ASUS S1 Laptop Review
In this notebook the ASUS standard design technique - pointed angles - not so pronounced, although to call it "round" the language still does not turn. Overall - nice on the eye model. The magnesium alloy has a nice color, however, to scratch it I have not tried it.The design of the keyboard and touchpad, I prefer other models of Apple a1175, for example, the T9400 . However, it is a matter of taste. Designers wanted to make the plastic buttons and touchpad surface, put a translucent keyboard - have the right, but I think I was losing the unity of style.
Legend Press quickly launch applications for ASUS traditionally difficult to read, but problems at work is not created. The extreme right - the energy saving mode selection button, about her.Standard for notebook ASUS is a hardware reset button availability. Button, and more precisely - the hole is located on the bottom of the Dell inspiron 9300 battery. To press, however, need something ...
... such as pens or paper clips, but the main thing - it can be done in principle.Single speaker is located to the same bottom, it is unlikely to satisfy lovers of good sound.
The system bus - 133 MHz, memory usage - PC133 SDRAM. Available in three versions - without integrated graphics and with two types of integrated graphics controllers. Modification of the 830M is used in the test notebook , includes a more "advanced" graphics. A characteristic feature of Dell inspiron 1545 battery chipset is the use of Dynamic Video Memory Technology, which allows you to change the amount of memory allocated for the graphics controller, depending on the task.
Despite its small size, to work with a laptop is convenient enough. This is exactly the case when the writing is not particularly what - nothing is annoying. In our sample, however, present a "broken" blue pixel, but it was noticeable only at boot time - on a black background. About your AiBox been discussed in the review model T9400 , so I will not be repeated.To switch the power button is located above the Dell xps m1210 battery. When pressed, the mode changes cyclically, with the on-screen icon is shown briefly engaged the regime.
About warranty takzhepodrobno discussed in the review of ASUS T9400 . Here we briefly repeat. The warranty for all ASUS notebooks in February 2002 - 2 years. Comforting fact - on ASUS notebooks valid international warranty. That means you can buy a Compaq presario c500 battery in Europe and honestly use the warranty. However, in this case for repairs, please contact the service center "Topaz-2M", located in Moscow. If the laptop was bought in Russia, its warranty service is carried out in other cities. Full list of service centers can be found at the company Nexus . Online support is fast and on the merits.
Of course, as a gaming machine using a Dell inspiron 6000 battery is problematic, and it is not necessary. The rest - another good product from ASUS - present performance, and style - it purely subjective. And finally - the price. The base configuration - Pentium III-M 1.06 GHz, 128MV/15.0 GB, CD ROM 24X - the company Nexus costs $ 1395, has been tested - $ 2105. Personally, I would have opted for the base configuration, perhaps by replacing the CD on the DVD (+ $ 80), if there is a collection of movies that you want to watch the road.
