Learning from our mistakes? Although the last XPS 15 and so was in many ways cooler most laptops (screen and speakers – a miracle), Dell does not give up on the further development of the model. In this test – an advanced XPS 15, the latest processor Core i5 2410M video card and GeForce 540M. We compare the beginner to the old model and check whether the laptop of their money.

XPS 15 is clearly not going to stop development. Dell is not enough high-quality materials, excellent acoustics and a perfect display – it is also regularly updates the iron stuffing their pets. At present the most relevant are the processors Intel Sandy Bridge – and they legally have a place in the XPS 15, and a powerful GeForce GT 540M from Nvidia. If you prefer, you can choose the processor from Core i3 to Core i7, and GT540M replaced by a more affordable GeForce GT 525M.

Huge selection of offers in terms of HDD capacity and RAM – you can find anything your heart desires, even 8 GB of RAM and hard drive to 750 GB. Well, or you can use the configurator on the Dell website and find everything personally – though there is a suspicion that Russia configurator is not available, only for the United States and Europe.
There is also the possibility of replacing the standard HD Ready display (1366×768) model in FullHD (1920×1080). It certainly will take advantage of many. In general, everything is done for the convenience of the buyer.

Our distinctive XPS 15 is equipped with L502X Core i5-2410M, GeForce GT 540M, 4GB of RAM, a 500-gigabyte HDD, the drive BluRay, TV module, Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), FullHD-display, illuminated keypad and a 9-cell battery .

Review Dell XPS L502X

Dell can not simply transformed the inner content of the laptop, but has developed a new design and packaging for the laptop. Unpacking the laptop itself is a pleasure. Slowly, step by step, you discover more and more of the laptop until you get to his heart …

Housing

One of the most significant shortcomings of existing models is their Alien body. Of course, the company has always cared about the appearance, but not about the quality of performance and materials. Dell is initially announced its intention to work on these flaws.

The company has fulfilled its promise, even after a few seconds to communicate with the laptop it becomes noticeable. The laptop now has a solid case of 2-3 mm. aluminum sheet and securely attached and the display. The laptop does not give the deformations, pressure and bending. The build quality housing Alienware models now match the quality of business notebooks Dell Precision.
Interfaces

Dell uses and the left and right side of the notebook to accommodate interfaces. The front panel is too important in terms of design, so that it be placed on individual ports are not. And on the back of the food placed noutubka and fan.

On the left side of the laptop ports are shifted more to the front, so that left-handers may deliver certain inconveniences, here you’ll find VGA, HDMI, Display Port, LAN, 2x USB, eSATA and firewire. On the right side there is an optical drive, ExpressCard slot and card reader. Also located on the right USB ports and audio jacks.

Input Devices

The keyboard remains the same as that of the older models Alienware. Do not change any design or layout. The keyboard backlight and touch pad have remained unchanged. With the tool Alien-FX you can customize the color of LED backlighting as you want.

In view of the type feeling, the keyboard can be described as being soft with a somewhat indistinct pressure point. The keyboard bends to a part, which leads to a recoiling of the keys. The layout can be noted as generous and therefore gaming suitable in any case. This applies to the standard keys as well as the slightly offset arrow keys and to the additionally offered numerical block.

Thanks to the chamfered front edge of the laptop with the keyboard handy, despite the fact that body height is 40 millimeters.

A touchpad is not as convenient. The touchpad surface has good sliding properties, but the reaction to the touch pad will poprivykat. Tight touchpad buttons also do not have to use it constantly. It is good that the touchpad is deactivated automatically when you connect the mouse.
Display

The model uses 17-inch WUXGA screen format with a maximum resolution of 1920×1200 pixels. Only displays with glossy included in delivery. Designed from edge to edge (“edge-to-edge”) is also consistent with the general trend of multimedia notebooks. Unfortunately, now you can not buy a model with a matte display, Alienware, as it was before.

WXGA + display with lower resolution of 1440×900 pixels, you can also choose a less expensive configuration.

You can buy a Dell XPS 15z in Moscow, St. Petersburg (St. Peterbuge), as well as delivery throughout Russia. Are you interested in price Dell XPS 15z? Price of the laptop Dell XPS 15z has not officially made ​​public.

So, we have three options in the updated models of Z-series. The difference between them is only in set: low-end model is equipped with storage capacity of 128GB (256GB instead of the older), the elder – CPU Intel Core i7 (i5 against the younger) and RAM 8 GB (vs. 4 GB). No other differences, so that we can confidently speak of three representatives update the line as one. However, in accordance with labeling changes price laptops: The minimum equipment cost Z21X9R about 65 thousand, the maximum Z21Z9R – 112 000.

Sony Vaio Z21X9R (Z21) Vaio Z-Series

Notebook Sony Z21 series can entertain and eyes, and ambitions, and feelings. Thinnest body of carbon fiber, weight for weight, current netbooks, the unique compact – all for a constant companion, a business person. Unlike the UMPC with an apple on top of a stump, there is no smooth lines and glamorous roundness: a clear, thin, faces maximally narrowed. Carbon body only slightly trimmed with aluminum – keyboard, as the load element, and the working area.

