Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery
After Microsoft showed it’s willing to make its operating system open for ARM chips, is clear that Intel has to do something and make its chips compatible with more widespread operating systems (“you took my lunch, I’ll steal your desert” kind of policy). And that something is, of course, opening up for Android, as some prototypes of Intel Oak Trail Atom tablets running the aforementioned OS were displayed for demo at Computex 2011.
The Oak Trail series is not something new (read our first mention about it here), but a fully functional Android tablet powered by one is news. Sure, the devices shown by Compal are in a very early stage, as hardware is concerned, and also run an unoptimized version of Android. How unoptimized? Well, according to some texts done on the fly, the Caffeine Javascript test runs about four times slower on that Oak Trail CPU than your average Tegra 2 ARM SoC (System on a Chip).
Sure you can say that Intel is toast, but it’s not uncommon for early samples to be quite sluggish, as was the case with this demo unit. Probably it’s not the way Intel wanted to make its first appearance in the ARM territory, but we’ll never know, right? And to prove my point, the Sunspider test ran quite a bit faster on the Oak Trail tablet prototype than on the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer, which means there’s lots of headroom for improvement once Intel starts tweaking things.
One thing we’ll definitely have to analyze is batterylike Hp Mini 311 battery , Hp Pavilion dm1 battery , Hp Pavilion dm2 battery , Hp Pavilion dm3 battery , Hp Pavilion dv6300 battery , Hp HSTNN-OB0L battery , Hp VG586AA battery , Hp ProBook 4510s battery , Hp NZ375AA battery , Hp HSTNN-IB89 battery , Hp HSTNN-1B1D battery , Hp HSTNN-1B52 battery performance, as current ARM chips are a lot more power efficient than Intel’s x86 faster competitors, but in mobile devices performance-per-watt is not always the best measure, as plain battery life is what matters most.
The conclusion? Wait till retail products with the Oak Trail Atom CPUs start to appear and get reviewed.
As you can see for yourself, the Gigabyte T1125N netvertible uses the first generation Intel Core i5 Low Voltage CPU. It’s not exactly the most powerful tablet out there, but is among the best for the 11.6 inch form factor, providing adequate performance for daily tasks. You won’t be able to run too many games on this one, but occasionally the Nvidia GeForce 330M will allow you to enjoy older titles if you chose adequate settings. I wish Gigabyte would have went for a speedier hard drive, not a 5400 RPM model, but that’s something most manufacturers opt for, even if the price gain is just a few dollars (this is another mystery for me).
The Gigabyte T1125N is no different from the other netvertibles of the T1000 Series that use Atom CPUs except the slightly bigger body. The sames chiclet/island keyboard is present and the largish touchpad with unified button bar. The real novelty is the docking port that allows the T1125N to connect to the docking station that brings more ports to the back of the base. Also the optical USB DVD drive can be plugged directly into the docking station itself (or in one of the USB ports of the netvertible). When all those things are mounted nicely on your desk all you need is a keyboard+mouse combo and a big monitor to turn everything into a true desktop solution.
Sure you might want to add some speakers, as the default ones on the Gigabyte T1125N are not that loud and don’t feature bass, even if the four speakers feature THX sound enhancements.
