HP Pavilion g4 Low price Good Performance

A major factor contributing to the G4's low price is its use of AMD's affordable new 1.9GHz A4-3300M processor. You also get 4GB of DDR3 memory, 512MB of which goes to the integrated Radeon HD 6480G graphics; a 5400-rpm, 320GB Hitachi hard drive; and a DVD burner. The unit weighs 4.5 pounds, meaning that it's easy enough to carry though perhaps not truly svelte. Battery life is an acceptable 4 hours, 13 minutes at the laptop's default power settings.

The G4 earned a score of only 77 on PCWorld's WorldBench 6 test suite, but subjectively the unit feels quite sprightly. If you don't mind reducing your display to a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels, the system can deliver playable gaming frame rates in the low 30s. Video--even high-bit-rate 1080p--played smoothly, and sound came through the speakers loud and clear. The audio lacked bass of course, but only laptops equipped with integrated subwoofers can deliver that. The display is bright and clear, but the viewing angle is only moderately wide.

For the money, you might expect to encounter compromised input ergonomics, but I found that the Chiclet-style keyboard felt quite crisp, despite being short-stroke. Though the keys are not sculpted, small braille-like ticks on the F and J keys help you properly place your hands while keeping your eyes trained on the screen.

HP Unveils 3115m Netbook

HP 3115m Netbook
The HP 3115m is identical to the Pavilion dm1z (E-450) with which PCMag had some "hands on" time a few months earlier. It has the same rubber finish printed over the plastic frame on the lid, base, and interior—except for the frame surrounding the display, which is made of glossy plastic. The texture feels nice, especially when resting your wrists on the palm rest to type.
HP 3115m Netbook
The HP 3115m retains its 11.6-inch wide screen that displays in 720p HD, as well as its full-size chiclet keyboard, which was rated one of the best-in-class by our leading laptop analyst Cisco Cheng. The touchpad and two separate mouse buttons are still there from the last iteration. The entire system, according to HP, weighs 3.52 pounds and measures 1-inch thick.

Acer Aspire S3-951

Acer Aspire S3-951
The Aspire S3 ships with a 1.6GHz Intel Core-i5 2467M low-voltage CPU that clocks in at 1.6GHz and offers a maximum Turbo setting of 2.3GHz. The laptop has 4GB of total system memory, but 0.15GB of that goes to the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics. The 2467M CPU, with its 3MB of L3 cache, probably contributed to the model's middling WorldBench 6 score of 97. Battery life was a bit low for an ultraportable laptop, too, at just under 5 hours (the average for the category is around 6.5 hours).
Acer Aspire S3-951
Owing to Acer's use of integrated graphics, the Aspire S3 is no gaming powerhouse either. You can play some games at limited resolutions and detail settings, but serious gaming is best left to other systems.

The display has an average, 1366-by-768-pixel native resolution. When I sat in the sweet spot, the screen looked bright and colorful. Still photos looked good and HD content streamed over the local area network smoothly. However, streaming Netflix HD content looked even softer than it usually does. In addition, the LCD panel's range of angles for high-quality viewing is rather restricted, with noticeable color and contrast shifts at minor displacements from dead center.

Audio is another weak point. Even with the supplied Dolby Home Theater activated, stereo imaging was vague and seemed to wander from one side to another. Bass was utterly lacking, and volume levels were so low that I kept checking system volume levels and Windows Media Player volume controls to make sure that their levels were maxed out. You'll definitely want headphones for any serious audio work.
Acer Aspire S3-951

The Aspire S3 is deficient in ports and network connectivity, in part because of design constraints common to all Ultrabooks. On the rear are a pair of USB 2.0 ports and an HDMI connector. A lone audio jack appears on the left, and an SD Card slot on the right. There are no USB 3.0 ports. Admittedly, that array is only slightly worse than what you'd get with a MacBook Air, but the Air has a high-speed Thunderbolt port than can serve as both an I/O and a digital monitor connection.
Acer Aspire S3-951
Also like the MacBook Air, the Aspire S3 lacks an ethernet jack; the only connectivity is through 802.11n Wi-Fi. And unlike the Air and most other Ultrabooks, Acer's model lacks Bluetooth support.

Apple MacBook Pro (15-Inch, Fall 2011 Version)

Apple MacBook Pro
the latest MacBook Pro isn't a landmark revamp of the line, by any means. All told, the understated improvements match the understated announcement. The 13-inch version of the machine simply got a slightly faster processor than the early-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro had, jumping from a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 to a 2.4GHz one. (Both are dual-core chips.)

Apple MacBook Pro (13-Inch, 2011 Version) closed
The $1,799 15-inch base model, which we reviewed here, gets a slightly more impressive bump. This MacBook goes from a 2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor to a 2.2GHz quad-core Core i7, and it gets an excellent improvement in graphics, from a single AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphics chip to a switchable-graphics arrangement. The late-2011 model is powered by both the Intel HD Graphics 3000 circuitry that's built into the processor chip and separate AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, backed by 512MB of onboard video memory.

