Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 reviewed by Laptop Magazine

The grand-daddy of Laptop websites (perhaps), has posted their review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 laptop. The IdeaPads are Lenovo's consumer-tier laptops, while the ThinkPads are reserved for the business and professional users.

Lenovo has been trying hard to make a dent in the consumer world with their IdeaPad models, infact, they even launched a new model that sells for $430 out of the gate (see IdeaPad G530).

The Y450 is part of a trio, the smaller of the three. We won't spoil the findings here, check the full review at the Laptop Magazine for all the details!

Fujitsu Lifebook T5010 reviewed at CNet UK

CNet has just recently posted their findings on the Fujitsu Lifebook T5010. The review is coming from their UK branch. As you may know, CNet is a globaly network of websites and contributors, with content arriving from different parts of the world, including Singapore, the UK and the US.

This is, as the model name suggests, a tablet-type laptop, with a stylus-based touchscreen and all. This has a 13.3" widescreen display which contributes to a higher price than non-convertible models.

Check their review for their findings, where you will discover a not-so-pleasant surprise on battery life.

Another HP 8730w review, this time at NotebookReview.com

In addition to the Laptop Magazine review, also posted was a review of the HP 8730w workstation laptop by NoteBookReview.com. And as you can expect, a 17-inch "DreamColor" laptop is raising the expectations, with its BluRay burner and all.

Of course this is one of those laptops where the options and configurations can go all over the places, from the mid $1500s to the high $4000s. It's good to have options!

Dell Latitude 2100 reviewed by Laptop Magazine

You don't need attitude to get a Dell Latitude, but having one, will get you one! This is intended to be a student netbook, and being a Latitude means it can take more beating, which is a good idea considering that students are more "active" than your typical "business user".

So, how does it do? Will it be a good match for the hyperactive students out there, overloaded on sugary energy drinks and caffeine? One way to find out, check the Laptop Magazine review!

HP EliteBook 8730w review at Laptop Magazine

Laptop Magazine got busy again and delivered a review of this workstation-caliber 17-incher from HP, the EliteBook 8730w. This is by no means a laptop for the faint of pocket, and its 15-million colour display certainly adds to the price as it goes over $3000. So is it worth it? Check the review to find out!

Toshiba Protege A605 tested out at Notebook Review

Notebook Review has just e-published their review of the Toshiba Protege A605, a 12.1" widescreen little laptop. This is a laptop, with a dual-core processor, not a "grown" netbook. And it is indeed priced like a laptop, because for its price, you can buy about three EeePCs or Aspire Ones.

But if you need a laptop and you need small size, then take a look at the review to see whether this cutesy little laptop is good enough for you.

Acer Aspire One 531 reviewed at NotebookCheck.net

The Aspires are multiplying like crazy, but NotebookCheck.net keeps them organized for us with their brand new review of the Aspire One 531. Lots of pictures and numbers of and from the laptop, so be sure to check out their review findings. And bookmark it until you can memorize the different "One" model numbers :-)

The red Lenovo S10 gets reviewed by PC Magazine

PC Magazine has just posted their review of the red Lenovo IdeaPad S10, the company's first serious attempt at a netbook computer. With the netbook market getting very competitive the last few months, it is quite interesting to see what they found out. Which is where the comparative performance table comes in handy, using the SysMark 2007 benchmark suite to get all of those numbers you see there.

Gateway MD2601 gets the Laptop Mag treatment

Their subscriptions may be running behind schedule, but the Laptop Magazine reviews keep on coming in waves! The latest one is the Gateway MD2601u, another affordable bang-for-the-buck type of an attempt by Acerway (Acer+Gateway) to take advantage of their well-known brand in the US market.

This is a $500 laptop, so please keep that in mind when you are comparing it with other laptops out there :)

Samsung N120 (12GBK) review by PC Magazine

The now online-only PC Magazine has posted their findings on the Samsung N120-12GBK netbook, a 10-incher with a higher price tag than the competitors, such as the Acer Aspire One, which we just mentioned. However, the NC120 has something that will be music to the ears of road warriors, the review found the battery life to be almost eight hours. That's right, a full time job's worth of time, as long as you turn it off during lunch time :)

And if you are a numbers geek, be sure to check their performance results.
