review

This laptops comes with Intel® Pentium® Processor T4400 and a memory of 4gb DDr3,screen size is quite good and big of 15.6 inches.It weighs around  5.86 lbs and color is matte silver.With display resolution of 16:9 aspect ration, it supports 720p content,though we miss the webcam,bluetooth.It can be called as good lappy.It doesn’t have modem port and battery life cannot be considered as ideal as it stands upto 2.96 hours.Tablet PCs have met the ENERGY STAR 4.0 standard since it was established in 2007.

Other things which we miss here are

No PC Express Slot
No SmartCard Reader slot

u6v Bamboo – a touch of environment in laptop

The main feature of this laptop is its design.It has got wooden panels which are really impressive in looking.It also feels good to the touch, and, most importantly, doesn’t compromise the usability of the laptop. When you touch the surface of this laptop then you will fell like you are touching a wooden furniture.Bamboo is also capable of regenerating itself upon harvesting without necessitating replanting, making it possibly the perfect renewable resource.The company is touting its green credentials with this laptop, as bamboo is a plentiful, renewable and recyclable material.The display is LED backlit, is thinner and lighter than the traditional LCD panel and features a 1280 x 800 resolution. An optical drive is included and you will be running on Windows Vista® Business.

Asus UL30A (Review)

| cheap computers - refurbished computers - computer stores | March 9, 2010

UL30A

review

It has 13.3-inch LED-backlit HD high definition display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, supported by an integrated Intel® GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics processor for cinematic visual quality.It has good battery life which i think almost every working person would want to have,then the light weight (3.3 lbs) which makes it easier to handle.It is slim in design with height of just 1 inch.And the most good part of this lappy is that it is under $100
which makes it a perfect buy.It also provides users with the option to turn off hardware devices to conserve even more energy, and works in conjunction with an Intel® Core™2 Duo CULV processor for maximum energy efficiency.There are two silver buttons on the top left and right of the keyboard tray. One is the power button, while the other launches a pre-boot Express Gate quick-start environment, with a Web browser, a music player, an online gaming portal, and a photo viewer.
