Point of View Protab 2 XXL Tablet review - Features

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/08/2012 02:00 PM [

Okay let's face some things first, with a 170 EUR product, a company has to save money somewhere. Let's run though some of the key features where we can look at the advantages and disadvantages.

Design and Connections

The ProTab2XXL looks fine, has a black plastic shell (white backside) with soft glossy coated screen. The housing feels sturdy enough to make me believe that if it would fall the product would 'probably' not be damaged. The corners are finished nicely and rounded. The usage of plastic keeps the overall weight down, we measured 684 grams with a full charge and 675 Grams with an empty battery (no that's a joke, 684 Gram,).

Operating system	Android 2.3
Processor	ARM Cortex A8 1.0 GHz
Graphics processor	Mali 400
System memory	512 MB DDR3
Storage memory	4 GB NAND
Display	10 inch 1024 x 600
Touchscreen	Capacitive 5-point touch

USB Connections	1x USB2.0, 1x mini USB2.0
Graphics connections	1x mini HDMI
Card reader	1x MicroSD
G-sensor	yes, 4-way
Weight	680 gr
Dimensions	267 x 164 x 14 mm

Overall OK specs, the tablet will certainly be able to run all modern apps. Towards the right side we see the most connectors like mini-HDMI, USB, micro-sd-slot, headphone slot and power connector. But let's go to the next page and look a little closer at the hardware.

Point of View Protab 2 XXL Tablet review
Today a review on the ProTAB 2 XXL 10" tablet from Point of View from their Mobi range. With a price of only 169,- EUR the specs are decent enough alright. Interesting enough for graphics, the ProTab2XXL also comes with an additional MALI-400 3D graphics chip. Now we never heard of it before tbh, and very little can found about it on the web. But we can certainly measure it's performance and it does allow for FullHD playback. The Mali graphics chip even allows to drive a mini HDMI v1.4 port.

Point of View GTX 570 TGT Ultra Charged review
Today's offering is of course a GTX 570, we nicked it out of the Eindhoven warehouse from the good people at Point of View. See, their TGT team is chunking out several new SKUs based on the GTX 570. Today we'll have a peek at their Ultra Charged model. The UC version is a guaranteed stable factory overclocked product that is overclocked towards a pretty impressive value. See, the default core clock frequency of the GTX 570 is 732 MHz, the TC version is clocked at a blistering 810 MHz, which is a pretty decent overclock. Memory wise spot an increased clock frequency on that 1.2 GB GDDR5 memory as well, taken from 3800 towards 3960 MHz.

Point of View Ion 330 motherboard review
We test an ION 330 based motherboard - ION is a relatively low cost GPU assisted solution that will allow this industry on very short notice to have netbooks with full HD playback quality, in multi-channel HD audio. A solution that even supports CUDA and therefore some simple PhysX functionality, but since it's CUDA compatible, it'll also allow encoding and acceleration of popular video content. A platform that supports Gigabit Ethernet, dual-link DVI (high resolution monitors), acceleration in Photoshop CS4 and heck... you can even play a couple of games or make a mini HTPC out of it, it's just really interesting as the product might be little, yet offers a lot.

GeForce 9600 GSO 384 MB review | Point of View
NVIDIA replaced the GeForce 8800 GS with the GeForce 9600 GSO. The 9600 GSO is still based on the same G92 core with 96 stream processors that the 8800 GS has, but NVIDIA gave card makers a bit more freedom in their designs in terms of own PCB design to and determine their own clocks. This 'old' card will still have 384 MB of GDDR3 memory over a weird 192-bit memory interface. Cards like these will sell for less than 99 Euro, and considering the performance you get returned for that, you'll love it.
