ultraslim notebook asus zenbook
Friday, December 30th, 2011this is several ultraslim notebook review from techsout.com, just check it out :
1. asus zenbook
and here the complete review :
It was just last week that we got to take home the Acer Aspire S3, the first Ultrabook to go on sale here in the States. Unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to the pillars laid out by Intel: its performance trails similar machines, its battery craps out early and the design, while portable, is too chintzy to make it a bellwether for skinny Windows laptops. Our verdict, in a sentence, was that you’d be better off getting a MacBook Air, or at least considering other Ultrabooks — namely, ASUS’ line of Zenbooks.

ASUS outs UX21 ultrathin laptop with up to Core i7 CPUs (video hands-on!)
As it turns out, one showed up on our doorstep just a few days later. In many ways, the UX31 is everything the S3 is not: it has a gorgeous all-metal design and comes standard with an SSD and 1600 x 900 display (not to mention, a case and two bundled adapters). And with a starting price of $1,099, it undercuts the entry-level (and similarly configured) MacBook Airby two hundred bucks. So is this the Ultrabook we’ve all been waiting for? We suggest pouring yourself a large beverage, settling into a comfy chair and meeting us past the break. We’ve got a lot to say on the subject.
ASUS Zenbook UX31 review
Look and feel
It’s way too easy to dismiss Ultrabooks as MacBook Air wannabes. And yet, while the UX31 adds just enough pizazz so that you’d never mistake it for Apple’s wafer-thin lappie, it is the most Air-inspired contender we’ve seen so far. Mostly, it’s that all-metal build, spacious, buttonless trackpad and razor-thin silhouette that whittles down to some seriously sharp edges. In fact, if you have a gander at our comparison gallery down there, you’ll see more of a similarity between the Air and UX31 than the S3, which tapers, but in a less pronounced way. Still, while they’re both swaddled in aluminum, the 2.9-pound UX31 feels denser than the 2.96-pound Air. (The S3 weighs a smidge more, at three pounds, but we couldn’t for the life of us tell the difference when we held that in one hand and the UX3 in the other.)
Now that we’ve acknowledged that fruity 800-pound Gorilla in the room, we just have to say… the UX31 is stunning in person. Here at Engadget, we see more products in a week than we have time to review and in general, it behooves us to take a detached, almost clinical approach to handling gadgets, lest we get distracted by the toys piled high on our desks. With the UX31, though, we couldn’t help but feel struck by the tremendous craftsmanship. It just feels like an exceptionally solid, well-made product. The dark gray, metal lid has a pattern of etched concentric circles that lends it a modern, industrial look, backed up by a brushed aluminum deck and smooth metal keys. Even the bezel feels tough, while the lid is markedly sturdier than the S3′s.
In addition to the design, though, ASUS packaged this thing with care. In the box, you’ll find a brown fabric carrying case with a matching pouch that contains Ethernet and VGA adapters. As we were sifting through all this, another Engadget editor saw what we were doing and stopped to say this was a good-looking machine, and that those carrying cases weren’t too shabby, either. Then again, back in 2008 ASUS bundled the leather-clad U2Ewith a Bluetooth mouse and carrying case, so we can’t say we’re too surprised the company gave us a generous helping of extras.
But — and there is a but — we wish ASUS didn’t slap branding on it (and in a script font, no less!). Okay, so “UX31 Series Ultra Slim” isn’t branding so much as the product name, but why does it have to be so prominent? And in such a frou-frou font? It’s true, we’re generally against gratuitous logos, but that font makes for an oddly frilly touch on what’s otherwise a clean design.Secondly — and this is a more serious gripe — this is the only Windows-based Ultrabook we know of that doesn’t have an HDMI port. Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba all put one on theirs, but this just has mini-HDMI and mini-VGA ports. Yeah, we’ll take that VGA adapter and bet some folks in the PowerPoint crowd will appreciate it, but basically, anyone who wants to hook this thing up to their TV to stream Breaking Bad from Netflix is going to have to supply their own mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable (we’re seeing them for less than three bucks on Amazon).
