Despite the crisis, now has divorced the set every glossy magazine highlighting the impeccable appearance of not only man-adherent bohemian lifestyle, but also all its accessories, including technology. That’s a lot of laptop manufacturers decided to release glamorous devaysa, pleasing to the eye inhabitants. Among these companies turned out to ASUS, this time submitting the laptop M50Vm. From the outside «notebook» very much like a zebra, a flat on one side of the trunk, because the white stripes on a glossy black, crowded on one side to the other edge of the lid fun creeping over the surface. Throwing back the lid Note, I saw a glossy matrix, round grilles on the speakers (a la Toshiba) and enlarge «boards» with a separate digital module. There is nothing more remarkable in the appearance of the device is not detected, and so I began a more thorough investigation «stripy».

When typing the scientific content of the long and intricate verbal constructions, I realized that the manufacturer had some things to sacrifice for the sake of increasing the size of the keyboard: the buttons have narrowed to such an extent that my fingers all the time missed. «Face» of the new creature – beautiful and shiny, with a diagonal of 15.4 “and as much resolution 1680 x 1050 pixels. Itemized pictures – amazing, even in dark scenes from Tarkovsky’s films are clearly visible all the details. Pleasant impression left and dynamics. At the stated «surround sound» of course, they do not pull, but work well, with no apparent distortion.

Want digital record? Please! Windows Vista itself evaluated the system of 5 points, 3DMark 2006 gave nout 1514 fluffy porcupine, an animal separately awarded the 2233 CPU. Realistic games were not happy with the video M50. Thus, in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with maximum heavy settings observed only 4-5 fps, and only at a resolution of 800 x 600 slideshows disappeared.

This laptop can live without extra food for 3 h in a position to leisurely walk (Word, Excel) and about 1,5 h at frisky run (watch the film with a maximum resolution of the screen). In the days when the crisis is moving from the pocket of finance, is to think deeply about what you can and lose valuable information. That’s when you’ll need is a PC – the machine for the man mad at Data Protection. In nout has a lock Kensington, so in a public office, no one encroach on your «zebra» physically, but if the chain still have time to eat and a laptop will be carried away under the cloak with gigabytes of trade secrets, then guard your secrets will continue to stand fingerprint fingers, the system will encrypt the data and program ASUS CopyProtect. But that’s not all! We invited ASUS Security Protect Manager, which is when you first load requires confirmation of the boot up! In this case, you can change the settings as a fingerprint scanner, and personal settings for flash drives and other USB-device; and also put an individual authentication for each user. Add to this a couple of algorithms for data encryption. What? There were also, however, and without problems. At first, I decided to chat on Skype videoconference, but then it turned out that «wood» web camera is not installed. Scratch around the enclosed CD, I did not find the desired instance and went to the site ASUS, which was found out an interesting thing: to start to identify the manufacturer of the camera ID, and then swing on. But! Identifier of this model was not on the list. However softina LifeFrame allowed me to shoot video, and even without drivers.

Thus, M50 as a whole – a successful and well-balanced machine. System Diary Technology News Blog can suggest this machine for anyone.
