The eSys Core Duo Ameetza PC is quite a smart notebook, looking at its price and performance. Powered by 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium Mobile Processor M725 with 2-MB L2 Cache, 533 MHz FSB, Intel 945GM + ICH7M chipset motherboard, 1GB DDR II RAM, 160GB 7200 rpm 160GB SATA hard disk drive and DVD Super Multi Double Layer Drive, this notebook is really powerful.
The eSys Ameetza Laptop PC sports 15.4 -inch (38.5 cm) Superfine WXGA TFT Display powered Intel Graphics Media Accelator GMA 900 with up to 128 MB shared memory offering up to 1280 x 800 pixels screen resolution in 16 million colours.
Preloaded with freeDOS or Linux OS, the eSys Ameetza Laptop PC comes with integrated WiFi 802.11a/b/g wireless connection, integrated Bluetooth connection, integrated 10/100/1000 Realtek RTL8100CL Ethernet LAN connection, and standard 56kbps V.92 fax/modem card for connectivity.
The eSys Ameetza Laptop PC also offers integrated 7-in-1 Card Reader supporting Multimedia Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Secure Digital Card, and MS-PRO media cards. Photo or video files can be accessed via a combination of these supported media cards.
For enhanced security, eSys Ameetza Laptop also offers Pre-OS boot authentication, a BIOS booting user password protection, the HDD user password protection and security lock and a standard Kensington lock hole.
Weighing 2.5 kgs with battery pack, the eSys Ameetza Laptop PC comes with integrated Altec Lansing Stereo Speakers (1.5W each), offering Realtek ALC655 audio controller with built-in AC 97 Stereo Sound with 3D Sound effect. In addition, the Laptop offers 2 USB v2.0 compliant 4-pin connectors, ExpressCard 54mm port, S-Video TV-out port and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) integrated port.
Although the battery of the notebook slightly extends from the back, which naturally gives an odd look, but if you go by the performance of that much of odd look, you will surely justify the appendage. The notebook can give you nearly 5 hours of battery backup – almost a day’s work. However, my strong feeling is that if it does not give 5 hours of backup in case of extensive use of various battery-gobbling applications, but the Laptop surely sustains for 3 hours.
The biggest advantage is its wide screen in 15.4” range. One can have a better look at the documents and images in the monitor. With pricing around Rs.26,000/-, it is the cheapest one in the competition. However, the competitive price does not mean compromising on quality. The product provides all the frills and even more than other brands.
