Dell Inspiron 1526 Review!

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:56:20 +0000

I have to say that after using my Dell Inspiron 1525 for couple months, I highly recommend Dell’s new 1526 series too. Least but not least, Dell as a company have changed their product line drastically over the years through innovative engineering and basically more money in engineering. The Dell Inspiron 1526 features 15.4″ screen with 1280×800 pixel resolution, AMD Turion Dual-Core TL-60 2.0Ghz Processor, 4 gigs of ram, 250GB hard drive, Wifi, Webcam, and 8X DVD Read/Write drive.

Toshiba Portege A600 Review

Laptop Pimp — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:12:24 +0000

Toshiba rolls out a new 12.1″ widescreen laptop loaded with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU9300, 3GB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz SDRAM, 160GB HDD, DVD, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, and webcam. Toshiba’s new Portege A600 will allow you to watch HD movies except there’s one important thing missing, there’s no DVI outputs for connecting to your HDTV. If that’s something you don’t care about, this is a great laptop but still, I’d have to say the pricing is a little bit higher than it’s specs. Another plus feature is its USB Sleep-and-Charge/eSATA Combo Port as said: Plug into more speed and convenience. Charge your smart phone and any other USB powered portable electronics even when your laptop is off. Or get faster transfer rate when using an external eSATA hard drive. Either way, this Portege laptop gives you the ports you need to get the job done. This is a minor feature that I would rather pay less than have the extra feature. Overall, if you like Toshibas, this is a good laptop but I’d still rather get a $600 Dell, which would be about the same minus memory, webcam, and stuff I don’t really absolutely need. via … Continue reading →

Toshiba NB100 – Eee PC Killer?

Laptop Pimp — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 04:39:08 +0000

Toshiba will be launching their first line of netbooks in the U.K., will they be able to be touted as Eee PC Killers? I think not as ASUS already has gone way too far ahead of everyone else. There’s no word on detailed specs yet but we will keep you updated. The 8.9n screen comes in at 1024×600, making some netbooks look weedy by comparison. You’ll be able to use it to make video calls thanks to the 0.3MP webcam and get online with either Wi-Fi or Ethernet. via stuff a 10.2" Netbooks, 3mp, 9n, killers, Laptop News, Laptop Rumors, Netbook Reviews, Netbook Reviews, pc killer, toshiba, Toshiba Laptop, webcam, wi fi

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Netbook, Mini-notebook, or Mini-laptop is it?

Laptop Pimp — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:48:57 +0000

Lenovo is introducting its own line of mini-laptops, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. Check out the specs: The 10-inch 1024 x 600-pixel (WSVGA) resolution screen also looks extremely promising and is LED backlit for power saving. The speakers lining the front of the system also give it a different look and will hopefully blast out some decent sound as they aren’t buried on the bottom. Lenovo has seemed to work in all the important ports. The netbook includes Bluetooth connectivity, 802.11b/g , and an ExpressCard for popping in a mobile broadband card. It also sports a LAN connection and VGA-out. It has a 1.3-megapixel webcam, two USB ports, mic and headphone jacks, and a 4-in-1 card reader. I am hesitant about only 2 USB ports. via engadget – laptopmag a 802 11b, card reader, decent sound, expresscard, headphone jacks, lan connection, Laptop News, laptopmag, laptops, lenovo, Lenovo Laptops, mic, mini laptop, mini notebook, resolution screen, speakers, usb ports, webcam

Is ASUS Eee PC 4G for you?

Laptop Pimp — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:38:19 +0000

The ASUS Eee PC 4G may be the best 7″ mini-notebook on the market today. The question is, is it for you? Well, you can decide for yourself after looking at these specs: Get the power of a full-sized laptop in the ultra-compact ASUS Eee PC 4G, which offers a full QWERTY keyboard, 7-inch screen, and preinstalled Linux operating system. (This laptop is also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.) You’ll be able to stay connected to email and the Internet easily thanks to the Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), and communicate via video chat and VoIP with the Webcam integrated into the display’s bezel. Because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 4 GB of storage), the Eee PC is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags. I do like it because of the fact that it’s about the price of an iPhone, yet you can do so much.
