HP Envy 15-w000ng x360 Notebook Review

74% HP Envy 15-w000ng x360 Notebook Review

Slowed down. Anyone thinking about buying HP's new, unusual 15-inch convertible will need patience. The sluggish hard drive slows down the system unnecessarily. A high-quality screen should not be on the priority list, either. Fortunately, there are also positive aspects to report.

No more Aluminum! The predecessor had an aluminum lid, while the new Dell Inspiron 17-5758 is now mainly made of plastic. On the other hand, it features up-to-date Broadwell CPUs and a dedicated graphics card. Is this sufficient to make up for the poor connectivity?

75% HP Pavilion x2 10-n013dx Convertible Review

Versatile and affordable… The Pavilion x2 10-n013dx is the latest in HP’s rather crowded convertible line, sporting a familiar detachable design and a power-sipping Intel chipset intended to handle the basics. But with its multimode design and reasonable components, it’s an enticing candidate for the price tag.

How to Choose a Laptop for College

In for the long haul. Long gone are the times when writing utensils, papers and a few text books were all a student needed to successfully embark on a college-career upon graduating from High School. No more: today’s Universities have adopted the digital age and laptops have become an indispensable and critical tool in a student's high-tech, multi-tasking universe.

75% Asus X200MA Netbook Review

A tiny companion. Small, light, affordable: pretty much all old-school netbooks fit the bill in that regard. To make them truly usable, they also need to be equipped with good input devices, a decent display and feature a long battery life. Despite the fact that Asus' netbook offers a good price-to-value ratio, the user has to deal with a few drawbacks as well.
