Packard Bell EasyNote TJ61-SB-004

Pre
This laptop is mainly purchased for school (you have not seen my handwriting), but use outside school to watch on vacation and the like is not totally excluded films ...
The version I have is black, not white as shown in the product image. The laptop is at time of writing, only three days old, so there will probably travel updates. wast he comes with Windows Vista, but that has never turned. Because I am Ubuntu fan. All hardware wast simply supported * and works instantly. * If you want to enjoy graphics hardware acceleration then you go to the closed-source drivers from ATi need. First, install all updates from Ubuntu, and then download ATi's drivers from here . Run it as root and just do what's Choice Well, anyway, the sales pitch of a boy from the local BCC. It cost € 499, and that would only apply to that day. I had a budget of € 540. For that price you can find many laptops with a similar processor but a simple graphic chip from Intel. Specs In the other tab First impression , he looks nice and finished, but he feels not equally firmly. Especially the back of the display can be quite depressed. Here I have no problems in normal use. Also keep this laptop or from some dust and fingerprints. hole for a lock is in the left hinge. To close the lock nicely into the cylinder where the hinges are processed. The on / off switch is incorporated in the right hinge. Because the plastic around the hinge is extremely weak, it is the most vulnerable part of the laptop. The keyboard works fine, and the (nice big) touchpad sits below the center of the QWERTY section of the keyboard, and not in the middle the laptop itself. With the side of the touchpad can be scrolled. There is also a button to turn out. TouchPad The laptop came with Windows Vista, but I immediately replaced with Ubuntu 9.10. The installation of Ubuntu went completely smoothly in just 5 minutes, in recent distros everything works out-of-the-box. I have no idea how this looks for Vista users ... Performance The first thing I noticed is that my desktop with all effects a relatively low frame rate, namely 25fps, compared to 150 fps on my desktop. But if I am pushing the video card, by combining playing a 720p video effects that I still get 25fps. This will be an energy saving measure. Benchmarks come yet ... Energy The 4400mAh battery is 11 volts. Solve it costs more than € 120! incidentally the charger claims to have an output of 90 watts, but there can be only 40 watts to the battery. The rest of the capacity of the laptop itself. these tests are not 100%, I rely here on Ubuntu's measurements. With fuel economy (bluetooth and wifi off, brightness at its lowest and just play your music) is just so ' n consumes 17 watts. This keeps the battery three hours. At full load (720p video quality visualtsatie the music, and the brightness at most) use the laptop as much as 50 watts. But then the laptop is there is still an hour doing it. Charging the battery takes about an hour. Connectors

Picture
The EasyNote has a glossy screen. Sometimes you therefore suffer from reflections, but as long as you have no light "in the picture" is that bad. I have not seen a single dead pixel. The viewing angle on the sides is perfect, but the top and bottom is somewhat disappointing.
resolution, 1366 x 768 fits nicely with the format. More is better, but this is enough. Sound The sound from the speakers sounds, after using a software equalizer, pretty good. He can not very hard. When using headphones or separate speakers, the sound just right. Unfortunately, the clap of the screen pretty much effect on the sound quality. cooling, heat and unwanted noise , the laptop is pretty quiet. If you do your best, you can hear him, but the fans do not even above the sound of the touch pad. 's hard drive just as you hear at startup. comes with normal use there left some hot air out. The sensors give 50 and 42 degrees. If you go heavy burden on him, he makes more noise, he's just above the keyboard. The air at the back is now quite hot. Now he is 65 and 58 degrees. Still pretty neat for such a small space. Conlusie You sometimes hear people complain about Packard Bell, but the design, afwerkig and build quality, the only thing that really depends on the brand, are just fine. There is certainly nothing wrong with Packard Bell as a brand. I still use (components of) a Packard Bell computer in 2000 as a home server. This laptop has the right components and the right features at the right price (at least, on that day at the BCC). It's just a good laptop. Update: The right hinge broke down. During the unfolding of the laptop to the plastic hinge broke it. I sent him to Packard Bell. He was picked for you by UPS. Now that is good service. Unfortunately, it is still 10-12 working days, Maarja. Update 2: The right hinge has gone back piece after a few months. This time it had become unusable. The on / off switch Because I could miss the laptop two weeks em because I would not pay for a repair that according to their out of warranty, I decided to repair it yourself. That went well for about a month, but the day before I went on vacation (rottiming. ..) he went back piece. I saw one of my upcoming ICT training reliable laptop I ndig, I decided to make a new order. Review it follows, but I have already updated Conlusie It is in itself a good laptop. Nice specs for the price. The battery was still pretty good after eighteen years (60 ~ 70% or so) and the video performance was also surprisingly good. Especially the fact that it has a numeric keypad makes it a must. Unfortunately, one laptop without on / off button to be a very expensive form of ballast. This laptop is unfortunately not much more valuable than a brick of 2.5 kilograms. words, buy him! Sale or other BELLNotebook same hinge. There is nothing wrong with the brand, only this design fails just hard.
