Acer Aspire One (D250-1165)

2009-06-12T07:09:00.000-07:00

The Aspire One (D250-1165), Acer has eliminated a considerable amount of the plastic of its predecessor, the Aspire One (10-inch), making it slightly lighter and only 0.8 inch thick. It's merely an aesthetic overhaul, though; it keeps the original Intel Atom parts and the below-average (89 percent) keyboard. Still, the street price remains constant at $300 ($350 for the six-cell configuration).

Fujitsu M2010

The M2010 has one of the most vivid and color-rich 10-inch widescreens in the business, and the infinity-symbol design is easy on the eyes, but it isn't without flaws. I can forgive the 89 percent keyboard, since this netbook is aimed at classrooms and at kids, whose hands are presumably smaller than mine. The $449 (direct) price tag and low battery scores (with its three-cell battery), however, may be tough sells.

Big Mother

2009-06-03T20:45:00.001-07:00

Big Mother could use some lessons in user-friendliness.
With a multifaceted, password-protected interface, parents can easily block Internet access or other online features that may be tempting to little ones, such as uploading and downloading files, surly URLs, e-mails, games, and chats. Or, parents can grant limited access by developing scheduled access times. Big Mother even allows you to limit the amount of uploaded and downloaded data by file sizes.

We like the variety of logging options: URLs, e-mails, games/chats, or FTPs. What we don't like is that rather than simply monitoring network PCs by username, this application uses host names and divides them into work groups. Its various options could be overwhelming to the not-so-computer-savvy mom or dad. Additionally, the short seven-day trial isn't exactly a help to those needing acclimation to the ins and outs featured. Still, though it is geared toward parents, this customizable software also could be an asset in the workplace.

New ASUS EeePC 1008HA (Seashell)

2009-05-29T12:15:00.000-07:00

The netbook market is dominated by laptops whose frames are thick slabs of unattractive plastics, and design is often sacrificed in the name of hitting cellar prices. In looks, the new ASUS EeePC 1008HA (Seashell) is basically everything that the EeePC 1000HE isn't. Though the frame is still made up of plastic, it's noticeably thinner and lighter than the 1000HE while maintaining the 10-inch widescreen and 92% keyboard. Replacing a removable battery with a non-removable one was the only sacrifice. Even then, the nearly 6 hours it scored in battery testing is more than acceptable.

MSI X340

2009-05-29T12:14:00.001-07:00

The MSI X340 (021US), which debuted at CES 2009 as the X320, is nearly an identical twin to the Apple MacBook Air (Nvidia 9400M GT). Other than color—our review unit was black, and there's also a silver version—it's hard to tell them apart at first glance. The X340 is a cheap Air knock-off, to put it lightly, but there's more to this exceptionally thin ultraportable than its cellar-low price. Matching the Air's weight and dimensions is an impressive feat in its own right, yet MSI adds a full array of physical ports and a removable battery, which won't find in the Air. But the X340 will need to revisit Apple's blueprints if it wants to match the Air's build quality.

How to Buy a Netbook

2009-04-17T15:31:00.000-07:00

What has pushed netbooks—very small laptops that run a full-blown Linux or Windows operating system—into the spotlight is the fact that they are capable yet inexpensive, with prices ranging from $300 to $600. Early on, they were considered second computers, best for e-mail and Web surfing—thus the netbook moniker. But as manufacturers compete vigorously for market share—slashing prices and tacking on extras—consumers are reconsidering the roles that netbooks could play. Inexpensive and portable netbooks appeal to a wide audience, from businesspeople who travel frequently, to kids and home users looking for a small laptop to carry from room to room, to book-laden students who spend long hours on campus.

What Makes Netbooks Different?
It's easy enough to tell a netbook from other laptops, but the differences between one netbook and the next are getting fewer and fewer. They generally have 8-to-10-inch widescreens and lack built-in optical drives. None have full-size keyboards—they usually range from 89 percent to 93 percent of full size—so expect a more cramped typing experience than with a mainstream laptop. (If at all possible, try out the keyboard before you buy.) You will find an abundance of USB ports, a webcam, a card reader, and built-in Wi-Fi. Some even have bonus features like ExpressCard slots, Bluetooth, and options for cellular modems. Most every netbook has adopted the Intel Atom platform, made up of the Atom processor, integrated graphics, and 512MB to 1GB of RAM.

