Review of Samsung QX410-J01 14in Notebook Aluminum

Customer Ratings:

Let me start by saying there are some drawbacks to this computer: No bluetooth, no blueray, i5 and not i7, and I don't love the touchpad, but...

There are some great features that I love on this laptop.

The multimedia functionality is quite good. The processing speeds for multiple high-demand applications running simultaneously are good. The keyboard is very comfortable and responsive which is huge for me because I type on it a lot. It has a great port configuration with HDMI and 2 of the 3 USBs under an easily accessible protective cover on the left, and 1 USB on the right very efficient for multiple devices. There is very little preloaded "factory" software to remove after purchase, in fact some of the samsung applications are quite handy (the backup for instance).

The aesthetics of this machine are great, it was half the price of the Macbook Pro with the same processing capabilities, it has the seperate dedicated video processing chip which is essential I think, and the battery life is double a comparable Sony or Toshiba (about 6.25 hours per charge -with an additional 3/4 of an hour after powering back on after first shut down).

One thing no one has mentioned is the overall thoughtful engineering. Not only is it very solid and comfortable, but there are a lot of little things that are well thought out. For instance the palm rest is slightly elevated above the keyboard so that when it closes the screen does not contact the keys. Seems like a small feature, but I enjoy watching my friend constantly cleaning finger oils off the screen of his $2,200 MacBook Pro. You can also charge USB devices from the laptop while not running, and the auto save features allow for great convenience (just shut the lid mid sentence and come back whenever to the exact same configuration you had going. This is very useful for me because I utilize multiple research programs and resources simultaneously while writing, and love being able to just slap the thing shut and resume at my convenience when others need my attention).

The portability, durability, screen resolution/quality, processing power (again the dual video processing is invaluable if you want to keep this thing for 5+ years like I intend to), and beauty of this computer combine to make it a very wonderful machine at a very economic price point.

This is a very sleek, stylish and well thought out computer that performs extremely well.

I am glad I trusted the Samsung name even though they are relatively new to the laptop space.

I have no idea if the 430 is of the same caliber as this 410 so I would recommend the 410. It's probably worth the extra $150!

I won't lie what first drew me to this laptop was its look. It is the essence of cool borrowing all the best parts from a host of other laptops and putting them together into the ultimate package. Ultra thin, light, and edge-to-edge glass = drool. But looks fade, right?

Well, so far, the QX410's brains match its looks. This laptop is fast and powerful. I've been editing HD video on here as well as mixing multiple tracks of audio. I have yet to make it slow down or stutter.

Last but not least, the battery. I routinely get 5-6 hours out of the battery and am very happy with that performance.

If someone forced me to say something negative I'd say that I wish the screen resolution were a bit higher it would help when I have an editing program open and a bunch of tool windows. Most times, this doesn't affect me.

Buy this laptop, you won't regret it.

I've had the QX410 about 3 weeks now. I really like it.

Pros:

Nice feel, nice keyboard action. Stiff hinge. Looks pretty, feels solid.

Built-in drive partitioning

Nice start-up and shut-down speed

Great battery life 5 to 6+ hours per charge

Very nice display love the edge-to-edge glass, brighter and easier to clean than standard LCD

Cons:

A lot heavier than it looks

The i5 processor is so-so for multimedia work better than most in its class, but bogs down a lot faster than the Lenovo Thinkpad R400 I use for work.

Hate the keyboard layout if you're an IBM person, you're going to screw up your screen dimensions whenever you reach for your control key. Yes, you adjust eventually, but it's frustrating.

Also don't much like the mouse buttons integrated into the mouse pad. I keep relocating the cursor with my sleeves. But again, you adjust eventually. It's not a big deal.

Overall, it looks and feels great. Good strong wireless, nice port set up (3 USBs and a HDMI) for a slimline, really good battery life even on full-light display. Great value for the money, and I'm happy with it. It'll handle 2-3 high-load operations at a time. But if you're looking for serious multimedia processing power, this may not be the one for you.

Honest reviews on Samsung QX410-J01 14in Notebook Aluminum

In order to provide an extensive review, I would have to wait some more time for such a review. However, my first impressions can (hopefully) suffice for now.

I purchased this laptop from Woot! back on May 21st and eagerly awaited its arrival, which occurred on June 1st. I've had it for about a week now, have toyed with it, and so far it is wonderful. I could rave and go on about the great things about it, but I will only give a few cons for right now.

As per the most helpful critical review, I've had no touchpad problems of that sort. However, I have noticed that at times the touchpad doesn't register the click immediately after typing, even with the Palm Guard option turned off. This is hardly a nuisance, however, since I use a wireless mouse most of the time.

The hard drive is 5400 rpm, so those who are used to 7200 rpm hard drives may notice some degradation in terms of performance or file transfers, but whether this is troublesome or not depends on the end user. In my case, it makes no difference.

The screen is a bit iffy. While the edge-to-edge glass is pretty nice, it is extremely reflective, which can be a nuisance on lower brightness settings. But hey, you don't have to worry about accidentally hitting your screen and having it damage the pixels inside. Also, the 14" screen is nice, but considering the extra space around the edges to match the width of the laptop, Samsung could have fit in a 15" screen just as easily.

The battery may be a problem in the future. It is not user-replaceable, so anyone who likes to remove it when not in use cannot do so. Since it lasts 1000 cycles, this may not immediately be a problem, so we will have to see once the first owners of this machine have held out for its lifetime (since it was released in Q4 2010, we have a while to wait).

