Review Asus subnotebook P31F

Das sehr gradlinige und kantige Design sowieSony VGP-BPS8 Akku die einheitliche Bauhöhe von 2,8 Zentimetern lassen das Gerät eher unscheinbar wirken. Die Farbkombination aus silbernen und schwarzen Parts unterstreicht die Business-Ausrichtung und wirkt dennoch elegant und modern. Nachteil der schwarzen Flächen um die Tastatur und den Bildschirm ist der verwendete Hochglanzlack. Dieser zieht Fingerabdrücke, Kratzer Dell Inspiron E1505 Akku und Staub sichtbar an. Neben dem Gehäuse aus Kunststoff wertet der Displaydeckel aus Aluminium die Optik auf. Wirklich widerstandsfähig ist diese Oberfläche aber auch nicht und die ersten Kratzer sind nicht weit entfernt. Gerade im Bereich der Business-Geräte wäre ein rundum mattes sowie robustes Gehäuse wünschenswert.

 

Die Gehäusestabilität hinterlässt, bis auf wenige Stellen,Sony VGP-BPS9 Akku einen guten Eindruck. Die Tastatur und die Handballenauflage geben auch bei stärkerem Druck nicht nach. Der Bereich oberhalb der Tastatur wirkt im Vergleich deutlich instabiler. Durch die große Platte aus Aluminium lässt der Displaydeckel kaum Verwindungen zu. Bildstörungen oder eine Dell Latitude 131L Akku Wellenbildung lassen sich auch bei stärkerem Druck nicht provozieren. Getragen wird diese Konstruktion von zwei kleinen Displayscharnieren, die einen festen Halt in der gewünschten Position bieten. Ein leichtes Nachwippen bleibt als Kritikpunkt.

In this section, no wishes remain unsatisfied. In addition toSony VGP-BPS9/S Akku Gigabit Ethernet via a controller from Realtek and WLAN 802.11n (Atheros AR9285), the subnotebook also Bluetooth 3.0 + HS . This standard is used in almost all Smartphone Release. With a true business device may a UMTS module is not missing. In this case it is the model EM770W of Huawei. This supports HSDPA and HSUPA at up to 7.2 Mbps or 5.76 Mbps (3G UMTS ). Dell Vostro 1000 Akku The pre-installed 3G Connection Manager provides a convenient solution for connecting dar.

The packaging and the delivery has been compared toSony VGP-BPS9/B Akku the Asus U36JC not changed. In addition to numerous manuals, software and drivers DVD, the unit finds itself and the fitting 65 watt power supply with power cable and 8-cell battery in a box. As a small addition of Asus offers a cable tie with Velcro closure and a microfiber cleaning cloth.

When the software Asus is clearly more "generous" and installedSony VGP-BPS9A/B Akku numerous programs. In addition to the Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) operating system, see Office 2010 Starter, the usual test version of an anti-virus software, software from Asus, and numerous freeware. This excess can be explained partly as bloatware call, you should not uninstall if needed.

Asus granted a factory warranty of 24 months on the device, Dell Inspiron 1520 Akku which can be extended at extra cost. Two different packages are available. First, there is a 24 month laptop insurance, which covers most user-accidents (breakage, impact damage, liquid accidents, etc.), and the other an extension of the warranty period of 24 to 36 months. This service is priced at € 79 each Asus (EIA).

To the specific passages to Dell Inspiron 1521 Akku the keyboard and touchpad (Synaptics V7.4) we give in this review, because the combination used in the Asus U36JC is used. Only the structured surface of the touchpad in aluminum look is new, with the use not be altered significantly. Noticeable is the Synaptics preference to the internal pointing device is disabled when an external is connected. This behavior can be changed but within 30 seconds.

A business laptop must have a matte display, a glare-type would not go down well Dell Inspiron 1720 Akku with customers in terms of ergonomics. The screen of the P31F provides a diagonal of 33.8 centimeters (13.3 inches ) and the required smooth surface . The native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels is in the broad average, with high-quality business notebooks can offer COMPAQ 511 Akku even finer resolution ( Sony Z13 ). Via the integrated VGA - and HDMI interfaces can be external devices driven with a higher resolution. At a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels ( full HD , 1080p) could convince the image quality of both ports to an external monitor.

With the monitor Mavo by Gossen, we Dell Inspiron 1721 Akku have the panel of the AU Optronics Corporation under the designation AUO352C scrutinized. For lighting and a sleek design, the lid (6 millimeters) provide LEDs , whose brightness is unfortunately only in the midfield. At its peak, we were able to 193 cd / m² measured. Current Primus with 13.3 - inch display, the new Samsung 900X3A 9 Series The integrated panel offers an COMPAQ 610 Akku average of over 400 cd / m² and is to be evaluated positively, but extremely bright uniform illumination of the AUO panels in the Asus P31, which is a very good 96 percent.

Also the black level and the resulting contrast lie in the midfield and correspond Dell Vostro 1500 Akku to a standard display. The representation of pure black looks at a value of 1.14 cd / m² graying slightly and the maximum contrast ratio of 169:1 even reflected in outdoor use, see below for more. The color gamut can not match the sRGB color space reference with which COMPAQ 615 Akku the panel is only of limited use for professional photo and video editing is.

The shape and the matte screen, Dell Vostro 1700 Akku the Asus P31F predestined for outdoor use . This is also quite possible, with the average brightness and contrast in low light or direct sunlight reaching its limits. In a shady place to work is consistently possible. Another limitation is the glossy black screen frame. Depending on the light source of this relektiert relatively strong and can interfere with the operation. Unsophisticated business Dell XPS M1730 Akku devices without a style factor (high gloss) are a clear advantage.