What Can (and Can't) Netbooks Do?
Don't underestimate the capabilities of these machines. They're not just limited to Web surfing, compiling spreadsheets, or word processing. You can offload your photos from a digital camera and edit them using a program like Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. With some patience, you can transcode video to another format using Windows Media Encoder 9 or edit video footage using Adobe Premiere Elements 7, or run your entire music library off of a program like Apple iTunes. A netbook can play video from sites like YouTube or a movie from an external USB drive, unmarred by distortions and lag. Businesses are considering these pint-size laptops because you can run various e-mail clients on them, put them on a network, install a VPN client, and secure them with antivirus and antispyware suites.

Configuring Your Netbook
To get a netbook that does all that you want it to do, you have to follow some basic configuration guidelines. Start with the operating system. Linux is cheap and very user-friendly, but average users tend to be more familiar and comfortable with Windows. What it comes down to is the support, functionality, and compatibility that Windows offers with an enormous range of hardware and software applications—whereas with Linux, users may not want to take the time to learn a new interface, install a program, or figure out how to get a device to work with a particular driver. And when Windows 7 rolls out, it will be even tougher for Linux to get a foothold in the netbook market. You'll find two types of hard drives: solid-state drives (SSDs) and spinning hard drives. While SSDs have faster transfer speeds, are more durable, and have longer life spans than their traditional counterparts, you pay a premium for these advantages. Most netbooks are available with spinning hard drives that can store up to 160GB worth of data. Shoot for a hard drive that has a capacity of at least 60GB and a rotational speed of 5,400 rpm.

The Intel Atom processor is the fastest and most energy-efficient netbook processor you can get. You may find an Intel Celeron M or a VIA processor in first-generation models like the ASUS EeePC 4G and the HP 2133 Mini-Note, but you're better off skipping these. Many netbooks will run fine on 1GB of memory, and most can be upgraded to 2GB, provided you can make this simple addition yourself. (Microsoft has limited manufacturers to including 1GB of memory on systems with Windows XP Home Edition, and a lot of today's netbooks run XP Home.)

Standard netbook batteries are typically three-cell (less than 30 Wh) units, although netbooks like the ASUS EeePC 1000HE, the Acer Aspire One (10-inch), and the Samsung NC10-14GB have upped their standard batteries to six-cell units. Our testing has shown that the smaller batteries will get you anywhere from 2 to 3 hours on a single charge, while the bigger ones range from 6 to 8 hours. If your activities include trips abroad or all-day classes, you'll want to look for a netbook with a six-cell option.

Specialty features aren't exclusive to larger laptops, either. Already, the HP Mini 1000 is bundling mobile broadband, a modem that makes use of cellular networks to acquire a broadband signal. One can accomplish (though not master) gaming—once thought of as an absurd activity on a netbook—on the ASUS N10Jc, thanks to an Nvidia graphics chipset. (The N10Jc also includes Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics, so you can switch between the two chipsets to enhance graphics power or to prolong battery live.) Several netbooks have already been spotted running Windows 7, Microsoft's successor to Windows Vista, and the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is currently the only netbook shipping with a 12-inch screen. And some laptop makers have imbued their netbooks with sex appeal, even at the modest price points of these units. Both the HP Mini 2140 and the ASUS EeePC 1002HA have sleek-looking aluminum frames. As for the future, if manufacturers can keep netbook prices down, the sky's the limit.

Featured in this roundup:

Acer Aspire One (10-inch) ($319 street)

Acer's best-selling netbook gets a bigger screen and newly positioned mouse buttons.

ASUS N10Jc-A1 ($650 street)

The ASUS N10Jc's advanced features cater to sophisticated consumers and small-business users with tight budgets.

ASUS EeePC 1000HE ($400 street)

After numerous cracks at the netbook market, ASUS has finally found the winning formula in the EeePC 1000HE.

