and power consumption. Moreover, the stability is improved ( especially in Vista) and extends the feature set . Drivers can be found mostly on the sides of the notebook manufacturer , but there rarely are ready the latest versions. Go directly to the better producers of individual components.

To find out the exact name of components, there is the Freeware SIW. Below the main driver candidates at a glance with a short description of the update utility : * Chipset: This driver is responsible for accessing memory and drives , and can therefore raise the performance of the system significantly. Which manufacturer to you is blocked , you will see in SIW under Hardware / Motherboard / North Bridge,and so on .

The price is much more expensive in the middle of cheap netbook computer competition among other multinational brands cause Fujitsu will need to find different forms of design and technology to remain a class of products as well as to reflect the lifestyle of its users

Fujitsu also realize advantages are miniaturization which combines the features of the futuristic hardware. The result, products in this category UH900 LifeBook series weighs just 500 grams to be the lightest notebook.

Can be traced from its name if this product is set as a downgraded version of the A600. However, the design aspect remains a mainstay of Lenovo. This time they gave the face of attraction with classical motifs frame.

Class differences with the “brother” immediately apparent when we looked in the hardware specifications. To suppress the price, Lenovo uses Intel’s Atom processor. But instead of using a type of N270 or N280 is actually intended for the netbook, C300 carrying a targeted N330 Intel for nettop. Naturally, if the performance was quite rushed C300 compared to other PC at AiO level. Especially if you just used for standard computing activities.

Shown with 20-inch screen, C300 is well suited to satisfy the users of the multimedia side. The availability of an internal DVD drive into an advantage compared to C300 class competitors who generally only provide an external optical device.

But when tested, the ability to play HD video files, not as smooth as the way of hope. In some sections, the resulting picture somewhat broken. It does not matter if the play is a standard multimedia files such as AVI, WMV, and MP4.

Intrigued with its 3D performance, we played the game Doom 3 with the C300. The result? It turned out pretty good. Much more smoothly than when playing HD video.

hp-envyIn the age of information communication technology today, there are various terms to attract consumers. There are laptops, notebooks, netbooks, and there are also computers. Actually it is a computer, and the difference is a function, design, and price.

Simultaneously, on the side of consumers and computer manufacturers with a variety of terminology, we see there is another aspect to be considered and seductive anyone who saw it. These aspects include the artistic side, as well as technologically superior.

Like Kind of car with a Lamborghini or a Ferrari engine design and superior artistic abilities tested by the speed, the computer with a different terminology is also in common with a luxury car, a futuristic design, and price frowned.

In the computer industry, many computer models that appear to follow this aspect. Apple Computer with the iMac or MacBook Pro is one example. Acer with a series of bright-red Ferrari and seductive design design is another example.

Minimalist

Hewlett-Packard (HP), the largest producer of computer technology in the world, such as do not want left behind after all this time lost in pursuit of market share constantly driven to compete with other global brands. So far, HP is like pushing a box to the consumer computer, does not present a significant difference for most consumers.

But this time, there was something different. When Compass tried Envy15 HP’s latest products, notebooks with 15-inch monitor (38.1 cm diagonal) and weighing about 2.5 kg without power supply, the United States was the company that produces various types of computer technology is able to provide the following significant differences in progress information communication technology.

Envy15 into the desktop replacement category and become HP’s most expensive so far. The design was minimalist, reflects the value of elegance, and technological forces that want to will find the Intel Core i7 Q820 computing speed 1.73 GHz, 8 GB memory capacity, operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit graphics processor ATI Radeon HD 4830, and the PA Beats sound that brings the luxury sound systems to notebook category.

All the HP specifications indicate Envy15 underdog quality. This reflects that HP is the largest producer in the world of technology. We would like the minimalist design with a carved lid monitor using laser technology. We would like cavities collected in bringing unity USB, HDMI, and LAN.

We also would like to structure the wide keyboard, mouse control of a futuristic wide touchpad, the on / off, and marker lights hidden above the keyboard. Envy15 minimal value was shown without the presence of various stickers, such as a notebook that had been offered in the market, ranging from Intel Inside, stickers specifications, and others seemed unsure of himself.

Envy15 is at the same class as MacBook Pro notebook made by Apple, but more sophisticated and luxurious while still placing the optical disc DVD player as an extra connection or not integrated into one. Packaging reflect Envy15 magnesium alloy luxury.

In performance, Envy15 clearly has an unmatched advantage thanks to the processor and memory size has. HP latest notebook has an extremely fast performance than existing in the market. There is only one constraint, which the engine is very hot
