We are testing one of the lowest priced members from Lenovo's IdeaPad N581 series with the IdeaPad N581-MBA4YGE. The laptop costs around EUR 400, sports a dual-core Pentium processor and relies on Window 7 as the operating system. Our test will show whether the device is worth its money.Asus A31-1015 Battery


Lenovo launches yet another series of all-round laptops with the IdeaPad N581 range. The line is comprised of innumerable models featuring various hardware configurations. Battery for Asus AL31-1015 More about that later. We tested one of the lowest-end members from the series. The test model harbors Intel's Pentium B970 dual core processor, which is supported by four gigabytes of working memory. Intel's HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) is responsible for video output. Data is stored on a 500 gigabyte hard disk and the laptop also harbors a DVD burner.Battery for Asus A32-1015

We use HP's Compaq Presario CQ58-148SG (Intel Pentium B950, Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge)) and Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W (Intel Pentium B960, Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge)) to classify the device.Battery for Asus PL32-1015


The IdeaPad N581 is made completely of plastic. The lid's rear is rubber-coated just like the wrist rest and keyboard bezel. Here, Lenovo makes reference to the ThinkPad series. The laptop does not feature many glossy parts due to the rubberized surfaces. The only exceptions are the screen and display bezel. The case's workmanship is acceptable, although there are a few flaws. For example, a few places with sharp edges on the base unit's sides.Asus Eee PC 1015PW Battery

The base unit basically conveys a solid impression. It hardly yields under pressure. Merely the bezel over the optical drive can be dented more intensely. The laptop only warps marginally when we pick it up at its opposite corners. The lid also can be twisted a bit. The hinges keep the display firmly in position. The lid rocks when we let go of it. It is possible to open the laptop with one hand if you lift the lid carefully.Battery for Asus UX31


Lenovo's N581 does not bear any surprises when it comes to connectivity and presents the expected interfaces. It is great to see that Lenovo has given the laptop two USB 3.0 ports. Neither HP's Compaq Presario CQ58-148SG nor Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W can serve with that.Battery for Asus ZenBook UX31


Communication

The test model we were supplied with is equipped with an undefined Wi-Fi module from Broadcom. Battery for Asus ZenBook UX31A The Wi-Fi module also harbors a Broadcom Bluetooth chip that supports version 4.0. Wired network connections are managed by Atheros' AR8161/8165 chip (Gigabit Ethernet). A webcam is installed in the display bezel.Battery for Asus ZenBook UX31E

Accessories

The usual accessories are included: a setup poster and two leaflets containing warranty information and safety instructions.Battery for Asus UX31 Ultrabook

Operating System and Recovery

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit is installed as the operating system in the IdeaPad N581's state of delivery.Battery for Asus UX31A Ultrabook A Windows 7 DVD is not included for the device. The system can be retrieved via a recovery partition. To initiate the recovery process, a small button beside the power button is pressed when the laptop is off. If you are planning to install a new hard disk, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 from a DVD. One of our news articles (German) reveals how the user can get a Windows 7 DVD free of charge.Battery for Asus UX31E Ultrabook

Software

Lenovo installs quite a bit of software on the hard disk: McAfee Antivirus Plus (60 day trial version), Adobe Reader X, Google Chrome, Power2Go (DVD/CD burning application), CyberLink's YouCam (webcam software), Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, Windows Live Essentials 2011.Battery for Asus C22-UX31

Beyond that, there are also a few tools from Lenovo. Two programs are particularly worth mentioning: Veriface and EE Boot Optimizer. Veriface is a face-recognition utility with which system access can be secured. EE Boot Optimizer is to optimize booting Windows 7. Charger for Toshiba PA5023U-1BRS

Maintenance

A big cover on the device's bottom enables accessing the hard disk, working memory and Wi-Fi module. Charger for Toshiba PA5024U-1BRS The user can access two memory banks. Our test laptop is equipped with a four gigabyte module. The laptop supports a maximum working memory of 8 GB. The hard disk can be replaced in a few steps. The fan is also behind the maintenance cover, but it is not possible to clean it. However Lenovo has not forgotten to include a cleaning possibility. Charger for Toshiba PA5026U-1BRS

Lenovo's energy management software includes a function called "Dust Cleaning". Charger for Toshiba PA5025U-1BRS It is supposed to blow out accumulated dust from the cooling system when enabled. Time will tell how effective this function is.

Warranty

Lenovo includes a 12 month bring-in warranty on the laptop. The customer sends the laptop directly to Lenovo in case of damage. The warranty can be upgraded to a period of 24 or 36 months. The price for this adds up to around EUR 30 or EUR 50 to EUR 60. Tip: All available warranty upgrades can be looked into on Lenovo's online shop via the laptops serial number. Charger for Toshiba PA5027U-1BRS
Keyboard

Lenovo installs its own, well-known AccuType keyboard into the IdeaPad N581 that is also built into many other Lenovo laptops. Charger for Toshiba PABAS259 PABAS260 The keys feature a clear pressure point and a sufficient drop. One feature of Lenovo’s keyboards is the rather small "enter", "backspace" and the right "shift" key. They are easily missed in the beginning and thus need a certain period of familiarization. Charger for Toshiba PABAS261

Touchpad

The laptop's touchpad features a generous size of 10.2 x 5.4 cm. It is slightly lowered in the wrist rest and rubber-coated, just like the wrist rest. Charger for Toshiba PABAS262 The finger should not be pressed too hard on the touchpad when gliding over its surface because the rubber coat slows down the finger and makes gliding difficult. The touchpad's right edge serves as the scroll bar. However, it is cannot be seen or felt since it is not marked. Charger for Toshiba PABAS263 The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures. Thus, functions like pinch-to-zoom are available. Both mouse keys are below the touchpad and feature a clear pressure point and short drop.


