Reviews of TOPSELLER X301 SU9400 2776P6U 13.3-Inch Laptop

Hi!

Received my X301 2 weeks ago from Electronica Direct and I would like to thank them for the excellent prompt service, This product is 2776-P6U it has all the above mentioned specs + AT&T wireless WWAN HSDPA 7.2 + GPS once you put your hand on the X301 you will notice that built quality is superior to the current T series meanwhile the reason why I'm rating this product 3 stars only is because of the keyboard its just awful!!! It flexes excessively specially the left side just like a cheap notebook! from what I came to know Lenovo implemented a new keyboard design that caused the problem I have contacted Lenovo with the matter and they informed me that they will look into it and I'm still waiting! The main reason I always buy ThinkPad's is the legendary IBM keyboard and now it's gone! I'm very disappointed with my X301 and I don't recommend it!

I am 90% happy with this laptop. It is very light and very portable. Mine came with Windows XP pre-installed and a set of Vista 'restore' disks. These didn't work (I called Lenovo support and their suggestion was to wipe the hard-drive and start again, which I did but that made no difference) so I had to install my own copy of Vista. It then took 2 days to download all the updates to my copy of Vista and all the X301 drivers.

However, now it is up and running, it works very well. You can notice the benefit of low access-time of an SSD, particularly when it comes to tasks such as browsing picture thumbnails. It boots pretty quickly too. I would point out a few things gripes worth knowing though..

The battery-life is listed in the specs as up-to 5.5 hours. In my experience that is really around 3.5 hours.

The processor is a little under-powered and this can show itself in video playback.

The fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to work half the time (but who cares?).

That all sounds a bit negative, but on the whole I am impressed. If I had my money back I would buy an X301 again!

I am currently on my 8th or 9th ThinkPad since IBM debuted the ThinkPad Iine in 1992 and continue to prefer the overall quality, portability, screen resolution, utility and look of the X series laptops.

My current 13" ThinkPad X301 with an SSD is ultra-slim, weighs 3.2lbs., has clean simple lines, and is appropriate for business meetings. With the Enhanced Experience (EE), these laptops are also much quicker at boot-up and in processing when multi-tasking. Of all the laptops I have tried, I prefer not only the keyboard and overall ergonomics of the ThinkPads, but the balance, solid construction and feel.

I dock it to a 24" monitor and wireless keyboard when at home, and will sometimes carry a simple bookstand and wireless travel keyboard when working on a lot of spreadsheets, PPT presentations or word processing. This way, I can open the ThinkPad all the way, place it in the bookstand, and have the screen at eye level. It is thin and light enough to do this.

The solid state duo core processor makes for a quick boot-up and multi-tasking. Have owned the X301 for over 2 years and have not had any issues with it. I do run a good utility program to keep it running smoothly.

For business purposes, the simple lines of the matte black carbonite case makes for a durable travel laptop with a solid construction that is not distracting in presentations (think Alienware).

Visually and tactically, I do prefer the matte black and design of the X-series ThinkPads.

Customer Ratings:

The laptop itself is fantastic. It is blazingly fast and will provide you with more power than you ever need. Windows 8 is absolutely built for touch screen though, and you'll find yourself wondering if you're missing anything by not having one. If you, like me, don't much care for touch screen laptops, then this is the laptop brand for you.

**Edit** The first laptop was shipped to me with some damage to it. After contacting the seller, they shipped a new model out to me, giving me the ability to swap the hard drives and send back the damaged one with the UPS guy! Well done!

Tried the computer for one week now. Seems to be as expected, It is quite fast for my applications, but I do not use it for gaming, just business applications. For the specs, it is an excellent price. Like the specs and especially the back lit keyboard after the problem with seeing the keys with my last HP notebook. Not thrilled with windows 8. I find that a huge step back from Window 7 but not an option in this case. Bought it for the specs at the price point and was not disappointed.

Discount Acer Aspire TimelineX AS5820T-6401 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black Brushed

Customer Ratings:

I was on a budget when shopping for my new laptop, and I did a lot of research. In the end, I went with this Acer. There were three primary aspects that sold me on this laptop, i5 CPU, slim profile brushed aluminum design, and 6000mAh rated battery.

Other features on this laptop are pretty common in the $630 price range. The screen is clear and vibrant. The actual hard drive space is 581GB with the operating system taking 30GB, so you are left with 551GB. This should be plenty more than enough for most users. These days, I almost never look at the hard drive capacity when purchasing a new computer. I think all of them have a hard drive that is big enough for me. What I care more is its clocked speed. This is not a gaming machine, so don't expect the laptop to play heavily 3D rendered games. It will play HD videos and casual games fine.

=====Battery Test=====

1). Default brightness and volume halfway, laptop gets around 4.5 hours for watching YouTube videos with no other application running in the background.

2). Default brightness and volume halfway, laptop also gets around 4.5 hours for browsing the web, chatting on an instant messenger, and playing music using Windows Media Player.

3). Brightness to its lowest but not turning off the screen and idling the laptop without any application running, it will last 10+ hours.

Overall the laptop does not achieve its claimed 8-hour limit under practical use. For most users, you will probably end up between 4 and 5 hours, but this is still better than 2-3 hours that you could get from other competitors in this price range.

########################################

Here I'm going to list the pro's and con's of this laptop that I think are relevant in the $630 price range.

