Review Samsung NP-R780-JS03DE Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Yesterday
Those who consider a 15.6 incher too small, turn to the obviously larger 17 inchers. The R780 faces our tests with the same configuration as its smaller sister, R580. The Core i5-520M and GeForce GT330M were already able to prove themselves as strong companions. Can the big brother redeem the weaknesses of the 15 incher and repeat its advantages? We'll show it in this comprehensive review. The sister model, Samsung R580, presented itself as a multimedia bolide with a good value for money ratio a month ago. The manufacturer combined the fast Core i5-520M (2.4 GHz) with the new mainstream… Full Story »

Review Fujitsu Lifebook A1130 Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Yesterday
No Core i5, no GT 330M, no Blu Ray and no HDMI. The A1130 is a down-to-earth, 15.6-inch office machine. Features like a dust filter on the air vent and a VGA port with screw terminals are not enough to redeem the frumpy-looking case. So one mystery remains: why is Fujitsu asking 800 for hardware that other manufacturers charge 500 for at most? It can't just be the glittery finish. We set out to get to the bottom of this. On the Fujitsu website the Lifebook A1130 is classed as an all-rounder. However, its specs (Intel Core 2 Duo T6600,… Full Story »

Review Asus K50IJ-SX Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Mar 9, 2010
At first glance, the Asus K50IJ is a stylish and inexpensive 15-inch office notebook intended for those who don't have high demands on performance. Find out in our extensive review to which degree this first impression holds good. Asus has designed their K-series for everyday home use. They're sufficient for internet surfing with WLAN and word processing, but not for more complex tasks such as 3D games or video editing. That doesn't mean that Asus has completely left out multimedia qualities: Altec-Lansing… Full Story »

Review Alienware M17x (i7/HD 4870 X2) Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Mar 9, 2010
In the meantime, Alienware offers its 17.0 inch luxury notebook, M17x, with a wickedly expensive combination of two ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870s, also called HD 4870 X2. The HD 4870 doesn't support DirectX 11, but is still one of the fastest mobile graphic cards. The HD 4870 X2 is supported by a Core i7-620M, which is clocked up to 2.66 GHz, so to prevent the performance from slowing down. Read in our review if the Alienware M17x is worth its expensive price and how the not exactly power saving components effect temperature, system noise, and battery life. One of… Full Story »

Dell Inspiron i1545-4266IBU
Laptop Reviews on CNET &bull Mar 8, 2010
Editors' note: This review is part of our spring 2010 retail laptop and desktop roundup, which covers specific fixed configurations of popular systems found in retail stores. The $529 Dell Inspiron i1545-4266IBU is available in a rainbow of colors, but no matter which hue you choose, the polished design masks a substandard feature set. We love the fit and feel of this budget laptop--comfortable keyboard, roomy display, still light enough for daily travel--but competing models offer better features for the same money. By comparison, the $529 Asus K60I-RBBBR05 boasts an LED-backlit display and Wireless-N Wi-Fi--two features absent on the Inspiron… Full Story »

Caring for Your Laptop
Laptop News on Computer World &bull Mar 8, 2010
Last month I discussed general PC maintenance, so this time I'll stick to laptop-specific issues. You're more likely to damage a laptop than a desktop PC (no one has ever driven off, forgetting the desktop on top of their car), and once damaged, laptops are harder and more expensive to repair. Keep the battery cool. Today's lithium batteries wear out… Full Story »
