Rocketbook digitizes your notes and washed in the microwave

tools available today than ever before, in the form of paper-based notebooks and notebooks, may have soon become quite necessary for the modern business person. But there is still something nice when the paper is to own any characters. The latest innovation that joins the growing library of books in digital form is Rocketbook. And this device does have one very curious feature. In addition to being able to perform handwritten notes to send them to the cloud, Rocketbook can connect to the microwave to delete recordings from some pages.

Recent devices that serve a similar purpose as the Rocketbook, include Livescribe notebook from this industry veteran Moleskine, and Equil Smart marker and Smart Kapp, who developed and enable the user to digitize and share their own created content with friends and subscribers.

Rocketbook digitizes your notes and washed in the microwave

Joe LeMay, creator Rocketbook, hopes to take the attractive niche market that has developed between modern technology and old, cherished method of creating text documents. His device uses specially designed “leaves” in A4, displayed on the screen 8.5 × 11 inches (210 x 297 mm). And if Crowdfunding campaign, which he controls, to be successful, and it will happen when it reaches the level of 300 000 US dollars, the closer to the end of the year the first samples appear on the shelves of electronics stores.

At the bottom of each page Rocketbook there are a number of seven characters, which the company calls the magic button. Each of them can be assigned to perform specific functions: to send a file to the cloud, to reproduce in audio format, save / delete and others.

Review of the gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17

Gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17 Nitro looks like a perfectly normal office DTR-notebook. His black-and-silver finish rather surprising little thick and quiet operation than inherent gaming models aggressive design. Insight comes at a time when you get to the technical parameters or run on the sample modern game – a quad Intel Core i7, discrete graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M, as well as 16 GB of RAM and a hybrid SSD + HDD storage give this level of performance, which can confound a significant part of the dedicated gaming laptops. Well, as the cherry on top of cake stands an excellent 17.3-inch IPS-screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and Anti-glare matte surface.

Appearance

As we have already mentioned, when we first met Acer Aspire V17 Nitro surprise minimum thickness – from 17-inch gaming notebook DTR-directional subconsciously expect almost twice the thickness. In fact, the height of the housing is not such a record, it is exactly one inch, but pointed and rounded front edge to the bottom of the sidewall give your laptop the same effect of lightness, thanks to which he “floats” above the surface of the table. For the record, passport size model up 423 × 293 × 25,4 mm, weight – about 3 kg.

The top cover of the notebook is finished in black matte plastic (soft-touch NIL) with a texture in the form of a fairly deep vertical lines. Dark panel dilutes the manufacturer’s logo and a thin silver panel near the hinges of the display unit. The panel is made of plastic coated with a metal, and decorated with embossed inscription Aspire V Nitro.

Lower body Acer Aspire V17 Nitro almost entirely made of softtach-black plastic. In contrast to the matte embossed cover material, the surface very quickly covered with fingerprints. However, this is unlikely to be a problem for the 17-inch laptop, the model which does not involve the use of too frequent movement from place to place.Review of the gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17

On the bottom you can find the dynamics, moved closer to the front face and tiny hole to force a reboot of the device. Recently it took for the simple reason that the developers have decided to make your laptop battery removable. Wide strip perforation is used for air intake cooling system. Processor and a discrete graphics card provides two separate fan who can independently handle the dust using proprietary technology Acer DustDefender.

Tapered front edge Acer Aspire V17 Nitro contains only a couple of digital microphones. Almost the entire width of trimmed silver plastic back panel is occupied by radiators cooling system. On the left face imposed optical drive, a pair of USB 2.0 connectors, and a Kensington lock hole. On the right side you can find a full-sized card reader, combined audio port, two connectors USB 3.0, video output HDMI, foldout network RJ45, pair of indicators of activity and socket adapter.

Ergonomics

Cover Acer Aspire V17 Nitro can be easily opened with one hand despite the absence of recesses, canopies and other ancillary elements of a design.

