Review:
Lenovo's business-orientated ThinkPad range is no stranger to PC Pro's A List, and now the first of its newly-redesigned IdeaPad models has landed on our doorstep. The IdeaPad Z560 isn't going to have it easy, though: it joins legions of 15.6in notebooks all desperate to ensnare the casual consumer with promises of power, poise and affordability.

It's certainly good looking. Its glossy black lid is now an elderly design cliché, but while the chassis weighs in at a hefty 2.58kg, the smooth curves and bold Lenovo logo still manage to make many of its competitors look decidedly frumpy. The brushed aluminium interior, meanwhile, shuns gaudiness and colour for a monochromatic, classy feel. Consumer laptop this may be, but it looks like it means business.

Build quality isn't up to bullet-proof ThinkPad standards, the IdeaPad's glossy lid feels well up to protecting the TFT panel within. The base and wristrest also prove impressively taut and stiff. Only the area around the DVD writer feels a bit creaky: picking the laptop up by its corner occasionally produced unpleasant creaks as the DVD writer flexed in its moorings.

We're willing to forgive such minor transgressions in light of the rather excellent keyboard, however. The Scrabble-tile keys provide a lovely feel, and despite the narrow-right shift key (Lenovo has decided to cram the cursor keys in alongside) the layout makes for supremely pleasant typing. The touchpad is less praiseworthy: depressing the soft-feeling buttons often saw our thumbs foul the trackpad and arrest the pointer in its tracks, making drag and drop operations aggravatingly tricky.

The ubiquitous blue ThinkVantage button, ever-present on Lenovo's business laptops, is replaced with a row of touch-sensitive buttons along the keyboard's top edge. A quick dab of the finger is all it takes to mute the volume or slow the cooling fans down for quiet operation, while the other two buttons give one-touch access to Lenovo's OneKey Theater mode and Energy Management application.

Dab the OneKey Theater mode button while watching a movie, and you'll be glad you did. The tinny speakers sound lightweight at first, but the OneKey Theater mode enables Dolby's Audio Enhancer software, which gives audio more body and substance. Image quality darkens slightly, too, which seems to give movies and images a touch more solidity. DisplayMate soon revealed these benefits come at the cost of crushed blacks and some banding in greyscale ramps, however.

With or without Lenovo's OneKey Theater mode, however, the 15.6in 1,366 x 768 display is a competent performer. There's no lack of brightness, and good colour reproduction and fine contrast made a great job of displaying our HD videos and test photographs accurately. As with most notebooks in its class, however, viewing angles are narrow.

You can save money by going for a model equipped with a Core i3 processor, but we can't see why you would, so reasonable are the prices of faster models. Our review laptop had a Core i5-450M at the helm accompanied by 4GB of DDR3 memory, with a dedicated graphics chipset, Nvidia's GeForce 310M, taking the reins from the Intel HD graphics embedded on the processor. It's a highly competent pairing. Our application benchmarks raced to a fine 1.67, and managed a modest 36fps in our Crysis gaming test, with resolution set to the native 1,366 x 768 and detail left at its lowest setting.

It's disappointing that Lenovo hasn't employed Nvidia's Optimus graphics switching technology. Instead, the power-efficient HD graphics embedded on Intel's Core i5 lie dormant; a decision that sees light-use battery life tumble to a distinctly average 3hrs 49mins. Heavy use, meanwhile, runs the battery dry in just 56 minutes.

Elsewhere there's a sizable 500GB hard disk, a 0.3 megapixel webcam, single-band 802.11n wireless and Bluetooth. Connectivity is good too, with a bevy of ports and connectors: D-SUB and HDMI monitor outputs nestle alongside three USB 2 ports, one of which doubles as an eSATA port, and the increasingly rare provision of an ExpressCard/34 slot is complemented by an SD/MMC/xD/MS memory card reader.

