Though the tough exterior of the 2010 model did not match up to its “not so amazing” interior, the new Macbook Air 2011 serves to be one of the better products that Apple inc. has launched in the recent years and don’t lack in performance at all. These models come with the low voltage Intel Core i5 1.6 or 1.7 GHz processors depending on the memory of the product. Both these processors are dual core with a 3 MB shared L3 cache and the 1.7 GHz processor for the 13-inch has 4 GB of DDR3 (This is a high performance solution for computer systems as it is able to transfer data twice as fast as its counterparts.)

Apple MacBook Air Key Features:

INTEL THUNDERBOLT TECHNOLOGY: The Input/Output technology is the new cable interface which was introduced in the MacBook Pro last year. This connectivity technology lets the user connect multiple compatible devices to the system simultaneously by delivering over 10GB/second of transfer speeds in both the directions. The 2011 MacBook Air model contains a gigabit Ethernet, USB port and Firewire- all of which connect via the appealing Thunderbolt connection.

How Does This Help You?

You can now transfer an entire Blu-ray 4GB disc in 30 seconds or years and months worth of MP3s and files in less than10 minutes.

Granted, the MacBook Air 2011 has a single port, but with this technology you can connect EVERYTHING via this one port.

Apple MacBook Air DISPLAY

Although the display of this new product is similar to the last generations, the only difference is how it works? The 13” MacBook Air panel is 16:10 – 1440 x 900 pixels. The Intel HD 3000 provides the Graphics for this new generation of MacBook Airs. It is built into the new Intel core chips rather than the Nvidia GeForce 320M which were used in the last generation of the MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Air Glass Lit Multi Touchpad & Backlit Keyboard

Regardless of its small size, the MacBook Air flaunts a full size keyboard for natural typing and comfortable approach. A relatively minor but a handy change from the 2010 mode, the backlit keyboard is light to touch and user friendly. It is definitely a much needed addition to the Air models.

Apple MacBook Air Battery Life

Like other models of MacBooks, the Air 2011 has no issues with battery life. After conducting standard tests, the battery life was recorded as 5.5 hours this time is way more than any of the newly launched PCs. The “seven hour battery life” that apple advertises is well reached if you are surfing the internet, facebooking/tweeting and typing at the same time. The plus with Apple products is….you can’t just replace the battery with a simple screwdriver! battery here without a screwdriver.

Specifications At A Glance:

• Back Lit LED Glossy Widescreen Display (11.6inches)

The 2011 MacBook Air addresses nearly every concern anyone could have at its range of Mac predecessors. Now, these 2011 MacBook Air models compete with the MacBook pro allowing faster CPU options, increased RAM and disk storage and a built in optical disc. The marketing of Apple’s MacBook Air 2011 defines it as the “ultimate entry level everyday notebook”

Finally, let’s quickly look at the good and the bad for the MacBook Air 2011:

The Good: Super fast performance, lightweight with a sleek and chic design, excellent money value, reintroduction of full size keyboard with backlight, always on the go, excellent response time.

The Bad: Base Price : $999, no SD Card slot and only 2 GB RAM, Thunderbolt technology isn’t as appealing either!

Google Chromebook

The Google Chromebooks are hyped especially because of their improved features. These features are as follows:

1. One of the features of the Google Chromebook is its booting in 8 seconds and can resume instantly. This is quite a feat. It allows the users to load their favorite websites pretty quickly and can support almost all the latest web standards.
2. Google Chromebook makes it easy to connect with anyone at anytime. It has built in Wi-Fi and 3G. Thus you can be on the web as soon as you log on to the Chromebook.
3. All the apps, documents and settings are safely stored and are protected well. If you loose your computer there is nothing to worry about. You an always log in from another chrome book and get back to work right way.

7. Google Chromebooks also run the consumer operating system and were the first ones to introduce it. It is designed to protect against malwares and viruses. The defense system is as good as it gets.

Like everything else Google Chromebooks come with its pros and cons. There are several tings that are mentioned in Google Chromebook reviews which make it an exceptionally good buy. What every Google Chromebook review mentions about it is that Google Chromebook has an exceptionally good security system. All applications run sandboxed. Unless the sandbox is penetrated all the personal data of the user is safe. It is designed in such a way that nothing penetrated through the levels and gets to the users personal data. The security system has been designed by keeping in mind the needs t the time. The guest mode is another feature that comes up in almost all Google chrome book reviews. If you are a user you can access the data from any PC that has a running Google Chromebook. The fast booting system and ease while using scores high on the pros list of Google Chromebook reviews.