Completing our tour around the edges, you’ll find a USB 2.0 port on the left side, along with an SD / MMC card reader and a dual headphone / mic port. Over on the right you’ll find those mini-HDMI and mini-VGA ports, along with a USB 3.0 socket that promises faster charging of USB-powered gadgets.
Keyboard and trackpad
The thing about the UX31′s metal keys is that they ultimately look better than they feel. Now it’s true, this keyboard is as sturdy as it seems, and the keys have a not-too-slippery finish that feels just right beneath the fingers. They even make a quiet, low-pitched sound — always a marker of sound build quality. And yet, we didn’t do our best typing here. Like the S3′s keys, these just don’t have enough travel. As we typed, the keys often failed to register our presses if we moved too fast or dug our fingers in too lightly. We made fewer errors when we made a concerted effort to press keys firmly before moving on, but what experienced touch typist wants to do that? We slugged through, ultimately typing the bulk of this review on it, but man, did we make a lot of spelling errors — ironic, in a way, given that the Enter, Backspace and Right Shift keys are all amply sized. (Tab, Caps Lock, left Shift and arrow keys are tiny, but for whatever reason we found this layout less cramped than the S3′s.)The UX31′s keyboard also isn’t backlit, which should be a strike against it when people are deciding between this and the MacBook Air.
Before we even started playing with the UX31, we received a note from an ASUS rep, asking us to update the touchpad’s driver. We can see why. At that time, the trackpad was so jumpy, so imprecise that it had the potential to hamstring the entire laptop. Fortunately, after we removed the driver and installed version 9.1.7.7 in its place, we noticed a huge boost in usability.
Still, it could use more fine-tuning. Even now, we don’t always feel like we have complete control over the cursor, and the touchpad sometimes registers left clicks as right ones. (Thankfully, you can sidestep this by double tapping to right click.) Throughout our testing, highlighting text felt like a chore, and we sometimes selected text by accident when we only meant to drop the cursor somewhere. If you tend to rest both your thumb and index finger on the trackpad, you’ll feel these bugs keenly, though we had less of a problem when we rested just our index finger on the pad. Not that any of you should have to change the way you use a touchpad.
The good news is that ASUS is well aware of the trackpad’s lingering kinks, and is working toward a fix. In fact, a rep told us we could expect a driver update next week. So sit tight, early adopters.
Display and sound
Just when we had resigned ourselves to 1366 x 768 resolution on 99.9 percent of the 13-inch laptops we test, ASUS goes and unveils the UX31, which comes standard with 1600 x 900 pixels. That boost gave us plenty of space to scroll through web pages and documents, but it also made for some crisp movie playback. At one point during our testing, we played the 1080p trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie and were able to catch all sorts of detail — puffs of smoke, the stubble on Robert Downey Jr.’s weathered face. Much to our surprise, the viewing angles are also impressive. Sure, if you watch from the sides you’ll see the contrast ratio become slightly more exaggerated, but you can at least follow along with ease. Even with the lid dipped forward slightly we could make out the action on-screen — something we can’t say about every laptop we review.
ASUS also paired that bright, sharp panel with speakers powered by Bang & Olufsen’s ICEpower technology. Though the speaker chambers are hidden in the chassis , believe us when we say they push out some surprisingly loud sound. Even at the median setting yours truly was good to go for a one-woman dance party, but we’re sure that if we invited a few friends to join in, the max setting would have helped O.D.B and Mr. Notorious B.I.G. carry on over the din.
As ASUS explains it, the sound is ported through the hinge, with bass, specifically, passing through the upper keyboard area. The good news is that you’ll get lots of sound and not much fury: the quality is minimally tinny — at least for a laptop — and that richness doesn’t get distorted when you crank the volume to the top setting. The truth is that booming sound might not have made our shortlist of things we wanted to see in Ultrabooks (not ahead of portability and battery life, anyway), but we are, of course, delighted to have it anyway. Also, come to think of it, that startlingly good sound underscores a broader truth about the UX31: this skinny wisp of a laptop is, indeed, robust enough to be someone’s primary machine.
