    Translation from poltran(copy-pasted the paragraphs...its a bit better i guess.)

    Hit flies. Notebooks let's say from program on our market hit (success) VBI wdarły, where these parameters reckon from external appearance more, that inside, with price harmonious advantageously possible. Suggested is glad by biggest success model Compala FL90. And they let's say truly, in order to hold reader in (to) uncertainty any longer. Maybe he (it) is not elegant so if (or) obtained (polished up) as brand-name laptops, but it has at disposal card for it 8600 -m GF GT.

    Casing

    As rzekło, intel is notebook offered in this moment within the confines of program most popular ( ) Compal FL90 VBI Verified. Briefly saying, it walks about challenging through suggesting original model of unbrand-name producer brand-name laptops ( still not all knowledge, that majority laptop is produced which (who) lend in chinese factories of taiwanese several producers under auspices of intel on guarantee all of ) united ( ).

    Say ordinarily, that difference between it ( " foldboat (clasp-knife) " ) kadłubkami but such is brand-name computers, it comes down for lack of stamp properly (suitable). This excessive simplification is, though seed of (grain of; kernel of) truth sticks (lie) in this mental summary. However, it scants Kadłubkom VBI even if finesse, known foremost marek (mark; marks). If compare with it less famous. It can turn out, that they are presented advantageously kadłubki.

    There is in case (accidentally) so exactly Compala FL90. So, this laptop looks not bad completely. Certainly < obvious > there is not equipment, eye would be hinged (would be suspended) on which (who) with like, and also there is not as very ugly. Surely critics will be placed , they will ascertain which (who), that he (it) is nondescript, some (certain) such indefinite. However, it has seemed concrete laptop , serious and about strip (get rid) useless ( udziwnień though not up to the end ) decor. Compare him (it) with labor ant most appropriately, which (who) is not characterized beauty, but it is tireless and it is able to lift (to carry) great weights. Anyway, laptop is not presented as some other so spartańsko kadłubki on the left however, additional clicks season not be for great - appearance ( it two white ), but circuit breaker owns decoration in the form of blue completely diodki.

    There is in (to) prevailing measure FL90 ciemnosiny, though this tint in (to) run almost blacken (show black). Description complicates fact, that plastic is dull on console, on smooth screen pokrywie, metal varnish covered < cover >. Color by the reason of contrast only properly (suitable) ciemnosiny wychwycimy, they build (create) that with (from) before black ( but, more or less ) frame screen, keyboard and bottom of working platform.

    Center of (means of) flap is decorated by ( ) kółeczko wgłębienie, name has clung for which (who) pępek. It is as (serve) for possible placing stamp of mark, it will be sold under that kadłubek. Assign make on on t-shirt for these users too pokrywie wgłębienie, decor will seem which (who) tame far too < market > Compala.

    Rough material is not nice on console in touch and it does not distinguish high class. Satisfied will be silver varnish from it (him) users laptop not can cover it part < frequent > ścierpieć it has -, they wanted that

    However, reliability of whole casing is topping, but rigidity absolute - almost. Somewhat flap is soft only, which (who) insignificantly is bent under push.

    However, fact is put on by each user shadow cherish a dream image (offense) it, that working platform reasons (resound) loudly enough, when console is tapped finger. However, phenomenon presents it in psychological dimension (measurements) at usage certain inconvenience ( ) only touchpada and click .

    Wide hinges act satisfactory, but it is minimal after change of corner of inclination screen dygotanie or it does not take a stand in whole. Lack is biggest design fault blocking flap Compala FL90 zatrzasku. Does not have tongue (speech) too, in order to magnet attracted her (it) for working platform hinges decide about all -. When we will catch laptop for working platform and we will turn him (it) upside down, flap will be deflected on result of operation of gravitation about from console one and a half centimeter. However, hinges are constructed so, that it is not possible to shake pokrywy and open one hand. Word of accolade is belonged for it project engineers FL90, that harbors and they are located mouth of (exit of) air to advantageous manner for user.

    Keyboard (?)

