• Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is a computer that falls somewhere between the segments, mini-computer ( netbook ) and ordinary laptop. It is an ultraportable laptop in a stylish form that is easy to take with them, but bigger than a mini computer.

    The Lenovo IdeaPad U350 I have test driven the Windows 7 installed instead of Windows Vista, which would otherwise have been the operating system that U350, which usually comes with. Now that Windows 7 is launched, I think it is better to run with it.

    The appearance of the IdeaPad U350 looks different than what we're used to in terms affixed,. This is really a matter of taste, but I like the design. The lid is glossy black with embossed pattern, and the keyboard is surrounded by brushed metal. It is both stylish and practical, because it makes your computer more resistant - metal will not bend like plastic can do.

    Snygg design

    After I test drove the computer I looked up what other reviewers thought of looking and it has really separated themselves properly. Datormagazin sawn appearance quite whereas C | Net raised it to the skies. It certainly proves how subjective reviews are.

    U350 is a very light machine and it weighs just over 1.6 kilograms. For the thickest, the computer is 2.5 inches. The screen is in 16:9 format at 13.3 inches, and offers a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The keyboard is nice to write on and the trackpad is no objection. A third mouse had to be desired, though there are not many laptops that have it.

    Since this is an ultraportable PC, Lenovo has opted to compromise away the optical drive. Thus, there is no CD / DVD in your computer. Some users will of course miss the point, but I personally do not remember when I last used my optical drive in addition to installing Windows 7. It can of course get an external unit that connects via USB.

    Good with HDMI for movies

    If we look at the ports that are offered, there are three USB ports, audio in and out, card reader, network port, VGA connector and HDMI port. The latter I think is appreciated. I tried to connect the computer to my TV and it went quickly and smoothly. In Windows 7, I configured the TV as extended viewing area, and then chose the sound settings in Control Panel to use the TV as a sound device. Then it was just to pull off a movie in Windows Media Player on the expanded screen space.

    Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Strömsnål den användas Intel ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor som. Jag hade på 1.3 GHz testmaskinen Internminnet vid kop kan välja, och hade min modell 3 GB minne. Harddisk kommer med upp till 500 GB lagringsutrymme.

    Can also be mentioned that the IdeaPad U350 has a wireless network with support for 802.11.b/g/n and Bluetooth. The wireless network card thought I had good reception when it was just a bit better connectivity than most other notebooks I've tested on my wireless router.

    The performance is not cool

    So how does the computer in their everyday work? As expected, I can say. With a ULV processor and graphics chips Intel (Mobile GMA 4500), you can not expect to be able to run some heavy games like. It flows so well for better than a mini computer, and I have not experienced the U350 has a dull computer when I used it normally. To play the movie went as I said, smoothly.

    The screen I give thumbs up to. I like the 16:9 format and high-glossy LED screenhas good color and perfectly okay sting. The viewing angle is like that. When I was sitting high and looking diagonally down the screen brightness right was hard. Quite looking straight at the screen to get the best picture.

    You can get IdeaPad U350 with battery at either 4 or 8 cells. The former gives you up to five hours of battery life, while the 8-celliga battery will support up to ten hours. In practice, the time somewhat less than that, especially if you use the wireless LAN and Bluetooth.

    Should I add up the computer, I think it's been a nice friendship. IdeaPad U350 is a sleek and smooth ultraportable that has worked fine. It's not a monster machine, but it is directed against those who primarily use your computer to run Microsoft Office, surf, send e-mail and do everyday things.

    Lenovo IdeaPad U350 is the time of writing, a price tag of more than 6300 crowns as PriceSpy. Below, they see the daily price information.

  • PCOnline has become the first Swedish newspaper received test the new Asus Eee PC Box B204 . There is a small media PC that falls to us the taste, but that does not fit for all users.

    Asus Eee PC Box B204 is one of the new models in the Box series of increasingly growing Asus Eee PC segment. This is in contrast to the more famous portable mini-computers, a small desktop computer. With the B204 takes Asus PC into the living room, much because its only connection to the screen is via an HDMI connector .

    The foundation reminds Box B204 lot of portable mini-computers. The computer is small and nicely designed, has an Intel Atom processor and 1 GB of internal memory.There are wireless networks with support for 802.11n and Ethernet with 10/100/1000 Mbps and Bluetooth. The storage space consists of a 160 GB hard drive. One difference is that you have chosen to put a real graphics card, an ATI Radeon HD 3450 256 MB . It needed to deliver full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

    The package comes with an HDMI cable, power adapter, converter from audio-out to S / PDIF, a hearty and good remote control and table stand and a metal structure to mount the computer on the back of your flat screen TV.

    For installation you need to have mouse and keyboard can be connected via USB. As usual, Asus has opted for Windows XP SP3 as an operating system , which I think is a good choice. Running Vista on a newer Intel Atom processor and 1 GB of internal memory is not a hit ...

    The benefits of Box B204

    What I personally think is best with the B204 is the fact that it is running just Windows XP. It will start up in XP and there are no restrictions of any kind. Many other competing media players use their own software, which often are limited and can not handle all file formats. But here, you have the opportunity to customize your system exactly the way you want.

    Asus ships with a media player called the Eee PC Cinema . The check via the remote control and interface is so hot and easy to handle. But as with all other media players, there are problems with unsupported file formats. Most cope safely with the Cinema, but you have higher requirements, you can get another player. Just download and install.

    The computer is almost dead silent and it looks really great when it is together with color-matched Panasonic plasma TV. All drivers and things worked without any problems, so the entire installation process was painless. The first time I boot up the Windows task bar had gone out of the picture, which was very annoying - until I saw the tool Eee PC Screen Settings , which was located on the desktop, and as adjusted image positioning.

    That there are four USB ports, I also think about. Then you can plug in a USB flash drive, external hard drive and the IR receiver for remote control and a radio transmitter to a multimedia keyboard. For example.

    Disadvantages of Box B204

    The computer running Windows XP is as big a disadvantage as an advantage - it all depends on the type of user you are. I like the ability to customize the system by itself. It is not all do. Are you looking for a media player that can quickly boot right into one easy to use interface where you can kick off the movies that you put on your hard disk, so is Box B204 is not for you.

    According to the specifications that were previously sent out by Asus, it would be a DVI port on your computer. It does not. HDMI is the only connection that exists, which is a disadvantage because few monitors have it. Some users want to attach a small monitor to his media computer, having along with flat screen TV, but it is not possible.

    Correction: See comments from the readers attention below. There are HDMI to DVI converter, and with such, you can connect to the monitor without any problems.

    Like most other Eee PC Box B204 lacks an optical drive , then CD / DVD reader.As a media PC, this is a disadvantage. One would like to throw out their DVD players and just have the computer, but it is not possible without having to add an external reader. Nor is there any TV tuner.

    I also found a problem with the software Cinema, and it was that I did not manage to link the files and folders from any device other than the internal hard drive. It was annoying because I would like to play movies and music that is on my network drive.To access these files through the Windows of course, was not a problem because the computer nicely connect to my wireless network. So with another media player solves the problem itself.

    Verdict of the Eee PC Box B204

    As I wrote in the preamble of the Asus Eee PC Box B204 is not an option for everyone. That I am aware of. However, signed-target and I really liked this little machine. It is a media PC that offers many opportunities, but at the cost of it is not suitable for the novice user who wants something easy. Again, it is Windows XP that will start when computer starts up, and it opens up many opportunities but it also means that you need to fix some himself before it works as you want.

    Update: The Eee Cinema , according to Asus the following specifications:

    Photo:. Jpg, png,. Bmp
