The main panel push digital entertainment, mobile Internet the concept has won market share, relative to the PC with this market seems to have encountered bottlenecks, innovative and rapidly changing IT industry to maximize profits is to survive. However, the Tablet PC solves the portability problem, but in the mobile Internet era, the Tablet PC is still based on the content of the "consumer" rather than "creator." Notebook computers in the creation of the advantages of content can not be replaced by tablet PCs. Nokia did not fall for the moment, Intel's $ 300 million from the pockets do dig fund push Ultrabook, it increases the technology's ease of use is also closer to the plate: lighter weight, improved battery life, instant wake-up functions are real-time updates provide users with a new use. With fresh blood, the enterprise has also been a virtuous cycle of sustained growth in sales, the major PC makers also respond positively to its call. When the main force in creating content - full-featured portable laptop computers to solve problems with the life time, then, the era of industrial revolution and it has come.
We have seen four so-called "super extreme", these are respectively S3 hummingbird Acer, Asus UX21, Lenovo and Toshiba U300s Z830, in which Acer S3 hummingbird with brand influence, transparent prices, the current CD an HDD hard drive configuration options available (HDD version of the 7999 yuan, SSD version of the 9999 yuan), and will be the first to market advantage in September to get the consumer's attention, this article will show you Acer S3 hummingbird Appearance, Use experience and theory testing.
Acer S3 hummingbird: Full support from the thin magnesium alloy body frame
Acer S3 titanium gray hummingbird body cap aluminum alloy material, and the use of metal wire drawing process to create, can fundamentally solve the problems easily contaminated with fingerprints, to enhance the whole texture. Screen with a black body at the junction of the use of decorative borders, an simple style wells.
\13 mm or so Acer S3 hummingbird machine with aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, the "inevitable wearing thin" concept completely broken at the same time, all-metal material in a thermally enhanced, while the full texture.
Acer S3 hummingbirds adopt a more rounded corners transition easily into being within a user-friendly, but also demonstrated here the details of its steel-framed tender side, yet tough and sexy.
13.3 inches can be described as the golden light of the screen size, both to ensure adequate vision and operating area without losing portability. The unique "embedded" display screen, the screen thickness reduced by 33%, body size can be controlled to the extreme, "hummingbird" in the title to its name.
Acer S3 hummingbird machine weighs only 1.3 kilograms, it is even in thickness less than a fashion magazine, showing a super great this innovative design.
Acer S3 hummingbird: the main interface does not support USB3.0 full post
In pursuit of the ultimate thin and light, Acer S3 hummingbird only placed in the fuselage on both sides of combo card reader and headphone / microphone jack, composite, and the remaining interfaces are designed in the rear fuselage. HMDI socket power adapter jack, and the location is certainly reasonable, but the two USB 2.0 ports will result in the number of first stretched the situation, followed by insertion of the device will often encounter the inconvenience.
Acer S3 hummingbird is a major feature of the bottom outlet free design, so when the user put it on his knees when used, is very comfortable. In addition, after the style front wind design will eliminate the noise source, to prevent the hot air does not affect the return side of the mouse.
The fourth-generation Dolby Home Theater technology to optimize the application to bid farewell to the light of this era can not have good sound quality, with 13.3-inch LED-backlit display provides users with even more shocking, realistic audio-visual experience.
As a result of the design of internal non-removable battery, Acer S3 hummingbird at the bottom with some of the design of a mobile digital devices (such as mobile phones, tablet PCs) like "RESET" pinhole, but the design can not only cut off the power to restart . When the computer encounters crashes, blue screen can not be properly turned off, the user just fine with enough hard objects that can press the switch mandatory shutdown of operations.
Acer S3 hummingbird: keyboard design rather thought
The difference is that with the conventional notebook, Acer S3 hummingbird power button location is rather special, I thought it will open / close cover provided under the two states in two ways, it is not true, but the unique location of the power button will be more help in low light conditions precise positioning. Visual indicator is near the time their duties, both in what form to use, the machine's operating status at a glance.
To allow users to have a cool and comfortable control experience, Acer S3 motherboard designed hummingbird especially for the layout of components under a lot of effort, the palm rest inside the lithium-ion polymer battery, resulting in minimal heat, in addition to magnesium alloy material at the same time to enhance the robustness of the body to further enhance the user experience.
Divided island both full-size keyboard, the task of cooling air circulation, even if the long run the machine also has the coolness of its surface, which greatly enhanced the intuitive experience, but poor force feedback buttons, a little less.
Support multi-touch touchpad-one simple and elegant, its matte surface material, will give users the most diverse operating experience, but in practice when you press the left button when the mouse pointer will be more or less drift.
Aluminum-magnesium alloy body at the bottom there is a special area, bright stainless steel according to people under the corresponding hard bit, it played a role in protecting the hard drive, and integrated design for the sake of global security will return a sense of special mark printed directly The drive to protect the metal shell.
As a result of low-voltage processor, the Acer S3 hummingbird smaller than the conventional power adapter, which brought out a long time to travel lighter weight, more fitting Ultrabook concept.
