The new Asus N10Jc is a netbook. But, it’s unlike any netbook Asus has pumped out before. That’s because while it might be a $650 laptop with some pretty basic specs, there are a few ges hidden in the spec list that make it stand out.
First, the N10Jc ships with a 6-cell battery, a nice option for netbook users who want to get off the couch and away from the power plug. Plus, little improvements like a 95% keyboard and a full set of ports are nice additions. Of course, this comes with a weigh
As promised, today I’d like you to meet the Dell Studio 15 laptop, the latest offering from Dell. Jumping on the color bandwagon roughly half a decade years after Mac started the whole trend, Dell’s colorful lineup of Studio machines are nice to look at, but do they have the specs to stand up against the MacBook and all the great home media center options from otehr PC makers like Samsung?
Well, let’s take a look. Starting between $599 and $849, the bare-bones system won’t quite cu
Today, the buzz in the laptop world is surrounding the XO $100 computer, which is available in Europe for the first time this afternoon. Also, Wired has coverage of the ne “get one, give one” promotion from the company, which allows first-world users to pick up one of the laptops for $400 and, at the same time, have a second computer delivered to a child in a third-world county. The simple, well d
We took a look at the Toshiba Satellite E105-S1402 the other day, so I figured comparing the new Toshiba Satellite M305-S4835 specs might be appropriate. The M305, which runs about $1,050, is almost identical to it’s Best Buy cousin. However, the M305 is set up to be a little more powerful at home.
Primarily, the M305 can be used as a home media center, with a nice display size and a reasonable proc
While a well designed trackpad can be every laptop user’s best friend, even the most dexterous of us want a classic mouse sometimes. That’s why I wanted to take a look at some of the top-rated mice out there and give my picks for what you should bee looking for.
For Gamers:
While a optical mouse is nice, most gamers, who tend to use their laptops like a desktop anyway, can choose to go with a clissic wired mouse. By doing so, you get the added security of knowing your mo
Comparable in a number of ways to the Lenovo ThinkPad SL300, the Samsung Q310 happens to some up a little short in the realm of business notebooks.
First, a straight specs to price comparison between the two notebooks shows more power in the SL300 for less price. The $1,200 – $1,300 Q310 holds up when it comes to basic performance, sure. And the battery life is solid, if not spectacular like the SL300.
Overall, it comes down to a direct price and spec comparison. While the Q310 w
When it comes to business machines, there are a few key specs you have too take a look at. First, can a notebook run everything you need it to, can it do it fast? Well, with Lenovo’s ThinkPad SL300, the first answer is an emphatic yes. With the SL300, the 13-inch version of the SL400, you get a Intel Core Duo 2 running at 2.26 GHz, enough power to get you through presentations and even some high-end editing. Plus the 4,500 rpm hard drive will allow you fast access to al those business files. So,
Well, Laptop people, another week has slipped past us. Let’s take a loot at some of the best laptops we looked at this week, as well as the day’s news and a few great how-tos and hacks.
First, our top three laptops of the week:
1. The Samsung X460 turned some heads this week. The solid specs and great design was enough for reviwers around the net.

Alexander Wolf wonders why anyone wants a new laptop:
[U]nless you covet a new MacBook, you’re not crossing your fingers in hopes of finding a shiny new notebook computer under the tree. Smartphones, netbooks, and digital SLRs, definitely. But laptops? Yawn!
Dan Costa wonders if Netbooks are the new notebooks:
But can the netbook replace the notebook?
A small step up from Dell in the low-price notebook market, Gateway has always been able to pack their laptops with some pretty decent specs. The Gateway MC-7803u is no exception.
Hitting the street at $1000, the MC-7803u is a well designed, nice looking desktop replacement. With it’s Intel Duo T5800 and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 graphics set, it should be able to handle all you everyday home office and internet needs, as well as some basic gaming and editing.
And while the MC-7803u isn&
