Product Review

The Toshiba Satellite E105-S1802 is the 2nd release in the E105 series. It features a slightly slower Intel Core 2 Duo processor than its predecessor, but adds along the Windows 7 operating system, a digital fingerprint reader for enhanced security, and a larger 500GB SATA hard-disc drive.

Like its peer, the E105-S1802 relies on 4GB of DDR2 RAM and an Intel Graphics Accelerator that can handle between 128MB to 1342MB allocated shared memory. It’s built more for business and communications needs, as is evident by its core specs: 802.11b/g/n wireless, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, Gigabit LAN, and...read more

  • Input: Trackpoint / Multi-Touch Touch-pad
  • Camera: .3MP
  • Battery: 3 Cell; 6 Cell

Product Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e is a thin and lightweight notebook featuring an AMD Athlon Neo processor, up to 4GB of RAM, and either a 320GB or 500GB SATA hard-disc drive. It’s technically a notebook, but yet features an ultra-portable design reminiscent of a netbook.

Its specifications are therefore somewhat at the lower end of the spectrum: a relatively small 11.6” display, standard Ethernet, and WiFi. There is speculation though that the X100e might also boast a third-party graphics card, as well as optional 3G/Bluetooth connectivity. One thing that is for certain is the inclusion of a distinct...read more

Product Review

The Apple iPad is a device that has a lot in common with tablet computers but also introduces a new classification of products with its April 3, 2010 release. The intention of the device is to offer a new, comprehensive approach to interacting with many functions and services that are served by several currently existing products.

Apple also intends for the iPad to bring similar sweeping, revolutionary changes to portable computing that the iPod brought for the music industry. The iPad makes itself unique from other devices in three main ways: a multi-touch display, an ultra-slim design, and a custom built, reimagined intuitive user interface.

The display on the system is capable of real-time configuration between landscape and portrait orientations by automatically detecting how the user is holding the device. The system is also designed to be virtually button-free, with a multi-touch, 9.7 inch LCD with in-plane switching (IPS) and LED backlight for bright, vibrant displays with...read more

Product Review

The U30Jc is a feature packed 13.3'' notebook from ASUS. Intel's Core i3 processor and Nvidia's Optimus Technology provides a balance of performance and battery life on the go.

Product Review

After Apple, many experts and consumers alike will agree that Sony is the leading brand in 'designer laptops'. They have been famous for producing ultra sleek and gorgeous laptops, which are very often backed by a set of mean and powerful specs and features. The new Sony VAIO VPC-F113FX/B is of no exception.

Although this is considered as a high-end laptop in many ways (prices and feature set), I must say that this model actually gives great value for your money. Its 6GB of DDR3 RAM and the BD ROM is good enough of reasons for many to buy one of these (note that this model is currently retailing at barely $1200 per unit). As if all that is not enough, this laptop is also extremely...read more