The display unit rests on two hinges, finished all the same silver plastic “under the metal.” Screen bezel is made rather wide, especially in the lower part. It is made from the same brand softtach plastic as the lower part of the body, so that when you change the angle of the screen you will constantly leave their fingerprints.

The maximum opening angle of the display is considerably higher than average rates, it is about 155 degrees. At the same time throughout the range image is equally bright and juicy, as in this notebook uses high quality matte 17.3-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels.

Review of the gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17

Operating panel Acer Aspire V17 Nitro trimmed softtach-black plastic. In the area podladonnoy area around the keyboard and it is smooth, but near the bases of the display unit designers found it necessary to “refresh” his texture of horizontal stripes. There you can watch the silver block with an inscription Aspire V Nitro, which is approximately a centimeter towers over the rest of the surface. The power button is located on the top right corner of the keyboard, and a pair of indicators of activity that we saw in the study of the right sidewall of the housing looks its edges and on the operation panel. Both indicators are small enough to distract from the work even in a dark room and at the same time informative enough in case you need to assess the current state of the system (active or sleep mode, the process of charging the battery).

The layout of the operating panel Acer Aspire V17 Nitro typical for DTR-laptops – the developers have established a huge touchpad in the center of the main character block, resulting in terms of symmetry it is skewed to the left. All the useful area of the touchpad takes sensor, dedicated buttons are not provided, and the left and right click is performed by bending the lower corners of the panel. The choice of the touchpad surface chosen not entirely successful, as the tactile characteristics, it does not differ from podladonnoy panel. Given the fact that the touchpad is not placed exactly in the center, the user initially could not get a finger to the right place. Also note sloppy “handwritten” stroke Black Edition in the upper left corner, which in theory was to emphasize the exclusivity of this version of the laptop, but in practice it looks too unclear to him considered someone other than the owner of the work.

Review of the gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17

In addition to the availability of additional digital block island laptop keyboard backlight can boast the presence of deep red color. Adjust its brightness or turn on automatically fail, the backlight can be on or off completely, or to include a combination Fn + F9. By keyboard layout claims to be expected not found – all the buttons on their location, size and spacing of the standard buttons, arrows isolated unit for greater convenience.

Functionality

Laptop Acer Aspire V17 Nitro is built on a hardware platform Intel, augmented performance of discrete graphics from NVIDIA. In the present configuration uses a top quad-core Intel Core i7-4710HQ with a base frequency of 2.5 GHz and a maximum frequency of 3.5 GHz mode Turbo Boost. Responsible for processing graphics card of “gaming” GTX-series, in this case NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M with 2GB of dedicated video memory GDDR5.

Graphics

To install the memory available two SODIMM-slot, while depending on the configuration in the laptop is set from 8 to 16 GB of RAM. In hitting on the test sample used in the unusual amount of 6 GB, assembled from two strips 2 and 4 GB from different manufacturers, which undoubtedly affected the results of performance testing. Storage system in the most accessible configurations is a hard drive capacity of 500 GB or 1 TB, the more expensive it is supplemented modifications SSD 60, 128 or 256 GB.

Review of the gaming laptop Acer Aspire V17

The real highlight of the configuration Acer Aspire V17 Nitro stands 17.3-inch IPS-matrix LG LP173WF4-SPF1 with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, a matte finish and a maximum brightness of 300 cd / m2. Triplex removable battery 4600 mAh provides up to 4 hours in power saving mode and just over an hour in the game mode.

Results Acer Aspire V17

As a result, Acer Aspire V17 Nitro – this is a very successful large-format notebook universal orientation, which, depending on your wishes can equally well play a role and the role of the workstation and gaming PC. Performance is more than enough, excellent IPS-screen allows not to think about buying an external monitor, ergonomics and tactile sensations of use – with virtually no complaints. It remains to be noted that the Acer Aspire V17 Nitro has a more compact 15.6-inch counterparts, and the cost of the initial versions of the 17.3-inch model in Western markets starts at $ 1,199.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Professional notebooks – a kind of elite units carrying out such work, which is “too tough” other representatives noutbuchnogo world. Performance with them can be compared except that gaming monsters, but even here there are significant differences, especially in terms of graphics capabilities. At first glance, their performance is almost equal, but not many people know that a professional graphics more demanding in terms of stability and reliability. Professional notebooks equipped with similar video cards are used for special applications. In most cases, these applications are related to the three-dimensional design and modeling.

