Acer Travelmate 8172T-33U4G32N 11.6 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:18:45 +0000

Acer’s TimelineX notebooks were a big success for Acer as they had decent looks, great battery life, solid performance and affordable price. Let’s see if it’s Travelmate series that is geared more toward business users will enjoy the same success. Hardware wise the Acer Travelmate 8172T-33U4G32N is very similar to it’s 11.6 inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T brother as it features a 1.2 GHz Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Intel GMA HD integrated graphics and a 6-cell battery providing up to 9 hours of use. It does however add couple of features into the mix such as the anti-glare screen and Bluetooth 3.0. No wonder guys at NotebookCheck were generally impressed with it.

Asus UL20FT-A1 12.1 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:39:26 +0000

Asus UL20FT-A1 brings 1.2GHz Intel Core i3 330UM to the ultra portable Asus UL20 series. According to the guys over at NotebookReview the ASUS UL20FT offers a more powerful processor then its predecessor Asus UL20A for just a few more bucks. It also adds a better display and bigger hard drive. Unfortunately omits the USB 3.0 and eSATA ports so let’s hope Asus will add those in the next refresh. With all the nVidia Optimus packed laptops appearing lately it definitely isn’t exactly the most exciting but for under $650 is not much more expensive then your average netbook but offer a lot better performance so it is definitely great value for money.

Toshiba Portege R700 13.3 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:47:49 +0000

Guys over at TrustedReviews test the Toshiba Portege R700 13.3 inch Notebook aimed at business sector. They concluded that this 2.26 GHz Intel Core i3 350M packing notebook is a great update of the Toshiba Portege R series providing a visual refresh, good balance between price, performance and features. The battery life is great too with up to 6.5 hours of juice and also the 3 year warranty that comes as standard is worth mentioning as most manufactures offer only 1 year as standard. Although it did left them wishing the keyboard would be better.

ASUS U33Jc-A1 Bamboo 13.3 inch Notebook will for sure go well down with pandas but guys over at Engadget didn’t exactly fall in love it. It packs a 2.4GHz Intel Core i3-370M processor and nVidia GeForce 310M graphics featuring nVidia Optimus technology. Let’s hope it will appeal to humans as much to pandas as unfortunately there aren’t that many pandas left out there.

Vito — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:08:30 +0000

We were never very fond of latest glossy plastic Toshiba notebooks but when you get a Toshiba Satellite A660-14C 16 inch Notebook that features Blu-ray RE drive, 512 MB nVidia GeForce 310M, 2.13 GHz Intel Core i3 and 4GB RAM all for under £700 we can forgive the glossyness.

HP G62-130EG 15.6 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:40:21 +0000

Fancy the looks of HP Envy but it’s over your budget. Worry not HP G62-130EG 15.6 inch Notebook takes design elements of HP Envy notebook series and adapts it to the budget notebook. Now who says fashion has to be expensive. HP certainly not any more. Otherwise the HP G62-130EG packs a 2.13 GHz Intel Core i3 330M, 4GB RAM and dedicated 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 graphics.

Sebastian Jentsch at NotebookCheck posted a review on the Samsung P530 Pro 15.6 inch Notebook. His verdict was that the Samsung P530 Pro is a solid and durable 15.6 inch notebook. It features a good laid out keyboard, low heat and noise emissions and an Intel Core i3 processor which isn’t as fast as the Core i5 and i7 processors featuring TurboBoost but is completely adequate. There are some drawbacks such as low capacity battery (4,000 mAh) which produces just enough juice for about 3 hours of general use and lack of dedicated graphics.
