Review of GSM-phone Elle №1 by Alcatel

Review of GSM-phone Elle №1 by Alcatel

The word design for marketers in a number of companies serves as a kind of fetish, which, in their opinion, is able to explain miscalculations in the functionality of the device, high cost, low attractiveness for the consumer. No, of course, the general trend is on the face, an increasing number of phones attract buyers precisely with their design, and secondly with their capabilities. Sometimes design takes precedence over functionality, and then it is sacrificed for the sake of the fashionable component of the device. This is typical for large manufacturers with a recognizable brand, but not for second-tier manufacturers, here they start to play by different rules and unusual design is in the order of things (this is how manufacturers actually try to stand out). It's all the more strange when Alcatel starts a project of a designer device against the backdrop of a lack of top-end solutions capable of filling such a phone. Elle magazine was chosen as a partner. According to the apt expression of my French girlfriend, – "when one French company finds another, then you should expect that in addition to deceiving each other, they will also try to heat up the buyer." But such a solution is more organic than the B&O alliance with Samsung, where the cultures are different. For example, it is enough to go to the B&O website in Russia to understand that buying the products of this “design” brand is money thrown away (look at the quality of the translation, the completeness of the site, etc.). So, two French companies got together and created a phone for Elle readers and lifestyle lovers.

The audience of this edition is girls who prefer to look at pictures a lot, think a little and buy a lot with other people's money. In terms of the marketer's description of the audience, this is a highly profitable audience, women who do not have a permanent job or occupation (the majority, although the huge circulation suggests certain thoughts). It sounds contradictory, but having a husband, a friend, a lover explains everything. Of course, ordinary girls who have not yet outlived the desire to become glamorous lapdogs have crept into the ranks of such young ladies, while for them the magazine is a kind of guide to that other world. Actually, such young ladies are the target audience of the Elle phone, for "highly profitable" women this device is rustic both in brand and in appearance, they prefer Nokia, Siemens SL55 Escada and the like.

The packaging of the phone, like the gloss of the magazine, should splurge and sell the product. This factor is well known in Elle, so the packaging of the phone looks great, a transparent blister with a simple inscription Elle No. 1, the name of the manufacturer is almost invisible, blending into the background of the box. The phone is available in two colors – black and red. In both cases, the body plastic is matte, velvety (soft touch), it is pleasant to the touch. The clamshell doors, part of the rear panel, on the contrary, are made of ordinary lacquered plastic. The kit includes a velvet pouch that can be used to wipe screens.

The dimensions of the device are quite large for a female model – 91x46x23 mm, at the same time the weight is acceptable – 90 grams. Due to the size, wearing the device around the neck is not very convenient.

A diamond-shaped insert on the front panel hides the external screen, along the edge of this insert there is a mirror surface. The decision from the standpoint of design may be justified, but common sense is clearly resting here. On the street, the mirror insert starts to glare, which crosses out the glass tint and makes the display unreadable (remember that this is an STN matrix). The screen resolution is 128×128 pixels, it displays up to 4096 colors. The display shows the time, signal level, battery charge, icons of current events. Only an incoming call or other event can activate the display when closed, the user cannot turn on the backlight in any way, there are no side keys.

Under the screen is a VGA camera lens, which is the same as in most of the company's products. In general, the device is technically similar to Alcatel C652, there are no differences between them.

Included with the device is an Elle strap with the corresponding badge. By cutting the length of the lace, it can be converted from neck to hand. On the bottom side of the device there is an infrared port, a charger connector, a headset.

You can open the clamshell with one hand, a special layer was used for the screen, it can turn into a mirror. The screen resolution is 128×160 pixels (28×36 mm), it fits up to 9 lines (4 of them are service lines). In the sun, the screen fades, which is typical for STN matrices. In a nutshell, the matrix can be described as a good solution from two years ago, now such screens are typical for budget products.

The keyboard block stands out due to the black color, the buttons are made of varnished plastic, they are medium in size. In general, the keyboard is quite comfortable, but it gives the impression of plastic from an inexpensive Chinese toy, which can be found at market collapses. The keys are sloppy, with a silver border around them, matching the color of the navigation key, plus a different color for the OK button. The designers apparently had an idea of ​​how to mix colors, but they didn’t know or didn’t want to know how to make it beautiful. In any case, this is purely a matter of taste and you can ignore my grumbling.

The battery in this model is 650 mAh lithium-ion. According to the manufacturer, it can provide up to 290 hours of standby time and up to 4 and a half hours of talk time. Under the conditions of the Moscow MTS network, the device worked for about 2 days with 35 minutes of calls, up to 20 minutes of using other functions. The operating time of the device should be considered equal to two days, more it will work only with a very small number of calls. The time to fully charge the battery is about one and a half hours.

The organization of the menu is very typical for Alcatel phones, adjusted for pre-installed wallpapers in the style of Elle, as well as another set of games that are created for this device. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the prevailing red gamut in the menu, for example, the font when typing, given the localization features, the input does not look quite adequate (thin red letters are hard to read). The main menu has only one view (previous devices up to 3 different ones) – the display shows all menu items in the form of small icons, three columns of four icons each.

The device has 3.2 MB of dynamic memory, which is distributed as needed between all applications. The menu has quick navigation using number sequences, you can also assign shortcuts to functions, then they will be available with one touch.

In the submenu, the functions are presented in lists, and they are grouped. The best way to explain this is with the example of Messages. Once in this menu, you will see a row of icons at the top, by default, Compose a message is highlighted. From the list, you can select the type of message, to view the received or sent messages, you need to move the joystick in the horizontal direction and another list will appear in front of you. At first glance, such a menu organization seems not very simple, but you quickly get used to it, it is logical and allows you to unload the menu, they do not have clutter of items, as in some models from other manufacturers. On the whole, the menu organizer makes a very good impression, all the menus are well thought out. So, in the image library there is a separate tab for pictures, a separate one for icons.

Localization of this model has remained, unfortunately, at the same level. The designations of Russian menu items have become more intelligible (the amount of memory is called power, do you like it?), But the Cyrillic font style is very different from English. Russian letters are thin, lightweight, the font is hard to see. The combination of Russian and English looks awkward due to the difference in font rendering.

Phone book. The phone memory is divided into several directories. There is a separate directory of contacts from the SIM card, by default there are three more folders – General, Work, Personal. The user can create his own directories, they serve as a kind of user groups in this machine. You can assign your own ringtone to individual folders, but you cannot do this for individual entries.

For each name, you can fill in up to 26 information fields, this is the first name, last name, up to 7 numbers, two email addresses, homepage address, nickname, date of birth, company name, position, address, city, region, postal code, country, note field and up to 4 additional information fields. The only drawback is that when adding a new contact, you will have to scroll through all the fields in sequence to get to the right one. You can't get to what you want right now. You can add voice tags to individual entries, then voice dialing of these numbers is possible. There is a search by the first letter of the name.

For each entry, you can assign a picture or a video clip from preinstalled or uploaded by the user. The machine supports the following image formats: JPG, GIF, aGIF, PNG, BMP, WBMP. Video extensions supported: 3gp (H263/AMR, MPEG4), .mp4.

In principle, there are no restrictions on the number of entries, it all depends on the amount of free memory (but not more than 500 based on the amount of memory in the device).

Messages. In addition to working with SMS, the phone supports working with EMS and MMS. Work with all messages is standard and does not cause any problems. You can add emoticons, pictures, melodies and/or bookmarks from the wap browser to the body of the message. For MMS messages, you can create several slides, the size limit for one message is 100 Kb. Messages can be sent to one or more subscribers. There is a Russian and English dictionary T9.

Personalization. Here is almost everything related to setting up the device. You can choose a melody, a call type, customize the menu design, set a picture on the main screen, set up "fast" keys and more. For the call type, you can set vibrate and melody at the same time, vibro then melody, vibro signal and then melody. In general, there are many settings for the type of call, you can choose what you need.

< /p>

You can set a picture or video for the screen, set color schemes. An interesting feature is the Atmosphere (a set of pictures, interface colors and melodies). When viewing, you see not only the design option, but also hear the ringtone corresponding to the selected option. Of course, nothing prevents you from setting it all up separately.

