Apple MacBook Pro 2009 (2.66GHz, 17-inch) Review

September 7th, 2009 admin No comments

If you are a fan of Apple’s laptops for a while, or in the possession of an Apple Mac before, you may well remember the back of the announcement of the new design 13 and 15-inch in October ‘08. The apparent absence, however, the issue of 17-inch MacBook Pro.

Later, a few months, announced in January 2009, Apple, which now appear in typical Apple MacBook Pro 2009 (2,66 GHz, 17-inch) and laptop. These include a small trackpad button  unibody  aluminum chassis and the screen with LED backlight edge to edge glass. This makes it ideal for fans of Apple delighted that they want improvements in the model 2009 in a desktop replacement.

Starting from $ 2,799 for a 17-inch Apple MacBook Pro that is not the cheapest laptop, but still a favorite model for photographers and media representatives. The improved suspension, trackpad and an integrated graphics chipset nVidia is certainly welcome additions to improve Mac Book Pro.

One thing is Apple’s laptops do not doubt the quality of simple designs, but high. The 17-inch MacBook Pro is similar to the 13 and 15-inch models because they come from a solid block of aluminum is a thin and light laptop that is still a solid framework.

The trackpad is the same as that found in smaller models, but provide a button on the mouse separately, allowing a much wider area. You will notice that the entire trackpad as a mouse button is clickable, but also works when you type (such as a laptop), if the option is enabled in the settings.

After the trackpad, you can find some useful features. Slide four fingers on the pad and all applications will hide. Sliding four fingers left and right will move applications … very useful to facilitate the transition and the concealment of applications. If you find it useful to describe the function of the right mouse button on a mouse, then the probability of a corner of the touchpad to use the law for the right mouse button as a very useful tool.

Appliances widescreen 17-inch screen is more than enough to work on photo and video-assisted production of 1920 in x1, 200 screen. The colors are bright and deep, but you can see the rays of light catch the screen very well. Apple has a matte coating to prevent the display option as an asset of $ 50 to reflect this.

We have always been a fan of the keyboard for notebook computers by Apple, because it’s flat major developed and remote areas. Pro-and high-end 13-inch MacBook come standard with backlit keys, which seems a very nice feature.

While the MacBook Pro is the port FireWire, which has won over many fans would consider the possibility of a Blu-ray and CF or SD card slot would not hurt. It seems a shame not to get the most from the bustle of the big screen with the top model of optical discs.

Apple sells a variety of external dongles you with any video output is available, because this lap-top comes with a Mini DisplayPort as a mini-DVI or VGA. For an extra $ 750 you have an option for a 256GB-drive solid state to achieve, but more with the most customers, the 7200 rpm 320GB hard drive separately ($ 50) in the standard 320 GB 5400 rpm is not of your taste.

Standard 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo works very well to the reference tests, but only slightly faster than the CPU 2,6 GHz, the 15-inch model. A 2.93GHz chip is available as an upgrade, but will return $ 300 fee. Benchmarking with similar processors for mobile PCs based on Windows measured lead very well, but the fact that many applications such as iTunes and Photoshop run faster on Mac OS X, you can get better results if comparisons with computers and laptop computers.

The design of the Apple MacBook Pro, but is great fun, some people complain about the battery is sealed. This means that it is possible to replace the battery when on long trips or for several hours. But the battery is in this notebook for more than 4 hours after consumption, often twice, which can reach most other desktop replacement laptops.

Although it has many good qualities for notebook computers by Apple, the 90 days of free telephone support is quite short. In other words, get AppleCare warranty almost a necessity, but will take $ 349. We love their laptops to Apple LaptopSearcher.com however, and the MacBook Pro 17-inch 2009-model Apple is a model that looks great, good will, and will be on our list to replace desktops best laptop computer.

ASUS Eee PC 1000HE Review

September 7th, 2009 admin No comments

The Eee PC 1000HE  is the latest offering from ASUS Laptops and demonstrated that the rapid popularity among consumers. (As with the sleek design of the 901 and 1000HA) and the new processor Intel Atom N280, the laptop is already an improvement compared to models of Laptops and many others, not to mention the excellent battery life.

Take a look outside the ASUS Eee PC 1000HE, you will notice virtually no change from the 900 and 1000HA. Only when you look in the computer and open the screen, you can see everyone. The interior is filled with a glossy black, which blends well with the color matching keyboard.

The build quality looks and feels stable. The 100HE Asus resistant plastic used throughout the body to resist bending. There is no doubt that the netbook market is just bright enough today with the Acer Aspire One low-cost leader in the entry price.
Several manufacturers are introducing additional features and better design of the Laptops with the larger keyboard on the HP Mini 1000 and Express Card for the Lenovo S10 are two examples. The production of the Asus Eee 1000HE improved, but certainly not for the initial line of ASUS Eee PC.

The Eee box has a reputation for providing the battery life and this is certainly the 1000HE. ASUS promises 9.5 hours of battery life, although further efforts to use anywhere near the time of use rather RIDGID. It was in fact achieved by the device is turned off power saving mode disabled camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability, and the brightness is less than half of its establishment.
For the practical application of the battery life is 7.5 hours more, which is still very good considering the 1000HA manages only 4.5 hours, all thanks to the 6-cell battery, ASUS has managed to get the best possible use of sub -.

The key word is the difference in physical movement. The distance between the keys to a great extent, in any case, touch typing, and can help introducing quick-start buttons were on the keyboard layout to change requests and resolutions initial screen.

