Finally the last of the new Acer Aspire TimelineX lineup was up for review at NotebookCheck. Their conclusion was that thanks to a 1.06 GHz Intel Core i5-520UM Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830 performs surprisingly well while also maintaining decent battery life of 5 hours.

We posted then news that Alienware M11x became available with the Intel Core i7 option back in June and now thanks to the guys over at NotebookCheck we can see what kind of performance boost this new cpu option brings. According to them  the new Intel Core i7 cpu option doesn’t really make much difference in terms of performance compared to the overclocked Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 nVidia Optimus does provide another good reason to buy the only portable gaming notebook in the world.

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.

Dell today launched new Inspiron R Notebook Series featuring Intel Wireless Display. The new line-up is be powered by Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors and optional 1GB ATI Dedicated Graphics and comes in 14 inch, 15.6 inch and 17.3 inch displays. As it has come to expect from Dell these notebooks it is available in various colours including Black, Pink, Red and Blue.

HP announced refresh to its Pavilion models back in May 2010 and now Joanna Stern at Engadget got her hands on the 14 inch HP Pavilion dm4. Her conclusion was that overall it is a great notebook as it features the right balance between looks, performance and battery life but unfortunately it is let down by a very bad touchpad which in our opinion is not that big of a deal. After all most people use a mouse for extended use.

Alienware created lots of buzz when it released a small but powerful 11.6 inch notebook a few months ago the Alienware M11x. At the time it was available with either a 1.3 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100 or 1.3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300. Starting from today the Alienware is as well available with a 1.06 GHz Intel Core i5 520UM and 1.06 GHz Intel Core i7 640UM. Unfortunately the release of new CPU options didn’t cause a price drop for the older options. For a base Intel Pentium Dual Core you will still need to shell out £749 while the Intel Core 2 Duo will set you back for additional £40. The Intel Core i5 system starts at £849 and the Intel Core i7 upgrade adds £180 to the price. Alienware also added the nVidia Optimus technology for the seamless graphics switching between the power saving Intel GMA HD and the high performance nVidia Geforce GT 335M.

Jerry Jackson at NotebookReview posted a review on the Dell Inspiron 1464 14 inch Notebook. His verdict was that Dell Inspiron 14 is affordable and offers good performance with Intel Core i3 330M 2.16 GHz and decent battery but built quality is somewhat questionable.

Acer’s TimelineX series has caused a lot of interest on our website so far so we are delighted to the 14 inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG-434G64Mn to our repertoire. It was Florian Glaser at NotebookCheck that posted the review. His conclusion was that with Acer succeeded in creating a notebook with multimedia capabilities and long battery life in the same package with latest TimelineX series and the 14 inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG is no exception as the Intel Core i5-430M and the ATI Radeon HD 5650 take care of business very well while the switchable graphics take care of the batter life up to 6 hours. Now only the 11.6 inch Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830TG remains to be reviewed to complete the TimelineX series. Let’s hope it will be as good as its bigger brothers were.

Following the Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820T notebook review is its smaller 13.3 inch brother the Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG-334650MN notebook. Tobias Winkler at NotebookCheck tested it and concluded that Acer Aspire Timeline X 3820TG performs a lot faster thanks to the combination of