Call logging. List of calls – missed, incoming, dialed. Here you can also configure everything related to voice calls.

Quick Access. It is possible to create your own menu to access the desired menu items, contacts from the phone book and Internet addresses.

Tools. This section contains an organizer. You can view the entire month, week, and all scheduled events are displayed in a separate list. Viewing by weeks is conveniently implemented, as they are divided by dates, for example, 14.03-20.03, 21.03-27.03, etc. Events are set as follows – meeting (date, start and end time, text note), birthday (date and last name) and call (reminders for which you can set priority and end date are also a separate item).

There are two alarms in the phone, one is set for the exact date, and the second is daily. Here you can also find the timer.

The phone also has a simple calculator and currency converter.

It is possible to create your own melody from notes or record it on a voice recorder from an external source. The limit is 60 seconds.

Voice commands are assigned to the desired menu item.

The Alerts section displays a list of appointments, notes that have an alert assigned to them, and an alarm.

In this menu, you can activate the infrared port.

Tips & tricks. Here are tips for using your phone.

Services. Here you can access the SIM menu and access the WAP site My One Touch.

WAP. The phone has browser version 2.0, there are no special features.

Games. Two games are preinstalled in the phone, one of them is Queen of the Mole (hit the faces that appear with a hammer, the game does not arouse interest), the second is Rabbit Fitness (a kind of tamagotchi, a nice toy). It is possible to download new games, but only via wap. In applications, you can find the calculation of the menstrual cycle, because the phone is female.

Media Album. Here are all the pictures, melodies and videos. The set of preinstalled pictures and melodies is very large, the phone is good in this respect. The selection of funny and ironic pictures is such that the eyes run wide. Your phone comes preloaded with some funny videos.

Camera. The camera shoots in the following resolutions – 640×480, 352×288, 128×128, 64×64, 32×32, 16×16 pixels, plus there is a panoramic shooting mode, in this case the image is stretched horizontally. In all cases, the photo format is JPEG, three compression qualities are available (High, Standard, Economy).

The phone screen acts as a viewfinder. The interface is thought out to the smallest detail, you can change almost all parameters in the shooting mode in a few clicks. For example, numeric keys 1, 2, 3 are responsible for selecting the compression quality. The left soft key is responsible for choosing a color (color photo, black and white, Sepia, Negative, Thin or outlines).

The # key allows you to quickly switch the resolution of images, while the asterisk is responsible for special modes, there are several of them in the device. One of these modes is to create a GIF file from four shots. That is, you take four photos in a row, and then they turn into animation, immediately in your device. Only one resolution of 128×128 pixels is strictly provided here, but it is understandable, the developers saved memory. The function is unique and greatly diversifies the device, other manufacturers have not yet offered anything similar.

The second special shooting mode is mosaic. In this mode, you also take 4 pictures (32×32 pixels), and then one whole image (128×128 pixels) is assembled from them.

Your phone has a timer for delayed shooting. There is an Exposure setting or setting the light level, by default the lighting conditions are set automatically, but you can specify them manually. In most cases, automatic installation is sufficient.

For photos, you can choose the default folders in which they are saved. The resulting images can be used as screen savers in MMS messages.

For images with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, frames can be used. These are the effects that are superimposed on the photo when shooting, a kind of frame. The unique function of the device is that frame files (PNG format) can be downloaded to the phone from a PC, that is, you can create your own effects. None of the devices has this feature, although the same frames are used in many models.

The device has an 8-fold increase in the picture (digital zoom), just move the joystick away from you. The zoom function is accompanied by a sound similar to the one that the lens makes while moving in digital cameras – it&#39;s quite funny.

Photos look good on a phone display, but they also look quite tolerable on a computer screen. The main drawback is that the edges of the photos are blurry.

The video is recorded in 3GP format, the video size limit is 93 Kb or 9 seconds, but this is for MMS messages. It is also possible to record videos without limits, to be precise, until the memory runs out.

Video clips are not played in full screen, a slight slowdown is noticeable when playing them, apparently, the processor of the device cannot cope with such a load. The videos themselves are of normal quality.

Impressions

This is a typical solution from Alcatel, nothing special. The phone has no problems in terms of connection quality, the loudspeaker volume and microphone sensitivity are enough for a conversation in any conditions, whether it&#39;s an office or a noisy street. The volume of the call is sufficient, it is well audible, even from under winter clothes. But the vibrating alert is average in power, you can not even feel it. The speakerphone in the device is implemented at a good level.

The lack of mp3 support is not very modern and severely limits the buyers of this device. Polyphony 40-tones, you can use both midi and SMAF files. The device has a large number of preset melodies, many of them are pleasant.

It is impossible to evaluate this device from the position of functionality, it claims to be a glamphone (there is even a corresponding site glamphone.com, including in Russian). Mostly Elle No. 1 accessory for those who wants to stand out and at the same time, without having a lot of money, still does not count them, believing that this is customary in glamorous circles. This is a style of behavior imposed by the glossy press, only young ladies fall under its influence.In no case do I want to offend those who study Elle as part of their work (girls, forgive me), those who “read” this publication are very specific and are described at the beginning of the review. In a word, those who read this material clearly do not belong to the class of &#34;highly profitable women with no permanent employment.&#34; And, in general, I do not like the idea of ​​deliberately cultivating idiots for the subsequent sale of a service or product to them. Although promoting a product for such an audience is not difficult, and the product has a higher margin, the so-called margin for consumer stupidity.

The desire of distributors to &#34;cash in&#34; on this model is understandable, but retail prices of $400 in December are inexplicable. The real cost of the model cannot exceed $200-230, in which case it is quite an adequate solution (this is also the cost of the device based on the current wholesale price). It is clear that in December you can put carrots on the shelf, they will buy it too, the question is why this is needed in the long term.

At the moment, the market is not spoiled by a large number of female models, but one can immediately recall the Samsung E530, this device has better plastic, a modern screen with a resolution of 176×220 pixels, a huge amount of memory, support for mp3, Bluetooth, and great advertising support. The cost of this solution is currently $350, the positioning is clearly higher than that of Alcatel&#39;s solution. If you select other competitors, then the list can be greatly expanded, many have no less image charge than Elle No. 1.

It sounds contradictory, but having a husband, a friend, a lover explains everything.

The volume of the call is sufficient, it is well audible, even from under winter clothes. But the vibrating alert is average in power, you can not even feel it. The speakerphone in the device is implemented at a good level.

The lack of mp3 support is not very modern and severely limits the buyers of this device. Polyphony 40-tones, you can use both midi and SMAF files. The device has a large number of preset melodies, many of them are pleasant.

It is impossible to evaluate this device from the position of functionality, it claims to be a glamphone (there is even a corresponding site glamphone.com, including in Russian). Mostly Elle No. 1 accessory for those who wants to stand out and at the same time, without having a lot of money, still does not count them, believing that this is customary in glamorous circles. This is a style of behavior imposed by the glossy press, only young ladies fall under its influence.In no case do I want to offend those who study Elle as part of their work (girls, forgive me), those who “read” this publication are very specific and are described at the beginning of the review. In a word, those who read this material clearly do not belong to the class of &#34;highly profitable women with no permanent employment.&#34; And, in general, I do not like the idea of ​​deliberately cultivating idiots for the subsequent sale of a service or product to them. Although promoting a product for such an audience is not difficult, and the product has a higher margin, the so-called margin for consumer stupidity.

The desire of distributors to &#34;cash in&#34; on this model is understandable, but retail prices of $400 in December are inexplicable. The real cost of the model cannot exceed $200-230, in which case it is quite an adequate solution (this is also the cost of the device based on the current wholesale price). It is clear that in December you can put carrots on the shelf, they will buy it too, the question is why this is needed in the long term.

At the moment, the market is not spoiled by a large number of female models, but one can immediately recall the Samsung E530, this device has better plastic, a modern screen with a resolution of 176×220 pixels, a huge amount of memory, support for mp3, Bluetooth, and great advertising support. The cost of this solution is currently $350, the positioning is clearly higher than that of Alcatel&#39;s solution. If you select other competitors, then the list can be greatly expanded, many have no less image charge than Elle No. 1.

