So far, I have truly enjoyed this laptop. I've had it since mid-December. The battery life is great (I might be biased, my previous laptop only lasted 45 seconds on battery) it runs fast (I might be biased, my last one had 1gigabyte of ram) and the speakers are really clear and loud too. The keyboard has a great feel to it; you can tell which key you're pressing just by the space between keys. Every now and then it doesn't recognize a key press, typically the ones below homerow, but that's not frequent enough to be a real concern. The backspace key takes some getting used to since it's a tad smaller than your fingers want it to be. I found myself hitting num lock a lot by accident. And unless you can reach an octave +3 on a piano, you won't be able to adjust the volume with one hand. (You have to press the function key and the left or right arrow keys at the same time. Volume adjustments in programs or on the desktop would still work fine, but it takes longer.)

Windows 8 is smooth and speedy, and makes it quick to start programs if you've pinned them to the start menu. The swiping to switch programs is a little bit hypersensitive sometimes, so you have to be careful not to drag your fingers too close to the edges or rest your left hand on the pad while navigating. The scrollbar on the right of the touchpad is a little hard to find sometimes, since the touchpad is flush with the frame of the laptop, but I've found that the two-finger touch scrolling option is easy enough.

Also, it is an incredibly glossy computer, so you will definitely have dust visible on it almost all the time. But really, it's what's inside that counts, right?

Aside from that, it's a fine machine, and very fun to use. I heartily recommend it.

ONLY PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEVICE. BUT WINDOWS 8 IS QUITE A CHALLENGE. NAVIGATION

IS AT THIS POINT, AT LEAST, VERY, VERY DIFFICULT AND LOADED WITH TONS OF WILD GOOSE CHASES.

BUT I'M CERTAIN THAT ONCE WE MASTER THIS INCREDIBLY STEEP LEARNING CURVE, ALL WILL BE WELL.

Review of MSI X320-037US 13.4-Inch Laptop - Black

Customer Ratings:

The MSI X340 is an extremely slim (0.7" thin) and light (just under 3-lb) laptop that rivals the MacBook Air, but without the high price tag and it also runs Windows! Vista Home Premium 64-bit to be exact. I have an Lenovo U110, which is an amazing laptop all on its, but I found myself wanting a bigger screen, and the x340 is the perfect answer, its 13.4" LED-backlit LCD screen is bright and show good vivid color contrast. The keyboard is not as responsive as the Lenovo (which generally regarded as having the best keyboard in the industy), but nevertheless, it is a very respectable keyboard that show little flex during typing. The HDMI 1080p works perfectly on my Samsung LCD, which I used quite often not just to watch video, but also to simply use it as a large computer monitor along with my cordless Logitech keyboard and mouse. The HDMI also passes audio to my Samsung LCD TV speaker, not sure if it pass 5.1 digital surround signal since I don't have an HDMI AV receiver. This is just about the most perfect ultra-portable laptop, with its price, weight, large 13.4" screen. The only thing I can think of that would make this laptop perfect is an additional USB port (currently only 2) and the additional of a second/right mouse button, and perhaps a slightly more powerful battery. The standard 4-cell last a little over 3 hours of mixed use with Wifi on at all time with FTP upload, web browsing, document creation and screen brightness set at about 75%. I know some of you might also want to add DVD/blu-ray drive to the mix, but the resulting increase in price, size and weight will not justify the benefit. This is a wonderful laptop for those of us who want a small and light ultraportable with a large screen, but didn't want to spend more than $1000 for a new laptop.

After trying and returning an HP Mini 1000 from Verizon I ordered an X340 from Amazon and have no regrets. While I think the new 11.6" form factor machines (e.g. Acer 751h) will be ideal for train use, I wanted the perfect ultra-portable for home which had a little more horsepower and a bigger screen. As others have said, while this machine costs double what a 10" netbook does, it is a fraction of the price of a Macbook Air or Sony Vaio with pretty equivalent specs.

The packaging and design of the X340 are beautiful, and contrary to some other reviewers, I do not find it to be too plasticy or the keyboard to have too much flex. I think Timothy Lam's review is spot on so I won't duplicate. The machine runs Vista 32 respectably right out of the box, but I immediately upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit without a hitch or DVD drive using a shareware program called Virtual Clone Drive. Projected battery life increased by about 20 minutes to 4:07, but I have not had it long enough to cite what you can realistically expect. If that is unacceptable there is supposed to be an optional 8 cell battery, or you should consider the X320 with Atom Z530 and 8 hour battery life for $600 (same size and great screen).