Performance and graphics
The entry-level configuration we tested sports a 1.7GHz Core i5-2557M processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB ADATA SandForce SF2281 solid-state drive. That drive claims max read speeds of 550 MB/s and top write speeds of 500 MB/s. Indeed, when we ran the benchmark ATTO, simulating a 1GB transfer, our read / write rates peaked at those numbers. Needless to say, that’s leaps and bounds ahead of what you’ll get with the Aspire S3, which has a 320GB HDD for accessing files and 20GB of solid-state storage for storing the OS. In that same test, the S3 reached read speeds of about 80 MB/s and max write speeds of roughly 75 MB/s. And while the S3 booted in 45 seconds, the UX31 was consistently up and running in just 16. The UX31 also resumes from sleep in about two seconds, as promised (the S3 does the same). Through it all, the UX31 mostly remained cool and quiet, though it grew noisy and warm after playing a short 1080p trailer in Quicktime.
And that’s not all. If benchmarks are any indication, the UX31 matches — and sometimes bests — the Air’s performance. In PCMark Vantage, for instance, it managed an impressive score of 10,218, compared with 9,484 for the Air. In 3DMark06 it notched 4,171, while the Air landed a similar score of 4,223. Frankly, we’re not surprised the two are well-matched. As soon as we heard the UX31 would have all-flash storage and the same graphics card and 4GB of memory, we had a suspicion they’d play in the same league.
You should know that the UX31 comes with two preset Power2Go power management settings –battery saving and entertainment — and even when the machine is plugged in, benchmark scores vary wildly depending on which profile you choose. That PCMark Vantage score of 10,218 fell to 5,032 in battery saving mode, while its score of 4,171 in 3DMark06 dropped to 1,528. According to an ASUS rep, that’s because the battery saving mode essentially disables Turbo and throttles the GPU to near idle speeds. Additionally, we ran these tests with the balanced Windows power plan enabled, and saw scores similar to what we got in the Power2Go entertainment mode. With those power settings, the UX31 notched 10,508 in PCMark Vantage and 4,209 in 3DMark06. Since all of our laptop benchmarks assume that balanced power plan, these are the scores we chose to use in our chart below.
In any case, since the machine comes set to Power2Go’s battery saving profile, you should be sure to choose entertainment mode or tinker with the advanced settings if you really want screaming performance. Also, you can override the Power2Go utility by going into Windows power settings, clicking “Show additional plans” and selecting a stock power management profile.

Battery life
Now this is more like it. After testing the S3, which lasted little more than four hours, we were sure another Ultrabook could do better. Happily, we were right: the UX31 held out five hours and 41 minutes in our standard battery rundown test, which entails looping the same movie off the hard drive with WiFi enabled and the brightness fixed at 65 percent. That’s on par with the Air, which managed a similar five hours and 32 minutes out of the box in its native Mac OS X (in Windows, it lasted four hours and twelve minutes — almost exactly the same runtime as the Aspire S3). That’s also in line with ASUS’ own expectations — a rep confirmed that the company’s engineers are seeing almost seven hours with light use, and a little less than six with video streaming (again, to be fair, we play our movie off of the internal drive).
Software
The UX31 comes with a raft of pre-installed software, but for the most part, these are ASUS’ own apps that go unseen unless you actually need them. These run the gamut from Live Update to a power management utility to the software used for facial recognition. Again, a non-invasive bunch, with the one exception being the company’s registration page, which pops up as soon as you boot up.
As far as third-party apps go, you’ll see a trial version of Microsoft Office 2010 — a staple on Windows laptops, really — and Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security. In general, we’re not opposed to OEMs putting some kind of starter security software on there so that people are protected out of the box, but we have to say that Trend Micro’s suite, in particular, ran so discreetly we forgot it was there.
Configuration options and the competition
The UX31 is available in three configurations. We tested the $1,099 entry level model, which, again, has a Core i5-2557M processor, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SATA III drive. For $1,349, you can get it with the same processor and a larger 256GB drive. Lastly, the top-end $1,449 configuration combines a 256GB drive and a Core i7-2677M CPU. Across the board, you’ll get 4GB of RAM.
