As the data show, the X50 is a particularly strong structure in its category. The processor is dual-core, plus Hyper-Treading, which adds more threads to the execution of tasks. The default of 1 GB is not small, but the available 2 GB is basically enough for everything, at least for the functions for which we can use the machine.
The GMA 950 responsible for the picture isn’t a muscular piece, but since the structure isn’t playable, it’s not worth worrying about due to the weakness. The bottom line is that it supports DirectX 9 and also has some 3D acceleration, so the graphics subtleties of Vista (but rather Windows 7) also appear.
The display does not support the multi-touch control brought to fashion by the Apple iPhone, but these days it is not a prominent shortcoming, nor has the competition even moved in that direction.
The device also excels in accessing networks. As the table shows, wired access is gigabit and wireless supports the n standard. The number of USB ports is also satisfactory, as if we want to connect a USB keyboard and mouse, we still have 3 free ports. The card reader, like the built-in camera, is useful because it greatly expands the usability of the machine.
It's time to turn on the machine and try what it can!