The GPU is not very powerful, but it is a vast improvement over an integrated card, which this machine also comes paired with, allowing for extended battery life when not using visually intensive programs. I play Minecraft regularly, and the dedicated card is more than enough to run it super smoothly, surprisingly better than my other machine with a much more powerful GPU.

One thing to note, though, about the RAM in this machine is that 210 Mb of its 4 Gb are reserved for video memory for the integrated GPU, so only 3.79 of its 4 Gb of RAM are accessible. However, considering how well this machine performs, I have never run into any problems with this.

As a final thought, the pros FAR outweigh the cons, which are few and minor. The laptop in its entirety is GORGEOUS. Very high quality, solid build, light enough to carry around with you, very thin, and -my favorite part -very long-lasting. The claim for the battery in this machine is 7 hours. Well, I've clocked it in at 8:23 before, so I'm one happy camper. :)

The mouse on this laptop is VERY annoying! First it sticks, and then it runs around on it's own like crazy! There's a setting to change the 8 different things the mouse does. That's the problem...this mouse thinks it knows too much and doesn't want to always do what what you tell it to do. Other than that this is a REALLY nice laptop. Hope it helps to prevent someone for getting highly frustrated with the mouse.

Discount Lenovo Thinkpad X100E 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I have used this as my main work machine, doing office / productivity work, for about a month now. It is a great small laptop, especially for the price.

Build quality is superb. The X100e does not have a roll cage (i.e. internal metal skeleton) like some higher-priced X and T series Thinkpads, but you'd never know it, probably because the small size makes it largely unnecessary. The case is nice and stiff; the hinges are superb; and in general the build quality seems to be a cut above the T6x series, at least. However, I do miss the slightly rubbery paint from my other Thinkpads; this black matte paint is smoother. Still nice, but not as nice.

The keyboard is the best I've used on a laptop. It is superior to the ones on my T60 and T61, previously my favorites.

The touchpad is also superb.

I've disabled the camera, partly because I'll never use it and partly to save on battery life.

The screen is very nice and bright. In fact I have to turn it down from the brightest setting sometimes indoors, as it can hurt my eyes due to the extreme brightness. The resolution is just fine for doing research, writing, etc. After a quick period of adapting, the screens on my T6x series feel huge and overly tall by comparison. It is enough resolution to dock side-by-side windows and work with dual documents, barely.

I haven't had any problems with heat. I think this may be because I don't stress the video card much if at all. The bottom gets quite mildly warm under prolonged use.

Performance is just fine in my book. With 9 windows of Google Chrome open, two Word documents, one Notepad text file, Windows Media Player playing an HD movie, two Windows Explorer windows, Adobe Reader 9 opened to a large PDF file, TrueCrypt drive encryption running, AVG, and Warcraft III-RAM usage was around 1.2 gigs, and processor use hovered around 60-70%.

I am not a big gamer. Playing Warcraft III against my 4-year-old, though, at full res with all eye candy turned on runs smoothly.

Going further on the performance angle, the AMD MV-40 is often roughly compared with a Pentium M 1.6 GHz or thereabouts. That is probably pretty accurate, but my machine feels a bit faster than machines of that rough vintage, such as the T4x series. This is probably due to the SSD, faster RAM, faster better everything else etc. in the X100e. So you would essentially get a better-than-X41 performer in the X100e in my opinion, for a budget price. Not bad for doing productivity work at all, though it is no speed demon by today's standards.

I spent roughly $100 to upgrade to an X25-V SSD, which noticeably improved performance. After the upgrade, my Windows boot time is 25 seconds, shutdown time is under 10 seconds, sleep/standby mode time is 4 seconds, and resume from sleep/standby is 2 seconds. The 160 GB drive my machine came with went into an $8 enclosure and now serves backup duty.

Battery life easily goes beyond 5 hours for the type of work I do (before the SSD upgrade it was generally around 4:30). I have the processor set to max out at 60% in battery mode, and the screen is generally set to around 5-6 brightness, which is usually enough.

I still don't have Photoshop loaded on this machine. I think that's where the processor's shortcomings would be most noticeable, processorand ram-hungry applications like that. But this is not a slow machine IMHO.

I also don't think most people would need more than 2 GB of RAM, unless using something like Photoshop where they wanted better performance. Simple multitasking that most people would do probably wouldn't need more than 2 GB. Even with music running in the background, a slew of browser windows, etc. I just don't see how it could stack up to 4 GB. It seems to be an increasing practice to load a machine with 4 GB or even 8 GB of RAM, but I wonder how many eager buyers realize that the RAM they're buying will never be used.

Of course, I am running Windows in a minimal way. I guess some OS features could consume extra RAM, although I wouldn't know what they are. I tend not to like a lot of junk running in the background, unless it will actually help me run my programs or the machine.

The machine is very attractive and professional-looking. People constantly ogle it, and I've received many questions about it. I personally prefer the size to that of the X200 (the X100e is noticeably smaller).

The lack of an optical drive is definitely a negative for me. It makes it much mroe of a hassle to install things. If you don't already have an external drive, take this into account.

The lack of the Thinklight is also a downer. It is one of my favorite Thinkpad features, and I wonder why Lenovo couldn't have charged an extra 25 cents or whatever it costs for a single LED light and a bit of wire. I suspect it was intentionally left out to differentiate the X100e more from the X200.

