Chinese review of Toshiba laptop with DVD (and CUBE inside, right?), sold in cooperation with Legend..... chinadaily.net Toshiba reveals latest model of quality lap-top TOSHIBA'S TECRA780DVD laptop is revealing itself to be one of the best and most advanced lap-tops in the world as a result of its high quality, satisfying performance, good configuration and ease of use. Its emergence is the beginning of a new era in lap-top computers. For the first time, lap-tops can be compared favourably with desk-tops in terms of both configuration and performance. The Toshiba TECRA780DVD operates at surprising speed. At the beginning of April this year, Intel company produced Pentium II CPU for lap-top which used to be limited to desk-tops only. Toshiba has been working hand in glove with Intel company in the IT industry for so many years, it adapted to the TECRA780DVD lap-top with Pentium II in no time. That makes the Toshiba TECRA780DVD equal to desk-tops in operational speed. Pentium II 266MHz is 55 per cent faster than Pentium MMX. DIB technology used on the Pentium II is one of the most advanced technologies Intel has. Its performance is fantastic. Its running speed is three times of that of ordinary lap-tops. Its 4MB 64 digital display memory applies the technology equal to SGRAM which operates 20 per cent faster than the speedy EDO RAM does. The 13.3-inch-screen display on the TECRA780DVD lap-top has a definition of 1024*768, and has 16.7 megs of display colour. Besides its vivid visual performance, the TECRA780DVD lap-top also provides users another alternative. Users can connect a larger screen to an external port so that they can enjoy a broader view. TECRA780DVD has a 7.63GB hard disc and a standard memory of 64MB EDO which can be expanded to 192MB. The most outstanding characteristic of the TECRA780DVD is its DVD-rom. DVD is different from both LD and popular VCDs. In the aspect of either technology or audio quality, DVD is simply marvelous. Music fans, audio and video fans and computer nuts are sure to find DVD irresistibly great. Speaking of processing video signals, DVD applies MPEG-2 technology. DVD is compatible with current TV standards. It can store 133 movie minutes in one disk with only one layer. DVD's horizontal resolution is 480 screen lines, compared with 250 screen lines of VCD's resolution.It is obvious how high the quality of DVD's picture will be. Speaking of audio frequency, DVD can adapt many standards, such as MPEG-1 stereo, MPEG-2 surround-sound, Dolby AC-3 surround-sound stereo or PCM. Among them, Dolby AC-3 is a highly efficient and good-performing audio encoding scheme. It compresses MPEG-2Audio information according to man's audio characteristics. DVD's advantage lies in its support for multi-media technology. It is designed in compliance with the needs of computer development. The lap-top's mobility makes it a choice in many places, especially in the fields of mobile communications, information technologies and other fields. The speed of information use is expected to get faster and faster in the future. It will depend on the evolution of multi-media technology and DVD will contribute greatly to that aspect of computer development.
