Asus Transformer Eee Pad TF101 vs Acer Iconia A500 Netbook Review

There are two new low cost tablets that just hit the stores recently. These Honeycomb powered tablets are the Iconia Tab A500 from Acer and the Transformer TF101 from ASUS. One glitch that you could find almost immediately is that they seem to be twins. It is hard to tell them apart. On the surface, they have similarities such as the screen size. Both are 10.1 inches capacitive screens with 1280×800 pixel resolution. Both run on the NVIDIA Tegra processor. Both tablets offer both 16GB and 32 GB memory options. There are also micro SD slots for extra 32 GB. In other aspects, they are all too similar. A notable difference would be the Transformer’s more brilliant screen that shows better white and black colors. This is thanks to the IPS LCD screen used by ASUS for this tablet. The viewing angles are similar to those of an iPad. Transformer has a wider viewing angle at about 178 degrees, compared to 160 degrees of Acer Iconia.
news Asus Transformer Eee Pad TF101 vs. Acer Iconia A500 2011
The Transformer is slightly wider compared to Iconia. Of course, there is also the keyboard dock for the ASUS tab. When it comes to battery life, it seems like ASUS was on a roll. It beats Iconia in battery life with is 9.5 hours which is 1.5 hours longer compared to Iconia which is not bad at all. However, it does not stop there since if you include the keyboard dock with its own battery and that means it can extend up to 16 hours, defeating Iconia and more than that, defeating the iPad 2.

For those who are inspired by mere looks, Transformer offers a good grip and is quite light. The back has a nice texture to it, you can say it feels very high end. Transformer also did some significant changes on the Honeycomb OS and now it adds some customizations so that you can improve the functionality of the Honeycomb OS. If you need more connectivity, Iconia has a lot to offer. There is Micro USB synching. There is a dock connector, USB Hosting compatibility with MicroHDMI and MicroSD as well as a charging socket. When it comes to multimedia experience and browsing, since the specs are all too similar, they are head to head on this aspect. ASUS is not yet finished with its baffling features. It has a 5MP camera located at the back and on front, a 2MP camera.

ASUS has a clear winner with its transformer. It is quite on the pricey side and with the keyboard dock; it is $50 more expensive than iPad 2. Nonetheless, it is a very powerful device and it seems very robust, well designed and the keyboard dock makes it all the more functional. The Iconia is left behind at some aspects but it is still a pretty decent tablet for your web browsing and app utilization aspects. It does not hurt though that the Transformer is really nice looking. It is still too early to say if Transformer will be able to snatch some audience from iPad 2 but nonetheless, it is a really nice product and it is worth the money.

ASUS 1101HA REVIEW


The Asus Eee PC 1101HA is the latest entrant to the Eee PC family of netbooks. With its relatively larger screen the 1101HA is essentially an enlarged version of the Asus Eee PC 1005HA.

Specifications of the laptop under review
Operating system: Genuine Windows XP
Processor: Intel Atom Z520 Processor 1.33GHz (can be overclocked to 1.74GHz)
Memory: 1GB DDR2 SDRAM (667MHz)
Storage: 160GB 5400 rpm SATA HDD plus 10GB Eee Online Storage
Display: 11.6-inch diagonal WSVGA (1366x768)
Graphics: Intel GMA 500
Price as configured: $429.99

Build and Design

The Asus Eee PC line of netbooks are known for their simple styling, solid build quality and budget prices. The Eee PC 1101HA is no different. Build quality is excellent. The bottom of the netbook provides an easy access panel for the memory.

Screen and Speakers
The 11-inch LED backlit display features 1366x768 pixels. The glossy screen offers good color and contrast. On the flip side the glossy surface can make glare and reflections a problem while working in a bright setting. Horizontal viewing angles are good, but vertical viewing angles could have been better.

Speaker performance is a lack-lustre. Headphones are a must if you want to listen to music on this device.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The 1101HA has a nearly full-size keyboard. But the keys are still slightly smaller than the keys you would find on an average notebook. Also, there isn’t much spacing between the keys, so you may accidentally hit the wrong key. Still the keyboard on this netbook is perfectly usable.

