Review Acer Iconia Tab A500 Tablet/MID

Honeycomb Alternative! ( vgp-bps13b/s Battery ) Acer's tablet presence has so far been fairly restrained, but is beginning to gain more and more traction with every new model. The Iconia Tab A500 offers an Nvidia Tegra 250 multi-core CPU/GPU, 32 GB of memory, a high resolution WXGA display, ( ibm Thinkpad T61 Battery ) and the brand new Android 3.0 operating system. What can be expected from the slim 500 Euro device was tested by us.

As with the netbooks, ( Dell xps m1530 battery ) Acer appears to be approaching the booming market for tablets in a relatively casual manner. While several manufacturers have already experienced some flops with their quick releases, Acer has taken its time. This can actually only be good for the quality of the products, since this can provide for a good basis, whereby it is possible to learn from the mistakes of others. ( hp probook 4710s battery ) Since a few weeks there are now two new interesting devices in Acer's portfolio. The Iconia Tab W500, which runs Windows 7, AMD-Fusion, and an interesting docking concept. And the Iconia Tab A500 in our review, which despite of the similar name,( hp elitebook 8730p battery ) is equipped with an Nvidia Tegra 250 and runs the new Android 3.0, and thus ventures an entirely different way. Our tested model is currently available from about 490 Euros, and thus only lies a fraction below the RRP of 499 Euros.

Inaccurate manufacturingThe case of the Iconia Tab A500 has stylish similarities with the Iconia Tab W500. The aluminum look on the back, chrome colored operating buttons, and the large black display frame with the WXGA display.( hp Compaq CQ40 Battery ) The rigidity of the case is very good, the materials are solid, and the robustness of the surfaces is in line with the usual sensitive standard thanks to the glossy display. What's not so convincing is the precision of manufacturing. This may only become apparent when looking in detail, ( hp Compaq 8510W battery ) but the badly aligned components are certainly not beautiful.( HP 6545B Battery ) The iPad makes a generally high quality and robust impression in this case, thanks to the unibody case and the glass display surface.

The big advantage of our tested candidate compared to the previously tested W500, ( lenovo Thinkpad T60 Battery ) is the lighter weight of 750g, which is almost 200g less. Holding this without support is possible for a relatively long time,( ibm 40Y6795 ) whereby the lightness of the iPad 2 with 601g is not quite reached. The AC adapter is also very light with a further 120g, and can also be tucked away neatly thanks to the removable plug. More on the theme of cases can be read in our comparison of different tablets.

The available interfaces barely provide the standard sizes, but instead require micro-variants.( battery hp probook 4510s ) A regular USB 2.0 port is the exception to this. Otherwise there are Micro-USB (for connecting a hard drive to a PC for faster data transfer), ( battery HP Compaq 8510P ) Micro-HDMI, and a MicroSD card slot. Included in the delivery is merely a special USB cable, HDMI will have to be acquired separately.( battery Compaq CQ42 ) The important interfaces are located on the sides, and are easy to reach, with the exception of the Micro-SD slot with its fiddly cover. The latter of these appears to be more suitable for a permanent memory expansion in any case, ( battery vostro 1520 ) since the swapping of the small memory cards can become very fiddly due to the difficult to reach slots. The transfer of data is therefore better carried out via a cable or a USB stick. We were able to transfer pictures, videos, and music without problems using a USB stick, or data transfer cable from a PC and from an external hard drive. ( battery VGP-BPS13A/B ) Even videos could be played back directly from a USB stick. A simultaneous use of both of the USB ports is only possible with narrow USB cables, since the distance between the two is very close at 3 mm.

The big disadvantage of Android and iOs compared to Windows tablets,( battery sony VGP-BPS13 ) is the missing usability of common USB peripheral devices, such as DVB-T sticks, DVD drives, or UMTS sticks.( vgp-bps13/b battery ) In these cases it is either necessary to resort to expensive specialty solutions, such as for example Equinux` tizi DVB-T or WLAN hotspot for iOs, or to completely omit these options. What is also not exactly ideal is the long reaction time of 5s when switching on and off, ( battery sony VGP-BPS13 ) which is not possible with the usual short press. Changing this setting is also not possible.