Design Notebook Sony Vaio Z21 completely subordinate dimensions. With almost surreal combination 210h16, 65h310 mm with the highest performance engineers had to save every detail. True, the cunning trick they all did the same, as will be discussed below. In the meantime – the ease and subtle solution to make you forget about the legs – their role will now act as the bottom end cap during the opening of 90 degrees. It is ergonomically designed and beneficial for cooling is facilitated by removal of hot air.

For the sake of slim donated creators and swing keys. To some this may seem inconvenient, but the minimum run quickly get used to it – Apple has proven it. The touchpad is made entirely innovative: grooved surface, two large clickable button. There’s also a fingerprint reader – without in any way. Optical drive disappeared – just no place for ultrathin surfaces. But the ports are spaced freely – this is an undoubted advantage. Left – the vents, D-Sub and Kensington Lock. Right – the standard mini-jack, HDMI, usb 2.0, usb 3.0 (light peak, almost like Mac’s). Here, the power connector. Two card reader brought to the front edge. There is a trick – right under the lid of the RJ-45.

High-resolution screen 1600 x 900 and 13.1-inch diagonal worthy of praise, but praise expected. Start talking about the viewing angles in the hi-end class of sounds mauvais ton.

Upon completion of the comprehensive sniffing devices may conclude that, yes, stylish, thin and easily. Image model is really, really high-class. But your experience of tar ladle still pours: slim, despite the strength and quality materials, assembled “in a hurry.” Pretty ridiculous price tag and looks like a combination of backlash cover occurring squeaky hinges, bending the keyboard panel. Budget option tolerate this, the business – ever. It seems that the defects will be corrected quickly, will be obvious when the projected sales volume.

What are we going to “look inside, where she analyzer and dumatel” – that is, specifications for Sony Vaio Z21X9R, Z21Z9R and Z21V9R? And inside is the highest performance that could only fit in so compact body. Processor Intel Core i5 or i7, clock frequency of 2.3 GHz, 4 to 8 GB of RAM, hard drive SSD, integrated video Intel HD Graphics 3000. Of course, all communication interfaces are on board – did not have to sacrifice anything. And here is the promised trick: to a laptop docking station is attached as an external optical drive increased size. But in a kind of a surprise – the powerful discrete graphics card Radeon HD 6650M with DDR3 memory with 1 GB.

Thus, in combination with a docking station, we have a complete high-performance computer, which opens wide possibilities for connecting peripheral devices (three monitors can be connected without adapters), having all the communication ports, to the same thin and light. We can say – the dream of businessman. But Russian officials still arrange a diversion: a docking station would cost our citizens in the 25 thousand rubles. So shameful that Sony itself an application for free doukomplektovyvaet any configuration of laptops in this series. The Japanese offer to pay only the blue-ray, if one is needed.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 notebook photo

The distinguishing feature Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 notebook has frameless screen, retaining their normal size and a standard 15.6-inch 1366 × 768.

The screen image is improving with the help of technology VibrantView, which, according to the owners of reviews Lenovo IdeaPad Y560, makes it possible to view high quality images in bright daylight. The graphics are based on the video card Mobility Radeon HD 5730, has 1 GB of dedicated memory for movies as full HD.

All the information in your notebook is protected by System Restore OneKey, which does not lose damaged by viruses or lost during the failure information as well as the system password VeriFace, only input resolution in recognition behalf of the owner.

To save energy consumption is used the power management program, which determines the desired mode of operation to increase the autonomous operating time.

Ease of operation is guaranteed by full-size keyboard and an additional hidden buttons to control the multimedia touch-sensitive controls.

The notebook IdeaPad Y Series pleases unusual texture, and pleasing to the touch and decorated in the style of the glamorous, shimmering through reflective elements. The black color further separated the bronze cover boundary. Matt made only the working area – the keyboard. Extravagance exterior design – this is one of the attractive features of this laptop.

Some risks exist in the raw technology. No guarantees that the cellular link will last. Owners also need to know if the carrier settings do not work automatically. The service will also be more expensive because it requires paid access, Verizon’s special deal for the CR-48 delivers 100 MB 3G each month and has reduced tariffs to raise the hood.

The update hints that Google may begin sending the CR-48 to other countries. The first deliveries to the media and other industry luminaries were limited to the U.S. as the 3G would not have worked at all in other countries. Google has only a limited batch and supply could be held in the country and supply requirements like on Toshiba Satellite T235D-S1345RD. Chrome OS notebooks for the general public are not due until mid 2011.

The Pavilion is a low-cost business notebook that does not compromise on features and build quality, and it delivers on these two fronts. Similar to the Compaq 6540b is a rugged design, which immediately stands out when starting to deal with the Compaq 6550b: it has metal hinges, the base feels solid when you pick it up either corner, the cover can take a fair bit of force before puddling appears on the screen and the keyboard has keys that crisp and perfect for long sessions of typing.