Lenovo's IdeaPad N581-MBA4GE is a classic Office laptop for price-conscious buyers. Routine computing tasks, such as Internet communication, Internet browsing, Office tasks or video rendering, are no problem for the device. The latter also applies to HD videos. Charger for Toshiba Portege Z830

We tested playback with a video in FullHD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and H.264 encoding. Charger for Toshiba Portege Z835 The processor's capacity was averagely 21 percent (measured using DXVA Checker). The video was rendered smoothly. The same is true for YouTube videos in every quality level. Thus, the laptop is qualified as a quiet video player for the living room. Charger for Toshiba Portege Z930

Should you need more power in the one or other point, you can turn to one of the other models from the IdeaPad N581 range. Charger for Toshiba Portege Z935 Online shops currently list roughly twenty IdeaPad N581 versions. The models differ in CPU, working memory size, hard disk capacity and operating system. There are even alternatives that feature a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 610M GPU in addition to Intel's integrated GPU. The prices range from EUR 350 to EUR 700. Charger for Toshiba PA5013U-1BRS


With 6:49 hours, the IdeaPad N581-MBY4YGE lasted the longest of the three comparison devices in idle mode. HP's Compaq Presario CQ58-148SG (6:01h) and Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W (6:12h) lag behind clearly. Idle mode is ascertained via BatteryEater's Reader's test. The screen is set to minimum brightness, the energy-savings profile is enabled and the wireless modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) are disabled. Samsung NP-R65 Charger

The IdeaPad N581 achieved a load runtime of 1:20h. Both other laptops lasted for six minutes longer. BatteryEater’s Classic test is used for the load test. For this, we set the screen to maximum brightness and enable the high-performance profile and wireless modules.Samsung NP-R70 Charger

One battery charge is enough to keep the Wi-Fi test running for 4:20h. There is not much of a time difference between the N581 and the CQ58-148SG (4:18h) or Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W (4:05h). Websites are automatically opened every 40 seconds in this test. The energy-savings profile is enabled and the screen's brightness is set to roughly 150 cd/m2. Samsung P60 Charger

The IdeaPad N581 accomplished a runtime of 3:37h in the DVD test (CQ58-148SG: 3:51h, Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W: 3:11h) The DVD test is performed with disabled wireless modules. The screen is set to maximum brightness and the energy-savings or higher profile is used should the DVD not be rendered smoothly.


The IdeaPad N581-MBA4YGE consumed between 7.6 to 11.8 watts while idling. Its consumption is slightly lower than that of Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W (8.6 to 12 watts) and HP's Compaq Presario CQ58-148SG (8.5 to 11.7 watts). Battery for Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3

This difference was even greater during full load (Prime95 and Furmark run simultaneously). Thus, the IdeaPad N581's power consumption of 44 watts is clearly lower than Sony's laptop (49.3 watts) and HP's device (48 watts). The same is seen in the medium load range (3DMark 06). Lenovo's IdeaPad N581 is satisfied with a power consumption of 30.2 watts while HP's Presario CQ58-148SG consumes 34.1 watts and Sony's Vaio VPC-EH3C0E/W drains 37.5 watts.Samsung NP-P50 Charger


The IdeaPad N581's surface temperatures were always within an acceptable range.Toshiba Qosmio X875 battery We measured temperatures between 24 and 32.6 degrees Celsius on both the top as well as the bottom during idle mode. The temperatures climbed to rates between 24 and 38.1 degrees Celsius during full load (Prime95 and Furmark run simultaneously). Overall, the temperatures do not thwart working with the laptop. It is even possible to place the device on the lap.Toshiba Satellite P800 battery

The CPU's and GPU's full clock was always available during our stress test performed in AC-mode (Prime95 and Furmark run simultaneously for at least one hour). Toshiba Satellite U845W battery The CPU also clocked at full speed on battery power. The GPU clocks with 1050 to 1150 MHz. The CPU's temperatures settled to 68 degrees Celsius here.

Toshiba Satellite U845 battery
As true for all laptops featuring a Pentium processor and the most basic Intel GPU - if you want to play up-to-date 3D games, you should steer clear of this device. Its power is only enough to render games in their lowest resolution and quality level. However, games like Fifa 11, 12 and 13 can be played in a higher resolution/quality.Toshiba Satellite P755 battery

The battery life of all three laptops is comparable as they use batteries with similar capacities (HP: 47 Wh, Lenovo: 48 Wh, Sony: 45 Wh).Toshiba Satellite L735 battery If you are looking for the cheapest laptop with the longest battery runtime, you might take a look at Lenovo's G585. This laptop accomplishes a runtime of 8:40h in idle mode. Toshiba tecra r940 battery

The device is equipped with AMD's E2-1800 APU. However, we have to point out that the CPU part of the AMD APU is much weaker than the CPU part of Intel's Pentium B970.Toshiba tecra r840 battery


With the IdeaPad N581, Lenovo again introduces an affordable laptop that excels with its good money for value performance.Toshiba tecra r950 battery The device provides enough power to satisfy the requirements of most users. However, you have to live with a contrast-poor screen like in almost every low-budget laptop. You can also opt for the IdeaPad N581-MBA4XGE, which is EUR 50 cheaper, if you do not need Windows 7.Toshiba tecra r850 battery The saved money could then be invested in a warranty upgrade. If you are looking for an even cheaper laptop, you should look closer at HP's Compaq Presario CQ58-148SG.

