Toshiba Portege R835-P56X Review (Core i5)
The Portege R835 series makes the move to Intel’s Sandy Bridge platform, which means newer processors and chipsets. As opposed to the Portege R835-P50X, which comes with a Core i3 processor, the R835-P56X ships with a Core i5, making it a better choice considering that the price difference is marginal and that the i3 version [...]
Sony VAIO YB Review (AMD Fusion)
The netbook is all but dead, but that doesn’t mean that small form factor laptops are out of the game. The difference is that today they are slightly more expensive but considerably more powerful. A good example is the latest 11.6-inch laptop from Sony that utilizes AMD’s brand new Fusion notebook platform.
MacBook Air 11 Review
With the original Macbook Air, many opted out of it for a slightly heavier but much less expensive ultraportable. Thanks to the new 11-inch MacBook Air, the situation is the opposite–the new ultra-thin, featherweight laptop from Apple makes short work of any netbook in the performance department while also being smaller and less expensive than [...]
Dell Vostro V130 Review
Dell Vostro is a line that is marketed towards small businesses, but it is no less attractive for home users thanks to an attractive price point and quality materials. This is especially true for the Vostro V130–a very thin and light model that you would normally only find in the expensive premium segment.
Samsung Series 9 Review
The war for the best premium ultraportable is just getting started as Samsung clearly shows with their new Series 9. Its obvious competitor is Apple’s Macbook Air but Samsung has included a much more powerful processor in the mix. Samsung Series 9 13″/11″ Prices: $1149.00 $1599.00
MacBook Pro 13 Review (2011 Sandy Bridge Refresh)
My first 2 weeks with my first ever Mac, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, has simply been awesome. Now, I am a freelance tech blogger/writer who spends no less than 16 hours of every day in front of a laptop, prefers to have it running practically 24/7, and has a penchant for turning hotels, coffee shops, [...]
Asus 1015PED Review (Eee PC)
The ASUS Eee PC 1015PED is the latest generation of Eee netbooks and combine an Intel Atom N475 processor clocked at 1.83GHz with 1GB of DDR3 RAM. The size is still the same 10.1 inches with a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. This way it retains the versatility of the netbook form factor while [...]
Asus UL20A Review
What is most surprising on the Asus UL20A is the price tag, which is way below other small laptops with similar features. It is also an elegant machine with a twelve inch screen and a brushed aluminum lid.
Acer TimelineX Series Review/Overview
The slim and nice-looking Timeline series from Acer has now been given an X at the end. This means a re-design and some pretty significant hardware updates. Instead of the familiar gray appearance, it is now a brushed black aluminum, and this sits well with the rest of the design.
Ferrari One 200 Review
Acer is again deviating from the Intel Atom norm with its 11.6-inch Ferrari One netbook – it’s more capable than the average netbook, with an AMD dual core processor and integrated graphics capable of some light gaming (like, say, World of Warcraft). The processor is an Athlon X2 L310, to be more precise. accompanied by [...]
