Lenovo G530 Review

Lenovo G530 Review

Introduction:

Lenovo offers three lines of laptops, the ThinkPad, IdeaPad, and not so frequently mentioned "Value Line" series. The line currently includes only the G530, a 15.4 "notebook is offering an Intel Pentium dual-core or Core 2 Duo processor and Intel integrated graphics.

Construction and Design:

The design of the Lenovo G530 is simple but elegant, a black MacBook-ish appearance when the notebook is closed. The edges are rounded and the cover has a matte black finish, smooth to the touch. The inside of the computer share the same color as the cover, but with a rougher texture mat similar to what you find on the unpainted sections of a ThinkPad. Lenovo is back on the road with the basic colors on this notebook, making it all black inside and out.

The frame is constructed entirely of plastic, but when most budget notebooks may feel fragile or flexible, the G530 feels like a block of solid material. When talking about the palm rest on most computers, including ThinkPad notebooks with good support always show some flexibility in the context of a very strong grip. Somehow squeeze the palm rests on the G530 feels like you are trying to draw a rock. Other areas of the computer share the same tenacity, including the keyboard and surrounding trim.

The frame is constructed entirely of plastic, but when most budget notebooks may feel fragile or flexible, the G530 feels like a block of solid material.

Somehow squeeze the palm rests on the G530 feels like you are trying to draw a rock. Other areas of the computer share the same tenacity, including the keyboard and surrounding trim.

Display:

The 15.4 "LCD is above average compared to most 15.4-16" notebooks, with new colors and bright and decent viewing angles. The group used is an old pane 16h10 1280×800, instead of the newer 16:9 1366×768 versions we see in most computers today. The screen offers a glossy surface, which helps to improve color and contrast add to the cost of reflections and glare. Compared to "frame" shows the reflections were tolerable as long as you are not outside in full sun. The brightness of the screen is sufficient for viewing in bright conditions of office, but can not cut out if it is overcast days. Vertical viewing angles are adequate for a large display area 30 degrees forward or back before colors started to invert or washing. Horizontal viewing angles were much better, with no color distortion at steep angles.

Keyboard and Touchpad:

The keyboard is easy to type on sharing the same comfortable and lasting impression that my ThinkPad T60 and keyboard just in different page. Individual key action is smooth, without any clicks when pressed. The keys are a smooth matte texture, giving decent typing traction … unlike the brilliant keyboards we see on more laptops these days. The keyboard is excellent, with no flex under pressure with strong typing. Media-related keys are limited to touch mute and volume up / down buttons above the keyboard.

The G530 uses a Synaptics touchpad with a good sensitivity and no noticeable lag when using. The texture is a good surface finish is easy to slide a finger through, even when wet. The touchpad and the buttons are great placed directly under the keyboard. I found it easier to trigger, requiring only light pressure to activate. Feedback buttons was minimal, giving only a significant reduction on the pressure. If you want to disable the touchpad, the keyboard has a function key that turns off the light and a blue LED between the touchpad buttons.

Configurations:

  • Intel Pentium Dual-Core T3400 (2.16GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 667MHz FSB)
  • Microsoft Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (w/ SP1)
  • 15.4-inch glossy 16:10 display (1280×800)
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
  • 3GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
  • 250GB 5400RPM HDD
  • SuperMulti DVD+/-RW Optical Drive
  • Broadcom WiFi (802.11b/g), 10/100 Ethernet, Modem
  • 6-Cell 11.1V 53WHr Battery
  • Limited 1-year standard parts and labor warranty
  • Dimensions: 14.1 x 10.1 x 1.45
  • Weight: 5lbs 13.9oz
  • Price as configured: $499

Performance and Benchmarks:

System performance of the G530 was good, considering it was equipped with an Intel Pentium T3400 dual-core instead of a Core 2 Duo processor, like most budget models, we are studying. The graphics are only limited to integration with the Intel X4500 chipset used in this notebook. If he can not handle the latest games, it fits easily with standard applications such as Microsoft Word, Firefox, iTunes and other multimedia applications. It can also handle HD movie playback, but with only VGA out, video connections are limited. On the whole basis of the small business or student using this book would be great.