There are certain downsides to the Google Chromebook as well. Although the security level in cloud storage is good enough, it is not reliable to depend on the cloud alone. With more and more break-ins, there just might be security issues and data loss. Its compatibility is low with the windows apps and cannot run directly. The account link system has also proven to be an issue. Thus while buying the Google Chromebooks it is necessary to give it a thorough examination and decide whether it is suitable for your needs.

In spite of all its problems Google Chromebook has drawn a large number of buyers. Although many seem skeptical about the negative sides of a Google Chromebook, evidences suggest otherwise. There is a sharp rise in the number of purchases of Google Chromebook. Many Google Chromebook reviews speak negatively about the invention, but it can be hardly denied that it is perhaps one of the best things to happen in the world of internet and internet usage.

Every technology when it comes out for the first time is faced with its difficulties. After all is said and done there is no denying that it is certainly a break through In online technology and with some time can surely overcome the shortcomings. There is quite an amount of openness amongst the creators and that is perhaps the best point about it.

Best New Laptops

To find the best laptop, you have to consider the most important qualities. The following models have been chosen for their performance, versatility, features and overall value.

Lenovo ThinkPad T410

Lenovo’s T-series ThinkPad has proven to be a mainstay of the laptop industry. Like any laptop, there are multiple specifications to choose from, but opting for the Intel Core i7 processor and a minimum of 4 GB of RAM will greatly increase the performance without having the same effect on the price. This 14-inch screen laptop weighs just over 5 pounds, but offers 5-6 hours of battery life that helps to give it more versatility. The T-series comes standard with a strong case, ThinkPad keyboard, UltraNav combination pointing device and a slew of accessories that help you customize it to your personal or professional needs.

Asus G73SW-A1 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop

For under $2000 the Asus G73SW-A1 delivers impressive performance that can be traced back to the power-packed spec list. The huge 17.3-inch screen has been crafted with full HD resolution, 1080p, and LED backlighting which works well with the Blu-ray disc drive and USB 3.0 port. Powered by a 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, and a 1TB hybrid HDD/SSD drive, this Asus model is a showstopper. When it’s not stealing the attention in the electronics showroom, its sleek design crafted for optimum airflow can be found on a desktop where a dusty, old tower once stood. The 8 pound weight, hefty performance, and poor battery life add up to an amazing desktop replacement well-suited for a wide array of users.

Apple MacBook Pro MC700LL/A 13-inch Notebook

At first glance, this 13-inch, 4.5 pound, less than an inch thick notebook may not look too impressive. However, when you power it on and the little apple lights up, it quickly proves why it is one of the best laptops on the market. For around $1200, you can opt for a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, 320GB hard drive which when combined with the standard 4GB of RAM and the new Thunderbold I/O interface delivers flawless results. The unibody construction offers a solid build quality, while the etched glass trackpad/select button caps off the flat, backlit keyboard. Pre-programmed with Apple’s OS X operating system, Windows lovers need not run from this model as it features an alternate boot setup for Microsoft’s OS. A single charge promises 7 hours of use, making this notebook portable and a superb match for most excluding graphics artists and serious gamers.

ASUS N53SV-XV1 15.6-Inch Entertainment Laptop

Another top Asus model is the N53SV-XV1 which boasts several features that help place it among the laptop elite. Unlike many laptops, this model has USB 3.0 ports and audio designed by Band & Olufsen ICEpower. The standard features include an Intel Core i7 quad-core ‘Sandy Bridge’ processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce GT540M discrete graphics processor with 1GB of VRAM. If you’re looking to take advantage of the enhanced graphics system, you can opt for the full HD screen that boats 1920×1080 resolution which flawlessly streams 1080p content. Asus has labeled this model an entertainment laptop, making it a great match for gamers and those who enjoy high definition media. Perhaps the most impressive feature of this laptop is the price. At just over $1000, this laptop isn’t just competitively priced, it’s a downright steal.

Before investing in a new laptop, it is important to consider what features you need and balance them with cost. However, it is also important that you know what you’re getting and how it balances with the other criteria. The best of anything will always strike a fair balance between performance, versatility, features and value just like the four laptops on this list.

Katie Campbell is an editor for Bestcovery.com where she writes computer reviews. After investing in one too many pieces of subpar equipment, she has set out on a quest to find the best of everything, which includes the best laptop.