For wireless communications there are WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR available.( sony vgp-bps13b/s battery ) An additional GPS module supports the usual locating services. Variants of the A500 with UMTS are currently not available,( battery vgp-bps13b/b ) however, should be offered soon as with the W500.

The Iconia Tab A500 has 2 cameras,( sony vgp-bps13s battery ) just like most smartphones and in the meantime also the iPad. One 2 MP front camera for video telephony, and one 5 MP camera with autofocus and flash on the back for taking pictures. ( battery vgp-bps13as ) A comprehensive evaluation with a comparison to the competition can be found in our tablet comparison test.

The accessories for the Iconia Tab A500 are easy to oversee.( apple a1185 battery ) These primarily include a docking station with a remote control (LC.DCK0A.001) for about 70 Euros, and a special protective case which functions as a holder (LC.BAG0A.011) for about 35 Euros. The docking station provides a charge function, ( hp 452057-001 ) as well as an audio output, and a remote control although this is a matter of preference.

The manufacturer's warranty lasts for 1 year, ( battery sony vgp-bps13a/s ) and can be extended via different bolt on packages. It is for example possible to extend the warranty to 3 years bring-in + 1 year international travel insurance for 79 Euros,( sony vgp-bps13/s battery ) and 3 years bring-in + 3 years accident cover + 3 years international travel insurance for 99 Euros.

Review Asus Transformer Eee Pad TF101 vs. Acer Iconia A500 vs. Motorola Xoom vs. Apple iPad 2

The big tablet comparison test. ( sony vgp-bps13b/s Battery ) The autocracy of Apple's iPad is slowly coming to an end. Meanwhile, there are a few vying products in retail or are waiting at the starting line for their launch.( Thinkpad T61 Battery ) We've looked at three strong iPad 2 opponents and call out the competition: Android 3.0 vs. Apple iOS. May the best pad win.

Apple iPad 2Apple ( Dell xps m1530 battery ) was able to consider itself on the safe side for over a year with its iPad 1 and polish its balance sheets with millions of sold tablets. Now the corresponding competition products of other manufacturers are available, or are about to be launched onto the market.( hp 4710s battery ) The most important development, which has likely contributed to the long dry spell is Android in its latest tablet version 3.0, aka Honeycomb. Only a few days ago the newest configuration level 3.1 was released for the Motorola Xoom. It is supposed to again eliminate a few shortcomings ( hp elitebook 8730p battery ) (USB connection) and also includes improvements in terms of speed.

In order to get an impression where the Android world currently stands in comparison to Apple's key player, the iPad 2,( Compaq CQ40 Battery ) we have ordered three of the latest 10 inch Android devices to our editorial office. ( Compaq 8510W battery ) The participants: The Motorola Xoom, the first (and most expensive) of its kind; the Acer Iconia A500, that is now available for consumers across the big pond after its first presentation last fall in New York; ( HP probook 6545B Battery ) and lastly the Asus Transformer Eee Pad TF101, a genuine Android tablet that can be transformed into a quasi notebook by an optional base.

In the following,( Thinkpad T60 Battery ) we will highlight the differences of the three Android tablets and compare them with Apple's iPad 2. The value for money aspect won't be left out since – rather untypical for Apple – it is impressive and still unrivaled at the top of the sales charts. ( ibm 40Y6795 )You can find detailed information about the single tablets in our existing dedicated tests (iPad 2), or in the reviews that soon will be released (Xoom, Eee Pad TF 101, Iconia A500).

two different designs.( battery hp 4510s ) The first differentiating feature is the shape, so also the case's looks. The iPad relies on a particularly slim chassis in this point. It can also score with a perfect workmanship and with an especially high-end material impression due to the aluminum unibody design. However, ( HP Compaq 8510P battery ) the device steps a bit out of line with its 4:3 format. And anyway, ( Compaq CQ42 Battery ) it's striking that the comparison devices all orientate themselves on the first iPad's thickness and almost equal it.