Review of GSM-phone Elle №1 by Alcatel

The word design for marketers in a number of companies serves as a kind of fetish, which, in their opinion, is able to explain miscalculations in the functionality of the device, high cost, low attractiveness for the consumer. No, of course, the general trend is on the face, an increasing number of phones attract buyers precisely with their design, and secondly with their capabilities. Sometimes design takes precedence over functionality, and then it is sacrificed for the sake of the fashionable component of the device.This is typical for large manufacturers with a recognizable brand, but not for second-tier manufacturers, here they start to play by different rules and unusual design is in the order of things (this is how manufacturers actually try to stand out). It&#39;s all the more strange when Alcatel starts a project of a designer device against the backdrop of a lack of top-end solutions capable of filling such a phone. Elle magazine was chosen as a partner. According to the apt expression of my French girlfriend, – &#34;when one French company finds another, then you should expect that in addition to deceiving each other, they will also try to heat up the buyer.&#34; But such a solution is more organic than the B&O alliance with Samsung, where the cultures are different. For example, it is enough to go to the B&O website in Russia to understand that buying the products of this “design” brand is money thrown away (look at the quality of the translation, the completeness of the site, etc.). So, two French companies got together and created a phone for Elle readers and lifestyle lovers.

The audience of this edition is girls who prefer to look at pictures a lot, think a little and buy a lot with other people&#39;s money. In terms of the marketer&#39;s description of the audience, this is a highly profitable audience, women who do not have a permanent job or occupation (the majority, although the huge circulation suggests certain thoughts). It sounds contradictory, but having a husband, a friend, a lover explains everything. Of course, ordinary girls who have not yet outlived the desire to become glamorous lapdogs have crept into the ranks of such young ladies, while for them the magazine is a kind of guide to that other world. Actually, such young ladies are the target audience of the Elle phone, for &#34;highly profitable&#34; women this device is rustic both in brand and in appearance, they prefer Nokia, Siemens SL55 Escada and the like.

The packaging of the phone, like the gloss of the magazine, should splurge and sell the product. This factor is well known in Elle, so the packaging of the phone looks great, a transparent blister with a simple inscription Elle No. 1, the name of the manufacturer is almost invisible, blending into the background of the box. The phone is available in two colors – black and red. In both cases, the body plastic is matte, velvety (soft touch), it is pleasant to the touch. The clamshell doors, part of the rear panel, on the contrary, are made of ordinary lacquered plastic. The kit includes a velvet pouch that can be used to wipe screens.

The dimensions of the device are quite large for a female model – 91x46x23 mm, at the same time the weight is acceptable – 90 grams. Due to the size, wearing the device around the neck is not very convenient.

A diamond-shaped insert on the front panel hides the external screen, along the edge of this insert there is a mirror surface. The decision from the standpoint of design may be justified, but common sense is clearly resting here. On the street, the mirror insert starts to glare, which crosses out the glass tint and makes the display unreadable (remember that this is an STN matrix). The screen resolution is 128×128 pixels, it displays up to 4096 colors. The display shows the time, signal level, battery charge, icons of current events. Only an incoming call or other event can activate the display when closed, the user cannot turn on the backlight in any way, there are no side keys.

Under the screen is a VGA camera lens, which is the same as in most of the company&#39;s products. In general, the device is technically similar to Alcatel C652, there are no differences between them.

Included with the device is an Elle strap with the corresponding badge. By cutting the length of the lace, it can be converted from neck to hand. On the bottom side of the device there is an infrared port, a charger connector, a headset.

You can open the clamshell with one hand, a special layer was used for the screen, it can turn into a mirror. The screen resolution is 128×160 pixels (28×36 mm), it fits up to 9 lines (4 of them are service lines). In the sun, the screen fades, which is typical for STN matrices. In a nutshell, the matrix can be described as a good solution from two years ago, now such screens are typical for budget products.

The keyboard block stands out due to the black color, the buttons are made of varnished plastic, they are medium in size. In general, the keyboard is quite comfortable, but it gives the impression of plastic from an inexpensive Chinese toy, which can be found at market collapses. The keys are sloppy, with a silver border around them, matching the color of the navigation key, plus a different color for the OK button. The designers apparently had an idea of ​​how to mix colors, but they didn’t know or didn’t want to know how to make it beautiful. In any case, this is purely a matter of taste and you can ignore my grumbling.

The battery in this model is 650 mAh lithium-ion. According to the manufacturer, it can provide up to 290 hours of standby time and up to 4 and a half hours of talk time. Under the conditions of the Moscow MTS network, the device worked for about 2 days with 35 minutes of calls, up to 20 minutes of using other functions. The operating time of the device should be considered equal to two days, more it will work only with a very small number of calls. The time to fully charge the battery is about one and a half hours.

The organization of the menu is very typical for Alcatel phones, adjusted for pre-installed wallpapers in the style of Elle, as well as another set of games that are created for this device. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the prevailing red gamut in the menu, for example, the font when typing, given the localization features, the input does not look quite adequate (thin red letters are hard to read). The main menu has only one view (previous devices up to 3 different ones) – the display shows all menu items in the form of small icons, three columns of four icons each.

The device has 3.2 MB of dynamic memory, which is distributed as needed between all applications. The menu has quick navigation using number sequences, you can also assign shortcuts to functions, then they will be available with one touch.

In the submenu, the functions are presented in lists, and they are grouped. The best way to explain this is with the example of Messages. Once in this menu, you will see a row of icons at the top, by default, Compose a message is highlighted. From the list, you can select the type of message, to view the received or sent messages, you need to move the joystick in the horizontal direction and another list will appear in front of you. At first glance, such a menu organization seems not very simple, but you quickly get used to it, it is logical and allows you to unload the menu, they do not have clutter of items, as in some models from other manufacturers. On the whole, the menu organizer makes a very good impression, all the menus are well thought out. So, in the image library there is a separate tab for pictures, a separate one for icons.

Localization of this model has remained, unfortunately, at the same level. The designations of Russian menu items have become more intelligible (the amount of memory is called power, do you like it?), but the Cyrillic font style is very different from English. Russian letters are thin, lightweight, the font is hard to see. The combination of Russian and English looks awkward due to the difference in font rendering.

Phonebook. The phone memory is divided into several directories. There is a separate directory of contacts from the SIM card, by default there are three more folders – General, Work, Personal. The user can create his own directories, they serve as a kind of user groups in this machine. You can assign your own ringtone to individual folders, but you cannot do this for individual entries.

For each name, you can fill in up to 26 information fields, this is the first name, last name, up to 7 numbers, two email addresses, homepage address, nickname, date of birth, company name, position, address, city, region, postal code, country, note field and up to 4 additional information fields. The only drawback is that when adding a new contact, you will have to scroll through all the fields in sequence to get to the right one. You can&#39;t get to what you want right away. You can add voice tags to individual entries, then voice dialing of these numbers is possible. There is a search by the first letter of the name.

For each entry, you can assign a picture or a video clip from pre-installed or uploaded by the user. The machine supports the following image formats: JPG, GIF, aGIF, PNG, BMP, WBMP. Video extensions supported: 3gp (H263/AMR, MPEG4), .mp4.

In principle, there are no restrictions on the number of entries, it all depends on the amount of free memory (but not more than 500 based on the amount of memory in the device).

Messages. In addition to working with SMS, the phone supports working with EMS and MMS. Work with all messages is standard and does not cause any problems. You can add emoticons, pictures, melodies and/or bookmarks from the wap browser to the body of the message. For MMS messages, you can create several slides, the size limit for one message is 100 Kb. Messages can be sent to one or more subscribers. There is a Russian and English dictionary T9.

Personalization. Here is almost everything related to setting up the device. You can choose a melody, a call type, customize the menu design, set a picture on the main screen, set up &#34;fast&#34; keys and more. For the call type, you can set vibrate and melody at the same time, vibro then melody, vibro signal and then melody. In general, there are many settings for the type of call, you can choose what you need.

