Portable One SX-N7350 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
The Portable One SX-N7350 is a well built 13.3" notebook that is best compared to similarly sized business models. It has a simple plastic exterior that holds up very well against scratches and other blemishes, and the sturdy screen cover protects the display from any external impacts. The performance from our configuration was excellent when compared to 12" business notebooks, but not as great when you compare its 3D performance to 13.3" consumer notebooks which have dedicated graphics. The price is high, starting at 1,000, with our configuration reaching $1,300 with its upgrades. For business users it would perform well and with its good looking screen, be perfect for working on documents during the day and enjoying movies at night.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Portable One: US-American laptop shop which sells an own brand es well as other laptop brands.