=====Pro's=====

*** 2.66GHz Intel Core i5-480M dual-core processor (hard to find an i5 CPU in this price range)

*** 640GB SATA hard drive (more than most competitors in the same price range)

*** 1.3-megapixel HD webcam (some competitors are still using non-HD webcams)

*** 6000mAh rated battery (4400mAh rated battery from almost all other competitors in the same price range)

*** One of the thinnest 15.6" laptops currently available on the market (however, it is not thinner than the MacBook Pro as pointed out by other reviewers but only a fraction thicker)

*** Multi-Gesture (a convenient feature normally doesn't exist in this price range. To use the circular-motion, you must start your finger from the top right hand corner. This can also be accomplished by sliding with two fingers vertically.)

=====Con's=====

*** 1066MHz RAM (this is nowhere to be considered slow as most competitors and last generation of MacBook Pro are using RAMs clocked at this speed also, but some have upgraded to 1333MHz RAMs such as the Dell Inspiron)

*** No Bluetooth (personally I almost never use this, but this is no longer a premium feature)

*** Keyboard (not a major issue but typing on this keyboard feels a bit awkward. If you are a fast and heavy typist, you might not like this.)

########################################

Apple has been setting benchmark on many things. The hardware specs on their 2011 MacBook Pros will likely to set the benchmark for upcoming PCs as well. Here, I am going to compare the hardware specs between this Acer and the 2011 base 13.3" MacBook Pro priced at $1,199.

* CPU: Acer's processor is slightly faster.

>>> Acer: 2.66GHz Intel Core i5-480M dual-core processor (2.93GHz with Turbo Boost)

>>> MacBook Pro: 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-2410M dual-core processor (2.9GHz with Turbo Boost)

* GPU: MacBook Pro has the second generation of Intel GPU whereas Acer is using the first generation of Intel GPU.

>>> Acer: Intel HD Graphics with 128MB of dedicated system memory

>>> MacBook Pro: Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of shared system memory

* RAM: Both have the same capacity, but MacBook Pro's is clocked faster.

>>> Acer: 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM

>>> MacBook Pro: 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM

* Hard drive: Both are clocked at the same speed, but Acer doubled the amount of capacity.

>>> Acer: 640GB 5400-rpm SATA hard drive

>>> MacBook Pro: 320GB 5400-rpm SATA hard drive

* Battery: Acer actually has a stronger battery, but MacBook Pro has a more energy efficient OS and a smaller screen, so real life battery test can still favor the MacBook Pro.

>>> Acer: 6000mAh rated battery

>>> MacBook Pro: 5800mAh rated battery

Overall I think the Acer stacks up against the 2011 base 13.3" MacBook Pro very well in terms of hardware specs. For almost half the price, this Acer is a bargain. If you are not loyal to any brand, on a budget, and want a fast and long lasting 15" laptop, this is one of the best options out there. If you are waiting for the price drop of Intel second generation of Core processors, don't bother. There really aren't that many changes between the first and second generations of Intel Core processors. It could also take several months before we would see the price drop. I would recommend picking this up before it's gone.

I was surprised after reading the first and only review gave this machine 3 stars.... This is a five star machine. I did A LOT of homework before getting this computer. If you read the reviews of similar models that simply have smaller hard drives and slower processors, you will get the jist of just how solid this laptop is.

I am not going to go into a lot of detail, but if you go into the purchase understanding that this laptop does not have bluetooth (not an issue for me at all), then you will love it!

I got this for my daughter for an early graduation present and to take on to college next fall. She wanted a laptop that had longer battery life than MOST computers. It does! You will not find a model with these specs, for this price with longer battery life. You will have to get a smaller screen size to do that. She wanted it large enough to watch a movie or tv show via the internet from time to time (plus it has the HDMI out to hook to TV). She wanted a hard drive large enough to hold all her pics and songs. We put everything on there already (tons of pics and about 1500 songs) and it still has 528 GB left! If you need a computer with more storage, you should GET AN EXTERNAL DRIVE! Geez! You can get 2 TB drive for less than $100 at Newegg.

And I would like to add that NO hard drive is going to yeild the space that is advertised because of two main factors 1) It is measured differently by the operating system vs. the manufacturers (about 7% less)which is true of of all hard drives! Of course this disparity becomes more apparent the larger the hard drive (7% of 640 is almost 45 GB!).

2) Hey folks! There is a thing called the OPERATING SYSTEM that uses some space. And sometimes there is a separately partitioned drive (d:) that is embedded within the c: drive used for system restore. Yes, it may come to a surprise to some, but the operating system does take up some space! So no, this laptop will not have 640 GB of free hard drive space when you boot it up for the first time, but seriously, many are trashing it for this reason when they are simply ignorant of why.

Also attractive about this computer is the processora Core i5. This computer is twice as fast as my Gateway NV52 that I am typing on right now. It has twice the hard drive space of my Gateway. It has at least thrice (that means three times!) the battery life of the Gateway. Sure, you may not get 8 hours, but that was the official measurement using the MobileMark 2007 Productivity test, which is what most use by the way. Like ALL the battery life ratings out there, take it with a grain of salt because they are ALL stretching the truth.

It is also lighter than my 2 year old Gateway, however it seems more solidly built. And the Acer was just a little bit more than Gateway I bought less than two years ago. This is the nature of electronic/computers though. I got a good price on the Acer for my daughter though[..] and free shipping from B&H. I suspect more retailers will sell it for around that price for the pre-graduation sales soon.

Again, I doubt you will do any better for the price than this laptop, but more power to you if you do!

Best Deals for Acer Aspire TimelineX AS5820T-6401 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black Brushed

It's been about 6 weeks since I started this AS5820T-6401. I have conflicted opinions; on one hand for the cost of this unit, this laptop presents remarkable features that are nicely done.