    It is written on keyboard very conveniently Compala. When so, she (it) is installed well < goods (right) >, has to be bent in no place right < law (as of right) >. Match is with certain reservations advantageous it substitutes in left bottom corner Fn Ctrl, but besides, they are laid to regular rectangle shallow < plate > ( lack line distribution ). Darts expensive (dear) < way >, though other digitals among drive in, there is extensive zaskakująco and convenient. Anyway, it is not possible to have reservations for largeness of digital generally. Sole pain it ground-floor (one-storied) enter.

    Jump is rather average soft digitals enough, without special alloy, answer - more or less delicate. Writing is very quiet on this equipment; loudest digitals it only Caps Lock, left < lev > Shift, enter, and space can.

    So, table gauges not be in vertical 6,8 extensive 3,6 .cm far too < market > ( particularly ) touchpada x and unusual format has enough. Besides, it is possible to be satisfied with (from) gładzika, because good slide has, it is fond (sensitive) and precise. Reasoning of (resounding of) table is fault at double tapping only.

    Clicks are at external fringes touchpada oporniejsze. Loud have issued enough ; in addition click resonance fellow < accompany > podźwięk. However, jump is short , then they are fast and forceful. It can be certain inconvenience, that they lie in shallow valley, frame from table wall off ( ) wyniosłością.

    Two has -shortened except silver clicks above keyboard for on left from she (it) multimedia else Compal zaoferowania. They are white, none too shapely and not easy it (them) < eat > wdusić. Allocation (destination) presented them riddle for long time. Now we know already, that one of they is as (serve) for booting accumulator for full ( ) Q-Charging, if we use with he (it) option of boating of (loading of) for 50/75%; second (other) allows to get in postage (harbors) ( ) tense < tension > Power USB USB, even when laptop is excluded (switched off).

    Image

    Mirror matrix was installed in received by we models 15,4 1280 " ( 800 ) Compala FL90 WXGA x. For example, we will find same in some models producer impressive firm display ( ) LG.Philips HP Pavilion. It has totaled (has taken away; has amounted to) by we brightness of images maximum measure 217,2 cd /m & # 178; that is result good very, particularly as group on work said < allude >. Brightening of screen is rather weak, because it totals (take away; amount to) 74,3%. However, maximum contrast falls out (should) nothing , as that it is formed at the level of 241:1. It is possible to be satisfied from quality of image in amount.

    Image is presented worst, when we will deflect screen or head, so that exist between them stopping ideal corner. Say that a lot here, corners of visions are narrow. In vertical equal as well as fast becoming grey in (to) horizontal < level (horizon) > observe blacken (show black). This typical phenomenon is for matrices LG.Philips.

    Performance

    Processor was installed in our 2,0 2 ( ) Compalu FL90 Core Duo T7300 GHz. This choice (election) is in this moment optimal ( jesnostki if it depends on maximum performance ), if we will take production capacity under its (her) note of relatively to price. Graphic card (kart) it model 8600 -m GF GT. She (it) is test which (who) soundest than 8600 from competitive -m hope definitely < determination > ( mum < have > soon ) GS kadłubka ASmobile S96S. And so it does not be glad this last success. Truly however,? Him (it) can not become with (from) 256 in (to) with (from) MB OF memory 400 7900 8600 -m ( ) GF GT DDR2 MHz szranki GF GS. It is possible to compare production capacity with (from) MR. which (who) rather ( X1900, expensive (dear) < way >, it was recognized (regard) sound card completely until quite lately too ). In our opinion 8600 -m become standard for a long time GF GT and appearance will not change it soundest cards (karts) NVIDII, which (who) will hit for expensive (dear) and greatest laptops.

    Decible rating of fans (?)

    Noise
    When computer acts, but it is not exploited, that is included (is switched on) minute semi < tail > wentylator. However, it will suffice (will enough) moving of cursor, in order to it has started in over normative dimension (measurements). It winds at load of processor continuously rather wentylator, impulses happen at that for superior (upper; highest) turns that some (certain) time (sometimes). When we will cause crucifying of sub-assembly skrajności, we will introduce ventilation for (after) some (certain) five on highest turns about intensifying minutes 41,2 ( issued sound ) dB. So, it is not loud from < self-service store > Compal FL90. Dynamic behavior can be certain problem enough only wentylatora. However, accustom to it simply (easy). However, optical drive is definitely < determination > loud toshiba samsung ( ) TSSTcorp Storage Technology. He (it) makes it such grinding mill 46 ( noise concomitant restoring (recuperation) shallow < plate > ) dB, that comfortable viewing of movie makes impossible on properly (suitable) DVD.