It took a bit over a year before Dell updated its new Latitude range business laptops for the known reasons.ASUS G73JH-TZ011V battery Our review reveals which new features we can expect apart from Intel's latest Ivy Bridge generation - and what the 14 inch business device has to set against the prestigious competition.


Malicious tongues may say: "Nothing's changed except for the keyboard bezel's color and the model number". ASUS G73JH-TZ012V battery We don't quite agree though - after all, newer processors and even USB 3.0 ports are now installed. However, a lot of things have been maintained. Indeed, the keyboard's reddish rim has been replaced by a charcoal black, and as we believe, more business appropriate one. Otherwise, we are facing the same bulky and solid case that we examined extensively last year in the Latitude E6420.ASUS G73JH-TZ014V battery

Our test configuration adds up to about EUR 1225 plus shipping and thus offers a solid value for money ratio. ASUS G73JH-TZ034V battery However, the competition was not idle during the past year and released (partly updated) models in the price range of EUR 1200 to 1500 on the market. Our test device's competition will be found in 14" top-of-the-range models, such as Lenovo's Thinkpad T430, HP's Elitebook 8460p or other solid business laptops like Toshiba's Tecra R840.ASUS G73JH-TZ059V battery


Since the case is identical to the previous model, with exception of the keyboard's charcoal colored bed, as mentioned above, we would refer to the in-depth 2011 review of the E6420. Here, a brief summary:ASUS G73JH-TZ091V battery

The subjective first impression is solid - as usual. Dell touts the so-called Tri-Metal case to be in accordance with a military standard (i.e. concerns the case stability). Materials such as aluminum and magnesium (mainly for the chassis) are installed, partly prettily interwoven, to achieve the desired robustness.ASUS G73JH-TZ128V battery

The rigidness is still top-notch. Nothing yields, warps or dents. The hinges look like they could carry a much heavier burden, but they nevertheless allow us to open the lid easily and keep it precisely in the set opening angle (maximum approx. 185°).ASUS G73JH-TZ155V battery A lightly rubberized surface is used in the input devices' area. Apart from the wrist rest's subtle clatter when we "tapped" on it, we did not notice anything adversely - the E6430's case makes a flawless impression.


The majority of ports have not been modified either. ASUS G73JH-TZ172V battery Except for the fact that now the much faster USB 3.0 standard is supported (2 ports on the case's right) in contrast to the E6420 precursor, the available interfaces and their positioning is unchanged. This upgrade eliminates one of the biggest criticisms of the predecessor, where USB 3.0 was only available via accessories retail, and had to be swapped with the optical drive. This naturally angered many customers and was not uncontroversial in our forum.ASUS G73JH-TZ173V battery

The left rear corner harbors the power socket, RJ45 LAN port and a powered USB 2.0 port (for charging smartphones when the laptop is off), and a VGA out for connecting older monitors and projectors as well as an combo audio jack. A SmartCard reader is also located at the front left edge.Cheap G73JH-TZ207V battery

On the opposite side, so the right's front edge, you will find a 45 mm ExpressCard slot, a slider switch for enabling/disabling wireless modules (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth). 2 USB 3.0 ports, a combined USB-2.0 / eSATA port, an HDMI port and a connection for Kensington laptop locks are distributed around the right rear corner.Cheap G73JH-TZ218V battery

A SD card reader is located on the front and - when required - a 56K modem can be installed at the rear. In addition to that, there is a docking port on the case's bottom as usual.Cheap G73JH-TZ224V battery


Communication

Intel's Centrino Advanced-N 6205 WLAN chip is installed in our configuration.Cheap G73JH-X1 battery It supports the b/g/n standards and can transmit screen content to compatible monitors/flat screens via Wireless Display technology. Wi-Fi reception is outstanding as expected from a good business laptop. Dell also installs Bluetooth 4.0 via a proprietary Wireless 380 module; Intel's 82579LM adapter provides Gigabit Ethernet.Cheap G73JH-X2 battery

Security

The customer's security needs should be covered to a certain degree in the business field.Cheap G73JH-X3 battery Not for nothing does Dell install a SmartCard reader that manages access control when required in addition to the almost compulsory fingerprint scanner. A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) alongside software for data encryption and protection supplies everything that the business heart desires.Cheap G73JH-X5 battery

Accessories

Apart from the user's manual, a bit of information from the manufacturer, DVDs for the operating system, drivers as well as Dell's software and the PSU, there are no accessories in the original box. Cheap G73JQ battery Of course you can buy or order a lot of accessories online or by phone as usual. They range from expansions for the DVD drive bay, such as docking stations (EUR 160 to 180) up to rather "common" accessories like mice, keyboards, external monitors and even laptop bags. A higher capacity, 9 cell battery to replace our 6 cell version, for example, costs additional EUR 59 and might be an interesting option for mobile customers.Cheap G73JW battery

Maintenance

Replacing the optical drive or the hard disk is very simple: Both components are (left/right on the case's bottom) installed in slots and are easy to access from the outside. Cheap G73JW-3DE battery The DVD drive can be easily pulled out via a retractable catch, and be replaced by various accessories from Dell. Two cross slot screws have to be removed before taking out and replacing the hard disk. Another five screws have to be removed before the magnesium base plate opens to reveal a glimpse at the rest of the hardware. For example, the working memory can be exchanged or upgraded here (one slot is empty in our model).ASUS G73JW-91037V Charger

