Product Review : Zenith Z-Book

Zenith seems to be living to its old caption -- MNC quality, Indian prices. With its current range of products it's set to achieve a good share in the end-user laptop and desktop segment. Add to it that the company already has some trusted customers in many educational institutions and enterprises where it offers a volume discount and other benefits in the form of license software. And just when I say this, it has come out with another revolutionary product - The Z-Book.

So why is it revolutionary ? Many reasons actually, starting right from a new concept to this-is-what-customers-always-needed to it's-the-next-best-thing at an unbelievable price. Put into simple words, it's a PC-cum-Laptop at a very nominal price. For those cynics and skeptics who cannot hold back thinking about the price, it's into the nervous twentys. Now getting into the skin of the product because that's where all the magic lies. It's actually an Atom processor powered Netbook weighing just 1.1 kg which can be docked on a docking station so as to be used as a desktop. So what big is this rocket science .. ? Hmm, you guessed it right but it does have something in it to be called a revolutionary product. For example, the LCD is a 22" wide screen LCD which has inherent support for TV viewing. So obviously you don't need to pay for a TV Tuner and the LCD becomes a TV when the Laptop isn't docked. A good point to note which even you'll notice from the looks of the Netbook -- It resembles the Apple Macbook. Below is the configuration of the Netbook :

• Intel Atom Processor 1.6 Ghz
• Intel 945 Mobile Chipset with integrated graphics
  
• 1 GB DDR2 RAM
• 160 GB SATA2 HDD
• 10.2" wide LCD
• 2 USB ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• Web-Cam, Inbuilt Mic, Memory card reader

Currently, this product is available across retailers affiliated with Zenith in Mumbai, INDIA. To contact one of the retailers follow Here.

In contrast to all other VMs including Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007, Cisco's VM Ware - Sun Microsystem's Virtual Box surely reigns supreme. Probably it may be the size of the BINARY/INSTALLABLE or its platform independent trait or its ease of use or its stability, everything is just CLASS EXTRAORDINARY. Speaking on its EASE-OF-USE it's very easy to say - Any computer literate individual can use it and run MULTIPLE OPERATING SYSTEMS over your current one.

My Windows 7 Club Party experience

My friends will pronounce me a SINNER if I don't share my Windows 7 club party experience. The party was strictly-by-invitation despite being opened to the public for registrations. At the most, only 25 early bird registrations were approved from general public. Lots of surprises, shockers and bouncers expected by everybody since the party was held at an exotic location - The Boat Club, Mumbai during evening and the audience were explicitly asked as to what their dinner preferences were - Veg. or Non-Veg. Also the audience were given to choose over the web-site whether they would like to participate in installing Windows 7 which never really manifested. So many parameters set before the party and did it live up to it's surprise ... ? Yes, with a lot of BOOZERS, SHOCKERS, SURPRISES and much more...

Firstly, the party venue turned out to be a chill-out hotel and a bar with a kind of a Jacuzzi theme. Surprises surely for everybody coz they(including me) previously thought of a gigantic hall in their mind. Secondly, the organizers had Tablet Laptops and touch-based LCD-cum-PC to let the audience experience the very touch capabilities of Windows 7. Surface Lagoon, Microsoft Maps, Windows XP Mode, Office 2010, Aero interface, Live Essentials, Security Essentials, etc were the other Apps. and features which the audience were enlightened about. From delicacies and relishment point-of-view we had starters and a choice of beer/cold-drink/juice. The crowd was quite sophisticated owing to the very fact that the party was held in Bandra, Mumbai. Overall I'll rate this party 4/5. A nice treat indeed.
