Axioo Zetta MNS 2222


This is about Axioo Zetta MNS 2222, Zetta MNS is first Axioo notebook that uses independent graphics card. Although graphics cards are entry-level class, its performance is quite adequate for the middle-class game. And if compared to a reference notebook Toshiba Satellite M300, Zetta performance look a bit more superior.


Unfortunately, this notebook does not support the hybrid graphics system such as the BenQ Joybook S43. Just enough to remind, hybrid graphics allows the notebook graphics card selected as needed. If you want performance, use a notebook graphics card independent. However, if you do not need 3D and want to save Battery, can use the onboard graphics card. Hybrid graphics is one of the features that can be offered Centrino 2, but does not seem to be adopted by Axioo. Although we choose the Power saver Power menu Options, the graphics card GeForce 9300 remain active.

From the facilities, complex notebook was likely in the connection-based network. This can be seen from the existence of the HDMI port (to connect audio / video high definition) and eSATA (for high speed data connection) that is on the left side of the notebook. However, the existence of the two connection be contagious this port S-Video and FireWire are usually there. We also recorded the USB port only two (usually 3) port and a modem dial-up shift back. And for a wireless connection, Axioo provide WiFi b / g / n and Bluetooth as a.

On the keyboard area of 30×11 cm, Zetta embed the key 87, including the navigation keys (Home, End, Page Up, Page Down). Primary key of 19×19 mm wide and feel soft when pressed, that we do not reach the speed of the difficulties our standard.But there were complaints certain that we address in the comfort of notebook weight is 2.4 kg. The first is the touchpad which is not slippery and Texturized, which feels responsive less. In addition, the volume and brightness levels through FN key does not have the indicator on the screen, so we mustsuppose estimate whether the volume or brightness level is reached the minimum / maximum.

Axioo as the best product at this time, Zetta MNS 2222 is not disappointing. Good performance also looks okay. The advantages that we note is that the capacity harddisknya reach 320GB. The price is around $ 1240 million also includes competitive, although the notes without the operating system. In short, Zetta MNS 2222 is the right choice if you find a good notebook with a price.

Sahitel SP703, Komputer LCD


If you see a glimpse, Sahitel SP703 does not look more than just a normal LCD monitor. However, behind the LCD panel was hidden a complete set of PC wrapped by casing with thick 4.5 cm.In case there are components with specifications PC Dual Core T2370 processor 1.73 GHz, 2GB Memory DDR2 (dual channel), and a 120GB IDE hard drive. Do not forget to include a DVD-RW which is located on the side. Simply install the mouse and keyboard, then this product will be a LCD PC which is very practical. In addition to lightweight (4.5 kg), also sparing space and economical electricity that is only about 40 watts.

And for display, gadgets SP703 using the LCD monitor 17 “with integrated stereo speakers on the front. Therefore, the speaker output voice is more powerful than the sound of the notebook in general. For connectivity, SP703 also complete with LAN connection, the 4 port USB, card reader 4-in-1 (SD / MMC, MemoryStick / Pro), D-sub port for external monitor, audio ports and 3.5 “in the withdrawal PC. Be thought-thinking, LCD PC is so similar to the notebook as well.
if seen from the features, Sahitel SP703 has a clear advantage in terms of mobility (easily taken away) as well as space and power sparingly. You can also upgrade some components such as PC, for the main CPU, memory, and disk (with the override factor warranty of course).
However, this tiny PC also has some weaknesses, such as the point of view of the LCD is low (so difficult to see when the eye is not perpendicular to the screen). Facilities display settings also very minimal because it only provides a level brigthnes change without any manual configuration options further.

LG Cookie: A touchscreen handset at a budget price

Touchscreen handsets have been around for quite some time. We have seen smartphones that can be operated using a stylus or our fingertips. However, the likes of iPhones, Nokia 5800, Nokia N97 (launched during last year's Nokia World) and Sony-Ericsson Xperia introduced a different kind of touchscreen experience.

In the past, LG had brought a couple of touchscreen cell phones, such as the KE850 Prada and KU990 Viewty. However, these are cellphones with virtual buttons. The buttons are placed in fixed location and we can rarely move them around, add them or hide them. By today's definition, touchscreen means that our cell phones can be customized to match our preference using the so-called widgets.

Widgets are part of the user interface. It can be a dialogue box, a button, a pop-up window, a pull-down menu, a window, a list of options, an icon, a menu bar or a form. It allows the user to interact with certain application or the operating system. These are not the static icons of the past. Widgets can also refer to the programs themselves.

Widget-based touchscreen cell phones still cost a lot. Sony-Ericsson Xperia, for example, still sells for almost Rp 8 million, while Nokia 5800 can be had for more than Rp 4 million.
LG tries to fill the space below these much touted touchscreen phones with its LG KP500 Cookie. LG has a reason to give its handset models names such as Chocolate and Cookie.
"Our research has shown that users feel closer to their handsets if the name is something that is related to what they enjoy consuming," said John Halim, Product Manager, LG Mobile Indonesia.
What is special about Cookie? At a glance, it looks like most other LG handsets. However, this has a widget-based touchscreen. It is smaller than Viewty but larger than LG Prada. It feels lightweight, too, because a lot of the casing is made of lighter material. Like LG Prada, it has only three hardware buttons below the screen - one for making the call, one for invoking the main menu and one for ending the call. The last one also serves as the power button.

The screen size is 3 inches, which provides plenty of space. The internal memory is 48 MB, but Cookie has an external slot for a MicroSD card. We can boost the memory up to 8 GB, which I think highly unnecessary. Like many of the more expensive cell phones, the LG Cookie has an accelerometer, too. If the screen is cluttered after you move the widgets around, just shake the device and everything will be neatly aligned. The stylus can be used for handwriting, too.
I was unable to test the handwriting capability because my handwriting is one of the least illegible in the world - my wife will tell you that. I especially like the virtual QWERTY keyboard for sending text messages. We need to hold the device in the landscape position to make it appear on the screen. The accelerometer can be used to play the games, too.

Because of the emphasis on affordability, LG Mobile had to cut some corners. First, although this is a quad-band GSM and 2.5G cellphone, it does not support 3G, let alone 3.5G. It does not have Wi-Fi capability, either. The 3.2 MP camera does not have autofocus or a flash, so there is not much to talk about in this area.

But if you want a cell phone that will keep you occupied for a long time trying out to customize the screens, the LG Cookie is a decent cell phone that you can buy without having to skip your lunches for one year.
