Samsung QX411-W01 Review

There are many laptops in aluminum, but the QX411-W01 has found a place among the elite. The gun metal finish design and color is even more attractive because of its small size of the QX411, which measures only one inch thick. Aluminum has the same feeling you get from even the 13-inch MacBook Pro. A solidly built metal frame also means that 5.1 pounds, is slightly heavier than its plastic counterparts, such as the Sony VAIO PCV-EG16FM ($ 829.99 list, 4 stars)-Dell Inspiron i14RN4110 7616DBK (649, the list $ 99, 3 stars), both 4.9 pounds.

Would not it be glass layer, 14-inch wide screen would have looked the same-U46E BAL5 Asus and Sony VPC-EG16FM. Glass layer gives the system a cleaner look and makes photographs and videos, pop. It will feature more common in laptops such as HP Premium 14-1210NR Envy and MacBook Pro 13 inch. Chiclet keyboard is full size and it looks as if it shoots out of an aluminum frame. It offers a solid experience in writing. ClickPad is a different story.

-Click touchpad works beautifully on the Apple 13-inch (Thunderbolt), but returned against all other laptops before. The good news is that some of them get better, starting with Samsung QX411-W01. He swapped the Elan brand ClickPad seen in earlier Samsung laptops QX series to a Synaptics, tempering some of the erratic cursor movement and Moody multitouch gestures that plagued its predecessors. It is far from a perfect navigation experience, however. Sometimes left click merges with the right control and multi-touch gestures can be hit or miss. I found that pressing ClickPad or click with one finger is the best way to navigate.

Features

Unlike the previous iteration, the Samsung S02, QX411, QX411-W01 Wireless screen in the second iteration, or simply, Widi 2.0. Not only the family of streaming shows slides or PowerPoint presentations wirelessly to HDTV, but now supports 1080p streaming (the previous version of the Widi was only 720p) and the protected content (think of the movie on DVD). However, you need to buy Netgear Push2TV receiver (optional $ 99 for Best Buy), which is always connected to your HDTV. Another feature of this laptop, WiMAX is often referred to as 4G wireless. It covers the entire city, as opposed to a Wi-Fi, which covers the short range. Throughput ranges from 3 to 8 Mbps, which is as fast as many home DSL packages. Best of all, the pricing plans are cheaper than most Internet packets, and do not have a dongle hanging off and the USB port.

There are no Blu-ray player, just a DVD burner, the VAIO EG16FM include in its price setting. Three ports (two USB and HDMI) is hidden behind a cover and implanted port with the USB 3.0 technology (10 times faster than USB 2.0). So I get a cover port offers an extra layer of protection, it is difficult to draw from to get to these ports. The third USB port is uncovered, and the one I used most frequently. The laptop is equipped with a disk of 750 GB 5400 rpm drive. The speakers are just above the keyboard and its better than U46E-BAL and EG16FM.

Best Buy also has an extended warranty program, which adds one year to one year standard warranty offered by most manufacturers. There are two plans in this extended warranty program. The standard diet ($ 119.99) covers the system against wear and tear, power surge damage, and includes a "No Lemon" Guarantee Purchase, where just replace the computer if you need more repairs during the four coverage period. POINT Best Buy ($ 219.99) offers all this and the system also covers accidental damage from falls and spills. Other special offers can be found online or in stores such as discounts on printers, software and technical support plans are available on any PC consumers new products purchased through Best Buy.

Performance

QX411-QX411 Samsung W01The sport-W01 Sandy Bridge Intel technologies. The 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2410M processor is faster and is current on the Asus and Sony EG16FM U46E-BAL5. As such, easily handbrake (1:59) and Cinebench R11.5 (2.56) tests, which was almost as fast as the Asus U46E (1:53 handbrake on Cinebench 2.59) and EG16FM Sony (2:05 to brake, Cinebench 2.6 in). It (2163) fell slightly behind the Asus U46E-BAL5 (2215) in PCMark 7, an indicator of overall performance, but the difference is negligible in the real world. It is fast enough to handle any photo editing suite, including the most demanding, Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS5 mark 4:10 in our test.

The QX411-W01 also has two graphics chips, a processor (integrated) and Nvidia GeForce 520M GT graphics card. The Nvidia graphics chipset has presented a significant increase in gaming performance, but at low resolution. With all the quality settings up, however, could not handle games like Crysis (5.5 fps) and Lost Planet 2 (12.5 fps). Results of games BAL5-U46E Asus, which runs on integrated graphics just were not much worse.

The laptop is equipped with Nvidia graphics technology automatically switchable. This means that when the dedicated GPU is idle or the system is not connected, the laptop back on an Intel integrated graphics. This is a boon for QX411-W01, as the battery is sealed 60WH (if you can not go with a backup battery). The laptop lasted 8 hours and 48 minutes, the best score of the battery from his peers. By comparison, Asus U46E-BAL (7:19), Sony EG16FM (8:12), and 13-inch MacBook Pro (3:58) is not so impressive.

Samsung QX411-W01 is beautifully designed inside and out. Its only detraction is that it is more expensive than most consumer notebooks in its class. The premium you pay is the average battery life of high quality, stylish design, robust and excellent gaming performance. If you want a better value overall, with less compromise Asus U46E-BAL5 is our choice in this class.