For what it is, it’s aggressively priced. Now it’s true, we were all expecting Ultrabooks to ring in at less than $1,000 — à la the Aspire S3 — but considering the entry-level UX31 has better specs than the base MacBook Air and undercuts it by two hundred dollars, it’s a pretty sweet deal. Allow us to explain: both laptops have a 1.7GHz Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of solid-state storage, though the UX31 packs a SATA III drive, in particular. The Air’s 1440 x 900 display is lower-res, but then again, it’s also indisputably gorgeous.
On the other hand, if you opt for an Air you’ll be getting a comfier keyboard and a more precise trackpad. And in terms of ports, the two are well-matched: while the Air has a Thunderbolt port, the UX31 has mini-HDMI and mini-VGA. Either way, you’ll forgo HDMI — something Toshiba and Lenovo’s Ultrabooks offer.
For what it’s worth, the UX31 also includes a case and two adapters, though you’d be crazy if you let that decide your purchasing decision.
ASUS Zenbook UX31 vs. Apple MacBook Air vs. Acer Aspire S3… fight!
On the lower end, we already know that Acer’s $899 S3 is the least expensive deal in town — and that you’ll be giving up design flair, long battery life and fast transfer rates. So while you’ll be paying the lowest price for an Ultrabook, you won’t be getting the best deal, per se.
Then there are the Ultrabooks we haven’t tested yet. If you’re hemming and hawing over the UX31, you might want to consider the Toshiba Portege Z830 and the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s — both have 13-inch displays (albeit, with 1366 x 768 resolution), USB 3.0 and HDMI output. Naturally, we’re curious to see how these stack up, but we can’t in good faith say much now, other than that they, too, look promising.
Wrap-up
After the first Ultrabook left us feeling lukewarm, we grew hopeful that maybe, just maybe, ASUS’ Zenbooks would get it right. While the S3 has little more to offer than a low price point, the UX31 has an arresting design and SATA III SSD that promises superior battery life and performance. And it still manages to undercut the Air by two hundred dollars, even though the two have similar specs.
So is the UX31 everything we thought it would be? For the most part, yes. With the exception of one nagging design quirk, it’s as stunning in person as it is in the press shots. It’s fast — faster than the Air, arguably — and its battery life is comparable. It offers the highest-res display we’ve seen in an Ultrabook and the sound quality is disarmingly good. The MacBook Air still gets high marks — not least because of its reliable trackpad and comfier (backlit!) keyboard. But if you can deal with the UX31′s shallow keys and have faith that ASUS will find its way with the touchpad, we have a feeling you’ll be very happy with this guy. It’s true, we still need to take a closer look at what Lenovo and Toshiba have to offer, but for now this is indeed the Ultrabook they need to beat.
Running Low? Maybe You Should Learn How a Battery Works First
Thursday, November 24th, 2011How a battery works
It’s one of those small items that we take for granted. They quietly drive our remote controls, toys, and our portable devices allowing you freedom from a fixed power supply. Of course, these are only a small list of functions for the humble battery. While they are a constant in our modern world the idea and need for a portable power source is nothing new. Credited to Alessandro Volta in the 1800’s, his invention, the Voltaic pile, is the blueprint physically and chemically for the modern battery. Improvements since his original over the years started with the lead-acid battery created in 1859, the dry cell a few decades later, and Thomas Edison in 1914 creating the alkaline type. Regardless all batteries contain these two main elements regardless of brand, size or type.
1. Physical layout
All batteries have a positive and negative terminal. These are necessary to allow it to transfer its energy. Internally, the positive terminal connects to a cathode and the negative to an anode, known collectively electrodes. Both have a separator between them and a fluid called an electrolyte. The final piece is the collector. Each electrode collects and passes the relevant charge, a flow allowed by the electrolyte, but maintained by the separator. It’s all then contained in some sort of case or shell, especially those using volatile electrolytes.