Another really disappointing drawback, for me, is the tiny half-size media card reader. An SDHC card will only insert halfway, meaning I cannot have a built-in, always-ready backup device for my most important files. I understand the machine is tiny, but they still could have squeezed in an extra few millimeters for a bigger card reader. The card reader also has no documentation, apparently, meaning I have no idea if any of the formats it supports (which I cannot figure out) would fit completely inside the reader. I plan to follow up with technical support on this.

The ordering process was not so smooth. Lenovo customer service sent me an .xls file, telling me to update it and send it back them to start my service contract. Eventually they caved on this, after I griped. It just didn't seem fair to make people install Microsoft Office or similar program to get what they bought, and in any event I didn't have an office program installed at the time. The machine itself was back-ordered and took weeks to produce, and the status was seldom updated. The machine and accessories came piecemeal: first the extra power supply, followed weeks later by the machine, followed later by the neoprene sleeve.

However, I am really glad to be able to take advantage of Lenovo warranty service. I bought next-business-day support for three years. I have never been anything but impressed with IBM or Lenovo warranty service, and since this is my work machine I needed it.

All in all, this is my favorite notebook, ever. I would buy a Thinkpad netbook if they made one, but this is not a netbook. Netbooks are characterized by super-cheap price, excellent battery life, poor performance, and usually by poor ergonomics and durability. This machine offers perfect ergonomics, great durability, enterprise-class service options, middling battery life, and middling performance. I'm not bothered by the "netbook" name some apply to this machine, but I would not, could not do my everyday work on a netbook. This machine, I can.

The single biggest drawback, for me, is the battery life. But if I wanted longer than 5 hours of battery life, and wanted better performance and even better durability, I would have saved up for an X200 series. For what it is, this machine is perfect for me.

After having the computer for a week, I was about to toss it out the window it ran so slowly. I know this model isn't the same one you'll find on most review sites, since they removed a lot of the available "upgrades" to get the price down to $399, but they really shouldn't have skimped on the 2nd gb of RAM. I highly recommend this little guy, but only if you spend the additional $25 (that's how much I spent at Crucial.com) for 1gb of ram. I've never installed hardware on a laptop before, so I was a bit concerned about any traps the manufacturer may have laid, but it was super easy to remove the plate and snap in the gb!

Nice little netbook style laptop. Too slow without additional memory which I pumped up to 4 gig and needs bigger hard drive. Functions well though runs kinda warm as do most laptops so nothing unusual. I bought it mainly to have something to take on the road and this will meet my purposes. I like the small lightweight size. Who needs an IPAD.

Honest reviews on Lenovo Thinkpad X100E 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

I bought the Thinkpad X100E when my regular computer needed extensive work for some period. It's a bit slower (a good bit less memory), but it seems easier to use, and the keyboard is more comfortable. I don't miss my old Toshiba at all. I did have to get an accessory CD R/W unit, but it works well. One nit It requires re-entering the password after each time it goes into sleep mode, and I can't find a way to diasble that feature. And it runs slower if I don't clean out history, etc. daily. But, a great unit for it's size.

In the world of 11.6 inchers, those that are not quite laptops & not quite netbooks, the Lenovo

Thinkpad X100e stands head & shoulders above the competition.

I ordered the bare bones, matte black model, running 2 GB mem/ 160 HD.

It came standard with Windows 7 Home premium, Window's best operating system to date, which is also

leagues beyond Windows 7 starter (which is featured on just about all netbooks).

The screen is a non-glossy matte, yet it's absolutely gorgeous!

The screen is HD, backlit, and very bright & clear.

The machine itself is built like a tank: Solid, extremely durable, albeit a tad on the heavier side.

The keyboard is among the best i've ever used on any Laptop or netbook, for that matter.

If you like to write, or type, this is the portable machine for you!

I had read about problems with the unit running hot & a noisy HD or fan, but mine seemed to run cool & quiet, right out

of the box (mine was a Refurbished model in almost new condition).

When i ran multiple applications, it would run slightly warm, but nothing beyond that.

It streamed video (both HD & regular youtube) fine.

I downloaded a couple movies & video clips, all which looked great on the standard Windows media player.

Also of note are the speakers!

These are fairly loud & full sounding, compared to other laptops & netbooks.

For a small machine, it does put out a decent level of sound.

After a week of use, i can honestly say i love this machine.

For about fifty dollars more (or less, i got mine for $315.00), you can get a compact laptop that runs circles

around any netbook on the market, in both build & function.

The only minor thing to consider is, because of Lenovo's attention to quality & overall durability, this machine

is heavier than most netbooks & 11.6 laptops.

Buy Lenovo ThinkPad T510 4314DPU 15.6-Inch LED Notebook

Customer Ratings:

ThinkPad has a reputation for building a very rugged portable machine. I've had four of them and each one is quite a bit more technically advanced than the previous one. This one has the i7 chip as opposed to the i5. I honestly can't describe why one is better but this machine is noticeably much faster than any previous computer I've ever had. I do a lot of financial stuff and use eSignal software and VectorVest and TDAmeritrade programs, all on this computer, plus I have a large HP monitor. It handles it all plus e-mail junk, downloaded movies vis Netflix, and all the other stuff one does on a computer. This machine is simply very capable and fast. It runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit flawlessly. The case is simply black, square, is larger than most laptops (but alas, it does much more), is heavier than most, but again of all laptop computers I've seen and used, this one is hard to beat. The visuals are stunning when I use it as a portable. My next computer will have a solid state drive because lets face it, the weakest unit in a computer is the hard drive the mechanical stuff so any time you can do away with the least reliable part in a computer, you do it, right? I also have a MacBook Pro, and an iPad but Mac does not have the capability of running sophisticated financial software so the PC format was a must; this Lenovo T510 will make you sit up and take notice!