ASUS EeePC 1002HA ($430 street)

Its metallic finish makes the ASUS EeePC 1002HA the most attractive netbook to date, and its performance doesn't disappoint. However, it could use some help in the features department.

Dell Inspiron Mini 12 ($524 direct)

Currently the only netbook with a 12-inch widescreen, the Inspiron Mini 12 is as light as some of its 10-inch peers.

HP Mini 1000 ($550 direct)

HP's Mini 1000 is a solid second act that could teach other netbooks a thing or two about design. Yet it could stand to learn a few things from its peers as well.

HP Mini 2140 ($500 direct)

The sexy aluminum chassis is carried over from the 2133, but not the VIA parts.

Samsung NC10-14GB ($480 street)

Well equipped for a netbook, the NC10 comes with trimmings that include a six-cell battery (standard) and a 93 percent keyboard. Once its price gets down to the level of the Acer Aspire One or the ASUS EeePCs, the Samsung NC10 will be one of the top-rated netbooks.

Sony VAIO VGN-CS190

2009-04-12T15:44:00.000-07:00

I've seen my share of pink laptops, but nothing epitomizes "pretty in pink" like the Sony VAIO VGN-CS190 that I reviewed. Clearly it's aimed at those who can't get enough of the color. (Luckily, it also comes in red, white, and black versions.) Although its drop-dead-gorgeous design is its focal point, the CS190 is also highly configurable. You can dress it up with the best parts and pay a hefty price, or budget yourself and still get a Blu-ray-equipped laptop for around $1,200, as is the case with this review unit.

Sony VAIO VGN-Z590

2009-04-12T15:37:00.000-07:00

Its keyboard, first seen on the VAIO VGN-X505ZP, was mimicked on Apple's MacBook, and the VAIO VGN-SZ170P was switching between two different graphics solutions long before anyone had heard of switchable graphics. Their latest ultraportable, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z590, breaks new ground once again. The dual SSDs, a Blu-ray drive, and switching graphics are features commonly found on an 8-pound media center, not a 3.2-pound ultraportable. It's amazing that Sony was able to fit the amount of technology it did into such a small frame. With the Z590, therefore, Sony retains the Editors' Choice in the ultraportable category.

2009-04-12T15:33:00.000-07:00

The latest features, look no further than the Sony VAIO VGN-TT190 ($4,345 direct). Sony has always innovated in the ultraportable space, and as this model shows, it continues to do so. The TT190's 11-inch widescreen, built-in optical drive, and mobile broadband are rare finds on a sub-3-pound frame. As if that weren't enough, it's also the lightest ultraportable to house a Blu-ray drive and dual 128GB solid state drives (SSDs). That said, there are some drawbacks—including the ultrahigh price tag—that keep me from getting too excited about the TT190.

Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P

2009-04-12T15:30:00.000-07:00

Reached into his inner suit pocket and pulled out the Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P. At the time, he called this handheld PC, which ran a full-blown version of Windows XP, "an achievement in ingenious design." Little did he know he'd be pulling the same stunt again at a quaint hotel in Manhattan, where I was one of a handful of journalists invited to preview Sony's take on the netbook revolution. He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a clamshell the length of two UX180Ps, not even an inch thick. This, as he described it, is Sony's answer to the surging netbook market, only it's not being classified as a netbook, it's not an update to the UX180P, and the intended audience, interestingly enough, is women. It's the Sony VAIO VGN-588EQ ($1,199 direct), better known as the Sony Lifestyle PC.

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725

2009-04-12T15:28:00.000-07:00

The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 ($2,699.99 direct) is probably not for you. Its outlandish design, which conjures up images of fiery balls of flames striking a bloody canvas, seems fit for those who crave bragging rights for their systems. Within this 9.2-pound beast sits a mobile quad-core processor and an Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTX graphics card—parts that will set you apart from casual gamers. Performance, overall, lived up to expectations, but there is a cheaper alternative that turned in better gaming scores.