Battery:

The Lenovo G530 uses a medium-sized 6-cell, which provides modest performance when not plugged into the wall. In our tests, with screen brightness at 70%, wireless active, Vista and made the "balanced" profile has remained on the system for 3 hours and 29 minutes. Average power consumption during the test was between 14 and 15 watts. A better processor with enhanced low power modes may give greater battery time, perhaps extending battery life in excess of 4 hours.
Verdict:
Lenovo really a budget laptop G530. It feels solid and well built, which is not usually the case when it comes to laptops at low cost. The style is very simple, similar to the HP or Dell Vostro ProBook line, and like the ThinkPad is a color scheme-black. System performance was good for normal use and can handle the HD content. The game is out of question, but given the market that is not a concern. Compared to a Vostro or ProBook I think the G530 feels more solid and given the price and configuration, the G530 is a better deal. Overall, I think Lenovo should push the notebook for small and medium enterprises, instead of the ThinkPad SL500, since the G530 looks like a much better machine.

Samsung AnyCall Haptic SCH-W550 Review

by NH47 | June 12th, 2009 

Samsung AnyCall Haptic Review

Samsung latest and greatest phone is touch screen-capable Anycall haptic, also known by the model number SCH-W420 and SPH-W4200. With a tactile user interface, this sleek little handset is able to simulate the sense of sight, hearing and touch, even to the user feels as if it were a “living” piece of technology. Take, for example, a volume of collection of the finger mark will result in a ticking noise often associated with an actual change of command, with vibrations to enhance the realistic effect.

FEATURES:-

* 3.2 “16:9 screen
* Internet browsing capability
* T-DMB support
* Camera 2 megapixel
*Connectivity * Bluetooth 2.0

If you thought the Apple iPhone was amazing, then feast your eyes – and fingers – on this phone from Samsung. Dubbed the Anycall touch, the phone features a large touchscreen like the iPhone.

However, the revolutionary gadget Apple iPhone better, at least for now: Samsung Anycall touch allows users to feel clicks, vibrations and other tactile input. In total, Anycall touchscreen gives the user with 22 kinds of touch sensations.

Those feelings to explain the use of the term haptic in the name. Haptic is Greek “haptesthai” meaning to touch. As an adjective, it means in relation to, or based on a sense of touch. As a noun, usually used in a plural form (touch), it means the science and physiology of the sense of touch. Scientists have studied for decades, touch, and know very little about the biology of contact. They know, for example, what kind of receptors are found in the skin and nerves of how the shuttle back and forth between the central nervous system and the contact point.

Unfortunately, scientists have had great difficulty transferring this basic understanding of touch in their virtual reality systems. Visual and auditory signals are easy to reproduce in computer-generated models, but tactile signals are more problematic. It is almost impossible for a user to feel something going on in the minds of the computer through a standard interface.

Samsung has just announced the Samsung Anycall SCH model touch-W420 and W4200. Samsung equipped with the new software TouchWiz user interface, the Samsung Anycall haptic promises a unique user experience with different ways. This new Samsung phone has a 3.2-inch 16:9 screen, with a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, and T-DMB. The software user interface can also allow users to create and modify their own desktops using widgets completely. Drag and drop function also makes it easier for the user. The Samsung Anycall haptic phone sold in the Korean market for around U.S. $ 700-800.

Samsung NV10 Review

by NH47 | June 12th, 2009 

Samsung NV10 Review

DESCRIPTION:-

The NV10 is a 10.1-megapixel pocket camera with a 3x optical zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens (sorry, one day we shall have a quality lens manufacturer with a name that is easy to write?). It has a number of automatic and manual options, and features an innovative “Smart Touch” control interface developed for the camera much quicker and easier to operate despite its relative complexity. It has a prize of £ 280, but is available for € 228.25.

I’ve already waxed lyrical in previous reviews about the revolution, the Samsung camera design department, so I will not go on here. Suffice to say that the NV10 is a remarkably attractive camera, and that the first impression is overwhelmingly positive. This is as it is on the field, a digital camera, the others envied. As you can see from the accompanying pictures, it has a very simple form, with a rectangular cross section and simple rounded ends. But the form fits the function and the camera is very good in the hand. On the front is a nicely shaped handle with a rubber insert for extra grip, while on the back of the lug for the strap as a thumb rest, a good stable job handgrip.The the NV10 is all metal, and the fit and workmanship are very good. The matte black color scheme provides class and understatement, and the controls are well designed and clearly labeled, except for the Smart Touch system, but we come back to later.

FEATURES:-

10.1-megapixel-1 / 1.8 “CCD with high resolution:-

The NV10 is a 18.5 thin black aluminum body  with Samsung’s unique blue ring on its extendable lens barrel, and a pop-up flash. A 10.1 megapixel, 1/1.8 “CCD, not normally in slim cameras, is used to better detail.

SmartTouch + large 2.5 “LCD:-

The new Smart Touch user interface makes it possible to quickly navigate menu items or images. The unique composition of the Smart Touch buttons with large 2.5-inch LCD on the back of the camera is assumed that much fun for users, giving them an experience unlike anything they have tried before.

