Samsung-RF710

Statement of the desktop replacement is often used to describe the large and the laptop, which is likely to be in the pasta into a backpack for the Samsung RF710-in/check-out, but the legal position, the company is committed to provide many of the attributes of the tower PC.

What features of the desktop?
Getting started with 17 Samsung 3in, 16: 9 widescreen LCD monitor designed for practical work and entertainment in mind.

Some may be critical of your screen, 1600 x 900 native resolution maxing out, rather than going for 1920 × 1080 Full HD-to solve the State-of-the-art, but on the other hand, get a built-in Blu-ray player and HDMI port to "Blu-ray movies directly to TV in Full HD.

Simple appeal
At the same time, too, when so many other notebooks are going to the funky stylised decks and curves to make immediate impact, RF710, on the other hand, is surprisingly small. It is a simple glossy black cover with the Samsung logo.

The inside of the black keys, mounted in silver, gray, alongside the workspace of the surround sound. With the exception of a small smattering in front of the line and slim, the Internet and the power button above the keyboard indicator lights, this is the computer that has decided to avoid the ostentatious.

The portable computer outside of the show, four USB ports-two of which is the latest USB 3.0-the type, as well as VGA, Ethernet, two more audio inputs and the SD memory card really quiet place hidden in the introduction to the leading edge.

The keyboard layout is particularly impressive, using the large chiclet style, which is a much preferred these days with plenty of spacing between the keys on the numeric keypad and a full size on the right side. It is the dream of writing and the touch pad and mouse keys are equally determined and cooperative.

An Effective
Samsung is in such a way as to ensure that you have plenty of bonnet active using the quad core Intel Core 720QM CPU-17-1, 6 GHz, 1 GB of DDR3 memory, allied with the Nvidia GeForce GT 330 M graphics driver has arrived. Therefore, the Blu-ray movies are sharp and vivid color, and players can enjoy all the free image in the frequency of the stutter, the relatively low demand activity games such as Tomb Raider Underworld and through heavy actioners such as F.E.A.R. Call of Duty (Crysiskuten wait, even if the punishment is a little too).

If you are designing a creativity or the conclusion of the CAD, video editing, then don't need to know that the Samsung contains one but two 500 GB hard drives, each of which would be more than sufficient for most needs.

The duration of the battery has been slower than anticipated, it should be the main reason for the purchase price on this computer, you are fortunate to squeeze more than two hours away from this computer, even if it is not unusual, the laptop computer of this type, it is also intended to remain grounded most of the time.

Also, we hope to have a Look a bit below the RRP of £ 1,100 discounting Samsung could prove to be only a little too restrictive for dithering between the purchase price of all the desktop computer, or a Deputy member of the "desktop" such as RF710.

The unassuming exterior of Samsung RF710 processor is below, more than the "unsupported video adapter, and an impressive set of features that should have broad appeal-Tiger for as long as you're willing to pay the price tag of £ 1,100.

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe-Motherboard

Feature packed flagship P67 motherboard Sandy Bridge CPU (02/03/2011)

ASUS is the first to admit that Intel Socket 1156 processors was the engagement of its motherboards to start allowing competitors to GB and at the beginning of the MSI to get foothold in the market. Wanted to avoid a repeat performance of the newer Socket 1155 Sandy Bridge with chipsets, Asus has set up a comprehensive configuration including launch H67 and P67 boards P8P67-Deluxe, Executive Board, which is located close to the top of the hierarchy of Asus ', P67.

Intuitive options
Asus ' new H67 and P67 the boards, including the use of (this) the budget of the sibling of the micro-ATX-Deluxe features such as P8P67 ' efi'-Setup allows users to change the settings for using their mouse.

As well as a much more intuitive to use than text-based INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS) to boot faster, allows the EFI and it allows you to drive support, and greater than 2 terabytes. It also shows a much better and, finally, makes out the ugly DOS-style text, which has been adorning the BIOS menus after the beginning of the period.

Core specifications
The Prize amount is 200 € VAT according to the Government of a penny, this is far from Cheap, but all you would expect, including SLI and CrossFire support high-end features, State-of-the-art Gigabit network is double the controllers, FireWire and USB 3.0.

The Government has completed the manufacturer's now-familiar blue and black Livery, and is a very significant heat sinks the CPU voltage circuits. This use is the industry leader in the 16 + 2 stage digital power plan, which should help the Government achieve the results and add stability to the overclocking load.