Acer hummingbird S3: i7 processor without the pressure of daily applications
Ultrabook concept a few years ago there, CULV is to represent, but by the impact of technology, performance, power consumption, size, price not reach equilibrium, hastily. 300 million fund, driven by Intel to make a provision most favorable to consumers - price controls in 1000 dollars. Prices down, the user will have concerns about its performance, ultra-extreme instinct to meet the user's daily office needs?
Initial Ultrabook will use the second generation of Core processors, as defined in the thin body and long battery life, only 18W TDP or lower-voltage version in order to meet, get measured this hummingbird Acer S3 equipped with Intel Core i7 -2637M processor, which attached to the second-generation Core processor family, only the BGA package version, do not pin it can only be soldered onto the motherboard. Intel Core i7-2637M is still in the manufacturing process for the 32nm, combines Core Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics card, but the 17W power consumption compared to conventional voltage processor of 35W is much lower. In addition, Intel Core i7-2637M integrates AES encryption instruction set, Trusted Execution Technology and other functions.
Intel Core i7-2637M dual nuclear power plant has a 4MB cache-threaded processors, clocked at 1.70GHz, Turbo 2.0 after maximum acceleration can be upgraded to single-threaded 2.80GHz. The design process allowed low-frequency voltage is not too high, while at the same time Core graphics memory clock voltage than conventional processors also declined. Intel Core i7-2637M integrated graphics-based Core frequency of 350MHz, a maximum frequency of 900MHz, while the other half in the regular voltage Core graphics processor highest frequency of 1.20GHz.
Through the PCMark Vantage test, Acer S3 hummingbird is powered by Intel G3 128GB solid state drive strength is already completely revealed, up to 24,222 marks to enhance the overall average, which reflects the practical application of which will be reflected in significantly improved, such as opening large Software, video files and other image processing speed of operation.
Although the use of low-voltage processor, but because of i7's sake, Acer S3 hummingbird processor scored exceptionally well, and by observing the various sub-scores, the balance is obvious.
Acer Extensa 2000 battery carrying a piece of Intel G3 128GB solid-state hard drive, through the HD Tune test, the maximum read speed of 224.4MB / s, compared to conventional solid-state hard drive is already right way, at the same time, 128GB of capacity is also relatively abundant, the basic to meet daily needs. In addition, the largest hummingbird Acer S3 provides 240G SSD drive, 320/500GHDD hard disk and SSD hard drive while the configuration of the embedded option in the final analysis is in order to achieve extremely fast access and high-capacity storage media and data preparation.
Acer hummingbird S3: good heat dissipation under full load
As long as the light of the notebook, often in the heat on the most compelling concern, this heat will determine the life time of thin product's performance, heat and life are inextricably notebook manufacturers are also under the feet of this Kung Fu. Acer S3 hummingbird cooling performance was good, run one hour in PCMark Vantage, the entire keyboard surface C maximum temperature at 39 degrees Celsius, most close to the performance of the user's left palm rest, the most gratifying, for a long time manipulation does not appear any burning sensation.
In contrast the bottom of the fuselage, excellent heat dissipation as commendable, the main heating region is still concentrated in the CPU area, the basic temperature of 40 degrees to meet user demands placed on the use of the legs. Other good temperature performance, the average temperature of only 33 degrees.
Acer S3 hummingbird with 36.4Wh lithium-ion
Acer Aspire One ZG5 battery polymer battery, the official claimed that the model with a SSD hard drive will receive about 7 hours of battery life, and the HDD models can be equipped with up to 6 hours. As for the Acer machine S3 hummingbird actual life, we will test the practical application of the back of the article for everyone present.
Summary
Apple's dominance, the system contributed to a wealth of applications that prayer flag has many fans. But in the PC market, Windows market share has reached 97%, the user does not leave like Air, but more eager to Air combined with the windows system, Ultrbook which came into being, while Acer S3 hummingbird is such a perfect fusion of science and technology crystal . 13.3 inches is only 1.3 kg the Acer S3 hummingbird machine with aluminum-magnesium alloy frame, it will be a balance between light weight and durability, and excellent heat dissipation to ensure the case, the performance of its hardware had to carry CLUV before the "tasteless" laptop behind. Of course, Acer S3 hummingbird is not perfect, USB interface, a small number and the location is also not reasonable, of course, the most important thing is the price of consumer concern, although the initial product release can not reach the standard $ 1,000, but as the product increasingly rich and continuous improvement of the
Acer Aspire One D255 battery industrial chain, I believe that one day closer and closer.
Acer S3 hummingbird also smaller, instant wake-up via built-in technology to achieve fast boot only 1.5 seconds to respond (wake up from sleep state to state), the state can continue to work to achieve up to 7 hours battery usage time, In the deep sleep state, the battery can be maintained 50 days. These benefits only a small part of its, as well as immediate connection technology, cool air flow cooling technology, and some of the new selling point, the follow-up evaluation in the article, we will continue to do the depth test, completely opened for you Acer S3 mysterious hummingbird veil!
