Review: Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Sistem Operasi Windows 8

Windows 8 adalah Sistem Operasi terbaru dari Microsoft. Sistem Operasi ini resmi dirilis pada tanggal 26 Oktober 2012 kemarin. Sistem Operasi Windows ini di keluarkan dalam 3 versi,Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro dan Windows 8 RT. Namun sekarang telah terdapat update Windows 8.1 yang bisa di dapatkan di Windows Store.

Untuk itu tim Gadgets Effect ingin me review tentang Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Sistem Operasi Windows 8 yang akan di ulas berdasarkan Sistem Operasi yang kami install. Kami menguji pada Windows 8 Pro with Media Center.

Kelebihan.

Booting dan Shut down cepat
Terbukti saat Gadgets Effect menguji dengan menyalakan Laptop yang terinstall Windows 8, booting hanya dalam hitungan detik saja, setelah itu sistem operasi langsung siap dijalankan. Tidak seperti pendahulu nya Windows 7, Windows 8 lebih siap tanggap meski baru di nyalakan.

Tampilan Lebih Berwarna dan Simpel
Tampilan Sistem Operasi ini lebih berwarna serta dinamis, tidak seperti pendahulunya, perpaduan warna di Windows 8 lebih harmonis. Terbukti saat Start up Windows 8 ini masuk dalam Start menu yang disuguhi warna menarik. Tampilan ala metro ini menjadikan desain yang simple namun elegan. Tampilan Metro ini merupakan Kelebihan Windows 8, karna dengan diusungnya desain baru ini menghemat kinerja Kartu Grafis, sehingga lebih responsif untuk menjalankan Game High End.

Telah Mengusung Layar Sentuh
Layar sentuh pada Windows 8 ini terbilang sangat responsif. Kami mengakui bahwa Sistem Operasi ini lebih cocok digunakan untuk Laptop berlayar sentuh.

Konsumsi RAM Hemat
Saat kami menjalankan Task Manager, Performance Windows 8 cukup apik dengan hanya mengkonsumsi RAM di kisaran 600MB. Kami menguji pada Sistem Operasi yang telah terinstall Program standard seperti Office, Corel, Adobe, AutoCAD dan beberapa Game.

Software Terbaru yang Lebih Baik
Sebagian orang pasti tidak menggunakan Internet Explorer sebagai browser mereka. Namun tidak di Windows 8, Internet Explorer terbaru Microsoft lebih responsif ketimbang pendahulunya.

Kekurangan

Belum Banyak Support Software
Ini terbukti pada fitur Compability, masih banyak software Windows 7, Vista dan XP yang tidak dapat dijalankan di Windows 8 meskipun telah mengatur fitur Compability.

Membingungkan
User Interface pada Windows 8 ini masih sangat membingungkan bagi banyak orang, banyak sekali fitur fitur penting yang justru disembunyikan. Kami juga kecewa karna Windows 8 tidak dapat bergabung di HomeGroup Windows 7. Dijaman yang canggih ini, harusnya Windows 8 lebih dinamis lagi pada segi sistem dan komunikasi. Dari segi desain Metro juga belum terlalu efisien, dengan tampilan Fullscreen metro membua banyak Shortcut yang tidak dapat diakses.

Banyak Driver yang Tidak Support
Banyak sekali driver yang belum support seperti Bluetooth, bahkan sebagian pengguna tidak dapat terhubung dengan hotspot meskipun telah terinstall driver Wireless.

Kesimpulan

Windows 8 sangat bagus dari segi performa, namun masih kurang memadai pada beberapa fitur fitur sederhana. Harga yang di banderol sangat lah wajar untuk membawa pulang DVD Original Windows 8.
Tentu nantinya Microsoft akan menyediakan lagi update terbaru yang lebih baik.

Review: Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Samsung Galaxy S4

Kali ini Gadgets Effect akan membahas Review Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung memang mulai digemari dikalangan Smartphone, namun tetap saja tidak ada produk yang sempurna, untuk itu kami membahas Kekurangan dan Kelebihan Samsung Galaxy S4 ini.

