Friday, August 21st, 2009

acer8930gAspire 8930G is a large and impressive laptop with lots of muscles and luxury, and although it also has small defects, such as FireWire, we are very excited.

Acer laptop has a good  large  screen, and as an added bonus it also has the high HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In combination with the built in 5.1 surround speakers and Blu-ray drive Aspire 8930G is a pure pleasure to see Blu-ray movies.

But the roses do not stop here, for the processor and graphics card also delivers a topydelse that makes Aspire 8930G able to play the graphics-intensive 3D games and work with heavy image and video processing. With the big screen is Acer laptop in return also heavy, so one should not expect to tow too much around it.

It has of course full keyboard with the numeric keys, and it is in possession of touch-sensitive media shortcuts (including play / pause, stop, forward, back) called CineDash. CineDash working well enough, but sometimes they can be a bit dim-witted when you for example try to increase or decrease the volume.

Generally, the basic configuration with strong support for the fastest network standards, a large hard drive and a webcam, which sits in the frame of the screen. There is also a small microphone.

HP HDX X16-1000eo – Review

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

hpx162HP’s laptop can be used for everything. And we are especially pleased with the luxury details such as speakers, TV tuner, web camera and screen.

HP HDX X16 is a versatile notebook with good design. The screen is razor sharp and really good to show the variety that actually looks like black. The solution is Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and ideal for showing movies in high resolution from the integrated Blu-ray drive. Sole appeal on screen is that the solution is almost in the top of a 16-inch wide screen, although the level of detail is extremely high, are icons, graphics and text, rather small.

Overall, the HDX X16 everything needed to replace the large desktop computer. It has a powerful processor and a fast graphics card, which
easily can run heavy image and video processing, and also used to play video games with. It supports the new and fastest networking standards and Bluetooth and a pair of video outputs. The HDMI output can even supply an 8-channel audio signal to the home cinema.

The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium in a 64-bit edition, which has built media center. To use the media center, there are two remotes. Little of them shaped as an Express Card and the major of them are good in your hand and offers more features. As a last detail, the laptop also has built-in digital TV tuner and antenna included.