    Tempratures
    Heating is enough significant subjected computer stressful < stress >. However, be surprised hard, when card (kart) sticks (lie) in (to) its (his) entrails about force in laptops with screen rare 15,4 until quite lately ". Therefore, on the left mountain of (top of) working platform is been able to warm up for 42 ° C, mouth of (exit of) warmed up air is placed under screen behind which (who) ( ). Other warmest places on console this foothold of left wrist ( 37 ° ) C and table 38 ( ° ) touchpada C. Somewhat bottom is warmed up more, because there maximum temperature of casing can achieve value 43 ° C.

    Loudspeakers
    It is not possible to have greatest reservations for quality of sound. We will admit , that in this respect anyway, it has surprised us nicely Compal and resolute has turned out completely, in maximum sphere of power of voice particularly.

    Work on accumulator (Battery Life i think)
    We had opportunity of testing two (two) accumulator due to kindness of firm BlueMobility, model can be furnished to which (who) FL90. First of they, 6-komorowy, about capacity 4800 mAh, it is offered in standard. At least he (it) allows on hour, but three hours of work maximum. So, we can accept, that at average setups and it will act use of over two hours computer a few WiFi. Optional accumulator ( 9-komorowy, it about capacity 7200 it ) mAh, which (who) after installing 2 cm affectation laptop wystaje obrys. It are tied it with no squeezes rather, but it can mismatch some users. Course, we have achieved that on it, hours are contained in range from for four one and a half and a half. So, it is possible to think of comfortable work due to it (him) over three hours quietly lasting thickly. Shows so,, that somehow or other, do not charm independently on capacity of accumulator on personal supplying ( ) active time. In this respect it is competitive a lot better Acer Aspire 5920G. Results for standard accumulator 4800 mAh


    Recapitulation
    Modest appearance, impressive capabilities. It is possible to characterize in summary so Compala FL90. Basic advantage of this laptop, he (it) finds so many (so much) amateurs due to which (who), there is assuring (provide) unnarrow performance card (kart) graphic 8600 -m GF GT. However, it's known < known > there was from reading of specification so many (so much) < rear > and benchmarków. When we have observed from blood Compalowi and bones, as it happens, that he (it) is presented on addition in other aspects absolutely not bad. First of all, so, that has fear quality of execution. Reliability of equipment in better half of (hunt of) rate him (it) sytuuje, as that he (it) leaves many products recognized (regard) in (to) far marek (mark) so many (so much) < rear >. At least several domains are else, he (it) differs in (to) which (who) from bunch rather plus in średniaków. Therefore, we will return note, that he (it) owns good keyboard completely. Matrix, though it dates from LG.Philips and narrow corners of visions feature her (it) enough, bright (plain) image (offense) gives, so that it will satisfy ordinary eater of bread completely. They deserve accolades topping too kamerka, completely, loudspeakers completely and small hałaśliwość. If lack of mechanism not bolting flap, there would be excellent notebook Compal FL90. In rate for price - sensational.

    God, this was a boring day at work...

    So boring that in fact I decided to translate the whole thing to english :)

    Here you go:
    (this is the bulk o the text :)

    Topdog of the summer. The VBI program notebooks are storming our market, on which performance and parts are more important than the outside looks. That has to be paired with reasonable pricing of course. The FL90 - a produce of Compal seems to be the most popular among those... and for good reason it seems. It may not be as elegant as "brand notebooks", but it features, among others, the GF 8600 GT graphics card.

    Casing

    As we mentioned before, the Compal FL90 is the most popular notebook currently offered as part of VBI program. Long story short, the reson for launching this program was to challange "brand" laptops by offering on the market models produced by original manufacturers (the fact that most of the laptops are manufactured in chinese factories of few producers from Taiwan is still not a common knowledge). Those products are offered as part of this program, have to follow a set of guidelines set by Intel who also gives warranty for all of them.

