ASUS Zenbook UX21

With few small exceptions, ASUS is highly recommended with excellent performance with Zenbook UX21 layout. ASUS is most comfortable and good looking PC notebook I have ever come across. Owing to its brushed stainless steel surface, it stands out a lot more than a MacBook Air some time. Zenbook UX21 is little more tastefully and elegant than Apple’s design.


One way or another, UX21 is undoubtedly marvelous and one of the things that you really want to have. The Zenbook’s chassis is fully covered with stainless steel. Chassis is built with a small aluminum block and is drafted out by using a CNC mill. The resultant chassis is quite stiff and exempt from any observable stretch.


It does not mean that Ultrabook is not cohesive at all. Actually, the best definition of ASUS’ first Ultrabook can be described in a single word; i.e.,”impressive”. The main body to the chassis is arranged in a vertical brushed pattern where as the display lid is brushed in a circular pattern with two different colors. Main body is featured with platinum silver color and display screen is decorated with darker aluminum color.

Graphics

The display lid is quite rigid and can be held up perpendicularly to the ground without having the hinge under the force of gravity. You can move the hinge as you like by picking it up and shaking the UX21 little bit, but still it is pretty inflexible causing resistant to the unintended movements. UX21 won’t help you if you are crazy of playing latest first person shooter game with modern graphics during your train journey.

Performance

The Zenbook PC notebook has a little bit more accurate estimate of its standby battery time. ASUS keep monitoring the usage of battery even if you put your Zenbook UX21 to sleep. Thus, it gives you accurate estimate of remaining battery capacity as the basis of this power usage and standby time. Since the power also depends partly on memory you have in it that’s why an estimate of battery capacity is significantly improved and accurate. You will have an advantage of having trailing estimate, which tells you how long your battery will go if you want to do the same as you did previously before putting it to sleep.


Although I have heard the noise from the fan when it spins up but the chassis never got as hotter as that creates some uncomfortable situation. It has both flashy and functional effects. The two downward speakers of UX21 produce decent and smooth audio together.

Acer Aspire S5 Review

Acer Aspire S5 Review and Specification

Acer has announced its Aspire S5 with lovely brushed metal lid and the interior seems just as good as the outside. The base and palm rest sense as rock-solid and it seems quite immune to the fingertips. When you held it in one hand and really wrested control on your S5, there will not any hint of flex or bend, so it can be hoped to build quality in general. It is also noticeable that whittled down the base – something, which should be obvious while picking it up for the primarily, or even glance at pictures of it.

Now, here is where Acer has not learned from the prior follies. S5’s keys have the similar scratchy feeling as the S3 or even the novel mid-ranged Timeline Ultra machines. Moreover, they are shallow. There is a bit gap here -- so small that you might sense your hands edgy as you focus on punching buttons hard so that your strikes register. We also have noticed that major keys remain sadly undersized, while the “Enter key” is adequately sized.
So here you have it. Acer announced it as Thunderbolt that means this should be the Ivy Bridge. That is about all we could say in the good conscience, at the moment. The Aspire S5 will launch shipping in the July-August of this year, though price is not announced yet.

Graphics

Acer Aspire S3 will be available with 13.3 inch display as a common format for notebooks. The benefit of this display size is that the notebook can get small measurement and can be handy. The small display requires few energy that improves the battery life and in consequence the efficiency. The drawback is that the evaluation of texts is quite exhausting for your eyes, particularly along high resolutions. S5 have a bigger design as well as features, which befit typical laptops, together with the optical-drive and the enthusiastic graphics.

Performance

Aspire S5 supports Acer's latest cloud-based Always-Connect-Technology, just as Apple's iCloud; which lets you run data even when the notebook is asleep. The S5 will be woken up through any smartphone, and will be able to immediately log into the social network accounts and email. Clear.fi Media, Clear.fi Photo, and AcerCloud Docs are the main services that perform same integrated ecosystem jobs for videos, photos, documents and music. Moreover, it will have the fast 1.5 seconds wake from sleep capability, Acer Green Instant On.
S5 will be the world's thinnest 15mm notebook with black brushed-metal and magnesium-alloy, weighing only 1.35kg. It is equipped with Thunderbolt technology, having 20Gbps speeds with HDMI ports and USB 3.0— all are located below the Acer S5's hinge, and may be accessed by punching Acer's MagicFlip key. The computer is powered by an Intel Core processor (though Acer didn't reveal which one), has SSD storage, uses Dolby Home Theater audio, and has a PowerSmart battery pack that Acer says will have a lifecycle three times longer than normal batteries.

Specification

S5 is equipped with 320 GB of Hard disk, 4 GB RAM, 13.3 inch display, VGA webcam, Intel core processor with SSD internal storage. The featured ports-- USB 3.0, HDMI, and Thunderbolt--are hidden through a MagicFlip door. Other features are a chiclet keyboard, a PowerSmart battery pack that provides three times longer battery life and Dolby Home Theater v4.
