MacBook Air

Ever since Apple release it’s best selling Ipod, Apple has consistently voted as the number one manufacturer of laptop models. It’s latest addition to it’s family is the Apple’s MacBook Air which sports one of the most ground-breaking designs we’ve ever seen. But it’s not alone in the department of sleek and shinny. Even though it shares a desktop trail with the typical black and white MacBooks, the first thing you see about the Air is its aluminum framework which is analogous to the one found on the MacBook Pro. Picking it up, the MacBook Air feels a slightly heavier than you’d be expecting from looking at it, even supposing it’s only 1.4kg.

Sony Vaio AR

The Vaio AR series employs a 17.8-inch monitor with a towering native resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, which is skilled of mixing out high-definition content at 1080 pixels. You obtain an HDMI video output, a TV tuner, and it all operates off a 2GHz Core Duo CPU and a plucky GeForce Go 7600 GT graphics card. Sony seems to be departing all-out with the AR series, as it seems that some models will feature dual 200GB hard drives. Also, if you are thinking of taking it out in the road, think again -they’ll weigh up in the region of 3.8Kg, and make you £2,000 not as good as when someone attacks you of them.  

HP HDX X16

HP ExtremeAnother of HP’s winners, it is a full HD laptop, capable of attaining the full 1,920×1,080 resolution. Deemed as an ideal replacement for an ailing desktop, it has a crisp and bright display screen at 16 inches is truly a sight to see and coupled with the BluRay optical drive, it makes movie viewing a breeze. Loaded with a 2.26 Gz processor with Intel’s Core 2 Duo P800 processor and 4GB’s of ram it it fast, though not as fast as people would expect it to be with that processing power contained within. External devices can be easily connected with a FireWire, HDMI, and d-Sub connector for those cameras and external display devices. It does sport quite a slick finish that is quite childish to some and the ultra-glossy finish tends to be prone to finger smudges and other greasy stuff as you much away and continue to blog or finish your report that was due a few hours ago.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook T5010

LifebookConsidered as a convertible with the swivel display and heavy case, you might have to shore up those arms to lug this beast around. It has a 13.3 inch large screen and is loaded with BlueTooth 2.1 mobile broadband from a Sierra Wireless MC8790 module, Intel’s WiFi Link 5300 (802.11 a/b/g plus draft n) and an optional GigaBit Ethernet option for wired network connection. Hard drives can be from the standard 160GB or optional 320/120 drives or for a lighter unit a 64GB solid-state drive fro mobile use (drives are protected with their patented shock-protection system through a g-sensor that parks the hard drives in case of a drop).

Samsung R510

Samsung R510As with the many brands, this laptop comes in many models so we’ll be doing a general review of the overall feature. For one, it has a very hygienic keypad coating that uses silver ions to kill bacteria (considering the crazy things we do with our laptops, that’s a very good idea). Samsung hasn’t skimped on styling with a shiny gloss finish on the display cover that shifts to deep red making it a thing of beauty. Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2GHz with 4 GB of ram with a video card from the same manufacturer, an Intel GMA X4500HD combined in the GM45 Express Chipset. The optical drive is LightScribe capable and a hard drive that can range from 120 to 320 GBytes. [Read more →]

Ultra-Portables Worth It?

ultraDepending on what you’ll be using it for, may be the best question to ask. For browsing and access to the social net on the go, they may have enough juice to get you through. But if you expect usability comparable with their more traditional counterparts, you’re out of luck for they still suffer from limited battery power which powers them to around four hours (or five for some). Some of the lightest ones also do away with the hard drive, one of the biggest power users in traditional laptops, opting to use solid state memory of up to 60 or 100 gigabytes. They have access through the USB port for external drives but they better come with their own power source or battery or you subtract more form the dismal power situation.

Students who are on a stretched finances should look for a laptop that delivers the majority bang for the buck.