I'll just mention a couple of my personal favorites:

The processor is robust and quick. Although, I am not a "gamer" and my demands are pretty minimal,so I am not a good judge of its limitations.

The optical drive is an awfully nice feature and performs well.

The keyboard has a good feel.

The inputs and outputs all fuction well, jacks etc make solid connections.

Especially nice, is the Synaptics pad; especially when adjusting "momentum" "sticky borders"etc. This is the 1st time I actually prefer the feel more than many quality "mice" that I've used.

Although, the speakers are not loud at all,the quality of sound is very good; flat throughout the audio spectrum [that's a goods thing];especially apparent when using good headphones or more particularly, when outputting into my ampified sound system.

NOW for the conflict: and the reason I'm doing this review; there is a problem that I have, and some others have also encountered, something appears to be wrong with the BIOS or some driver as best as I can tell. A number of times the boot up never completes with it just "frozen" with the fan running etc. well before loading any windows components.

Having said this, I admit to not being a technician BUT, I've reloaded the OS using the factory backup and still have this periodic problem, especially curious that it happens the 1st time I start it in the day but I can "restart" many times later that day, without problem [its warmed up?] This is not right. Digging into any Acer support site is futile so far, and it appears this is not an isolated problem and its not clear that Acer is going to do anything about it. So be careful before investing too much in personallizing your laptop. If its a BIOS problem, that's not so good.

So, CAUTION, before loading up your music, videos, and many other time consuming programs, notice any problems over a few days , no matter how painful the wait> I can testify I am not happy to have gone through the hoops I've now jumped through and still there is something wrong with startup. I don't want to now stuggle trying to find out how to replace what may be a lemon laptop that I've now had 2 weeks over Amazon's return policy......

Honest reviews on Acer Aspire TimelineX AS5820T-6401 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black Brushed

I'm a programmer, so I can be pretty hard on a laptop. This is my third Acer and I have not been disappointed with any of them. When comparing prices, I ended up choosing this particular model for the screen resolution, memory, processor, keyboard, and case style.

Pros:

*Value for money. Acer consistently has the best bang for the buck.

*Battery life. On the first full discharge I got around 6 hours by using Acer's power save mode and just light internet surfing.

Cons:

*Squeaky keyboard. I bought this model specifically because of the feedback others had given the keyboard. This could be all in how I'm using this laptop (usually sitting on the couch), but a few keys squeak--just an annoyance.

*Eject button for CD/DVD drive. It's located above the keyboard and not on the drive itself. Without taking everything apart to look, that seems to be a point of failure to me--not sure how easy it would be to switch the drive out either.

Other thoughts:

*I have it dual booting Fedora 14 and Windows 7. It took me a little while to get the mouse working the way I wanted it to in Fedora because I've become so used to two-finger scrolling. Using the 64-bit version cleared that right up. The wireless card is a Broadcom (should have checked that...) which requires a kernel mod, not a big deal, just something to be aware of.

*When moving from site to site in Windows, the colors seem to be a tad off. This could be just me, but nothing noticeable for me to mark it as a con as it could just be a driver issue.

*The case has a bevel with a trench/notch cut in it that from time to time gets my arm hair caught in it. Just an FYI because that can be painful.

*Speaker quality is lacking. I know, before you say anything--it's a laptop. I have spent the last few years with an HP laptop and absolutely love their speakers. After tinkering with the settings, things are better, but still leaves me wanting more.

All in all, I would say this is a good laptop. It's not a high-end gaming machine, but for general every day use, it's great. It has performed well every time I've opened the case and worked flawlessly. I would definitely reccommend this laptop and the Acer brand.

I've been shopping around and comparing models from different manufacturers, but keep coming back to this model. I was attracted to the non-assuming professional appearance and slim design. I don't care much for the shiny plastic models that seem to proliferate at the local Best Buy.

I was not disappointed with the appearance when my shipment arrived. It has a very elegant and professional look to it in my opinion. It's slim design is also very attractive.

In addition, it is a very capable machine. The I5-480M inside more than holds its own. I can run MS Word, VisualStudio.Net, MS SQL Server, and SQL Server Management Studio without any problems.

I do a lot of typing and find it very easy to type on this machine. I've read some reviews where people have complained about the placement of the track pad, which I don't quite understand. The track pad, in my opinion, is situated where it should be. Centering it would require you to lift your hand off the keyboard more than necessary.

I don't think it's fair to rate a machine for things it doesn't have, especially when it never claimed to have it in the first place, ie blue tooth, gaming graphics, ...etc. Not very helpful in my opinion.

I can understand why some reviewers are disappointed with the speakers though, it can seem on the quiet side at first. But for myself, I found it quite adequate for my purposes (general business machine). Besides, I found disabling the Dolby features in the Control Panel helped pump up the volume somewhat.

As far as bloatware is concerned, I found that it really didn't have any more than any other laptop. Besides, it was fairly easy to remove any way. In rating, I'm more concerned with things that can't be changed, like video, keyboard feel, ...etc. In my opinion, this laptop deserves high marks for design and performance.

As far as battery life is concerned, I'm actually impressed. I know that a lot of manufacturers exaggerate in the first place, so I wasn't really expecting 8 hours of battery life. I've actually been averaging 5 to 6 hours with typical use, ie web surfing, compiling code, and typing. And that's with high performance enabled. I barely got 1 hour on my older Toshiba, so I'm actually very satisfied.

I found the screen vibrant and clear. Some reviewers commented that the screen was too glossy, but I didn't find it any more glossy than Apple's PowerBook, which has a great screen by the way. Too bad Apple target its product to yuppies more concerned with status symbols, than budget conscious buyers. The comparable Apple machine was 3 times more than this Acer model.

