Asus G71 Short Review and Specs

andrew — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:30:39 +0000

All the U.K. readers out there can get excited about the Asus G71, which is being touted as one of the bast gaming laptops out there. The specs sure make it sound that way. An impressive Intel Core 2 Extreme running at 2.53GHz is more of a desktop processor, so it will provide the power. And the Nvidia Geforce 9700M GPU will power the most recent games just fine. Overall, this is a desktop that you can move around. This is a serious gaming machine and I would be happy to have one to play around with, that’s for sure. Operating System: Windows Vista Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 Processor Speed: 2.53GHz RAM:4 GB Weight: Display Size: 17″ Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 9700M GPU Storage Capacity: Duo 250 GB Networking Options: 802.11 Primary Optical Drive: DVD +/- RW a asus, ASUS Netbooks, g71, gaming machine, intel core 2 extreme, Laptop Reviews, Laptop Specs, nvidia, nvidia geforce

ASUS Bamboo Series Early Reviews and Specs

andrew — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:05:47 +0000

Wow! I first talked about this Bamboo Asus laptop yesterday in the news roundup, and today I wanted to share some of the early specs. I guess this has been out in Taiwan for a while and it will be hitting the U.S. soon. All things considered, this is a massive little machine. The bamboo is more than just gimmick, and I think the specs speak pretty well for themselves. Plus, the bamboo makes this a really green computer. The pandas have been right about the stuff all along. It’s a little over 3 pounds, but has a 12.1″ display, up from the small 10″ displays. If you go to town on this and pick up the best options, you could have a nice looking wooden laptop. I can’t wait to see what pricing is. You’ll see a Intel Core 2 Duo, and an Nvidia GeForce graphics setup.: Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista® Ultimate Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor Processor Speed: Depends RAM: 4GB Weight: 3.46 lbs Display Size: 12.1″ Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS External 256MB VRAM Storage Capacity: 320 GB Networking Options: Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5100 Primary Optical Drive: DVD Super Multi Double Laye The Asus Website has … Continue reading →

Acer Aspire 6930G Review and Specs

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. 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. 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. Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 Processor Speed: 2 GHz RAM: 4 GB Weight: 7.2 lbs.

Lenovo Thinkpad SL400 Review and Specs

andrew — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:00:57 +0000

The counter-intuitive little brother to the Lenovo Thinkpad SL300, the Thinkpad SL400 offers some solid specs, but it might not be worth the trouble required to bring this $600 laptop up to snuff, and up to price, at slightly above $1000. Because the Thinkpad has become pretty standard across the board, you still get the Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.26 GHz, and the non-too shabby NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS graphics setup for lighter, old-school gaming. But, what you don’t get is style or power. The SL400 is a sloppy looking standard laptop, and the smaller battery needs upgrading to a 9-cell, which adds to the price and the weight. Plus, the WiFi is dreadfully out of style, only supporting 802.11 a. Overall, this little laptop isn’t up to snuff in features. If you want a cheap laptop for casual business or home use, go with a netbook. If you want to have a desktop replacement, go with something more serious, because if you don’t you will end up adding options to this until you wish you would have. Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz RAM: 2 … Continue reading →

MSI GX720 Review and Specs

andrew — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:01:17 +0000

MSI has made some fantastic notebooks, no one can deny that. For instance, the MSI Wind has been one of the most talked about netbooks out there. But when it comes to gaming machines, the Laptop Pimp was wondering how MSI stacks up. For that reason, I wanted to take a look at the MSI GX720, just one of a number of gaming setups from MSI. For starters, the GX720 looks great. The red-orange accents really make the laptop look fast and sleek. And, as it turns out, the speedy look translates to a speedy core, too. With a 2.5 GHz Intel Centrino 2 processor and 4 GB of RAM supporting a nVidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, you can’t really complain about speed. But, the Intel processor isn’t from the Extreme line and the graphics setup isn;t top of the line, either. Both are just suitable. And at 7 pounds, the GX720 is a pretty slim 17″ semi-gaming machine. And while this slightly older gamer may not last as a top gaming platform for too long, the media capabilities will keep it relevant for a while. Blue-Ray and HMDI support are present and accounted for. Overall, the GX720 is … Continue reading →

Toshiba Qosmio World’s First Laptop with Cell Processor Technology!

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:33:14 +0000

Toshiba launches world’s first laptop with cell processor technology called Qosmio! Aimed at the digital media market, I am betting this laptop could be popular among those who constantly need to fiddle and connect to their HDTV. “In terms of the Qosmio laptop brand, innovation is the key ingredient,” said Jeff Barney, vice president and general manager, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “The addition of the TOSHIBA Quad Core HD Processor marks a watershed moment in the multimedia and HD segments. Qosmio G55-Q802 laptop PC users now have the power and ability to control and manipulate their personal content with unmatched precision and speed while also enjoying their full DVD collections at resolutions up to 1080i.” The TOSHIBA Quad Core HD Processor was designed to better serve the creative process by alleviating the intense burden that’s placed on the CPU while handling a wide range of multimedia tasks, such as video transcoding. The complex task of transcoding and encoding a personal video project monopolizes a majority of the processing power of today’s advanced computer systems. Through the addition of the TOSHIBA Quad Core HD Processor, along with the combined strength of Intel’s latest Core(TM) 2 Duo processor(1) … Continue reading →

Alienware Launches Area 51 m17x 17-inch Laptop!

Laptop Pimp — Wed, 28 May 2008 02:24:18 +0000

Alienware launches their Area 51 m17x 17-inch laptop. Well, I am a big fan of 17-inch laptops even though there is the mini-laptop kraze in the air. The freakin’ laptop comes with a NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX with up to 1GB of dedicated graphics memory , which makes my mouth water. Of course, performace does come at price and you will be seeing at least $5,000 before you can experience ultimate gaming experience. The Verdict This is a fully customizable laptop so it can be a good desktop-substitute laptop for all your computing needs. But don’t buy it if you need a portable laptop, I doubt the battery will last with all the power consumption. The Area 51 does include many HD options so if you are going to hook up your HD LCD TV to your laptop, this is the ultimate laptop to get. Alienware computers are fast and powerful. Outfitting the Area-51 m17x notebook with the Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor, Alienware achieves benchmarks previously unimagined on a mobile system. HD video editing, audio mixing, 3D model rendering and other resource intensive applications suddenly seem less taxing when you have the power of an Alienware behind you. via … Continue reading →
