Bee Zyrex 103G With 3G Modem

These days more and more netbooks that includes an internal cellular modem as a standard completeness. If last month we tested U120H MSI Wind, this time we were coming Zyrex Bee 103G. Modem is located behind the battery, and embedded deep within so that we do not know the brand of modem. But certainly, this modem works on the path and supports standard GSM HSDPA (3.5 G).

When we tried to use Axis network, internal modem successfully 103G Zyrex Bee 0.25 MBps speed record for a local server. In comparison, the test with an external modem Huawei 160G recorded 0.29 MBps. Thus, the quality of the internal modem can be relied upon.

Outside the presence of 3G modem, for ... this netbook also has some features that are rarely met in other netbooks. The first is a Bluetooth facility, while the second facility is a dial-up modem. We're not sure the last facility is still some use, but this netbook at least provides a variety of connection options.

If the side of outstanding facilities, the performance of this netbook is practically no different from the netbook available today. This can not be separated from the combination of standard components used by the majority of the current netbook, namely the Intel Atom N270 processor, Intel 945GME chipset, 1GB DDR2 memory, PC800, and the 160GB IDE hard drive. When compared with the MSI U1000X, we can see the equivalent performance.

Likewise in the endurance test in the battery mode. Although using size 3600mAh battery (under the MSI using 4400mAh battery), this netbook can last about 3 hours when playing 720p HD video. Note at this time entered the ranks of top class of all the netbooks we've ever tested.

But about wearing comfort, 103G Zyrex Bee is quite inconvenient. The main problem is the size of its keyboard keys are seemed very small. If counted, the size is only about 16x12 mm with a distance of less than 2 mm. Compare with HP Mininote - ternyaman current netbooks - which has a keyboard key sizes around 17x16 mm. Because of the size and spacing of the keys are too close, we were difficulties reaching speeds of our standard type. As a result, one push and one type is a common problem.

Beyond that, we did not see a problem in terms of wear comfort. His touchpad was responsive, so that was easy to navigate the entire contents of the screen. Monitor is also able to provide accurate color, although vieweing on the vertical angle was narrow. But with the weight of 1.4 pounds, this netbook is relatively heavy compared to other netbooks.

***

Thanks to the presence of cellular modem in it, Zyrex Bee 103G is a practical mobile devices and can be relied upon when traveling. The price itself around Rp. 5.2 million, so it is still slightly more expensive than the combination of netbook Zyrex "plain" (U.S. $ 4 million) and an external modem (less than Rp. 1 million). So depending on your taste: a practical or economically?

Test Results

Worthy opponent Bee Zyrex U100X MSI 103G is equally have a modem facilities 3.5 G. And both are equal, seen from the results of different testing thin. To be noted is achieved Zyrex time though only 3 hours using a 3600 mAh battery.
