After the test version of the GTX 675 M, this is the Ultimate version of GT70 is happening now at the farm, and with it, the new GTX 680 M Nvidia Kepler. A map on paper, looks very very bad. What performance can we expect from this new version of the Dell Latitude E6400 Battery ? Response in our columns.

We continue tested MSI machines, and by the way, the latest graphics cards from Nvidia M. Today is the last chain link upscale chameleon that we test, the GTX 680 M, a model which, for once, is derived from Kepler.

Above all, the technical characteristics of the beast:

Limp in the beautiful, we have the bundle, which includes: a backpack MSI black and red mouse for Gamer, various booklets (manual, warranty, first use), the license Seven, and the charger, rather very large . The bundle is quite big, it's good.

Nothing changes here, our GT70 is still and always the same. Its measurements of 428 x 288 x 55 mm and weight of 3.9 pounds affirmation that we are facing a transportable with battery. In short, the archetype of Gamer notebook.

For a laptop Dell Inspiron N4010 Battery that wants Gamer, you'll see that closed, it is rather the discretion that is not displeasing to us. The top cover is mainly made of brushed aluminum and MSI logo is attached as a chrome lettering. On the sides, there is the matte black plastic of high quality, which has worked well and is of different ways: smooth, glittery finish or brushed aluminum. Some shapes and edges are present, but is nothing very extravagant. The GT70 is very simple, like its cousins.

At the front of the GT70, we diodes activity with: Bluetooth, Wifi, load, watch and hdd activity.

On the left side of the GT70 are: two input lines, a microphone input, headphone output (all with gold plated connectors), USB 3.0, card reader 7 in 1, two USB 3.0 ports and finally a large ventilation grille.

At the rear, there was again a large air vent, with his little sister fictitious, HDMI output, an E-SATA jack, VGA output, Ethernet in 1000, the DC-IN and finally Kensington Lock.

It ends on the right with the Blu Ray / DVD burner that does not EJECT button, and is followed by two new USB 2.0 ports.

Below, we have: 4 large rubber feet, a light gray grille that hides the Sub, a large removable cover that hides the configuration and finally the Dell Inspiron N5010 Battery, 9-cell model of 7800 mA 87 Wh.

Under the cover, which protects the bowels of the beast, we can see: 1 Western Digital 750 GB HDD 7200 trs, the GTX 680m 4GB GDDR5 in his sarcophagus and three aluminum heatpipes, the 3610 QM under his aluminum radiator and heat pipes, the fan will extract the hot air from all that, the memory 1600 MHz and the Great Raid, which takes the form of a PCB which hosts two m-Sata SSD 64GB Sandisk RAID 0.

The opening screen is simply pulling it upwards. The two hinges, good size, good strength and deliver a good retention of the screen. The slab rests in a glossy black frame and matt which includes a webcam P. 720 Micro is associated with a webcam. The slab has the widescreen resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full HD so. Treatment of the slab is dull, and rendering the latter is rather good for the morning, with viewing angles than good. In the lower part are: Power On, the hotkeys, HP Pavilion DM4 Battery, keyboard and touchpad.

First a word on the webcam, which delivers a fairly basic model for 720p.

Now let the rest and especially the keyboard is a big part. It measures 34.7 x 10.5 cm, and key features mostly 1.5 x 1.5 cm. It is AZERTY, is chiclet type and features a SteelSeries logo. It is fully backlit, backlight and is fully configurable, with 3 zones, and no less than 7 colors and 5 shades per color. Suffice to say that you can make your custom keyboard. Now to the Fn button will: switch the display, turn off the HP 484170-001 Battery touchpad, configure a function to your liking, go into ECO mode, activate the Webcam, Wifi enabled, Bluetooth enabled, go to sleep, increase the brightness (9 levels, from low to good), increase / decrease / mute. Under the keyboard, near the touchpad, another key will disable the touchpad. Let us talk about this keyboard. Well, quite honestly, it is probably one of the best chiclet we've seen so far. The keys offer excellent meeting and especially the rigidity of the keyboard is flawless, even in the center. In short, it is a keyboard top marmoset.

The touchpad now: it measures 8.5 x 4.5 cm. It has vertical and horizontal lifts, offers good glide but slightly rough and clicks are good, but requires a bit of strength left. Overall, this is not bad.