2. The chemical process
The battery generates electricity chemically. You are essentially completing a circuit that forces that current out of the positive terminal, through the device, and back into the negative one. The anode sees an oxidation reaction, where two or more molecules from the electrolyte get released and the cathode a reduction reaction that wants to absorb the electrons from the former. The electrolyte may vary based on battery but are of four common types, Zinc-carbon, Alkaline, Lithium-ion, and Lead-acid. Zinc, and alkaline, are well-known components of dry-cell batteries. Lithium-ion finds extensive use in rechargeables, while most know the good old lead-acid battery from automotive applications. All facilitate the electrochemical reaction necessary and do so until exhausted resulting in a dead battery.
The best description of battery power is as an internal chemical reaction. By using a special arrangement of metals and chemical compounds, it creates a flow of electronically charged ions once triggered when part of a completed circuit. The circuit is the matching terminals within whatever device you wish to power, like a toy or a flashlight.
Now if anybody asks you how does a battery work. You will know how to answer them and even help them avoid running low on battery.

10 steve jobs product
Monday, November 14th, 2011Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs passed away Wednesday at the age of 56, but during his time at Apple’s helm, he brought world an incredible array of visionary products that he helped design and create.
Jobs liked to call some of his products “magical.” While that might be a bit of an exaggeration, there’s no doubt he and the people he oversaw at Apple changed the way people interact with computers. One of Jobs’ biggest notions was the idea of building a device focused on the needs of a user and not just building technology for the sake of it. He oversaw the creation of the world’s single most popular portable music player and smartphone.
Here are 10 important products Steve Jobs brought to the world while at Apple:
Apple II
Launched in June 1977, the Apple II was the first successful mass-market PC. Jobs and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak designed the Apple II, and it changed computing around the world. The first Apple II had specs you would laugh at now, but they were quite good for the time: a 1-MHz processor, 4KB of RAM and an audio cassette interface for programs and data storage. The machine had an external 5.25-inch floppy disk drive as well. The Apple II and its successors would later pave the way for business and consumer PCs.
Lisa
While Apple’s 1983 Lisa computer was a failure of sorts because of its $10,000 price tag, it did introduce many computing features that continue to drive computing innovation. The Lisa was one of the first computers to offer multitasking, a document-based graphical user interface, an optional hard drive and bundled office software. The Lisa is arguably the least important item on this list, and if that’s the case, you can see just how notable Jobs’ contribution to technology products are to today’s society.
Macintosh
The original Macintosh computer was advertised during the Super Bowl in 1984 and famously decried the status quo of personal computing with imagery related to George Orwell’s 1984. The Macintosh redefined PCs and was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a graphical user interface and a mouse. The Macintosh line faltered in the early 90s but began to regain steam again with the iMac. (more…)
windows 8 tablet
Monday, October 24th, 2011Microsoft’s been pushing tablet computers for the best part of a decade, so you can imagine how happy the iPad’s success makes them.
But Microsoft doesn’t give up easily, and Windows 8 tablets will emerge. So what’s Steve Ballmer going to be shouting about when he shows them off?
Windows 8 tablets will have a new touch interface
As we saw from the recent Windows 8 preview, Windows 8 tablets will have a marvellous new interface that looks rather like Windows Phone 7.
“Fast, fluid and dynamic, the experience has been transformed while keeping the power, flexibility and connectivity of Windows intact,” says Microsoft’s head of Windows Experience Julie Larson-Green.
“Although the new user interface is designed and optimized for touch, it works equally well with a mouse and keyboard. Our approach means no compromises — you get to use whatever kind of device you prefer, with peripherals you choose, to run the apps you love. This is sure to inspire a new generation of hardware and software development, improving the experience for PC users around the world.”
Microsoft has drip fed sneak peeks at theinterface,unveiling the start menu in a video that also reveals how ISO files will be natively mounted in the new OS.
This week, Microsoft has had to defend the decisions it made with the Start Menu in Windows 8.
Windows 8 tablets’ release date
In December 2011, the New York Times wrote that Microsoft would unveil tablets running Windows 8 at CES 2011 in January, which proved to be incorrect.
The NYT credited an unnamed source for the leak, which suggests that Microsoft’s keynote will be enlivened by the arrival of the next generation of Windows, as well as Samsung and Dell tablets. As it turned out, no Windows 8 tablets were shown at the show.
However, the Windows 8 release date may be sooner than you think.
