OK, so maybe AMD has gotten better with the processors that they are offering for notebook users. Regardless, even as someone who prefers AMD over Intel, it will be awhile before I believe that they can compete in the notebook world I’m afraid.
When you practically live on your notebook PC, having access to a decent wireless connection is a must. But since so many areas do not offer reliable wireless connectivity, it is refreshing to see that notebook manufacturers are understanding the value of wireless network independence.

I’m not sure if any other legislative bodies on the State or Federal level have this sort of ban, but the Missouri Senate has, for at least the fourth time in the last seven years, rejected a proposal to allow laptops in the Senate chambers. Interesting, there’s no ban (though […]
Patch one thing and boom! here comes another issue. Not only that the fault lies not in a bug or flaw in the code; it was designed this way. Details were released at the ShmooCon hacker conference in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. Brian Krebs of the Washington Post has the full […]
Finger and retina recognition is so 2003. Look at “Minority Report” or an episode of “24″ to see that eyes can be plucked out and fingers chopped off to gain access to super-secured information. Only the fear of blood would stop you from getting what you need. Speaking of blood, looks like […]
Looks like Cingular is going to be hard pressed convincing people that their EDGE network is broadband after Sony, IBM, Dell, and now HP have all said they’ll make laptops with built-in EV-DO.
Sharp has just introduced their lightest notebook yet for the US market. The M4000 WideNote weighs in at just 3.7 pounds, and boasts an ultra-bright 13.3-inch WXGA widescreen LCD display. The WideNote will sell $1,799.99 USD later this month, with Windows XP Professional installed as the operating system. Sharp is also throwing in Norton AntiVirus, […]
OK, this is definitely an interesting fashion statement for your notebook computer.
You have to understand. A new notebook is an investment. So making sure that it is kept in a secure, well padded backpack is the only way to go unless you plan on having issues in the near future.

OK, so Linux usage may not be explosive on home user front. But I must say that I too, feel that if users select the right distribution that their experience can in fact be a positive one.
This has ‘proprietary’ written all over it. Not really a laptop that I would be wanting to jump all over myself. Thanks, but no thanks.
Speaking as someone who owns what might be considered a ‘cheaper’ laptop, I think that the new models out there today are actually pretty darn competitive with some of the higher-end models that potential buyers might be considering.
Just because a set of speakers are small does not automatically mean that they will suck beyond belief. I think it is a safe bet that the speakers in this article qualify under this point.
I have to admit, if I was going to be buying another laptop in the near future that the Powerbook would be a very real possibility. Fast, effective and a great battery life, moving to Apple from a mobile stand point would set well with me I think. However, I have no intention of lugging […]
A Dell notebook that does not resemble a tank? Sounds intriguing! OK, that was mean. But most of the Dells that I have seen are HUGE, people. So this leads me to ponder as to what Dell actually considers to be ‘lightweight’. Just my feelings on the matter. No hard feelings, Dell.
OK, this notebook from Toshiba is certainly a pretty sight to be sure. I am sorry to report however, that it is far from perfect. Rather than spoil the review myself, I will let you discover the details on your own at PCMag.com instead.
I got an interesting letter in the mail a few days ago that had this startling revelation in it:
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Dell is voluntarily recalling and offering free replacements for certain AC adapters that were sold for use with some models of Dell Latitude, Dell Precision, and Dell Inspiron […]