Warranty

Dell standardly bestows their Latitude customers with a 36 month basic warranty on hardware. Of course, it is also possible to take advantage of online or telephone support for smaller issues. Moreover, you can also order Dell's 3 year ProSupport and on-site service for EUR 154 instead of this standard warranty.ASUS G73JW-91093V Charger
Keyboard

As expected from a business laptop from this price range, a full-sized keyboard is installed although without a number pad due to the case's 14 inch size. Subjectively, typing on this sample is very pleasant. The pressure point is nice and crisp. Typing however sounds a bit louder than usual and a bit clatterier, which is quite contrary to the keyboard's solid, tactile feedback.ASUS G73JW-91094V Charger

The keys' surface is again soft in contrast to the competition, but it is a lot sleeker - almost like Apple's keyboards.ASUS G73JW-91116V Charger Other goodies include a backlit keyboard with 5 brightness levels and liquid ducts that, for example, conduct spilled coffee away from vital electronics to the outside. A track point is embedded in the center area that, alike the touchpad, is to implement mouse movements. But more about that in the following paragraphs.ASUS G73JW-91121V Charger

Touchpad

Dell does a virtually perfect job when it comes to the mouse replacement installed in the Latitude E6430. ASUS G73JW-91137V Charger The touchpad's very subtly roughened surface lets you glide over it with ease and the pointer navigates precisely and accurately over the screen. Both soft-click buttons are located beneath the touchpad and are dedicated. They feature an agreeably long keystroke and can be pressed simultaneously to simulate a center wheel click. But they sound clatterier than the tactile feedback.ASUS G73JW-A1 Charger

The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom or popular two-finger scrolling and we were awed about its sleek feel in the test. Thus, scrolling is very smooth - almost like known from MacBooks - even and suave. You are transported gently to the top of a website in no time when two fingers quickly swipe upward.ASUS G73JW-TY098V Charger

Of course, some businesspeople have been using track points since their invention. The Latitude also adequately caters to this target group. The track point features a non-slip, dotted rubber surface. The three corresponding toggle buttons - between the keyboard and touchpad - do their job accurately and bid a crisp pressure point without producing a clattery noise.ASUS G73JW-TZ039V Charger

Eager users might reproach that some keys on the Latitude are no longer dedicated (e.g. print or break via the function key as a secondary assignment of another key) and are thus more difficult to trigger. However, the input devices' other qualities convinced us completely. NP-P50 battery


Processor

Intel's Core i5 3320M (details here) bids quite a lot for its comparatively low price in view of a default clock of 2.6 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz and Hyper Threading technology. NP-P60 battery If that was too much jargon in a single breath, we will let the practical rates give you an impression of the CPU's performance in the following.

Using Cinebench R11.5 (64bit, single), we first test how well Turbo Boost speeds up the processor or whether there are any throttling issues, so if it is slowed down due to temperatures. NP-R40 battery The Latitude E6430 excels in this test: It achieves the 15th overall place of all previously tested devices, which proves that the business laptop accelerates processes that only need one core properly.

HWInfo illustrates, as seen in the right screenshot, that Turbo works efficiently and, above all, permanently. NP-R65 battery One core appears to be pinned down at the maximum clock (3.3 GHz) already in the slowest measured speed (see right screenshot). However, both cores usually remain above 3 GHz. NP-R70 battery

This shows that it simply does not make sense to invest a lot of money in an expensive quad-core CPU for most applications (excepting highly parallelized ones such as video editing or high-end games). NP-R70 battery Our Core i5 3320M is even partly faster than laptops featuring a Core i7 3615QM! Even the Core i7 3520M in the more expensive Thinkpad T430 is only faster by insignificant 6%.

The multi-thread test, where processors can benefit from every additional core, is also finished well. Our device is located in the midfield. P210 battery The Thinkpad now has an 8% lead, HP's Elitebook 8460p featuring a Core i7 2620M from the outdated Sandy Bridge generation lags behind our Latitude by 1%. Toshiba's Tecra R840 featuring a Sandy Bridge Core i5 2520M falls behind by 7% and extracts a surprising amount from the somewhat slower processor.P460 battery

We conclude: performance doesn't have to be very expensive; all devices here are roughly on a par in terms of performance. The Toshiba and our Latitude are even about EUR 300 cheaper than the HP or Lenovo. P50 battery


Battery Runtime

With its 6 cell battery that has a capacity of 62 Wh according to HWiNFO, our Latitude lasted for 8h and 46min in BatteryEater Reader's benchmark before it had to be reconnected to the mains again (minimum brightness, disabled WLAN and enabled energy-savings mode). P560 battery Thus, you may be pleased if you like to read eBooks on the go.