Lenovo's IdeaPad Z560 is a confident entry into the consumer 15.6in notebook market. A few niggles preclude it from earning a Recommended award, such as the errant touchpad buttons and poor battery life, but it's nonetheless impressive that Lenovo has managed to shoehorn Intel's Core i5, a dedicated Nvidia graphics chipset and an excellent keyboard into a gorgeous looking chassis for just £554.

Polaroid Touch Screen 8GB MP3 Media Player - PMP280-8

Got this unit for half price during the before Christmas sales and wasn't sure how it would work. To my surprise, it's one of the best touch screen movie and music players that's non iPod and even has an expandable memory card slot up to 32 GB. It also has built-in speakers.

I read the other problems that people had but didn't encounter any of those. However, the movies loaded are all wmv format and not MP4. But, all my music is in mp3 format and the player accepts both wmw and mp3 formats.

I don't know if it will work with iTunes since the only software I've used is Windows Media Player to upload music and movies. I'm giving the player 4 stars instead of 5 because the volume control on video playback doesn't work.

It'll just play at one volume level even if you set it at 1 or 25. But, if connecting with external speaker with volume control, the volume can be controlled just fine.

The music playback volume can be adjusted and does not have this same problem. In summary, it's worth the SALE price for all it's functions.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – April 19, 2010 – Today Norton from Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) unveiled the 2011 beta versions of the award-winning Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security, which are now available for free download from the Norton beta website. Additionally, the company launched its first beta security application for Facebook and two standalone security tools to address the increasingly common menace posed by fake antivirus programs and other infections.


Norton 2011 is Fast and Effective

Furthering Symantec’s commitment to deliver the fastest and lightest security available, the 2011 Norton betas are being developed to improve or maintain key performance benchmarks in installation times, scan times, and memory usage. In addition, the products will include System Insight 2.0 which goes beyond security and alerts users when applications are significantly impacting their system resources.


At the heart of this Norton release is the industry leading reputation-based security technology. This technology, only available in Norton security products, has been proven to attain unmatched detection of new malware far beyond what is possible with traditional security technologies. New to 2011, Download Insight 2.0 increases the breadth of the product’s reputation protection by applying it to virtually every download regardless of the client (browser, email, IM). This helps ensure that users are protected from harmful downloads no matter how the file is delivered to their machine. Additionally, Norton 2011 uses the reputation information to report on the “trustworthiness” of files on a system and help users understand if their download behavior is more or less risky versus the 53 million Norton Community Watch members today.


“With the Norton 2011 release, we’re determined to continue delivering the fastest and most effective security suite on the market,” said Jens Meggers, vice president of engineering, for Norton products. “Further to this, our customers are looking for value beyond ‘core security’ and the free new tools we’re bringing to market will keep the Norton community and the community-at-large safer from the cybercriminals who find new ways everyday to target people’s identity for a profit.”


Protecting the Community-at-Large

In addition to the Norton 2011 beta offerings, Symantec is announcing several new tools in the fight against cybercrime. These tools will remain free and address some of today’s trickiest and most prevalent issues related to malware infection and removal.

  • Norton Safe Web for Facebook - To counter evolving social networking threats and help keep consumers secure, Norton is introducing the Norton Safe Web application for Facebook. This free beta application protects computer users by scanning their Facebook news feeds for malicious URLs, allowing them to identify risky sites before clicking through. This is critical because nearly 60% of unsafe sites identified by Norton Safe Web are found to contain threats that can infect a PC without requiring the user to download or install files. Facebook members can find the free Norton Safe Web application here.
  • Norton Power Eraser - Some threats impersonate legitimate programs, modify browsers or boot screen graphics, and even redirect traffic. Due to their deceptive appearance, users will often times allow the installation of programs that may appear legitimate, but are actually harmful. Sometimes, these "scareware" programs can require special tactics to remove them. With Norton Power Eraser, these threats (and others) are specifically targeted, and effectively detected and removed. Learn about it and download it here.
  • Norton Bootable Recovery Tool (only available to Norton subscribers) – This tool allows Norton users to boot a PC into a safe state when a system is so deeply infected that it will not properly start up. New this year, the Norton Bootable Recovery Tool wizard automatically creates a CD/DVD/USB bootable device in a quick and easy way. Learn about it and download it here.