I also tested this machine via a burn in software and it passed without any errors.

*** Review update. ***

I am soooooo disappointed. I returned my first machine, because I was experiencing startup problems. It appeared to hang either before or after loading the bios. All I knew, is that it would not even get to loading windows. Neither restoring to factory default or updating the bios resolved the problem. I was hoping that I just got a lemon and the next one would be better.

I wanted to love this machine so much because of it's aesthetic slim design, unfortunately my next one started to go bad on me too. This time with a different problem. After leaving it on all night playing music videos to run down the battery, the fan would not stop spinning, making an annoying audible sound. I thought it was due to the machine simply getting too hot, but after leaving it off the next night and starting it up cold in the morning, the fan kicked on immediately with an annoying, low droning sound (with sporadic clicking noises), kinda like my desktop pc. The sound would even travel up my headset when listening to music.

I can tolerate the noise that my desktop PC makes, because I am able to shield myself from it by placing my PC under my desk on the floor. Obviously, you can't do the same with a laptop. I was very torn between keeping it or returning it, but in the end, the noise was just too annoying to ignore and it really ruined my initial experience I had with this laptop.

For me, the elegance and quality that Acer was trying to achieve with this laptop was only to be superficial. Apparently, the components inside the machine was not given the same attention to quality as it's exterior. Its unfortunate that Acer has not quite escaped its reputation for low quality and poor reliability, at least for me.

Thinkpad T420 14" 320GB 4GB Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this laptop for school in late summer 2011. Specs are as follows: 14" Core i3 320GB HDD, 4GB Ram, no extras, the absolute basic model. Paid $640 w/shipping and taxes. I use both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04, both of which operate excellent (with a few minor tweaks in Ubuntu). This laptop boots fast, both operating systems can be booted in less than a minute, with Windows a bit faster. Holds a charge for 5+ hours while doing basic tasks like internet, word processing, Audacity, etc. Its nice to have a laptop that isn't tethered to the outlet all the time.

This laptop has a high quality build. The screen hinges feel very solid, no creaking in the body, and the keyboard is very tactile and comfortable. The keyboard also has the little red trackpoint in the middle and two extra mouse clickers so you can navigate with one hand (A great feature!). I would purchase again in a heartbeat, this laptop is light years better than my previous laptop, an HP Pavilion.

My only complaints are that the widescreen doesn't fill the front of the lid, giving a feeling of smallness, and there is no HDMI port.

I don't review products often, but I can honestly say I wouldn't want anyone to pay for a more expensive laptop with fewer features. If you are a student, professional, or an avid home user, do yourself a favor, and buy this laptop. I've used my girlfriend's Macbook Pro, and the Lenovo has as good if not better performance and build, and is about half the cost.

Pros:

Sturdy build withstands constant backpack travel. Love the rubberized matte finish it hides oily hand prints and feels nice while providing grip.

Good keyboard. Lenovo is pretty much the only option if chiclet keys aren't your thing. This one is not as good as a desktop keyboard, but comfortable to type on without making errors. Trackpoint works well although I usually use the touchpad. Some don't like the bumpy texture but I prefer it. Touchpad is responsive. Fingerprint scanner works well.

Good performance / power compromise. I opted for Core i3, HD3000, and upgraded to the 1600x900 display (the cost was reasonable to add some extra workspace). Without heavy gaming, the i7 didn't make much sense but if you can afford it then paying a little extra for an i5 might be worth it. Later upgraded to 8GB RAM and an Intel 80GB SSD for kicks.

Internet/office any recent machine should be fast with these, and the T420 is no exception.

Video playback Handles most HD files, but at very high bitrates will stutter for a moment. I suspect this has more to do with the integrated GPU than the i3.

Gaming It won't run Crysis on high settings but older titles I've tested Civilization IV, Unreal Tournament run fluently. Deus Ex 3 even runs... at about 3fps.

Battery life with wireless on is about 5 hours, almost as good as a 10 inch Atom netbook I used to own.

Easy expansion. Open a panel with one screw to install memory, mSATA or HDD. One mSATA and one memory slot come unoccupied.

Built-in speakers are actually not bad at all.

VERY fast shipping from Lenovo.

Cons:

Placement of optical drive button is problematic when using the laptop in certain positions (laying down). It will constantly be opened by accident and can become quite annoying. Fortunately I don't often use optical disks and swapped the drive with an aftermarket optical to SATA adapter.

Too much bezel particularly above/below the screen. Why not either make the screen fit the available area or reduce the size of the machine?

No HDMI? I know DisplayPort is better, but would it have been much trouble to include one HDMI port? VGA is available also.

No USB 3.0 not actually that important for now, but again, how much would it cost to do this for a machine that may see years of use?

Removed bay battery capability for T420 / T420i? This makes zero sense and I'm not paying hundreds more for the T420S.

Overall a fine choice for a student or business machine that is built to last.

Shipping on this item was extremely fast. I received the laptop before a tracking number was even established online. So far so good on this little beauty. It's the perfect business workhorse. I mated it to a 22 inch LG LED monitor so that my wife could have a comfortable viewing experience since she uses this laptop to work from home. You cannot go wrong with a lenovo, especially one that sells for under $800. I just hope it performs in the long run.

Honest reviews on Thinkpad T420 14" 320GB 4GB

Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad laptop, and probably one of the better values for this price. However, if you expect the kind of quality thinkpads used to have, you will probably be as disappointed as I am (Hence the 2 stars--I just expected a no-hassle product).