Toshiba 15.6" Satellite C655-S5225 Intel Laptop Review

Customer Ratings:

Hate it. The trackpad is rough, like cat's tongue, and the cursor does not move smoothly in drag-and-drop. Other laptops, even Toshiba models, offer smoother function. Try the Solitaire (which MSFT has messed up w/ over-design). Like most laptops now, the ports and CD/DVD drive are all on the sides. Add this space-destroyer to the additional width necessary for the numbers pad at the right (duplicating the numbers at the top of the keyboard) and you have little room for papers, binders, etc., and it's easy to dislodge, bump a device. I'm told that motel safes do not accommodate the 15" and over laptops. In addition, the keypad (esp. the trackpad) is off-center so it's easy to hit number keys instead of the key you want. I bought this item at Best Buy b/c $349.99 was such a good price for 4GB memory (not expandable), 320GB HDD. Amazon, Fry's and NewEgg give you 30 days to discover the kinks. Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot give only 14 days -NOT enough. What I learned: buy from shops w/ 30-day return policies.

I bought this computer from Best Buy in late October for my mother who does very limited and basic processing and computing. She likes to find stuff online and look for ads for garage sales, so she was not utilizing everything the computer can do. For christmas she asked for a Kindle Fire so she gave me the laptop as a trade-off. So far, I absolutely love this laptop. I should start off by saying that I don't mind that it is slightly larger than a lot of other laptops that are trying to be slim and lightweight. It is still light for the size of it but having the 15.6" screen is great when watching videos and movies on it. The processor is plenty fast enough for my computing needs, such as basic word processing and multiple online searching and web browsing. It downloads everything I need very quickly and runs movies and windows media player without a hiccup. Viewing 1080p or 720p movies or youtube vidoes is very smooth and look great on the screen! The graphics card doesn't skip and runs flawlessly as well. Again, I am not a huge processor hog and don't play to many video games on it, but I do watch plenty of youtube video's while searching the web and also try to stream football or hockey games using ESPN 3 or other websites and it runs those extremely well. The only real complaint is that it only has 2 USB 2.0 ports and no HDMI output. It does have a webcam for Skype etc., and the number pad on the far right hand side. I actually thought I would hate this part, and I did when first using the computer but when I had to fill in information on websites or for any type of accounting information, the number pad actually came in very handy. I really enjoy this computer for a basic laptop with good features for a basic to medium user. My girlfriends mother also got a Toshiba Satellite but it was a different version and it came as a glossy silver finish. A couple of notes on this difference. First, the mouse pad is harder to find because the glossy finish blends in with the finish of the mouse track pad so it is hard to know when your actually touching the pad or the computer case. Secondly, she has had some issues with the battery and the WI-FI connection cutting in and out. It is only on that specific version of the Satellite series but it was a major annoyance when the battery would cut out and you have it plugged in! It would also not properly connect to the internet via wi-fi so it would cut in and out because of the same battery issue. I have no issues with any of that on the S5225 version and the matt black finish is nice because you don't see every little fingerprint on the case. It is a great value for what I need and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality, but cheaply priced laptop.

Reviews of Nokia 10.1-Inch Booklet 3G (Black)

Customer Ratings:

Nokia Booklet 3G looks great and fashioned, little bit similar to Apple Macbooks Pro. It's nice to touch it, you'll feel the good quality of aluminum body. Everything seems good before you will turn on this netbook...

1. I don't know who was that crazy people who decided to use WINDOWS 7 on that device as a factory default!

It's TERRIBLY SLOW! Memory (RAM) is not upgradable and you have to be happy with 1Gb RAM ONLY!

I turned off all Windows 7 animations and other features. But even after that Nokia Booklet 3G can NOT play DVD/MPEG2 files without time delays. For what reason they placed HDMI out here? I can't use MPEG2 so it'll be absolutely impossible to use .MKV or other HD formats.

2. Display quality is very bad and absolutely not contrast. After Mac's, Nokia's dispay looks like faded, it's impossible to use it outside home at open sun you will see nothing! Use it only at night time outside home or in the car.

But I don't think it is a big problem. First was much bigger!

3. GPS works great with Google Earth after manual GPS receiver activation (you may google instructions). I don't like Nokia OVI and other Nokia software. Also you will not find preloaded maps here!

4. 3G workes great but I killed all Nokia and AT&T software because it was very unstable. What for I have to use it if Windows have all that software by the default? Don't use Nokia/AT&T software to connect to the internet! Lots of bugs there...

So. My conclusion is:

Nice outside, but horrible inside! The slowest netbook in the world!

Best Deals for Nokia 10.1-Inch Booklet 3G (Black)

I own a black Nokia Netbook which i bought for my wife to basically surf the internet. I bought it for almost half the list price when one of the stores had a great discount on. After using the netbook for a couple of months, here are my comments:

Pros:

1. sleek design-Aluminum uni-body construction comparable to apple computers

2. solid build-feels good in your hands unlike the cheap acer (which i also own!)