Of course, our standardized Wi-Fi browsing test is more interesting for most readers as it allows conclusions on battery life in real-world conditions. Here, a few websites and online media (e.g. HD videos on YouTube) are visited and consumed via a script using enabled energy-savings mode and a screen brightness of roughly 150 cd/m2. Our Latitude lasts for 5h and 36min and is on a par with the Tecra R840. high quality P60 battery

The Elitebook 8460p lags behind with 5h and 13min and, with its much bigger 94Wh, 9 cell battery, Lenovo's Thinkpad T430 only extracts about an hour more with 6h 29min. As mentioned, a battery with the same capacity is also available for our Latitude for fairly low EUR 59 extra and it should be good for up to seven hours away from the mains.high quality P60 Q210 battery

It is even possible to take DVDs along with you on the go. 4h 54min should be enough to easily watch two average-length blockbusters before the battery is drained.high quality Q310 battery

Our test device is exhausted after 1h 42min of heavy load (BatteryEater Classic). Thus, it also fares very well here and lasts roughly 20min longer than the comparison devices with a 6 cell battery. This confirms that the E6430 is more energy-efficient than its contenders.high quality R40 battery


As unspectacular and modest as business laptops may appear at first glance, you would never guess how much performance they often hide inside. Samsung R410 battery In the Latitude E6430's case, we are faced with a slightly different case design - as usual, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but the other qualities of the aluminum/magnesium chassis are convincing. Its stability and rigidness pleases immediately - just like the solid hinges that have a firm grip but nevertheless allow the lid to be opened smoothly. Samsung R45 battery

Beyond that, the maximum opening angle of 185° allows work in every (im)possible position - the vents are placed so that using the device on the lap does not leave you gasping for air.high quality R460 battery

However, the competition also convinces with solid and rigid cases. We admit that we sooner have a cheap configuration. Thus, we have to painfully live without a HD+ screen, as used in the Thinkpad T430 or Elitebook 8460p, for example. high quality R505 battery The test of the prior Latitude E6420 shows that Dell's HD+ screen option for mere EUR 37 extra would supply outdoor suitable brightness rates and thus be a very recommendable upgrade in contrast to our poor TN screen. cheap R510 charger

The noise produced by the keys while typing on them also seems loud and clattery. Samsung R60 battery The rest of our configuration is pleasing and the comparatively low-priced Latitude even breaks our record in PCMark 7's computing test and beats the now second-placed device by a whole 18%. The conventional hard disk also writes and reads quite fast and places yet another cornerstone for the system's very good speed. The modest as well as well-designed fan management also spares nerves, especially in larger offices.high quality R610 battery

In a nutshell: the purchase decision is yours - or better said, it depends on your intended use. If you like the case design, do not play sophisticated games and are not exactly planning to work with CAD software, there is absolutely nothing that speaks against the Latitude E6430. And it can be put on the desk at the office for a relatively low price.Cheap R65 battery

The ultrabook market is currently experiencing a growth spurt.Sony VAIO PCG-CS battery Virtually every reputable notebook manufacturer has introduced at least one model in the past few months. In contrast to notebooks which are also designed to cover the mobile sector, ultrabooks feature much higher computing powers and have much higher build qualities. Sony’s latest entry into the ultrabook market is the 13.3 inch Vaio SVT1311M1ES. Sony VAIO PCG batteryThe ultrabook is made completely of aluminum. Behind its sleek and attractive exterior lies a thoroughly well designed interior. The Vaio is based on a new Intel Core i3 ULV processor and a hybrid hard disk. The ultrabook's weight of 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds) is also impressive. We will see how Sony's ultrabook fares in our tests.Sony VAIO VGN-TX battery

We would like to add that our test sample of Sony's Vaio SVT1311M1ES is a pre-series model. Sony VAIO VGN-T batteryThere may be differences in upcoming retail configurations and it should be noted that our results, measurements, and findings may not apply to these retail configurations.The Sony Vaio SVT1311M1ES makes an excellent first impression.

Moreover, the aluminum case fits well with the ultrabook's design and can best be described as elegant. Sony VAIO VGN-FS batteryThe notebook's low build height underlines this even more. The screen can be opened comfortably using one hand and without lifting the base at the same time. One will notice how little weight the delicate display has when opening it. This however also has an impact on the screen's stability. The slightest pressure is enough to cause the display to warp. It seems that a few components in the display bezel exert pressure against the screen and we noticed a few marks here.Sony VAIO VGN-FJ battery

Two small plastic feet at the rear of the ultrabook elevate the entire rear end of the unit to make typing more comfortable and improve the ultrabook's cooling. The user sees more aluminum when the device is opened.Sony VAIO VGN-FE battery Our pressure tests show that the base unit is more rigid than the display. The wrist rest hardly yields under pressure and the frame around the keyboard is also very solid. The surface can only be depressed slightly in the keyboard's center. This is within acceptable limits and barely noticeable when typing.Sony VAIO VGN-AR battery

Overall, the ultrabook's workmanship does not give reason for complaint. The aluminum case and solid build give the user the confidence of knowing that he or she is dealing with a high-end device. However, the screen should be treated with care due to its low thickness and resulting lack of complete rigidity.Sony VAIO VGN-BX battery


The touchpad in Sony's SVT1311M1ES is pretty wide but not very tall. This becomes obvious when looking at the touchpad's dimensions of 100 millimeters (width) x 56 millimeters (height) (3.9 x 2.2 inches) and a diagonal of 112 millimeters (4.4 inches). No mouse keys are seen at first glance.Sony VAIO PCG-N505 battery Like Apple notebooks, the touchpad itself is the key and can be pressed at both lower edges. A clear click noise confirms triggering. This feature worked perfectly in the test. Sony VAIO PCG-Z505 battery

However, we were a bit unhappy with the touchpad's functions. The touchpad often responded very sluggishly or jerkily.Sony VAIO PCG-R505 battery This is very annoying and bothersome during use and does not really fit into the quality device that the Vaio SVT1311M1ES attempts to be. We however assume that the occasional jerks are due to the pre-series status and will be eliminated in the retail version. Multi-touch of course belongs to the touchpad's scope of functions. However, it also exhibits occasional jerks in the course of normal use.Sony VAIO PCG-V505 battery