It is no longer a tank-like structure, built to last forever. The keyboard feels flimsy: I have had problems with the space bar after a few weeks (I have to hit it right in the middle) and the arrow keys felt flimsy and cheap from day one, as do the mouse buttons. Hope they will last, but I am pessimistic. The volume buttons on top of the keyboard are also often on strike.

In addition, the computer is used as a marketing device: Every now and then notifications pop up urging the customer to buy more lenovo stuff. Annoying.

This is not so much a critique of Lenovo, as it is a critique of laptops in general: Over the last decade, the quality has declined spectacularly, and I was hoping Lenovo would resist this trend. Before this thinkpad, I owed the ideapad y430 (bought about 2 yrs ago), and, in terms of the keyboard, this feels like a downgrade, although it's a thinkpad.

The right click button on the touchpad is a little messed up. It only sometimes works and it sticks a little. The rest of the time it just left clicks.

Furthermore it has the speakers on the bottom of the laptop. (A very poor choice of location in my opinion.) However, sound quality is still good.

Besides those things, it's a good solid laptop.

If you use an external mouse, you'll be fine.

This laptop is just what I expected. not too light, not too heavy. Extremely fast start-up. It arrived on time and doesn't have all the unnecessary pre-loaded apps and programs that are on others. There is only one issue and that is the space bar. If you don't hit it in the "right" spot it does not advance the cursor. Maybe it's just the one I received, but I can see where the Keyboard is slightly raised in the middle and I think that is what the problem is.

My only problem is killing the touch pad, which makes typing a document an adventure. I am very satisfied with this laptop. Delivery was very fast and it came well protected.

First of all, this is a budget laptop -this is not a monster that cost nearly a grand, so you have to keep your expectations in check. This laptop works quite well for daily tasks. The screen is low-resolution, but that is par for the course for this price point. The processor is quite adequate, and the graphics performance is nice for light gaming. 640 GB hard drive is nice and roomy. Really, I found only two negatives:

1) The CPU is capable of handling dual-channel RAM, but it only comes with one RAM module. Add a 2nd module to get a nice memory bandwidth boost -this should make the CPU and the graphics just a little bit faster. Note that mine came with a low-voltage 4G module, so I had to hunt for another low-voltage one to put in there (I added a Samsung).

2) The optical drive does not handle marginal-quality discs as well as other drives do. How often do you use an optical drive, though?

If you can grab this at a good price, go for it.

Honest reviews on HP Pavillion G6-2123us 15.6" Laptop (AMD A6-4400 Trinity Processor

I bought this HP for my wife as a Christmas gift. She has some specific qualities she likes in a laptop (size, weight, screen, battery life, keyboard feel, etc.) and this Pavillion addressed them all with aplomb. To be brief, she is very very happy with her gift and that, dear reader, is what matters.

Customer Ratings:

I have owned this laptop for nearly a month, using it an average of 5 hours a day. I use it for editing and filing photographs, managing our home network, using that network to do professional and financial and personal management and data handling tasks, emails, internet work, listening to music...everything i do on my larger desktop. I love this computer and I think Windows 8 is a hoot and I don't even own a smart phone or tablet. I love Windows 8's new interface, the apps, the ease of moving back and forth between the Metro screen apps and my usual Windows 7 desktop (which is set up just like my larger PC). Windows 8's way of searching and accessing apps, programs, and data is a wonderful improvement.

In short, I would buy this computer again in a heartbeat. To cap it off, I tried four other laptops via Staples and BestBuy (Toshiba, Samsung, HP) and this one was the clear winner.

Buy it, you won't be sorry.

ASUS N81Vp-D2 14-Inch Brown Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Windows Reviews

Customer Ratings:

While searching for the ideal laptop for myself, I found that all laptops seem to have huge trade-offs. This one is no exception. I chose it because it packed a relatively fast CPU and a decent graphics card into a very portable PC. Every other laptop I found with discrete graphics was a lot heavier, and most were pricier. The trade-off here (as with all laptops that have fast CPU's and discrete graphics) is that battery life is far from impressive. Unfortunately, there is no 9-cell (more powerful) battery available. Based on the location of the battery on the bottom of the laptop, I don't think there ever will a more powerful (and larger) option.

Performance on this is great. Windows 7 is extremely responsive, audio production software runs smoothly, and game performance is even better than I expected Dragon Age Origins looks beautiful at the screen's max resolution with most graphics settings somewhere between medium and high. I haven't tried editing video yet, but based on what I've seen so far, I don't expect any performance issues. If you're just planning to browse the web and work on spreadsheets, documents, etc. this may be overkill for you. You would probably have no problems on a cheaper machine with a slower CPU, without discrete graphics, and with longer battery life.

Speaking of battery life, it is pretty short, but I find it to be usable. Asus added a dedicated button for switching power profiles. Switching to battery-saving mode gives a significant boost over high-performance and entertainment modes. I haven't done extensive testing, but it seems that battery-saving mode will get you 4-5 hours of web browsing and other light work, while entertainment mode might let you watch one movie before you need to search for an outlet. Depending on how and where you expect to use your laptop, this may or may not be a problem. In high-performance mode, hot air blows out of the right side, but the bottom doesn't get hot enough to burn laps.

In response to other feedback I've seen:

It's been said that the touch-pad buttons are stiff. I don't find this to be the case at all. They seem quite comfortable to me, my girlfriend, and my mother.

Another reviewer mentioned having issues using the touch-pad scroll. The part about scrolling not stopping without an extra touch is a non-issue. This an intentional behavior that can be changed or turned off in settings. However, the part about having to hit the line is a very real issue. The problem is that the outer edges (maybe 1/4") of the pad do not respond to touch. You don't need to hit the line exactly, but you do need to make sure you're not right at the edge, which frequently requires a look. This is the most annoying problem I have with the n81vp.