The Motorola Xoom proves to have the greatest likeness with the first iPad release. ( battery dell vostro 1520 ) Not only the thickness, but the aluminum back shell and the choice of color look as if they've been copied. ( VGP-BPS13A/B battery ) Even the corner edges seem to be almost identical when both devices are placed on top of each other. Nevertheless, the iPad 1 also remains to be slightly superior to the Xoom in terms of quality and the overall impression.

Acer also ( battery VGP-BPS13 ) relies on aluminum for the Iconia A500 – at least for the back cover. ( sony vgp-bps13/b battery ) However, a plastic rim is used for the skirt. While examining our test device's component joints we could see minor construction flaws in form of uneven gaps.

Finally, Asus and its Eee Tab TF101 step completely out of line. ( vgp-bps13b/s battery ) The tablet is the only one that has a plastic back shell. Thus, the Tab doesn't convey such a high quality impression as its colleagues, ( battery sony vgp-bps13b/b ) but it has a very pleasant haptic and should also be fairly scratch resistant due to the roughened texture. The bronze/brown combination with a black display bezel convinces in terms of color.( vgp-bps13s battery ) The circumferential edge that accommodates the given ports and buttons is likely made of aluminum, as well.

Overall, all devices have a high quality standard and only differ in detail here. ( sony vgp-bps13as battery ) The Xoom, as well as the Eee Pad allow image changes when moderate pressure is applied to the display. ( apple a1185 battery ) This wasn't observed on either the iPad or on the Acer Iconia. Cleaning the display with a microfiber cloth works just fast and easily on the iPad. Consequently, Apple's iPad 2 makes the best overall impression in this exercise.



The Acer Iconia A500 is the only tablet in our test series that has a standard USB port which allows connecting USB sticks or hard disks, for example.( hp 452057-001 ) However, we didn't manage to set up an according connection to the device in our first test. ( battery vgp-bps13a/s ) That could change with Android 3.1. The Iconia's array is completed by a micro HDMI port, headphone socket, micro USB, ( battery vgp-bps13/s ) docking port and MicroSD slot that is found behind a cover. The SIM slot for the 3G alternative is likely found here, too.

Buying a laptop is not just for walking into a store and choosing one

MSI has recently launched a new laptop P600 in a press release, touting-notebook 15,6 inch weighs only 2.41 kg and featuring about eight hours of vgp-bps8 Battery life, ideal for businessmen on the road. Add to corner business, the P600 includes a fingerprint scanner for added security. In other specifications, the notebook has an anti-glare LED display at 1366 × 768, the Intel Core processor I5, up to 4GB of DDR3, Intel GMA graphics HD, options for a 250, 320 or 500GB HDD, a card reader, camera output HDMI, a / b / g / n wireless, and 2-port USB 2.0.

Buying a laptop is not just for walking into a store and choosing one. It is a choice that suits your personal and financial needs. It was a real bummer to go home and discover that the computer is sold

you are a fake or not worth the price at vgp-bps9. To avoid these costly mistakes, there are things to look out for that will give you the opportunity to buy the right laptop not regretting your decision.

Sony (VGP-BPS2C) ’s VAIO E Series of laptops started again in early February and drew the attention of end users interested in a portable multimedia platform and whether the inclusion of two of Intel Core processors as well as ATI Mobility Radeon graphics for AMD HD 5000 Series. Now, it appears that the already diverse line was successful enough to justify the extension, with Sony unveiled a couple of new laptops, one measuring 14 inches and the other 17 inches.

To meet the needs of small and medium enterprises for both accessibility and productivity, the marketing Lenovo has what is known as the ThinkPad (IBM ThinkPad R40 Battery) current line of laptops Edge. These laptops are designed in such a way as to combine best performance and productivity features with stylish design. Now, after the ThinkPad Edge 13 had a favorable performance marketing, the PC maker announced that it was extending its product range with two new models, known as the ThinkPad Edge 14 and 15. These two new members representing the company’s intention to focus more attention on the market SMB.