HP’s answer to the MacBook Air : HP Folio

HP Folio
The company is one of the latest PC firms to launch an “Ultrabook” — a name chipmaker Intel gave to the new super-thin laptops that use its processors — but this time, it’s targeting the business user.
HP Folio
The launch must come as a relief to the Silicon Valley company’s PC unit employees, suspended as they were in limbo for over a month as HP considered whether to jettison the division or not. HP decided only late last month to keep the leading seller of PCs within its fold.
HP Folio

The Folio13 starts at 3.3 lbs, has a battery life up to 9 hours and includes a backlit keyboard, a popular feature on the MacBook Air.

Starting at $899, it’s $100 cheaper than Apple’s laptop. Rival Acer also is selling its latest Ultrabook for $899.

The laptop is slightly heavier than Apple’s, however, and few think that the company would be able to dislodge the Cupertino company in that category.

HP unleashes Envy 15 and 17 Laptops with Beats Audio tech

HP Envy

HP has unveiled two new stylish Windows 7 laptops for the music fiend out there – the Envy 15 and 17.

The two new models are redesigns of the current Envy laptop range, redesigned and improved for 2011 and 2012.

The first thing that will probably strike you about the new Envy laptops is their similarities with Apple’s Macbook Pro range. In our eyes, the laptops look almost too similar, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Apple files yet another lawsuit for this. Nevertheless, these are some powerful and very sleek looking notebooks for those who prefer Windows to Mac and have a budget in mind.

Buy an HP Laptop at Wal-Mart, Get a TouchPad for $149

The comeback continues, with Wal-Mart joining Best Buy in offering the hot tablet with purchase of a qualifying laptop. If you’re a developer, HP will let you pick up two of those 32GB TouchPads for $150 each..

Buy an HP Laptop at Wal-Mart, Get a TouchPad for $149

It seems despite discontinuing production of WebOS devices, Hewlett-Packard still is interested in the success of the WebOS platform and growth of WebOS apps -- which is great news indeed for all TouchPad owners. The TouchPad Device Purchase Program requires registered developers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe to request coupons for the discounted tablets by November 18. Coupons are valid through November 27 or while supplies last (HP emphasizes those last three words).

Not a developer? You may still be able to snag a $149 TouchPad from Wal-Mart. Similar to Best Buy’s TouchPad offer, you’ll need to also buy a computer to qualify, however. Best Buy’s promotion is more flexible than Wal-Mart’s; at Best Buy qualifying PCs include Compaq models, desktop computers, and all-in-ones. At Wal-Mart, you’ll need to choose from eleven HP laptops.

However, unlike the Best Buy offer, online ordering is possible at Wal-Mart.com, so you don’t have to suffer going to a Wal-Mart store to pick up your laptop and TouchPad bundle. And the 99 cents you save on the TouchPad compared to Best Buy’s $149.99 price will be enough to cover Wal-Mart’s 97-cent shipping fee.

A Beautiful Apple Mac Mini Laptop


All of Apples products are beautifully designed and thelittle known Apple Mac Mini is no exception. The size of a child’s lunch box,the Mac Mini is a neat silver cased CPU with the logo of the Mac embossed on top.



I have been tired of my bulky cranky CPU for a View next photo while now andwas simply bidding my time when I needed an overhaul. I got my excuse to switchover to the sleek, better quality Apple Mac Mini, when my computer stoppedworking one day (sorry I didn’t wait to find out why, it was just an old wreck J).

One of the prime reasons I bought the Apple Mac Mini was forits price, which is much less than any of Apples desktops or laptops. Eventhough the Mac Mini is tiny, it is still a power packed performer, I now have agreat OS that does not hang each time multiple software’s are opened, itprovides me great speed, great clarity of image and of course the much neededstorage space. Since Macs attract less viruses that is one less thing to botherabout.

Since I’ve bought the Apple Mac Mini I’ve had nothing tocrib. It saves me lots of space and has reduced the ugly jumble of wires. MyMac Mini even confused some of my guests who wondered how my monitor was workingand were simply shocked when I showed them the CPU that can be carried aroundin a handbag!. Which brings me to another benefit of the Mac Mini. Thanks toits size the Mac Mini can be easily carried around and all you need to do isplug it into a monitor, keyboard and mouse to get it running. Additionally itis known as the world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.

The Apple Mac Mini has a slim slot for the CD on one sideand 5 USB ports, I firewire port, 1 large port for the monitor, 1 slot of thepower cord, a port for the modem and a jack for the earphones.

