As the 8.9 inch sized NB 100 has recently been in our test lab, now Toshiba's second netbook coup, the NB 200, is already on the test-bench. This time, however, with a 10.1 inch display for an improved overview. The question, if the Toshiba NB200 can even be considered to be the NB 100's heir, as the implemented hardware of both models by and large are conform, or if it's simply a refresh of the NB 100 with a larger display and altered look, remains to be seen. ]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/NB200_black_1_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-NB-200-113-Netbook.17902.0.html reviews Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:51:20 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Apple-MacBook-White-5-2-Mid-2009.18130.0.html Is plastic still good? After the introduction of the aluminium MacBook (Pro) laptops, the white MacBook made from polycarbonate hasn't got much attention. The low-price entry-level model from Apple is in no way a discontinued product, as it has already been updated twice this year. Thanks to the 9400M chipset graphics and the 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU it actually doesn't have to hide from the smallest MacBook Pro.How it performed in our extensive tests, you can find out in this review. ]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/0906macbook_2up_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Apple-MacBook-White-5-2-Mid-2009.18130.0.html reviews Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:36:30 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-ProBook-4510s-Notebook.17850.0.html CrisesBook. Not only are saturated profits in the wallet gone for the time being, but the business laptops are obviously no longer earning so much as some years ago. This indeed might please the consumers, who can profit from the falling prices and new low-cost models. The just-released ProBooks from the laptop giant Hewlett-Packard are part of the bargain. How the low-priced business beginner performs, you'll find out in the following review.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/hp_probook_4510s_gesklein_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-ProBook-4510s-Notebook.17850.0.html reviews Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:00:14 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-One-751-Mini-Notebook.17809.0.html Wide, light, and enduring…Acer brings into play a format so far untypical of netbooks with the 11.6" Aspire One 751 and calls it a "Widescreen Netbook". Image and sound are supposed to be rendered especially "breath-taking" through this niche-modell, not leaving anything to be desired. Our review shows how the new form factor acquits itself in practice and compared to the competition. ]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/DSC07583freigestellt800x600_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-One-751-Mini-Notebook.17809.0.html reviews Sun, 28 Jun 2009 06:44:38 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N20A-Subnotebook.17825.0.html Elegance in 12.1 inches. With the Asus N20A we can introduce another of the currently rather popular mini-notebooks. Developed for the consumer market, for this 12.1-inch subnotebook Asus has amongst other things also attached particular importance to elegant looks. You can find out whether the N20A can deliver on what its looks promise in the following test report.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/n20A_atypeAsus_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N20A-Subnotebook.17825.0.html reviews Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:53:13 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Gyration-Air-Mouse-Go-Plus.17830.0.html Welcome to the third dimension. The Gyration Air Mouse GO plus is a mixture of a normal mouse, remote control and air mouse (see Nintendo Wii), which directly competes with the already longer available Logitech MX Air.

With the Aspire One A110/ A150, Acer has passed other Asus EeePC clones last year and reached the Netbook throne. It seems the Taiwanese company has found the right price-performance mix as they sold more and more items without any spectacular aspect and reached a market share of 37 %. With new additions, the product mix covers a wide spectrum of Netbook segment. We had reviewed the immediate successors Aspire One D150 and Aspire One 531 and now focus on the Acer Aspire One D250. Our review shows the improvements built into the model and how it fares with competitors.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/DSC07642_freigestellt_800x600_03.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-One-D250-Mininotebook.17823.0.html reviews Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:54:43 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Sony-Vaio-VGN-P21Z-Mini-Notebook.17810.0.html Pocket Size. An ultra-compact and light notebook as a permanent chaperone, perpetual access to internet, never again computer-free time? Sony also makes their contribution to make this lifestyle reality come true with its VGN-P series in an eight inch format and hopes that they will attract a wide range of potential buyers with their stylistic mini-devices. We are taking a closer look at the white Sony Vaio VGN-P21Z in the following review.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/1231146658053_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Sony-Vaio-VGN-P21Z-Mini-Notebook.17810.0.html reviews Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:17:44 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Studio-1555-Notebook.17767.0.html Media Artist. Dell offers the new Studio 1555 models at a competitive price of 499.00 Euros and also promotes these accordingly. For this seeming bargain price you get a rather meager equipped basic version, though. But if you configure it well-considered, you still can achieve an attractive price for value ratio. Where the strengths, or rather the weaknesses of the low-priced multimedia starter are found should be uncovered in this extensive test.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/dell_studio_1555_gesamt5_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Studio-1555-Notebook.17767.0.html reviews Thu, 18 Jun 2009 06:03:46 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-4810T-Notebook.17553.0.html Endurance Runner. Acer would like to ensure extensive mobility with the new "Timeline" models. This is implemented through the form of an especially flat case, as well as through above-average battery life. Thanks to energy-saving hardware components, a high-capacity battery, and last but not least the "PowerSmart" function, a battery life of more than 9 hours can be realized.