< /p>

You can set a picture or video for the screen, set color schemes. An interesting feature is the Atmosphere (a set of pictures, interface colors and melodies). When viewing, you see not only the design option, but also hear the ringtone corresponding to the selected option. Of course, nothing prevents you from setting it all up separately.

Call logging. List of calls – missed, incoming, dialed. Here you can also configure everything related to voice calls.

Quick Access. It is possible to create your own menu to access the desired menu items, contacts from the phone book and Internet addresses.

Tools. This section contains an organizer. You can view the entire month, week, and all scheduled events are displayed in a separate list. Viewing by weeks is conveniently implemented, as they are divided by dates, for example, 14.03-20.03, 21.03-27.03, etc. Events are set as follows – meeting (date, start and end time, text note), birthday (date and last name) and call (reminders for which you can set priority and end date are also a separate item).

There are two alarms in the phone, one is set for the exact date, and the second is daily. Here you can also find the timer.

The phone also has a simple calculator and currency converter.

It is possible to create your own melody from notes or record it on a voice recorder from an external source. The limit is 60 seconds.

Voice commands are assigned to the desired menu item.

The Alerts section displays a list of appointments, notes that have an alert assigned to them, and an alarm.

In this menu, you can activate the infrared port.

Tips & tricks. Here are tips for using your phone.

Services. Here you can access the SIM menu and access the WAP site My One Touch.

WAP. The phone has browser version 2.0, there are no special features.

Games. Two games are preinstalled in the phone, one of them is Queen of the Mole (hit the faces that appear with a hammer, the game does not arouse interest), the second is Rabbit Fitness (a kind of tamagotchi, a nice toy). It is possible to download new games, but only via wap. In applications, you can find the calculation of the menstrual cycle, because the phone is female.

Media Album. Here are all the pictures, melodies and videos. The set of preinstalled pictures and melodies is very large, the phone is good in this respect. The selection of funny and ironic pictures is such that the eyes run wide. Your phone comes preloaded with some funny videos.

Camera. The camera shoots in the following resolutions – 640×480, 352×288, 128×128, 64×64, 32×32, 16×16 pixels, plus there is a panoramic shooting mode, in this case the image is stretched horizontally. In all cases, the photo format is JPEG, three compression qualities are available (High, Standard, Economy).

The phone screen acts as a viewfinder. The interface is thought out to the smallest detail, you can change almost all parameters in the shooting mode in a few clicks. For example, numeric keys 1, 2, 3 are responsible for selecting the compression quality. The left soft key is responsible for choosing a color (color photo, black and white, Sepia, Negative, Thin or outlines).

The # key allows you to quickly switch the resolution of images, while the asterisk is responsible for special modes, there are several of them in the device. One of these modes is to create a GIF file from four shots. That is, you take four photos in a row, and then they turn into animation, immediately in your device. Only one resolution of 128×128 pixels is strictly provided here, but it is understandable, the developers saved memory. The function is unique and greatly diversifies the device, other manufacturers have not yet offered anything similar.

The second special shooting mode is mosaic. In this mode, you also take 4 pictures (32×32 pixels), and then one whole image (128×128 pixels) is assembled from them.

Your phone has a timer for delayed shooting. There is an Exposure setting or setting the light level, by default the lighting conditions are set automatically, but you can specify them manually. In most cases, automatic installation is sufficient.

For photos, you can choose the default folders in which they are saved. The resulting images can be used as screen savers in MMS messages.

For images with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, frames can be used. These are the effects that are superimposed on the photo when shooting, a kind of frame. The unique function of the device is that frame files (PNG format) can be downloaded to the phone from a PC, that is, you can create your own effects. None of the devices has this feature, although the same frames are used in many models.

The device has an 8-fold increase in the picture (digital zoom), just move the joystick away from you. The zoom function is accompanied by a sound similar to the one that the lens makes while moving in digital cameras – it&#39;s quite funny.

Photos look good on a phone display, but they also look quite tolerable on a computer screen. The main drawback is that the edges of the photos are blurry.

The video is recorded in 3GP format, the video size limit is 93 Kb or 9 seconds, but this is for MMS messages. It is also possible to record videos without limits, to be precise, until the memory runs out.

Video clips are not played in full screen, a slight slowdown is noticeable when playing them, apparently, the processor of the device cannot cope with such a load. The videos themselves are of normal quality.

Impressions

This is a typical solution from Alcatel, nothing special. The phone has no problems in terms of connection quality, the loudspeaker volume and microphone sensitivity are enough for a conversation in any conditions, whether it&#39;s an office or a noisy street. The volume of the call is sufficient, it is well audible, even from under winter clothes. But the vibrating alert is average in power, you can not even feel it. The speakerphone in the device is implemented at a good level.

The lack of mp3 support is not very modern and severely limits the buyers of this device. Polyphony 40-tones, you can use both midi and SMAF files. The device has a large number of preset melodies, many of them are pleasant.

It is impossible to evaluate this device from the position of functionality, it claims to be a glamphone (there is even a corresponding site glamphone.com, including in Russian). Mostly Elle No. 1 accessory for those who wants to stand out and at the same time, without having a lot of money, still does not count them, believing that this is customary in glamorous circles. This is a style of behavior imposed by the glossy press, only young ladies fall under its influence.In no case do I want to offend those who study Elle as part of their work (girls, forgive me), those who “read” this publication are very specific and are described at the beginning of the review. In a word, those who read this material clearly do not belong to the class of &#34;highly profitable women with no permanent employment.&#34; And, in general, I do not like the idea of ​​deliberately cultivating idiots for the subsequent sale of a service or product to them. Although promoting a product for such an audience is not difficult, and the product has a higher margin, the so-called margin for consumer stupidity.

The desire of distributors to &#34;cash in&#34; on this model is understandable, but retail prices of $400 in December are inexplicable. The real cost of the model cannot exceed $200-230, in which case it is quite an adequate solution (this is also the cost of the device based on the current wholesale price). It is clear that in December you can put carrots on the shelf, they will buy it too, the question is why this is needed in the long term.

At the moment, the market is not spoiled by a large number of female models, but one can immediately recall the Samsung E530, this device has better plastic, a modern screen with a resolution of 176×220 pixels, a huge amount of memory, support for mp3, Bluetooth, and great advertising support. The cost of this solution is currently $350, the positioning is clearly higher than that of Alcatel&#39;s solution. If you select other competitors, then the list can be greatly expanded, many have no less image charge than Elle No. 1.

For example, numeric keys 1, 2, 3 are responsible for selecting the compression quality. The left soft key is responsible for choosing a color (color photo, black and white, Sepia, Negative, Thin or outlines).

The # key allows you to quickly switch the resolution of images, while the asterisk is responsible for special modes, there are several of them in the device. One of these modes is to create a GIF file from four shots. That is, you take four photos in a row, and then they turn into animation, immediately in your device. Only one resolution of 128×128 pixels is strictly provided here, but it is understandable, the developers saved memory. The function is unique and greatly diversifies the device, other manufacturers have not yet offered anything similar.

The second special shooting mode is mosaic. In this mode, you also take 4 pictures (32×32 pixels), and then one whole image (128×128 pixels) is assembled from them.

Your phone has a timer for delayed shooting. There is an Exposure setting or setting the light level, by default the lighting conditions are set automatically, but you can specify them manually. In most cases, automatic installation is sufficient.

For photos, you can choose the default folders in which they are saved. The resulting images can be used as screen savers in MMS messages.

For images with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, frames can be used. These are the effects that are superimposed on the photo when shooting, a kind of frame. The unique function of the device is that frame files (PNG format) can be downloaded to the phone from a PC, that is, you can create your own effects. None of the devices has this feature, although the same frames are used in many models.

The device has an 8-fold increase in the picture (digital zoom), just move the joystick away from you. The zoom function is accompanied by a sound similar to the one that the lens makes while moving in digital cameras – it&#39;s quite funny.

Photos look good on a phone display, but they also look quite tolerable on a computer screen. The main drawback is that the edges of the photos are blurry.