In addition to unique graphics cards, mobile workstations also offer a rich set of ports, high security requirements, build quality, and many other components. Alone among all the components of professional notebooks should display. It should have excellent values ​​of brightness, contrast, pixel density, and also have the accurate color reproduction. It is the video card and the display are the main distinctive features of professional notebook from everyone else. By the way, a series of ZBook replaced the outdated to two line of laptops – ProBook and EliteBook. Specifically, our model ZBook 17 became the successor of HP Elitebook 8770w. Let’s see what it has changed, and everything is better.

Design – HP ZBook 17

Review of the HP ZBook 17

With the change of name, this device is also changed and appearance. If earlier HP Elitebook 8770w has a fresh and stylish look, with large polished surfaces and a variety of decorative elements, but now everything has changed. HP ZBook 17 was gray and opaque, even the HP label on the top cover is not as bright and noticeable as before. As for the interior materials, here used brushed aluminum and soft-touch plastic. The latter, incidentally, quite original bends around the edges of the top cover of the laptop, which has a small grinding. Perhaps this is the single most eye-catching element in the design of this device.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Dullness and restraint appearance of this notebook prompted by a desire to focus owner HP ZBook 17 at work, so it best to advance its goals. Also, the developers have taken care of practicality laptop – on the surface of almost fingerprints. By the way the assembly of laptop is also at altitude, all the details fit perfectly together, no squeaks, no flex cap. However, it is not very surprising for a unit cost of more than $ 2,000.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Bottom of the notebook is made of black metal, which is very similar to plastic. It has numerous rubber feet that hold the laptop, even on slippery surfaces, the battery compartment, a slot for an extra battery, as well as cover for easy access to components – RAM slots and drives.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Dimensions of this monster is more than a conventional 17-inch notebooks, they are 416x272x34 mm, weight is also not please the owner – 3.7 kg. But it’s all relative, as for workstations such indicators are acceptable, compared with Dell Precision M6800 has a size of 416 × 270 × 40 mm and weighs just over 3.6 kg.

Display and sound webcam – HP ZBook 17

This model is equipped with a 17 HP ZBook 17.3-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It is worth noting that this is the average of the three options, except it has a display with a resolution of 1600×900 pixels, as well as top version DreamColor. Differences between our version of the DreamColor is the use of different matrices, we have it made technology TN, while the DreamColor – on technology, IPS. However, we should not compare our TN-matrix with those which are equipped with conventional laptops. Firstly, the display HP ZBook 17 has high brightness and contrast. Second, compliance with the standard sRGB in this display is close to 100%, which means that all the colors are displayed accurately and realistically. In general, HP ZBook 17 was designed to work with graphics and therefore the quality of the display here have paid special attention.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

By the way, for even more comfort work, HP ZBook 17 equipped with a matte finish, as opposed to the gloss, it is almost not visible reflection and glare that will be important in bright ambient light or outdoors.

Two speakers, closed bars, located above the keyboard. They are the only source of sound in HP ZBook 17, since no additional element in the form of subs here is not provided. Certainly dominated by high frequency, there is practically no bass, and averages do not always reflect the composition as desired. But the sound quality is surprisingly quite high, certainly not such as in stationary systems or multimedia notebooks, but overall for the working tool is even nothing. Even at maximum volume there is no distortion and wheezing, but that’s not all. Due to the fact that the professional models have a slot Express Card, users have the ability to connect via a sound card, and significantly improve the sound and functionality of HP ZBook 17.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

The webcam has a resolution of 1 megapixel, it is enough for video conferencing, it is a larger, alas, is not capable.

