Lenovo IdeaPad Y550P Review

 

         

                ASUSTeK Computer Inc.. and Micro Star International Co.., Ltd. are two of the four major manufacturers of motherboards today's world. In addition to presenting products of computer components, both companies also have jumped into the industry that is emerging netbook. Even the Asus, the Eee PC is a pioneer in the field.
Do not want to miss with its competitors, Gigabyte also participated pursue this field. As evidence, they have spawned one of its products into the Indonesian market, the Gigabyte M912M is already present about 3 months.
Gigabyte itself has several product lines ranging from handheld computers to full-sized portable computer. Starting from the MID (Mobile Internet Device), UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer), Café Book, Touch Note, Booktop, Myou, and Notebook.
M912M Series VIVAnews try that this time is a netbook that comes into the category Book Café.
Design and SpecificationsThis product, like other netbooks in general, use the Intel Atom platform. The processors that are embedded in the netbook dimension 235 x 180 x 28 to 42 millimeters is N270 1.6 GHz speed.
To be able to be played, the screen is supported only by one seat in the middle of the netbook body. Although only one, but the hinges seem strong enough support and is protected with a cover.
However, keep in mind, to rotate the screen for netbooks into tablet PCs, lap done according to the clock. Rotate in the opposite direction, especially if done in haste is likely to damage the seat is used. But do not worry, the casing, especially near the hinge that is available screen rotation direction concerned.
From the aspect of design, Gigabyte M912M using plastic casing with silver color cast on the entire body casing, and piano black on the screen. For air flow, the lattice is located on the left and the bottom of the netbook. Ventilation at the bottom enough to keep the processor, hard drive, and other devices in it to work at low temperatures. Here are the technical specifications of Gigabyte M912M netbook:

Performance TestWhen VIVAnews try using M912M as a tablet PC, the default application that is available Penpower Handwriting can indeed help write the document with a touch screen.


    "The number of netbooks on the market makes producers must be smart to rack my brain to bring to market innovative products to attract users. One of them is like that done by Gigabyte. Top motherboard manufacturer presents a netbooks sail touch screen that can be rotated and the input devices like a tablet PC. "
VIVAnews tried to write the above sentence using the stylus. From experiments, we get a better experience when writing with third-party applications like Evernote ritePen (can be tested free for 30 days) than the default application.The side Gigabyte M912M Gigabyte M912M Gigabyte M912M

 If you want to write just like the book or with vertical display mode, after turning the display screen do not forget to make touch-screen calibration. Thus, the movement of the cursor on the screen will correspond to the touch on the touchscreen.

Distribution channels or sales service is the same product as other products like Gigabyte motherboard, VGA, and others.
Pros:- Touch screen- Available Express Card slot
Disadvantages:- Tuts small keyboard and meetings- Application innate character recognition is less comfortable

Fiber Optic Transmission Now Supports 200Gbps

       Nokia Siemens Networks has conducted laboratory tests that successfully transmits data at speeds 200Gigabit per second (200g) through a standard optical fiber. The success of this trial marks an important step towards network 400g.

      The test was conducted following the recent announcement of Nokia Siemens Networks on equipment Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is ready to support speeds of up to 400g. It is estimated, the network operator will be able to hold the optical network is ready to 400g in 2011.

        "Our latest test shows that this time it is possible to reuse the existing optical fiber network and double the speed of up to 200g per wavelength," said Oliver Jahreis, Head of Product Management for WDM Networks, Nokia Siemens Networks, in his statement, October 4, 2010 .

       This development, said Jahreis, an important milestone and shows that we are on the right track towards a cost-effective approach to network 400g and so on.

       Jahreis mention, when demand for high capacity transport network continues to increase, network operators need to increase its speed per wavelength in their existing networks. "This will help the operators get the most from their investment, because it adds additional fiber optic lines to meet capacity requirements is an expensive option," he said.

       The move to 400g is the next step in the deployment of optical transport, following 10/40/100G network today.

      "The use of existing optical fiber back to the evolution towards a higher network capacity will protect the investments of the operators, and provide higher data speeds to end users," said Jahreis.

Nokia Siemens Networks is conducting this trial at the research and development center in Munich using prototype equipment developed.

Adverse Effects of Radiation WiFi Signal

Research on the impact of wireless signal radiation in humans generally do not produce concrete conclusions. However, from recent research conducted on the tree, it was revealed that living things this one is more fragile than human.
Research carried out by Wageningen University found that trees growing in areas that have WiFi high activity, especially in residential areas, which do not suffer symptoms similar to symptoms caused by bacteria or viruses.
As quoted from PopSci, 23 November 2010, the symptoms that appear on the tree among them was bleeding, cracks in the skin, the demise of certain parts of the leaves, and abnormal growth.
To test the hypothesis whether the cause of the mysterious illness was caused by radiation, WiFi, researchers using 20 of the ash or Fraxinus and provide various levels of radiation on the trees for 3 months.
Apparently, the WiFi signal exposed trees showed signs of diseases caused by radiation, including colors such as lead in the leaves, which indicates that the leaves will soon die.
As an illustration, in a country like the Netherlands, about 70 percent of the trees in residential areas experiencing side effects from radiation. The figure rose from just 10 percent in 5 years ago. It is not uncommon considering the use of WiFi has skyrocketed in recent years.
Currently, scientists will conduct a number of other studies to find out more about the radiation on plant growth. And unfortunately, no solution can be given for trees due to the adverse effects the use of WiFi.
