Takin' Care of Business in Style Professionals don't want a dingy-looking, plastic-covered bulky laptop ruining their otherwise sophisticated impression at a meeting. So, can the thin Vostro V130 give you an air of style while facilitating your workflow? HP Compaq 2230s Battery

Dell Vostro V130 470UM: HP ProBook 4405 Battery Sturdiness meets Mobility?It's alive! The Vostro, it's alive again! That's right, folks. Dell has released a new business subnotebook under its Vostro line! It's been almost a year since the Vostro V13 with a Penryn Low-Voltage (processor codename) jumped out onto the market in a compact 13.3" form. The Penryn era was already, however, coming to an end, soon to be replaced by Intel's new Arrandale CPUs. HP 4410t Mobile Thin Client Battery

Now, embarking upon a new year, the Dell folks based out of Texas present to us a big update to their compact Vostro subnotebook. This time the V130 13.3" subnotebook comes with an up-to-date chipset (Intel HM57) and an Arrandale processor (Core i5 470UM) and an improved cooling system. Aside from that, the variety of ports has been increased as well as shifted around.HP ProBook 4405s Battery

Read on to see whether this upgrade made a difference. The V13 test model from the beginning of 2010 could only manage a battery life of four hours (WiFi test) even with its low-voltage processor. Can the V130 outdo its predecessor and hold out longer away from the power outlet?HP ProBook 4406 Battery

This review of the Dell Vostro V130 470UM replaces the short test of the pre-production model of the V130 from the 1st of December 2010. This time our test model is the same that's available to you. The measurements here concerning battery life, performance, design, etc. describe the actual model currently on the shelves of many stores.HP ProBook 4406s Battery

Tight HingesDell has taken on a whole new design paradigm in 2010,HP ProBook 4410s Battery not just for Vostros but also XPS 15"/17" and Inspiron models. The screen hinges are no longer located at the very back of the base unit or hanging off it as in the case of "sunken hinges". No, Dell has improved upon this design by placing the display hinges a centimeter to the front of the base unit's back edge. This not only helps with production of the laptops but also facilitates use of the laptop in several ways.HP ProBook 4411 Battery

Especially small and thin notebooks, like the Vostro V130, profit from the base unit jutting out behind the screen hinges. For one, ports can now be placed at the back without being obstructed by the screen tilting back. This means less cables coming from the sides and cluttering up desk space. The sturdiness of the construction has improved dramatically, as the V130 goes to show. HP ProBook 4411s Battery

The sturdy case is noteworthy (only 19.7 mm high when closed).HP ProBook 4412 Battery The metal hinges hold the screen upright and tight and only does the cover wobble when shaken violently. The maximum angle for opening the cover is hardly affected by the back edge of the base unit, coming to 140º. "Normal" notebooks with typical sunken hinges open up to a maximum of 130º to 140º. What's particularly praiseworthy is the rubber bumper in the screen hinges that allows for the display cover to come to a stiff but cushioned halt when opened as far as it can go. HP ProBook 4412s Battery

The completely aluminum case consists of a removable base plate,HP ProBook 4413 Battery a top cover (surrounding the keyboard) and the display lid. The only plastic part is what holds the mainbord, hard drive, battery and fan together on the inside. The total weight of 1.638 kg is just about average for subnotebooks. Competitors like Apple's MacBook Air (1.33 kg) or the Adamo XPS (1.43 kg) are noticeably lighter. You wouldn't expect the Vostro to weigh so much looking at its compact case, but it adds to the quality and sturdiness of the case. HP ProBook 4413s Battery

Particularly noteworthy is the how the display lid closes quickly. One thumb is enough to open it up, but two magnets located on either side of the display frame pull it down toward the base unit to shut firmly. However, this does not prevent the display lid from dropping open when the laptop is held upside-down by the base unit.HP ProBook 4415 Battery

Finally, the last part of the case's sturdy design is the non-removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 30 watt-hours (located underneath the base plate). Nothing has been changed in terms of the placement of the battery or its capacity compared our test model's predecessor, the V13. HP ProBook 4415s Battery

