Below Laptop specification
Bangalore: There’s this guy who is marooned on an island for years. One day, a helicopter spots him and takes him back to civilisation. Neither his wife nor his pet dog recognises him. But the moment he sits before his laptop, the device recognises his face, lets him log in, and proves to all around that he’s no stranger.
That’s Lenovo’s upcoming ad, featuring Saif Ali Khan, for its latest laptop — a laptop that provides for face recognition as your password.
As laptop sales in India surge, computer manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell and Apple are all packing more and more technology into these devices.
The China-based $13-billion Lenovo is using biometrics in its new Y300 and Y500 series of notebooks. Show your face and you are automatically logged in.
Many notebooks have begun to serve the greater purpose of providing wholesome multimedia experience. The MacBook Pro from Apple makes it easy to showcase your latest creations. With an Apple Remote, you can navigate your videos, music, movies from anywhere in the room as it remotely connects to other devices, wired or wireless.
“PCs have become a lifestyle product. We are keen on making computing more easy for people. With face identification, users need not remember all the passwords for their email IDs, and provide for security,’’ said Ajay Mittal, VP (brand and marketing), Lenovo India. Lenovo is trying to build excitement around this product with a major ad campaign over the next few weeks.
Some of the new releases are equipped with Dolby home theatre facility, a TV tuner card and a shuttle centre button that lets you navigate easily between photos, movies and other features.
The IBM ‘Think’ series of laptops has an in-built ‘air-bag’ that automatically gauges a situation when a device is about to crash. In that split second, it does the unthinkable — saves all data.
“Almost always, the key reason for buying a notebook has remained mobility. But mobility with high-computing power is most crucial today. As the possibilities of accessing the internet through multiple modalities increase, notebooks will generate more interest,’’ said a Dell spokesperson.
High expectations from notebooks translate to higher storage capability. 80GB storage, coupled with 512MB or 1GB RAM is a norm today. Sony’s Blu-ray Disc enabled Vaio notebooks are compatible with your HDTV at home. They also come with Intel Core 2 Duo and Nvidia Graphics card for high-end gaming. You can store 25-50GB of HD video or data on a single Blu-ray Disc media.
The Lenovo high-end ThinkPad X60 comes with a HDD shock absorber, which absorbs shocks from accidental drops with the ThinkVantage Active Protection System. The fingerprint reader is another feature that provides for high system security and convenience.
A MAIT-IMRB study pegs notebook shipments to India in 2005-06 at 4.31 lakh, growing by 144% over the previous year. In value terms, this represents a size of Rs 2,027 crore, compared to Rs 978 crore in 2004-05.
With so many Indians lapping up laptops and competition among laptop makers intensifying, high-tech features are emerging as differentiators.