3. Battery Lifefantastic! Atleast 8 hrs between charges is what i get out of it.

4. Great Webcamhigh resolution and very good for chatting

5. Keyboardfeels good and has the spongy, cushy feedback

6. Internet connectivitygood network speeds

7. HDMI portgood to be able to connect it to you HDTV directly and play your home videos but the processor does not support playing HD Videos

8. DisplayHigh resolution (1280x720) 10.1" LCD display that works well even in a brightly lit sunroom

9. 3G-the SIM card slot comes built-into the device, so you have a choice to either use the 3G by inserting the SIM card into the slot or just use the netbook by itself without the SIM card. I dont use a sim card for 3G connectivity but it worked great when i tested it.

Cons:

1. Priceridiculous price. dont know what the folks at Espoo were thinking! Around $250 would have had this selling like hot cakes (Are'nt most netbooks in the market priced around that price??)

2. Processorslow. that makes multi-tasking a challenge

3. Ram1GB non-upgradable-Poor BUT if you pop in an SD Card in the slot, the machine automatically recognizes the free space and prompts to use the free space on the card as additional RAM. I usually pop-in an unused 2GB card in the slot when am not transferring photos and that really gives it a shot in the arm. This feature is a standard on all windows OS but you generally have to go to the control panel to set it up and it is set by default in the Nokia netbook-so thats a good thing

4. NO HD Video support-thats a bummer for such a fine piece of equipment.The processor is just too weak to handle HD videos. All you get is choppy videos! if only Nokia had used the newer dual core atom processors, it would have definitely given the competition a run for the money with HD Video support and built-in HDMI port

5. NO Ethernet PortI did'nt realize it till i went to a place where they did not have wireless internet and i wanted to connect this using the Ethernet cable and it was missing! I am sure the ethernet port would have fit in the dimensions of the netbook but it is missing!

Conclusion: This is a good product for the $250 I paid. It is good for surfing the internet and to watch SD movies on long haul flights without having to worry about charging the device frequently. It is handy enough that my wife can hold the baby in one hand and the netbook in the other when she is showing the baby off to the grandparents on skype! I take it to parties with me to show our pics to friends/family and have a good conversation. It fits well in my wife's handbag that we don't have to lug a laptop bag nor a charger around in those parties! Overall, this is better than my acer netbook for doing the simple things in life. It is no way a gaming machine nor a home media center substitute but is just fine for everyday tasks like browsing, facebook, email, twitter, video chatting etc.

I wanted to buy a new laptop because of a new expansion pack coming out for the Sims 3. My previous laptop was from 2007 and so it was obviously time to get a new laptop. For some reason I found myself drawn to this laptop. It met my computer specifications that I had on my search. Correct graphics card, fast, and light. I love this laptop! The graphics are extremely clear. There is nothing wrong with the sound. It sounds like sound would on any laptop. I don't use the track pad so I don't know how well it works or doesn't work. Colors are great. I only address these issues because people complained about them. I haven't had any problems with my laptop thus far. I'm very happy with my purchase! The reviews had made me a little weary but I took a risk and am happy with my gamble!

I bought this laptop mainly for the IPS monitor -I am a professional photographer and I needed a travel computer for when I cannot edit at home. I wanted a computer where my photos would not look completely different because we all know how unreliable editing on a laptop can be. I have owned this laptop for several months right now, and overall I am extremely happy. When you tilt the screen up and down, the color and brightness does not change one bit, which is fabulous for editing. I love the multi-touch trackpad -I can't go back to using older trackpads after this laptop. This laptop is lightning fast, sleek and thin, and has a quality display that can't be beat. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've owned this laptop for more than a year and even now it's hard to find such a well built and lightweight one.The matte-screen is absolutely stunning crisp and clear (1920 x 1080). 2 months after I bought it, replaced the hard drive with a solid state 256gb OCZ Octane, installed customized bios that boost the Nvidia 640M LE performance by almost 50%. I was able to play Battlefield 2 and other 3d intensive games in full hd without any issues! The keyboard is very well built and perfect for typing. On the third month replaced Win 7 with Windows 8. There were some missing drivers in the beginning but Sony quickly released the drivers for the new OS. Later on Synaptics released their touchpad driver with all swiping gestures for Windows 8 great stuff(no need for touch screen :)) The battery life is about 3 1/2 4 hours on average (with SSD!!!).

Almost forgot to mention the Magnesium Alloy used in this model. The material is lightweight, very sturdy, and after more than a year of daily use, there are no noticeable scratches!!

The sound quality is mediocre; great HD cam; backlit keyboard; Stamina Speed button (great for controlling the performance when needed); USB 3.0 which can charge usb device (cell phone) even when the laptop is off.

One of the greatest features design-wise is the location of the exhaust fan. It's right in the middle of the laptop, which allows prolonged lap-typing without any discomfort (very quiet as well).

Overall great laptop!!!

Honest reviews on Sony VAIO S Series SVS15113FXS 15.5-Inch Laptop (Silver)

The computer I received was in excellent working condition. Set up was quick and straight forward.

However, I'm a little old school when it comes to the mouse function. The on board mouse (track pad) is nice with it multi-function, however when typing it becomes an issue as my palms depress the pad at times and the cursor jumps. Additionally track pad is not centered on keyboard, so my hands do not go to home keys automatically. I'm always having to adjust my position to the home keys. Been a couple of months and still having to adjust. I ended up turning it off to eliminate the problem. It's quick to boot, but then again it's new, so maybe you'll want to check back in a year or two.

Pro's

Fast boot, nice screen, easy to set up.

Very light a real plus.

Con's

Track pad not centered on home keys.

Pressure from palms activate track pad, and cursor jumps. (Had to turn track pad off to get around this)

Fingers do not automatically go to home keys even after months of use.