It ends with the buttons above the keyboard, we have: Power On, which takes the form of a shield again, then touch keys for quick access. The P1 button that you can program the way you want, the Cinema Pro button, the button "Boost Cooler" which allows the laptop to ventilate MAX button backlight keyboard, hotkey WiFi and bluetooth, Press "Display" to extinguish it, and then the eject button of the optical drive.

Once running, we discover the different diodes in shades of red, the red backlit keyboard, and the slab that offers a really good record. The machine starts in a good silence, and once again we congratulate MSI and DynAudio for the audio portion, which is once again completely baffling for a portable machine. It has treble, mid, bass, a little power and excellent made. Bravo bravo.

For some CPU, HDD, SSD, it does not change base. The Dell Inspiron 14R CPU is a Core i7 3610 QM, so the Ivy Bridge family. It runs at 2.3 GHz base and 3.3 GHz in Turbo on a single core. It is engraved in 22 nm, gets 8 MB of L3 cache and has a TDP of 45 watts. Then, to support the processor found a chipset HM77 and 3 x 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11. The graphic part is it very recent and 28 nm, as derived from Kepler. The GTX 680 M is offered and no less than 1344 SP, 32 ROPs, all at 771 MHz. Mémoir is the type GDDR5 256-bit, for 4 GB 3600 MHz. Faced with 580 million, we have the right to a big change, because we are this time on a GTX 670 Desktop equivalent at lower speeds.

At the CPU and RAM, we see that we are in the middle, with a machine that normally score of 3610 QM 12GB of DDR3 1600 MHz. On the GPU, once again we say that we suffer too young BETA drivers and software too old, because 680 million can not do better than the 580 million in this fiscal year. By cons, facing the generation 6xx M, we see that the 680 takes the lead.

In PC Mark Vantage which wants more time, the logic is respected. Our new GT70 takes first place at all levels, except at the SSD, but only slightly. We see here that the entire machine is able to override all other models. Even the GPU score progresses, good news for the games to come.

Let's start with the Dell Latitude E5420 Battery SSD. SUB HD Tune, we find an average of 617.7 MB / sec to a maximum of 753.1 MB / s and 378.6 MB / sec minimum, while reading. Large MB / sec, especially as we 64KB access time, because RAID is higher than on a conventional SSD with 0322 ms. It is far from a 16.7 ms HDD. ATTO as a minimum, the Super RAID sends strong, with 58 MB / sec write and 74 MB / sec minimum. Max, we have the 396 MB / sec write and 975 MB / sec reading. In short, it works hard, but the Super RAID is not always constant, we see that 16 KB, flange reading it, probably because of Shunk Size.

In Crystal, sequentially, there is 895 MB / sec read and 366 MB / sec writing. In 512 KB, down on a lot with 230 MB / sec read and 30 MB / sec writing. 4-KB, we are 16 MB / sec read and 18 MB / sec writing. These figures are not the best, but are much higher than HDD. MSI offers an interesting solution technically, but it is not perfect.

 

A word on the HDD storage, which provides 4 MB / sec read / write minimum 128 MB / sec for reading and writing to the max, which is satisfactory.

And also move to 3D, indicating once again that we use BETA drivers, which do not yet far from the onboard graphics in the Dell Inspiron E1505 Battery.

In 2006, we have more than 1400 points compared to the 675 million, 3,000 points compared to 670 million and no less than 5350 point towards the 580 M. The scores thus progressing in the right direction and in Vantage , it becomes even more account of the advantage offered by this new CG, which provides 25% of perfs in addition with respect to the M. .. 675 and almost 30% against the 580 M. .. In 3D Mark 2011, you see, the score is almost double the 675 M and 580 M. Is it necessary to specify more things? In the 3D Mark, the 680 million strong market, especially in the latest versions of the bench.

In game, there are pretty much in the same situation. The game is more recent, the more FPS climb.

SF4 rest may be the best-evident because the framerate is huge base. By cons, and towards the 675 M, as soon as you pass under Dirt2, the score explodes, as in TrackMania, where we are almost 50% more ... Dirt under 3.0, it is some 33% better in Crysis 2 and 42%, no less. And that we are still with BETA drivers ...

Level of autonomy, this is a great surprise, especially in load or GT70 is 1 h 40, which is pretty impressive. In the office, you can count of5 h 43 minutes ... Impressive.

Clearly, it heats, we can not say otherwise. But for the moment, difficult to draw a true balance because of its CG is not supported.