Kelebihan:

Desain

Desain terlihat kokoh ketika kita melihat pertama kali, case ponsel ini mengadopsi bahan plastic yang sangat solid dan juga ringan, mantap untuk digenggam walaupun smartphone negri gingseng ini mengusung laya sebesar 5 inch. Tak jauh dengan seri sebelumnya, hanya saja agak sedikit tebal 0.7mm dibanding ‘kakak’ nya, mengingat ponsel ini tahan terhadap air, benturan dan debu, ini takkan jadi hal yang besar.

Layar

Ponsel pintar ini mengusung layar jenis Super AMOLED dengan Resolusi mencapai 1080 x 1920 pixels, warna yang terlihat begitu tajam dan ciamik dengan kerapatan pixel 441ppi. Walaupun Layar Capasitive Touchscreen ponsel pabrikan negri gingseng ini sangat smooth, sepertinya Samsung tak puas sampai disitu, adanya fitur Air Gesture dan Air View membuat ponsel pintar ini dapat berinteraksi dengan penggunanya tanpa perlu menyentuh layar, cukup hanya beberapa gerakan di udara maka ponsel ini akan mengerti intruksi penggunanya.

Processor

Beralih ke perangkat dalam, Samsung mengklain ponselnya mengadopsi processor berinti delapan. Dengan adanya Dual - Quad Core yang mereka klaim dengan nama Exynos 5 Octa, ponsel pintar ini genap memiliki delapan inti yang disebut Octa Core. Exynos 5 Octa ini terdiri atas Cortex A15 Quad Core 1.6 GHz dan Cortex A7 Quad Core 1.2 GHz. Ponsel Samsung Galaxy 4 tetap akan irit baterai meski Processornya garang.

Storage & Memory

RAM 2GB telah disematkan kedalam ponsel ini, layaknya ponsel High End. Internal Storage pun tak kalah besar, Samsung menyematkan Internal sebesar 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. Lebih mengagumkan lagi terdapat High Speed Micro SD Slot yang dapat dijalankan hingga kapasitas 64GB.

Kamera

Untuk urusan penjepretan, dual kameranya dapatn menjadi andalan urusan fotografi anda. Dengan Front Camera 13 Mega Pixels dan Rear Camera 2 Megapixels dilengkapi pula LED Flash dan Autofocus. Video Recordingnya dapat merekam Video High Definition dengan ukuran 1080p. Fitur pendukung seperti Eye Tracking sebagai perintah Smart Pause, fitur ini akan menghentikan Video Playing hanya dengan mengalihkan arah pandangan mata dari layar ponsel. Terdapat juga Smart Scroll yang dapat diaktifkan dengan gerakan mata.

Kekurangan:

Ponsel cepat panas. Sebagian pengguna mengeluhkan ponselnya cepat panas. Hal ini sangat wajar melihat processor yang diusungnya terlalu ‘wah’ hanya untuk sekedar ponsel pintar.

Baterai boros. Meskipun pihak Samsung mengatakan ponselnya hemat energy, tetap saja 20% pengguna mengeluh ponselnya boros.

Kecerahan Layar kurang memadai. Untuk sekelas ponsel High End ternyata banyak complain tentang masalah kecerahan Super AMOLED nya.

Beberapa Sensor kurang berfungsi sempurna seperti pada fitur Smart Pause dan Smart Scroll.

Kesimpulan oleh Gadgets Effect.

Ponsel ini patut dimiliki bagi mereka yang mau megrogoh koceknya dalam-dalam. Untuk kelemahan, Gadgets Effect menghimbau untuk tidak menginstall aplikasi berlebihan diluar kebutuhan, meskipun Samsung Galaxy S4 ini memilik spesifikasi yang cukup tinggi, tetap saja pengguna harus pintar menyiasati keadaan.

How to avoid it is to enter the camera and lens into an airtight plastic / ziplock, and then let the camera and lens to adjust slowly to the new temperature.

It should be about 10-20 minutes to adjust depending on the length of the lens. Simple and short lenses like the 50mm prime lens or a zoom 18-55mm takes less time to adjust to the new temperature.

If you already condensing / condensing, do not remove the lens from the camera and insert the camera and lens in plastic and try to remove the air from the plastic. Incorporating water absorbent such as silica or rice can also help.
