The Dell XPS 15 notebook is a powerful notebook from its premise, far from being an “ultra portable”, the 15-inch laptop with a thickness of 38.2 mm at its thickest point and 32 mm in general no doubt many now consider the notebook of 2.78 kilograms heavier. His great success is to offer so many configuration options and a great performance. The machine discussed in this review is a Core i7 2720QM processor 2.2 GHz with 8 GB of RAM.

As for the design on behalf of a powerful Dell hardware design a large and very robust housing. It is mixed in plastic and aluminum components with a good result visually pleasing. Even though this equipment is usually heavier than the XPS 15 does not reach uncomfortable when moving it. Clearly, if we compare it with a new team of 13 inches without doubt that the Dell notebook is quite heavy. Even if the computer is nice the notebook adopts some exquisite in their design solutions.

The keyboard is comfortable for your hand but if we look closely has some lapses on completion. Such characters are painted with a color that reflects too much. For people with larger hands may have to be at least a few months to adjust. In terms of the touchpad is spacious and flexible device enabling precise and fluid command. A serious problem I think is the location of the entrances to the headphones and audio output which are poorly positioned.

Let’s talk about the most important thing is undoubtedly the product’s performance, the options offered by Dell and dramatically impact the performance of the Dell XPS 15 are models of processors, graphics card and RAM. As for users who have more money the interesting solid-state drives are more than welcome. All options are Core i7 processors, the difference between processors is much smaller, meanwhile they all offer the same number of cores, hyper threading and 6 MB of L3 cache.

As for the graphics card have a Nvidia GeForce GT 540M which provides 2 GB of RAM, the system is very interesting and efficient applications “serious.” The resolution of the model is Dell XPS 15 Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels and can display natively board videos on Blu-ray without any difficulty. The GT 540M also allows the display of three-dimensional video to compatible devices.

In a final conclusion the advantages of this model we have for example a termination, a performance above average and excellent sound from the subwoofer account. As cons have a hard disk that could be higher, a video card that could also be higher and we have some design options that complicate the user’s life. The Dell XPS 15 is targeted for those who demand high performance hardware and a strong team also wants to set aside your desktop.

Acer finally officially revealed the new Iconia Tab A200 with the operating system Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Acer was the name happened to be the company Multitech in 1976 when it was founded by Stan Shih Chinese wife and others. Currently the company is headquartered in Taiwan and is now the second largest computer maker in the world.

Acer finally revealed during this last week its new tablet model, called the Acer Iconia Tab A200. With a 10.1-inch screen and a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels the new device finally hit the market with Google Android operating system in its newest version called Ice Cream Sandwich. The new Acer Iconia Tab A200 has a great processor 1.2 GHz dual core Nvidia Tegra 2, the model is already being made with the Android OS 3.2 Honeycomb.

However, according to the manufacturer Acer tablet will update this Ice Cream Sandwich to the month of January. According to the manufacturer’s model for market entry and comes to offer a large portion of resources for a lower price. Among the various hardware resources for example we have a USB 2.0 port where we can connect the keyboard, mouse, joystick, pendrive and others that can be very useful thanks to the arrival of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Acer Iconia Tab A200 has a 2.0 megapixel webcam dedicated for video calls. The tablet also has a slot for microSD memory cards and there are two options for internal storage space of 8 and 16 GB. Even if the operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is available only for the month of January 2012 Honeycomb version of the tablet is still interesting.

Acer Ring interface brings a very interesting concept of user interaction on the screen that escapes a bit from the conventional market. Acer claims that the battery in the new Acer A200 Iconia Tab gives us the setting for up to eight hours of continuous use viewing videos. The price of the new tablet is undoubtedly the most attractive model for as little as $ 299 will have this product.

We have already tested a lot of “adult” netbooks, that is, with enough capacity for everyday needs, a full and capacious hard drive, a screen with a resolution of no worse than most of its larger neighbors in the lineup. Apparently, we have another model in its class. Given that it has relatively more capacious battery, and must show a good result, and in traditionally problematic for the “powerful netbooks” test of battery life.

Design apart from the competition feature of the loop cap. It does not reach the trailing edge about an inch, but was called about the same angle as that of most other modern laptops: that is not full, and about 145 degrees. Color covers, in addition to holdover testing options may also be black, red and lilac-pink unusual. And inside the laptop nothing special in the design is no different.

A panel with plastic touchpad, just painted, metallic, and a special scratch resistant coating can not boast. The frame around the screen matte, well, the screen itself – glossy, like the vast majority of models in its class. Assembled laptop carefully enough, the gaps between the panels of a minimum and uniform. Very unusual to see on the back of the compact notebook any connectors. But why not, once the lid does not cover the rear panel when you open?

Developers did not use the opportunity to place on the empty place on the side of more connectors, so they set the standard. However, shifted towards the rear panel connectors for headphones and microphone deserve a positive mention. No cables will not interfere with you to carry your mouse on the table, in any case, if you are right handed.

Keys are pressed gently and almost noiselessly, the course is short, so that after a desktop keyboard adjustment period is necessary. I liked the location of the cursor keys. Although they are reduced in size and occupy a single row, but does not prevent printing of the text, they are almost impossible to accidentally press. But the key in the top row of function keys might be a bit wider. From the top because nothing prevents, and these keys in laptops is still more demand than on desktop keyboards.

Testing was conducted in the program Mobile Mark 2007, simulating active in office Software, and the profile energy corresponds to the high performance and battery put in a simple reduced at 30% screen brightness constantly running hard drive and wireless adapters are included. Test the latest laptops on the duration of battery life for a long time have to run in the morning or as a maximum in the afternoon, or shut down system only late at night.