Card Reader at the RightWhat's really exciting is the placement of the ports. HP ProBook 4418 Battery We usually end up criticizing most notebooks for the lack of ports at the back, which otherwise reduce the number of cables flowing forth from either side of the laptop and cluttering up workspace. Luckily, the V130, like its predecessor, has most ports at the back. The strip of sleek aluminum at the front is broken up only by a card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro/xD).HP ProBook 4416s Battery

Compared to its predecessor, the V13, the back of the new V130 has been completely revamped. Now, in addition to the exhaust vent (middle), there's also an air intake vent (far left). This means the eSATA, VGA, USB and Ethernet ports had to be shifted over. Since the V13 only had one USB 2.0 port, Dell's made things a bit easier by adding two more USB ports and an HDMI port. One of the three USB ports is a USB/eSATA combo port.HP ProBook 4418s Battery

Both audio ports have been conveniently placed at the front. HP Mini 311 Battery The ExpressCard34 slot has, however, been removed (compare to Vostro V13). The cooling system has taken on a completely new shape and thereby forced some structural reductions. At the front on the left you won't notice a port cover marked with a black dot. In the V130 model with an HDSPA module, a SIM card could be inserted in this spot. So that the SIM card could not be taken out accidentally or by an angry coworker, you need something like the tip of a paper clip to pull out the SIM card tray. Removing a SIM card while its in use may damage it!HP Pavilion dm1 Battery

Desktop Replacement. Those searching for a performance-oriented gaming notebook whose technology doesn’t already belong to yesteryear are well served by the barebones manufacturer Schenker. The 17-inch XMG P701 PRO shines with a slick design and high-end components of the first order.FUJITSU FPCBP160

Though with other manufacturers one is more or less limited to predetermined hardware configurations, Schenker gives customers carte blanche to choose their own components. With exception of the display, the XMG P701 PRO can be tailored in various ways on their homepage mysn.de.Fujitsu FPCBP160AP

For gamers the graphics card is,FUJITSU FPCBP159 naturally, of great importance. Instead of the standard GeForce GTX 560M, the current reference models from Nvidia and AMD can be substituted. The GeForce GTX 580M and the Radeon HD 6990M are the current category heavyweights for mobile graphics in the notebook market. The processor is also of strong lineage, Schenker offering nearly the complete palatte of Intel’s most current Sandy Bridge processors.Fujitsu FPCBP159AP With a look at the performance capabilities of the aforementioned graphics cards, we would recommend to you nothing less than a quad-core on the level of the Core i7-2630QM or the 2760QM (the most expensive model is only warranted in certain circumstances). FUJITSU FMVTBBP111

The memory shouldn’t play second fiddle to the rest of the components—a maximum of 32GB of DDR3-RAM is possible, although for most users 8GB is more than plenty. The greatest variety comes when choosing a hard drive. Thanks to two different bays, the available HDDs, SSD’s and SSH’s (hybrid modules) can be combined in wild fashion. FUJITSU FMVTBBP112

On the entertainment front Schenker also delivers the goods. Instead of a normal DVD-burner a Blu-ray combo drive or a Blu-ray burner are optional. A radio-module is not part of the standard FUJITSU FPCBP207package—depending on the model one will pay up to 40 euros extra. Lastly, there aren’t any surprises when it comes to the operating system, the 64-bit variants of Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate are available. FUJITSU FPCBP207AP

For the rather sparsely equipped basis configuration, Schenker is asking 1199 Euro. Those who long after one upgrade or another are quick to land at a measurably higher price: our well-equipped test model (see the specifications sheet on the right hand side) came in at over 2000 Euros. FUJITSU FPCBP208

straightforward caseThe matt-black chassis leaves an impression of quality behind on the user. The underlying Clevo P170HM-barebone has, by itself, a very frugal appearance. In comparison to other manufacturers, Clevo has foregone color and design experimentation that wouldn’t have done the notebook justice. The single highlight is the removable XMG-logo on the cover.FUJITSU FPCBP208AP

Qualitatively speaking the 17-incher is worth a glance or two, as the display lid and the palm rest are made of high-quality aluminium.FUJITSU SIEMENS S26391-F421-L200 The shiny (and therefore extraordinarily sensitive) plastic bezel pieces could have been spared, though when it comes to workmanship there is very little to complain about. Disregarding the loosely situated strip above the keyboard and the not-quite-so-perfect way that the battery locks into place, the chassis keeps a tidy figure. FUJITSU SIEMENS S26391-F421-L300