Toshiba Portégé R600-S4202

2009-04-03T15:07:00.000-07:00

The Toshiba Portégé R600-S4202 is the sum of four years' worth of improvements, polishing an already proven product. It's the thinnest and lightest ultraportable that squeezes in an optical drive and a full-size keyboard—and its 12-inch LED widescreen isn't too shabby, either. The only thing that can potentially stand between you and commuter heaven is the agonizing $3,000 hit to your bank account.

Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch (Unibody)

2009-04-03T15:05:00.000-07:00

The Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch has been revered over the years by a nation of professional photographers and film editors, not to mention average media folks who can't get enough of this thin-bodied cinematic wonder. When the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Dual Graphics) and the MacBook 13-inch (Aluminum) launched with their "unibody" enclosures—in each case, a heavily promoted slab of aluminum that rids the frame of all detachable parts—a "uni-seventeen-incher" was clearly on the way. The Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch (Unibody) ($2,799 direct) is still the lightest and the prettiest media center laptop to house a maximum-resolution screen, and the changes are significant.

ASUS N50Vn-B1B

2009-04-03T15:04:00.001-07:00

The ASUS N50Vn-B1B ($1,250 street) is an all-purpose desktop replacement laptop that could become your next family PC. Whether your spouse uses it to edit family photos and videos, for example, or you run various applications to manage the household's finances, its 15.4-inch widescreen and fast processing parts are blessings for multitaskers. Your kids can use it to play the latest 3D games and take in high-quality movies with its excellent Nvidia graphics card.

HP Mini 1000 Mi

2009-04-03T15:02:00.000-07:00

The open-source operating system may seem intimidating for the uninitiated, but a well-designed Linux build doesn't have to be. Linux offers plenty of advantages as a netbook platform: It requires less memory, taxes your processor less, and brings the cost down, to boot. (The base price for an XP system with the same specs is $20 more.) On a blind test, even the most code-phobic user might mistake HP's custom Ubuntu build for any old Media Center interface. Providing a seamless, user-friendly Linux experience is exactly where the new Mi (Mobile Internet) edition of the HP Mini 1000 ($424.99 direct) excels.

CyberPower Gamer Xtreme M1

2009-03-30T15:38:00.000-07:00

CyberPower specializes in hulking gaming desktops—some of the most advanced systems known to mankind—but its Web site also houses a line of gaming laptops that are worth a gander. The Gamer Xtreme M1 ($2,150 direct) is a bare-bones chassis jammed with an assortment of the most popular mobile gaming parts. There are better-looking designs out there, such as the Editors' Choice Alienware M17 and the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725, but the M1 is a good fit for gamers who are nursing an already depleted bank account.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y650

2009-03-30T15:32:00.000-07:00

Of all the 16-inch media centers—laptops with 16-inch widescreens—the Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 ($1,299 direct) is easily the least burdensome on your back. It's an alternative for those who don't want to spend the money or make the switch to an Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Dual Graphics) but salivate over its lightness. The Y650 is designed with mobility in mind when others (ahem, other Windows laptops) with similar screens are at least a pound heavier. Yet it can also fill the void left by an old desktop. Part for part, though, the Y650 is a bit overpriced; there are better values out there. Then again, you can always wait around until there's a good Lenovo sale.

ASUS G71G-Q1

2009-03-30T15:30:00.000-07:00

The ultimate gaming laptop needs something more than the fastest processors and the most blistering 3D graphics cards, and ASUS is well aware of this. The ASUS G71G-Q1 ($2,000 street) is close to the bleeding edge, packing features like an Intel quad-core processor, a Blu-ray reader, and cavernous hard drives. It's almost the total package, but it falls short on the one thing that matters most to gamers: graphics. Although the Nvidia GeForce 9800M GS card it comes with is considered a very good gaming card, there are systems that deliver higher frame rates for about the same price.

