We tend to show window contents in a partial and ambiguous, without clearly distinguishing which system is.

* Multifunction keyboard: "mouse? Why? In the movies everything is done pounding the keyboard, but always the same two key pressures. None of using any other peripherals such as mice.

What interface has impacted you most in a movie? What I found most curious or foolish?

The battery included is 6 cells, with a theoretical period between 4 and 5 hours. Finally, we met with a very remarkable in terms of weight and size. There are no clear data on the final configuration in terms of components or the Dell Inspiron 1764 battery that will take. Neither knows the price or exact release date but is expected to be the end of May 2011. The buttons are rubber and are separated, getting it very comfortable to write.

Dell Inspiron Duo Laptop Review

Dell can not deny a certain confidence in sweat with the sensational new Inspiron Duo.

In the world of portable products, it is just a product. But in the world for yourself, it is not only a product. For it is a high-end product with the fashionable design and Dell vostro 1700 battery. Show it to your friends, but it looks like a laptop, and it will open the shell of the laptop and wait for the kind words that seem dull. Then comes the stroke of the pump: turn the screen horizontally under it, and reconnect the laptop is closed. Yes, yes, compresses the last dog! “People are duly impressed. It’s a trick, and at least a clever feat of engineering.

But this Dell Inspiron Duo? Cut the mystery and find – sorry to burst your bubble – netbook with a rotating touch screen Windows. And the question arises, what is good for. Well, we’re still working on Dell vostro 1710 battery. This is a problem with a dual function device, in general, are rarely things that are designed to be very good. As a netbook, the duo, at least acceptable. Although heavier than other netbooks from 10 inches to a kilo, well designed and beautiful, and the screen brightness of 1366 x 768 is the average of its category.

But the performance, unfortunately, all the poor (1.5 GHz Atom is not very far) and two USB ports can handle the update unhappy. In the bar, rates Duo of the Dell xps m1210 battery is much worse. Here, three books a bit “too much for extended use, and cover design adds a layer does not know the device, making it difficult to manage. The display suffers from the same problems of poor wide-angle view that the contract sank 7. If you’re not dead, IT Holding, the screen practically unreadable.

Naturally, the biggest problem here is not really the fault of Dell. It is that Windows does not work very well for touchscreen devices, and especially not on a small scale like Apple a1079. Duo use in tablet mode for more than three minutes, the skin starts to crawl. You want to do something quickly. Try pressing Control-C. You’ll soon realize that you are more for a keyboard that does not exist. Unless of course it is. I thank God for that.

The Specifications Are Listed Below:
Processors: Intel AtomTM, N550 (Dual Core,1.5GHz, 2x512K L2)
OS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium32-Bit
Battery: Dell GD761
Memory: 2GB RAM DIMM DDR3 800MHz
Graphics: Broadcom Crystal HD MediaAccelerator
LCD Display: 10.1″ 1366 x 768 HD

It is really worth buying.