The Norton Internet Security 2011 beta includes critical features such as Norton Identity Safe which has a new look for 2011, and Norton Safe Web, a Web site rating service that annotates Google, Yahoo! and Bing.com search results with safety and ecommerce ratings. Delivering a safer online experience, the Norton Internet Security 2011 beta toolbar rolls all browser protection technologies into a single interface that not only indicates Safe Web ratings, it prevents users from visiting sites which contain malware, browser or media plug-in exploits, phishing attempts, or which have been determined heuristically unsafe.


All users are invited to try OnlineFamily.Norton, a free Web-based service that keeps parents in the loop on their kids’ online lives.


Beta Availability

The beta is available for free public download now at: www.norton.com/nis2011beta or www.norton.com/nav2011beta. Norton beta testers are encouraged to share feedback and discuss their product experiences in our online Norton Public Beta Forum.

The Good:
*Vibrant colors--of which ancient, grunting, CRT-watching man could only dream.
*HD content is displayed so realistically I'll quit my job and live under a bridge to watch TV all day.
*Even standard-def shows look quite good on this set, like super models only five or ten years past their prime.
*Black levels are significantly deeper than I would have expected based on all the online whinging about edge-lit LED screens (e.g., "Give me local dimming, or give me death!").
*Supa-thin profile makes the compact fluorescent "flat" panels look McDonald's chubby.

The Tolerable:
*Crowded buttons on the remote, which I hardly use in favor of the cable company's universal (or maybe no more than planetary) remote. I'll only pick up the Samsung remote on occasion to adjust advanced settings, but when I do, I often push an unintended button.
*Very slight edge-lit brightness on black borders. Much of what's on TV will fill the screen, so you won't even have the opportunity to notice the effect. Really, it's not that bad--I've seen far worse light leakage while watching movies on my 2007 alum iMac.

The Tolerated:
*There's only one thing that bugs me a bit, and it's not a deal breaker. (Besides, I already bought the TV, so the deal has been, well. . . concluded, if you must.) When the screen is mostly black and only a small graphic is displayed somewhere, the LEDs go a bit dim--you can actually see, over a fraction of a second, the light levels drop. I'm assuming that the TV was set up this way so that the LEDs wouldn't be leaking ghostly light on a largely black screen. I've fussed with the settings, but I can't make this effect go away. I haven't yet fully explored all the setting menus, so I just might hit pay dirt soon, or maybe Samsung will nix that effect with a firmware update. At any rate, whatever text is dimmed is still very legible, and when the next screen-filling scene pops up, the LEDs power up without any detectable delay so that thereafter the screen's as bright as it should be. No biggie--it's not enough of a problem for me to scratch a star off the rating.

The Tweakable:
*Turning off motion smoothing is not difficult under most circumstances; indeed, some content begs to be smooved, e.g., sports and competitive cooking shows. But when I first plugged in a movie via the USB drive, I got motion smooving by default and wanted none of it. Whenever I pushed the remote's "Menu" button, I ended on a screen far, far away from the USB drive's content, and ended up adjusting the picture settings for the cable feed and not the target movie on the USB drive. I was bedeviled awhile, but a bit of snooping around the owner's manual led to this minor discovery: by pressing the "Tools" button on the Samsung remote, I could enter a submenu that let me turn off the smooving effect without leaving the movie. Cheap soap opera video effect, begone!

Conclusion:
The picture is what matters most, and this TV's output makes my jaw drop to the floor. Which is rather fortuitous, because I need something down there to catch my eyeballs.
