Review Acer Aspire 5920-6954

The Acer Aspire 5920-6954 from sliding under the brand name of $ 1000 to $ 999 (Update: 2/7/08), and 's in value every penny. Except for business applications which it lacks, these Vista Home Premium laptop was just above the Home Office could ask the buyer for a solid-budget laptop.

The notebook has otherwise without snapshot. It has a black and cream color on the path of cases by the accents of blue, including a large, easy-to-Press triangle formed access button in the corner of the keyboard as sentence a High-Tech-Saphir (hence Acer & # 39, known as "gems" limit).

of 7.3 pounds, the Aspire 5920-6954 is the most severe budget, we laptop, but it has a 250GB hard drive and a fairly clear by 15.4 inches (it & # 39; something to his thinking). Although it does not exceed a few things such as Bluetooth, 5920-6954, the high definition camera ready here, including an HDMI port and HD-DVD players. It has a subwoofer its better than average and a handy volume-Rad. The keyboard has the burden of grandiose shortcut keys, do everything, but you take the trash. A game on the left side of the keyboard, starts applications. A second right hand with the line of control multimedia, including an Instant-On key with which you play music and movies without booting Windows. A mouse button between keys scroll documents in all four directions.

Finally, it is the only sub-$ 1000 laptop, we verified that a dedicated graphics chip - nVidia GeForce 8600M GS with 256 MB of memory. Thus, it was the only powerful enough to properly play 3D games, as in our testing Doom 3 and Far Cry. Its frames per second rate of Christmas trees 't the highest we ' ve for a laptop, but more than enough for a smooth, glitch-free play.

With a 1.66 GHz Core 2 Duo T5450 and 2 GB of memory, the Aspire 5920-6954 earned a solid reference World 6 Beta 2, 70, the second best laptop on the budget Chart. The score is five points higher than the average group of 65, and a point better than the average of 70 per deserved recently tested 16 multi-laptops in each price category. The battery was on average 3.8 hours.

The cost of applications is the Acer Aspire 5920-6954 Spill significantly above $ 1000, but if you can afford a little protzen, it brings a little more style to your home.

Review Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 Laptop

Lenovo 's ThinkPad line is synonymous with business class, but the company ' s recent series IdeaPad tried to fly coach. Indeed, Lenovo 's sub-$ 1000 IdeaPad Y510 vault in the waters of our most recent laptops multi-chart, largely on the strength of its design Smarts.

The Y510 'company responsiveness keyboard doesn ' t bend the finger tip pressure - and this is a good thing, because you don 't want your keyboard diving, as you write. The case has made great hinges that allow the display of position on the best viewing angle. The laptop 's rock-solid construction extends over a hard surface textured carbon Display coverage. He feels like his big brother durable, the ThinkPad.

Lenovo stacked many extras in the $ 900 Notebook: A Web-cam capable sat atop the screen and works well with facial recognition software. The speaker Dolby provide good medium and high sounds, and a subwoofer integrated very low blows below the unit.

A large number of shortcut keys touchsensitive line-sized keyboard and a hand-Novo serves as a button One-Touch Power Management Tool. The button Novo-isn 't also handy that the key ThinkVantage Software Suite are used as models Lenovo ThinkPad X300, but they ' s not bad. The device 's spacious 250GB hard drive is another asset.

Still, the laptop 's 1.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 CPU delivered only mediocre performances deserve a value of 70 to World Reference 6 The Y510 essential tasks of the ; computers, but they 'no speed demon. The

Y510 mark also sent an average lifespan of the battery, survivors of 3 hours, 42 minutes on a single shipment. It is interesting to note that these Lenovo with the Acer Aspire 5920-6954 almost step by step, despite costs about $ 100 less. The Y510 's 1200 by 800 pixels, the display resolution is a screen that ' s more than mirror monitor. Even after I announced cubits 'brightness to an end at their maximum, my thinking has remained visible because of the glare.

Despite the announcement dilemma, this model is a solid effort Lenovo in a court of consumers central public. The Y510 provides a wide range of multimedia features for a good price.

HP Pavilion dv2660se

The $ 899 (Update: 2/7/08) HP Pavilion dv2660se budget proposes strictly performance, but their lifespan of the battery and design make it a laptop under our 1000 winners of $ dv2660se (The SE is "special edition") comes with a 1.5 GHz Core 2 Duo T5250 processor with 2 GB of memory on the laptop 'Intel 965 Express graphics integrated. The laptop 's World Reference 6 Beta 2 points out of 67 is well below the peak scores of the eighties with some laptops the last bullet mobile, but they' s not bad for a budget of the machine.

indeed, the partition of the average time of 65 earned by the five sub-$ 1000 laptops tested for the roundup and is just five points below the average for all multi-laptops that we have & # 39; ve tested later, whatever the price. However, Don't expect graphics performance well enough for 3D games.

