One such feature is the addition of leather trim, backlit keyboard, and as many ports as you can handle. There are many options as per usual with Dell, in fact in some cases there probably too many options to choose from.

Samsung R610 Review and Specs

andrew — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:49:28 +0000

The Samsung R610 continues the trend of good looking Samsung laptops. Plus, the $1050 laptop has some great specs to offer for the price. With a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo and 3 GB of RAM, the R610 is a solid home computer. At 6 pounds, it’s amazing the 16 display and internal setup don’t weigh it down more. But, at that size, are we leaving too much of the portability behind? Propably. And that’s the downfall of the R610. Because it’s larger and less portable, it doesnt stand out against otehr 16 inch laptops. It’s middle of the road, at best. But, that isn’t the end for the R610. This is a solid laptop with great design, so it’s worth comparing to your other 16″ choices. Don;t go rush and buy this laptop, but include it in the group to choose from. In the end, you’ll probably go with something else. But this is a good benchmark. Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2 GHz RAM: 3 GB Weight: 6 lbs.

andrew — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:09:31 +0000

The $1000 Acer Aspire 6930G is a great candidate for a home media machine. Offering an attractive design for an Acer laptop and combining some pretty stellar specs for the price point. The 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor will keep you app switching and the 16″ display and the Nvidia GeForce 9600M will allow for some minor gaming and great movie watching.

A little heavy at 7.2 pounds, the 6930G is a true laptop, so you can expect the full package here. Overall, at under $1000, you won’t beat the Acer for a simple home media machiene. Sure, there are better laptops out there. But this system is ready to go for a good price. If you’re eying it, go ahead and buy.

Gateway MC 7803u Review and Specs

andrew — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:16:40 +0000

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’t blowing anyone away, it’s getting some good marks on the net. PC Magazine said the following in their review: Gateway has a long history of delivering powerful products at competitive prices, yet for the most part, design has been missing from its repertoire. Now Gateway has that, too—and at a good time, as the MC7803u now sits on retail shelves competing to catch the consumer’s eye. Overall, it’s a very handsome and decent-performing 16-inch laptop at a price that will make any frugal shopper happy. Laptop Magazine dinged the MC for missing a few little things, such as a blu-ray player, saying: The touch-sensitive controls aren’t for everyone, and it’s a tad bulky, … Continue reading →
