In small form - and this is an understatement - in the first half of 2012, the French challenger in touch, Archos, back on the market with not a slate, but a range of touch tablets composed of three products price reasonable, the XS series. Just formalized and available for sale in the month of September, the Archos 101 XS is the spearhead of the range, it offers the performance of the more upscale of the trio, a format comfortable (10.1 inches) when it comes to the keyboard. We were able to test our premises: verdict!

 

Package Contents

This is one of the main strengths of Archos XS: be supplied with a complete accessory pack. Well, almost, except for some minor details. The 101 XS, like its counterparts in smaller sizes, is supplied with the Dell 312-0079 Battery accessory essential that the purchase price of the tablet could suggest optional: the keyboard, which is also shell protection for display. Although a HDMI port is associated with the tablet, no ad hoc cable is not provided, but we still find a USB / micro USB and a charger which is attached another micro USB cable. Good news for travelers: games international plug (UKandU.S.) are an appearance in this pack. The whole is adorned with white, the color of the tablet. Archos would not want to read it, but one can not help but think of Apple accessories immaculate ... It's pretty anyway, and harmonized with the tablet can not appreciate.

                     

 

Design

The Archos 101 XS displays dimensions of 273 x 170 x 8 mm to about 600 grams, which is quite suitable for this type of product, compared to the competition. This is of course the design itself has relied Archios, combining a white hull with a metallic gray and keyboard of the same color, both very smooth, in the absence of sensor at the rear (to Actually, that is not lacking, as taking pictures with a tablet is mission impossible) and with slightly recessed side buttons (power and volume, right). If the Dell Y085C Battery set has a sleek design, we regret finishing slightly below our expectations, the fault including a coating that is scratch quickly ... and white, hard to be discreet. Damage, especially as the presence of Coverboard we hope we did spend a protective cover. More subjective, all leaves us skeptical about its overall strength, even if we can not appreciate the connection between the magnetic keyboard and tablet, and the presence of a crutch integrated keyboard.

                                                      

                       

  

                                                 

                        

 

 

To return to this Coverboard, several comments are in order: during our test, we enjoyed the format, complete with all the keys of a computer keyboard, plus some shortcuts Android: Back, Search, Access to Settings, Multitasking, Home, and adjust the volume or brightness. Although the keys are small, and the rubber edge not the most comfortable, but after all, he is not here a real netbook. One can not help but look for a wrist rest worthy of the name or a touchpad, but Dell XX337 Battery better eventually leave more space for keys, sensitive enough to be pleasant to use ... Especially for small hands. Note that it is possible to charge the tablet via the keyboard (itself without battery) via its micro USB port, and hold the tablet screen without it disengages said keyboard. Better still do not go too hard, or lose a few pieces on the road, which is a globally Coverboard its promises.

                                                

 

General use

As a definition of 1280 x 800 pixels on a 10.1-inch screen, the Archos 101 XS stands in the middle of the shelves mid-ranges, except the iPad. Its MVA offers a detailed and good viewing angles. It may, however, blamed an average brightness (in the absence of light sensor, we appreciate even more the possibility to adjust this setting as needed from the keyboard) and a frame slightly visible. Nothing really handicapping however, the HD being put on a slab quite correct.

 

As for performance, Archos has not gone on the side of the quad-core power, preferring to equip its tablet chip dual-cpre (ARM Cortex A9) clocked at 1.5 GHz associated with a 1 GB RAM standard on Android : It is not here a racing competition for scanning benchmarks, or to turn into tablet hard gamer. Android Ice Cream Sandwich without overlay, the X595C Battery provides access to most features, and does so without difficulty. Google certified (unlike Arnova brand), she embarks native applications flagship Google (Gmail Maps, Navigation, Google+, etc..), And we also found a pack office "OfficeSuite" to create documents , convenient for users who will use the tablet semi-professional. A pause by the browser, not the fastest in the latest versions of Archos tablets: here, the application knows a marked improvement, with a display of pages fast and efficient multitouch zoom.

                                  

It is at the Archos multimedia brings home his touch to the tablet, since the brand's hexagonal slate includes a package of applications dedicated to lovers of music and videos. We forget the capture side, since the 101 XS is satisfied with a webcam, although HD, facade, to proceed to the reading. Formats are automatically included many, since in the audio world, you will find MP3, WAV, the AAC, AAC + 5.13, OGG Vorbis and FLAC same. For more demanding, it will put the WU946 Battery hand holding to get the plug-in vested in AC3 5.1. In video playback application Archos offers a search tool subtitle data or videos (casting, release date, etc.).. Something to avoid tedious search, again with formats compatible enough: AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MGP, PS, TS, VOB, MKV, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, H.264 HD, mpeg4. Only thing that comes complete package of features stain: a range of 6 to 7 hours video or WiFi. Nothing unusual about that.

Finally, note a full pack of connectors, including in particular a microSD slot, a mini HDMI output, but also and especially a USB host port, convenient for unloading on the shelf a memory card, for example.