P67, than most other boards with P8P67-Deluxe sports four memory slots, each of which hold 8 GB-HD DDR3 module. This gives the Board a total storage capacity of 32 GB; even more than the flagship X 58 platform. Users will also receive a comprehensive set of possibilities for the expansion of the three kokopitkä, two PCI Express x 1 slots and slot and two conventional PCI slots only.

Eight SATA storage can be attached to the transit traffic, four SATA 3Gbit/s is II-variety, with the remaining being 6Gbit/s compliant. This is particularly important for users who want to invest in the Sandy Bridge before the well-publicised P67 SATA II-a vulnerability has been corrected. You can attach all of the hard drives of four high-speed connectors, SATA II ports are on the low-intensity optical drive use.

Inputs and outputs
I/O-Panel move we find the plethora of connections. A total of 10 USB ports are provided (two of them have a high speed USB 3.0), two eSATA ports and one FireWire port. There is a PS2 legacy input devices and digital S/P DIF output; both flavors of the optical and Coaxial to correct.

Overjoyed to see the users of the Smartphone, Bluetooth is finally receiving the attention it deserves a different motherboard manufacturers and overclockers will welcome the clear CMOS jumper that without capital investments within the tripped. P8P67-Deluxe is easily one of the best Featured boards, of which we have seen, and these bells and whistles come at the practicability of the change.

In addition, the Asus Board itself is the normal bundle of manuals and CDs. Interesting is also the device 3.5in. This solves the helpfully move USB 3.0 ports on the front of the PC, even if we can't help, but I think Asus has been a trick by something other than a FireWire header, or the card reader is also a problem. This may sound picky, but this Government costs, the prize money!

Tweaks, overclockers
Capital investments into the EFI setup, it is good to see that Asus has not stopped completely for a period of one year, using the layout. Any of the normal Asus BIOS is used to feel at home and the opportunity to use the mouse and scroll the wheel options in our increased rapidly in the use of a luxury.

P8P67-Deluxe is overclocking the leviathan. We can manage to push the speed of the clock circuit 2600K 4.6 GHz, fully stable, using the Titan 1.5 CPU cooler-Evo, and we are sure we could go further in the cooling water or similarly exotic. You can improve the results of the examination in respect of travelling facilities as is without warranty of any kind, as well as the design of the INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS), even if the Car is too aggressive with the CPU supply voltage; you want to set that manually.

Performance of P8P67-Deluxe is one of the fastest on the market of the boards, P67 installation servers as the GB competition and only marginally behind the MSI P67A-GD65. However, the INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS) is better than both of these competing solutions are government properties.

When taken as a whole, it is difficult to be P8P67-Deluxe impressed. It is a feature-packed and fully provided for a Board that works impeccably our during testing. Cheaper tables are certainly available, but if you want to build a world-class Sandy Bridge-PC right now, some of the better alternatives.

Sapphire-Radeon HD6870 FleX Edition

Eyefinity easy. (04/03/2011)

The first card on the property of the Sapphire: n FleX AMD Eyefinity technology: Radeon HD5770 FleX went down a storm, when it was launched in mid-2010. It enabled users to create a three-screen Eyefinity setus, without having to buy the screen, which is specialized in the DisplayPort input or the use of expensive brick. Now, when the technology has been added to the new AMD Radeon series GPUs HD6000, Radeon HD6870 FleX Edition form.

Below the surface of the
HD6870 is a standard build of FleX HD6870, one of the ' Bart'-cores using Sapphire designed PCB and cooler to keep everything nice and stable.

Clock speed core and memory are as they reference design: 900 MHz core and 1120 Stream processors; 1,050 MHz (4.2 GHz-efficiency), 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, which is carried out by means of a 256-bit bus. Memory chips are the classification of the 1,250 MHz (5 GHz effective), so there are some of the Operational Reserve, the feeling of the need for a little bit of overclocking.

Keeping cool in a lot of this is one of the Sapphire has its own designed heatsink and combinations of the condenser, which uses three 8 mm heatpipes to transfer heat from the GPU heatsink aluminium fins. These are, in turn, are cooled at the 11-bladed fan.

Eye To Eye
Typically, if you want to build a three-screen Eyefinity installation, you need to use both DVI ports, and then an additional feed, the third monitor DisplayPort. This requires either a specific intervention on the DP of the display device (not exactly thick on the ground), or by using a third-party brick.

