Microsoft Office 2013 review

Hi folks,

This is a review form cnet about the microsoft Office 2013. It is touch-friendly and what Microsoft has done in this latest version is make Office useable on a tablet running Windows 8 and, in converting the myriad productivity tools to support touch screens, the company had to make most actions only one click (or tap) away. So while it has streamlined the suite out of necessity, it's now easier to use than ever before.

Samsung Series 5 Review

                        Hi,

                          If you want an ultrabook-like laptop and alsoa cost-effective solution, then you should opt for the Samsung Series 5 laptops. Talking about its features, it has an Intel Core i5 2467M processor at 1.6GHz. It also has 4GB of RAM and has AMD Radeon HD 7550M and Intel HD 3000 graphics. It also has a 1 TB HDD whereas most ultrabooks have SSDs, helping them boot and multitask faster. It is pre-installed with Windows 7 home Premium 64-bit. It has a 14 inch,1366 X 768 resolution, LED backlit screen .It is a little heavy @ 1.5kgs. It has 3 USB ports, including 2 USB 3.0 ports. It has LAN, Wi-Fi, bluetooth which is a must-have on every laptop. Other ports include HDMI port, headphone and mic ports, memory card reader , in-built webcam and most astonishing it has an optical drive absent in most SSDs due to their slim size factor.

                           But still then, it is not as good as other ultrabooks of its kind, like the Macbook Air, HP Envy 4, etc. And due to its Hard disk drives, it took long time to boot, copy/paste, and more.

                           at around Rs. 54,390 , it is not a bad deal. But if you really want an ultrabook's speed and performance, then go for Dell, HP, etc. But if you are a little compromising ,then go for it !

Micromax Funbook Review

Hi,  

If you thought buying a high-performance tablet would burn a hole in your pocket, then you are .................wrong!

Here's the Micromax Funbook. If you thought it has no performance , then read. It has a 1.2 GHz Cortex-A8 processor and Dual Mali-400MP graphics. You can find Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) as its operating system and Accelerometer, Gravity Sensor. But that's a dissappointment as other sensors would enhance on the gaming front. It has 512 MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory and is expandable upto 32GB via microSD card. The screen is a  7 inch Capacitive Touchscreen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution. The camera is not good as it is only 0.3 megapixels. For business users there is a Document Viewer , Document Editor and Live TV too. If you browse the internet , it may take 5-6 hours for battery to become down with its 2800mAh battery. It has 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi. In video, MPEG2, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, 3GP, MOV, MKV, RM, RMVB formats are supported with HD and MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV audio are supported. It has 3G Dongle Support Via USB and Only Support Tata Photon Dongle and a USB 2.0 port. It also features Resizable Widgets, Games. However, There is No Sim Slot and Can Not Make Calls, Handset Does not Come with Tata Photon Dongle, Customer need to Produce a Funbook Bill in the Nearest Tata Store to Buy an Dongle which will Cost RS: 500 /-.  But it is completely meant for students with e-books, apps ,etc. For a highly afordable Rs 6499, it makes for a great option to buy.

HTC One X Review

Hi, 

Here's the HTC One X, which is the latest superphone of HTC. Now before we go into  its features, I would like to say about its configuration.

It runs Android v4.0 (Ice cream sandwich) like the Galaxy SIII. But it has Sense 4.0 UI, is powered by a 1.5GHz processor and has  ULP GeForce graphics. It has 4.7 inches  LCD 2 screen , with a resolution of  720X1280 pixels . It has a 8MP primary and 1.3 MP secondary camera. May be the rear camera should be little more. Well, it supports full HD(1920X1080) recording at 30fps. Other camera features include Auto Focus, BSI Sensor, Geo-tagging, Face and Smile Detection, Dedicated Imaging Chip, Continuous Shooting, etc. Its size is 69.9 x 134.36 x 8.9 mm making it a very slim and stylish phone.

It has a weight of 130grams. That is not heavy !! It has a disappointing 1800mAh Li-ion battery which does not last long. It has 32 GB of internal memory with no memory expansion. It is also packed with 1GB of RAM. It has EDGE, GPRS, 3G 21 Mbps HSDPA; 5.76 Mbps HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, It also has a micro USB connectivity. It supports GPS with Google Maps , It also has bluetooth 4.0 and Beats Audio as well as a 3.5mm audio jack. It has the follwing sensors :-Gyro Sensor, Accelerometer, Digital Compass, Proximity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor. Additional features are Video Stabilization, MMS Enabled, To-do List, Calendar, Polaris Office, In-built Battery with the Sim Slot upper side of the Handset, Voice Input, TV Out Port. For a price tag of Rs. 36099, it is not-so-affordable but if you wish to spend a lot for the more, then go for it or else prefer the Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 4.