The superior Schneider-Kreuznach lens:-
The superior Schneider-Kreuznach lens delivers crystal-clear images. Bright, startsat that F2.8 lens also provides resolution from the center to the edge. For more natural-looking pictures, each lens surface is multi-coated to the “Ghost” or “flare” phenomenon.

Advanced Shake Reduction:-
The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image quality and color common flash photography. With ASR the effects of the camera are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even well exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all. It guarantees brighter and more natural images.

Photo gallery feature:-

Motorola KRZR K1 Review

Introduction:

Motorola does not like anybody to feel excluded when it introduces a new slim phone. That is why it has taken care to present both GSM and CDMA versions of its new KRZR sexy. Verizon Wireless customers can get their hands on the Motorola KRZR K1m, while amateurs have access to the GSM Motorola KRZR K1. Apart from the outside of a color change and lack of external music controls, the K1 is almost indistinguishable from his brother, but his features CDMA has significant differences. At the time of this writing, the KRZR K1 is not offered by a U.S. carrier, you will return between $ 350 and $ 400. On the other hand we expect Cingular to pick up the phone soon and offer the best price with service.

As we said in our review of the K1m, we believe that the KRZR K1 is far more attractive than the Razr family. At 4.05×1.73×0.67 cm, its form factor more restricted, it is much more elegant, and even if it is slightly thicker in profile, it captures the thin phone trend shows no sign of dissipation. It is also more comfortable to hold in hand and is slightly heavier weight (3.6 ounces) gives it a more solid feeling. The sheet of glass and chrome on the bottom are also here, but overall, we give the most points in the design K1 more attractive because of its blue hue. Also, the blue skin attracts fewer fingerprints than the K1m money.

Design:

The most striking aspect of the design of the KRZR is, of course, its size, which measures 103 x 44 x17 mm and 107 g. The phone is slightlylonger and thicker than the RAZR V3 but the phone must have some itssubstance – it skinnier than the V3 nearly tenmillimeters. Users May be a little disappointed that Motoroladecided to cut the width instead of depth, but in the end it is anissue of personal taste. The phone features a mixture of gray and silver shades invarious for a nice professional look.

Motorola KRZR K1m Front frontplate has a bright metallic mirror rectanglesurrounded by the plate for an elegant reflection look. Whilethis design gives the phone a unique style, some users lament May theease with fingerprints adhering to the glass surface. At the verytop phone, its small form hidden in the subtle, floats the1.3 megapixel camera. At a safe distance is below the target thesquat 96 x 80 px external screen. The external display it even three residesabove not quite invisible touch sensor music controls. Theclamshell “break” occurs in the frontplate an inch or two abovethe low, offering the iconic RAZR look. With itsaesthetically placed target, the screen and the buttons on a glossy shinyplate, the elegant facade of the demand of the attention KRZR.

The plate has an almost rubbery texture, soft to the touch andpleasing to the eye. The back of the phone, battery and houses thespeaker phone as well as Motorola and Verizon logos. The USB port phone’ssingle style is on the side of the phone, and later withvarious buttons display and control of the camera.

A quick flip open the phone reveals a pretty standard keyboard, different expectations in a special camera to trigger buttonplaced opposite the Delete button. Users not used to the width of the phone skinny May have difficulty to deal at first, but filled therubber keyboard makes the keys are soft to the touch and providessome useful friction. Above the keyboard resides average size 176 x220 px internal display. For most, the interior panels thephone should offer no surprise to the previous cell phone users. The point of sale KRZRK1m is its avant-garde design, which offers a trimhandset with frontplate bright and soft-touch back. Usersmight need to take some time to adjust to the width of the phone and / orcarry around a rag to wipe the dust of the negligence of fingerprints, but the KRZR to meet the expectations of a new, slim design.

Out of the box, the Motorola KRZR K1m comes with a standard 780-Mahli ion, power cable, headphone adapter, user guide, and QuickReference Guide.

Camera:

For all of the phone looks stylish, it increases only to mediocrity in thecamera department. Not only is the 1.3 megapixel camera hardlycutting edge, but it also lacks a flash. Needless to say that photographers should look elsewhere seriousdigital their photographyneeds, but those who use their camera phone for fun (or not) should not have a problem.

The device has four standard resolutions: 160 x 120 px, 320 x 240px, 640 x 480 px, and 1280 x 1024 px. The brightness and white balance can be adjusted to optimize each shot. Zoom and a timer also add to the effectiveness of the phone. Photos May also be rotated using the externalscreen for self-portraits.

Although the absence of a flash and a more advanced at the expense of photoquality, the phone still manages to succeed where it is fun.
