Now it is time to see the bigger 14 inch model which is...

Remember the first MacBook Air, the one Steve Jobs took out from a Manilla envelope? That was a few years ago and up until mid 2011 no other manufacturer has even come close to Apple in terms of thinness and lightness for a laptop. That's about to change as Intel has defined a few months ago the term "ultrabook"  which is meant to clarify consumers about a new laptop subcategory, very similar to the MacBook Air, the world's first and probably th...

In basic terms, one has to choose from two types of computers: notebook or tablet. The differences reside not only in the aspect (if laptops are the portable version of  PCs, tablets are computers based on touch technology), but the processor’s frequency is distinct (tablets dispose of 1 GHz processor’s frequency, while laptops could offer over 2 GHz and a considerably larger memory), so laptops allow you to use more complex applications. ...

When people are saying that today, the Internet is everywhere, they seldom stop to think whether Internet access is indeed geographically widespread. In truth, there are many cases one might find himself in, where Internet access is either very poor or non-existent, even in developed countries. In those cases buying air cards for laptops makes a lot of sense.As more and more applications are being moved into the cloud, companies need to find ...

One thing ASUS does well is getting the best price/performance/quality ratio on their mainstream laptops, and the ASUS N55SF is no different, being the successor of the N53SN multimedia laptop.

In this article we will speak of a top Vaio laptop, the SB model, a 13.3 inch portable addressed to the business segment, a premium laptop. We will have the opportunity to see if the Sony Vaio standard is still extremely high in 2011, as it remains in my memory back from 2003-2004.We have to say that the mo...

I know it’s not good practice to use superlatives when you write a review, but that’s what I feel about the Lenovo Thinkpad X220, a 12.5 inch ultraportable laptop which I like so much that I bought one for myself.Announced at the beginning of 2011, the Lenovo X220 started shipping in April, so it’s still a new device, one that will most likely be replaced by Lenovo only when Intel announces the third gen Core processors, probably someti...

Apple does some great computers, especially their all-in-one iMac line, but they have one major disadvantage: they're expensive, very expensive, which is a deterrent for many looking to buy one. That's why Apple just released an iMac for Education, the 21.5 inch model, which is basically a cheap iMac computer with lower than usual specs (some specs from last year's model) and a very user friendly $999 starting price.So what's the catch with A...

Asus is one of the producers that creates a lot of options for portables whether we are talking about netbooks or laptops. In the last period in the Eee PC brand Acer has stopped exclusively producing netbooks and also included models that would be better called small laptops.
