Renault Mégane CC

Summer time for convertibles or cc if you prefer. It is a matter of which the majority of drivers would like to hold a model, but for various reasons do not go to realize the purchase. And whether the proposals are many and quite attractive. And how to resist in a model such as the Renault Megane CC. With a totally fresh look, which promises to draw tens-perhaps jealously-eyes, as happened with our coexistence with the new Megane CC Compared to the Megane CC, second generation, is given by the French more emphasis on comfort and luxury . Furthermore, the new Megane CC, the top of the windshield is mounted in six hundredths ahead, making it even easier access for passengers inside.

The main design feature of the new open model of the French brand, is the large glass roof , with surface reaches 0.47 m It consists of two parts, wrapped and stored in the luggage compartment, which is reduced from 211 liters in 417litra. The process of folding roof is fully automatic thanks to the help of a special electro-hydraulic mechanism.

Passengers can enjoy their trip to open the roof whenever you want after it opens in just 21 seconds. The French have the foresight and have put a window between the rear headrests that prevents air entering into the cabin at speeds up to 90 km / hour. For higher speeds can be placed an extra piece manually. Of course, even when closed provides a pleasant lighting inside the Megane CC, giving the feeling of greater comfort, while at night fills the interior with a romantic mood, ending an extremely elegant image.

Beyond the romance and comfort the glass ceiling offers greater security than a fabric roof The front of the open Megane does not differ from other versions of the popular compact. At the rear, but we definitely something different from the French manufacturers, the dark red color on light fixtures and the use of technology in lights Led Stop, be the most obvious differences. Inside, the dashboard and instrument panel is reminiscent of other versions the French model, while the seats offer significantly improved lateral support. Also, between the rear headrests for a small glass that reduces the turbulence in the cabin, where the "open" rides ... The car is equipped with active lights Bi-Xenon, while the rear lights are dark red and have LED lights to STOP.

Inside stands the navigation system in the center of the dashboard that has a USB port and offers 3D sound. The French cabriolet has taken 160 pounds compared to the hatchback version of the Megane, and this shows that both the mechanism and the glass ceiling, and because of significantly enhancing the rigidity of the body. In practice, when the car is behaving like a neat closed coupe, and along with firmer suspension tuning characteristics of the road leaves you with very good impression.

Ally course this is the turbocharged 1.4 Tce to yield 130 horsepower, which drives with ease the body of open Megane and will not say no to a more svelte path (0-100 km / h in 10.7''and nearly 20 kg. torque). The steering wheel is a good feeling, while the shift six-speed might be more accurate to change. Nevertheless, the scaling is correct and give a helping hand in consumption to vary close to 9 l/100km All is well until this point. You tell us and what prompts the new Megane CC; the only version currently available, with engine capacity 1,400 cc 130 horsepower and performance, as our test in conjunction with a full equipment version, the French model prompts 26.390 €. MAIN SPECIFICATIONS Displacement: 1,397 cc Power: 130 hp at 5,500 rpm Torque: 19.3 kg. at 2,250 rpm Gearbox: manual 6-speed Average fuel consumption: 9 lt. per 100 km Maximum speed: 200 km / h 0-100 km / h: 10.7 sec. Emissions of CO2: 169 g / km.

Acer Liquid Mini

Smartphone Acer Liquid Mini refers to devices of the economy class, but still well-known design-line communicators Acer Liquid Metal. Yes, and the general style of the device is made exactly to slander the entire line of design to see this, it takes but one glance at the machine.


Enclosure device is made up of high-quality matte plastic, all parts are tightly fitted to each other and do not squeak and not loose. Authorities on the case submitted to the bare minimum, which is characteristic of all modern machines with touch screen. Outwardly of the device will appeal to many.



The entire front panel is a large glossy surface, part of which closes the display. The surface is susceptible to scratches, so you should buy a protective film. Sensor capacitive, sensitive enough, and the sensitivity can be set by selecting one of four values. Above the display you can find the earpiece slit, and the right of the speaker is hidden under the panel LED indicating the charging battery. The display itself to the best of a bright, and the minimum level it is very small, that can read in the dark without straining, the maximum is adequate for use in brightly lit room, the screen fades in the sun, although it is possible to work with. The display is 3.2 inches, and resolution - 480h320 points. Below the display are four touch buttons: "menu", "Back", "Search" and "Home."



Hardware volume control buttons and run the camera located on the right side. They are stylish and well-being felt, with accidental clicks helps avoid severe depression - all optimally chosen to work with the buttons comfortably.


The power button was placed on the top, which, like the bottom is made of polished silver plastic, there is located a headphone jack - 3.5 mm mini-jack.