Keyboard and Touchpad – HP ZBook 17

Island keyboard HP ZBook 17 frustrating at first sight. The whole point is that being available to such a large body, the developers put in a relatively small keyboard, which is the place would be a 15-inch laptop. Therefore, the edges of the working zone are large areas of free space, and the minimum distance between the keys. Even the presence of the digital unit at such a scale keyboard does not look great advantage, since the distance between it and the main keyboard is minimal, and may be erroneous press. Also uzhaty were up / down arrows and the top row of buttons.

As for the keys, they are rectangular in shape with small radii. By the way the buttons are rounded corner is more pronounced. Pressing pretty bland, but their lack of progress, in this case for a long time typing fingers will get tired.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Overall, the keyboard is not the strongest point of HP ZBook 17, in this respect, its predecessor was more thoughtful. However, in the arsenal of HP ZBook 17 has a very handy backlight with two levels of brightness (activated by pressing [Fn] + [F11]), as well as the system of drainage holes, which protect the keyboard in the case of moisture inside.

Touch-sensitive surface 17 HP ZBook has great size and very fine-tuning. Positioning is performed with surgical precision, all gestures occur without error, and if we add a very pleasant tactile sensation, then we get one of the best touchpads.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Also equipped with a 17 HP ZBook trackpoint. It is a strain joystick located between keys «G», «B» and «H». For most people, it is an unnecessary element in the laptop, but for the real professionals – just a godsend. And the thing is that the work of this body of management requires long-term habituation and training.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Under the touch-sensitive surface located mouse button related to the touchpad, and above it – to the trackpoint. A total of three pieces on each side, and the center button is used to scroll. All of them are pressed gently and smoothly.

To protect your data stored on the laptop, underneath the keyboard on the right side is located a fingerprint scanner.

Performance – HP ZBook 17

Our grade HP ZBook 17 (F0V53EA) comes with a preinstalled operating system Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). As the processor it uses a pretty popular quad Intel Core i7-4700MQ . It is built on the architecture Haswell (22 nm), and its clock frequency can range from 2.4 GHz to 3.4 GHz (3.2 GHz with four active cores, 3.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz, two at a running kernel). Also feature Hyper-Threading, which allows you to process up to eight threads simultaneously. Maximum TDP of 47 watts. As for the cache in the third level, then the Intel Core i7-4700MQ its 6 MB.

While usually the main component of the laptop is the processor, then for professional workstations is likely to graphics card. In HP ZBook 17 installed NVIDIA Quadro K3100M . This DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.3-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. It is built on the GK104 chip and has 768 shaders. The video card has at its disposal the standard 4 GB of memory GDDR5, which operates at a frequency of 3200 MHz. As for the memory bus width, it is 256 bits. If we compare the performance of NVIDIA Quadro K3100M with conventional graphics cards, you can put it on a par with the GTX 765M . But it is worth noting that the Quadro series graphics cards offer certified drivers that are optimized for performance and stability in professional applications, such as, for example, CAD or DCC. Consequently, the performance of a Quadro OpenGL is significantly better than the GeForce with the same characteristics.

Against the background of a powerful quad-core processor and a discrete graphics professional, the presence of only 4 GB of RAM in our configuration seems to be insufficient. However, this is misleading, as this volume would be enough to run a successful and most software applications, including highly specialized, which are designed, for example, for modeling. Available memory of DDR3 running at 1600 MHz. For those who are such a volume is not enough, it is possible to install additional memory strips, only HP ZBook 17 has 4 slots.

In this configuration storage is provided a solid state drive capacity of 32 GB, which is used as a cache, and hard disk size of 750 GB. By the way, the latter has a pretty good speed and without additional SSD, as the speed of rotation of the spindle it is 7200 rev / min, and it is connected via a high-speed connector SATA III.