Furthermore, the notebook has a passable solidity to it, FUJITSU SIEMENS SMP-EFS-SS-22E-06 though the chassis does demonstrate a little bit of give in the optical drive area when a great deal of pressure is applied. As with most notebooks, the display lid could also be a bit more stable and the relatively heavy-duty looking display hinges weren’t completely confidence-inducing, as the display wiggled back and forth when the base was shook. Positive: the process of opening the lid only allows the base unit to move a marginal amount. FUJITSU SIEMENS S26391-F6120-L470

In short: a large number of users will be completely satisfied with the design of the chassis. For routine transport though, the notebook is not as friendly, as it weighs around four kilograms—a number that does not lend itself to those always on the go.Fujitsu CP335311-01

The ample interfaces available on the XMG P701 PRO are one of its greatest strengths. As long as one is willing to overlook the lack of an ExpressCard slot, users will find all of the interfaces that one can expect these days from a desktop-replacement. Fujitsu FPCBP175

Four sound ports (surround-sound), five USB-ports (2x USB 3.0) join two digital video outputs (DVI and HDMI), as well as a Firewire and eSATA port. The package is rounded out by a 9-in-1 card reader, a Kensington lock and an antenna input (TV card not pre-installed). Fujitsu FPCBP198

The placement of the interfaces is something worthy of praise: since all of the ports are situated close to the back or on the back itself there is plenty of room—even with many cables connected—for a mouse. Super! Fujitsu FPCBP234

Schenker outfitted our test model with the most expensive of the wireless radios on offer. Bigfoot’s Killer Wireless-N 1103 network adapter (WLAN a/b/g/n, 2.4 and 5 GHz) doesn’t have Bluetooth but counters with a comprehensive software suite. For the hardwired, the standard RJ-45 Gigabit LAN connection allows one to dive in to the limitless expanse of the internet. Fujitsu FPCBP234AP

Also included on this gaming notebook is a fingerprint scanner, an integrated microphone and a webcam with 2.0 MP of resolution. FUJITSU CP345809-01

Those who order the XMG P701 PRO with the OS included need not worry about superfluous software installations. Apart from the free Microsoft Office 2010 Starter, Schenker only provides the drivers necessary for the chosen hardware. As such, after the initial startup the experience is pleasantly smooth. Other manufacturers who take enjoyment in filling up their devices with useless programs should take a page from Schenker’s book. FUJITSU FPCBP186

The adventure shooter, Farcry 2, is a bit more demanding on the hardware. The Geforce GT 540M supplies an average of 57.8 fps in the according benchmark test (1024x768, dx10, high). The comparison in our data base is surprising: The Geforce GTX 280M also only achieves 62 fps in this case. This could indicate an unusually high CPU influence or an extremely good driver optimization.Acer TravelMate 2440 Battery

Sims 3 is sooner within the application range of the incorporated Intel graphics. Acer TravelMate 3240 Battery The game still keeps a vast amount of users satisfied even after the umpteenth extension. This doesn't represent a problem for the GT 540M that even conjures up a smooth 57.1 fps onto the screen with high graphic details (1280x1024, high). Nevertheless, the graphics card doesn't quite meet the expectations in the comparison. An ATI HD 4670 can already serve with about 62 fps.Acer TravelMate 2470 Battery

Anno 1404 still belongs to the graphically demanding economic simulation tracks. Thus, it's not very surprising that even the strong Geforce GT 540M starts to stutter with 25.2 fps in high graphic settings (1280x1024, very high). The Intel HD Graphics 3000 walks out with 8.8 fps. Depending on the tested comparison system, the GT 540M positions itself in the HD 5650's vicinity.Acer TravelMate 3250 Battery

The race game from the NfS series also needs according resources for graphical representation. The Geforce GT 540M supplies an average of 27.1 fps in our benchmark test in high details (1366x768, high, 4x AA), and thus a not completely smooth image. The Geforce GT 540M positions itself autonomously in the area between an ATI HD 5730 (21 fps) and a Geforce GT 445M (32 fps).Acer TravelMate 3280 Battery

We continue with another race simulation representative. The GT 540M graphics card provides a convincing result in high graphic settings (1366x768, high, 2x AA) with 32.1 fps and is on par with the GT 445M or the GTS 360M GPU. The incorporated Intel Graphics 3000 refused to start the games demo version we used due to a graphics error.Acer TravelMate 3300 Battery