The rear panel is a cover and closes the battery compartment. Remove it convenient for people with short nails - just hook one of the lower corners of the cover (there is a corresponding slots) and otschelknut cover. On the back panel you will find only a camera and a 5 megapixel hole dynamics, but under the hood is the battery, SIM-card slot and a compartment for memory cards MicroSDHC. The card can be replaced without removing the battery cover but still need to be removed.


In short, the appearance of the device and how it is in the palm of any size and shape, made ​​a positive impression. Perhaps, the unit will fit even an alien, but it is still impossible to verify by objective reasons. Inside the developers have placed Qualcomm MSM7227 processor clocked at 600 MHz. This processor is very popular with producers and communicators used in most vehicles in this price group. The processor has established itself as an inexpensive and effective solution for low-cost devices. The amount of RAM and a decent - 512 MB. Therefore, the system Google Android version 2.2 simply "flies" on Acer Liquid Mini, despite the presence of a single shell Acer UI. The main store, however, a large volume can not boast 512 MB ​​of system files and employs pre-installed applications, so the programs installed by the user, is not so much space, only 120 MB. True Android 2.2 is able to move some of the programs in part on the SD-card, so the problem is not urgent, but nonetheless, we can say that the memory for the programs is not enough. This is the problem of budget models communicators with Android on board. But the wireless communications are presented in full: GSM module added 3G-module, so the device can connect to the Internet protocols GPRS / EDGE / HSDPA and beyond that - through the Wi-Fi, not to mention Bluetooth 2.1. Of course, there is a GPS-receiver and FM-radio. All the functionality added to approach the sensor (turns off the display while talking on the phone), an accelerometer (sensor shake, rotate the screen when you turn the smartphone) and magnetometer (digital compass). No only the thermometer and light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness, and on the front of the camera saved - it's not. Programmatically filling requires not only easy to use interface Acer UI, which replaces the traditional menu of Android, but a series of unnecessary, in general, most customer programs. And if the shell can be turned off in the menu, then get rid of unnecessary programs can only be modified firmware. By the way, Acer UI much like it, because it is more optimized to control than the standard menu, Android: Program grouped into pages, and the entrance to the menu by a stroke on the screen up.


Additional programs about a dozen, then you can mention convenient Nemo Player, which combines a media player and gallery, Navitel Navigator 3 (a Russian version of the device), as well as customer social networks Facebook and Twitter, called SocialJogger. Why do other programs - Docs To Go, Road Sync, Facebook, Twitter, Spinlets - is unclear. Ease of use is composed of a smartphone operating system facilities and uninterrupted operation of the machine. In this sense, the Acer Liquid Mini no complaints - the machine is stable and clear. No Pass clicking on the screen, no "brakes" - the latter occur only in severe applications, such as some games. All work programs are set, some can move the map, complaints to the work of the Wi-Fi and other communication modules not hear when talking interlocutor well enough, although it may be noted some muffled voices. Ringing loud, but it is better not to put the unit on a soft surface, which will close the net dynamics - the call is essentially mute. The vibrating alert is weak, it can be felt only when the phone in his pocket a summer shirt, otherwise you miss a call. The functionality of the camera is not bad neavtofokusnoy: You can adjust the sensitivity, white balance, brightness, start the timer recording, select the effect, adjust the frequency filter, or to prescribe GPS-coordinates. Large selection and permits for shooting: from 2592x1944 to 320x240 and video from 720x480 to 176x144 pixels. Function approximation (digital zoom) works for all resolutions. The quality of picture as a whole turns mean, it's normal level of budget camera phones, and hope there is nothing. However, due to its high resolution and despite the lack of autofocus, the camera allows you to take some skill, and even scan documents QR-code, although stable, this method will not name. Sample images:


Video shoot is much more interesting, especially since even at the maximum as it turns out smooth. The main thing is to have enough space on the map. Music machine plays well, especially with good headphones, though the quality player he nedotyagivaet. True, this player will cost as much as this smartphone. To receive radio also have no complaints - the average typical receiver sensitivity consistently receiving strong station. By the way, it is seen that the level of acceptance depends on the headphones, a headset with a native, he is much better than with the ears Koss Plug. The battery life is low, although half or two days a smartphone as usual live, but if you use it rarely - and then four days is achievable. Maximum load squeeze all the juice from the battery for 6-7 hours. That is what is capable of battery 1300 mAh. Charging the battery for 3-3.5 hours from your computer's USB. Performance of the processor according to Smartbench 2010 is high enough for the competition, so it's safe to say that the smartphone is optimized well.
