Rock Xtreme SLI notebook [Review, bit-tech]
There comes a point where one can't really call a laptop a laptop. This is probably it. The Rock Xtreme SLI has a 19" screen, two graphics cards and enough weight to be eligible for entry into Celebrity Fit Club. This is one massive laptop, and it delivers some massive performance too.
NVIDIA's SLI has been a sound commercial success for the graphics firm, with plenty of enthusiasts buying into the dual-graphics ecosystem, even if not buying two graphics cards straight off the bat. The promise of über-high-res gaming with insane detail has proved to be a pretty good selling message. The GeForce 7-series was designed very much with mobile in mind, which is why we saw the 7800 Go come out so soon after the launch of the desktop part.

NVIDIA Brings SLI Graphics To Notebook PCs [Article, legitreviews]
As you can see in the image above the NVIDIA SLI notebook solution are placed
next to eachother. The chipset is of course the nForce 4 SLI. Since the cards
must sit next to eachother this makes the notebook motherboard extremely wide.
To be honest we have only seen the GeForce Go 7800 GTX in 19" and larger
notebooks. Below is a closer shot of the two cards in SLI.... Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Alienware Area-51 m5700 laptop [Review, hexus]
Where the
Alienware Area-51 falls foul of the competition is with respect to 3D
graphics. NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 Go 256MB PCIe graphics adapter is no
slouch, but the Ultra model, as specified by Dell, is significantly
faster. The comparison Rock's Mobility Radeon X800 XT 256MB is faster
still, so Alienware, pricing this particular sample at around £1800,
really needed to out-specify the established hierarchy for DTR
laptops. Matters would have been fine if one had the option of
upgrading the video to the '6800 Ultra model, or even the
more-impressive GeForce 7800 GTX Go, but that isn't the case. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 14 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

HP Pavilion dv5000z Review [Review, laptoplogic]
The dv5000z turns into an instant entertainment computer with the help of a vibrant 15.4-inch widescreen display with BrightView to enhance image clarity, a set of Altec Lansing speakers built-in for better sound quality, and HP’s Quickplay which allows you to listen to music or watch DVD movies without having to boot into Windows. The laptop also encompasses something you won’t find in most other laptops: a Lightscribe DVD±RW/R drive that is capable of burning a silkscreen label on a CD or DVD disc! Unlike the dv4000, this model doesn’t have an option for the more powerful ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics card, instead using the integrated ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M graphics, which is to say the least a bottleneck in the graphics spectrum if you’re a gamer. Nevertheless, these are still big features in a very attractive package. Tue, 21 Feb, 2006 | 23 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Sony VAIO VGN-TX650P [Review, laptoplogic]
Mobility is in and Sony took charge by revamping its lightest and thinnest ultra-portable with the new VAIO TX model. A predecessor to last year’s T350 series, the new VAIO TX is lighter, wider, and richer in features while maintaining a similar $2,200 price tag. Measuring 1-inch thin and weighing a mere 2.8 pounds, this robust and versatile laptop comes loaded with most functionality a business user would possibly need, including a multitude of connectivity options and communication offerings.
The Sony VAIO VGN-TX650P comes with cutting-edge elements, including being wrapped around a sexy carbon fiber chassis, so far found only in a limited number of laptops such as the prestigious Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi. The VAIO TX sports a razor sharp 11.1-inch WXGA widescreen display with XBRITE to enhance image clarity and is one of the first laptops to incorporate LED backlight technology. Despite its minute size, it comes with an integrated double layer DVD±RW optical drive and for convenience it features Sony’s Instant On Mode so you can watch movies or listen to music without having to boot into Windows.

World Exclusive: ASUSTeK A6JA 'Napa' Notebook [Review, Hexus]
When judged in relation to benchmarks that are
single-threaded, the supplied A6JA's Intel Centrino Duo T2500,
humming along at 2GHz, and thanks to a dual-core architecture that's
been enhanced in the transition over from single-core Dothan's,
together with the use of a faster FSB, performs in the general
vicinity of, say, a Pentium M 780 (2.26GHz). Swap on over to
multi-threaded apps. and the 'T2500 has no mobile peer. All-in-all,
we would probably recommend the ASUS A6JA if it shipped with a
single-core Dothan CPU; it's got all the right ingredients and a
reasonable asking price. Throw in the obvious goodness of dual-core
Yonah CPUs, upgraded WiFi, decent battery life, and cooling so quiet
and efficient that you can hear your own breathing, and you have a
tasty proposition on your hands that is available right now. Thu, 16 Feb, 2006 | 178 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Laptop Travel Tips [Article, laptoplifestyle]
Travel laptops require more consideration on top of the usual factors involved in buying a laptop, such as performance, price and warranty. Getting a system that is light is critical. With widescreen models becoming more popular, whilst great for viewing, it just adds weight to the system. If you are not into watching movies or complex graphics, a smaller screen should be fine.

5 Tips For Buying A Laptop [Guide, laptoplifestyle]
Buying a laptop is a matter that requires some thought. Consider the size and weight of the laptop. How often will you be carrying your laptop? Your answer will help determine which size and weight will best suit your needs. If you will be carrying your laptop frequently, a lighter model will be preferable.
The keyboard is another area to consider when buying a laptop. Why is the size of the keyboard important? A larger laptop will have a slightly larger keyboard area. But keep in mind that if you worry about your fingers or wrists taking on too much stress from typing on a keyboard that is too small, you may want this to be a main factor in your purchasing decision.