The relating benchmark test gives an average of 34.9 fps in high graphic settings (1366x768, dx10, high). That is smooth rendering with the GT 540M GPU enabled. This roughly corresponds to the Nvidia GT 420M GPU's rates in our data base.Acer TravelMate 4320 Battery

Football fans in front of the PC naturally want to follow their favorite team as smoothly as possible. The GT 540M achieves this easily in the test (1366x768, high, 2x AA) with 129.5 fps on average. Even the otherwise frequently stuttering intermediary sequences run surprisingly smooth. A look in our gaming data base shows notebooks with a GTX 460M GPU on an equal performance level. The CPU performance likely contributes a major part here, as well.Acer TravelMate 4520 Battery

The successor of the well-known gangster epic supplies an average of 34.8 fps in the integrated benchmark test on a high detail level (1366x768, high, 16x AF). This result is a bit above the HD 5650, roughly on par with the GT 435M, or the ATI HD 5730. The incorporated Intel graphics unfortunately failed here, too.Acer TravelMate 4720 Battery

The multi-player strategy track runs smoothly on the Asus N53SV even in high graphic details (1366x768, high) with an average of 34.9 fps. The GT 540M graphics card places itself in front of the GT 435M GPU and even leaves the HD 5650 clearly behind.Acer TravelMate 6231 Battery

A gaming suitable notebook also has to render CoD smoothly with good graphics. That's no problem for the Asus N53S. An average of 40.8 fps in our benchmark test (1366x768, high, 4x AA) is evidence for sufficient performance reserves. Merely the GT 335M graphics card was able to supply a comparable result in out gaming comparison. The HD 5650 is slightly topped once again.Acer TravelMate 6252 Battery

BFBC2 belongs to the same genre.Acer TravelMate 6492 Battery It has always proved to be a bit more demanding than Call of Duty in previous tests. This test also confirms this observation. Our test supplied an average of 31.9 fps in high details (1366x768, high, 4x AF). That's enough for a smooth game play as a rule, but lacks performance reserves to cover short peaks. This more or less corresponds to the observations we made with HD 5650 GPU test systems. The GT 540M is on par with this AMD competition chip in this game.Acer TravelMate 6291 Battery

The latest edition of the Call of Duty series is about on par with its predecessor in terms of hardware requirements. Our benchmark test provides smooth 52.4 frames per second in high graphic details (1366x768, high 2x AA, 2x AF) and pushes the Geforce GT 540M clearly above the level of an ATI HD 5650 (40 fps). However, it lags behind the GT 445M (57 fps).Acer TravelMate 6493 Battery

The practical gaming benchmarks have ultimately confirmed what had already been predicted by the surprisingly high generic benchmark test results. The Asus N53SV can set new accents in the field of compact multimedia notebooks due to the new Intel Huron River range with the strong Sandy Bridge CPU and just as innovative Nvidia Geforce GT 540M graphics card. It boosts the standards for performance rating quite a bit.Acer TravelMate 6593 Battery

The GT 540M GPU usually places itself above the ATI HD 5650 graphics card. It provides sufficient performance reserves for many modern games to be played in the native HD resolution in high graphic details smoothly.Acer TravelMate 6553 Battery

Due to the new Intel Sandy Bridge quad core CPU's exceptionally good performance, a possibly positive CPU influence on the recorded results should be considered in the tests above. All comparison devices were equipped with a Clarksfield or Arrandale chip. Details about the gaming performance of Intel's HD Graphics 3000 can be found in this review.Acer ICY70 Battery

As to the Asus N53SV's sound level, the notebook has an effective ace up its sleeve: Nvidia's Optimus. The dedicated GPU is disabled when performance isn't needed and the incorporated Intel HD Graphics 3000 is selected. The user doesn't notice this switching unless various tools are used to visualize the enabled GPU. Toshiba PABAS213 Battery

The graphics card therefore is excluded as a heat source in undemanding office mode and a cooling load of up to 45W remains solely from the CPU. Intel also integrates according energy saving modes into its Sandy Bridge that clock the chip down to 800 MHz when performance isn't needed. Additionally, the 32 nanometer manufacturing technology has a positive impact. Toshiba PABAS227 PABAS228 Battery

