Apple MacBook Pro 15-Inch (Mid-2012) Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
 The latest Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Mid-2012), updates the classic laptop with Intel`s latest third-generation quad-core processor and adds USB 3.0 connections, which are arguably much more useful than the niche Thunderbolt port that Apple has invested so heavily in. The design, however, could use some updating as it is now feeling a bit dated."

Google Nexus 7 Tablet Review - XSReviews
|
|
The Google Nexus 7 is a fulfillment of a promise made last year by Nvidia, that they would soon offer a $200 tablet with the power of their latest quad-core mobile architecture. In practical terms, that means an Android tablet with the raw processing power of flagship tablets but costing a third of the price. The tablet, with Asus hardware and the latest Google Android software, offers one of the most compelling cases for tablet ownership yet at a 159 price point that UK customers have never experienced. As a friend of mine mentioned at the time, At that price, you can`t afford not to get one. Have Google crafted a masterpiece, or were too many corners cut to hit that remarkable price point? Let`s find out. A link to the article would be much appreciated."

|
|
The Sony VAIO Z is a very impressive laptop with interesting possibilities. It has the weight and the dimensions of an Ultrabook, but with the hardware of a full-size laptop. No ultra-low voltage processor, but a normal mobile processor with the option even of a quad-core model. Despite the powerful hardware inside, the VAIO Z still lasts about 5.5 hours.

Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review
|
|
Apple’s coveted Retina display has finally found its way to a full-size notebook courtesy of the latest MacBook Pro. But anyone familiar with this new system knows that Apple didn’t simply add a higher resolution display to the standard MacBook Pro frame. Instead, there’s an entirely reworked chassis that’s nearly as thin as the MacBook Air and weighs more than a pound less than the standard Pro.
Customers can also configure a Retina system with up to 16GB of RAM and 768GB of flash storage, versus a maximum of 8GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage on a standard Pro. But hey, who are we kidding, the only reason that most people are going to dish over the extra cash for Apple’s latest and greatest is the 2880 x 1800 resolution goodness of the Retina display. And I’ll go ahead and let you in a little secret: it’s a thing of beauty.

Toshiba Satellite U845W Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
Another Ultrabook has made its debut on the market and this time it`s the Toshiba Satellite U845W. It sports an attractive design, a beautiful ultra-widescreen display and solid performance. It does run quite hot at times and the keyboard could use some work. In all, it`s a worthy addition to the Ultrabook category."

Sony VAIO T13 review: Ultrabook according to Sony
|
|
The styling of the Sony VAIO T13 is characteristic for the sleek laptops of this Japanese manufacturer. It's of course a matter of personal taste, but we think it looks very good. You can clearly see the resemblance with the deluxe VAIO Z. The trademark screen is present, which raises the back somewhat into a more comfortable typing position. The Ultrabook itself is a bit of a mixed bag. It has excellent battery life, but the performance and display are subpar.

Google Nexus 7 Tablet Review @ Legit Reviews

We weren`t sure what kind of tablet experience we should expect for $199 when we started this review. After using the Nexus 7 for a bit we quickly found that this tablet to fully functional and extremely fast.

Incipio Macbook Pro 13 Honu and Selvage Laptop Sleeves @ Techreaction.net
|
|
Today we have more good-looking products from Incipio. They sent over two different sleeves for our 13 MBP, MacBook Pro. First we have the gray 13 Honu sleeve, then we have the 13 Selvage denim sleeve. These are not as much savers as they are protectors, which we will make clearer later in the review. The sleeves should be a perfect fit around our 13 MBP leaving little excess room. This is supposed to keep the weight down on the actual sleeve to make using them an option without breaking your back. Now, lets move on and get into the nitty-gritty review of these sleeves!"

We’re finally starting to see some action in the laptop market after a few stagnant months as manufacturers awaited the latest hardware to become available. Intel officially launched its Ivy Bridge architecture back in April, but it wasn’t until around May and June that the first laptops equipped with the new Core i chips started rolling out, bringing improved performance and battery life.
When choosing the right laptop it all comes down to what you are willing to spend and what you plan to use it for. This guide will help you navigate through the countless options out there. As usual, we've narrowed down our favorite notebooks and grouped them into five different categories: ultraportables, business and workstations, desktop replacements, gaming, and budget-oriented machines.

Apple MacBook Air 13" Mid-2012 Review
|
|
Steve Jobs unveiled the first MacBook Air in early 2008 to mixed reviews, but a series of redesigns and hardware refreshes through the years have resulted in a product line that has had a huge impact on the industry. PC makers have struggled to match the Air’s extremely thin and simplistic design, prompting Intel to announce the ultrabook initiative at Computex in 2011.
New for the 2012 MacBook Air is the Intel Ivy Bridge processor sporting Intel HD 4000 graphics, higher capacity storage and memory options, as well as an improved 720p Facetime HD camera, and support for USB 3.0. The 13-inch system also received a $100 price cut, now starting at $1,199.

Acer Aspire TimelineU M3: a large Ultrabook
|
|
Ultrabook is the term for the latest generation laptops using efficient Intel processors. Until now only smaller models were available, equipped with an 11.6-inch, 13-inch or 14-inch screens. Now the first larger Ultrabooks are beginning to emerge, such as the Acer Aspire TimelineU M3 that we are reviewing here. It sounds like the perfect combination, an Ultrabook with a 15.6-inch display. It's light, relatively fast and has a nice, large screen. The Acer Aspire M3 weighs under 2 kg, has a pretty fast SSD, and thanks to the GeForce GT640M you can definitely play video games in 1366x768 resolution. Moreover, the battery life is very good.