The battery was a little less surprising. These six books device 's high capacity of 12 cells in a battery has reached 6.3 hours on a charge of our tests. The approximately 2.5 hours more than the average-Mainstream laptop. The way the big battery protrudes from the base of the laptop is not the dv2660se most cases bags or backpack-friendly model in our test Bunch, but there is a keyboard tilt very pleasant and comfortable for additional input. The An-of-touch button, slightly concave keys and mouse buttons deeply depressing typing help, too.

This whole development of Windows Vista Home Premium is available only on the best computer 'll listed under budget. On the one hand, that the last HP 's Designer line of laptops, this model is stamped with a pattern incorporated - package branches that draper partway on the touchpad as a vine.

Another is the nice extra Notebook 'Instant-on the capacity on DP ' s Play-Quick menu, a touch-sensitive media control panel on top of the keyboard, but you can play a CD or DVD, without the prior Windows and 'sa lot of time. Two other nice touches multimedia: a webcam and a headset to double connectors on the front, two people can listen in private, at a time. (Not that you really need a headset, because the built-in speakers and its pretty darn well without it.)

The 14.1-inch 1280-800 pixels, screen a little more clear, but they 's quite easy to read, and it has enough space to practice several windows open at the same time. The absence of dv2660se a few features more and more mainstream, such as 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and a fingerprint reader device. However, it has Wi-Fi 802.11g, which should be fairly quickly wireless connectivity for most. It also has a DVD burner and a location ExpressCard. And dv2600se is one of the few laptops in this price category to combine a complete set of productivity applications in the form of Microsoft Works 8.5.

Finally, dv2660se, most potential upgrade, thanks to a connection that all laptops have the HP Pavilion 's knife-like Swiss xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base. Even if you 're for an investment of several hundred dollars more, this state of storage of the dock you will better the hard disk and other stakeholders , A nice alternative for those who perhaps itching to improve the system later. Overall, dv2660se is quite impressive for household and kitchen deserves our Best Buy.

Review Dell Inspiron 1525 Value Laptop PC

If you don't that the specifications of the Dell Inspiron 1525 we tested, you can easily configure your own online. The 'a big difference between this unit and most other inexpensive laptops: you can down to the smallest details - even the lid of color - before finally clicking on the ' Buy & # 39; Touche. Our audit device which, for good performance is a priority. Equipped with 2 GB of memory and processor for laptops Dell offers for this model at the time of our audit (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250), our $ 999 (Update: 2/7/08) Windows Vista Home Premium machine deserves a reference World 6 Beta 2 of 78 of the clientele. The 's 17 percent faster than the average of 65 points earned by the five sub-$ 1000 laptops in this Roundup, and even 13 percent better than the average of 69 out of 16 tested recently won multi - laptops in each class prices. With the standard battery upgrade of the cell of four to six cells ($ 15 extra), our laptops took a fairly generous 4 hours, 4 minutes on a cargo of about 10 minutes longer than our budget five laptops test group 'S above average.

The only subject that the Inspiron 1525 can 't Handle is a 3D graphics with an integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 option and no dedicated graphics card, it ' S is limited to simple games and other applications 2D.

The 1525 is cuneiform, but thin 6 pounds, including a 15.4-inch 1280 x 800 resolution video, DVD burner and a good keyboard. The port of diversity and the layout is in order (the 1525 is one of the few laptops in this price category with an HDMI port). And as the excellent dv2600se HP Pavilion, 1525 are many multimedia entertainment enthusiasts who proposes: Instant-on a personal touch, Webcam, and even two outings helmet. Indeed, I like the Dell 's Media Direct affects more than the HP ' s Quick Play, because they Instant Office, a viewer application, with which you have access your schedule, your contacts and PowerPoint presentations. In addition, Dell 's volume runway is easier to use. Ah, the loudspeaker r�peuse retentissants take some of the splendours of the 1525 'call entertainment.

The real beauty of its customizability 1525. For example, our brilliant screen (a-no extra cost option at the time of our audit) was enough supervision, so you can maybe happier with Dell 'standard Antiglare Screen. Based on a $ 500 configuration, you can absolutely sub-$ 1000 laptop equipped with a cover of one of 11 different colors ($ 25 general rule, but in our model test 's price), Bluetooth ($ 20), a mobile broadband integrated map ($ 150) and even a wireless USB ($ 150).

Review Fujitsu LifeBook A6120 Laptop

The Fujitsu LIFEBOOK A6120 is a good performer, wears a reasonable price, and comes with most of the functions that you 'd expect a good round of the machine - except good autonomy.

Built to handle multimedia functions, which have earned a solid A6120 score of 84 on our benchmark 6 Test World Series. Despite its 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, A6120 finished far behind Sony 's VAIO VGN-SZ791N, zoom to a value of 94 Unfortunately, the A6120 ' battery of tests was a lean period of 2 hours, 36 minutes. The 'sa far from the default 6 hours, 19 minutes (with extended battery in place), HP ' dv2660se flag. The A6120 seems to be fairly stable, thanks to its hard plastic coating, but they 's big and clumsy advice on the scales at 6.3 pounds. The A6120's Spill keyboard has a finger friendly texture, unlike Panasonic ' s Toughbook CF-W7, including water treatment left the keys unpleasant slippery. The A6120 offers the key to a good distance and some good idea, but its cornerstone of a little under pressure. Some powerful taps on the arrows and keys nearby start scuba diving.

