Its textured brown finish gives it a twist rather elegant. Fingerprints emerge, although less than some other models. It is compact and light enough. The design quality is average, some parts less resistant to pressure than others. The connector is standard with the notable absence of Firewire ports and ExpressCard. Left-handers are embarrassed by the arrangement of output video and audio ports. The keyboard has good size keys well spaced from each other and a bit noisy. It is rather firm. The multi-touch touchpad is good size but too eccentric to the left. Its buttons are functional. It is possible to disable it. The screen offers a resolution correct but may disappoint gamers. It is bright, though prone to glare and blacks seem more gray. In addition, while viewing angles are acceptable to the horizontal, they are narrow vertically.

The presence of technology Nvidia Optimus is a good point but unfortunately, its management depends on a lot of pilots. Some programs and games are not recognized and properly and can only run with the Intel GMA HD which is annoying. It is unfortunate that we do not have in Europe a hard drive as fast as that board. The audio is poor despite the presence of Altec Lansing speakers. It delivers good overall performance with 6717 points in PCMark Vantage. His score of 6893 points in 3DMark06 and 3191 points 3DMark Vantage. Windows 7 is its index of 4.3, the score corresponding to the graphics.

The sound level at idle is correct but the laptop is fully charged to hear. Temperatures are well contained with the exception of a point in the upper left heats. Its range is good because it wants to idle 6:26, 3:45 surfing the Internet with Wi-Fi enabled, 2:58 and 1:29 in DVD playback at full load.

Asus released a new laptop platform Intel Calpella versatile in format 17.3 inches with a processor Core Arrandale i3 and a dedicated ATI graphics card, the X72JK TY004V-under 950 $.

Normally, the facial recognition system via webcam SmartLogon and a software DVD player should be installed. The connection is broken on the left side with an air vent, 2 USB, card reader and optical drive and right attachment Kensington, the power connector, VGA, HDMI 2 USB ports and audio. The keyboard is a model chiclet flat black matte keys to well-spaced from each other and with a numeric keypad. Offset to the left, the multi-touch touchpad is integrated palm rest and accompanied by a chrome bar buttons.

Its design is simple but original with its textured brown finish found on the outside but also inside. The Asus-X72JK TY004V aimed at those seeking a versatile notebook for everyday use. Its dedicated graphics card Radeon Mobility HD5145 is capable of supporting games not too resource intensive 3D point when you adjust the level of details, see the resolution.  This is correct vertically with 900px height and relatively comfortable in the context of multiple use. Its 16:9 format lends itself well to playing videos.  The 4 GB of RAM and the Intel Core i3-350M provide for their part to ease operation in current use and multitasking. Finally, the storage space of 500GB is comfortable, classic with HDMI connector, Wi-Fi n and 4 USB, and its design features a brown finish original but sober.



We can now obtain the Asus X72JK-TY004V for less than 950 $, a price which positions in the low average in its class.

A new laptop targeting gamers appeared in the range of Asus Intel Calpella platform under the G73JH TY098V-format 17.3-inch with a Core i5-520M, a dedicated graphics card Radeon Mobility HD5870 as well as two hard drives Swift.

Mini-light system based on Linux Express Gate is now like the facial recognition system via webcam SmartLogon.

It also has Power4Gear eXtreme, a technology that adjusts the processor frequency depending on usage (4 modes available). Depending on circumstances, it is possible to see the autonomy extend 20% to 25%. On the left side found the Ethernet, USB, optical drive, another USB and audio ports, while the right side houses the power connector, VGA, HDMI, USB and the other 2 the card reader. The rear is devoid of any connection but is replaced by two large air vents for proper ventilation system. The touchpad, offset on the left, has two buttons. The backlit keyboard type chiclet has him flat keys well spaced from each other and a numeric keypad. It is tilted 5 degrees forward. This laptop is in sobriety unlike many models of players. We find the aggressive side of mobile gamers with a design based on a stealth plane and straight lines, but this black matte finish on the hull and interior.  For this price, it would indeed like to find a unit to enjoy Blu-ray media in high definition, a Full HD panel, a more powerful processor and a more substantial connection. The board is in fact very limited with the notable absence of e-SATA ports, Firewire or ExpressCard.



The screen displays a resolution 16:9 integrated comfortable for a versatile but less than full HD. However, it can be an asset in the game’s most resource-intensive 3D can then pass correctly native resolution. The dedicated graphics card Radeon Mobility HD5870, the most powerful moment in the sector of mobile computing, is a real plus, and even THE highlight this configuration that is targeted at gamers. Good point also on the side of the storage assigned to two swift hard drives of 500 GB at 7200 rpm with a total capacity of 1000GB (1TB), which should help make the system responsive. The 4 GB of RAM and the Intel Core i5-520M provide for their part to ease operation in current use and multitasking.  It’s still a shame to have to add about 500 $ compared to the Asus G73JH-TY009V to enjoy a package of accessories and faster hard disks offer greater storage capacity.