    It is often said, that the difference between barebones and brand laptops boils down to lack of a brand logo. It's a exaggeration of course, but there seems to be some truth to that. The barebones lack finesee of the top brands, but when compared to those "not-so-top", barebones may acctualy look better.

    This seems to be the case with Compal FL90 as it looks quite nice. It's obviously not a piece of hardware that you would like to gaze upon for hours, but it's not ugly by any means either. There will be some people claiming that it's nothing special, averange. We however, see it as a solid looking notebook without (almost) any funky, unnecessary features. It can be easly compared to a busy ant - it ain't beautiful but it gets the job done. Besides - this notebook isn't as rugged looking as some other barebones - it's visuals are enchanced by additional buttons (those two buttons on the left side aren't the best looking ones though), and the power button is even equiped with blue LED.

    FL90 is mostly dark purple - almous black. The color description is difficult due to a fact that the keyboard side is made of matte plastic and the screen casing top is covered by metalic paint. In fact, this dark purple color can be seen only when compared to black (more or less) screen lining, keyboard and the underside of notebook.

    The middle of the casing top has a round shaped dent in it that is called "belly button". It's purpose is to fit logo of a brand under which it will be sold. The casing also has dent for putting lapsticker on - for all of those who consider the Compal to be dull looking.

    The rough surface of the keyboard side is not nice to touch as is not a sign of upper shelve product. It can be satisfactory to those who can't stand this side usual silver covering though.

    The case is very solid and sound, and it's practically totaly robust. Only the screen casing can be little deformed under pressure. This perfect image is clouded by the fact that the casing vibrates quite loudly when you
    tap it. This can be a little disturbing only when you use the touchpad though.

    The broad hinges are working well and the screen doesn't shake afer you change it's position.The biggest downside of the Compal FL90 design is the lack of latch to keep the screen casing locked. There is no magnets keeping the notebook closed - it is all in the hands of hinges. When notebook is held upside down by the lower part, the screen casing will open for about 1,5 cm due to the gravity. The hinges are constructed in a way that prevents opening the screen casing with one hand.

    The FL90 constructors should be praised for very user friendly placement of all ports and heat exhaust.

    INPUT DEVICES:
    The Compal's keyboard is very comfortable to write on. If it's properly installed it cannot deform in any place. It's set quite nice with few exceptions: Fn and Ctrl keys are mixed in the lower left corner. The cursor keys - although squeezed between other keys - are suprisingly large and easy to use. The keys sizes are generally very good except for the small enter.

    Writting on this keyboard is very quiet - the only "loud" keys are Caps Lock, left Shift, Enter and Space.

    The touchpad dimensions are 6,8 x 3,6 cm. This means that it isn't big (especially vertical wise) and has quite unusal shape. It is very good touchpad non the less - it's precise, sensitive and with nice slide. The only con of it is vibration when double tapped.

    Touchpad buttons are hard to press on the edges. We consider them quite loud - especialy with vibrating sound that is created when pressing them. They are quick and precise though.

    In addition to silver multimedia-shortcut buttons at the top of the keyboard, the Compal also has two more situated on it's left side. They are white, not too appealing and hard to press. Their purpose has been a mistery for a while. Now we know that one of them (Q-Charging) serves to charge the battery to full, if an option to charge it to 50/75% has been chosen. The other (Power USB) allows the usb ports to be providing electricity even with the notebook off.

    Display

    The Compal that we recieved came with glass 15,4" wxga screen (1280 x 800). It has been manufactured by LP.Philips (the same screen is fitted in some HP Pavilions for example). The maximum screen brightness that we noted was 217,2 cd/m², which appears to be very good result, especially considering other produces of this company. The screen lightning is rather poor with a score of 74,3%. The maximum contrast seems quite ok though with a score of 241:1. The image quality is satisfying overall.

    The picture quality is worse if we tilt the screen or head, disturbing the perfect angle between those. To sum things up: viewing angles are narrow. The black becomes gray quite quicly both vertically and horizontally. This is typical with LG.Philips screens.

    Performance

    Our Compal FL90 has been fitted with Core 2 Duo T7300 (2,0 GHz) processor. This seems to be optimal choice at the moment (performance wise) especially when considering performance / price ratio.