Keyboard quality and noise is fine. It's comfortable to type on. It's not silent, but not noticeably loud either.

The function key is where most people would expect 'control' to be, but after a few weeks with the laptop, I find myself getting used to this.

In summary, the Asus N81VP-D2 is great for audio production, multimedia work, gaming, and most other demanding tasks.

It's a waste of money for more casual users and no good if you need long battery life.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer that this is one superb notebook. I was also looking for a notebook that is not too large (15" and above) nor too small and underpowered (12" and less). In the 13" and 14" range, I pretty much narrowed it down to ASUS and Dell Studio XPS 13". I own a two-year old Dell XPS 13", which had its motherboard replaced twice in two years due to heat issues (this seems to be a very common problem with Dell XPS 13" line and Dell doesn't seem to acknowledge it or actively try to find a solution). Bestbuy has Dell Studio XPS 13" at about the same price as this ASUS, but with only one-year warranty. As can be expected, I am hesitant to make a purchase due to my past experience.

ASUS is fast and stable with Windows 7. The machine looks and feels well built. Furthermore, the machine stays cool even under heavy use. The small complaints I have are that it doesn't come with dedicated media keys/buttons, and the keyboard definitely feels different from that of Dell and takes some getting used to. Certainly, I am not faulting ASUS for these. A good thing is that you are getting a bargain buying from Amazon. I was in Taiwan last December the same ASUS model sold there for roughly US$1,300 when you would expect a lower price because ASUS is a Taiwanese brand. I guess Amazon's trade volume must entitle it to a huge discount.

I regret purchasing this computer; it really is not worth the price compared to others on the market now. I have also had some issues with the computer itself. If you Google "ASUS N81 crash" you will find that many people are experiencing random system crashes, especially when trying to do any gaming at all on this computer. There is a possible hardware issue that causes the crash, which many assume to be from the ATI Mobility card, but ASUS has not acknowledged it.

I sent my machine back to ASUS for repairs due to all the random system crashes I experienced; it was updated as "Repaired" and assigned a tracking number the day after received. I called and they said no issues were found with my computer. I called several times and left my number several times, but they would never let me speak with a supervisor, and a supervisor would not call me back. I got my computer back and found that they had removed all the AMD/ATI software from the machine, but didn't make any mention of this on their notes. There is a problem with either the graphics card and/or its software. I did a full reformat and fresh install and got rid of all the ATI and AMD software except for the driver, and my system no longer crashes. The WLAN card included is also really weak. I replaced mine with a Gigabyte GN-WI07HT-RH that I had in an older machine, and it gets much better connection. The hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4. Just google the name of the hard drive and you see what a piece of crap it is. It's a noisy, clunky hard drive; I guess I will replace it with a Hitachi drive on my own dime. No real reason to RMA it for the loud Seagate because it seems like it's the product itself that is a joke, not just mine.

This computer has had issues with multi-tasking. It locks up and requires a full reboot. When I watch stream feeds, I have to reboot 3-4 times in a 2 hour period. I have a netbook that performs better than this computer. It's pretty much a piece of crap.

I experienced terrible customer service, a poor warranty/repair department, and unaddressed shutdown issues make this a computer to avoid, in my opinion. I have purchased three ASUS laptops in the past three years, but after the experience with this one, it will be my last.

Honest reviews on ASUS N81Vp-D2 14-Inch Brown Versatile Entertainment Laptop (Windows

When I purchased this laptop I had several criteria

1) Powerful enough to last my family 3 years at least

2) Enough gaming power to do light gaming

3) Portable I didn't want a 17", I wanted 14-15"

4) A maximum of around $1000

5) A quality name/warranty this is a laptop afterall

1) Power The "windows experience" rating is 5.8 but that is due to the replaceable hard drive. The Processor got 6.4, the graphics 6.7. While the stated max of the motherboard is 4gb RAM, its reported to handle up to 8gb. No this isn't one of the lasted i7 or i5 processors but its a very powerful dual-core and if you aren't doing media editing this will last a long time.

2) Gaming I have Dragon Age running at max details and it doesn't even skip a beat. The specs call the graphics chip a HD4650, the sticker says HD4670. The only difference between the two is clock speed, and this is clocked as a 4650. You could over clock it but I don't see the need yet. This isn't a laptop for hardcore gamers but it can play hardcore games.

3) Portable this is a 14" laptop with desktop replacement hardware! Of course the downside is the tiny battery can't keep up. I'd suggest buying a spare battery or staying near an outlet.

4) When I got this laptop it was 1000 w/ a 100 dollar rebate, its gone up a bit but its still a steal!

5) Most laptop companies give a 1 year hardware failure warranty. Asus gives a 2 year hardware and 1 year accidental damage. Oh and Asus laptops are much more reliable than HP/Dell/Gateway ones.

Cons:

1) Battery

2) No DVI output

3) Battery

4) Typical bloatware

5) Battery

Bottomline: Get it while you can!

Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 - Sempron 2.1 GHz - 15.6? -2 GB Ram Review

Customer Ratings:

While the listed $394 price tag is not that extreme, take that listed "$204 off" from a 599.99 base price with a grain of salt.

Overall the reliability record of Toshiba Satellite machines has been quite solid, ranking alongside Asus and Sony in as the best terms of malfunction rates despite some of the lowest prices, so taken from that aspect this is a great budget machine that won't get too hot or eat too much power.

