Toshiba Portege R700-S1310 Laptops Specs

Toshiba has unboxed its new Laptop model Toshiba Portege R700-S1310. It features Protect and Fix with hard drive protection designed to help protect your laptop and its data in the case of a fall.

The Toshiba Portege R700-S1310 laptop includes 13 inches of wide screen display and an HDMI port, so you can watch high-definition movies on the big screen – right from your laptop. You can video-chat with friends and family around the world with a convenient built-in webcam and microphone.Resilient design
As well as being thin and light, the chassis is incredibly tough. Only the lid feels flimsy, but is in fact designed to flex under pressure, reducing the risk of cracking.

The 13.3-inch screen uses transflective LED screen technology for optimum visibility indoors and out, and the panel provides great colour and contrast.

Usability is less impressive, although this could be a result of our pre-production test machine, with the isolated-style keyboard proving one of the spongiest we've used.

To keep the chassis as light as possible, a 128GB Solid State Drive (SSD) has been used rather than a standard 2.5-inch hard drive. While SSDs are less prone to data loss caused by knocks and bumps and also provide very fast access to your data, the limited storage space is an unfortunate trade-off.

More pleasing is the fact that Toshiba has managed to squeeze a DVD rewriter into such a small laptop, for read/write access to CDs and DVDs.

Connectivity is also top-notch, courtesy of 802.11n Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet. There's also a 3G module for wireless broadband access.

Even at this pre-production stage, we're very impressed by the Portege R700. While there are a few minor niggles, we're confident they will all be resolved for mass-production and this is sure to be a big winner for Toshiba.Toshiba Portege R700-S1310 Specifications:

* 13.3 inches of wide screen display

Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 15.4 inch Laptops Review

Fujitsu is a fine maker of quality laptops. I've always felt that they were a class above Toshiba, Acer, and other similarly branded laptop brands. Indeed, you will find the quality of components they use is top-class - kind of similar to Sony.

In this article, we will take a look at the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 laptop. This is one of the latest laptops to come out equipped with Intel's latest Penryn processor.

It comes with the latest Intel processor technology, along with 3GB of RAM and above-the-mark features. If you can overlook the slightly short battery life, the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is a good laptop to consider buying.

1. Overview

First up, let's take an overall view of the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210. This machine comes with an Intel Penryn processor, loads of RAM and wonderful features. One of the good things you get from Fujitsu is it's direct channel. Here, you can add or subtract features from your laptop (much like how Dell or HP does it).

2. Design

Next, let's have a look at the design. The Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 comes as an updated version of the LifeBook A6030. You will find that the gray of the exterior is now darkened. The look of the machine is kinda clunky, but it is quite light at 6.2 pounds. While it cannot compare to the Apple MacBook pro 15-inch (which weighs 5.5 pounds), it is definitely decent enough in terms of size and weight.

3. Display

The display screen on the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is an ample 15.4 inches and allows you to watch movies and play games very comfortably. The color reproduction is crisp and sharp, and you'll have no complaints with image resolution or clarity.

3. Keyboard and Other Controls

The keyboard on the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is very nice to type on. If you've used the Dell M1530 before, however, you will find the LifeBook A6210 to be slightly less responsive. However, it is still a great keyboard nonetheless.

4. Ports and Connections

There are ample ports on the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210. You get 5 USB ports, a FireWire port, S-Video, a VGA-out and 802.11a/g network connectivity. You will also like the integrated webcam, as well as multiple expansion slots. For digital photo buffs, there's a nice four-in-one card reader that takes Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro modules.

5. Battery Life

The 43-Wh battery in the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is not very spectacular in terms of life. Studies have shown it lasts for only about 3 hours. You might want to invest in a separate battery or bring a full-charged battery each time you are out and about using this laptop.

6. Shortcomings

Besides the clunky look of the laptop, the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is also a tad on the expensive side. Another small gripe is the lack of 802.11n network connectivity support. If you're looking for more bang for your buck, two interesting competing laptops to consider include the Dell XPS M1530 and HP Pavilion dv6500t.Conclusion

The Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is a tad expensive for its feature set, but it does provide strong competition against Dell and HP. You find the latest Intel processing technology, along with 3GB of RAM and above-the-mark features. If you can overlook the slightly short battery life, the Fujitsu LifeBook A6210 is a good laptop to consider buying.

The Fujitsu LifeBook A6210's $1,349 price tag may seem a bit high for a midsize laptop, especially considering that many similarly sized systems cost less than $1,000. But the Fujitsu has a number of features that help justify the higher price: namely, a built-in Blu-ray drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics (designed for high-definition video), and an HDMI port, all of which let the laptop double as a Blu-ray player. To those, Fujitsu adds Bluetooth and wireless USB connections, a gesture-enabled touch pad, and an eSATA port. That feature set remains unmatched in the midsize category (though the $1,249 HP Pavilion dv5-1015nr comes close). While we're still not sure how large the market for a 15-inch Blu-ray-equipped laptop is, we do think the LifeBook A6210 is a decent choice for people who want to balance typical computer work with a fair amount of high-def media consumption. However, those who can live without the Blu-ray player would be better served by the $979 Dell Studio S1535-125B.

HP EliteBook 8560P 15.6 -inch notebook review

The HP EliteBook 8560p is the largest EliteBook with a 15.6 display and is accompanied by a smaller 14 EliteBook 8640p notebook. This notebook is bundled with a lot of fabulous features including 15.6 inches of LED backlit display screen with 1366 x 768 pixel of screen resolution and 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6740 graphics card. Empowered with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processor this new HP EliteBook 8560P business notebook is embedded with Express Card/54 slot.

HP smartbuy elitebook 8560p intel core i5-2520m processor (2.5 ghz 3 mb l3 cache) 15.6-inch diagonal led-backlit hd anti-glare (1600 x 900) 720p hd webcam 320 gb 7200 rpm 2.5-inch hard drive 4 gb 1333 mhz ddr3 sdram (1d) dvd rw supermulti dl lightscribe drive integrated fingerprint reader intel centrino advanced-n 6205 + bluetooth 10/100/1000 nic 56k v.92 modem 1 gb amd radeon hd 6470m hp 6-cell 62 wh li-ion HP EliteBook 8560p battery standard: hp protecttools 15 central management capable tpm embedded security chip 1.2 enhanced pre-boot security hp spare key (requires initial user setup) hp disk sanitizer 23 enhanced drive lock drive encryption for hp protecttools credential manager for hp protecttools file sanitizer for hp protecttools security lock slot smart card reader genuine windows 7 professional 64 os10.

Graphics capabilities in our test model were solely from the 2540M’s on-chip Intel HD graphics. 3D Mark 11 refused to run, citing lack of DX 11 support. However, in Cinebench OpenGL tests it performed similarly to the Lenovo T510’s Nvidia GeForce 3100M dedicated graphics card. Against higher-end Nvidia and AMD solutions, it was left in the dust.

The aircraft-inspired “Duracase” is subjected to improvised durability tests (based on the MIL-SPEC 810G specs) that involve drops, moisture, and vibrations, according to HP. The steel latches are replaced with titanium ones, to prevent torqueing. Underneath all that aluminum is a magnesium-bonded inner skeleton, for added strength.

The bulk and weight (nearly 3kg) make it unsuitable for frequent travellers (unless you’re doing regular longhaul flights that may make the extended super-long-life HP EliteBook 8560p AC adapter worth investing in). If you intend to work desk-bound with a dock, only moving down the hall to the meeting room, or carting your laptop home at the end of the day, this is going to give you the best value for money by far.