    The graphics card is the GF 8600M GT. It is considerably more powerful than the 8600M GS that is fitted in the competitor - ASmobile S96S barebone. This seems to be the reason for the low popularity of the latter. Is it justified? The GF 8600M GT with 256 MB DDR2 memory on board (400 Mhz) cannot compete with the GF Go 7900 GS. It's performance can be compared
    rather to MR X1900 (which, by the way, has been considered a quite powerful card until recently). In our opinion the GF 8600M GT will be a mainstream standard for long period of time and the appearance of more powerful NVIDIA cards will not change it as they will be fitted in bigger and more expensive notebooks.

    Emissions

    Loudness
    When turned on, but left idling the fan turns on every half a minute. It takes a movement of cursor to launch more frequent cooling.
    Under load the fan operates continually with occasionaly going into higher speeds. If we torture test the notebook it's cooling will start to operate at highest speed in about five minutes (emitting a noise at 41,2 dB)

    As you can see Compal FL90 isn't a loud piece of hardware. The only problem might be dynamic changes of fan speed operation. This is easy to get by though.

    The part that is really loud though is the TSSTcorp (Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology) optical drive. It produces so much noise (up to 46 dB during disc playback), that it practically unables one to watch a DVD movie comfortably.

    Temperature
    The heat emmited by the notebook under load is quite high. This is no wonder though, considering that it contains a GPU with performance that was impossible to achieve up till recently in a 15,4" notebook. The top layer of the keyboard side can sometimes reach a temperature of 42°C - at the left side directly under the screen (behind which you can find heat exhaust). The other warm points of the keyboard side are the left wrist support (37°C) and the touchpad (38°C). The bottom of the notebook heats up a little bit more as the maximum temperature of casing can reach 43°C there

    Speakers

    The sound quality is very good. We have to admit, that we were pleasantly surpirised with this aspect as it performed very good, especially in the highest volume setting.

    Battery Life

    We had an opportunity to test two batteries supported by FL90

    The first one was a six-cell, 4800 mAh battery that comes as standard equipment. It allows for at least and hour, and 3 hours tops of battery life. It can be assumed that with averange settings and WiFi enabled the notebook will operate for around two hours.

    The optional battery (nine-cell, 7200 mAh) is the one that, when fitted, sticks out of the casing (around 2 cm). This shouldn't cause any problems, but can be a bother to some people. The "mileage" achieved with this battery were between 1,5 and 4 hours. This means that this battery should allow for more than 3 hours of work.

    As you can see, no matter which battery installed, the battery life isn't great. FL90's competitor - Acer Aspire 5920G is way better in this aspect.

    Verdict:
    Modest look, great performance. That few words accurately summarize Compal FL90. The main advantage of this notebook, which caused it's great popularity, is it's powerful GF 8600M GT graphics card. This has been obvious from the start - benchmarks and system specifications are clear. When we took a closer look at Compal, it became clear that it performs well in other aspects as well.

    The most important thing is not to be afraid of it's poor workmanship. FL90 quality places it amongst the leaders of the market, leaving many recognized brands behind. There is a bunch of aspects which make him stand out from the crowd of averange notebooks. It has pretty decent keyboard. Display, although produced by LG.Philips and with narrow viewing angles produces bright picture, which should satisfy all but the most demanding of customers. FL90 should also be praised for it's excellent webcam, good speakers and low
    noise emitted.

    If not for the lack of latch Compal FL90 would be a superb notebook. And, when compared to price - probably an ideal notebook.

    And here is the translation of notes under screens on the right side:


    "choć wydaje się czarny, Compal FL90 jest właściwie ciemnoatramentowy"
    although it may appear to be black, Compal FL90 has actually a color of dark ink

    "platforma robocza jest bardzo sztywna..."
    the keyboard side is very solid

    "...natomiast matowe tworzywo z pulpitu nie jest najprzyjemniejsze w dotyku"
    it isn't that nice when touched though

    "surowy wystrój złagodzony został kilkoma ozdobnikami"
    the rough look has been enchanced by few highlights

    "niektóre z nich nie prezentują się jednak elegancko"
    some of them aren't that nice looking though

    "pokrywa ekranu nie posiada mechanizmu ryglującego, tak że trzeba polegać tylko na zawiasach"
    the screen casing doesn't have any latch, so you will have to count on hinges