For those who like thin and light netbook computer that could not ASUS Eee PC 1000HE how to get your first choice, especially compared to one-half pound lighter and much thinner HP Mini 1000 in the 10-inch Netbook category. In fact, you can even find some 15 and 17 inch laptops thinner than the laptop 1000HE. Although it is entirely personal preference and not on the list of factors when choosing a netbook above.

As a model for Laptops 10-inch widescreen 10,1 inch ASUS EPC resolution of 1024×600 provides 1000HE.
Even this comparison with the HP Mini 1000 netbook, has 1000HE mean edge style numbers on the glass, you may need to scroll to view some Web pages and documents.

The display is pleasing to the eye of the placement of the device. Colors are vivid and bright backlight. Perspective also invited a lot about the ASUS 1000HE. The only drawback is the low resolution, but a general decline in most Laptops, not 1000HE particular.

The ASUS Eee PC 1000HE price is very competitive. We found stores where this notebook for as little as $ 374 with a pre-order $ 25 back when the normal selling price is a fraction under $ 400. Even if an extra $ 50 for Acer Aspire One, Asus Eee PC, which improves 1000HE Security 10-inch netbook in the touchpad section. The surface is very broad and includes big buttons and brushed metal edge around the touchpad. However, there appears to be the sensitivity and responsiveness of the laptop, use the touchpad Synaptics (Asus Elantech use) with the finger movements were quick.

It will probably not notice much difference in N280 1.66GHz Intel Atom N270 netbook to 1,6 GHz processor with many other Laptops. For typical use, however, the processor is more than adequate for most tasks like surfing the Internet, word processing, running, and e-mail.

The ASUS Eee PC1000HE contains the idea ExpressCard Lenovo S10, but it is moderate in terms of the port of choice for a netbook. It has 3 ports USB, lock slot for Kensington, VGA, LAN, microphone / headphone jacks and an SD-4-in-1 Multi-Card Reader if you are new Laptops containing more.

ASUS has definitely made some improvements, with the laptop Eee PC 1000HE, especially in view of the keyboard with a standard quality. The battery life is quite amazing, and jumped over many other Laptops the same price range. The 1000HE is an affordable option and has some advantages though.

Lenovo ThinkPad Laptop T400 Review

September 7th, 2009 admin No comments

The T-Series Lenovo is in the middle of the line Thinkpad. It offers a range of features and benefits, including good performance, value and portability.

The laptop Lenovo ThinkPad T400 is a very popular company that the recent reform and improvement of the keyboard and screen. The original version of this laptop is definitely a big hit with users, but with further improvements in the update, the ThinkPad T400 sit still considered one of the best laptop deals in the market?

Compared with the previous plan ThinkPad T400 is not very different. There are subtle changes, but nothing too sensitive, although not looking specifically for them. The general tone, like other ThinkPads, it is quite boring. The keyboard and the case is all black with a touch of color to slate blue markings on some buttons and eraser bright red Trackpoint.

The T400 Lenovo is very small, measuring about 1,3 cm in the thickest part. The 9 cell battery can be a bit of weight to the laptop, however, add, add 9 kg and 4.7 kg 4 cell units. However, the advantage is of course an extra battery, priority will be a little more weight for most people.

The construction quality of ThinkPad T61 T400 is similar to previous generations, such as the ThinkPad. The battery can be easily accessed via email, which may be more pronounced with the heavier 9 cell battery. The plastic LCD lid is a bit like a feeling from cheap, but the overall objective of this laptop is good.

As a mobile laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad T400 has a range of ports to be useful, but each selection is average.

A concern noted on the T400 is almost ubiquitous ThinkLight that appears in most Lenovo ThinkPad. The intention is to illuminate the keyboard with an LED to be placed above the screen. In this laptop, tending the light at user level and does not shine on the keyboard.

As mentioned above, illuminates the introduction of high brightness backlit display WXGA supposed to improve the right, he certainly did not. In fact, you are more likely to find that the light does not light up even higher price in order to benefit from the improved display.

We are pleased to say that although the use of a backlit screen T400, is to improve the brightness, there is no sacrifice in revenge, or do black levels. This is a problem in many other models with similar plates back, but the T400 Lenovo. In normal brightness settings are truly black, and runs only indirectly, gray, when just before the brightness range of 80%. The angles are equally impressive with this laptop.

Latest Lenovo ThinkPad keyboard thinner, an interesting addition to the need and not the lack of support from the podium for the previous version tend T400. Lenovo has extra support under the keyboard on this new version, which has virtually eliminated the learning curve when you press the keys added.

T400 Press the keyboard is comfortable and getting a good response and feedback keys. Lenovo did an excellent job on this keyboard, and can say that this is one of the best in the mobile business. If you have a Lenovo laptop in front of the property will most likely see the integration of fluid flow, designed to handle spills of beverages when flat.

The touchpad T400 is also nice. It has more keys than previous models, the same texture and good response and sensitivity. The touchpad buttons are quiet and have good support from edge to edge.

Despite the intense brightness of the screen, the power consumption is obviously not finished. The Saab 9-cell battery can be used to provide long battery life, more than 9 hours with the appropriate display settings and laptop.

This notebook is more than can be considered particularly in the import documents, movies or surf the Internet, thanks to 3 GB of RAM and 7200 rpm hard drive for the T400 Lenovo. The integrated Intel X4500 graphics card is the perfect laptop for gaming but for HD movies.

Overall, the Lenovo ThinkPad laptop T400 is a good choice for professional use. The high brightness display the new T400 is a great addition to the battery does not leak as expected. We liked the keyboard on the Lenovo, pad touch, with no significant violations.