This does not only apply to the design, which pleases with typical multimedia control elements. No, also the other components are completely orientated on this field, for instance the glossy display in 16:9 cinematic format, the BluRay drive option and the Dolby surround audio system with subwoofer.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/GesamtFrei_07.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-5935G-Notebook.17438.0.html reviews Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:43:10 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-5536G-Notebook.17192.0.html AMD Multimedia Entertainment. The Acer Aspire 5536G presents itself as fully orientated on multimedia. Therefore the glossy Acer CrystalBrite TFT monitor is tailored for the standard 16:9 cinematic format. A combination of a Realtek AL C888 soundcard and a Dolby optimized surround system with two built-in Acer 3DSonic stereo loudspeakers provide for a good sound. Equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphic card and HDMI support, you can also enjoy movies on external monitors in full-HD.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/acerklein_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-5536G-Notebook.17192.0.html reviews Thu, 04 Jun 2009 09:38:43 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook.17209.0.html Multimedia For Everybody. The dv6 series by the American manufacturer Hewlett-Packard scores with an exciting price/performance-ratio. All the series' models are positioned well below the mark of 1000 Euros, and there is variant by all means suited for gaming: the model dv6-1140eg, equipped with an ATI 4650 graphics card. Also an obligation for multimedia users: a 15.6" HD display in the 16:9 format. ]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/hp_dv6_gesamt3_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook.17209.0.html reviews Thu, 04 Jun 2009 09:38:37 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-mySN-XMG5-Clevo-M860TU-Notebook.17146.0.html 15 inch DTR Gaming. A barebone from the Taiwanese manufacturer Clevo, which comes with a 15 inch display but can be configured with high-performance hardware components, is harbored behind the mySN XMG5 from the German notebook reseller Schenker Notebooks. Efficient dual or quad core CPUs from Intel can be selected from just like the GTX 260M graphic card from Nvidia, currently still the number two, behind the GTX 280M of the same batch from the Californian GPU manufacturer.]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/mySN_MG6_gesamt5_01.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-mySN-XMG5-Clevo-M860TU-Notebook.17146.0.html reviews Tue, 02 Jun 2009 07:07:47 +0200 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-of-the-Asus-Eee-PC-1000HE-Mininotebook.17053.0.html The Enduring One Asus offers an almost unmanageable range of mini-netbooks by now. One among the many, the Asus Eee PC 1000HE "netbook", now shines with Intel's updated N280 Atom CPU and a 6-cell battery, making it an attractive endurance runner variant.

This is how one could describe the new external 2.5" hard disk from Toshiba. 465GB of usable space and a USB 2.0 port are supposed to convince for less than 120 Euros.

Especially notebook users are thrilled when buying a new mobile computer, which almost always has an integrated webcam ex-factory. The built-in lenses are usually meant to be used exclusively for video telephony and fail in adverse conditions even at this task. But what does it look like with external high-quality hardware?

With the launch of the GX and GT series, MSI continues to take greater control of the gaming sector. The company has a wide product range, which helps in fulfilling the needs of the many enthusiastic gamers, who enjoy playing on the laptop.

Apple hasn't necessarily changed their new models to a glossy display in an "edge-to-edge" design for an unrestricted rejoicing of their fan community. While multimedia users and private users probably can still yet neglect the disadvantages of such a screen, it looks different for professional users who spend a whole, long day in front of the device. Apple also has a matt display alternative for these customers, but only in a bigger 17 inch MacBook Pro (MBP). ]]> http://www.notebookcheck.net/uploads/tx_jppageteaser/mbp17_gesamt1_07.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-MacBook-Pro-17-Unibody-Non-Glare.16952.0.html reviews Thu, 21 May 2009 08:05:00 +0200
