Asus Laptop Up Dates

I have been asked about Asus laptop updates. You can find out more about Asus laptop updates at nextag.com. Save energy and thus increase the mobility are clearly the main criteria in designing Asus Eee PC 1101HA.
With the Intel Atom Z520 and US15W chipset (codenamed Poulsbo) with integrated graphics GMA 500 can fully view, but at the expense of processing power. With an index of dissipating TDP of only 2 watts, the Atom Z520 far exceeds the Atom N270 and N280, widely used in current netbooks, which have a TDP of 2.5 Watts.
The combination of the Atom Z520 CPU and GMA 500 adapter should not be expected in large processing capacity. 1GB of RAM completes the endowment. As expected, the Asus Eee PC 1101HA has performance comparable to the Sony Vaio VGN P12Z maple and Aspire One 751, which we already reviewed, which have similar equipment.
For example, the 1101HA reaches 888 points in PCMark05, while the Vaio VGN P21Z and the Acer Aspire One 751 represent 916 (+3%) and 692 (-22%) respectively. Since we consider the value in 3DMark 3DMark03: here 1101HA gets 418 points, in line with 425 (+2%) of Sony VGN and 413 (-1%) Aspire points. In 3DMark05 we can observe similar results with 146 points eg, 1101HA, 126 (-14%) for the Sony Vaio VGN P12Z and 136 (-7%) for the Aspire One 751.
Netbook with more conventional combinations, such as Intel Atom N270 or N280 and a GMA 950 provides much better performance according to benchmarks. In comparison, the Asus Eee PC 1005HA (N270, GMA 950, 1GB RAM) is record 1617 points in PCMark05, 82% more of the 1101HA.
Nevertheless, office automation, navigation, Skype and so are easily within reach of the 1101HA, which manages them without difficulty.
The only storage device, as you might expect, is the hard drive, a Hitachi HTS543216L9SA00 that provides 160GB of space with a rotation speed of 5400 rpm, nothing sensational.
We tested the latency by using the DPC Latency Checker on Windows XP. With latencies important observable at times, there may be synchronization problems when you have external devices connected, for example using a sound card crackles outside. The right image illustrates the problems.
The Eee PC 1101HA is very quiet, reaching a maximum of 31.2dB (A) at idle or low loads. With heavier loads becomes relatively more noisy, with a peak of 37.2 dB (A). Overall it is a silent machine that produces a pleasant sound at low frequencies.
The machine warms up in a little noticeable, both in the area of the keyboard at the bottom. Even with intensive use, the upper reaches to the maximum 34.3 °, while the bottom is a bit 'cooler, with a maximum of 31.1 °. Working with the laptop on the legs raises particular concerns.
Asus promises up to 11 hours of battery life on your site. This is true for machines equipped with 6-cell battery with 63Wh lithium ion battery. Models with the version 48Wh, as the sample tested, provide up to 9.5 hours of use without charge.
