Review Sony Vaio VPC-Y21S1E Subnotebook
Notebook Check &bull Jul 20, 2010
Core Refresh. Sony trades the Core 2 Duo SU7300 for a Pentium U5400, but keeps its successful concept. Integrated graphics, aluminum/magnesium case and a keyboard with a strong feedback. Will summer really be fun with the 13.3 incher? Sony divided the old SR range into an S and Y series in the beginning of 2010. The Y devices address mobility-eager consumers, whereas the S range is conceived for trend-conscious business clients. Our first Y model, the Vaio VPC-Y11S1ES, is based on an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 (1.3 GHz). The manufacturer has changed the platform, but kept the successful concept.… Full Story »

Review Intel Core i7-Quad "Clarksfield" CPU Refresh
Notebook Check &bull Jun 20, 2010
After the remarkable change from Core 2 Duo to Core i architecture there follows a gentle update of the quad-core processors, which are available since autumn last year. We looked at its effects in detail. First off: The current Intel CPU refresh only brings three models and does not include remarkable architecture changes. Nevertheless, Intel could increase the clock rates, probably because of improvements in the manufacturing process. So, this advancement leads to an advantage for customers. You can assume that the new models will replace the existing Core i7 quad core CPUs (720QM, 820QM, and 920XM). As hitherto, they… Full Story »

Apple MacBook Pro Spring 2010 (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 13-inch)
Laptop Reviews on CNET &bull Apr 26, 2010
The 2009 version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro was one of our favorite laptops, providing a great combination of design, performance, and battery life in a thin chassis. We tended to like it even more than the 15-inch model, since it managed to be smaller and still high powered, provided you could live without boosted dedicated graphics. We were excited about the 2010 MacBook Pro updates in part because we were hoping that Intel's new processors would find their way into this smallest of all MacBook Pros to make a killer laptop. Unfortunately, though the 15- and 17-inch 2010 MacBook… Full Story »