The video is recorded in 3GP format, the video size limit is 93 Kb or 9 seconds, but this is for MMS messages. It is also possible to record videos without limits, to be precise, until the memory runs out.

Video clips are not played in full screen, a slight slowdown is noticeable when playing them, apparently, the processor of the device cannot cope with such a load. The videos themselves are of normal quality.

Impressions

This is a typical solution from Alcatel, nothing special. The phone has no problems in terms of connection quality, the loudspeaker volume and microphone sensitivity are enough for a conversation in any conditions, whether it&#39;s an office or a noisy street. The volume of the call is sufficient, it is well audible, even from under winter clothes. But the vibrating alert is average in power, you can not even feel it. The speakerphone in the device is implemented at a good level.

The lack of mp3 support is not very modern and severely limits the buyers of this device. Polyphony 40-tones, you can use both midi and SMAF files. The device has a large number of preset melodies, many of them are pleasant.

It is impossible to evaluate this device from the position of functionality, it claims to be a glamphone (there is even a corresponding site glamphone.com, including in Russian). To a greater extent, Elle No. 1 accessory for those https://cars45.com/listing/mazda/b-series/1997 who want to stand out and at the same time, without having a lot of money, still do not consider them, believing that this is accepted in glamorous circles. This is a style of behavior imposed by the glossy press, only young ladies fall under its influence. In no case do I want to offend those who study Elle as part of their work (girls, forgive me), those who “read” this publication are very specific and are described at the beginning of the review. In a word, those who read this material clearly do not belong to the class of &#34;highly profitable women with no permanent employment.&#34; And, in general, I do not like the idea of ​​deliberately cultivating idiots for the subsequent sale of a service or product to them. Although promoting a product for such an audience is not difficult, and the product has a higher margin, the so-called margin for consumer stupidity.

Although the promotion of goods for such an audience is not difficult, and the product has a higher margin, the so-called premium for consumer stupidity.

The desire of distributors to &#34;cash in&#34; on this model is understandable, but retail prices of $400 in December are inexplicable. The real cost of the model cannot exceed $200-230, in which case it is quite an adequate solution (this is also the cost of the device based on the current wholesale price). It is clear that in December you can put carrots on the shelf, they will buy it too, the question is why this is needed in the long term.

At the moment, the market is not spoiled by a large number of female models, but one can immediately recall the Samsung E530, this device has better plastic, a modern screen with a resolution of 176×220 pixels, a huge amount of memory, support for mp3, Bluetooth, and great advertising support. The cost of this solution is currently $350, the positioning is clearly higher than that of Alcatel&#39;s solution. If you select other competitors, then the list can be greatly expanded, many have no less image charge than Elle No. 1.

Core i9-12900HK review: Intel has the best gaming processor, for now.

Core i9-12900HK review: Intel has the best gaming processor, for now.

Intel’s 12th-gen H-series processors are the best that you can get in a gaming laptop, and the Core i9-12900HK really shows it off. It’s a 45W CPU that can go way farther, especially since it’s unlocked for overclocking. From our testing, we’ve seen in every benchmark that it outperforms the competition.

It’s worth keeping in mind, of course, that it’s also the newest thing. It comes out on par with Apple’s M1 Max in benchmarks, so when we get an M2 Max at some point, it will obviously beat this. That’s how these things work; it’s back and forth. AMD also hasn’t started offering its Ryzen 6000 H-series laptops for review yet.

But then again, you can’t play the same games on a Mac that you can on Windows. That’s why it makes it easy to say that this is absolutely the best gaming CPU right now. The only competitor is AMD.

Right now, Intel gets to just be king of the hill, especially when it comes to gaming. For creator applications, there’s still a whole family of 45W Alder Lake CPUs to choose from, and from what we’ve seen, Intel 12th-gen is https://jiji.co.ke/37-guitars/acoustic a winner.

MSI Raider GE76.

The MSI Raider GE76 is among the first laptops to ship with Intel’s new 12th-gen processors, as well as NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics.

Navigate this review:

Check out the specs of this unit:

MSI Raider GE76 Specs.

CPU Intel Core i9-12900HK Graphics NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU 16GB GDDR6 Up to 1690MHz Boost Clock, 175W Maximum Graphics Power with Dynamic Boost. Max. 220W CPU-GPU Power with MSI OverBoost Technology. *May vary by scenario Body 397 x 284 x 25.9 mm, 2.9kg Display 17.3″ FHD (1920×1080), 360Hz, IPS-Level Memory 32GB DDR5-4800 Memory Type 2 Slots Number of SO-DIMM Slot Max 64GB Max Capacity Storage 2x 2TB M.2 SSD slot (NVMe PCIe Gen4) Webcam FHD type ([email protected]) Keyboard Per-Key RGB Backlight Keyboard Connectivity Killer Gb LAN (Up to 2.5G) Intel Killer AX Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.2 Audio jack 1x Mic-in/Headphone-out Combo Jack Ports 1x Type-C (USB / DP / Thunderbolt 4) 1x Type-C USB3.2 Gen2 2x Type-A USB3.2 Gen1 1x Type-A USB3.2 Gen2 1x RJ45 1x SD Express 1x (8K @ 60Hz / 4K @ 120Hz) HDMI 1x Mini-DisplayPort Battery 4-Cell 99.9 Battery (Whr) AC Adapter 330W adapter Color Titanium Blue OS Windows 11 Pro Price $3,999.

MSI Raider GE76: The laptop.

The MSI Raider GE76 has a 360Hz FHD display, but is also offered with 240Hz QHD and 120Hz UHD. It’s a laptop that’s focused on gaming, and if you’re looking for beautiful but accurate colors, look for something more creator focused like the MSI Creator 15. The keyboard has per-key RGB lighting, and there’s an RGB light bar across the front .

Most of this review is going to be spent talking about performance. After all, we’re mostly here to talk about Intel’s Core i9-12900HK, along with the new RTX 3080 Ti GPU, DDR5 memory, and other internals. I do want to talk about the MSI Raider GE76 though, as it’s actually the first MSI laptop I’ve reviewed.

It’s quite nice, using a stylish design with the MSI logo on the lid. From the outside, it’s pretty straightforward for a gaming laptop.

Not a review. Computer monoblock from Irbis, reflections on the category of monoblocks

Not a review. Computer monoblock from Irbis, reflections on the category of monoblocks

Recently, a monoblock from the Russian company Irbis (model MB2380) fell into the hands, it will start shipping in the middle of summer, and the price promises to be extremely interesting. What interested me in this product was not a large screen of 23.8 inches and, moreover, with an IPS matrix, but the monoblock form factor itself. In fact, this is a computer combined with a display, and this option has many advantages. For example, the adult generation often buys laptops not because they need compactness and mobility, but solely because of the ease of understanding of this product: everything is in one case, nothing needs to be connected. To explain that connecting a system unit to a monitor is no more difficult than installing a mouse or keyboard, one always stumbles upon the fact that these are unnecessary gestures, a sort of fear of not being able to cope with the task. Monoblock computers are simpler in this aspect, but still their main audience is not those who are worried about the ease of connection, but people who do not need complex computers, who use this technique for standard, everyday tasks. Corporate users are also a significant audience, when all-in-ones are bought as a typical computer, easy to set up, easy to use and do not require special attention. In the mind of the consumer, the monoblock is an expensive device, although there can be no reason to believe so, the example of the model from Irbis proves this. At a cost of around 22-23 thousand rubles, you get an office computer with a large screen, built-in audio and the ability to work comfortably in most common office tasks. This is not a computer for a designer, not for those who process video, not for engineers, and so on, this is a monoblock for a typical office worker who sits online most of the time, works in MS Office and mail, in a word, performs routine actions.

Irbis MB2380

The box in which the monoblock is located is light, and you can safely carry it in one hand from the car to the office.

Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380

Opening the box, we find a metal stand that needs to be installed by screwing three screws. It does not cause any problems, everything is very simple, the only tool you need is a screwdriver.

Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380Irbis MB2380< /p>

Please note that the display has very narrow bezels, the monoblock looks good with the screen on. But because of the price, they used inexpensive plastic, it is clearly visible, on the other hand, you don’t expect anything else for this money. It is always a compromise and an attempt to achieve an optimal price / quality ratio.

