Review Samsung NP-R780-JS03DE Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Today
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 Today
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 »

Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 review
Liliputing &bull Mar 8, 2010
The Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 is Lenovo's third netbook in the IdeaPad line. But you could probably have guessed that from the name. Here's what you might not know: It's the best looking 10 inch netbook Lenovo has released to date, and it's the first with a new Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor. The netbook is thin and light, and comes with a choice of a black or red cover featuring a textured, fingerprint-resistant cover. But in order to keep the laptop as small as possible while providing a nearly full sized keyboard, Lenovo chose to build… Full Story »

Review Sony Vaio VPC-F11Z1/E Notebook
Notebook Check &bull Feb 27, 2010
It easy to recognize its purpose as a desktop weapon by the massive build of the case at first glance. The measurements hardly allow it to fit into the rucksack, and the weight of 3.15 kilos, plus the 534 grams for the power adapter, speak against mobile use. Users can however get their joy from the high quality construction of the chassis and the lid. With both hands holding the sides, the chassis will only bend minimally when applying force. The hand rest area and the touchpad are similarly stable. An exception is the left area, which can be… Full Story »
