Samsung launch lapfit displays

It is easy enough to get an extra display unit to work alongside your laptop, all you need do is feed it through the VGA or DVI output and you are away. However, it is nearly always going to be a lot higher than your laptop display, this makes it harder to view properly etc. Nevertheless, the electronic giant has come up with the answer, they have developed a range of lapfit displays, and these are designed to sit at the same level as the display of the laptop, making it easier to follow a line across the monitors. At the moment they will be coming in 19in (LD190G) and 22in (LD220G), no word on the prices yet.

Toshiba Tecra R10 Review

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:22:45 +0000

Toshiba rolls out the Tecra R10 along with the other Portege A600 (read the review). What I like most about this R10 laptop without even looking at specs is how large the cooling metal fins are on the side of the laptop. One of the biggest problems with bigger, performance laptops in the past have been problems with CPU cooling. With great advances in CPU technology, manufacturers usually put a CPU fan that will last just over a year, causing the laptop to break after warranty expires. Sounds like a great way to fool consumers to buy a new laptop every year? (Well that has been case with 2 of my previous $2000 HP laptops, I am not buying HP for awhile now, I switched to Dell.) The cooling fan on this laptop should help you to work for a long time even without laptop cooling mats since the fans come out to the side. Well, a lot of laptops are like this but it’s good to note that this one does have a BIG one. The Toshiba Tecra R10 comes with a 14.1″ widescreen display, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SP9300, 3GB PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM, 160GB HDD, DVD, … Continue reading →

Review of the Best Netbooks at Amazon

Laptop Pimp — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:10:45 +0000

You might be wondering which Netbooks are the best to get these days, well let me explain what a “netbook” is in the first place. Netbooks are laptops with smaller screen size of around 8.9″ or 10.1″. Basically, you get a 1024×600 or 1200×800 resolution screen. Should you get a netbook? Well, netbooks are great for people who need something between a Blackberry and a laptop. You can get a lot of things done on a netbook, but don’t expect super-fast blazing speeds or work on your latest Photoshop graphic project. For older people who have hard time reading regular 15″ laptops, netbooks are going to be a pain, so don’t get one if you have to use your reading glasses. (But if you must explore, go ahead, they are cheaper than most laptops) For students who need a laptop for college classes, I think netbooks are great because most of them weigh less than 2.5 pounds and they will fit in your extra-large Louis Vuitton bag or your backpack too. For bloggers and professionals who need a laptop to work on writing and images, netbooks are horrible as the keyboard is too small and on-board touchpad is too funky … Continue reading →