The touchpad is a Synaptics model. It allows multi-touch controls such as pinching or pulling. The touchpad surface is covered in dots which clearly marks the edges of the touchpad. There is no separation between the left and right buttons so you may accidentally hit the middle of the touchpad button. Another drawback is that the buttons provide extremely shallow feedback so may have difficulty figuring out whether you actually pressed the button or not.

Input and Output Ports
Port layout is similar to the one found on 1005HA. There are 3 USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet port, VGA out port, a 4-in-1 card reader, headphone and microphone jacks. Other features include Broadcom 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR and 1.3 megapixel webcam.

Asus has included the Eee Docking software on this PC which provides easy access to utilities, software and digital content.

Performance
The 1101HA might look bigger and better than the 1005HA, but in fact it is equipped with a slightly slower Intel Atom Z520 processor running at 1.33GHz. Most netbooks feature N280 or N270 Atom processor running at 1.6GHz or faster. So is 1101HA slower than other Eee PC netbooks? Well, yes and no. The Z520 atom processor takes longer to open applications in Windows, but it is still capable of running every software other netbooks can run.

Asus has included a proprietary overclocking application on 1101HA. This application allows you to maximize battery life by underclocking the processor and improve performance by overclocking it by roughly 30%. The integrated Intel graphics can handle Power Point presentations and DVD quality movies. But 720p and 1080p video playback is way beyond its capacity.

Heat and Noise
Heat and noise levels are normal. The 1101HA is very lap friendly.

Battery
Asus claims that the 1101HA will provide up to 11 hours of battery life. While that is a bit of exaggeration, you should be able to get around 9 hours if you run the machine at the standard clock speed of 1.33GHz. Note that overclocking will reduce the battery life.

Pros:
Solid build quality
Good screen
Can be easily overclocked

Cons:
Weak graphics
Slower processor that needs to be overclocked

ASUS M50VM B2 REVIEW

ASUS M50VM – Build with the intent of sending-off Desktops

Asus M50Vm-B2

The ASUS M50VM is a well-built 15.4-inch desktop replacement laptop relied on the newest Intel Centrino 2 platform. The M50VM is calculated for multimedia aficionados and gamers. It traits a influential Core 2 Duo processor, 500GB hard drive, and an NVidia Geforce video card with a monstrous 1GB of memory.

Design
The M50VM has an inconspicuous gaze - it will not revolve many heads when viewed from a expanse. ASUS pursues the lustrous trend like the rest of the conventional market. The palm rest area and the back of the lid encompass a stripy imprint design, which seems thorough. The back of the exhibit has the identical striped intend.

Performance
The M50VM-B2 is a physically powerful performer gratitude to its commanding components. ASUS comprises a diversity of utilities with the M50VM. The only genuine "bloat ware" is Norton Antivirus, although 30 days of defense is incorporated at no arraign. All benchmarks were completed with the NVidia 177.72 video card drivers.

The M50VM is obtainable with numerous dissimilar resolutions. Our M50VM-B2 evaluation unit has a 15.4" WSXGA+ exhibit with a lustrous finish. The exhibit has immaculate picture superiority - it is unbelievably clear and brilliant. Contrast is outstanding with uncontaminated whites and deep blacks.

Heat is pulled away of the laptop all through a huge vent on the left side of the laptop. Under full load, the fan is hard to hear, and at inactive, it is hushed for all sensible purposes. The M50VMs keyboard is simple and pleasurable to type on. It is calm and proffers rock-hard tangible criticism. It is trouble-free to sense your way around this keyboard. There is a clue of flex in the region of the upper left side, but it is not obvious.

A 6-cell battery is customary; it is 11.1V, and 4800mAh. With the display dimmed and while surfing the Internet, I calculated 2:30 in power saving mode. This apparatus is not calculated for extensive trips away from the plug, but 2:30 out of a desktop replacement is highly regarded.

Overall
The ASUS M50VM is an imposing laptop in more ways than one. Physically powerful overall presentation and a unbelievable exhibit make this a champion among gamers and multimedia aficionados. Supplementary high points comprise outstanding warranty treatment, an enormous collection of input/output ports, grand input devices, and an exceptional thermal design.

Pros
+ Dazzling WSXGA+ display
+ Strapping performance
+ Rock-hard build quality
+ Enormous input devices
+ Great price for this configuration

Cons
- Bigger than a normal 15.4-inch laptop
- Mislaid committed Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys
