New Gadget 2011

Because trying to please the gamer, Asus tries coming perfect in the sound side. To generate surprise sound sensation, GS1 has speaker in left side, right, and under the notebook. This configuration successfully makes sound produced is powerfull enough, though still felt lack of bass touch. While for picture quality, can be said G1S is one of the best. Its viewing angle is wide in horizontal and vertical side, so the colour and sharpness remain to be great if seen from various sides.

For G1S feature, this notebook must reside in the upper line. Its optic peripheral already HD-DVD, and equipped with HDMI audio-video connector. Other unique feature and we have never meets in other notebook is external SATA (eSATA) connector. eSATA theoretically can stream the data until 300MB/second, so can become interesting alternative if you frequently did back-up to external harddisk.

One bad side of this notebook is the location of USB port. Fourth port is placed in backside, rather complicates to use though USB flash disc is routine activity that is often we do. This Notebook has weight 3,1 kgs, so don’t hope can bring it travels comfortably.

This notebook looks so classy. Usage of shiny black carbon fiber makes it impressed gallant. Moreover Asus cleverly combine it with light green colour (as at button and panel rear camera), makes this notebook seen more stylish. The smooth gleam surfaces is nor too susceptible of fingerprint, so seen clean though do we often touch it. We also like the keyboard, mainly because every buttonis separate in big distance and felt deep.

Though addressed as gaming notebook, Asus GS1 basically is compatible for all man who is wishing class notebook. Not only from performance side, but Asus GS1 is also seen stylish from appearance side. Moreover the feature figured can be said complete, starts from HDMI, eSATA, until HD-DVD; a feature combination which we have never meets in other notebook. That explains why the price reachs $ 2099.

So if it compared to 14,1 inchs notebook from other brand, BenQ S41 seen defeated.

In general the usage test of this notebook is satisfies. Big size keyboard and deep felt when depressed makes typing process felt comfort.

Both screen is related one another. When you wish to access photo file, song, and video, the phone will command screen switchover. And so do when you want to organize data and documents in big screen, phone will ask switchover to small screen.

This switchover controlled by a small shift knob in handset side. This mini knob is also functioning as key pad lock.

This two screen model is also adopted by SGH F300 which labeled Ultra Music. Both are the variant from Ultra series which had entered the market since past year-end.

Because called as Ultra Video, video is one of the special features in this handset. SGH F500 has adopted DivX file player, a kind of codec which able to compress long video duration to be small size, but its visual quality still great.

Other unique feature of this 10,7 milimeters width phone is its double battery. First battery is built-in in handset, while second battery is tidy in the skin case form which able to uses and released.

Keypad part to operate the small screen is having same colour with handset body and accompanied by navigation buttons, cancel button, caller ID, end call, and Internet shortcut button.

While for keypad to operate wider screen is uses the combination of touch technology and vertical and horizontal sweep for its navigation.

Both keypads are back each other at one form which able to be split and having axis at one point in corner (swivel design). Its purpose as a prop so the phone remains to standing when put down in flat place when looking on video.

In handset sides part equipped with volume buttons, battery charge and handsfree port, camera shutter, and camcoder, besides screen switchover knob.

But, even unique and attractive, this cellphone still have weak point. One of them is the first 1,5 inch screen. This LCD Screen is too small to accomodate various menus. Except photo access, song, and video, all SGH F500 function of course is focused in the mini screen.

When typing call number which presented in the form of writing pen animation in color screen may become plus point. But, if playing game feature, ouch, your eye can hurts, because its undersize display. Articles in this game feature also must be seen with magnifying glass. This mini screen also becomes separate spraging when accessing the Internet.
