Acer and Lenovo simultaneously upgraded to Haswell chips

Both Acer and Lenovo have introduced new versions of laptops using the latest Haswell processor chip platform from Intel.

After more than a year of launch, Acer has upgraded its M5 laptop to Intel's latest Haswell processor and the ability to work with new WiDi technology from Intel.

Model M5-583P-6428 comes with Intel Core i5 4th generation processor, 8 GB RAM and 500 GB hard drive. It still has a simple design with aluminum frame and a soft bottom to protect the machine when placed in suitcases.

Besides the new Haswell chip, the M5 also supports Intel WiDi technology that allows you to enjoy wireless content on many different terminals. This is not a new multimedia feature, but not all laptops now have this feature.

With the new speaker system offering Dolby Home Theater v4 audio with four 2-watt speakers facing the front of the laptop, Acer promises the product will provide users with a more optimal audio experience.

The machine currently sells for 699 USD, equivalent to about 14.87 million VND.

Meanwhile, on Lenovo's website, the T440s ultrabook models have Haswell processor chip and IPS screen with Full-HD resolution and wide viewing angles have also appeared. However, information about the device is only provided in some basic specifications and the status of the device remains " Coming Soon".

The keyboard is equipped with multimedia buttons to enhance the ability to work on Windows 8 as well as status indicators, dedicated keys and function lock. The device has a wide trackpad that comes with buttons, providing touch capability of up to 5 points. Users can optionally equip the keyboard backlight when ordering.

The machine has 2 3 cell batteries, one of which is available and one is removable. However, the company did not specify the battery life that the device supports. Speakers support Dolby Home Theater v4 audio technology, including a VGA and USB 3.0 video output port. In front of the machine, there is a 720p webcam and NFC connection, but there is no information about other wireless connection as well as the Bluetooth capability of the device.

According to Lenovo, the device weighs about 1.58 kg and the maximum thickness is less than 21 mm. To do this, Lenovo uses carbon fiber shell material, while the lower part is made of magnesium alloy. It is MIL-SPEC standard, allowing to withstand vibration, humidity, pressure, high temperature and dust resistance.
