Windows Vista is everything consumers asked for in a new Windows, which was stability and security enhancements. However, in order to get those promises, Microsoft killed performance badly. Even on...
Say what you will about Microsoft, but Windows Vista is all right. I replaced XP Professional with Vista Business on my MacBook (soon thereafter, I replaced OS X Tiger with Leopard), and I have to...
I am amazed that MS has a system out there for business that to date does not do one thing faster or better than the previous OS (XP). I've yet to find an advantage over XP from a business...
It's been five years in the making. Hundreds of thousands of man hours have gone into its development. Millions of words have already been written about it. Some have already written it off, others...
Samsung Q1 ultra-mobile PC Microsoft's "Project Origami" falls a little flat. Don't call it a tablet PC, or a laptop. This is Project Origami in the flesh - the first Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC),...
Make no mistake, netbooks when compared with full-featured notebooks or PCs, do not perform the same tasks with the same speed due to less CPU power and the small form factor. Netbooks are perfect...
There are obviously problems with 1) the machine and 2) Asus as a company, since they've had a defective product for over one month and can not tell me when they may get around to fixing the...
I bought this new Vaio notebook but the software Windows Vista that came installed with it is not working with my files, even Word and Excel files are not running properly..
I got frustrated at the beginning, but love it now!
I bought this TZ250N/P from Amazon on April 3rd, when the price was $2099. I don't need to comment on how stylish this laptop is, because sony TZ is famous for its good looking. The first time I...
by Kevin O'Brien The Sony TZ is the latest offering from Sony in the ultra portable market. With its small size and extreme low weight, it is a must on any business traveler's notebook list. The...
Apple originally introduced the MacBook in May 2006 as the successor to the older iBook G4 and 12-inch PowerBook series. This notebook was designed with student and adult consumers in mind and with...
good value for a netbook. You need a windows software and a DVD/CD-ROM to get the rest of the stuff in windows onto your computer if you really need them, for example, the language package for...
While there are many different netbooks on the market, one of the models that has been selling quite well and is popular with many enthusiasts is the IdeaPad S10 from Lenovo. The Lenovo IdeaPad...
If there’s one problem plaguing just about every netbook out on the market right now, it’s that cheap, toy-like feel. Manufacturers just can’t seem to escape it when they’re having their...
The netbook market has certainly graduated from the realm of novelty and the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA clearly exemplifies this notion. While the early Eee PC had a tiny seven-inch display and a barely...
I've owned four netbooks, including the first Eee Pc. This one is, easily, my favorite. It's about as small as these things get. It's priced right and it's the quickest netbook I've used....
This is a great little computer got it 3 days ago (arrived in 2 days- WELL DONE buy.com)so far it has been working pretty well. Today, however, the battery charger died. The computer is under...
Overall this is a great, reasonably priced netbook. Unlike others who think netbooks are laptops, to me they really are just something to take along when my full powered, much larger HP laptop is...
"Quick, small (but not too small), solid, fully featured"
This netbook delivers. I chose the Intel Atom processor N280 over the N270 for additional processing power. I also chose to have installed 2 Gig of RAM instead of the base 1 Gig. Both choices are...
Though notebook manufacturers have managed to make netbooks ultra portable by shrinking down just about everything and doing away with nonessentials like optical drives, one aspect of being small...
"Good size, excellent battery, very good performance"
After the 2GB RAM upgrade, this is quite an excellent machine. I chose this over all the others for the battery life, and it doesn't disappoint. Maybe it's just me, but I've always had difficulty...

The ASUS EeePC 1000HA BLK026 is exactly the type of computer I expected when paying ~$300. If you're expecting the 1000HA to handle large Excel spreadsheets or if you're doing major research while...
While it's hard for us to weigh design over performance when looking at a laptop, products such as the Lenovo IdeaPad U350 make it a little easier. As another entry in the growing field of...

Panasonic Toughbooks have long been known as some of most resilient laptops around, and the Toughbook 30 continues the trend. This fully rugged notebook may not be the best performer on the block,...

Great for the right applications, not for everything
I have to start by saying I love the concept of UMPCs. The idea of not carrying around my heavy laptop is wonderful. But the the Samsung Q1 is not a 100% replacement. I have had my UMPC for...
Screen intermittant right out of box-- twist the case a little and would come on and off-- finally started to work-- alas-- 2 weeks later completely laid down-- no screen output--( sent it back...
While Samsung has gone a long way to improve the original Q1, the role of UMPCs in-between laptops and PDAs remains questionable. The impossibly small keyboard and lack of a built-in optical drive...
This has been a great handheld computer to read ebooks, check email and browse the net on. It cannot really do multiple things at once and it needs more memory. But, it is a good buy for what you...
The slim, light Fujitsu LifeBook T2010 convertible tablet has the longest battery life we've seen, as well as a versatile screen suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. This $2558 unit (as of...
well worth the price...kind of wish the keys were backlit, because super-bright screen can cause eyes to strain if using the unit in the dark....external keyboard is gonna be my next purchase, but...

This is the ideal machine to run 64-bit Linux: the chipset is perfectly supported by Ubuntu. Just junk Vista! With Ubuntu the sluggishness goes away. While small, it can be upgraded to disks up to...
My 8-cell battery died after about one year. My previous x31 doesn't have this issue. The replacement battery costs $179. The extended warranty doesn't cover battery and battery warranty is limited...
"It's been three and a half weeks, and still no computer"
Just a warning to future customers that I am shocked at how long it has taken to receive the computer from the company. The initial delivery estimate was about 10 days, which I thought was on the...

I do not recommend Lenovo ThinkPad X61 . In this day and age I think we can expect to get stable Windows machines out of the box, and this one certainly has not been stable in my experience. 2...
We were very impressed with the X60 when we reviewed it back in 2006. Its successor, the X61, hasnt really changed much, apart from bringing in faster components. The chassis is so sturdy, rigid...