An incarnation of luxury? While boarding a professional edition of Windows Vista, S6FM adopts a look resolutely “trend” goes against the machines normally reserved for followers of commuting. To reach out to victims of fashion, “executive women” and elegant settings, accept the Asus S6FM in four colors: beige, brown, pink (limited edition) and white. Behind her seductive appearance, the S6FM contains a relatively robust configuration for a machine format 11 inches, with a dual processor Low Voltage heart, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and a screen with a resolution of 1 366 x 768.

Presentation
The outside cover and palm rest are the S6F leather-covered, white for the model used in our tests. Clear at once that the leather does not exempt you from handling the machine with a certain gentleness and the white is not the least messy colors. In other words, beware of black marks when you grab your laptop after a small meeting subway! A discreet chrome Asus logo strikes the upper surface, while the rest of the frame adopts a silver shade. By its appearance, differs radically S6FM ranges purely professional such as the Asus U1F.

BatteryMark v4.0.1
BatteryMark allow us to obtain an estimate of the autonomy of our three machines when they are powered by battery. This software simulates a relatively undemanding desktop use and returns results that correspond relatively well to the reality of professional work of the computers on the ground. In 3D gaming or DVD playback, the real autonomy of these machines would be below the figures below, expressed in minutes.

Noise
As part of an office use, our three machines can make themselves inconspicuous. Subjected to a more aggressive treatment, based Video Games or major treatment, they are nevertheless likely to reveal the full power of their fans. In terms of noise, the Lenovo 3000 V100 is probably the quietest of the three computers in this comparative study. The sound level of the latter remains almost constant even when running for several hours of software that can “stress” components.

To salute as it should be the arrival of the Pentium M 765 manufacturer Asus, best known for her it is true Motherboards, Graphics Cards and other, proposed today a new portable system features the latest evolution of Dothan. Although not so far set the standard in the world of mobility Asus is stepping up efforts for several months now to succeed in this very closed environment. It must be said that the Asian has arguments, and few would have predicted its emergence in this niche, at least so brilliantly.

Asus carol Dothan latest Intel Centrino laptop with a series M6N, the M6BNE which is the subject of this test. Modular portable this top-end model is intended both to work well as digital entertainment video playback or video games are very much in his strings as we shall see a little further.
Question Esthetic M6BNE is rather upscale with a dress and a charcoal silver casing that goes through the end of the beast. Beast accusing still carry some weight with some 3.3 kilograms on the meter (when equipped with two batteries) for large dimensions of 35x27cm and a thickness of about 4cm. You will understand the latest baby from Asus is not an ultra-portable, without falling into the category of desktop replacement, this is a laptop that we will qualify in its conventional measurements. Asus has chosen by a wide screen format, which when unfolded, reveals a double locking system hooks and the presence of two speakers located below the TFT panel, it is also topped by a silver Asus logo. The screen tilts over 180 ° and reveals, once opened, the presence of a keyboard containing about 89 keys translucent and surrounded by a broad based hands.

The manufacturer has decorated the surface rather monotonous, basting stickers representatives of various components present within the system and the strengths of the machine. Rest assured it is not my intention to describe the stickers on the system because I prefer to approach the issue of central touchpad that is here with three buttons: left click, right click and toggle button, replacing the usual roulette . From the point of view of comfort, the keyboard lacks a bit of momentum so that the noise emitted by the buttons of the touchpad is not very pleasant in contrast to click itself. However, these observations are very subjective and we should emphasize that the touchpad is accurate enough to be used in good conditions.



About diodes, we observe that the front of the mobile home to five LEDs, visible screen closed, indicating the status of the system. With the Asus software suite, for example it is possible to know when you receive emails, an LED lighting up on its own in this case. The left side edge of M6BNE contains various components including a set of four chrome multimedia keys to control playback of audio, mobile off. This is the Audio DJ feature that is activated using the push button located on the left edge of the laptop, so no button to adjust volume directly it is possible to adjust it using the key combination FN and F11/12. We also find that part of the system connector firewire, RJ45 connector, RJ11 connector, a reader for Secure Digital / MMC / Memory Stick / MS Pro, a infrared window, a single PCMCIA slot and two mini-audio jacks jack (microphone and headphones). At its other end, the mobile home just a MediaBay is hosting the DVD comes, the second battery is also supplied by Asus.