Intel's Core i3-2367M processor is installed in Sony's ultrabook. It is a ULV (ultra low voltage) model with an exceptionally low consumption. Sony VAIO PCG-TR batteryHowever, that also affects performance. Both cores are not clocked particularly high at 1.4 GHz. Turbo Boost 2.0 is not a feature of the ULV processor and thus it is not automatically overclocked during use. Nevertheless, multi-threading is possible and so it can process four threads simultaneously. Intel's HD Graphics 3000 is also integrated in the processor. Due to this limitation, the i3-2367M only has a TDP of 17 watts. "Normal" i3 processors are specified with a TDP of 35 watts.SONY VAIO VPCEB11FM battery

To date, we have not had many 13.3 inch subnotebooks or ultrabooks for review. As a result, comparisons with Sony's Vaio ultrabook are limited. Only Toshiba's Portégé Z830-10N (2367M, HD 3000) features the same processor. By comparison, the Vaio ultrabook scores a bit better than the Portégé in Cinebench R10's single rendering (64bit) test of only one core. The Vaio achieves 2275.0 points while Toshiba's Portégé lags a bit behind with 2233.0 points.SONY VAIO VPCEF20 battery


Except for Firewire, Sony has actually given the Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ all connections that you can expect from a multimedia notebook nowadays. Aside from the mandatory socket for the adapter and a RJ-45 gigabit LAN port, there are two monitor sockets on the left.SONY VAIO VPCEE20 battery Whereby VGA is mainly suitable for older monitors. Because the image quality via VGA is very modest, you should fall back on the significantly more modern HDMI if possible.Sony VAIO VPCZ116GGB battery

HDMI transmits image and audio signals in a very high quality and is thus perfect for connecting it to your own entertainment center. An eSATA, which can also be fitted with USB devices with a bit of pressure from the user, has been placed beside the HDMI. A slot for ExpressCards with a width of 34 mm finishes the left.SONY VAIO VPCEC20 battery

Besides that, even two cardreaders can be found on the front. One is thought for Sony's own formats (MS) and the other is for SD cards. Right beside that a practical slider is hidden, SONY VAIO VPCEB20 batterywith which the integrated WLAN and Bluetooth can be enabled or disabled. Additionally, two audio sockets wait on the front right end (headphone/line-out, microphone/line-in), over which positioning you can argue virtuously. In return, the port distribution on the right is unacceptable.SONY VAIO VPCEB10 battery

To place three USB 2.0 port in the front area is more than impracticable. SONY VPCEA20 batteryIf you have many cables connected and use a mouse, you're freedom of movement will be obviously restricted (as also on the left). Apart from that, the optical drive is found beside the USB ports (in our case an unspectacular DVD burner) and a Kensington lock.SONY VAIO Z battery

So there is barely anything to complain about in terms of the connectivity alignment, but the port distribution belongs to one of the most disadvantageous ones that we have ever seen.Sony VAIO VPCZ12AVJ battery The input devices make an overall good impression, despite numerous cutbacks. The keyboard can convince with its well-sized keys, a well-considered layout and a crisp key pressure point and stroke. The stability of the separate number pad isn't as convincing. This area bends even under the slightest pressure. Also, both the arrow keys and the left shift key have turned out a bit too narrow. The clattery, loud and cheap sounding noise emitted while typing is a further disadvantage.Sony VAIO VPCZ12AHJ battery

By the by, there are three hot keys above the keyboard. The so-called "Web" key is especially worth mentioning. Sony VAIO VPCZ12AGJ batteryPressing the "Web" key during Windows' operation merely opens a web browser, whilst a sort of mini operating system starts in a deactivated state. It reminds strongly of ExpressGate and allows access within seconds to an amazingly fast web browser. This function is particularly handy if you only want to check your emails or look something up quickly.Sony VAIO VPCZ12AFJ battery


The Sony Vaio FZ21E is an aesthetically pleasing notebook in compact case, whose workmanship is alright and which scores points,Sony VAIO VPCZ129GG battery because of its first-class haptics. The provided HDMI port makes this notebook even fit for the digital future.The input devices, i.e, keyboard and touch pad, are user-friendly, so, satisfying an important aspect of office optimized notebooks. The hotkeys right above the keyboard are also user-friendly and look good.Sony VAIO VPCZ128GG battery

The built-in display is overall average. It's resolution is 1280x800 pixels, the brightness is good, while contrast and illumination are acceptable.Sony VAIO VPCZ11ZHJ battery However, the viewing angles are not so good.The performance of the Sony Vaio VGN-FZ21E is obviously optimized for office tasks and low noise an temperature emissions. Multimedia applications, especially computer games, are only possible with restrictions. For daily work like Internet, office and DVD playback the provided performance is by all means sufficient.Sony VAIO VPCZ11AVJ battery

The battery runtime of the notebook ranges from very short 50 minutes under load to a maximum of 4 hours with activated energy saving options (minimum brightness,…). In practice (i.e. with WLAN) the runtime will be assumably about 2-2.5 hours.Sony VAIO VPCZ11AHJ batteryAlthough Sony cites a "special anti-reflection coating", the Vaio's display basically reflects just as much as the glossy reps that are used for the majority of notebooks nowadays. The colors might generally appear a bit more vibrant,Sony VAIO VPCZ11AGJ battery but the disadvantages definitely outweigh the advantages. Thus, unpleasant reflections can already turn up indoors in adverse light conditions or light incidence. Additionally, there is almost nothing to be seen on the display already in normal daylight outdoors, not to mention the extraordinary smudge sensitivity.Sony VAIO VPCZ11AFJ battery