Sapphire was reserved for engineers has been beavering away in the EyeFinity technology and used by the output by using them to serve on the Board of Directors of the District of Analogix-you got rid of the need to use the display or the DP dongle FleX Edition.

Instead, it uses the card is used to provide the third screen of the output from the HDMI port. If you do not have a monitor that supports HDMI is not a problem, the Sapphire HDMI DVI ADAPTER card bundles.

If it happens to be on the top of the screen or dongle DP around then that allows you to turn on the fourth screen. Overall, the HD6780 FleX supports a maximum of five shows.

Framing is represented by negative numbers;
We are intended to give the HD6870 FleX Edition a good fitness program three 24in monitors, 5760 x 1200 would have a resolution test using. Unfortunately, one of the monitors wanted to play it, so we use the two panels on the left to cope with the FleX total number c(1998) 3840 x 1200 Edition. And it did so admirably.

FarCry 2, using the built-in benchmark against which to measure the small ranch map (all game information is set up for the extra and Ultra filtering) at 1920 x 1200, tested the card produced the frame rate 85.23 fps, which fell still playable 48.40 c(1998) 3840 x 1200 fps at 4xFSAA and added to the good measure 4xAscF. It was quite a lot of the same story, just cause 2 (the Dark Tower, a map): 59.89 fps at 1920 x 1200 and 35 38 fps at c(1998) 3840 x 1200.

Extras
The card comes with all the cables and hardware a hint: HDMI cable, passive Flex cable (HDMI to DVI converter), mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort converter standard-VGA-DVI adapter, and a CrossFire bridge.

The original HD5770 FleX was good. The last card to run the FleX name is better, thanks to the updated architecture HD6870. It performs very well, you can set up a three-screen Eyefinity system without DisplayPort monitor anywhere in sight-and oh ... is very, very quiet.

Hitachi GST Deskstar 7 K 3000 3TB (HDS723030ALA640)

Not surprisingly the colossal capacity 3 terabytes (3TB) which makes the Hitachi Deskstar 7 K 3000 unique. When all the company does not have produced the world's first 3TB hard disk drive-that honour goes to Samsung. And it is the world's first 3TB of internal 3.5in-the fact that the drive can thank the Western Digital.

Deskstar 7 K up to 3TB of 3000 to carry out on-the-sleeve is that it is the first drive of the latest Hitachi SATA 6Gbit/s interface, property, and the drum roll back the take it to the ACEs is the world's first 3TB drive capacity 7,200 RPM spin speed. This set it firmly on the ' performance ' at the camp, to match the price tag, even though it might not be as steep as you think.

What is inside the
Deskstar 7 K 3000 3TB boasts 64 MB cache: Western Digital's WD30EZRSDTL in the same amount-but the speed of the cache and the spin to leave the compound, as a result, in most tests, the floundering WD stonking.

Like most of the latest Deskstar 7 K 3000 stations 3TB used AFT (Advanced format Technology) "areal density" of the platters (disks), they can store more data per platter. The old old 512-byte sector size, instead of AFT using 4 KB sectors. 512 bytes, in the form of a lot of wasted space, and that was not effective. Remove the old legacy formats, AFT left gaps and so takes up less space to store the information in this context shall be subject to the same amount of higher areal.

The benefits obtained by the new format of the technology are larger and more powerful ECC (error correction code), the better to protect the data. 411 Gigabits per square inch areal density with the Deskstar 7 K 3000 gt 600 3TB uses five platters to reach its capacity (Western Digital's WD30EZRSDTL to use the four 750 GB platters)

Even if this is the first Hitachi drive, 6Gbit/s interface, it is not a reason to make a song and dance about when you can see that the 145 and 155 MB/s, as well as SATA 3Gbit/s within the spec drive sustained transfer rate quoted, Let alone SATA 6Gbit/s drives Only available at this time.that come close to the flood SATA 3Gbit/s of bandwidth are the SSD drives. However, when using the wide, that will help you when it comes to burst speed test.

How it performs
You'll see how fast fast fast spin speed, interface, and the combination of a large cache was, we are compared to the Deskstar 7 K 3000 3TB, WD HD Tach and: 3.0-CrystalDisk benchmarks using WD30EZRSDTL.

When it comes to burst speed test, Hitachi drive is light years from the WD SATA 6Gbit/s interface. HD Tach, we got the MB/s using the score 175 WD drive and a massive 330 from Hitachi. RAM test, had little to choose from (Hitachi 13.9, WD 13.1) is hardly a surprise, as they both are 64 MB buffer. Hitachi drive off the massive lead in the second pulled the average number of test and 143.8 MB/s compared to WD to make 59.89 MB/s.

