Yet another Compaq Presario, it has a fifteen inch display and all of the usual features that you would expect to find in a descent Compaq computer as well as a few that extra features. There is one thing that needs to be done, a proper road test to put it through its features.
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.
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. Even without the Blu-Ray drive, this litlte laptop is powerful enough to get you through for a few more years.
A little heavy at 7.2 pounds, the 6930G is a true laptop, so you can expect the full package here.
eMachines have always been the low-cost alternative. But now with netbooks flooding the market, eMachines needs to step up its game. So, the company is releasing a full sized laptop for less than $400. Is the eMD620 woth it? Let’s see.
As a Best Buy exclusive, this notebook is subpar. An Athlon 2650e with 1.6 GHz won’t get you very far in the office of on the net and the low 1 GB of RAM will surely lead to slowdown within a year.
Plus, the little thing us pretty ugly, sports low battery life and only has two USB ports.
Overall you are looking at a ba
The Gateway P-7811FX is Gateway’s first retail laptop available only through Best Buy. It’s a little older, but I thought it was worth taking a look at because its specs and design are really holding up against some really recent additions to the laptop market.
Obviously, just by looking at it, you can see that the 7811FX fits right in with any number of current laptops in the design category. The orange piping is like totally right now. (Sorry.) But beyond looks, who are the specs on this $1,499 laptop?
First, the 17-inch screen and the availability of a B
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
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
Sorry about the picture, but it seems for all the rage being created about the Acer Aspire 8930G, there are very few quality pictures of the high-end gaming machine out there.
But, there is a lot of information and buzz about the specs, and a lot of people are talking about the 8930G’s gaming setup.
Not only does the 8930 feature a super fast 7,200 rpm hard drive, the GForce 9700 GT graphics setup, 5.1 sound support and 18.4″ HD display make this case a bundle of gaming goodi
Another laptop available through Best Buy, the Toshiba Satellite E105-S1402 is based on consumer research and the final product reflects that.
Stylistically, the Satellite E105-S1402 has a funky finish case and a backlit keyboard. But more than that, it packs some solid specs for a under $2,000 notebook. However, some flimsy plastic and poor interior design pull down what could be a spectacular setup.

The next laptop in a long line of Dell business machines, the Dell Latitude E6400 is getting some pretty good reviews around the net. For a starting price of $1,888, the E6400 comes with some pretty powerful business specs.
The 5.6 pound weight is mostly from the 9-cell battery that provides better life on long flights, so the extra weight is acceptable. Th