USB ports interfere with mouse operation. But, this seems to be a problem with most laptops these days.

Would I recommend it to a friend? That is the question!

Review of Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 Series 09143NU 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

Customer Ratings:

Well for one its nice to see that as i sit here and type this review on the computer itself, Lenovo have ditched the old looking IBM thinkpad method and made the modern mac book look stylish and great. This computer is great, oddly enough i got it at office depot, the regular price was 679$ and they are running a special on it now for 499$, yep you heard right. This will only last till 1/15/11 though, get it. I purchased a Toshiba(which i like) but it had the cruddy old AMD turion(which i hate) processor and was slow as a 80 year old woman climbing out of the bath tub. I didnt even realize they had the Toshiba(let alone this) until i actually saw it on the website. So after being disappointed with the Toshiba and its lack luster performance, i saw this on there as well. So i ran back and said hey you don't even have this out yet, so for the price i want it instead, no problem. Also the Toshiba was 549$ with tax! So see it pays to shop around.

I opened this up not knowing what to expect since i couldnt tell much from the picture on the web. Well i was so pleased to see if was the Macbook/Sony silver metallic look with the separated chicklet type keyboard. Also you can't get a better deal for an I3, and this is the 380m running at 2.53ghz. It rates at 6.8 for windows calculations. Thats nearly as much as my gaming desktop with the Core 2 quad running at 2.67ghz which rates at 7.2. Can't beat that. So i'm still in the early stages but i can say already i'm very fond of this, and this keyboard is amazing, especially since i type overly fast. The speakers are loud and crisp, software for burning is good, web cam look great, also i like the way you can set up for it to recognize you through just your image or a message. Pretty cool. This thing is fast as lighting also which is the big seller for me. So time will tell if ole Lenovo(which bought IBM years ago) will stand the test of time. Lets hope its bark is just as bad as its bite and it holds on for many years. Wish me luck, and go pick one up for yourself!

First off, the construction quality is great: the rigidity of the handrest and keyboard areas is comparable to a macbook. Additionally, the keyboard is delicious. The keys are much smaller than the ones I'm used to from my iMac, and are much more comfortable, so I've found I can type faster and for longer periods of time, once you get used to them. The touch-sensitive shortcuts above the keyboard are useful if you are watching movies and want to change the screen settings, want to change speed/battery life settings, or are working around sleeping people and want to keep the fan speed down. The function key shortcuts are also useful if you want to shut off the backlight or connect to a TV or projector. The graphics are decent, playing counterstrike was no issue, and modeling in sketchup and blender was smooth, but that is the extent of my use for it.

Now the bad: coming from a mac, I expected the screen brightness and volume controls to be easier to use (they are function keys on my old computers), but you have to use the Fn key and the arrow keys. The screen's aspect ratio is nice for watching movies or hulu, but frustrating to word process or web surf until you get used to scrolling often (again, used to my 15.6" powerbook's ratio). By far the worst piece of hardware is the trackpad: it is abrasive and will randomly select text. The buttons are recessed and difficult to use compared to, say, a Toshiba (or macbook), I suggest buying a trackball or mouse.

Also, contrary to an earlier review, there are 3 USB ports (one is integrated in the eSATA port).

Be Sure of the specs. This one does not have the ATI graphics as mentioned. It comes with Integrated graphics only. Laptop is fast but the screen is not very sharp. Webcam is only 0.3MP so can not expect much from it. Speakers are average or may be a notch below. If you are looking for an all purpose machine, you may have better options available for the price. Overall, this laptop is passable at best.

All I can say is WOW! I got this laptop while it was on sale from tigerdirect for $469.99. All I can say is I was expecting some sort of budget laptop for that price, but I ended up with something that feels like a Mac and runs Linux and Windows at crazy speeds. The keyboard is great once you are used to it, the touchpad is a little small and the buttons have a little give to them but those are the only bad traits I can think of. I usually use a wireless mouse, so even that has no effect on me. I usually use the laptop as a desk station to work on 3d imaging, email correspondence, occasional gaming and that sort of thing, Blender runs really well. CoD: MW1 runs great on the lower graphics settings (I was getting 25+ fps even without a dedicated graphics card)I have it hooked up to a 22 inch monitor, and it is running 1680x1024 graphics on that without showing a spike in either RAM or CPU usage. All I can say is I love it. I would suggest it as a perfect buy for anyone looking for a high quality laptop that will preform most tasks well.

Discount ASUS UL20FT-A1 12.1-Inch Laptop (Silver)

Customer Ratings:

I bought this computer mainly for school, researching and writing my papers and bringing it to class with me in college. I had been considering the similarly dual core 12.1" asus netbook, the 1215N. But on further examination and review, the UL20ft has a better and faster processor and overall style. (the graphics on the 1215N would be better for gaming, but I don't mind, the UL20ft supports HD pretty damn well)

It's extremely well reviewed, all over the nets:

"UL20FT way better processor so snappier experience in everyday tasks, but poorer graphics (will handle HD content but not games). 1215N is better in terms of graphics and way cheaper. UL20FT is better built and more solid."

I love how small it is. Super light and portable.

I bought this laptop in October 2010 as an upgrade from my bulky Gateway laptop. It is so light and portable, I brought it to my college classes with ease. I get lots of compliments on this laptop and I haven't had any problems with it. I use it everyday for checking emails, doing homework, shopping online, and watching videos on youtube and netflix. The hdmi plug-in allows me to view movies on my hd tv.

