Products that offer value for money

Money Today's Sam Abraham introduces new products and services to help you zero in on those that offer value for money. Take alook if they are worth to spend the money on.

FUJITSU LIFEBOOK SH531
Price: Rs 45,000
FEATURES:

• 2nd gen Intel Core i3/i5, 2 GB DDR3 RAM, 320 GB (7,200 rpm)
• 13.3 in. LED display, 1366 x 768 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio
  

The SH531 specs are not particularly interesting (Core i5 and i3 variants accompanied by Intel HD Graphics 3000) considering the price. The design is a bit bulky and its not the most pleasant looking machine.

HUAWEI HONOR
Price: Rs 19,990
FEATURES:

• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) upgradable to 4.0 (ICS)
• 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Scorpion, 4 in. screen, 854 x 480 display

This middling smartphone gives great performance for a mid-range device, above-average display and stellar battery life. It's mostly smooth and considering the specifications, value for money.

APPLE NEW IPAD
Price: Rs 30,500-50,900
FEATURES:

• Dual-core Apple A5X chip with quad-core GPU, 5 MP camera
• 16-64 GB storage, Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi+4G (incompatible in India)

What sets the 'new' iPad apart from its predecessor? Sure, it's chipper with a quad-core graphics component but that's to accommodate the gorgeous 2048x1536 Retina display (best ever on a tab).

FUJIFILM FINEPIX JZ100
Price: Rs 8,499
FEATURES

• 14MP image sensor, 4288 x 3216 max resolution, 8X optical zoom
• 2.7 inch LCD screen, USB 2.0

The JZ100 has a close focus distance (minimum distance needed to focus) of 5cm, aiding capture of sharp macro images. Another interesting feature is the Scene Recognition Auto mode that can assess a scene and select the optimal settings to capture it.

MOTOROLA ATRIX 2
Price: Rs 22,990
FEATURES

• 1 GHz Cortex-A9 dual core, 1 GB RAM
• 4.3 in. screen, 960 x 540 resolution, 8MP primary and 0.3 secondary camera

It's no trailblazer-apart from a few spec bumps, a larger display and a change in design, it's similar to the original. Moto has given it elegant curves and smoothed out the sides and back this time around.