The keyboard includes a numeric keypad. Just above the keyboard is a row of touch-sensitive buttons that are used to manipulate the volume, start your e-mail and Web-browser applications, and disable Wi-Fi can. We are not a fan of these keys, they are not only too bright (the LEDs on most HP notebooks seem to be too strong), but they’re also a bit sluggish. Volume changes, in particular, take a few seconds before you can see the effect of an on-screen display. The response of the touch keys is also not reliable and sometimes you have a key more than once to push its function.

One wish we had this Compaq is a screen mounted light shine down could have on the keyboard, similar to HP EliteBook 8440p. Another thing that’s missing is a dual pointing device, but there is an option to buy so that both a touchpad and a can “Pointing Stick” to move the pointer around the screen to add. We found the touchpad sometimes “sticky”. The screen itself uses LED-backlit display is bright and fairly. It has a native resolution of 1366×768, 1600×900, but an optional control panel is also available.

Several configurations of the Compaq 6550b are available but the ones we used to examine an Intel Core i5-540M CPU with 2.53 GHz, a built-in Intel HD graphics card, a 7200, 320 GB HDD and 4 GB DDR3SDRAM to the 1 GB was used by the graphics card. The laptop ran the 32-bit version of Windows 7, so that an update is on the 64-bit version needs if you have more RAM (the laptop supports up to 8GB) to install. In our tests, this configuration is very good. It can be used for office applications and multimedia tasks are performed with ease. Its real-time 3D rendering performance is not great, but you could World of Warcraft or Starcraft 2 run, if you wanted.

In 3DMark06, the Compaq 6550b achieved a score of 1750, which is what we expected. Our Blender 3D and iTunes MP3 encoding test periods averaged 53sec 59sec each and a couple of seconds faster than what similarly configured Dell Studio 17 laptop will be recorded in the same tests. Transcoding a DVD file on a 1.5 GB Xvid file with AutoGordianKnot took 1h 6min, which is what we expected. In our hard drive transfer tests, the 7200rpm hard drive was due to 27.17 megabytes per second (Mbps) which is around 4 Mbit s slower than what the Compaq 6540b is with its 250 GB hard drive reached, we would like to see it about 30 Mbit s go. You have the option to install a Solid State Drive (up to 160 GB).

On the software and security side of things, the Compaq 6550b ships with HP ProtectTools, a fingerprint reader and Trusted Platform Module. You can use the fingerprint as a replacement for typing in passwords and HP Protect Tools, administrators can lock the machine so that certain devices are not used, and to encrypt the hard disk. We have spoken about ProtectTools in our review of the Compaq 6540b.

The Pavilion’s 6-cell, lasted 55 watt-hour battery 2h 12min in our rundown test, where we turn off power management, enabling Wi-Fi, maximizing the brightness of the screen and loop an Xvid-encoded videos. This is only two minutes away, which included the Compaq 6540b with the same battery and only slightly slower CPU speed. You have much more life out of this battery with a balanced power profile, lowering the brightness and turn off the screen can get during idle times.

Conclusion

With a supply base that is filled with features, hardware configuration, good performance and management tools that can be useful, the Compaq 6550b is definitely worth considering a laptop. It looks a feels a little bulky, but it is not too difficult and, above all, it is easy to type.

Of course, what initially interested us in this AS5251-1513 Acer laptop is the price. We see the top rated Netbook come accustomed to prices at $ 400, but not laptops. Laptops typically do not have the compromises and concessions that we see on netbooks. These compromises are provided in the form of limited memory, hard drives, smaller, less powerful processors and much smaller laptop screens.

So, let’s look at what was, if anything, to make compromises to give us this Acer AS5251-1513 laptop under $ 400 (the actual retail price is $ 379 at many locations).

The first thing I noticed when I received this laptop look and feel of the machine.

The processor on the Acer AS5251-1513 laptop is a 2.20 GHz AMD V Series V120 single-core processor. I’m usually an Intel processor, but these fanatics AMD processor is fast and very well made video with the new vision technology from AMD. Many laptops, that you come today with a “dual core” processor, but the Processer should meet the needs of almost any end user.

The hard drive on this machine is 250GB. For our money, that is plenty of disk space that will adapt to all your needs. Remember, the space on the hard drive of a machine has nothing to do with speed. It simply determines how much information you provide on computer. If you do word processing, PowerPoint, and all the other Office applications, this size is sufficient. Save for the rest of us, the endless movies and music, we always need another external hard drive for your laptop to buy. 250GB will meet all but the multimedia buff who are not satisfied with the storage capacity of each disk.

Well, if we look at the memory of this machine, we see the Acer AS5251-1513 laptop with 3 GB of DDR3 memory. Is this a compromise? Well, it’s a bit like the single-core processor mentioned. Most of today’s best selling notebook with 4 GB of RAM come, but we did not quite ask the question: Is this excessive? Once again, the standard end-users are fine with 3GB of RAM. In fact, I know people who still only by fine, with 1 or 2 GB of memory in their machines and they are often designed multimedia.