I think the screen size is ideal for an ultra-portable, and despite the screen being glossy, I noticed very little glare, especially compared to the HP 1000. Although the touchpad lacks 2 discreet buttons, I found it to be excellent, as are the speakers for a notebook. The light weight and ergonomics were perfect for chilling on the couch, and working or surfing. It really is a delight to use, and kind of intoxicating.

In summary, depending on your needs, there is virtually nothing to dislike about this computer and I think MSI has scored a big hit in this 13.4" ultra-portable category.

Other than the keyboard, I absolutely love this machine. The LED screen is bright and crisp just as my MacBook Pro. I was just about to buy MBA before I read about this laptop.

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and with minor tweaks (mostly to xorg.conf for the weird screen resolution), got everything working correctly. I need to use Unix as I'm a software engineer and the performance of this does not disappoint. It is now the portable machine for the RubyHead.

Bought two for my two sons.

Both are gamers and are very impressed with it's abilities.

Just update the drivers on the video card (which you should do anyway on a new laptop) and it will handle anything you can throw at it. My youngest had a powerful dell desktop he was gaming on before this. He says this Ultrabook leaves his desktop in the dust.

It would be hard to imagine anyone being less than impressed with this machine.

Discount Sony 15.5" VAIO VPCEE31FX/WI Laptop Notebook PC

Customer Ratings:

I got this laptop when my Dell Inspiron 1525 pooped out (I can't even say "old" Dell because I'd only had it for 1 year and 9 months). The processor is a little on the slow side, but it's fine for me to use my Adobe programs like Photoshop, which says a lot because Photoshop can really be a hog. I was shopping for something with a larger screen; 13'' is too small for me but 17'' is too bag, and this is perfect for me. It's a little on the heavy side, but fine to carry in a laptop bag. I also like the color because I was looking for something other than black, and the white is actually sparkly if you look closely!

There's plenty of space to store my stuff with the 500gb hard drive. I did wish it had more RAM, but it will do. It's also great that it comes with an hd webcam. Very handy for skypeing. I also like the spill-resistant keyboard and the brushed aluminum. It makes the laptop always look new. All in all, its is a great product!

UPDATE #3 Sept22/13

Cursor in touchpad erratic from get go. No matter how many times it's been adjusted (sensitivity, etc)via control panel.

Letters on the keys ALREADY rubbing off!! Really?! The 'T' symbol on the key almost totally gone! Not even been THREE months! HP customer service has been very responsive, but the touchpad issue still not resolved. And the key symbols? Just cheap. Does not bode well for the future of this machine. And have passed the Amazon 30 day period so guess I am stuck with a $600 piece of Chinese junk.

OK....I found out that online Forums beat, hands down, HP's (or any Company) support. After hours with HP Support and remote assist for the problem of the computer constantly kicking me off and back to sign-on screen, HP said to reinstall Windows 7. BUT before I had to do that, I found out via forums, that it was the screen-saver set ups causing the glitch. Problem seems solved. The slowness issue turns out to be ATT and my supposedly FAST service is actually 1.3-1.5 Mbps (even tho I have been paying for the faster one!) UGH! SO...nothing is the fault of the HP ProBook! The only feature I wish I had, as I stated earlier, is a backlit keyboard. Everything else seems great now! Especially once ATT gets with the program I PAID for...fast DSL! :)

Moving from a (heavy) 15.6" 2008 Gateway Vista 32-Bit Home Prem, with Intel T5200 1.60 GHz, 2GB RAM to this ProBook 4440s with i5 7200 rpm core, etc. and thought it would be a LOT faster, etc. (It has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit)

NO Difference that I can tell. Maybe it's the settings? Bloatware? I am not very computer savvy but still....

I have mostly "cloud" stuff on it, and have not installed any programs yet. It takes as long as the Gateway to Start from shutdown to active online-internet...actually slower? Almost EVERY video buffers over and over...You Tubes, News, etc.

It's crazy?!

I had read several good reviews on this machine so am a wee bit disappointed.

