Great laptop, great performance, and good value!
I looked far and wide for a laptop to meet my needs:
- Not too small to use for image editing, and not too large to fit on an airplane food tray
- Dedicated video memory to handle basic video/photo editing (not to mention Vista’s hunger for Video memory)
- Lots of [...]

“Almost” a Macbook killer…but for 1/2 the price, I’ll take it.
I watch the tech market fairly closely. My wife has the 13″ Macbook (newer LED aluminium one) and really I love it…the “two finger scrolling” is wonderful, but I need a PC for work.
So, here’s what I wanted in a new laptop (not in [...]

Review: CQ60-210US Compaq, Great Value Priced Laptop!..

Great Value Priced Laptop! Highly Recommended!
The Compaq Presario CQ60-210US is a very nice, feature rich laptop for home or student use. I was truely impressed with ease of setup, which took about 15 minutes from opening the box and connecting the battery.
This is a rather large laptop and it is somewhat heavy, but not unreasonably [...]

Review: Gateway NV7802u, Best I’ve ever had!

Best I’ve ever had!
I’m a techie and own 9 other computers. 6 of the 9 are Sony’s. I also own Toshiba and MSI. I always thought I had to purchase the most expensive to have the best, but after purchasing the Gateway, I see now that I was wrong. This laptop is [...]

Review: ASUS K50IJ-X8 15.6-Inch, Capable value notebook

Capable value notebook
(Re-wrote this review 12/6/09)
This is an excellent budget notebook with a 15.6″ screen that’s only 5.8 lbs. We just bought two for my wife’s parents (don’t buy it for 3D games, as it has integrated graphics, but office apps and browsing are fine).
Pros:
- T6600 Core 2 Duo (not the Pentium Dual Core, [...]

It looks great, but make sure you did a little deeper
I first saw this computer at Sam’s Club (eventually where I bought it too) and was completely infatuated. This laptop delivers amazing value for the price. HP has definately brought their ‘A’ game on this model. There are a couple things you *need* to know [...]

Review: Sony VAIO VPC-CW13FX/P, beautiful notebook

beautiful notebook
Having looked at several dozen models before settling on this Sony, this is one of the best looking notebooks available. Fit and finish are first rate. The palm rest includes a blended color scheme, matching the lid on the outer edge and gradually lightening as it approaches the keyboard. The keys are well labeled, [...]

The best notebook for the photographer on the go!
I am not a big fan of throwing “best of this and best of that” labels. There are, however, items that deserve such labels and I think the Sony SR is one of them. I bought this notebook for my media production company. I personally use it [...]