Irbis MB2380Irbis MB2380

All the connectors were moved to the back panel, there is a power button right there, you can feel it if you know where it is located. There are two USB connectors on the bottom end, but you also have to look for them by touch, ergonomics suffer here, since it is difficult to do this. The location of all these elements is such that the manufacturer considered that access to them would be needed infrequently. Most likely, this is true.

Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380< img src=&#34;https://mobile-review.com/articles/2018/image/irbis-mb2380/pic/20.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Irbis MB2380&#34; width=&#34;640&#34; height=&#34;480"/>

This is a working computer that does not provide for the constant addition of external devices and other peripherals. But sometimes you will need to stick a flash drive? On the other hand, the security policy of many companies does not provide for this.

The filling of the monoblock matches budget computers: a Celeron processor, a 2.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of 500 GB, it will be enough for any task. The performance of this solution is not too high, as I already said, you definitely won’t use a computer for calculations or video encoding, but it doesn’t have such a task. The main thing here is the 23-inch IPS screen, which has good color reproduction and brightness. The advantages of the IPS matrix are obvious, there is no point in describing them. Thin frames are not just a tribute to fashion, they are convenient in everyday work, give the computer a modern look. This aspect is not as important as it might seem. Despite the low cost, the monoblock looks modern, primarily due to the minimum thickness of the bezel around the screen.

Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380 Irbis MB2380Irbis MB2380< /p>

I used a monoblock for typing, watching videos (the speakers are built-in, the sound is quite decent, although it does not differ in much depth, these are ordinary speakers), I read sites on the net. Inside Windows 10 Home Edition https://cars45.com.gh/listing/jeep/patriot/2013 , which is also common for such machines. There is no desire to describe Windows, it is still the same system.

Irbis MB2380Irbis MB2380

Surprisingly, this monoblock did not cause any rejection in me, everything works as expected, the speed is not cosmic, but acceptable, there are no noticeable brakes. It is clear that you can’t play “heavy” games, but for this you need a gaming computer, and it was not worth counting on the monoblock to cope with modern toys from the very beginning. At some point, I realized that I didn’t turn off the monoblock, it just fell asleep. You come, touch the mouse, and the computer wakes up. The decision to abandon the built-in camera can only be welcomed, since an external HD camera will be inexpensive, and it is clearly better than those that are put in monoblocks and your interlocutor looks into a blurry, low-quality picture.

Let&#39;s give a brief technical specification so as not to repeat them later:

  • 23.8 inches, IPS, 1920×1080 pixels, non-touch
  • Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core processor up to 2.4 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • Integrated 2.5&#34; 500 GB hard drive
  • MicroSD cards up to 128 GB
  • Ethernet connector up to 1 Gb
  • Two USB 2.0 ports, Three USB 3.0 ports
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
  • Built-in stereo speakers
  • Charger (12V/3A)
  • Dimensions 325x540x36 mm, weight 2.75 kg

Let&#39;s see how much a bundle of a regular PC and an IPS monitor of a similar diagonal and resolution costs. A 23-inch monitor will cost you from 9 to 11 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer. A system unit with similar characteristics of memory, hard drive and connectors will cost about 15-16 thousand rubles, inside the same version of Windows. In total, it turns out that at least you will give 24 thousand rubles, and on average such a configuration will cost 26-28 thousand rubles. Therefore, the stereotype that a monoblock is obviously more expensive than a system unit and a monitor does not stand the test of reality, it is not. In the case of a monoblock from Irbis, it is even cheaper than such a bundle.

It is clear that Irbis has always tried to play at the first price and offer inexpensive, but interesting devices in terms of price / quality ratio. And the release of the Irbis monoblock is a test of the soil as far as the market is ripe for such solutions. This is not the first product of this class from Irbis, reconnaissance in combat has already taken place in the past, when a monoblock similar in idea was sold in federal networks, the results were not bad. But this time we tried to take into account customer feedback, for example, we focused on the screen, which turned out to be important for the majority. That is, the priorities of buyers were distributed in such a way that the quality of the screen came first, then everything else. And people simply spoke about performance – not for games, this is a machine for work, the main thing is that MS Office opens normally, mail and there are no plugs in the browser, no matter what it is. And all this is fully present in the Irbis monoblock.

Irbis MB2380

Most of the monoblocks that are offered on the Russian market cost from 20 thousand rubles, these are models from Acer, Lenovo and other companies. The difference is that the screen diagonal is smaller, almost always it is not an IPS-matrix, but the filling is the same or worse. In the segment from 25 thousand rubles and above, diagonals of 21.5 inches are already appearing and there are IPS matrices, the stuffing is plus or minus comparable. Whatever one may say, it turns out that the solution from Irbis is the most inexpensive, at the time of writing this article I could not find anything similar for the same money.

Following through the offers of federal networks and talking with sellers, I made the following judgment: the monoblock market is quite specific, but more than alive. This “back to school” season, many predict a 10-15% increase in sales of monoblocks from last year, there are many models from different companies, and there is also strong demand from consumers. I tormented everyone with the question of who the consumer of such solutions is, the answers varied greatly, but they liked this one: “Not everyone needs powerful computers, many people buy a computer in one case so as not to think about anything, and its performance is enough for the eyes. Think of the candy bar as a modern analogue of a typewriter for everyday work in the office or at home. Inexpensive, everything you need is present, it looks good.”

I was also struck by the fact that the average life of a monoblock far exceeds that of computers or laptops, the former are upgraded, and the keyboard or battery dies in the latter. While monoblocks continue to live as if nothing had happened. They are characterized only by moral obsolescence, but in the same office life, it does not bother companies, people have been using the computers that they have for years.

My experience tells me that following Irbis, many second-tier manufacturers will try to release similar solutions, it&#39;s a matter of time. That is, probing the market turns into an attempt to shake up the niche and make monoblocks a significant, if you like, fashionable phenomenon. How successful this is remains an open question, but pay attention to such products and balance your needs with what they offer, for many tasks they are enough for the eyes, and they are more convenient than ordinary computers or laptops. For me, a monoblock is either a working machine in the office, or the second / third computer in the house, which is stationary and connected to the network. What is a monoblock for you and are you ready to buy such products? What do you think about the model from Irbis, how good does this monoblock look for the described scenarios?

What interested me in this product was not a large screen of 23.8 inches and, moreover, with an IPS matrix, but the monoblock form factor itself. In fact, this is a computer combined with a display, and this option has many advantages. For example, the adult generation often buys laptops not because they need compactness and mobility, but solely because of the ease of understanding of this product: everything is in one case, nothing needs to be connected.To explain that connecting a system unit to a monitor is no more difficult than installing a mouse or keyboard, one always stumbles upon the fact that these are unnecessary gestures, a sort of fear of not being able to cope with the task. Monoblock computers are simpler in this aspect, but still their main audience is not those who are worried about the ease of connection, but people who do not need complex computers, who use this technique for standard, everyday tasks. Corporate users are also a significant audience, when all-in-ones are bought as a typical computer, easy to set up, easy to use and do not require special attention. In the mind of the consumer, the monoblock is an expensive device, although there can be no reason to believe so, the example of the model from Irbis proves this. At a cost of around 22-23 thousand rubles, you get an office computer with a large screen, built-in audio and the ability to work comfortably in most common office tasks. This is not a computer for a designer, not for those who process video, not for engineers, and so on, this is a monoblock for a typical office worker who sits online most of the time, works in MS Office and mail, in a word, performs routine actions.

The box in which the monoblock is located is light, and you can safely carry it in one hand from the car to the office.

Opening the box, we find a metal stand that needs to be installed by screwing three screws. It does not cause any problems, everything is very simple, the only tool you need is a screwdriver.

Please note that the display has very narrow bezels, the monoblock looks good with the screen on. But because of the price, they used inexpensive plastic, it is clearly visible, on the other hand, you don’t expect anything else for this money. It is always a compromise and an attempt to achieve an optimal price / quality ratio.