By cons, we can tell you one thing, the PC is very silenieux in office, but over the helmet is mandatory. However, the noise level is not higher than with the GT70 in 675 M.

Conclusion

Broadly, you already know the conclusion of this article, because we know this laptop Dell Inspiron 17R Battery in wide and across, through many variations that we have already tested. That day we had the right to the cream of the cream, and we can say we are not disappointed, because the performance is more than first class, thanks to the 680 million who enjoys overpowering all other components upscale the GT70. Autonomy is the same satisfactory 17.3 inches of this type. For cons, the GT70 is clearly audible in charge, and above all, it is expensive, very expensive, very expensive, € 2,299 in advertised price.

While on October 29, the Nexus 4 was a little feature Google ads, nobody missed the first tablet 10 "Samsung in partnership with Google. Because the new tablet from the Korean manufacturer and search engine offers a 10 "screen with a resolution of 300dpi, doing better than the Apple iPad 4 Retina display.

Shipping Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, Google's new tablet has the latest news as the support of multi-user widgets on the home screen or the famous Butter Project, which streamlines the user interface. But Google did not stop in so good way since the Mountain View company offers from 399 € in its 16GB WiFi.

While the mode of Android tablets and smartphones is quad-core, you might be surprised by the choice of Samsung and Google to integrate a "simple" dual-core. However, it should put things in their place because it is still a Cortex-A15 and after use, there was not much to complain about since the load is perfectly plus resolution record of 2560 × 1600.

For a dark tale of cost, you will have no option 3G/3G + / H +. Now, you never know, maybe the duo Google / Samsung will offer a day like the duo Google / Asus announced that, at the same time that Nexus 10, a Nexus 7 3G. Note the presence of the GPS while the tablet is only WiFi. This may seem trivial for Android users, but I remind you that the WiFi models of the iPad and iPad mini does not offer unfortunately no GPS!

The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Battery side of the packaging, I must say that Google is not in the original since found in a box like the one in the Nexus 7 tablet, USB cable for syncing and charging and obviously AC charger. Found beside an instruction manual for a first grip. And no, the packaging is not as "tight" as the Nexus 7. For the record, during the summer release of the Nexus 7, Asus had the good sense to provide packaging so tight that some had difficulty opening the box, presumably to prolong the pleasure of unpacking.

Design

It is all a matter of taste, but for my part, I do not like the design of the Nexus 10, proposed by Google and Samsung. Once in hand, it goes a little better, but I have a little trouble with this well-rounded design. We thus note that apart from the screen, the Nexus 10 offers no straight line edges are slightly curved. For cons, I was pleasantly surprised by the finish. Used plastic from Samsung, I do not expect to find this finish "soft-touch" and mat. Nice in hand, it has the advantage to grab a bit your pants to prevent him from slipping off your thighs when you use it in a meeting. By cons, attention to dust more easily remain on the Nexus 10 Nexus 7. For the rest of the design, she is wearing black and silver designs it changes or other with a silver border. It's pretty funny because we note in the design of family resemblance with the Galaxy Tab from Samsung.

Side weight, the Nexus 10 is part of the average with 603g. With its 16/10, it is well in hand and I found it pleasant to use with weight evenly distributed, better than some of its competitors. With its "soft-touch", it seems it could be anti-shock, it is not at all, not at all the case.

We thus find in the front 10 "screen with a resolution of 2560 × 1600, two speakers, one left and one to the right of the screen HD. Because it's Android 4.x Stock, there is no physical or sensory buttons. The video camera is obviously at the top of the screen when you hold the tablet in landscape mode and offers a resolution of 1.9 Megapixel. As for the Nexus 7 and because it is a Google product, it should be noted that the tablet Google makes no mention of a mark on the front, by cons, we appreciate the notification LED at the bottom of the Dell Latitude E4300 screen .

At the back, there is therefore the back mat "soft touch" with the Nexus logo in the middle and Samsung bottom. As I have already said, it is very pleasant to touch. Otherwise, the top of the tablet when you hold it in landscape mode, you will find the top 5 Megapixel camera with flash. In the demarcated by the NPC, you also have a two microphones tablet.

On the high side are two volume buttons and the power button and / or standby. On the left spine, you'll have a Micro-HDMI output, while on the right spine, there will be a mini-jack 3.5 mm and Micro-USB port for sync / charge. It ends on the lower layer which offers the second microphone and a connection for the arrival later a dock.