That said, the price is somewhat in line with sale prices you can find of machines one step above this in terms of specs (dual core processor's with 3 gigs of RAM).

If you can find it for $329 or less and don't have needs much heavier than web-browsing/word processing/maybe playing (if you purchase a pair of speakers or at least headphones) than this could be the perfect machine for you.

At $394 however you can probably do better, and if you want to be able to play games a couple years old, use photoshop, mutlitask, etc. then you are probably best of looking for a machine just a touch more powerful than this.

I would suggest adding the extra 2GB of ram (comes with 2GB)and bring it to 4GB. The HD TruBrite screen is really nice....Crisp and clean. I purchased the system at Walmart for $278, a steal!

bought this laptop 6 month ago , it was running very slow from the start, after 3 month it would not load windows anymore, I called Toshiba CS and they agreed to send me a box to ship it to them to have it repaired, apparently it needed a new hard drive and it is a problem they know about ( why not recall them all and fix it?)if yours turns off all the time on its own you need a new hard drive, it took 10 days to get my laptop back, it was covered under warranty and free of charge but a huge inconvenienceI will not buy Toshiba again

ETA: Here we are 6 month later and out of warrantythe same hard drive failure as before,I was told "well you are out of the warranty we can change the drive but now you will have to pay around $250 for it" They will replace the THthe drive is barely 6 month old but the warranty for it was only 30 days!! After a lot of back and forth Toshiba will replace the drive free of charge again for which I am greatful but I am saving up for a new laptop!

ETA again:

I finally received my laptop backhard drive repaired but now the fan does not work!! After 2hours on the phone with several "Toshiba representatives". I have to send it in again so they "can get to the root of the problem". No telling how much longer this will takeToshiba never again!!

What makes the Alienware 18.4" laptop stand out among the rest is, well, it has a huge 18.4" screen and it's on a laptop! There's simply nothing else like it on the market and puts all of the other "desktop laptops" to shame!

So is that extra 1.1" worth it over a 17.3" laptop? Probably not, but it's also probably not worth it to buy an Alienware computer if you're looking for what's "worth" the money. Funny as it might sound I would rather dish out a little extra cash and get a computer that's absolutely top of the line than settling for a lesser competitor that packs more value per dollar. I know, I know, it seems luxurious but let me continue.

The Alienware design is unmatched in the industry. Some might argue that Apple has a better design with their aluminum cases and pretty simple designs, but I'd like to see them make something as powerful as this look any sleeker than it already does. The case is absolutely magnificent and the fans direct air in a logical and pleasing fashion that doesn't leave the CPU or GPU too hot but also doesn't make your ears bleed with deafening speeds. That 18.4" screen is more than just large too, it's absolutely picture perfect and leaves nothing to be desired. The keyboard I'll admit could be better but you're getting something really great in a lapt

Let's not forget about the gaming potential because that's probably why you're looking at something this monstrous. All I can say about the power is: Yeah, it'll do that.

Cheap Acer Aspire S3-951-6646 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

Customer Ratings:

I'm an IT professional and VERY picky when it comes to my laptop. I read the reviews on this and was mixed between the good and bad on here, so I decided to visit a Microsoft Store and check it out on my own. I immediately was amazed how thin and light this was just like a MacBook Air (which I used and had before). I compared this to the Samsung series 9 laptop and although yes I wish it had a non-glossy screen it still beats it in price tag and performance.

Pros:

-Laptop does not show any traces of fingerprints (which annoyed me with other laptops)

-Screen is very crisp and clear. Yes, its glossy but its a "comfortable glossy" like the macbook air

-Keys are very responsive and comfortable. You do have to press a bit more but I easily got used to it.

-The touchpad is the best I've ever used on any Windows laptop. Very smooth and responsive like a macbook.

-Great performance as it has the i5 processor

-Super fast bootup and screen on/off time

-Simple and basic in terms of ports (2) USB and HDMI which are positioned perfectly in the back. I see no need for laptops to have tons of ports on the sides and back adding bulk to it.

-For this price its a steal compared to what other manufacturers are charging.

Cons:

-The up/down/left/right keys are tiny, but eventually you get used to it

-Battery life is not as long as MacBook Air but its still descent for an ultrabook.

-Yes, its true that the click button below the touchpad you have to press very hard (mostly for a right click), however if you go into mouse settings and just enable "single tap" and set up "double tap" as a pop up menu, you will have no need to press down on pad at all. This has such amazing trackpad drivers that I can glide through pages and screens with no effort.

Overall, don't let the Acer name or price fool you, this laptop is a gem and best design, performance and feel I have ever seen outside of Apple. I bought mine from a Microsoft Store which has the Microsoft Signature service (basically they re-load the OS with no bloatware). If your in the market for a Windows 7 thin, fast and on the go laptop, this is the one for you!

I had this ultrabook for a week now and I can say it's amazing so far. It's thin, light, fast and comfortable. It looks good, it's quiet and cool (I mean temperature). Before I bought this I read all the reviews available online. I completely understand the reviewers have to criticize something but for me this computer works perfectly well. For example, many people say that the keys are too short. In my opinion the keys are comfy. The screen is not the best, but it's very good. This is not a gamer computer; it's for the ones that need to carry it from one place to the other. Taking into account its size and weight, I couldn't expect more from this machine. I come from a ThinkPad that is a heavy duty. I can see this computer is not as strong as the ThinkPad, but it's on a different league if you take into account the price you pay for one of the smallest computers available.