Speculation is rife that a Windows 8 beta will surface at Build, a developer conference being held by Microsoft in September.
On 8 September 2011, rumours around a Windows 8 tablet being shown off at Build gathered pace with Korea Economic Daily citing sources who say that a Samsung-made Windows 8 tablet will be making an appearance. Reuters also reported that Steven Sinofsky will present an onstage demo of Windows 8 running on a tablet.
That means Windows 8 tablets could be out by early 2012 – after CES 2012.
According to Bloomberg there will be no Windows for tablets until 2012. As we reported on 4 March 2011, sources told Bloomberg that a tablet-friendly version of Windows will be tested at the end of this year and not released until the summer of 2012.
Microsoft may launch its own Windows 8 tablet
New rumours suggest that Microsoft is working on an own-brand tablet to launch running Windows 8. The speculation comes from Taipei, with sources claiming that the tablet will make use of a Texas Instruments chip and will launch by the end of 2012.
Digitimes, which first published the rumour, claims its sources say that Microsoft is also looking to launch a tablet brand, as it did in gaming with the Xbox.
Engadget posted on 8 July 2011 that Dell is to follow up the Streak line with a Peju tablet that will run Windows – possibly in late 2011 – so no Windows 8 initially.
Windows 8 tablets manufacturers
It’s no surprise to see the names Dell and Samsung in the NYT piece: both firms have close relationships with Microsoft, although it’s interesting to see Microsoft getting groovy with an Android tablet manufacturer. We’d expect to see something like the leaked “Lap PC” from HP too.
UPDATE: A Samsung Windows 8 tablet was shown off at Microsoft’s Build conference on 13 September 2011.
On 9 May 2011, we reported on a rumour of a forthcoming Nokia Windows 8 tablet. The info comes from phone commentator Eldar Murtazin, who wrote on the Mobile Review forum that Nokia will launch a tablet in 2012, possibly pushed back to 2013.
Motorola says it is “completely open to Windows as a platform” according to Cnet. During an earnings call in mid August, Nvidia’s Jen-Hsun Huang also said: I’m very bullish about Windows 8,” said Jen-Hsun, “I think it’s going to be an amazing operating system. Windows 8 tablets and Windows 8 clam shells that Tegra is going into, I hope will translate into real growth for our company in the second half of next year.”
“We’re not leading the charge on Windows 8, but as we become comfortable that [Windows 8] is a viable ecosystem [and] that the quality of innovation and quality of services and quality of capabilities [are] being delivered there, we will certainly be open to that,” he said in response to a question.
It seems attendees to Microsoft’s Build conference in September might well be very lucky indeed – rumours abound that they will be presented with Windows 8 running on a quad-core tablet to test.
Windows 8 tablets will probably look like iPads
While Dell makes some unusually shaped tablets already, the Samsung tablet is “similar in size and shape to the Apple iPad, although it is not as thin.” Unlike the iPad, “it also includes a unique and slick keyboard that slides out from below for easy typing.”
Windows 8 tablets will be designed for business use
“The company believes there is a huge market for business people who want to enjoy a slate for reading newspapers and magazines and then work on Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint while doing work,” the NYT says, quoting the inevitable “person familiar with the company’s tablet plans”.
Windows 8 tablets will have apps and an app store
Apps are a big part of Windows 8, with Microsoft convinced that “app development will move to the web” and building a Windows Store with manufacturer-specific entrances. Again, we saw a lot more detail on this from the Windows 8 preview.
There have also been some leaked Windows 8 tablet apps.

apple and samsung fight
Sunday, September 11th, 2011It would appear that Apple is definitely out to get Samsung over their claims that Samsung gear copies the look and feel of the iPhone and Apple iPad. We already know that Apple was successful at getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned in Germany and is currently trying to get a Europe wide ban along with a ban in Australia, and now the dispute has move to another part of the globe.
According to an article on Reuters, Apple has now taken its hounding of Samsung to the land of the rising sun. The word is Apple has filed a patent infringement suit with the Tokyo District Court that seeks to halt the sales of Samsung handsets in the country. (more…)