The required cooling capacity ultimately turns out accordingly low. The Asus N53SV deactivates its fans completely in idle or less demanding office mode, respectively turns them down to their lowest, almost inaudible level. The only noise source is the 7200 rpm hard disk in this case, which protrudes into the foreground with a well audible noise.Toshiba PABAS117 Battery

The fantasy role game that was released at the end of 2009 isn't brand new anymore. Samsung P460-Pro P8600 Pompeji battery Nevertheless it still puts laptop hardware under high demand. The setting medium (1366x768) is still just playable with most midrange notebooks. Samsung P461 battery A HD 5650 reaches about 33 fps. Our TimelineX 14.1 incher settles to 36 fps. High settings shouldn't be considered with the HD 6550M either (25 fps). A mix of medium & high can lead to the desired result, though. In comparison with the average of all HD 5650 test rates, the new Radeon is faster by 8% (medium) and 12% (high) in any case. Samsung P510 battery,

The first person shooter from 2010 has many fans and could be played adequately in high details (1366x768) with a midrange HD 5650 or Geforce GT 435M until now. The HD 6550M tops this by 9% and supplies 33 fps. The fastest HD 5650 system achieved 32 fps (Aspire 3820TG-5464G75nks, i5-460M). On the part of Nvidia an interested gamer at least needs a GeForce GT 540M to keep up with these frame rates.Samsung Q208 battery

The football game doesn't only let money flow into the pockets of the International Football Association, but also entertains many notebook users due to low requirements. Midrange GPUs, such as the GT 330M or HD 5650, don't even have problems with Full HD and highest details. 35 to 45 fps is easily achieved. Thus, it's not a problem for a HD 6550M either. It accomplishes 89 fps in the native 1366x768 pixels (high details). Samsung Q210 battery

The HD 5650 isn't yet out of the running. It can at least almost keep up with the HD 6550M in the test games and DirectX 11 benchmarks. In case of a combination of HD 6550M with a weaker i5-460M or even i3 CPU the newest Radeon offspring will likely be on par with its older sister. Be that as it may, gaming fans will get the suitable hardware for all mainstream games in medium and high details with the present configuration. Samsung Q308 battery,

We will supply a detailed gaming test of the new HD 6550M in the test device at hand in about a week. Samsung Q310 battery,

An important question: How much noise do owners of the TimelineX 4820TG have to accept? We can give the all clear. The cooling system stays very quiet without load. It gets audible, but never disturbing under load. The 4820TG only has one vent on its left in opposition to the Aspire 3820TG. Samsung Q318 battery

Undemanding office tasks, such as surfing, typing or listening to music run in low revolution levels (31.2 up to a maximum of 32.9 dB(A)). When the 14.1 incher is in idle (particularly with a disabled HD 6550M), then the fan even occasionally turns itself off completely. An active HD 6550M (standard in mains operation can be disabled, though) lifts the average level by one dB(A)., Samsung Q320 battery,

When the HD 6550M has to work hard (3DMark2006), the noise volume increases to a tolerable 37.2 dB(A). The fan rotates consistently and changes its speed gently. When the CPU and GPU are both under full load in the stress test (Prime 96 + Furmark), the noise increases to 41 dB(A). This noise wasn't achieved during the gaming tests. The fast decrease when the load comes to an end is praiseworthy. Samsung Q322 battery,

We consider the fan management as successful. No howling under load, no roaring and a fairly low maximum noise level. The fan usually remains unobtrusively in the background. It only attracts attention during gaming or CPU stress, but isn't disturbing. Samsung R408 battery,

The temperatures don't exceed 24 degrees on the surface in the energy saving idle mode (Intel HD enabled). The base plate's temperature increases selectively to 31 degrees, but stays at 25 degrees on average. The temperatures increase by up to 5 degrees during undemanding office use. Samsung R410 battery

The cooling system doesn't show any weaknesses under high load. The work surface's left side heats up to about 40 degrees overall. The bottom is at most at the same level. The average is 34 degrees (top), respectively 30 degrees (bottom), which is due to the considerably cooler edges., Samsung R453 battery,