Inside my beautifully appealing Mac Mini is an Intel Core 2Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor, 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM,320GB hard disk, Mac OS X Leopard and a built in Bluetooth capability

The Mac mini comes with a 90 day free telephone support anda one-year limited warranty, however I have purchased the AppleCare ProtectionPlan which provides me with direct telephone support from Apple technicalexperts and the assurance that repairs will be handled by Apple-authorizedtechnicians using genuine Apple parts.

The Apple Mac Mini has brought me so much value wonder why it’snot more common in India.

Interestingly I recently learnt that Apple India is giving Student Discounts on all the computers for details you can call 1800 425 4646. Wish I was a student :(

Carry Your Laptop in Smarter Way

The laptops are an excellent investment. They provide an easier way to work and play. Keeping this notebook in tiptop shape would be important for you too. Here's what you should look for in choosing a great notebook bag or case. Laptops were made for convenience. With the advent of this technology, people were able to work anytime and anywhere they feel like it, thanks to the invention of laptops.

Laptops may come in different styles and sizes. Some laptops are small and light unique to those working on the go. While other laptops are more conventional, slightly larger and heavier, which work perfectly well for those who want to file and save as much work as possible and still be able to enjoy other activities such as games in the same device.

Previously, people settled for ordinary notebook bags, and gadgets that usually comes with it. Others have even used their backpacks and bags for carrying their laptops and their other properties. It's time to stop this habit.

Carrying your laptop in inappropriate containers can be harmful to your laptop, not to mention the fact that space in your bag. To get the most out of your laptop in terms of function and warranty, you must first choose the appropriate laptop bag that meets your needs change.

There are various factors must be sought in a large laptop bag. This notebook bag should be able to ensure your safety laptop, this is the first and most crucial factors. If your bag does not have the ability to protect your laptop, it's as if you do not recover the money you've invested. Keep your laptop for as long as you want by keeping it safe and protected! A great laptop bag should always have a safety strap to keep the laptop in place. A second factor that a great laptop bag is a must have enough storage space. In storage, it is the space for all your other personal effects aside from your laptop, of course.


Tips For Buying Your New Laptop

what do you need the laptop for?

Do you need a lightweight portable laptop for business
trips or meetings? Do you need a student notebook for
classes? Or do just want a desktop replacement computer
that you can easily move around in your home?

Your answer will greatly determine which type of laptop
you should buy.

In my case, I needed a desktop replacement that I could
easily move around my home and take on very infrequent
trips or vacations. Long battery life was not a major
consideration because I would mainly be using it plugged
into an electrical outlet. Besides, the laptop I wanted
would be 7 or 8 pounds and I had no intentions of lugging
that baby around over any great distance.

I work full time at home and do a lot of web design so
I needed a solid machine with a lot of RAM. I also enjoy
downloading and enjoying the occasional movie so a DVD
Multi Drive and a wide screen display were important.
High quality graphics and sound was also important for
what I needed.

* RAM

RAM is to computer what location is to real estate. RAM
or Random Access Memory is perhaps the most important
factor to consider when buying your laptop or any computer.

RAM will greatly determine the speed of your laptop or computer.
How fast it will process your tasks and graphics. You must make
sure you have enough for your needs. You can now find many laptops
pre-loaded with 1 Gig of RAM and capable of upgrading to 4 Gigs
or more.

Compared to yesterday's computers that's a lot of RAM. If you're
not into gaming, handling large video files/editing, all that
RAM is not needed but it will make your laptop run faster. Also,
remember if you're into gaming, Video RAM will be important
-- you need a top of the line (read expensive) Graphics Card
and it will increase the cost of your laptop.

Also it may be wise to buy a laptop with upgradable memory -
since new applications, multi windowed browsers, streaming video...
of the very near future may place high demand on your laptop's
RAM.

* Dual Core Processors

CPU or Computer Processing Unit is the heart of your laptop
and in this case you have Two Hearts -- Intel Centrino Duo
is the front runner in this area right now. However, AMD
is giving Intel some stiff competition in the dual core
battle with its Athlon(TM) 64 X2 dual core processor. Either
one would be a wise choice.

* Hard Drive

The amount of space or size of laptop hard drives are
steadily increasing, a 100 Gig laptop is now common.
If you don't want a lot of storage, buying a smaller
size hard drive will save you money.

Many laptop experts choose the SATA hard drive with
a high 5400 or 7200 RPM.

* Weight or Size

Perhaps the major reason you're considering buying a laptop
is its size or weight -- otherwise you're better of saving
your money and buying a desktop computer instead. A laptop is
portable, you can carry it anywhere... tuck it under your
arm and cart it to class or your next business meeting.
It is ideal for taking your information and work to wherever
you want to go. This portability is the main selling feature
of a laptop.

Obviously you must pick the best sized laptop to suit your
needs. Laptops are divided into different categories, here's
a quick rundown:

Tablet PC (smallest) Size of a paper tablet or notepad, less than 3
pounds.