I think I will take it to a computer-geek shop and have them go over it and see if there might be stuff on it that is slowing it down. Hate having to shell out more $$$ for that.

Also, the fingerprint recognition doesn't seem to have a set-up wizard/instructions? But that's a subject HP Support should be able to assist in.

One reason I went with HP is their Customer Support, which has always been stellar.

I will see if performance improves in the next few days and update if it is just something I may have overlooked.

I did goof in one criteria...backlit keys. I opted to not go for one with that feature and boy do I ever regret that oversight!! :)!

Discount Dell Precision M6400 Mobile Workstation Laptop 17 in LCD NVidia

Customer Ratings:

My version of the Precision M6400 came with the full 12Gb of RAM and the Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 3.07 GHz processor, somewhat upgunned from the boilerplate listing. It also came with a Seagate 500Gb 7,200rpm HDD. I happened to have its twin, so I installed the pair in a RAID0 configuration. I have an Intel Quad Core Q9100 processor which I will be installing in place of the T9900. Even though the computer is 4 years old, with its video card, I have a unit which will do everything I want to do in Photoshop and DxO for years to come; and I can always upgrade the video card too.

The Dell is a thing of beauty, at least to my eyes fine industrial design executed to perfection in excellent materials, no corners cut, no unnecessary flourishes. Every time I pick it up and put it across my knees yes, I don't have a desk to put it on I'm a happy camper. The keyboard is wonderful to type on, the screen is crystal clear and the colour depth stunning, the touchpad and the buttons, and the pointing stick are finely tuned and responsive. Almost every aspect of the computer can be adjusted in the BIOS or in on-screen menus. People comment about the system's weight, but that is a necessary price that has to be paid for the build, including in my case two hard drives, and absolute rigidity and protection of the internal components.

This is the best computer I have ever owned, and I have lost count. I started with an XT clone in 1986.

I have had my M6400 Covet for almost 2 years now. It is a great desktop replacement, but portability is not a strong suite. I've carried it on trips but it is just too heavy--best as stationary.

Performance wise, no compliants, runs anything. It has the QX9300 Quad Core and I have it at 8 GB out of 16 GB max; it is fast, but upgrading to 16 GB is cost prohibitive for me now. Running Windows Vista 64 Bit. Have 2 hard drives installed. The laptop screen is beautiful to behold, but I use it docked with a 24 inch external display at 1920 x 1200, a IBM keyboard and three mice--it is a desktop replacement for me.

The newer M6500 has greater capability with i7 processor, 2 GB of video ram and 32 GB of system ram capacity. You can never keep up. But this suits my needs for a while.

I don't do gaming so don't know how it is, but should be awesome.

I purchased this Laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition Laptop) on 8/31/2011, This Laptop was not in original packaging box [should be packed in manufacture ( HP) box], so there is no manufacture information on the box about the Laptop.

Once the any item out of Manufacturer packaging and put into another box, that item should not be treated as new item and it should come under used item category.

I try to return this product and I am getting these time wasting emails from seller (L J Distributor) and no help at all from Amazon.com.

We bought this laptop for a student & we LOVE it!! It is perfect for what we need it for. We got it for $299 at WalMart.com & the extended warranty too for $29.

I was a bit nervous about it because another reviewer complained about the volume, but we find the volume to be fine. It isn't going to shatter any windows, but it is perfectly fine for listening to music while computing, etc. I wouldn't turn up the volume to listen to music across a room, but like I said, it is great for listening to music, while surfing the net, etc. I will say I HATE WINDOWS 8 100%, but that is not a computer performance issue... that is an OS issue.

If you want to listen to loud music get some decent plug in speakers & there you go. For $300 you certainly can't expect so much. It is a basic laptop that serves it purpose well for those seeking champagne on a beer budget.

This is a great laptop for those on a tight budget... it has a good amount of RAM & a decent hard drive for the money... PLUS the hard drive can be expanded to increase capacity AND the RAM can be beefed up, which is a big plus in my book because we can update it before we need to replace it.

So far it is a WIN, WIN!! I will update down the road after we've had it for a while.

The material it's made of feels cheap to the touch. I have been using this laptop for a few weeks now without any issues, until the last two days. I have not added anything to the computer to cause it to be slow although the last two times i've tried starting it up it doesn't want to respond.
