The HP Pavilion 16” laptop Review

The Pavilion from HP is a real robust piece of equipment that offers the user an excellent sixteen inch display. It is also finished off in a beautiful onyx shade with a chrome finish. The whole idea is to put across a vision of liquid metal and you have say that it works very nicely indeed.

Asus Eee 1008HA Seashell Netbook Review

Our review partner Digital Trends tested the Asus Eee 1008HA Seashell Netbook and published this review.
Quote from the review: "Strip away the plastic shell, aluminum cladding and Chiclet-style keys, and every netbook boils down to almost exactly the same hardware. They all seem to share about 90 percent of their DNA – which is why many companies are starting to look past the stagnant hardware inside and turning to the outside as a way to stand out.


Asus already joined the party with the fashion-savvy S101, then with the metal-clad 1002HA, and now continues its quest for thin with the 1008HA Seashell. It may not pull anything unusual under the hood, but super-slim dimensions and a sleek shell make it one of the most lust-worthy netbooks we’ve laid eyes on."

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Review

Well, Dell. What can you do? If you are one of the largest suppliers of PC laptops out there, I suppose you don’t have to offer the best products, as you have a built-in market share and name recognition. I’ve never been a huge Dell fan for this reason, and the new Dell Inspiron Mini 12 laptop does little to regain my faith in the mega-company.

And while Laptop Magazine gave the Mini 12 a decent review, most the buzz on the net is pretty tame.


Not to start out too negative, the Mini 12 has some redeeming qualities; a 12″ display, a super slim frame and a nearly full keyboard. The slim design and lack of an optical drive make it a prime competitor for the MacBook Air. And with a standard Dell low price of around $650, it’s hard to complain. But that’s where the fun ends and reality kicks in.

You can see it clearly in the specs, the thin frame is where the comparison to the MacBook Air ends. The 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor makes for pretty sluggish performance with the pre-loaded Vista. And with only 1 GB of RAM, don’t think you will be doing anything more than simple computing and a bit of Internet browsing, because you aren’t going to get gaming or high-end video/photo editing performance out of the Mini 12.

The folks over at Gadget Review and Mobile Mag tend to agree with the Laptop Magazine reviewers, too. So the Internet consensus says avoid the Mini 12 unless it’s small size and price are enough to sell you on lame specs.

And, the limited specs:

* Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Basic
* Processor: Intel Atom Z530
* Processor Speed: 1.6 GHz
* RAM: 1 GB
* Weight: 3.2 lb
* Screen Size: 12 inches
* Graphics: Intel GMA 500
* Storage Capacity: 60 GB
* Networking Options: 802.11 a/g
* Primary Optical Drive: n/a

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Review

Lenovo is best known for its excellent ThinkPad business laptops, but also offers entry-level machines via its 3000 Series. The IdeaPad range strikes a balance between the two, with the U350 offering a combination of mobility, usability and corporate features.

Where Lenovo’s other laptops use stark but functional black designs, a more consumer-friendly design is used here. The textured plastic lid and faux brushed-aluminium palm-rest provide a look that will suit the home or office, and build quality is excellent throughout.

The slim chassis weighs 1.7kg, making this ultraportable ideal for frequent travel use. The large but slim battery is neatly integrated into the chassis, and it allows the machine to run for 261-minutes when away from mains power, easily keeping you working for half the day.

The quality of the user interface is mixed. The keyboard is large and spacious and all keys respond accurately, but the board flexes and rattles slightly when typing. The model we saw was a pre-production build however, so this will hopefully be rectified on final samples.

The large touchpad is far more usable. It also supports multi-touch gesture control, allowing you to move your fingers in a circle on the pad to scroll through documents, or pinch your fingers together to zoom into images. It is a small touch, but works really well.

The 13.3-inch screen is excellent. Brightness, colour and contrast are outstanding, delivering sharp and vibrant images. The widescreen aspect ratio is ideal for viewing spreadsheets and an ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness according to your surroundings.

Low-powered components are used to deliver optimum performance within the confines of the small chassis. The low-voltage Intel processor and 3072MB of memory provide enough power for most home and office tasks, but isn’t the best configuration for frequent multi-tasking.

Ample storage is provided by the 320GB hard drive and the disk is shock-protected, to prevent damage to your data if you drop the laptop. There is unfortunately no built-in optical drive for CD/DVD use, but a 3-in-1 card reader allows access to flash memory cards.

802.11n Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet provide high-speed networking. The integrated camera also supports VeriFace login software, whereby it remembers your facial characteristics, and lets you login to Windows by simply looking into the camera.

Overall, the IdeaPad U350 finds a comfortable balance between Lenovo’s high-end ThinkPad and entry-level 3000 ranges. It may not be the best ultraportable we’ve seen, but it’s nevertheless a highly usable machine, and is sure to suit small to medium business use.
