Advent Altro Notebook

Everyone likes ultra-slim laptops. Their sleek and slender cases are definitely a treat to the eye. Here’s another new laptop joining the league – the Advent Altro 13″ Notebook.

The technical specifications of this notebook are quite ordinary. An Intel Celeron 723 processor sits on the inside, working at a clock rate of 1.2GHz. A 3GB RAM feeds this processor with instructions. The hard drive has a capacity of 120GB. The operating system that works in the background is the Windows Vista Home Premium edition. All kinds of displays are handled by the Intel GMA 4500MHD in this notebook. This graphics processor works hand-in-hand with the CPU to display HD content on the 13.3″, 1366 x 768 pixels screen. Adding extra flavour to the HD capability of this laptop is the HDMI port packed along its side. You can therefore link this mobile computer to a larger monitor, like the TV screen, to make viewing high definition videos, more pleasurable.

The Advent Altro resembles the Apple MacBook Air, due to its slender case. Its dimensions are 226mm x 21.8mm x 218mm, and it weighs 1.6kg. However, the MacBook Air will still continue to reign among the ultraslim range of laptops. It still remains the undisputed thinnest laptop.

The drawback with slim laptops is that they can pack in a limited number of ports and interfaces. The Advent Altro is no exception. It houses a single USB port, an audio output and the aforementioned HDMI port. There is an additional MFC port in this laptop too, which can fit in a port replicator dongle and the power cable. The dongle has 2 USB ports, the Ethernet port, the power cord passage and a VGA port.

The Advent Altro Ultraslim Notebook comes with anti-theft software and a finger-print reader. Its battery can sustain usage for about 2 hours. Thus you can manage to accomplish simple mobile computations, like surfing the web, emailing or working with documents, when your traveling. You cannot really use it for watching movies or videos, on the go. Networking wise, you get WiFi, Ethernet and Bluetooth compatibility with this device. This laptop is already on offer and the laptop deal totals up to £600.
