Laptop or Desktop? Which Should You Choose? [Guide, laptopgamers]
Traditionally, laptop computers were bought by people who had to be able to take their computer with them when they left the office, such as the salesman visiting a customer. It always used to be the case that buying portability meant a trade-off in terms of power and functionality, so desktop machines were the preferred option for those who didn’t have to travel.
Is this still a genuine trade-off, however? It’s time to re-examine the assumptions to see if they are still true. Tue, 17 Jan, 2006 | 13 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Gaming Notebook Roundup [Roundup, TrustedReviews]
In this particular scenario, we have three laptops all based on the same Clevo chassis. However, all three companies have done different things to make their laptops stand out, from bundles and pricing, to unique etchings and overclocking features. It is worth noting, that all of these laptops are fully configurable, so if you want a slightly different specification then this is easily done and can make a dramatic difference to pricing. Some companies may want a lot more for upgrades than others. Sun, 15 Jan, 2006 | 40 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
ASUS produces Lamborghini lappy [News, Hexus]
With a gorgeous black or yellow mirror finish paint job, this series
of laptops will have Intel's Napa platform 'under the hood'. One of
these laptops will be showcased today at CES. However, enough from
me, this really is a moment where the pictures should do the talking. Fri, 06 Jan, 2006 | 21 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Intel's Core Duo Launch - Notebook Performance Revealed [Review, AnandTech]
Today’s article is very much a look at Yonah and Centrino Duo as they were intended to be viewed - as members of a mobile society. The primary point of comparison here today will be Dothan and the previous generation Centrino. While we would like to compare to AMD’s Turion 64, we only had a very limited time with the notebooks in this review and we could not get a Turion 64 notebook given the short notice and time constraints. The other point worth mentioning is that the Turion 64 vs. Yonah comparison will be a lot more fair and make a lot more sense when AMD releases their dual core Turion later this quarter.

Alienware Area-51 m5500 [Review, TrustedReviews]
Clearly Alienware’s marketing people have been doing their homework, but what of Alienware’s notebook designers? The Area-51 m5500 is one of its new line-up of mobile products. Whereas its previous laptops were known for being seriously over specced, its current range is broader and has a more affordable look it. The m5500 in particular offers a sensible balance between size, power and cost. Highlights include its widescreen 15.4in display and echoing a trick we first saw in the Rock Pegasus 650, the m5500 has two graphics chips, which you can choose between with a flick of switch and a reboot. There’s Intel graphics for extended battery life and an nVidia GPU for gaming. Indeed, the m5500 features the same chassis so it’s size (326 x 278 x 31 (WxDxH), and weight, 3Kg, are the same.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 GPU Preview [Preview, legitreviews]
On the ASUS A7G Notebook running an Intel 760 (2.0GHz), 1GB DDR2 memory, and
the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 PCIe card we were able to hit an amazing 3797
3DMarks. To put this into perspective we can compare this to the ASUS Z71V
notebook that we built uses the same chipset (i915PM). It features an Intel 770
processor, 1GB DDR2 memory, and a Geforce Go 6600. It scored 1706 3DMarks when
run with the default drivers... Wed, 14 Dec, 2005 | 29 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Fujitsu LifeBook P1510 [Preview, hardwarezone]
This tiny new Fujitsu Lifebook P1510 was once a tablet PC that was not a Tablet PC until recently. Confused? Let us explain this riddle in our First Looks coverage. Thu, 08 Dec, 2005 | 13 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
ASUS V6-V Notebook and Pakuma Akara K1 [Article, Hexus]
In short, a fine piece of kit, bar the screen. At over £1500
as tested from a bunch of retailers, it represents average value for
money for a thin and light, so it'll pay to consider other options
along with the V6-V at the very least, just to satisfy yourself that
it's a good value proposition.
As for the Pakuma bag, I love it. Not much more to say, really,
other than go forth and purchase. Sun, 04 Dec, 2005 | 12 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
BenQ S53W Centrino Notebook [Review, hardwarezone]
Past Joybooks from BenQ were largely praised for its attractive lifestyle design and good build quality. As it turned out, the same formula was also applied to their latest Joybook S53W and we found it to be quite a pleasant notebook for everyday use.

MSI M635 AMD Turion 64 Notebook [Review, hardwarezone]
Although notebooks based on the AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology are largely in the shadow of its Intel counterpart in 32-bit computing performance, they are much more affordable and offer respectable performance. The MSI M635 we are looking at today is one fine example. Mon, 14 Nov, 2005 | 50 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
ASUS Z63A Whitebook Laptop Review [Review, legitreviews]
The performance capabilities of the Centrino package are amazing. The ASUS
Z63A is as fast as my overclocked Pentium-4 desktop in almost all computing
tasks. The integrated graphics performed flawlessly in office tasks and DVD
playback, and will run any games except for the most 3D-intensive titles... Wed, 09 Nov, 2005 | 45 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Dell Inspiron 1200 [Review, PCWorld]
I still have my first notebook, a Dell with a square black case and a bulky 14.1-inch XGA screen. It looks like a Buick next to newer notebooks, and the battery has never lasted more than a couple of hours, but I have to give it credit. In the seven years we've been together, my Inspiron 2500 and its sturdy keyboard have never let me down. The Dell Inspiron 1200, one of the new breed of ultracheap notebooks, reincarnates my old faithful with a similar square black case, screen, battery life, and trusty keyboard. At $499 after a $50 instant rebate, the 1200 is a lot cheaper than my old budget buy, which cost me about $1500, if memory serves. But today, with better choices even at the $500 level, I'd pass on this Dell. Wed, 09 Nov, 2005 | 11 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Solid $500 Laptops [Roundup, PCWorld]
Is the idea of getting a capable notebook from a major vendor for just $500 too good to be true? Not if your needs are modest. Although such deals involve definite catches, our tests revealed that new bargain-basement models work well if you want a machine that handles e-mail, Web surfing, word processing, and other run-of-the-mill productivity chores. We tested laptops from Acer, Dell, and HP's Compaq line; each company sells basic models for around $500 (after rebates). Gateway and IBM are also getting into the act: As we went to press, both were advertising units starting in the $500 range after rebates.

Sony VAIO VGN-S480 [Review, designtechnica]
The Sony VAIO S480 is the perfect notebook for people that don’t want to compromise on performance when it comes to their lightweight laptop. With a 2.13GHz processor, 100GB hard drive, DVD+/-RW dual layer drive, and integrated GeForce Go 6200, the S480 has the power to replace a modest desktop PC. But, with a 13.3” XBRITE widescreen display and a weight of just 4.3 pounds, this powerhouse just barely misses a classification of an ultra lightweight laptop. While the battery life could be better, and this first class package comes at a first class price, the VAIO S480 is a top contender all around.

Acer TravelMate 3002WTCi [Review, PCMag]
To keep pace with the lightweight laptops flooding the market, Acer has come out with its lightest ultraportable yet. The Acer TravelMate 3002WTCi weighs just 3.2 pounds and slides easily into your bag. What separates it from the competition is its heavy-duty processor (the Pentium M 740) and its amazingly low price ($1,299 direct).

MPC TransPort U1000 [Review, PCMag]
MPC notebooks are better known in the government and education space than in corporate America and consumer retail stores. The company's latest ultraportable, the MPC TransPort U1000 ($2,026 direct as tested), may change all that. This small system packs quite a punch, thanks to a built-in optical drive, excellent performance, and outstanding extended battery life.