Apple Macbook Pro 13”, 15” and 17” have all been upgraded in their processors and graphics.  Apple Macbook Pro—Updates reveal that the 15 and 17 inch laptops feature the quad-core Intel Core i7 process which is updated from the Core 2 Duo processors. The 13” Apple Macbook Pro has been upgraded to dual-core Intel Core i5. This leap of processors that all these models have taken has made them twice as fast.

Apple Macbook Pro

When it comes to design plus technology, it doesn’t get better than the updated Apple Macbook Pro. It is known to be the ‘world’s most advanced operating system.’

The latest Apple Macbook Pro features what is known as the ‘Thunderbolt I/O technology.’ This technology developed by Intel and Apple allows data transfer up to 10 Gbps which was never incorporated in any laptop. It also allows high resolution displays, which means you get to see brighter HD colors.

The updated Apple Macbook Pro also features an SD card slot, which was not there in the earlier models. Apple also confirms that so far the Apple Macbook Pro has a 7-hour battery charge up and the life of the battery itself is expanded to last for many more years.

The backlit keyboard and screen adaptation to stronger and dimmer lights of the surrounding is a new and stand-out feature of the updated Apple Macbook Pro. It makes it far easier to work in the dark.The updated Apple Macbook Pro is also the greenest notebook ever produced as explained by Apple. The Apple Macbook Pro is made up in to what is called a unibody enclosure which means it is made from one piece of tough aluminum. It also comes with energy efficient LED backlit displays. It is constructed with recyclable materials.

The updated Apple Macbook Pro also has a double click , multifunctional Multi-Touch trackpad. This feature allows multiple function with varied use of fingertips. The glass trackpad allows scroll with two fingers and expansion of selected screen with the use of index finger and thumb, therefore it is very helpful.

The price range of the updated Apple Macbook Pro starts from the $1,199 which is quite reasonable for the most technologically advanced notebook.

Users’ rating: 3 ½ stars

Which Tablet PC is giving the Apple iPad a run for money? No prizes for guessing it is the Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Galaxy Tab comes in two display sizes, a 7 inch and a 10 inch one.

The US price of this 7 inch android tablet is somewhere around $179.99. If you are looking for cheap android tablets, this one is worth a try.

ViewSonic G Tablet

Users’ rating: 4 stars

ViewSonic G Tablet comes from the house of ViewSonic, the maker of pocket-sized computers like ViewSonic Pocket PC V36 and ViewSonic Pocket PC V37. The ViewSonic G Tablet is obviously bigger than those but, at 700 grams, not too big to reduce ease of portability. The PC has a 10 inch screen and is loaded with a 3650 mAh battery.

Best Android Tablets

Apple has barely released its iPad but a host of other players have already jumped onto the tablet bandwagon to make a quick killing. Some of these tablet pcs and tablet laptops have just arrived in the market while others have only been announced. We have tried to focus on 8 new tablet pcs that are supposedly going to be the best tablet pcs of the coming year. Go through these android tablet reviews and take your pick.

Samsung Galaxy Tab

It is being seen as the first major competitor of the Apple iPad. Based on the Samsung Galaxy S, the Galaxy Tab sports a 7 inch screen and can rightly be said to be a mini tablet pc. The glossy display is powered by the Super AMOLED technology which means you get a bright, free of glares screen. We loved the screen every bit as we did like its lean appearance. At only 0.8 pounds, it puts the 1.5 pound iPad to shame. The stunning black tablet comes with a 1.3 MP camera at the front and a rear 3 MP camera. The tablet runs on Android 2.2 OS which is very good though it can be flakey sometimes.

You get a 16 GB on-board memory which can be expanded to double capacity with microSD cards. A robust Cortex A8 1Ghz processor powers the device and makes operations very fast. There is an attractive voice call feature that you will not find in the iPad. Samsung really brings phone into the PC.

There are a couple of minuses though. We tested the 4000 mAH battery power and found it supported only 7 hours of constant movie playing. The Apple guys can rest a little. The iPad gives 10 hours of continuous video playback.

Another con is the price. Without SIM, the device costs around 700 Euros.

The iPad is available at about 499 dollars in the USA.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dell Streak

Talk about mini Tablet pcs and you cannot ignore the Dell Streak tablet. Offering a mini 5 inch capacitive touchscreen display, the Streak looks like a very large smartphone and can fit into your cargo pants. The PC, in fact, seems very much like the Streak Android cell phone which also has a 5 inch LCD screen. If you like your computers big, you might have an issue with the small-sized Dell Streak. But if portability is what you also want, this is your thing. As a computer it might be small, but it is easy to carry around and we liked the small Streak immensely. Small is the new BIG, you can see! Streak scores over the iPad with its sheer size!