 

Conclusion

Unfortunately pursued by a brand to lag behind its competitors, Archos has clearly provided an extra effort with his tablet 101 XS. If it is regrettable finish or average range, we can appreciate a complete product offering the advantages of a tablet / netbook for a fee of € 379 associated with a 16 GB tablet Not as W341C Battery qualitative its competitors (Asus Transformer, to name it), but offset by a software interesting and the promise of an update to Android Jelly Bean, the latest Archos offers an attractive price. Maybe even enough to be forgiven its shortcomings.

About Batteries

The Li particle battery of your laptop provides power once there's no outlet out there. The battery is within the battery bay is equipped mechanically with the pc. The Li particle batteries last longer than typical batteries and replace less ofttimes. To double the lifetime of the battery, AN facultative second battery are often put in within the standard bay. The Li particle batteries don't have any "memory effect" of batteries nickel metal binary compound (NiMH) batteries, or nickel-cadmium (NiCd). it's not necessary to totally discharge the battery Li particle before recharging. A Li particle battery "forgets" its not full load threshold. NiMH and NiCD might not absolutely charge if they're not flat once recharging.

Other energy-saving options, like suspend mode, stop the majority system activity. they permit you to maximize energy savings once your work is interrupted. Experiment with energy saving functions to attain the optimum energy savings for the setting.

Turning on the pc

To turn on the pc, press the ability button. (See Figure one "Introduction").

NOTE: If the package of your laptop is "frozen", that is it doesn't answer commands, press the ability button and keep it ironed for a minimum of 5 seconds for the off.

 

 

APPLE - iPad mini, for what use and especially ... for what audience? Output without mobilization on Friday, the new Apple tablet is available from Friday, November 2, bringing with her a lot of questions, especially in terms of use. We grip. We will briefly review the specifications. The iPad mini shines through the presence of its A5 processor, which equips the iPad 2 already on the market in March 2011. As well tell you right now, it is enough for all the games and applications available. A higher power that is of interest to a larger machine.

 

 

The screen is 7.9 inches and has a resolution of 1024x768. For comparison, here are the main competitors of the mini Apple Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7-inch, 1024x600) HD Kindle Fire (7 inch, 1024x600) Nexus 7 (7-inch, 1280x800).

It remains in the same range, nothing very new.

Grip: a great success
The advantage of the iPad mini overhaul of the iPhone 5, with a shell "unibody" aluminum. It's beautiful, it's light, but it is fragile. Station scratch for those carry their tablet in a purse.Unlike the iPad classic, the edges are much smaller thereby leaving a beautiful place on the screen. We regret, however, that it does not carry the technology "Retina" own other iPad, iPhone and MacBook and iMac now. The regulars of this screen level will be disappointed. This will require the next update, which can be reasonably anticipated in 6 to 10 months.

 

Regarding the size of the iPad mini, one might think that this format will find its audience. Very light (310 grams against 660 grams for a classic version) and transportable in a small bag, it is perfect for travelers or consumers touchpads in transit. Users of electronic books now have at their disposal an object that no longer suffer from the weight after a few minutes.

 

Our opinion: for those traveling light, not yet a tablet
This is a nice product, but it lacks innovation. It fits a standard in a smaller format, which should not push iPad owners bought at the price of gold to renew. Because yes, the iPad mini is expensive, very expensive. Count 339 euros for the 16GB version, and up to 674 euros for the ultimate (64 GB and 3G networking). The Nexus 7, co-developed by Google and Asus, is much more accessible: from 199 euros for 16GB

Beyond the financial aspect (yes, it's hard), the iPad mini will appeal to aficionados of the ecosystem of iOS, the mobile operating system from Apple, as well as those who have yet tablet. But take a tour of the competition before cracking this product star Christmas 2012.

Introduction

 

Writing 59Hardware this week offers a test case MaxInPower, distributed by BCP France, simply called Mini-ITX, whose design reminds no doubt the Antec ISK 110 VESA (tested here) and Case A + Cupid One. Support he compared to its inspiration? This is the question that we intend to respond by raising the noise emitted during operation, as well as the internal temperatures of the main components.

 

External presentation

The housing MaxInPower if soberly called Mini-ITX is a steel form factor mini-ITX (Oh my God, what a surprise ...) and mini-ITX only (incompatible micro-ATX, ATX pico-etc. Etc.). Necessarily small, it measures 239 mm in length, 185 mm width and 70 mm in thickness. Front (made of plastic), there are two USB 2.0 ports, two audio jacks, the   Dell Inspiron 1300 Battery  power button and the hatch for slim optical drive. The mini-ITX case MaxInPower does not strictly speaking slot fan, even if it is delivered with a 40 mm PWM fan, which will unable to use the top vent visible on the photo above, because impeded by the support for HDD. The bundle contains therefore a 40 mm fan and four screws, a mains power four rubber feet stickers, four screws for the motherboard, four for slim optical disc, four 2.5-inch hard drive and a clamp. It will be appreciated, however, the presence of a water SATA small size (285 mm taken included) and an adapter for the slim drive, usually sold separately.

