Alienware M11x R2 Review

Dell enjoyed overnight success with the Alienware M11x earlier this year. This 11-inch notebook outperforms many larger laptops and is priced below $1000. Unfortunately for Dell, consumers quickly started asking for an Alienware M11x with Intel Core i7 processors. Now, less than 6 months after the release of the M11x comes the M11x R2 with Intel Core i7 and Nvidia Optimus technology for automatic graphics switching. Is this the perfect M11x? The answer might surprise you. Our review unit of the Alienware M11x R2 features the following specifications: 1.20GHz Intel Core i7 640UM (4MB Cache, max turbo frequency 2.266GHz) 4GB PC3-8500 DDR3 (2 x 2GB) Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit 11.6" WXGA WideHD LED Backlit display (1366x768) 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Nvidia GeForce GT 335M Discrete Graphics (1GB GDDR3) with switchable Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics 802.11b/g/n, 10/100 LAN 3-in-1 card reader 8-Cell Li-ion 64WH battery, 90W Power Supply Dimensions:

HP Envy 14 Review

About a year has passed since HP released its Envy 13 and 15, high-style notebooks aimed directly at Apple's MacBook Pros. We generally liked the designs of these metal-bodied machines, but their high prices and mediocre ergonomics dampened our enthusiasm. Now here comes the Envy 14, which starts at $999 ($1,289 as configured). HP has tweaked the design by adding an optical drive and a backlit keyboard, but the most intriguing change is the new display size of 14.5 inches. This screen puts the Envy 14 smack dab in between the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook, and its Core i5 processor and ATI switchable graphics offer comparable performance to Apple's premium portables. More imporantly, HP has updated its touchpad so that it's much easier to use. The brilliant Radiance display is ideal for movies and games, and the notebook's Beats Audio is a pleasure for the ears. So is the Envy 14 the complete package we want it to be? Specifications : CPU: 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5-450M

Dell Inspiron 17R Review

The newly designed Inspiron 17R is the latest 17.3-inch desktop-replacement notebook from Dell. Equipped with the Intel Core i3 and i5 processors with Intel GMA HD graphics, this budget-friendly system is aimed at the masses. In this review we take an in-depth look at this new system and see how it performs. Intel Core i3 370M processor (2.4GHz, 3MB cache) 17.3-inch 1600x900 display with LED backlighting Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) 4GB DDR3 memory 500GB 5400rpm HDD Intel HD integrated graphics 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11n wireless, and Bluetooth 6-cell Li-ion 48Wh battery Dimensions: 16.54 x 10.87 x 1.24-1.38-inches Weight: 6.67lbs starting MSRP: $679 Build and Design The newly redesigned Inspiron 17R offers a much cleaner and sleeker look and feel compared to past models. Similar to the Adamo-series, the layout has a hinge-forward design with the screen positioned just slightly in front of the back edge of the chassis. This has the added benefit of moving the screen clo

Dell XPS 15 Review

The new XPS 15 (also called the XPS L501X) is a completely redesigned multimedia notebook from Dell. Sporting a JBL sound-system with subwoofer, NVIDIA GT420M dedicated graphics, and an Intel Core i5 processor, this system is designed with performance and entertainment in mind. In this review, we take an in-depth look at the new XPS and see how it stacks up against the competition. Intel Core i5 460M Processor (3MB cache, 2.53GHz) 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 glossy display with LED backlighting NVIDIA GeForce GT420M with 1GB DDR3 Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) 6GB DDR3 memory 500GB 7200rpm HDD (Seagate Momentus 7200.4) Realtek gigabit ethernet and Intel 1000 802.11b/g/n wireless Bluetooth 3.0 6-cell Li-ion battery (56Wh) Dimensions: 15 x 10.4 x 1.3-1.5-inches Weight: 6.21lbs MSRP: $899.99 (Closest configuration) Build and Design The new Dell XPS 15 has a silver on grey color scheme, using metal panels and plastic for the body. Compared to past XPS designs that were trend s

ASUS U45JC-A1 Review

The U45JC has an understated yet classy look; the combination of bright silver and glossy black is aesthetically pleasing. I like how the black keyboard keys stand out against their silver surround. The U45JC is quite thin for a 14-inch laptop with such impressive specs at just 1.1" tall. The chassis has an angular shape; the very edges of the notebook are angled downward and make the notebook look slimmer than it actually is. With the exception of the aluminum lid backing, the U45JC is made of plastic. The top of the chassis is covered in an anti-scratch skin, which feels nice and does not show fingerprints or dust. Unfortunately the glossy plastic screen surround does; it is tough to keep clean, as is the display surface since that is also glossy. Our ASUS U45JC-A1 review unit has the following specifications: 14-inch 720p (1366x768) glossy panel with LED backlighting Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel Core i3-370M dual-core processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3, 4.8G

Sony VAIO EA Review

The Sony VAIO AE is the latest 14-inch general purpose laptop from Sony. The E-series notebooks are the most affordable full-featured notebooks in the VAIO product line and you can probably argue that the "E" stands for "Economy class." The laptop body is made of a combination of matte black plastics and polished plastics in your choice of Lava Black, Hibiscus Pink, Coconut White, Iridescent Blue, or Passion Purple colors. Our review sample is "Coconut White" but pearl white might be a more accurate description of the color in real life. All of the plastics feel firm with no obvious flex or creaking sounds when you apply pressure to the chassis. Despite being designed as a budget laptop, the VAIO EA feels reasonably well built. The screen hinges offer enough resistance to hold the display in place yet aren't so tensioned that opening the laptop is difficult. Our review unit of the Sony VAIO EA (VPCEA3CFX) has the following specificatio

Lenovo G460, Notebook Murah dan Mengagumkan

Lenovo G460, hadir dengan warna hitam klasik yang tidak begitu menonjolkan design yang ciamik.

Ditambah lagi, dukungan RAM sebesar 2GB, menambah daya kerja dari produk satu ini. Dan yang paling menarik, integrasi VGA NVIDIA GeForce G310M 512MB di dalamnya, membuat notebook ini layak diacungi jempol mengingat pada seri sebelumnya Lenovo tidak menghadirkan video dengan kapasitas RAM sebesar ini. Sayangnya, notebook ini dipasarkan dengan tidak menyertakan OS di dalamnya, hanya menyediakan Free Dos sebagai Sistem Operasinya. Sehingga untuk menggunakan produk