Ports and Communications – HP ZBook 17

Mobile Workstation is simply obliged to have a rich set of ports to allow the simultaneous connection of an increasing number of devices. Fortunately HP ZBook 17 in this regard is not deprived. Large side faces of this laptop let it put on their boards ports and connectors, while maintaining the ease of use and ergonomics. So on the right side, you can find two USB 3.0, video output VGA, combo audio jack, card reader format SD, as well as an optical drive DVD +/- RW.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

As for the opposite side, that there is a fairly specific set of communication, which includes slot Express Card, slot for smart cards, video DisplayPort, as well as rare port Thunderbolt. In addition, on the left side houses USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and Kensington lock and a large ventilation grille.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Power connectors and LAN are located on the back edge of the corners.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

On the front edge of the notebook, close to the left side is a row of LEDs, including: status indicator Wireless indicator of the laptop, the battery status and hard drive activity.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Also worth noting is a connector for a docking station, which is on the bottom of the notebook.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

Wireless module and Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 combines Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n and Bluetooth 4.0.

Battery – HP ZBook 17

Of course, the professional laptop must have at its disposal a fairly capacious battery, which can provide decent battery life. In our case, an 8-cell lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 75 Wh. By the way of comparison, the model Dell Precision M6800 battery is 97 Wh.

Review of the HP ZBook 17

With regard to the duration of the battery, the HP ZBook 17 can run for almost three hours in reading mode and surf the web. When watching a video, this figure may increase to four and a half hours. But at full load, this laptop can last just over an hour, as a powerful graphics card and processor consumes a lot of energy.

If you are not satisfied with the duration of the autonomous operating time, it is possible to equip this notebook additional external battery. To choose HP offers battery capacity of 73 Wh and 100 Wh, which will increase the time before recharging twice.

Conclusion – HP ZBook 17

HP ZBook 17 is a bright representative of a class of mobile workstations. It is built on the classical scheme, which includes a high-performance, reliable, practical design, and superior ergonomics. As to the first, then a bunch of quad-core Intel Core i7-4700MQ and professional graphics card NVIDIA Quadro K3100M solves all relevant, not only specialized, task. Beauty notebook is of course a subjective parameter, but here as practicality and durability, then it is possible to note the high build quality HP ZBook 17 and reliability of its materials. Speaking of ergonomics, I would like first of all to note a rich set of ports through which you can simultaneously connect a large number of additional devices.

But do not forget that HP ZBook 17 though good, yet highly specialized laptop that costs more than $ 2,000. And if you plan to use this device as a replacement for a desktop or a gaming laptop, then perhaps it will not be the best solution, since it is primarily designed to work and solve complex problems related to graphics processing.

LG’s mobile division has long refused to release tablets, focusing solely on smartphones. But time does not stand still. It was learned that the Korean company has registered several trademarks related, including mobile devices.

Interestingly, all the gadgets and services that are hidden under new brand names start with the letter “G”. As we know, LG has recently announced that the G-line will now include all the hi-end smartphones of the company ( the new flagship G2 will be a pioneer .) Thus, all other G-top devices is expected characteristics.

So, here’s what registered trademarks Korean manufacturer:

GPad. It is logical to assume that under this brand will be produced tablets. Apple dominance in this market is not, and the Android OS has become much more popular than it was during the first tablet LG.

G Watch. Yes, LG does not want to miss the opportunity to market “wearable devices.” As you know, the “smart” watches are developing all the major IT-companies, including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung. LG have a great chance to release a watch that will be most compatible with its own smartphones.

G Glass. It can be assumed that the Korean manufacturer is planning to release its own points of the computer, such as Google Glass (also a very promising direction.)

G Link. Under this brand is likely to be hiding a “cloud” service, a wireless “mirror” content from their mobile devices in the “cloud” storage, or something like that.

G Band. “Wearable” gadget for people involved in sports is associated with a smartphone (something like the Nike Fuelband).

G Hub. App Store LG, integrating all its gadgets, including TVs.

As you can see, LG seriously expects to create their own full-fledged ecosystem based on Android. What happens, we will know for sure in the next few years.