 

Interior presentation

With a removable drawer that can be mounted on the single 2.5 inch hard disk and slimline optical drive (like the Cupid One), it also incorporates a low power supply (60W). It includes a switch and two connectors Power LED, and HDD Power a Molex plug, a plug SATA, 4-pin EPS plug the power outlet and the motherboard 20/24 pin. It should be added that the slim optical drive bay can accommodate a second 2.5-inch disk. The back cover of the motherboard can not be returned after being removed, which adds a small side definitely "cheap" to the thing. Note the presence of a 40 mm fan in the bundle, fan appropriate setting according to your discretion with four screws in the vents present on both sides of the case. We also note the presence of a third ventilation opening on the upper side of the housing,  Dell Studio 1558 Battery consisting of a square of 55 mm side.

 

Mounting

Needless to say, as it is a mini-ITX case, cable management possibilities are virtually nil. The motherboard takes on its mounting by means of a fastening system by screw struts. The space between the card and its support is very limited, it is impossible to move some cables, even the finest, below. It should then connect all power cables: EPS, 20/24 Pin Power button, USB ports, audio jacks on the front ... No significant problems to report, for example, unlike the Antec ISK 110, cable EPS is the right length. You will finally fix your (your) disk (s) drive (s) and / or your slim optical drive. Do not hesitate to try several possibilities as some edges of the support may interfere with insertion of power plugs or screwing operations. The final step to use many clamps helps facilitate the flow of air within the housing, particularly as the single fan of the entire configuration is that the central processor (4 cm).

 

 

 Dell Studio 1555 Battery lacks expansion slot for the mini-ITX case MaxInPower we do not have license to operate the PCI-Express motherboard. Before closing this chapter on installation, it should also be pointed that the maximum height for the cooler is 6.5 cm without support for HDD / optical drive and 3.7 with, which leaves very little scope for the choice of the internal configuration, namely motherboards integrating the CPU, such as solutions and other Intel Atom AMD Zacate. Choice that is even more restricted by the (very) low power board power supply (60W).

 

Measures

 We measured the noise emitted at 15 and 100 cm in charge as at rest, then after a session OCCT half an hour, we found the temperature inside the box to compare the temperature of the system to rest and have retained the highest values. Software testing: OCCT 4.2, Sisoft Sandra 2012 and HWMonitor

 

Statements sound:

The  Dell Latitude E6400 Battery records here show clearly that the whole remains relatively quiet, although it should be noted that the platform AMD Zacate test is not particularly energy-intensive and, therefore, it must dissipate a lot of heat.

 

Temperature readings:

The OCCT benchmark allows us to show unambiguously the limits of one 40 mm fan configuration, equipping the cooler, which involves temperature differences between the least significant operation at rest and in charge.

 

The power

The power section is from Deer Computer, a Chinese manufacturer well known, it provides plenty of power and no names other entries range. Specifications of the power supply are completely unknown despite research. Data is 60 Watts, which for the purpose of the case seems ample. The system relies on an external block providing a continuous stream of between 12 to 14.5 volts at 5 amps for 12 volts. It is a universal block, we often find on the net with the destination, LCDs and more.

 

The PCB inside is mono-rail, this power does not embark label or certification like many of his counterparts. The  Dell XPS M1330 Battery cables are soldered directly on the same PCB, EPS derived entirely from 24-pin connector to the motherboard connector to supply the potential of that motherboard 12 Volts.

Level connectors, we count one SATA, one FDD and MOLEX dedicated devices. Note the presence of a cable for the optical drive including power and data that connects to the FDD and SATA connector on the motherboard. The length of the cord is good and enables an arrangement of cords correct for a housing of the format

  

Test Protocol

We will respond to data at rest initially, the test 1, then we will launch OCCT position "Power beg" this will be the test 2.

 

Stability tests

We begin with the 12 volt supply is our mono-rail, a single measure will suffice.

Deltas very low, largely in line with the requirements ATX.

5 and 3.3 Volts

The graphics are talking, deltas negligible.

 

Conclusion 

Overall, the food part of this case is consistent with what we expect from an input supply range. For the low energy requirements of the machine, it does not feel nearly. By the element against which we can assume is none other than longevity, because it we can not measure it.  The mini-ITX case MaxInPower turns out to be a pretty good surprise, offering a general finish above the usual standards of the Dell XPS M1530 Battery manufacturer and fairly well equipped. Equipped with a slot for the optical drive, it can combine multimedia or office use and, thanks to its small size, it can slip safely behind an HDTV or monitor. However, the final outcome is marred by a design support HDD / slim optical drive, some cuts and edges may interfere with the installation and / or the final determination of some components like HDD for example. We further add that the fineness of the steel component this support makes it very (too) flexible and you will often have to handle him regaining its original shape. As in the case of Antec ISK 110, provided you appreciate a bundle (including adapter for slim optical drive usually sold separately) and commends the efforts of MaxInPower which offers a mini-ITX case generally quite convincing and featuring a tender price rather attractive.