The link Panel application in the upper left corner of the keyboard is fully customizable, even if the keys are keilte as closely as I am obliged to bad start Web sites or applications. The first buttons are preset site links and the latter is a panic button for obtaining assistance tech-centric features - a link to an online version of the manual, a link with Web site assistance and quick access to information system. This Lifebook earns points for a large number of entries well-designed and options, including PC cards and PC-Express Card, USB and Firewire ports, a DVD-RW, and VGA S-Video Out and a SD / XD / Memory Stick slot.

YouTube contributors, as the webcam and microphone summit of the climb of 15.4-inch screen (supply-de-1280-800 pixels resolution). Complete with ArcSoft WebCam Companion, video-A6120, with a minimum base headaches. Even if the screen isn 't either very light, it is the job done. The A6120 doesn't win the laurel crown in a category, but it is pretty good prices on the right to evaluate as well (not good) Notebook.

Review Toshiba Satellite Pro A210-EZ2201

The basic needs could not the $ 699 (Update: 2/7/08) Toshiba Satellite Pro A210-EZ2201 acceptable. It 'laptop most favourable to our recently tested sub-$ 1000 the group, but it has very modest performance. Rather slow and with a little battery time, they 's easily outshone by most competitors. However, if coincements penny is a priority, Windows Vista Basic laptop Mainstream can work without too much fuss.
The only model in the group with an AMD processor (1.8 GHz Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core-TK-55), and only one in two only 1 GB of RAM, the Satellite Pro A210-World Ez2201 reached 6 Beta 2 Benchmark points only 54 Draft laptop-$ 1000 the average was 19% faster. Regarding the battery, the Satellite Pro A210-Ez2201 's of 2.2 hours was the shortest of 16 recently reviewed multi-laptops in each price category, pooping by 1.7 hours earlier than average.

Performance aside, this black and silver device works, some of the features of $ 700 for a laptop, including a DVD burner, a FireWire port and a location ExpressCard/54. There are even two surprises. It is a vacuum inside the bay of laptops for adding a second hard drive, if you 're also inclined. (A hard disk of 80 GB default.) �bersch�umend The other is clear, son. This low level belt portable music as Ugly Betty Pipe of Celine Dion.

But the keyboard, while easy to give, saw and felt cheaper, and the 15.4-inch, 1280-800-Solution on the screen the dark side, and vulnerable to glare. The controls brightness seemed to have no effect. Given that, much better than laptops cost $ 200 more, they 's difficult to recommend to the A210-Ez2201 with great enthusiasm. On the other hand, I 've never heard of a better portable retentissants this award. Music lovers, at least, a real treat customers here.

Review Sony VAIO VGN-SZ791N

The 4 pounds Sony VAIO VGN-SZ791N falls somewhere between a meat and a versatile ultra-portable computer. Thanks to the 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU (processor Penryn class, we see in some spare office for laptops) and its graphics card nVidia 8400GS, SZ World smoked our benchmark of Benchmarks 6 with a score of 94 laptops Among the multi-purpose, even Lenovo 's ThinkPad R61 and Fujitsu ' s Life Book A6120 able 't match this number is decreasing.

Beyond the strong performance of these likable laptop has several functions. Two keys customizable shortcuts above are based on the keyboard. You can with them, for a number of useful functions - several monitors Hibernate mode, brightness, adaptation, or overlook the time of recording Notebook central functions, for example. The SmartWi Wireless is a rapid diagnostic tool and fro for options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and integrated wireless wide area network (WAN Sprint Mobile Broadband). A little clumsy Wi-Fi antenna bars page booklet offers a slight barrier between the keyboard and the screen and can be against minors and ser-nique.

The 13.3-inch (1280 crunchy-on-800 pixels resolution) is lively and light, for different angles. If this is not yet beautiful sisters, with backlighting VAIO VGN-TZ295N, VGN-SZ791N. The display support of aluminum, portable feel an essential component, like the rest of good metal wrist.

Unfortunately, the keyboard uses a flat plastic box that made the seizure experiences. At least the buttons are sufficiently distant that you won 't Slip and click on the wrong key. The laptop 'is the worst feature of the mouse. Huge gaps between the ditches mounting cowardly left and right buttons on the mouse and the case. By clicking the left mouse button and from time to time, I began my finger into the abyss. A Power Management, you can switch between the speed and changing modes of endurance (for the latter, much more promising to support 3.21 hours). The tramway is convenient for simple settings, but why we have to restart the laptop? The SZ791N 'is undoubtedly the power, but the keyboard and mouse buttons asking questions about quality. And, given Sony 's asking price of $ 2500, we can ' t want to help, but for a little more.