Conclusively, the limited viewing angles have to accept criticism. Already slight deviations are enough to drive the image into gray and to falsify color fidelity, in particular on the vertical plane.Sony VAIO VPCZ118GC batteryOverall, the built-in display is completely disappointing and is only suitable for office tasks or for generally undemanding users. If you edit images, like to play games or often watch movies, you should definitely connect an external monitor.Sony VAIO VPCZ119GC battery

In the Cinebench R10 multi rendering (64bit) test, the Vaio stays ahead of Toshiba's Portégé Z830-10N. Sony VAIO VPCZ117GGX batteryThe difference between both notebooks is very marginal. Sony's ultrabook leads with 5048.0 points to 4821.0 points for Toshiba's laptop. Sony's ultrabook is soundly defeated when compared with the MacBook Air 13 inch 2011 (2557M, HD 3000) at 8266.0 points.Sony VAIO VPCZ117FC battery It should be noted that the Vaio belongs to a set of slower models when compared with other ultrabooks (comparison: Asus Zenbook UX31E-DH52B (2557M, HD 3000) 8349.0 points). Here it becomes evident that other ultrabooks are equipped with stronger processors.

We tested the Asus N55SF -S1124V 15.6" multimedia notebook in November last year. Acer 5633WLMi battery Now, Asus has an updated version in its range called N55SL-S1016V. The new SL shares a lot with its predecessor: the same case, a 1080p matte screen, and a subwoofer. However , the refresh sports Intel's dual core i5-2450M instead of a quad core i7-2630QM. The graphics card has also been changed. While the Asus N55SF-S1124V still featured an Nvidia GeForce GT 555M, the GeForce GT 635M is the card of choice for the SL. Acer 5632WLMi battery

The SL comes with a 500 GB hard drive and 8 GB of memory. Another major difference compared with the SF is the price. Whereas Asus price-tagged the Asus N55SF-S1124V at EUR 1100 ($1400), the SL is only EUR 900 ($1145). Acer 5612AWLMi battery That is reason enough to take a closer look.In the past few months, Asus has stirred up the tablet community with its Transformer Pad series. Foremost amongst these tablets was the Prime TF201, which performed very well in many reviews. Sadly, its aluminum case caused problems with WLAN and GPS reception. Acer 5612WLMi battery

The successor, the Transformer Pad TF300T, has a composite material case (and avoids those issues), but it does not have the same level of workmanship or great display as the Prime. The latest addition to the Transformer family is the high-end Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T which corrects all the past mistakes. Asus promises a fantastic design, great workmanship and top class performance. Acer 5611ZWLMi battery

We cannot find any deficiencies in the technical specifications of the tablet. The 10.1 inch display has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Acer 5611AWLMi battery The model runs on the powerful Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU (4 cores runs at 1.6GHz) and has up to 64GB flash storage. The technical specifications of the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T are a delight to read, as this is one of the most powerful tablets, on paper at least. In addition, the test model has a great look: an aluminum case with the Asus ZEN design. This design is composed of fine, concentric circles on the case surface, which "simulate the senses". As expected, the Infinity looks great, especially as it is so thin. Apple PowerBook G4 17inch battery

The Infinity TF700T would not be a Transformer Pad without a docking keyboard. This Asus model is bundled with a docking keyboard which will make typing easier, add more ports and increase the battery life. Deliveries without the bundled dock will be available in the middle of July. Apple iBook G4 14inch battery Asus has not announced any news about a 3G or LTE model.The Asus Transformer Pad TF300T was an experiment with a case made of composites. The Taiwanese manufacturer has reverted to aluminum and copies off of the Prime TF201 for this test model. Apple iBook G3 14inch battery

The new Asus top dog, the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T, uses the Asus ZEN design, which is made up of concentric circles inscribed on the aluminum surface. Our test model has the product code TF700T-1B130A and comes in amethyst-grey. The slight violet coloration is really nice on the 10.1 inch tablet. The test model neither looks too dull nor too gaudy. Apple PowerBook G4 12inch battery

The new iPad may be a slim tablet, but this Asus test model is ultra-slim. The technical specifications state a thickness of 8.5mm, making the tablet a pleasure to hold in the hand. The Asus device weighs 598 grams (~1.32lb.), which is not the lightest tablet in this category. Apple PowerBook G4 15inch Titanium battery

The workmanship of this review sample is impeccable. Asus maintains the high standard found in the Prime TF201. We found no flaws in the Infinity TF700T - no sharp edges or irregular gaps. Apple iBook G4 12inch battery The aluminum case is very sturdy and requires a lot of force to deform.The display is protected by the scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. Asus has installed the second generation of the scratch-resistant glass, which according to Corning, is far slimmer than its predecessor and just as robust. Apple iBook G3 12inch battery

The docking keyboard is bundled with out test model. This keyboard is made of aluminum and is the same color as the tablet. Apple PowerBook G4 15inch battery The circles of the ZEN design are not included. Thankfully, the workmanship is the same as that of the tablet. The keyboard weighs 538 grams, which brings the total weight of the docked tablet to about 1100 grams (~2.6lb.). This is similar to the weight of a light netbook. As the docking keyboard contains a second battery, the Asus Infinity should beat any netbook in terms of battery life. Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch battery

