Typhoon has announced the SU-300 clip-on speaker for laptops. The Typhoon SU-300 has two 1W drivers, a frequency range of 200Hz ~ 15 kHz. Size of Typhoon SU-300 is 230 x 60 x 28 mm, has magnetic shielding. The speakers are powered through a USB connector.
A great sounding sound system and a great-looking 16-inch display, the Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086, available at Amazon, a large entertainment notebook. It lacks the Blu-ray drive, the same configured and priced Toshiba Satellite A665-S6085, but it makes up for this loss with an extended-life battery a much longer life battery and produces a WiMax radio for high-speed wireless broadband.
Both laptops also share the same footprint (15 by 10 inches), but because the A665-S6086 adds a 12-cell extended-life battery 98WH to the mix (the A665-S6085 comes with a 6-cell 48Wh battery) 2.2-inch thick, the A665-S6086′s rear feet stick up about 0.75 inches higher than the more slender Toshiba A665-S6085. Also because of the extended-life battery, the A665-S6086 (6.12 pounds) is heavier than the Toshiba A665-S6085 (5.55 pounds), respectively.
The “tile”-like keyboard on the two laptops are identical, where the square, isolated key titles like Scrabble. The keys have nice trip, and there is only a little bit of flex to the right of the keyboard and on the dedicated number pad. A strip of touch-sensitive buttons is above the keyboard. The buttons are the Toshiba Power Utility Eco-management application, 802.11b/g/n the radio on and off, adjust volume, play and pause and play media. There is also a button that the backlight of Toshiba logo on the left corner of the palm rest and a thin LED strip above the touchpad turns. The touchpad surface is smooth, responsive, multitouch gestures, and easy-to-press buttons make it a joy to use. It is level with the palm resting A665-S6086.
The impressive audio quality of the sound system carries over to movie soundtracks as well. Not only movies sound great, they look great on clear and color-rich, the A665-S6086′s 16-inch display. But as with most glossy displays, reflections can be problematic, unless you’re in a dark room. Even with a native resolution of 1366 x 768, you can not watch 1080p videos in their native resolution, but this is less a problem with the A665-S6086 than it is with the Toshiba A665-S6085, a Blu-inclusive ray drive the A665-S6086 comes with a more pedestrian dual-layer DVD +/ RW drive.
The RF510 has a good range of interfaces, including a surprise: USB 3.0. On the left side of the chassis are two USB 2.0 ports, VGA and HDMI video outputs, an Ethernet port and two audio jacks. Over on the right side is a DVD burner and two USB 3.0 ports. The latter, when used with compatible devices are capable of transfer rates of up to 5 G bps. This corresponds to a theoretical ten-fold increase over USB 2.0. (The faster ports are distinguished by blue USB ports, while the USB 2.0 ports, use black.) A four-format flash card reader located on the lower front edge of the notebook is located, and a 1.3-megapixel webcam is embedded in the – Display of the upper panel. The standard edition webcam is good for quick snapshots and utilitarian Skyping, but too coarse for photos you want to keep.
An Intel Core i5-460M processor at 2.53 GHz, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, supports the RF510-S01 offers a lot of horsepower. On our PCMark Vantage test, which is the general system performance measures, the head of the RF510 score of 6445 both the Lenovo ThinkPad Y560D’s 6343 and the outrageously expensive HP EliteBook 8540w 6328 by almost 100 points.
to do our Cine bench 10 test exercises each processor core on a 3D model and is a good measure of raw CPU power. On it, scored the RF510-S01 7177, more than 1,000 points above the average for a mainstream notebook, but about 2,000 points lower than the overclocked MSI GT660R, which was equipped with a Core i7 CPU. The RF510-S01 completed our iTunes (music) and Windows Media Encoder (Video) media encoding tests in 3 minutes and 5 seconds and 4:17, respectively. (For these tests, we convert 11 storage MP3s into AAC format in iTunes and Windows Media Encoder, encode a test-standard 3-minute video clip.) Both times, more than a full minute faster than the mainstream laptop average which means This laptop will have no trouble importing and encoding movies convert MP3, AAC and other music files.
The RF510 is equipped with mid-tier mobile Nvidia GPU, the GeForce GT 330M. While it is not what you call a killer gaming chip, the 330M GT led admirably on our real world gaming benchmarks. Running at its 1,366 x 768 native resolution, it was the RF510 a respectable 63.2 frames per second (fps) on our Company of Heroes DirectX 9 gaming test, which is a bit slower than the more expensive MSI GT660R (171fps) and Lenovo IdeaPad Y560D (77.3fps), but still a very playable frame rate. It has 23.9fps on the DirectX 10 version of the same test, you want to call back on some effects may even enjoy playing the games of this caliber means.