All the connectors were moved to the back panel, there is a power button right there, you can feel it if you know where it is located. There are two USB connectors on the bottom end, but you also have to look for them by touch, ergonomics suffer here, since it is difficult to do this. The location of all these elements is such that the manufacturer considered that access to them would be needed infrequently. Most likely, this is true.

This is a working computer that does not provide for the constant addition of external devices and other peripherals. But sometimes you will need to stick a flash drive? On the other hand, the security policy of many companies does not provide for this.

The filling of the monoblock matches budget computers: a Celeron processor, a 2.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of 500 GB, it will be enough for any task. The performance of this solution is not too high, as I already said, you definitely won’t use a computer for calculations or video encoding, but it doesn’t have such a task. The main thing here is the 23-inch IPS screen, which has good color reproduction and brightness. The advantages of the IPS matrix are obvious, there is no point in describing them. Thin frames are not just a tribute to fashion, they are convenient in everyday work, give the computer a modern look. This aspect is not as important as it might seem. Despite the low cost, the monoblock looks modern, primarily due to the minimum thickness of the bezel around the screen.

I used a monoblock for typing, watching videos (the speakers are built-in, the sound is quite decent, although it does not differ in much depth, these are ordinary speakers), I read sites on the net. Inside Windows 10 Home Edition https://cars45.com.gh/listing/jeep/patriot/2013 , which is also common for such machines. There is no desire to describe Windows, it is still the same system.

Surprisingly, this monoblock did not cause any rejection in me, everything works as expected, the speed is not cosmic, but acceptable, there are no noticeable brakes. It is clear that you can’t play “heavy” games, but for this you need a gaming computer, and it was not worth counting on the monoblock to cope with modern toys from the very beginning. At some point, I realized that I didn’t turn off the monoblock, it just fell asleep. You come, touch the mouse, and the computer wakes up. The decision to abandon the built-in camera can only be welcomed, since an external HD camera will be inexpensive, and it is clearly better than those that are put in monoblocks and your interlocutor looks into a blurry, low-quality picture.

Let&#39;s give a brief technical specification so as not to repeat them later:

  • 23.8 inches, IPS, 1920×1080 pixels, non-touch
  • Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core processor up to 2.4 GHz
  • 4 GB RAM
  • Integrated 2.5&#34; 500 GB hard drive
  • MicroSD cards up to 128 GB
  • Ethernet connector up to 1 Gb
  • Two USB 2.0 ports, Three USB 3.0 ports
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
  • Built-in stereo speakers
  • Charger (12V/3A)
  • Dimensions 325x540x36 mm, weight 2.75 kg

Let&#39;s see how much a bundle of a regular PC and an IPS monitor of a similar diagonal and resolution costs. A 23-inch monitor will cost you from 9 to 11 thousand rubles, depending on the manufacturer. A system unit with similar characteristics of memory, hard drive and connectors will cost about 15-16 thousand rubles, inside the same version of Windows. In total, it turns out that at least you will give 24 thousand rubles, and on average such a configuration will cost 26-28 thousand rubles. Therefore, the stereotype that a monoblock is obviously more expensive than a system unit and a monitor does not stand the test of reality, it is not. In the case of a monoblock from Irbis, it is even cheaper than such a bundle.

It is clear that Irbis has always tried to play at the first price and offer inexpensive, but interesting devices in terms of price / quality ratio. And the release of the Irbis monoblock is a test of the soil as far as the market is ripe for such solutions. This is not the first product of this class from Irbis, reconnaissance in combat has already taken place in the past, when a monoblock similar in idea was sold in federal networks, the results were not bad. But this time we tried to take into account customer feedback, for example, we focused on the screen, which turned out to be important for the majority. That is, the priorities of buyers were distributed in such a way that the quality of the screen came first, then everything else. And people simply spoke about performance – not for games, this is a machine for work, the main thing is that MS Office opens normally, mail and there are no plugs in the browser, no matter what it is. And all this is fully present in the Irbis monoblock.

Irbis MB2380

Most of the monoblocks that are offered on the Russian market cost from 20 thousand rubles, these are models from Acer, Lenovo and other companies. The difference is that the screen diagonal is smaller, almost always it is not an IPS-matrix, but the filling is the same or worse. In the segment from 25 thousand rubles and above, diagonals of 21.5 inches are already appearing and there are IPS matrices, the stuffing is plus or minus comparable. Whatever one may say, it turns out that the solution from Irbis is the most inexpensive, at the time of writing this article I could not find anything similar for the same money.

Following through the offers of federal networks and talking with sellers, I made the following judgment: the monoblock market is quite specific, but more than alive. This “back to school” season, many predict a 10-15% increase in sales of monoblocks from last year, there are many models from different companies, and there is also strong demand from consumers. I tormented everyone with the question of who the consumer of such solutions is, the answers varied greatly, but they liked this one: “Not everyone needs powerful computers, many people buy a computer in one case so as not to think about anything, and its performance is enough for the eyes. Think of the candy bar as a modern analogue of a typewriter for everyday work in the office or at home. Inexpensive, everything you need is present, it looks good.”

I was also struck by the fact that the average life of a monoblock far exceeds that of computers or laptops, the former are upgraded, and the keyboard or battery dies in the latter. While monoblocks continue to live as if nothing had happened. They are characterized only by moral obsolescence, but in the same office life, it does not bother companies, people have been using the computers that they have for years.

My experience tells me that following Irbis, many second-tier manufacturers will try to release similar solutions, it&#39;s a matter of time. That is, probing the market turns into an attempt to shake up the niche and make monoblocks a significant, if you like, fashionable phenomenon. How successful this is remains an open question, but pay attention to such products and balance your needs with what they offer, for many tasks they are enough for the eyes, and they are more convenient than ordinary computers or laptops. For me, a monoblock is either a working machine in the office, or the second / third computer in the house, which is stationary and connected to the network. What is a monoblock for you and are you ready to buy such https://tonaton.co.ke/c_computer-accessories/t_universal products? What do you think about the model from Irbis, how good does this monoblock look for the described scenarios?

Sony Smart Wireless Headset Overview

Sony Smart Wireless Headset Overview

Probably the most functional stereo headset on the market: it has a built-in radio, can work as an MP3 player and play music from a memory card, and that&#39;s just the beginning!

Design, construction

The packaging here is such that immediately after removing the gadget, you can throw it away, it is not possible to assemble it back under any circumstances. As you can see, there are a lot of interesting things in the kit, if you have a question why there is a memory card here, I will immediately answer – the headset can work like a regular MP3 player with all the ensuing consequences. They took care of everything, even put in the box a branded card reader, familiar from the days of Sony Ericsson.

The headset itself is small and least of all resembles a headset, it looks more like a player, both in size and shape. A small rectangular box with a &#34;crocodile&#34; for attaching to clothes on the back. The assembly is good, the dimensions are 6 x 2.5 x 0.8 cm, weight is about 18 grams. At the end there is a 3.5 mm jack, you can connect any headphones, although they are quite good in the kit. Nearby is a microphone hole. As you can see, the design is reminiscent of old Sony headsets like the DR-BT10CX and others, the body is made of black glossy plastic, with a gray plastic part on top. It can be removed, there is a slot for a memory card and a microUSB connector.

The headset is available only in black, as far as I understand, there will be no white version. In general, it seems that the Smart Wireless Headset (hereinafter referred to as SWH) will not linger on the market, a very niche accessory for fans and sympathizers. Below I will explain why.

There is a small display on the front, which is almost invisible when turned off. Everything is in order with the assembly, only the cap sits painfully loose, I accidentally removed it several times. Well, at least it is attached to the body with a strip of plastic.

I also want to remind you that a long time ago, in 2003, Sony Ericsson had a headset HBM-30, we can say that SWH is its continuation. The HBM-30 also had a player function, a 64 MB memory card was included (!). Small display, number identification, the ability to replace headphones.

In fact, ten years have passed. There is no longer Sony Ericsson, but the achievements of engineers and designers are still used. By the way, the HBM-30 can still be found on sale, fortunately, there is no built-in battery, the gadget was powered by one AAA battery. I used HBM-30 paired with Sony Ericsson P910.

