Akhter’s latest AN825 ‘All-Day Notebook’ distinguishes itself with an operating performance of eight hours between recharges, enough for the full learning day. For even longer uninterrupted periods, the AN825 can be switched to an ECO mode. This extends mobile operation by a further 2 hours, giving 10 hours total mobile use. (Tests carried out using the BAPCo Mobile Mark 2002). This will more than cover an entire school day.
Several factors combine to achieve the exceptional performance life, these include: a well engineered minimum energy design, the low power demand of the Intel Core™‚ Duo processors, the supporting Intel_ chipset, and the Notebook’s high capacity internal 10,000 mAh battery.
While most Notebooks are currently powered by Li-ion batteries, Akhter’s AN825 uses a high capacity Lithium Polymer battery, which is stable and does not pose a fire or explosion risk. (Leading brand Laptops using Liion have been the subject of recent high profile product recalls). Weight for weight, a Lithium Polymer battery delivers significantly greater power than a Li-ion one, and Lithium Polymer doubles the time between recharges, compared with a NiMH battery of the same weight. Used daily during the working week, the AN825’s Lithium Polymer battery is expected to achieve a four year life span.
The advanced Intel® Core™‚ Duo processors consume less energy than conventional single core processors. By changing the approach to computing the Notebook will generate less heat keeping the AN825 running longer, cooler and quieter.
A processor’s clock speed has until recently been a fair guide to processing power. The parallel processing of Dual Core can handle twice as much work multi-tasking, compared to single core predecessors running at the equivalent GHz clock speed.
The AN825 is a true ‘Centrino’ platform using the Intel® Mobile 945GM Express chipset's low power design, which reduces average power consumption by 28% compared with previous generations, whilst raising data transfer rates by up to 25%.
AN825 incorporates the Intel® GMA950 Extreme Graphics 2 that deliver 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth motion and extreme detail. Memory hungry graphics applications thrive on Dual Core. The experience of a Notebook freezing up whilst an intensive application runs, or emails are downloaded, will prove to be a thing of the past, as these operations are allocated to one of the processors, leaving the other free to handle active hands-on applications. AN825 is designed with the future in mind and can handle Microsoft® Vista’s latest Aero™‚Glass Graphics.
Akhter’s ‘All Day Notebook’ is priced at £499 (ex).