    "dokładnie zamontowana klawiatura jest bardzo stabilna"
    good mounting of keyboard ensures that it has a very solid feel to it

    "głośniki grają zaskakująco głośno i ładnie"
    the speakers are suprisingly loug and clear

    "napęd optyczny strasznie hałasuje"
    the optical drive is making a lot of noise

    "choć kamerka wygląda na pierdółkę, obraz, jaki daje, jest tip top"
    altough it may not look like much this webcam is of exceptional quality

    "przebiegi uzyskiwane nawet na większym akumulatorze nie zachwycają"
    the battery life of even the bigger one are not that satisfying


    Za (Pros)
    + niespotykana w tej cenie wydajność (exceptional performance/price ratio)

    + solidna obudowa (solid casing)

    + dobra klawiatura (good keyboard)

    + jasny obraz (bright picture)

    + niezły dźwięk (nice sound)

    + niewielka hałaśliwość (low noise)

    + wysoka jakość obrazu z kamerki (very good webcam)

    Przeciw (cons)
    - brak mechanizmu ryglującego (no latch)

    - słabe kąty widzenia (poor viewing angles)

    - rezonowanie touchpada i pulpitu (touchpad vibration)

    - brak DVI (no DVI)

    - głośny napęd DVD (loud DVD drive)





    BTW - this review is for Compal FL90 - as far as I know the only differences between it and IFL90 are:

    IFL90 has WSXGA+ (apparently much better, higher resolution display)
    IFL90 has GF 8600M GT with 512 MB RAM (as opposed to 256 RAM in FL90)
    IFL90 has a fingerprint reader


    Cheers :)

    Thank's so much for translating that into English. This translation was much easier to read as opposed to Google Translations, etc. + Rep.

    Praise the lord (and sir doomsday offcourse)for the translation!

    Btw, one model of the IFL-90 (in the netherlands, anyway) features a WXGA (1280-800) resolution and a 8600M 256mb. while our WSXGA (1440-900) features a 512 edition.

    Uhh, I can already see the amount of typos and phrases that can be considered "engrish" :). I guess that work can do that to a man.

    BTW - FL90 is REALLY popular in Poland. Few weeks after it's introduction it's price went a little bit lower and then people literally bought every single one.

    Now FL90 price has gone up by almost 100$ and you have to wait for more than a week for it (it used to be only one day wait). There are even some rumors about polish retailers shipping them directly from other retailers from neighbouring countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia) as our wholesale distributors are already out of stock and awaiting new shipments.

    On polish forum about notebooks - notebookcheck.pl the thread concerning FL90 is the most popular of all with more than 50 pages of (mostly) meaningful opinions given by it's users. It has, among others, results of FL90 overclocking. I must say that they're pretty impressive - some users managed to overclock it very high: core 475@702; mem 400@525 - that yields 3d Mark 2003 score of 12500 points and 3d Mark 2005 score of 7500 points !!

    All in all - a great piece of hardware. I'm only waiting for the pricing of IFL90 (due out at the end of july) or for stabilization of situation with FL90.

    Cheers!

    That's interesting to know that Poland has quite the market for the IFL-90 design and its derivatives. :)

    Sir Doomsday, you beat me to it! hahaha I just read the review and I was amazed that it was in polish and it was a great sight for my eyes. Glad to hear it's popular over there, I'll have to check with my cousins to see if either of them got one. Szkoda ze niemoge tam pojecacz i sobie kupic. (long time since I've written in polish, taught myself from my parents old elementaz).

    EDIT: Of course I have to give you +1

    yes, damnit, same here ;] was just about to waste a few hours of my to-be sleep for this and then bam it's done. oh well ;)

    great work nonetheless.

    oh and yeah, also, I think I'll be dropping the EL80 sometime soon once I'm back home and getting a FL90. Dunno what specs tho. But the HD-readiness of GF8600 vs 7600 is quite interesting :)

    I'd just like to see the FL90 v2 coming with the fingerprint reader. It's not like I use it on my EL80 but hey, if it came with robson ? (and the eventual tvtuner possibility therefore?) Something to investigate ;)

    regards,
