BenQ S35 comes with a Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 ULV processor, power consumption is only 5.5W; while the card is the Intel 4 Series Chipset Integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD. Heat between the two are not very large, thus significantly reducing power consumption means that machine components can significantly reduce, the circuit design can be simpler, also can be done very thin body. The thinnest part of BenQ S35 is 17mm, the thickest spots are also only 22mm.  

Since the body can do it very thin, the body naturally would not be a very heavy weight. BenQ S35 equips with battery weight of only 1.6 kilograms. The weight of the mainstream 10.2-inch netbook is about 1.3 kg. 13-inch BenQ S35 is clearly considered to be very
lighter while comparing with them.

Battery life is an important factor may affect notebook mobility, apart from laptop weight.If we really want anytime, anywhere using a laptop, you have to ensure that the laptops have a continuous power at any time.  BenQ S35 is carried by a 4-core 2600mAh lithium-ion batteries, not powerful, but by virtue of the characteristics of ultra-low power in CULV platform, after MobileMark 4.01
software measured, BenQ S35′s battery life at 4 hours (vista ultimate sp1 operating system).Compared to most mainstream notebook battery life of about 2 hours, the advantage is obviously.

It is no doubt that notebooks are thin and light are more acceptable. Are there other highlights of BenQ S35’s appearance  worth to mention except thin?BenQ S35 adopts  pure black for the exterior color scheme. A surface covered with a popular piano paint design, eye-catching white “BENQ Joybook” logo located on the side.

Although the design of the piano paint the surface of the visual aesthetics have some advantages, but its disadvantages are also easily contaminated with fingerprints inevitable. It seems that you have to frequently wipe it to maintain the superstructure is sustainable as new.
It is worth mentioning that the workmanship of BenQ S35 appearance is very detailed and unique: cover the piano paint only a part of highlights, roof edges of the diamond reflects the angular design of the BenQ S35 is unusual.  BenQ S35 B-side design and nothing unusual in. The screen frame thickness is moderate, surface and cover is the same piano paint design, in the middle of the top border is a 1.3 million pixel camera.

BenQ S35 keyboard design is very traditional and did not adopt more innovative floating keyboard. Keyboard, the same border with the A side with the same piano paint design. The upper end of the keyboard left and right are respectively wireless network switches, as
well as function keys and power switch.

If you want selection the best design part of BenQ S35, it must be touchpad. BenQ S35 the touchpad used to Satisfy integrated design. Taking into account the region is the most frequent users of hand contact with, its surface is not like the A paint piano surface because it is too easy contaminated with fingerprints .
There is a small point-like depressions in touchpad, making large region appear not so monotonous, small floating-point provides a good sense of touch.

The left side of the fuselage, followed by an external power supply interface and a USB2.0 interface, a set of audio input and output interfaces as well as one multi-Card Reader.

BenQ S35 the right side of the fuselage is relatively more abundant, followed by an HDMI interface, an eSATA port, two USB2.0 interface, a VGA interface and a RJ45 network interface.  3 USB2.0 interface, HDMI interface and eSATA interfaces combined in the current mainstream notebook are uncommon, but as the targeted at BenQ S35 together, I would make a applause for BenQ S35 excellent extension .

Vista’s own rating system, the lowest points is the graphics performance of 3.2 points, while the game graphics performance was only 3.3 points. BenQ S35, taking into account the graphics core is Intel GS45 chipset, integrated GMA X4500 MHD, we should not have
high expectations for its graphics performance, after all, is not an entertainment laptop.

BenQ S35 used SU3500 processor is Intel CULV platform performance-level Core 2 Solo ULV single-core series products. Using 45nm process technology, FSB of 200 MHz, supporting 800MHz FSB, 2 built-3MB cache, clocked at 1.4GHz. The processor’s operating voltage is only 1.013V, support for MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, and EM64T. The SU3500′s TDP is only 5.5W, is clearly less than the mainstream Core 2 Duo processor.

CINEBENCH R10 uses 3D design software CINEMA 4D, 3D engine, used to test the CPU and graphics performance. Tests include two, respectively, for the processor and graphics. The first test simply use the CPU rendering a high-precision 3D scenes images on a single processor, single-threaded the next run only once. The second test is targeted at the performance OpenGL graphics cards.  Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor in a single-core rendering test score of 1491 points, OpenGL graphics performance, part of the score of 542 points, processing 800 × 600 size image with 8 hours 9 minutes 50 seconds. This achievement is quite the same as the same level of CULV products.