Even for the netbook category, which promises greater IBM ThinkPad R50 Battery life than other sizes of laptops, the U160 has a high resistance. The six-cell battery lasted 8:37, while the average is 6:11. Other netbooks that come close, but not well-suited IBM ThinkPad R50e Battery life of U160 is the Asus A32-S6 l and dell inspiron 6400 battery accelerator Broadcom HD.

Under normal circumstances, the W510 is the heat and noise levels are quite moderate and low fan speeds and temperatures comfortable affair. When the system is sitting at or near idle, the fan cycles on the case and set down at a level near whisper. When the system is under pressure – as in the implementation of SPECviewperf for more than 15 minutes – temperature and noise levels have increased significantly.

Each system will be installed PassMark PerformanceTest 7,0 reference test suite, ran three times and average the results. The software tests the major components of the system, including processor, hard disk, inspiron 1525 battery, 2D and 3D graphics and memory. Section CPUMark is a collection of system performance in full, floating point, finding prime numbers, multimedia, compression, encryption, physical and string sorting.

Sony (VGP-BPS5) ’s Vaio laptops have a reputation for style and quality construction, and the new 14in Vaio E Series is a good example. It comes in a choice of colors and sturdy chassis really impressed us. For example the power button merges with the edge of the case – is an LED which is green if the laptop is orange when in standby mode, so even with the lid closed, you can view the status of your laptop .

Epoxy circuit board industry will peak in the shuffle(A)

Epoxy printed circuit board (PCB) welcomed the development of a new peak, the industry reshuffle is inevitable – China Epoxy Resin Industry Association experts have made such a gesture. The expert said that the world of electronic circuit industry, whether PCB Sony VGP-BPS8 Battery , CCL, or other related industries, from the second half of 2003 are beginning to have a complete recovery. The development of the entire electronic circuit industry, especially in China’s development, ushered in a new heights. China’s domestic demand and foreign industries, driven by the ongoing shift has been gradually formed PCB, CCL production value of the largest and most active center of technological development area. China PCB ushered in a new development opportunity, but the new level of competition will optimize the industry structure adjustment, to achieve industrial upgrading.

According to the World Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery Electronic Circuits Council WECC statistics. In epoxy resin printed circuit board (PCB) industry, in 2006, Japan accounted for approximately 11.7 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 4%; South Korea’s output of 5.7 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 5.7%; China’s output of 12.8 billion U.S. dollars (based on calculation of 1:7.80), Global output is expected to about 450 billion to 46 billion U.S. dollars, such a good momentum of growth will continue into 2007. PCB product structure from the world’s point of view, the next generation of electronic systems to the PCB requirements of outstanding performance in a more high-density technology. As vgp-bps9a/b,vgp-bps9/s,vgp-bps9/b electronic products, multi-functional machine, small, lightweight development, multilayer, flexible printed circuit board FPC, Rigid-flex board, HDI / BUM substrates, IC package substrates, etc. has become a demand for varieties Great product. In recent years, the technological development of the world’s PCB concentration reflected in the passive (ie, submerged or embedded) components PCB, optical technology, PCB and other new PCB product vgp bps2c, PCB ink-jet technology, and nano-materials in the application of pcb board and so on.

The world’s PCB industry characterized as follows: First, as the components of an integrated chip and IC BGA (ball grid array), CSP (Chip Scale Package) and MCM (multi-chip module) package of the increasing popularity of PCB terminals showing a package miniaturization, packaging development trend of high integration to meet the high-density assembly requirements; Second, with the optical interface technology, will appear in the PCB to achieve optical wiring, optical PCB technology, optical surface mount technology, and optical in-one modular technology (optical components and electrical parts in the same module combination of design techniques, installation techniques); 3, with the high-speed systems, PCB impedance matching has VGP-BPS2A become an important issue, according to Signal speed and routing of different length to require distortion to 10% or 5% or even below 3%; Fourth, to meet the CSP and Flip Chip Package (FC) development, need to use the lead with a hole inside (IVH) structure of the high – density PCB VGP-BPS12, but its high price limits its use, therefore need to continuously optimize the existing Build-up process, so that IVH structure for low-cost mass production PCB.