Management

Next to the display is a multifunctional button, with its help you can answer or end a call, open incoming text messages, works only with gadgets based on Android. At the end there is a volume rocker, power buttons, playback controls, there is also a return button – you need it while moving through the menu.

Fast-forwarding is rather slow than fast-forward, and for long tracks, jumping to the desired section is a real pain.

The claimed operating time is 11 hours for listening to the radio, using for conversations, in the mode of playing music from a memory card – about 12 hours. For charging, a microUSB connector is used, you need to remove the cap, the kit includes both a USB cable and a charger. It is curious that a piece of paper has been attached to the cable since the days of Sony Ericsson. A sort of artifact from the past.

The operating time is quite acceptable for such a device, I have nothing to complain about.

To move around the menu, the playback control buttons and the back button are used, I will try to explain how and what happens here:

  • In the settings, you can view connected devices, flip the display, change the language, brightness, system information
  • Music, here you can go to the memory card or connected device, you can set the Shuffle mode for the card, view playlists, artists, tracks, albums.
  • A separate menu item is FM radio, frequency names are visible, RDS is supported, you can use the player control buttons to fully control the radio (there is both automatic and manual search)
  • It is possible to mute the microphone during a call by pressing and holding the Play button during a call
  • It is possible to connect to two devices at the same time
  • When connected to an Android device, you can view the call log, select a number (contact, names are displayed) and make a call, in fact, the headset acts as a miniature phone
  • On the headset screen, event notifications can be displayed, these are SMS, email and reminders from the calendar, and this information can also be viewed
  • I strongly advise you to install the LiveWare program on your Android smartphone (this is a Sony program, but it works on any device), because SWH can also be used to view notifications from Facebook, Twitter, you can change the parameters associated with this function in the program
  • Supports text-to-speech function, you need to install LiveWare, this function works only with Android, you can load new languages
  • The most interesting thing is that you can download new applications – functions for SWH from the Android Market, there is already a program to find the phone (calling on the smartphone is activated)

Memory

This device has a microSD card slot and supports cards up to 32 GB. It is curious that the headset supports software updates, the procedure looks like this:

&#34;Instructions for updating using a micro SD card:

1. Place the smartwirelessheadsetpro.bin file in the root directory of the micro SD card.
2. Reboot your Smart Wireless Headset pro.
3. It will update on startup.

Caller name display – now available on some non-Android phones. – Display the correct time – now also on some non-Android phones. – Improved compatibility with some types of micro SD cards. – Various improvements.

I did all that, the update was successful. Immediately after connecting to the computer, a menu appears where you can activate the file transfer mode, if you do nothing, the device will simply charge.

The included memory card is incredibly slow, or something is wrong with the device. It is better to change and upload files using a card reader.

Phone connection, sound quality

In general, the headset is primarily designed for use with Android devices, but the first thing I tried to connect it to the iPhone. When connecting, you are shown a code, you need to confirm it on the phone and on the headset, a tedious and not entirely clear procedure. The screen in standby mode shows the connection status (the figure means the number of connected devices), time, battery status. After the update, the headset works very well with the iPhone, the track name is displayed, everything is in order with the controls, but, as I wrote above, this gadget was originally created for Android. Voice quality is good, just keep in mind that the device should be held as close to the mouth as possible. The interlocutors are perfectly audible, the volume level is very high. Yes, I note that the Bluetooth 3.0 profile is used here.

But if you want something simpler, then you should definitely look at the Nokia BH-610. Thanks to Sony for a good gadget, but for you, lovers and professionals of toys, I highly recommend buying it. It also doesn&#39;t cost too much – and there are also very comfortable headphones with a short cable, perfect to use with your phone when it&#39;s in an inside jacket pocket.

Sony Smart Wireless Headset Overview

Probably the most functional stereo headset on the market: it has a built-in radio, can work as an MP3 player and play music from a memory card, and that&#39;s just the beginning!

Design, construction

The packaging here is such that immediately after removing the gadget, you can throw it away, it is not possible to assemble it back under any circumstances. As you can see, there are a lot of interesting things in the kit, if you have a question why there is a memory card here, I will immediately answer – the headset can work like a regular MP3 player with all the ensuing consequences. They took care of everything, even put in the box a branded card reader, familiar from the days of Sony Ericsson.

The headset itself is small and least of all resembles a headset, it looks more like a player, both in size and shape. A small rectangular box with a &#34;crocodile&#34; for attaching to clothes on the back. The assembly is good, the dimensions are 6 x 2.5 x 0.8 cm, weight is about 18 grams.

In fact, ten years have passed. There is no longer Sony Ericsson, but the achievements of engineers and designers are still used. By the way, the HBM-30 can still be found on sale, fortunately, there is no built-in battery, the gadget ran on a single AAA battery. I used HBM-30 paired with Sony Ericsson P910.

Management

Next to the display is a multifunctional button, with its help you can answer or end a call, open incoming text messages, works only with Android-based gadgets. At the end there is a volume rocker, power buttons, playback controls, there is also a return button – you need it while moving through the menu.

  • The most interesting thing is that you can download new applications – functions for SWH from the Android Market, there is already a program to find the phone (calling on the smartphone is activated)

What conclusions can be drawn. You can listen to music from a Bluetooth connected phone, you can listen to music from a memory card, you can listen to the radio. The screen displays the name of the subscriber (if it is in the address book), you can use the call lists. Notifications. Widgets. It’s easy to get used to the controls, but then it’s hard to part with this remote control for everything – for example, if you connect SWH to a tablet, it will help you communicate comfortably without taking your gadget out of your bag – while listening to music.

Another question is that sometimes there are slowdowns when moving through the menu, but I did not notice reboots or malfunctions. This gadget, first of all, is addressed to those who like to dig and figure it out, those who, for simplicity, SWH will not understand and will not approve.

Just keep in mind that most of the features will work with Android, you can listen to music in many ways from iPhone, the track name is displayed after flashing, but there are no notifications. During incoming calls, names in Russian replace question marks, everything is displayed correctly in Latin.

Yes, I note that the Bluetooth 3.0 profile is used here.

Conclusions

This device is not so often found on sale, the price is about 3,400 rubles, it seems to me that the thing turned out to be excellent, especially for those who still have not played enough toys. Listen to music from your phone or from a memory card, use the radio, the display is not for formality, but for full-fledged call management – all this is here. Excellent delivery set. A whole field of activity for an experienced gadget lover, such a thing will come in handy in the office, in the car, and in the gym. Text-to-speech (if you are fluent in English), the ability to install additional applications. In my opinion, these features are unlikely to be highly demanded by the consumer, but when it comes to playing music in a variety of ways, it&#39;s great.

But if you want something simpler, then you should definitely look at the Nokia BH-610. Thanks to Sony for a good gadget, but for you, lovers and professionals of toys, I highly recommend buying it. It also doesn&#39;t cost too much – and there are also very comfortable headphones with a short cable, perfect to use with your phone when it&#39;s in an inside jacket pocket.

I can only say good things about the music https://cars45.com/listing/toyota/camry/1967. Included are wonderful headphones, perhaps only in Sony and Apple do not hesitate to immediately equip the user with everything necessary. I would not even think about replacing, and they look great, and the sound is wonderful, either when listening to files from a memory card or from a phone. Slightly worse than the Nokia BH-610, no depth. But otherwise – only positive emotions.

Completely different thing: Nvidia showed Quake 2 with RTX support Game developers are still in no hurry to add support for RTX technology to their projects. So Nvidia decided to add ray tracing to a Quake 2 fan mod on its own. What it looks like In addition to advanced lighting, Quake 2 RTX uses high resolution models and textures taken from the Quake 2 XP project. Also added support for Nvidia Flow for fire, smoke and particle effects. Compared to other fan crafts, Nvidia’s mod looks much neater and more natural, especially in dynamics. But with the addition of RTX, the game loses its zest and takes on a completely different atmosphere. It is as if we are in an attraction under the open summer sky, and not on a planet choking on pollution. So as a demo it’s fine, but connoisseurs would rather prefer the OpenGL version.
