As a low-cost machines, R3000 machine plastic intelligence, cover and chassis are black, open the machine is silver, this color seems somewhat strange, but we believe that there was still a lot of friends like R3000, after all, relatively broad-brush shape, the pursuit of a Founder atmospheric feel, the body only a few of the decorative style is simple.
R3000 in the structure design, for the first time after this the screen hinge is set to move to the back below the roof level of a high position, that a similar design with the S series SONY have great similarities. The advantage is you can reduce the thickness of the whole; while the location of this shaft design, think more of appreciation.
Workmanship, R3000 HP has always been fully inherited the fine style, make it difficult for them to single out the slightest problems. In addition, the weight and size in R3000 can be said to be a giant, both are the same type of machine than the large full circle, portability is almost zero there is screen lock COMPAQ mark on the Open button. This design little alternative {1}
On the screen, widescreen home entertainment has become a synonym for the notebook models, HP R3000 selected for 16:10 aspect ratio WXGA (1280 800) widescreen LCD display. Screen performed well in actual use, not only high brightness (unfortunately not bright screen), colorful, and has a very wide viewing angle. For those who like to use the laptop for watching DVD's friends it is a good choice.
The interface, the fat of R3000 described as ranging, in addition to including the popular USB interface, network interface, audio interface endures, but also provides IEEE1394, S-Vedio, card reader and a series of interfaces, even also provides a port replicator port, can be said to meet a variety of different users of scalability requirements. The first generation of widescreen with HP X1000 and other than the port layout has been improved a lot, such as the X1000, two USB, RJ11, RJ45 are on the back, and R3000 in addition to the parallel port and VGA, the other interfaces are arranged on the left and right sides, the fight possibility has been greatly reduced. one card reader (SD / MS / PRO / MMC / SM) for the owners of DC's comrades can be a great boon.
And HP has also left a number of their own unique trailer, or floppy drive can be fitted with three USB ports, but unfortunately the trailer I still have not found {26}
As R3000 large body, and thus fit for HP easily a full-size keyboard. In actual use, we found that the keyboard feels quite good, reflecting the consistent level of HP (and IBM, of course, still far from {4}). The middle of the keyboard and wrist rest position there is a bright silver trimmings, like people will think it makes the whole look seems very solemn, do not like it may be too rigid and, from a practical point of view to use it Because of silver decorated with a bright surface, is more prone to wear, I have been in use for some time a slight wear.
Touchpad below the keyboard mouse also conform to the screen made of a 16:10 ratio of appearance, but also has the right and the top of the screen with a concavity scroll mouse pad area and a separate switch button (this has become HP's iconic design), so that users can more easily and accurately control and positioning the mouse.
The bottom of the mouse is in the well-known in the laptop speakers JBL Pro speakers (this is the HP logo design), the
Compaq Presario R3000 battery has the notebook is quite satisfied with the sound.
R3000 in the drive in order to achieve higher performance to give the notebook to the most commonly used to achieve the best performance, power consumption than the 8X DVD-ROM, but the use of faster, comparable to desktop 16X DVD-ROM , so that users can read DVD data to the desktop-like experience high speed.
Although the R3000 is mainly for the less demanding family of mobile users, but for laptops it has a certain mobility is quite necessary. So HP is equipped with a capacity for reaching 14.8V 4400mAh lithium-ion battery, nominal R3000 can support a strong run for 3 hours. (Actually what, hehe ~ ~) {3}
In order to meet the strong demand in power consumption R3000, R3000 is equipped with the power of the volume is quite large, reaching full power of an ordinary notebook twice. But also heat a lot of big, I believe completely in winter for use as a Hand Warmer oh. {5}
HP software in random or not give us a special surprise, in addition to the PDF manuals, software, restore, Norton, WINDOWS will be no outside, perhaps in two versions of an English XP CD is the only color of the
Compaq Presario R3000AP battery Department, this is the HP practice, may be sent to XP HP that other software seems to send more than the actual bar {1}
Before the test to say:
R3000 install the Simplified Chinese version of WindowsXP Home Edition + SP2, DirectX 9b and the accompanying driver (in HP official website update), the system is set to performance, priority, power management set to home mode, in addition to MobileMark battery-driven outside the rest of the test items are In the case of an external AC power, guaranteeing the machine to run at peak performance. Wider coverage of test software, including the SiSoftware Sandra 2004, PCMark 02/04 (1.20), 3DMark 01, Nero CD Speed and MobileMark 2002 and so on.
As the R3000 are for the user group is mainly home users, so the CPU is used in the selection of portable Pentium 4 2.8GHz processor, which supports 533MHz FSB, has a strong floating point performance, the machine provides a powerful
Compaq DP390A battery core support.
Hard disk is TOSHIBA's 4025GKS, 4200RPM. A capacity of 40GB, the results in SiSoftware Sandra is also good.
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
Int Buff iSSE2 (MB / s) 2307
Float Buff iSSE2 (MB / s) 2312
Finally, MobileMark 2002, the testing results from MobileMark, high-performance processor and hard drive does not move for the overall performance of a surprise, but another we all a little disappointed. With a R3000 processor clocked at 2.8GHz to get 140 performance score, the score reached only about platform based on Pentium-M 1.4GHz machine level. In addition, the battery life time I believe I need I have to say we have been able to guess a ballpark to the bar, and the final test results show that the R3000 battery can support the full speed for about 2 hours. This time, though not long, but in the same type of machine can also be considered.