I bought this laptop a few months ago and was looking for one with a long battery life and light weight. I had planned on buying a lenovo, but couldn't because I needed the laptop to arrive quickly (my old one had crashed) and lenovo would take 2 weeks.

Anyway, the suggestion that the battery can last up to 8 hours is a lie. Even if you set the screen brightness to zero and limit the maximum power to 20%, the best I could get was 6 hours. However, even this didn't last. The laptop is now only a few months old and the maximum battery length is 4 hours. Consequently, I need to carry the power cord with me, which adds to the overall weight of the laptop. I could have saved a lot of money by buying a larger laptop (which are much cheaper), given the added weight of the power cord. I know several people with Dells and Lenovos who have laptops that last 7+ hours with actual usage (while running large programs).

I have mixed feelings on the customer service. While they do not put you through a long battery of diagnostics (which is nice), the only options they gave me were to do a factory reset or to send my computer back to their service center, which would mean 2 weeks with out my laptop (not convenient). On the plus side, I had very little wait time to speak with someone and their customer service representatives spoke English very well (which is not the case for Lenovo customer service representatives). In fact, if you call during business hours, the representative will likely be based in North America, during early morning hours (2am EST) it seems their tech support is foreign, but as I said the representatives English was perfect.

*************************UPDATE************************

I eventually sent the laptop to the tech support. It was under warranty, but I had to pay for shipping and purchase an appropriate shipping box (all other companies I have dealt with in the past have provided the box so that it would be properly packaged and paid for shipping). The freezing issue was fixed -they replaced the hard drive, updated bios and restored to factory settings. However, they didn't install any of the windows updates that have come out since Windows 7 was installed, so I had about 3 days worth of updates that needed to be installed. Furthermore, the windows installer would not work so I was unable to install anything that required this (such as Skype and itunes).

Once again I called the tech support and they offered the same 2 options: reinstall windows or mail in the laptop. I find it hard to believe that there aren't any other possible solutions, but they wouldn't even try to work through the problem.

This is the most disappointing purchase I have ever made. I do not recommend purchasing anything from this company.

Honest reviews on ASUS UL20FT-A1 12.1-Inch Laptop (Silver)

I bought this little laptop back in January for school. It was a replacement for an Asus Eee 1000 with a dead WiFi radio. I was hesitant to buy another Asus product, but the price and size were right, so I went ahead. This laptop lasted me about 9 months before the graphics card went out on me. I treated both laptops exceedingly well and they both malfunctioned overnight (as in they were fine the night before and then didn't work in the morning). The laptop is out for warranty repair now; it was received by Asus this past Friday and I am now waiting to hear the verdict. I would have rated it at 5 stars if it hadn't malfunctioned. As it stands I am giving this laptop 2 stars, because it worked well while it was functioning. I am reserving the final star for Asus: if they repair the laptop under warranty, I will add one; if they don't I will remove one. Unfortunately, this will more than likely be the last Asus product I will ever buy. One failure is an isolated incident, two failures shows poor quality control. If a company cannot produce a working product, then it does not deserve my patronage.

***UPDATE 10/28/11***

So i got my computer back. They had to replace my entire monitor and then decided to replace the HD for the heck of it. The issue is that the HD and software now has some kind of virus and I can't install any anti-virus to get rid of it. I am now going to have to waste half a day reinstalling Windows 7, and did I mention I have a lab due this evening? ASUS is HORRIBLE! Steer clear!

***UPDATE #2 10/28/11***

The WIFI on the laptop just died and the machine has been "shutting down" for 8 minutes now. This is after returning it to a factory state. WORST_MACHINE_I_HAVE _EVER_OWNED!

If you think you'll ever need customer service Don't buy an Asus. I had to replace my laptop 3 times over the course of the last 2 months and each time I contacted Asus customer service I was amazed by how bad they are.

The first 2 laptops that I got from Amazon (Asus20FT) started freezing about 3 hours after I started working with them. They would freeze about 10 times a day and needed force restart. The first time I called Asus I had to wait on the line for an hour (!) just to get a very unprofessional rep. . He immediately concluded that the bios needs an upgrade (and of course the bios had the latest version he just didn't check that).

After trying to call them back and waiting on the line for an hour, I gave up and emailed them with a complaint. For 3 weeks they couldn't call me because I was out of the US (The laptop has a colorful sticker that says "global support"). Then, again without to much diagnosis, they concluded that the laptop's hardware needs to be tested in their labs and I should sent the laptop over. They do not give a replacement during for that period so after almost 2 months of reseting the laptop 10 times a day, and installing the laptop again and again, they expect the customer to be without a laptop for another week.I wasted so much time during these two months.

I turned to Amazon at that stage and their customer service was amazing. They sent me a new laptop before I sent them the malfunction one back. The service was kind and thoughtful.

The product itself is rather light and works well now. The 2 main setbacks:

1. They still have some issue with writing to the disk and sometimes the laptop freezes for a second or two.

2. The battery doesn't last for more than 3 hours

Discount Acer Aspire V5-571P-6815 15-Inch LED Touch Screen Laptop (Core

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this as a replacement for an AMD Athon X2 5600 desktop with 4 gb of ram. I was having trouble with windows 8 64 bit programs going into "not responding" mode due to system bottlenecks. I do graphic design and use the Adobe Creative suite extensively. I use the laptop mostly on my desk connected to an external 1920 x 1080 hd monitor and wireless keyboard and it works well. I may need to increase the ram to 8gb from 6 gb as I am still having the "program not responding" issues despite the faster processor. It appears that a lot of other people have the same problems with Windows 8, so I cant fault the laptop. I really like the touch screen, it really is very intuitive and you adapt to it very quickly.

