The Asian manufacturers Foxconn and hard kernel, Computex two new Tablet PCs unveiled at where Google’s Android operating system is used for. Both models feature a 10.1

Design and processing
The Qosmio F60-10X Toshiba has a lid in the alarm color red bear. He is like the palm rest and the keys provided with a gloss coating as well. Fingerprints are to be seen very clearly, however: The Qosmio F60-10X provides already worn out, therefore, after a short time if you do not remove the stains with a cleaning cloth.

The housing may strike at first sight, it is not stable processes: Even while pushing it creaked audibly. The lid opening was often annoying to hear a squeak

Speed
The Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X Core sits a i3-330M from Intel – and the multimedia notebook delivered in the speed tests also closely monitor the performance, which one processor must wait for this. In the system in 2007 achieved the benchmark Sysmark Qosmio F60-10X, for example, 126 points. Incidentally, as much as the nearly two-year-old Qosmio x300-11L managed with a Core 2 Duo P8600.

The 3D performance of the graphics card Nvidia Geforce GT330M enough for most DX9 games, but not for games that use DX10 effects when maximum resolution of notebook displays and high picture quality will play in the. DX11 supports NVidia graphics anyway. The integrated graphics processor in the unit has switched off Toshiba, switching between two graphics chips is not possible.

Equipment
The highlight of the Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X is the Blu-Ray burner: He describes single-layer Blu-ray discs with up to six times the speed. Even with CDs and DVDs of the burner worked fast. He also had no problems, even with high speed read scratched media.

When you get Qosmio F60-10X while a Blu-Ray burner: The hard drive is 320 GB but less than usual, with notebooks in this price range. The remaining equipment is neat: For external storage offers the Qosmio F60-10X four USB ports, one of them to let them e-SATA devices connects. Also for the network’s all there: Gigabit-LAN, WLAN and Bluetooth-11n. Toshiba also installed many software tools on the notebook: some of them are really useful for the network connection or perform a system check as to other; one could also do without you. The playback software for Blu-Ray and DVD + supports Resolution: This wills the Toshiba HD-DVD playback quality almost achieves.

Screen
The screen does not quite fit into a high-quality multimedia notebook: First, its resolution is only 1366 x 768 pixels, the screens can therefore only play back video in 720p natively, Full-HD movies he has on his resolution down sampling. He also shone not overly bright – we measured an average of 182 cd/m2. High-quality multimedia notebooks offer a brightness of 250 cd/m2 or more. The contrast was more than mediocre. In the laboratory, the display proved not to be excessively responsive: The subjective visual tests, but there were no problems with movie playback.

Battery life
The Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X is not particularly easy for a 15.6-inch notebook. For standard applications, it was with one charge by about three hours short. In practice this is not enough for a long Blu-ray movie when you film shows the brightness all the way up for the turn.

Keyboard
The Qosmio F60-10X keyboard was installed and stable, low voice. The pressure feedback of the keys was clear. Toshiba is building a number pad in the keyboard. Right over the keyboard to sits seven sensor buttons that can control the media playback for example.

Conclusion
Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X offers good facilities with the large extra Blu-Ray burner. However, it was in the test as a multimedia device is not entirely convincing: For this example, the display was too mediocre. Overall, the notebook left in the test a bad impression. Nevertheless, one must for this price, even apart from the Blu-Ray burner expect something more.

It features a colorful design that is not very discreet and will appeal or not according to taste. The finish is in all cases as well as plastics.

Below it heats. It is heard in full load, but the model tested is not finalized, it is possible that the final versions are less noisy.

Without a doubt this notebook is targeted at players with the stylish black with spikes of red here and there. The hull is relatively quiet with its brushed metal finish carbon.
It features Turbo Drive Engine Technology to over-clock the processor and boost performance as well as the Eco Engine Power by which the user can specify different modes (games, movies, lectures, office or Turbo Battery mode).

Available to order for less than 1,160 euros in Materiel.net there, the MSI GX740-075 offers an equipment / price ratio in the middle of its class when it appears among the only ones to benefit from a powerful graphics card also.

The Radeon Mobility HD5870 is indeed the most powerful moment enough to play properly in recent games without sacrificing the level of detail.

The screen offers a resolution on this comfortable but not full HD. 16/10 Its format should delight those who fuss over the slabs cons 16:9 because of the number of pixels too small upright.

In turn, the 4 GB of RAM, Intel Core i5-430M and the hard drive with a Swift storage capacity of 500GB relatively comfortable operation to ensure comfortable multitasking and common use.

The Audio 4.1 helps immerse themselves in the atmosphere (games, movies) and is complete with HDMI connectivity, e-SATA, Firewire, Bluetooth, ExpressCard and Wi-Fi .

It features technology that allows GraphiX Boost manually switch between the dedicated graphics card for better performance and integrated graphics chipset for increased autonomy.

Turbo33 technology is also part and combines the hardware and software to deliver performance above normal (about 33%), for example read fluidly HD video.

Express Gate, the mini-light system based on Linux is also installed. With it, you can access in seconds to surf the Internet, check your e-mails, etc..

Designed plastic, it features a silver brushed metal finish on the inside or outside that gives it an elegant and sober.

The power connector, an air vent, VGA, HDMI, 2 USB and audio ports are positioned on the left while the optical drive, card reader, USB and Ethernet are present right.

Chiclet style keyboard has flat black matte keys well spaced from each other. Very well integrated palm rest, touchpad has a multi-touch surface spikes and a button bar chrome.

Its technologies and Turbo33 Graphi-X Boost uplifts are more clearly because they act both on performance and self positively.

The 8-cell battery should give it considerable autonomy while her weight is quite content for a 14-inch laptop.

The storage space of 500GB is comfortable and the proper connections with HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3 USB but not e-SATA to the program as many phones CULV.

The 4 GB of RAM fully supported by the OS and 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 ensure a relatively comfortable working in office automation and multitasking. It should be borne in mind that little hungry applications are run simultaneously if we do not want to suffer jerks and long load times.

Unsurprisingly, the screen is positioned in the average with a standard resolution, a bright and Treatment 16:9 formats particularly well suited to playing videos.

As for the dedicated graphics card Geforce 210M G entry level, it can play HD video games and run some resource intensive 3D by adapting the level of details, see the resolution depending on the title.

To replace the front speakers, Hi-fi mobile chose a kit 3 way Focal 165 KRX3. This kit consists of a pair of tweeters, a pair of mediums by 10 cm and a pair of woofers of 16.5 cm, all with passive crossovers course. The installer can then cast this mount on the dashboard or in amounts of windscreens to integrate HP. There are of course the works of editing, but this system greatly facilitates Focal things. In this case, Hi-fi mobile home removed the tweeters which are located in the dashboard. Once the media picked Julio has molded fiber and resin on the plate on the support of Focal origin of the Audi.

Thus, the new tweeter / mid-range amounts without changing the dash kit and the car can be delivered easily in original condition for resale. Once the new medium sanded, Julio was covered with a gray calfskin original color. It has also been one of the hardest things: finding the right leather to stay in the tone of the dashboard. For design, flange plate of a wood veneer HP receives identical to the original. A black grille cloth is then coating both HP (medium, high). Of course, this is a small addition on the dash kit but it does not interfere in any way visibility, and the editing is so well done that it went very smoothly for the original system. The crossover of 165 KRX3 is quite large, they were housed in the sides of the trunk. Turning now the woofers and enjoy high quality sound.
