Advantages: High speed, gorgeous, and easy to use
Disadvantages: Price, operating temperature

...I tell you this because Apple try to "screw you over" somewhat, as they offer three different models of the MBP. Let me explain. There are two versions of the 15.4" model, the second one having a 2.5GHz processor and a 250GB hard drive. The other difference you might notice if you look closely is that the processor cache size is 6MB not 3MB. Six is a bigger number than three, so the smaller one must be rubbish! This difference had me confused for ...
...anyway. That's enough gratuitous Apple bashing for now, I think. Most Apple products are expensive, but in this case I believe it really is worth it. All the applications are fast to run. It boots up quickly, shuts down quicker, and goes to sleep (and wakes up again!) in a well behaved manner. I've never had any problems with it running slowly, or even crashing for that matter. It comes with 2GB of RAM, which is plenty. If, like me, you can't bear ... Read review

Advantages: Speed, reliability, stunning good looks
Disadvantages: Quite heavy, will make everything else seem a bit uglier

...out of the house. The Acer 6920 changes all that. We needed a laptop for our photographic business, so it had to be fast, powerful and reliable. The Intel Core2 Duo produces a staggering amount of clock speed, around 5 GhZ if you add it up in real terms. Coupled with 4Gb RAM (good quality stuff too), an impressive DEDICATED graphics card and beautiful glass-fronted display, the 6920 meets all the geeky criteria and some! However, the specs (as ...
...No. That, ladies and gentlemen, is it's looks. It - is - stunning. No other way to describe such a beautifully created machine. I'm convinced no supermodels would have one though - if they were sitting next to it, everyone would be gawping at the laptop instead... Glossy plastic with lights behind, touch-pad controls, a fingerprint scanner - enough gadgets to put James Bond out of business. The components are of very high quality and we've not ... Read review

Advantages: Good for office work, good battery life
Disadvantages: not so great for media

I had the model down from this one, so i cant review it specifically, but this model was purely an upgrade from the predeccessor, and my girlfriend sells this at her work, a well known PC superstore, there is a big interest apparently, and she reckons its brilliant, good value for money, and far superior to the one before. Plus point is a great battery life, and good for office type work such as word documents, powerpoint presentations, and excel ... Read review

Advantages: Looks great, great specs and I can connect it to my HD TV
Disadvantages: costs a whole lot of money

...in the laptop" The Sony Vaio FZ18E is a stylish portable notebooks. My chosen model has … Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, 2MB cache, 800Mhz FSB 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM 667Mhz 160GB 5400RPM SATA HDD Optical drive: DVD+/-RW/R DL/RAM NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GT (dedicated) Graphics 15.4" WXGA X-black TFT LCD screen Don't ask me what this means if you don't know this is what the guy at the store told me he scared me into buying it with all those big words. ...
...As well as built-in wireless and all the usual connectors, including an HDMI port for outputting 1080i to an HD TV. I love this feature I can connect it to my HD TV and watch movies it looks great. The RAM is a bit low according to Crucial but I'm getting an 'upgrade kit' "i.e. 2x1GB sticks" I must find out how to install that before it comes This laptop certainly get points for its styles. The lid has a brushed metallic finish, with "Vaio" carved ... Read review

Advantages: core duo processor, quick startup
Disadvantages: unbelievably square screen, thick and heavy

Since my brother bought it in september i have used it a lot so... The shape of the screen is retarded, its too square, it needs to be more wide and the screen quality is less than hoped for a laptop which is quite new. It is fast though which is good since its a laptop and its core duo processor is brand new on the market so it is capable of doing quite a few things at once and does not freeze. It is prone to freezing on the internet, and when ...
...doesnt help either so you have to turn it off manually. The cd/dvd drive is up to standard and is fast. You can also burn data cd's and movies because the laptop comes with a program which can make movies. It doesnt have a memory card slot so that isnt very good for a new laptop, but it does have a laptop card slot. The battery uptime is over 2 hours which is great. It is very quick to start up and has a system restoration feature which can get ... Read review