Summary
BenQ S35 is right for someone like me who just need a portable performance to meet the browsing the web, edit documents, send and receive e-mail like operation notebook users. For those who buy their first laptop to make daily operations, playing high-definition video, and run simple games and even large-scale 3D game users who no doubt have a conventional processor and discrete graphics cards, mainstream notebook configuration is the wiser choice.

Today, notebooks apparently based on thin and light, BenQ S35 just with 17mm naturally has qualify to let me see it with a new light. Not only in the simple  design, workmanship is very detailed.
If you want to buy a laptop that was going to thin portable, beautiful and dignified, also have a certain performance notebook, the BenQ S35 is for you.

CULV, its full name is the Consumer Ultra Low Voltage. CULV processor that is aimed at consumer-level notebook market, ultra-low voltage processors.The most important features of the emergence of CULV are: “consumption” and “ultra-low voltage.” The so-called ULV, is the ultra-low voltage processor. As early as 2001, Intel released the Pentium architecture in its presence there, but unfortunately their prices too high to see its shadow in the consumer market, also can not speak of consumer recognition of its know. It is now joined the “C” (consumption level), ULV processor is Widely accepted.

Have been launched CULV processors are Core 2 SU9600 (1.6GHz) and Core 2 SU3500 (1.4GHz). The former is a dual-core, while the latter is single-core. These processors are equipped with 4 Series chipsets, constitutes CULV platform.

At the end of the CeBIT2009, MSI X340 notebook appeared on is a representatives of CULV notebook, which has thin blade and MacBook Air’s style.  X340 was able to do so thin, they benefited from CULV processor platform. With the 45nm Core Duo 2P series and T8 series processor power consumption is 25W and 35W, much higher than CULV processor. Significantly lower power consumption means that machine heat dissipation components can significantly reduce, circuit design is more simple, very thin body can do. In other words, the most typical products of CULV, is a 11-inch to 13-inch thin and light notebooks.

Typical

(1) 10W ultra-low power consumption (single-core is 5.5W). CPU frequency have significantly reduced than the same period of conventional CPU products, because of lower frequency is more easy to control power consumption and heat. However, despite the core
structure is very important, but at the same core, the frequency is still affecting the performance of a processor, a decisive factor, so the low frequency significantly limit the overall performance of notebook .
(2) 45nm process.
(3) The Core 2 architecture.
From the definition of CULV we can see that compared to the ATOM platform, CULV has better power control and structure of the advantages, which will enable manufacturers making notebook CULV platform designed to be able to do more often than thin and
beautiful. In fact, from the current release of products of view, thin, and outstanding workmanship have become the common point of this CULV platform. Relative to netbooks, CULV platform for notebooks tend to have more features, more power performance, better
workmanship. A lot of consumers often do not need a notebook which has a strong performance, and they have a limited budget, but have relatively high demand in mobile office, this time, CULV appearance became their best choice.

Meaningful

(1) An unprecedented low price

In people’s minds thin and light notebooks has always been high above, and ultra-thin and light notebooks are only be owned by the high-end business people while the average consumer can do is waiting. Now, the release of CULV has broken the “hidden rules”, widen
the thin and light notebook price segment, also can meet all needs.  Price is not the most important, but the price is often the first element decide to purchase, so a thin CULV brought an unprecedented low price of this is undoubtedly the most practical significance.

(2) Unprecedented thin

Originally the notebook is born to mobile, the use of notebook users want to get rid of cable, use it anytime, anywhere, and one comes mobility, notebook thickness and weight will be very worthy of attention was paid. Previous notebook can do very thin in the mold, this technical difficulty is not great, the real difficulty is once the notebook is very thin, heat became a problem, so the key is to solve the problem of processor power consumption .

This problem has been satisfactorily resolved after CULV processor launched. Single-core CULV processor power consumption is only 5.5W, dual-core CULV processor power consumption is 10W, fully meet the cooling needs of thin and light notebooks. Take a look
at previous articles will be found, the thickness of thin and light notebooks may reach 20mm or 30mm, the thickness of today’s thin and light notebooks can be done less than 10mm, and the weight is about 1Kg. Who would not love such products.

There is an additional effect when CULV processor in solving problems about thin and light, that is to make the laptop more and more beautiful.

(3) An unprecedented long life

In addition to the weight of the impact of mobility, there is an important factor is the battery life. In order to truly anytime, anywhere using a laptop, it is necessary to ensure that laptops have a continuous power at any time.  Previously seen in the high-end notebook battery life is 5 hours , mainstream notebook’s battery life remain generally at 2 hours. But due to CULV platform notebook battery life can be generally up to 6 hours or more, some of a more superior or even higher up to 8-10 hours, this can meet the needs of office around the clock, notebook had been unplugged all day is no longer a luxury dream.