The image representation along the horizontal axis remains stable up to HP COMPAQ 8200 Akku about 150 degrees, from color distortions remain, and the viewing of presentations, photos or films is possible even for several people without problems. In the vertical, it does not look so rosy. Even a slight change of the angle provides an invert or displaying the reference image.

The Asus P31F is currently available only inHP COMPAQ 8400 Akku the model variant RO108X, with a slightly older Intel Core i3-380M processor is equipped (Arrandale, HM55 chipset). This processing unit operates at a frequency of 2.533 GHz in two cores, and 3 MB L3 cache. Thanks Hyper Threading technology, two additional virtual cores are offered. Together with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD graphics that targeted Office application isHP COMPAQ 8500 Akku emphasized, while keeping power reserves even for simple multimedia applications. The Asus U36JC as consumer counterpart with an Intel Core i5-480M (dual-core, clock frequency: 2.666 GHz ) designed a bit more on the use of a multimedia notebook.

With a current notebook from Asus may own theHP COMPAQ 8510w Mobile Workstation Akku Super Hybrid Engine (software) not including power management Power4Gear missing. Depending on the usage profile, the processor will be a maximum of 2.833 GHz overclocked (High Performance) or to 898 MHz clock rate for the longest possible battery life guarantee (Battery Saving). Disturbing are long but the switching between power modes.For additional hardware features include a 2.5 - inch hard drive with 500 GB raw capacity, and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM-10600S. Instead of the usual frequency of 1066 MHz which is RAM HP COMPAQ nc8230 Akku accessed only with 667 MHz, thereby reducing power consumption. The replacement HP COMPAQ 8700 Akku of these components, as described above, if necessary completed quickly.

In our extensive benchmark suite, the confirmed performance at baseline ,HP COMPAQ 8710w Akku with no large multimedia or gaming ambitions. The pure CPU performance of the Intel Core i3-380M is with 8465 points in Cinebench R10 multi-threaded rendering (64-bit) in the lower half of our database. The performance boost of 300 MHz via the Super Hybrid Engine is the P31F-RO108X but good. This catapulted the subnotebook on the level of an Intel Core i5-460M and is thus on par with the Asus U36JC , but also offers a dedicated graphics.

Apart from the convincing performance inHP COMPAQ 8710w Mobile Workstation Akku office is the integrated Intel GMA HD graphics of P31F not for games . The result of 1399 points in 3DMark 06 confirms this assumption, which should be clear that this is not equivalent to the targeted application area.4.7Windows 7 Performance IndexProcessorCalculations per second6.9Memory ( RAM )Memory operations per second5.9GraphicDesktop performance for Windows Aero4.7Graphics (games)3D business and gaming graphics performance5.3HP COMPAQ 9400 Akku Primary hard diskData Transfer Rate5.5

The use of Asus Western Digital Scorpio Blue (Model: WD3200BEVT-80A0R) is HP COMPAQ nc8200 Akku a popular drive for entry-level devices. With a storage capacity of 320 GB hard drive that operates at 5400 revolutions per minute. Depending on the benchmark, the maximum read rate varies between 65 and 68 MB per second . Together with an access time of 18.8 SAMSUNG N150 Plus Akku milliseconds, gives an average performance. The exchange for a faster storage device (SSD) is to be done also for lay people within a few minutes.

In our forum was already discussing the Acer UM08A73 Akku operation noise and the allegedly constantly running fan. This is to the left under the keyboard, and remains on our test machine is idle (idle), but inactive . This is the noise we measured 31.1 to 32.4 dB (A) due to the noise of the used hard disk. Under load the fan jumps on to cool the components. With a level from 34.4 to 43.5 dB (A) now makes this subnotebook attention. Positive is a relatively nimble Abtouren the fan after successful cooling.

In idle mode, the measured values ​​lie on the surface consistently below 25 degrees Acer UM08A74 Akku Celsius and the case remains cool. With increasing stress in addition to the noise and the temperature rises in the housing. With a maximum of 38.8 degrees Celsius on the bottom of a significant warming is felt. The slightly protruding keys themselves remain cool under load. Acer UM08B71 Akku The heart of the sub-notebooks, the Intel Core i3-380M processor , achieved in the stress test a maximum of 89 degrees Celsius. In normal operation, the temperatures are much lower, however.


The first period of measurement tool called theAcer UM08B73 Akku Battery Eater Classic test and simulate the minimum battery life under load. This is an Open GL calculation at maximum brightness, activated WLAN adapter and power management disabled implemented. By the performance profile of the high performance processor is overclocked further, making a full charge after only 2 hours and 9 minutes is used up. In contrast stands the Reader's test with the lowest power settings. In addition to a low screen brightness and performance is CPU to shut down around 900 MHz (Power Profile: Battery Saving). Only after Acer UM08B72 Akku14 hours and 8 minutes are adopted and the device requires a power source. Thus exceeds the Asus P31F-RO108X even the most Netbooks, but offers better performance.

The golden mean is our measurement of "surfing over Wi-Fi" , which comes Acer UM08B74 Akku closest to the everyday use. At a comfortable brightness level in the upper third and balanced performance profile remain convincing eight hours and 53 minutes for working at your desk or on the road. Depending on use and use of the system hardware at these measurement times vary between 7 SAMSUNG N150P Akku and 10 good hours. With a second, optional battery pack in your luggage, longer trips are also no problem for the business-subnotebook.

The ASUS P31F-RO108X leaves Samsung R780 Akku a good impression on us, which is finally not be described as pure business device. Parts of the body with high gloss paint, some lack of resistance and the elimination of various security features and a docking port is more suited for designation Office subnotebook with useful features. Examples include the integrated UMTS module for mobile Internet access, large input devices and the matte SAMSUNG N150 Akku display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels .
