Posted: 25 May 2011 12:51 AM PDT  Inspired by Nature, Designed for StyleProtecting nature is a joint effort that unites us all, but it doesn't have to exclude innovative design, memorable style and powerful computing potential. With a U Series Bamboo Collection notebook, you can do your part for the environment without compromising cutting edge computing and stylish mobility. It's the natural choice, really.  The Beauty of DesignIf you're both fashion and eco conscious, the U Series Bamboo Collection was made for you. Each notebook sports a smoky brown bamboo exterior that's not overly treated so as to retain its organic look , properties and tactility—creating a personal journey for person and machine as the wood matures and changes with time. The natural bamboo is juxtaposed with sleek, brushed aluminum interior surfaces and a seamless chiclet keyboard that is as comfortable to use as it is great to look at. These smart design decisions add up to a notebook that's very light, making it easy for you to become an ambassador of good taste and environmental responsibility Bamboo was picked not just for its fetching looks; it was chosen after research identified it as a quickly-replenishing resource whose utilization has almost no impact on the environment. Bamboo also has a tensile strength that rivals that of steel, making it a perfect substitute for plastic. The product packaging is equally eco-friendly, made of 100% natural and recyclable bamboo pulp and non-woven packing cloth. The Beauty of PerformanceU Series Bamboo Collection notebooks are as brainy as they are beautiful. ASUS' exclusive Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) monitors processing loads and delivers the exact amount of power suited to the task at hand. Energy efficiency is further bolstered by NVIDIA Optimus technology that switches between high end discrete graphics and normal integrated visuals, depending on system usage. These two intelligent technologies combine to conserve not just our planet, but also the notebook's battery—prolonging usability while lowering energy consumption. U Series Bamboo Collection notebooks also feature Syncables technology that enables effortless syncing with a plethora of devices, including desktop PCs, other notebooks, smartphones and digital cameras. This makes it easy to share files, backup data and access collections quickly. Intelligent syncing allows you to get more done using one light notebook as your nexus—invariably reducing the overall energy footprint as less equipment needs to be powered on at the same time. USB 3.0 is another new addition to the range, enabling data transfers that are up to ten times faster than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is fully backward compatible, so you can be assured that all of your existing USB devices can still be used. And while transferring massive content and large files in mere seconds is a plus, USB 3.0 is also good for the environment, since it charges devices much faster than USB 2.0, requiring less power to do so. The Beauty of Sight and SoundThe U Series Bamboo Collection is designed to deliver a stunning audio-visual experience. The vibrant and crisp LCD panel comes with a Zero Bright-Dot guarantee, providing peace of mind against dead pixels, while ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology automatically tweaks colors, sharpness and other visual parameters to ensure the best experience regardless of the content being viewed. The superb visuals are matched by the notebook's pristine and accurate audio delivery, thanks to high fidelity SRS Premium Surround Sound.

Running on Android 2.2, the Thunderbolt gives off an air of vanity and pride. Boot the handset to see the same thunderbolt in the commercials, along with roaring thunder booming from the stand-hidden speaker. Verizon isn't kidding around with the Thunderbolt, and if HTC's handset is any indication, this heavyweight is meant to show aggression. That it certainly does, with its large screen, 8MP still and 720p video capture and a 1.3MP front-facing camera, 8GB of built-in memory, 768MB of RAM and even an FM radio tuner. Add onto all of those top-of-the-line features 4G connectivity, on Verizon's claim of the fastest nationwide 4G network, and guess who the 800 pound gorilla in the room is.
And, as expected, battery life on the Thunderbolt zaps away all too quickly. On 4G, the device can stay idle for about a day. That is to say, under minimal use. Off of 4G that time increases, but if you're traveling a lot or go between areas with poor coverage, battery life will barely hit a full day. Even with just checking email and the occasional web page, I charge the Thunderbolt nightly. Heavy features like GPS are certainly faster over 4G, and in the Los Angeles area finding places with 4G wasn't difficult, but the cost in battery life almost isn't worth it. Half of my days testing the Thunderbolt required a mid-day charge. That is to say, if you rely heavily on downloading lots of data and making a ton of phone calls, or if you travel constantly (or both), then the Thunderbolt practically requires a spare battery and charger.
Upload rates varied from 700-34,000kbps. You read that right. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise since upload rates really don't matter and with bandwidth freely available on the new 4G network, having such high numbers doesn't mean all that much. What it does mean is that if you want to upload HD video over 4G, they can upload just as fast as if you were on Wi-Fi. Download speeds are a bit more troubling, ranging from 0-19,000kbps. It's troubling for two main reasons: first, these rates may seem high, but actually getting and maintaining a strong connection was next to impossible. Note that most of these tests were performed while standing in place, not while in the car driving. Out of ten speed tests, only two hit 10+mbps, and only one was over 1mbps. What this indicates is that even though download speeds can be very, very fast, the 4G network isn't really in place as well as it can be. Connectivity is still an issue, which may be due to the phone or to the current network. The score of 19mbps took two tries at UCLA's campus, where I expected a fast transfer rate. The first test only had 108kbps down. Upload rates, however, tended to stay over 20mbps, even with limited to no download speed.
So far, Altec Lansing’s Octiv line has included relatively inexpensive Apple iPod and iPhone speaker dock options, spare in features, but enhanced by free apps that help you play DJ. That trend continues with the Altec Lansing Octiv 650, but the $199.95 (direct) price is higher than previous options like the Altec Lansing Octiv Duo M202 ($99.95, 3.5 stars). Still, inclusions like a built-in subwoofer, component video output, and a useful remote help make the price seem reasonable. The Octiv 650 offers commendable audio performance at moderate levels, but can’t handle deep bass at high volumes without distorting. In this price range, however, it’s one of the best options you’ll find, so it’s our Editors’ Choice for under-$200 iPod docks.
