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.

Dell Inspiron M301z 13.3 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:30:20 +0000

Dell launched the AMD powered 13.3 inch Dell Inspiron M301z back in May and now guys over at NotebookCheck posted a review. Their verdict was that the Dell Insprion M301z is a capable 13.3 inch notebook with fast performance thanks to the fast 7200 rpm hard drive and the 1.5 GHz dual core AMD Turion II Neo K625. But bare in mind that this is a CULV processor so if you need a true performer you will need to look elsewhere and the same goes for the battery life as it packs a relatively small capacity battery (44 Wh) that is enough for up to 4.5 hours that is decent but is not exactly a marathon runner.

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.

Acer Aspire 5625G-P924G50Mn 15.6 inch Notebook Review

Vito — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:57:45 +0000

It’s good to finally see more and more manufacturers embracing AMD processors as they are marginally cheaper then Intel processors. They are slower and more power hungry but not everyone need top-notch performance in their notebook. Acer Aspire 5625G-P924G50M features a 1.6 GHz quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 P920 processor and switchable graphices between a dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 and integrated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250.

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.

Vito — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 19:09:18 +0000

Quad-core processor packing notebooks and the term ‘cheap’ are usually not mentioned in one sentence. With launch of Acer Aspire 5553G that might change as unlike the Acer Aspire 5551 notebook that features a triple-core AMD Phenom the Aspire 5553G features a quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 N930 clocked at 2.0GHz all for under £700 and that’s not all as it also features ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 switchable graphics. It all looks good on the paper so read on the full review at TrustedReviews to find out how it performs in real life tests.