The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T runs on four cores like many other tablets nowadays. Apple MacBook 13 inch battery The tablet uses the Nvidia SoC Tegra 3. The tablet stands out thanks to the higher clock frequency of the processor : 1.7GHz (max while one core is running) and 1.6GHz (all four running). As all other models with Tegra 3 SoCs, the Asus Infinity has a fifth core which only kicks in for less-demanding tasks, so as to extend the battery life. The graphics chip with twelve processing cores is also a part of the SoC (System on a Chip). The RAM amounts to 1GB which is typical for tablets. Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch battery

High resolution is an exceptional feature for a 10.1 inch display. The 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution (16:10) of our test model is only surpassed by the ‘Retina display’ of the new iPad (2048 x 1536 pixels). Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch battery Asus speaks of a Full-HD resolution, which is not the same resolution as the normal Full-HD. Let us put it this way: the Asus panel displays more than the Full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is very promising and the icing on the cake is that the screen is a Super-IPS panel.The additional hardware in short: 64GB internal storage, microSD card of up to 32GB supported, an 8MP camera (back) and a 2MP camera (front). Apple Macbook Air 13 inch battery

Software
The Transformer Pad TF300T had already gotten on the Android 4.0 train. Apple 13 inch MacBook Air battery The Infinity TF700T continues this trend by running on the newest Google OS, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). As in the TF300T, our test model is running on the Minor-Release 4.0.3. This means that everything mentioned in the review of the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T about the Google OS and Apps is applicable to our test model. Fujitsu LifeBook S710 battery

Asus had already installed two cameras in the Transformer Pad TF300T (rear camera - 8MP with auto-focus). The "Infinity" is also equipped with two cameras, one on the back and one in the front, where, instead of a 1.2 MP sensor, the manufacturer has installed a 2MP camera. Fujitsu LifeBook S6311 battery

We believe Asus has used the same chip used in the TF300T for our review sample. The "Incredible Camera" has a lens of F2.2 specification which is supposedly very good even in poor lighting conditions. Fujitsu LifeBook S6310 battery The LED flash was not included in the TF300T , but it is on-board in the Asus Infinity TF700T. This was not a necessary addition. The performance of the flash is not discernible and makes the quality of pictures worse due to flash blowout lowering the quality of the images. Videos can be recorded in Full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels by the rear camera.The second camera is placed in the front (slightly to the right of center). The camera may not take very good pictures but it does perform well for video chatting. Fujitsu LifeBook S2210 battery

High MP numbers may look good on paper, but they aren’t the whole story. Small sensors installed in the tablets cause problems. The pictures usually lack sharpness and bright colors, which can get much worse in bad lighting conditions. Fujitsu LifeBook P8110 battery Asus hopes to counter these flaws by installing a rear camera module which can take good pictures even in bad lighting. They manage to do so – partially. The pictures are good enough to be snapshots. However, demanding photographers will want more sharpness and they will complain about the pale colors. As soon as the light drops, the picture quality drops. As such, Asus is not ahead of other tablet manufacturers when it comes to camera performance. The front camera is not suited for . Fujitsu LifeBook LH700 battery


The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T runs on four cores like many other tablets nowadays. The tablet uses the Nvidia SoC Tegra 3. The tablet stands out thanks to the higher clock frequency of the processor: 1.7GHz (max while one core is running) and 1.6GHz (all four running). Fujitsu LifeBook E8310 battery As all other models with Tegra 3 SoCs, the Asus Infinity has a fifth core which only kicks in for less-demanding tasks, so as to extend the battery life. The graphics chip with twelve processing cores is also a part of the SoC (System on a Chip). The RAM amounts to 1GB which is typical for tablets. Fujitsu LifeBook L1010 battery

High resolution is an exceptional feature for a 10.1 inch display. The 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution (16:10) of our test model is only surpassed by the ‘Retina display’ of the new iPad (2048 x 1536 pixels). Fujitsu FMV-S8250 battery Asus speaks of a Full-HD resolution, which is not the same resolutio n as the normal Full-HD. Let us put it this way: the Asus panel displays more than the Full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is very promising and the icing on the cake is that the screen is a Super-IPS panel. Fujitsu FMV-S8225 battery

The additional hardware in short: 64GB internal storage , microSD card of up to 32GB supported, an 8MP camera (back) and a 2MP camera (front). Fujitsu FMV-S8220 battery
New tablets should have an easy time in the connectivity test. However , many voices spoke out about the poor WLAN and GPS performance in the Asus Transformer Pad Prime TF201. This was indeed the case, as we found in a later test, that the metal case of the Prime TF201 strongly affected the signal. Fujitsu FMV-R8290 battery

Of course, we have taken our time testing the newest tablet from Asus as it also uses a metal case. Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO MG75U battery The Infinity test model did not have the GPS weakness found in the Prime TF201. In different places (from the countryside to the city and even in the forest), the GPS signal was always perfect. The accuracy was always within 10m. Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO MG75SN battery

The wireless hardware is identical to the recently tested Transformer Pad TF300T . The Infinity uses 802.11b/g/n WLAN (only 2.4GHz frequency) and Bluetooth 3.0. A version with a 3G module has not yet been announced by Asus. The TF300T is available with 3G and even LTE. Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO MG75S battery We will need to wait and see if Asus decides to add these features on their flagship model as well. Most users who purchase such an expensive tablet will want to have the freedom to choose. Fujitsu FMV-BIBLO MG70SN battery