Gateway P-7808u FX Edition

2009-03-30T15:29:00.001-07:00

Hard-core gaming laptops were once thought of as sticker-shock items, but they've changed sharply of late in both looks and price. In their new incarnation, they're acting as big-screen media centers and desktop replacements, now that prices for the fastest parts have plummeted to a level that makes them affordable to the masses. At $1,800 (street), the Gateway P-7808u is aggressively priced for a gaming rig, with a mobile Intel quad-core processor and a powerful Nvidia graphics card built into a light 17-inch platform. Though its looks could use a huge splash of imagination, this hard-core gaming laptop is a terrific deal no matter how you look at it.

B50A

2009-02-03T14:28:00.000-08:00

The New Flagship of Business Computing

The powerful and versatile platform for business executives. ASUS B50 is powered by Intel Centrino® Processor Technology.

In creating the B50A, ASUS has taken every consideration of the business executive’s varied computing needs for power, reliability and mobility. The result is the ultimate notebook computer for the business environment, packed with speed, intelligent features, and versatility, the ultimate competitive advantage for the business executive. In addition to the unique technologies and software features, the B50A offers the latest Express Gate that empowers users with 8 second boot-up* for access to a host of multimedia and online applications!

Built for Mobile Efficiency

It is not merely a question of power – of which the B50A has plenty – but also one of usefulness. In this regard, business executives who find themselves working away from their desks will appreciate the reliability of the B50A. Based on the latest Intel Centrino®2 Processor Technology platform and ASUS exclusive Power4 Gear eXtreme power management, the B50A has an extended battery life in excess of 5 hours*. Moreover, the B50A also features a spill-resistant keyboard, so the notebook is protected from accidental liquid spills of up to 120cc of liquid. Productivity is guaranteed with the built-in keyboard LED light that allows computing in dimmed meeting rooms.

Express Gate for 8 seconds* Boot-Up and Instant Online

This additional built-in operating system takes users to a host of most commonly used features instantly, including web browser, instant messenger, Skype, photo manager, music player and online gaming. With this truly convenient, instant access to the Internet, users can now send a last-minute email before rushing off to work, browse the Web in between appointments and reach friends and family via instant messenger all in the blink of an eye. In addition, Express Gate has also effectively created two computers in one that it is now easier to share the computer. When under the Express Gate environment, Internet, music and photos can be shared without disturbing the files and setup in the Windows operating system reserved for personal use.

Power with Seamless Security

Information is the lifeblood of commerce and the importance of reliable security for a business executive cannot be overstated. Yet while keeping prying eyes out, a good, robust security system should also be seamless to operate for the authorized, intended user. Offering all the above benefits, the B50A is integrated with a biometric fingerprint scanner that offers greater security by reading fingerprints from the underlying live layer of skin tissue and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for secure login and encryption. Together, these ensure that data and transactions through B50A are secure, yet remain efficient and easy to use.

Docking Station for Efficient Connectivity

The detachable docking station is an ideal solution for quick connection of peripherals, power and communication devices. Whether at home or in the office, it offers advanced practicality and time saved when leaving and returning to the desk.

Extensive Connectivity

The built-in WLAN 802.11 a/g/n ensures wireless Internet access whenever reception is available. The B50 also provides Bluetooth 2.1 EDR – an enhanced data rate that transmits three times faster than the standard Bluetooth, for increased connectivity and synchronization between digital devices. In addition, a complete range of input / output ports that includes 4 USB ports, 1 x HDMI , 1 x E-SATA port, 1 x Docking Connector (hot swappable) and express card slots will provide you with dynamic data transfer and storage options.

F2F-

Solid Security Protection on the Go

A smart balance of mobility and performance with comprehensive security feature that protects with both software as well as hardware solutions

Enjoy revolutionary entertainment on the go - F2F- with Intel® Core™2 Duo processor in F2F- enables breakthrough mobile performance, new high-definition capabilities and improved battery life.

Dependable Partner on the Go
ASUS F2F Series offer a smart balance of mobility and performance with comprehensive security feature that protects with both software as well as hardware solutions, providing a secure and convenient computing experience for users.

Dual core, Double Power
Equipped with the latest dual core processing, the F2F provides enhanced responsiveness to enjoy audio & video playback & record, gaming, IM, and web-browsing simultaneously on your notebook. Moreover, it offers outstanding dual-core performance to enjoy multimedia management and digital content creation.