The Core i5 it's powerful enough for the tasks I perform (Web, Excel, Word, some Photoshop). The SSD for "instant on" works as magic. You open the computer and its right there asking for your password (if you setup one). Battery life seems to be good although I can imagine it will suffer in the long term as I'm not able to remove the battery when it's plugged in. On normal use (internet, mail, and few YouTube videos) you get between 4 and 5 hours. I haven't tried playing a movie yet, but I guess you'll get enough power to watch it all the way.

Best Deals for Acer Aspire S3-951-6646 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

So, I won this thing on the Acer A Day Give Away. (So I might be a little biased, cause they just gave me a free computer.)

I was sort of in the market for a new laptop, and I really was not looking for a ultrabook. I'm more of a big clunky machine with a big screen and all the bells and whistles type of guy.

Imagine my surprise when I got this thing and have found that I really, really like it. I don't have an issue with the noise, nor do I mind the lack of CD drive. I think the start up time is fast, and the laptop overall is a great little machine. It feels really sturdy to me, despite the light weight. I really like that it does not get hot... like, at all. I had it running on battery power for nearly 4 hours the other day, shut it off, and felt the underside. It was tepid.

I read reviews before I got the laptop that the keys were an issue. Some people complained about the keys not having the right amount of heft, which caused them to miss keys, or were unable to hit the arrow keys. Again, I like big things. Big keyboards included. That said. I don't have an issue, at all with the keyboard. I've not had any problems with the arrow keys. In fact, my only issue so far is that there are no dedicated function keys. There are function keys, but they're not dedicated (That is I'd like to have a volume control, playback controls for video, etc.)

I'm a big fan of the multitouch trackpad. I love that I can use gestures to make stuff happen. Took me a while to figure out how to use them correctly, but now that I have, I'm enjoying it. My only complaint is that you cannot create your own gestures, and can only use a predefined list of finger motions to trigger a predefined list of actions -at least, using the stock software (I do not know of alternate software at the moment).

Beyond that, it came with a lot of bloatware. Easily fixed, but a minor annoyance.

___________________

Edit: Exactly one year to the day after I received this thing, the trackpad stopped functioning properly and I cannot penetrate ACER's paywall to their warranty support. Absolutely no one has helped me with this. They're being very, very unhelpful and that has completely changed my opinion of this product.

I would not buy this computer again, nor would I have any future business dealings with ACER because of their (obviously) well timed product failures, and refusal to help their customers.

Honest reviews on Acer Aspire S3-951-6646 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

I bought the laptop for $799 on Amazon.com around Jan 2012. After it arrived, it worked OKAY. The track pad was not nearly as responsive as in a larger laptop, or in a MacBook Air, but no big deal. I can adjust to that, and I did. But there were significantly worse problems.

First problem Defective Wireless Card. (See also, e.g., the 2-star review by "The Inveterate Scofflaw 'J'"). On random occasions, perhaps once every one to three hours of use time, the wireless adapter just goes out. *POOF* No, it is not that I went out of network range, etc. Rather, the computer acts as if I had manually disabled the wireless, and there is nothing that can be done to bring it back. Rebooting will work, and I realized later that putting the computer to sleep, which takes much less time, will also cure the nuisance. So I have had to do that, usually once every several hours, randomly, whenever the wireless card craps out on me. This was not a big deal, as it usually takes no more than 10-15 seconds total to put the computer to sleep and wake it up. The quick sleep-awake response, to be fair, is a nice aspect of this computer.

Second problem Defective Hard Drive. (See also, e.g., the 1-star review by "frank"). About one month after getting this computer, I was using it on the train when all of the sudden I got a blue screen. Upon reboot, I keep getting an error message and windows will not boot. I google the error message, and learned that it was indicative of hard drive failure, and that other people whose laptops sustained a physical impact have had that message. My computer never fell. As a result of this, I shipped the computer in to Acer, and they ended up replacing the hard drive (just as I figured). So all my data was lost. Not a big deal, I only had it for a month, but still, but be warned!

My computer arrives in two weeks or so, and the invoice says that a new hard drive was installed. So far so good, but one day later, the computer starts doing clicking sounds randomly, and then I get a blue screen. Upon reboot, the clicking sounds (which are annoying an scary, think about fingernails on chalkboard) continue and I get an error message about have no boot drive.

Conclusion: This computer was a bad decision, and the problems discussed herein are likely a product of Acer trying to use sub-par technology in an ultra-thin laptop. MacBook Air laptops, for example, all have solid state drives -no disk drives. I think having an actual disk drive in such a thin computer is asking for trouble. Similar issues may have been with the poor contact between the wireless card and the mainboard.

At any rate, I am happy that Amazon.com has a very easy return policy for defective computers.

I usually do not write reviews, but felt what I read was not correct. This computer is great. The keyboard which some have said is bad is not the case. I had an Apple laptop and found it similar. The screen is great and I've got Slingbox which is TV internet and it looks great. The small buttons on the right get real!! no big deal. This things starts up before i blink!! The speed and connection are great!! I did a lot of research before buying and when I clicked send in the buying cart, I initiallly had remorse as I was wishing that I was being too cheap and a few hundred would have made my life complete. When i got the computer. What a great surprise. The top is great. As for plastic, it does not feel cheap, but smart in cost. Also, my Mac was hot on the bottom, this computer is cool on bottom. Not sure why but it is. The layout is great. The hinge is fine, no problem that I see that some reported. Love the keyboard, which the experts said was lacking. Still not sure what they are talking about. I can buy almost two of these computers for what the others are charging. No Brainer!! Buy it!! P.S. They came out with a new one that is $1400 with SDD and i7. Get the i5 not that big a difference to pay $700 extra.