When it comes to sequential read and write performance test for the Crystal Mark that resembles more closely to the real-world usage, the gap between the border posts. Produced by the figures of the 155 MB/s read and 154 MB/s write speeds for the Hitachi drives against the working paper of 130 MB/s read and 102 MB/s write.

But it is not all good news.
When using the Deskstar 7 K 3000 things get a little cumbersome to 3TB-especially if you want to use the startup volume. Apple and Linux users: you can read the next bit is not needed, you can use to start the drive, or for storing the information without delay. Windows XP, skip the next bit, but too the3 completely different reason, the system does not support this high point of the stations.

But the other problem is that Windows users, so the OS handled over 19TB of 2 drives in..
For the drive to the motherboard, you will need the original boot UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) input/output system (BIOS) to get the rare but more general than the one of the things which are to support the Intel Sandy Bridge processors. You also need the 64-bit OS (Vista or Windows 7) that create and use a good old GPT partitions in the MBR (Master Boot Record), rather than created. You must use the same GUID partition table (GPT) partitions, if you want to use all of the 2.79TB the formatted capacity of the data drive, although access to the data drive, you need to be 64-bit OS just one GPT support.

Western Digital was around these issues, that the tying AHCI compatible host bus adapter (HBA) in the drive. Some of the Hitachi does not fit.

If you have the hardware and OS support, then the Deskstar 7 K 3000 is a stunningly fast drive 3TB of enormous capacity but spend could buy three 1TB drives and install them on a RAID array.

Canon-PIXMA MG5250

UK VAT rate, as we all know, has grown to 20%-and that made all of us much more careful when buying electrical goods. One area that seems to be nearly impervious to the money market up and downs, however, the humble printer and slightly-less-humble multifunction printer (MFP).

We have recently reviewed Canon PIXMA MG5150 all-in-one, and were astonished to find that so much could be achieved by the incredibly low price of £ 74. You now have we got in our hands, that's big sister, PIXMA MG5250, which is the subject of significant changes and additions, and yet the current network, the sales prices of the hover button still around £ 100-mark.

The Family Resemblance
Outwardly there is little to distinguish the two models. Glossy piano black exterior and compact dimensions (455x368x160mm) are similar, even if the MG5250 is a little heavier 8.1 kg. It is at the same time, two of the inputs on the rear of the paper tray, 150 sheets and in front of the tray (which is still a little hard to separate) has the same capacity. Automatic tray will remain neatly folded only when you want to start printing.

MG5250-control system is also unchanged, the 5150 4in hinge-mounted 2. (that is, unfortunately, still less than a 45-degree angle, the tendency to flop), the LCD monitor and a clear, large and well-labelled collection of the command buttons to the allied round (and sometimes over-sensitive) check-call. The power button on the front of the below is concealing the three slots for memory (for CompactFlash, SD and Memory Stick) Panel and below is the USB Flash memory and use PictBridge camera input.

Wireless connection
The main difference between MG5250 and MG5150 is the Wi-Fi connections that are configured with the software and the disk of the computer through the USB port on the back. Direct disk printing is other useful exporter and the unit, who carry out this part of the very well hidden in the print area on the roof. You still have before ink tanks for the transport of dangerous goods, as well as five individual automatic duplex of the port facility, although this is not one of the properties of the MG5250 quickly.

The Performance Of The
Scanner speeds are roughly the same as the MG5150, approximately 17 seconds-but the maximum resolution is doubled, which provides much 2400x4800dpi better quality images.

The quality of the print, the standard black text documents was on average about 11 ppm Image quality slightly faster 14 ppm. However, the quality of the text of the draft is thin, and the weedy and even the standard quality is more than sufficient.

If the shine, while the PIXMA MG5250, the photo title. In our tests, the A4 prints and copies of the picture has emerged of lightning 45 seconds and 10x15cm standard go only 17 seconds. Photos by MG5150, it was standard practice to lose heavily in detail and saturation, but not this-we noticed either little loss of vividness and colors, and overall, the stability and integrity of the contrast in the black this MFP produced by all of the photos on kataluuden are abnormally high.

If you are happy to pay an extra £ 30 or so, PIXMA MG5250 improve the cheaper sibling, by adding the wireless connections and direct printing, while at the same time also the disk to speed up the process to print the photo quality is excellent, but the black text documents enter the party.