RF Biometric Fingerprint Reader
ASUS F2F Series adopt the unique semiconductor based RF biometric fingerprint scanner. The RF electronic imaging mechanism reads the fingerprint pattern from the live layer of skin that lies just beneath the skin’s dry outer surface layer. Therefore, the sensor is less affected by common skin surface conditions, including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin, that can impair the ability of other sensors to acquire accurate fingerprint images.

ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence technology
The exclusive ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence technology is especially effective for human skin tones, green stretches of grass and trees and blue sky and sea. It takes PC graphics capability to the next level by enhancing depth and color intensity in real time. It further improves contrast, brightness, skin tone and color saturation for vivid image display. Incorporated with the exclusive ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Engine (activation hot key: Fn+C), the LCD presents clear and sharp images in their true vibrant colors.

Triple Speed Connection with Wireless Freedom
Responding to the emerging demands of notebook users who have a number of simultaneously working Bluetooth peripherals on their system, including mice, keyboards, headsets, and mobile phones, the F2F notebooks, with the built-in Bluetooth® V2.0+EDR, offer maximum data transfer rates of 2.1 Mbps, 3 times faster than the current device can manage, and hence reducing power consumption, which greatly benefits battery-dependent mobile devices.

Easier and Faster Digital Data Transmission
The ExpressCard™ standard promises to deliver high- performance, modular expansion to notebooks at a lower cost and in a smaller form factor. You will be able to add memory communications and security devices by simply inserting ExpressCard™ modules into the F2F.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a security device on the system board that will hold computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that helps to avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data.
The TPM allows the F2F to run applications securely and to make transactions and communications more trustworthy. When bundled with ASUS Security Protect Manager, it ensures overall system security, file protection capabilities and protect against email/privacy concerns.

A smart balance of mobility and performance with comprehensive security feature that protects with both software as well as hardware solutions

Dependable Partner on the Go
ASUS F2Hf Series offer a smart balance of mobility and performance with comprehensive security feature that protects with both software as well as hardware solutions, providing a secure and convenient computing experience for users.

RF Biometric Fingerprint Reader
ASUS F2Hf Series adopt the unique semiconductor based RF biometric fingerprint scanner. The RF electronic imaging mechanism reads the fingerprint pattern from the live layer of skin that lies just beneath the skin’s dry outer surface layer. Therefore, the sensor is less affected by common skin surface conditions, including dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin, that can impair the ability of other sensors to acquire accurate fingerprint images.

Triple Speed Connection with Wireless Freedom
Responding to the emerging demands of notebook users who have a number of simultaneously working Bluetooth peripherals on their system, including mice, keyboards, headsets, and mobile phones, the F2Hf notebooks, with the built-in Bluetooth® V2.0+EDR, offer maximum data transfer rates of 2.1 Mbps, 3 times faster than the current device can manage, and hence reducing power consumption, which greatly benefits battery-dependent mobile devices.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a security device on the system board that will hold computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that helps to avoid attacks by hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data.
The TPM allows the F2Hf to run applications securely and to make transactions and communications more trustworthy. When bundled with ASUS Security Protect Manager, it ensures overall system security, file protection capabilities and protect against email/privacy concerns.

Sony Lifestyle PC (VGN-588EQ)

2009-02-02T10:58:00.001-08:00

It was more than two years ago that Mike Abary, senior vice president at Sony, reached into his inner suit pocket and pulled out the Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P. At the time, he called this handheld PC, which ran a full-blown version of Windows XP, "an achievement in ingenious design." Little did he know he'd be pulling the same stunt again at a quaint hotel in Manhattan, where I was one of a handful of journalists invited to preview Sony's take on the netbook revolution. He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a clamshell the length of two UX180Ps, not even an inch thick. This, as he described it, is Sony's answer to the surging netbook market, only it's not being classified as a netbook, it's not an update to the UX180P, and the intended audience, interestingly enough, is women. It's the Sony VAIO VGN-588EQ ($1,199 direct), better known as the Sony Lifestyle PC.
