1.1 kg TCL appeared thin and light notebooks catching up X40

I recall a time when IBM has just released X40 It is so amazing, so everyone worship IBM laptop Inspiron 8600 also went to the extent of faith. However, on the end of the year in 2004, a Chinese-made notebook reached lighter featherweight weight, with battery only 1.1Kg, get on the weight of the throne of home-made notebook, also in the forefront in the international brand.

TCL A10 notebooks use low-voltage Intel Pentium M 1.0GHz processor, motherboard chipset used for the Intel 855GM, integrated graphics chip, up to 64MB shared memory. Standard 256MB RAM, hard disk using ultra-thin models are now 8N544 the more popular 1.8-inch Toshiba 40GB hard drive, 12.1-inch ultra-thin LCD screen, external COMBO drive, no additional power supply. Machine with the battery, weighing only 1.1Kg, the thinnest at only 14.9 millimeters, the most at only 20.1 millimeters thick.

In order to achieve the objectives of the most frivolous, A10 on the use of a number of advanced materials and technology. With cap, for example, A10 use of magnesium alloy roof is only 0.9 mm thick magnesium alloy high-strength characteristics of low-density, making A10 the screen cap to meet the demand based on the thin and light, but also to provide sufficient protection for LCD screen . Champagne cap with the silver keyboard wrist rest set off each other very fashionable. Four corners of the fuselage and the A10, mouse button, the screen design of roof arc are used to offset some of the cold metal Inspiron 8500 texture, people willing to close. Taking into account the temperature and other important indicators, A10 use the fan directly with the combination of magnesium alloy chassis designed to enhance heat dissipation through the chassis capacity to good effect.

Some time ago, domestic notebook also appeared in a 1.3Kg notebook - Amoi V3, with TM 8600 1GHz Transmeta processor, 256MB DDR RAM, 40GB hard drive, ALi chipset, 10'4-inch widescreen display , 32MB of dedicated video memory Latitude D800 ATI radium 9000 graphics, the whole weight of 1.2Kg. Compared with the TCL A10, Transmeta 1G performance not as good as Centrino 1G, but obviously form TCL also prevail, 12-inch LCD screen can guarantee the font size comfort. V3 uses a discrete graphics card configuration a bit strong, but used in a small 10.6-inch widescreen, the match is not reasonable. The TCL A10 with 1.8-inch hard drive, not a small impact on system performance, the author suggested that expanded to 512MB of memory to make up for lack of hard drive.

I thought the notebook using Transmeta processor, the price can be an advantage, but that is not the case, Amoi V3 notebook priced at around Laptop Battery 9500. TCL A10 The price of the upcoming notebooks geometry, we will wait and see.