This is my first laptop and it has successfully replaced my desktop pc. I purchased this a a refurbished unit but the laptop looks great with no obvious imperfections. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Few highlights:

Excellent price

Solid performance for running day to day applications and web surfing

Very few bloatware

Good looking screen

Fairly good speakers for a laptop

Stylish looking laptop and not too bulky for the screen size

Minor note:

I sometimes find it difficult using the touchpad mouse in this laptop compared to other ones. I haven't figured out the exact cause but mouse pointer sometimes gets stuck while dragging it along and I have hard time getting it back to move.

Customer Ratings:

This is a phenomenal laptop. I have had it for two months now and have only noticed one quirk and I believe that to be software related. As for the first negative review I am somewhat surprised as mine came with the reinstall DVD and the option of either having Vista 64 or 32 bit. There are some things on the partition but it is just the usual bloatware that you get on most retail PCs. I just formatted over it and use the extra HDD space. The only thing I wanted from it was the Lableflash software and you can easily get that online at various locations for free. All in all this is a great laptop with tons of features. One of my favorite things is that it has two HDD bays and unlike many other manufactures which would fill both with smaller drives to total the 320 gigs Gateway left the one slot empty for those who would wish to upgrade. From everything that I read they have done the same things for their processor and graphics card. Both can be removed and replaced. That was my one concern when purchasing this Laptop was the underpowered processor. However again that is easily replaced according to everything I read. In the end this is a highly upgradable laptop with a sweet case design and cost $800 less than the equivalent HP or Dell. I have not dealt with customer service but then again I am a geek and usually do all the repairs myself any way.

P.S. Just for those that are curious about the HDMI and whether you can run the sound through it, yes you can. That was one of the question I could not find answered online.

I had to review this product after reading the other review. I have not had encounters with Gateway customer support, but the laptop itself it great. Just be careful where you buy it from. I purchased mine from Bestbuy and had the opportunity to return it for any reason within 2 weeks. I highly recommend this laptop for anyone that plays games or just wants to use it for basic computing.

I purchased this laptop about a month ago. My husband and I had looked around for a year or so before making our purchase. When we saw this particular one, we were suprised at the price. We paid $749 for it, and could not be happier. You cannot get another laptop that even slightly compares to the spec's this one has in its price range. It has run everything at exeptionally high frame rates.

The battery life is not wonderful, but we have the cable and an adapter for our vehicle. So that problem does not concern us. It also gets a little hot, but I've not run across a laptop that doesn't. Just make sure you have a cooling pad to prevent your lap from burning.

I have owned this laptop since it first came out in 2008 and have always loved it. I am still using it and it is still going strong. It is rather large and heavy to call it a laptop though! I had to buy a 22" laptop bag to carry it. I use this more like a desktop for this reason but it is great to take when traveling. The graphics and speed are still up to date even for the newer 3D games coming out and I use it for movies as well. The HDMI connection is great as well as all of it's other connections. (to many to list sorry) It even has laser labeling for DVD/CD. I bought this so it would stay ahead of anything new coming and it is still in the running with the newer machines coming out. Since you can only buy this used and if you are looking for lots of multimedia power/gaming power you get a lot of bang for your bucks buying this one which used to cost close to $2,000.00. Can run 32bit or 64bit and so much more. I love my computer.

Honest reviews on Gateway P-6860FX Laptop w/ Core 2 Duo Processor, 4GB RAM, 320 GB

I have owned this laptop for about three years. There are some down sides to it, but overall, if you care for it, it's a really good computer. The most inconvenient thing is probably the weight. This is a large (17" screen), and heavy computer for a laptop. It is portable, but portability is limited by its weight. It can overheat very quickly, so this is not a computer you want to have sitting on your bed. Purchase an inexpensive laptop pad and there is no problem with overheating. Finally, if you leave this computer plugged in for extended periods, you can kill the battery (this is the case with pretty much any rechargeable battery). If you don't plan on carrying the computer back and forth a lot, you keep the computer on a solid surface so air can flow freely under and around it, and you don't leave it constantly plugged into the wall, this computer will last you for years. Just remembered one more negative, the color of the keys make it very difficult to see in low light. I can type by touch, so it's not a huge problem for me, but if you need to see the keys, it can be an issue.

Some of the really good things about this computer is the processing speed. This is designed as a gaming computer, so it can render graphics very well and very quickly. This translates into not only a good gaming environment, but an excellent platform for watching movies. The speakers are very loud compared to other laptops I have owned, and paired with the 17" screen, allow for an very good movie watching experience via DVD or over the internet. There is plenty of processor speed to multi task and have a movie playing in the background while you do other things (like surf the web, type a paper, etc.).

One of my kids got to my computer and pulled most of the keys out, and the keys on this computer are not easy to replace once removed (but they are very difficult to remove in the first place). Along with that and the battery being practically dead, I figure it would cost less to just buy another one and switch the hard drive than it would be to repair the one I have, so I'm looking into purchasing a new laptop now.

It's not touch screen with Windows 8, but for the price it's hard to argue against the hardware it has under the hood. Yes, 2013 smartphones will soon be as powerful as this laptop, but for normal use (student, business, general home use, NOT gaming) this laptop is great.

The only nitpick I have on the laptop is no hard switch to disable the touchpad, though it has function keys to do so.

Well done, Samsung.
