的PlayStation 3 智能: 较小的, 打火机, 更好?
It is lighter, smaller and consume less power than its predecessor: Sony’s new PlayStation 3 Slim acknowledges the criticism of the first models on – but not only brings advantages.
Since its market launch, in early 2007, believes Sony’s PlayStation 3 with unrivaled features. Hardly any device combines Blu-ray player and entertainment station so elegantly in a single enclosure. 然而, the enormous demand for electricity brought the high-tech pack plenty of critiques. Before the end of 2007, Sony responded with a 40-gigabyte model and presented a slightly more economical and quieter version of the console. 然而, buyers had to order the backward compatibility for the PlayStation 2, losing the card reader and two USB ports.
Less electricity, less noise
Since early September, the model “智能” stands on the store shelves. Sony promises: The new console is much smaller, quieter and consumes less power. In order to be able to deliver on that promise, Sony is in the “智能” while still on the powerful Cell processor. This is for the new model but not in 65-nanometer, but first manufactured in 45-nanometer design. The new processor requires less electricity, produces less heat and the fans have rarely start.
Our tests confirm this: In normal operation, there is the console with a power content of about 80 watts. Even when playing Blu-rays, DVDs and even while playing the power consumption does not exceed 100 watts. For comparison: The first PS3 model approved under load up to 200 watts. Save With a daily usage of two hours and a kilowatt-hour cost of 20 cents purchaser of Slim electricity costs by about 15 euros per year. The lower heat comes the smoothness of the best. Without load the device with a very faint whispers 0.2 Sone and will also help the Blu-ray playback is not much louder (0.4 Sone).
结论: Allowed Access
The announced price of 299 欧元, the new PlayStation 3 Slim with its rich performance and substantial improvement in power consumption and loudness is basically a buy recommendation. Especially since the 120 GB 2.5-inch hard drive if needed can continue to easily exchange for a bigger model. PlayStation fans, 然而, look in vain for real innovations.
The new thrift buyers pay the abandonment of ports and backward compatibility with PlayStation 2 With the Slim version is also the Open Platform off feature that lets the console could be transformed into a nearly full-fledged Linux computer. That Sony on a modern console continue streaming on the WLAN standard 802.11 乙 / g sets, rather than block the s more suitable for HD-media-Draft, is also annoying. 终于, we would have preferred that to the PS3 controller finally even in standby mode to charge. If you can live with these limitations, should resort to Slim.