The sensors on the 640M CPU report a maximum of 89 degrees during the stress test. The HD 6550M heated up to 77 degrees. Performance losses didn't turn up in the CPU or GPU during the 7 hour stress test (thermal throttling). 3DMark06 finishes with almost the same rates. Samsung R458 battery,

The stereo speakers are located above the keyboard beside the Dolby Home Theater logo., Samsung R463 battery The Dolby enhancements should be kept enabled in any event. The audio enhancer in particular differentiates the otherwise very flat and almost tinny sound. We don't experience a multimedia subwoofer sound with clear trebles and differentiated basses, but it's sufficient for home use and undemanding ears. The volume is sufficient. A scratching of the membrane doesn't turn up on the maximum level.Samsung R458R battery

Connecting external speakers (analog or digital via SPDIF) is a remedy. We test the audio out with two active Yamaha speakers (YST-M20SDP). The volume tethered to the notebook is moderately high, but static-free., Samsung R464 battery

A sticker on the device informs the buyer about a battery life of up to eight hours. Samsung R465 battery This statement can't be confirmed in our tests. We can only push the 14 incher to 6:57 hours in idle. This is a good result for a Core i7 system with such strong performance. In comparison: , Samsung R468 battery, A Travelmate Timeline 8371 (14.1 inch, SU9400, GMA 4500MHD, 62Wh) lasted for 7:22 hours in 2009. This device however, didn't have a graphics card and was equipped with an ultra low voltage Core 2 Duo CPU (TDP=10 watts). A TDP of up to 35 watts operates in the present 4820TG (CPU, Intel HD, memory controller)., Samsung R467 battery

MSI has collaborated with the company Dynaudio for the sound system. That this was a very good decision quickly becomes obvious in the GT663R. The installed 2.1 system (two loudspeakers & a subwoofer) is amazing right from the start with a surprisingly natural, clean and strong sound. Not only do explosions in movies and games delight you, but the bass is also audibly very present in music pieces due to the subwoofer.Dell Inspiron 910 Battery

Moreover,Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Battery the maximum volume proves to be unusually high. The soundscape is still very dominant even a few meters away. The GT663R can collect even more bonus points with its support for the multi-channnel sound system DTS (digital theater system). It can easily be modified to suit individual needs via Audio Manager (see screenshot). All in all, external speakers – in opposition to many other notebooks – aren't mandatory. Only few devices, such as the Dell XPS 17, have a similarly good sound.Dell Inspiron Mini 9n Battery

MSI supplies the GT663R with a strong nine cell battery (87 Wh, 7800 mAh), which provides adequate runtimes. More than three hours are possbile in low load when the brightness is reduced to the minimum value (BatteryEater's Reader's test). The wireless internet surfing time is also acceptable. We achieved about 2.5 hours with maximum brightness and moderate energy saving options.Dell Vostro A90 Battery

The battery life caves in even more in DVD rendering. Not quite two hours aren't enough for a blockbuster. We finally executed BatteryEater's Classic test with maximum brightness and disabled energy saving options: 76 minutes are typical for a gaming notebook.Dell Vostro A90n Battery

Unsurprisingly, the GT663R's high-end components consume a fair amount of energy. The sister model, GX660R (Radeon HD 5870), consumption rates are almost matched with nearly 50 watts in idle mode and 120.7 – 165.6 watts under load. We have illustrated the power consumption with enabled Turbo Drive Engine in the following chart.Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Battery

MSI GT663RAfter finishing all tests, we can give the MSI GT633R good rates. The fairly scratch and smudge resistant 15.6 inch case isn't exactly light and petite. Nevertheless, the lavish connectivity is beyond any doubt (except for the lacking Firewire port). Additionally, large amounts of data can be transferred to an external medium easily due to two fast USB 3.0 ports.Dell Latitude 2100 Battery

The sound is also above-average. You only hear such impressive sound in the fewest notebooks. The GT663R's biggest advantage is its brute power. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460M and Intel's Core i7-740QM create a very potent duo that deals with most fields of application successfully. Eight GB of DDR3 RAM and a RAID 0 array of two fast 7200 HDDs are another guarantee for high-performance.Dell Latitude 2110 Battery

MSI still has to improve a few areas. The always present fan that especially gets on your nerves under load would have to be mentioned first. Beyond that, we would have expected a higher quality display at a price of around 1600 euros.