HD screen and Sound

With Inspiron 1520 PLS LCD panel (IPS is LG, PLS is Samsung) and a diagonal of 10 ", the Nexus 10 offers an impressive resolution of 2560 × 1600 with a density of 300dpi, which is better (I mean resolution) than its direct competitor in the wonderful world of tablets, the Apple iPad. Android will ensure display of 1280 × 800 viewable surface, a bit like the iPad's 1024 × 768 display while the native resolution is 2048 × 1536.

Quite honestly, on tablet, Nexus 10 offers simply one of the best screens on the market and with a price starting at only € 399. If I put it in first, it is thanks to its resolution that blew me away. Needless to say, the user interface, text and other icons are a diabolical subtlety. In addition, the management of Android fonts, everything is perfectly clean, even in non-optimized applications. Remember, this was not the case with the arrival of the iPad Retina, we had to wait for updates to applications to take advantage of the Retina display.

Because it is not an AMOLED screen, contrasts not compete with those on the screens of Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2. By cons, for color fidelity is much better without achieving the best on the market. For cons, I noticed a rather low luminosity compared to the competition. Note that I speak Vostro 1310 Battery of the maximum power.

For sound, a bit like the BlackBerry Playbook, I find pleasant having the speakers in front and not in a slice or back. Suddenly, everything seemed clearer, stronger. Obviously, if you want better sound, external speakers, headphones or earphones are your friends ...

Use, Performance

After testing 4 and Nexus Nexus 7, I think we did a tour of Android 4.2. It should be noted some subtle changes on the tablet of 10 ". On Nexus 10, you will have the right to two task bars, one for notifications that you will descend from the left half of the screen and the other with the shortcut WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.., Since the right half of screen. It is not much in itself, but it is quite pleasant to use.

On the Nexus 4, I did not specifically used the famous "Gesture Keyboard." Well, on a shelf, it's still much more convenient to do everything with one finger to try typing with both thumbs. Finally, there is the multi-user on the Nexus 10 which will enable you to have multiple users on the tablet. This is stupid, we already know Windows 8 and Mac OSX, but for a tablet of 10 "most often meant remained at home, it is not worse!

The inspiron 6400 battery performance side, I will admit that I was a little scared. While running the latest Android with quad-core processors, Google and Samsung have chosen a dual-core processor at 1.7 Ghz A15. In theory, an ARM Cortex-A15 is supposed competed with the current quad-core market. And fortunately for us, this is the case since I had no desire to run the latest games like Need For Speed: Most Wanted or my applications daily. While HTML5 side, the Nexus 10 is average, it's the pure side 3D Samsung tablet fared better.

Autonomy, the AFN and Visio

Well, quite honestly, I did not specifically dwelt on the APN device. This is a simple camera 5 Megapixel and even if the target is bright, it is not backlit sensor. So, it is far from that proposed recently the iPad mini, iPad and iPod touch. It's a shame. In addition, we note that the APN board will not allow you to make HDR function simply disappeared while it is present on a Nexus 4 for example.

For the video part, it is with a resolution of 1.9 Megapixel you can make Google Hangouts or Skype HD. No worries particular that side, but on the other hand, it is a bit the current standard.

Towards Dell Inspiron 1720, with 9000mAh battery and with normal use of the internet, movies, games and some music, I held a little more than 8 hours. It is far from references, but it's still not bad when you see the screen. Note that the cooldown was pretty fast, especially when compared to an iPad Retina. On the other hand, it is via USB, expect a good few hours to fully recharge the beast.

Conclusion

After an impressive 7 with Asus Nexus, Google now offers its shelf 10 "in partnership with Samsung. Without the price / quality ratio of the shelf Taiwanese Nexus 10 is conspicuous by its screen and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The problem somewhere, comes from the fact that there is not yet enough to justify a dedicated applications tablet 10 ". Both applications do not interfere stretched on a tablet 7 "However, it becomes annoying on a shelf 10" viewable area with all that lost.

With the Inspiron 1721 Battery , he remains the advantage of being a Nexus, which assures the future updates quickly. But in our opinion, it is not enough to stand out from the competition. It is time that Google starts to differentiate tablets smartphone applications and applications to enable the development of shelves 10 ". Because in the end, it is not so much competition that can scare the Nexus 10, but Google's way of not sufficiently emphasize applications dedicated to tablets.