Equipped with a powerful 1 Ghz processor, the tablet runs on Google Android which makes for decent computing. Connectivity is optimum in this power baby with 3G, Wifi and GPS on offer.

The solid capabilities include a camera, large spaced out onscreen keyboard, HDMI port and quick web surfing. We had a gala time reading e-books on the Streak. The small screen means you can watch videos privately. Watching movies is a great pleasure with the sharp Streak display quality.

On the downside, your fingerprints are left on the display and you have to clean it from time to time. Though, that is true for most tablet touchscreens.
The price is nice. It costs around $550, which is greater than what iPad is available at, but still a good price we would say. It is available for $300 from Dell with a 2 year AT&T service contract.

You may also choose a non-contract buy and get the Streak at $550.

EZ Style Pad 100

The battle for being the best tablet computer is not only among a few handfuls, if so you thought. The number of competitors is growing by the minute and the EZ Style Pad 100 proves it. The device has only been announced but it is worth taking a look at the gadget which may just emerge a dark horse for some of its notable features.

Like the Galaxy Tab, the Style Pad offers a 7” screen though Super AMOLED is not at work here. The display is of the resistive multi-touch variety and boasts of a sharp 800 X 480 WVGA resolution. An ARM 11+256MB DDR processor powers the pc. The 2GB internal memory can be expanded to 32GB, which is just great.

One of the highlights of the Style Pad lies in its ability to support 3G Dongles through USB port. The 300 mAh battery offers 10 hrs of standby time which means continuous movie playing would exhaust it in 3 ½ hours. That is a lot less than the Apple iPad though perfectly alright if you consider its price.
The stylish device is said to be priced at 399 dollars but it may be available at $299 only. It can be an underdog and emerge as one of the best tablets of 2011.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Asus Eee Tablet

Think of cheap android tablets and the name of Asus will come to your mind. After computer tablet pc is the focus of the Asus. The new Eee Tablet from Asus is set to be a killer Tablet PC. Gadget aficionados will remember this stylish device being showcased in Computex 2010 in June and that is where we first saw it too.

This new Asus baby looks a cross between a notebook and a big e-book reader. Sporting a magnificent 8 inch 1024 X 768 pixel display, it is bigger than most tablets out there. The 2,450 dpi touchscreen display lets you turn pages at an awesome 0.1 sec and is supposed to be Asus’ answer to the Kindle and Nook e-book readers. But e-book reading is not the only focus of this pretty device which also lets you take notes and browse the internet.

The minuses include a relatively slow monochrome LCD, low camera quality and a non-real time handwriting capture system.

The Eee Tablet is supposed to arrive in the first quarter of 2011. The Asus makers are hoping to price it somewhere around $300. The low price tag is sure to make it a great hit with students.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

MID706

The MID706 is often called an EPad clone. True, it is similar to the EPad in some ways but it has its individualities as well.

The first look at the MID706 impressed us quiet a bit. The 7 inch touchscreen display is good and is not a magnet for fingerprints. But the display quality is not very bright and though that may be good for the eyes you may have some issues while watching videos.

Connectivity is cool in the Google Android based 706 with Wifi 802.11 b/g and LAN 10/100M Ethernet Access powering it. The 2400 mAH battery makes it work only for 2 hours which is obviously its negative point.

At 0.37 kg, it is a lean machine and easy to carry around. The memory capability is 256 MB which is expandable to 8 GB.

The MID706 has been around for some months now. But its availability may vary depending on where you live.

This tablet laptop is priced at $125.

That probably makes it the cheapest tablet pc of the season. It will supposedly bring down tablet pc prices with one stroke. The low price will give the MID706 an edge in any tablet comparison.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

CSL DroidPad Tablet

The Malaysia based gadget-maker CSL has come with all guns blazing with its own Android tablet. Known as the DroidPad Spice MI700, CSL’s tablet boasts a sharp 7 inch multi-touch 800 X 480 pixel display. The connectivity features are solid and there is 3G, WiFi and GPS along with GSM and Bluetooth support.

The device is loaded with a 512 MB RAM. The memory can be expanded to up to 32 GB with memory cards.

The Spice DroidPad offers all PC functionalities. You can use it to play music and videos, view photos, play games and read e-books. A 3MP camera makes the device complete.

The machine is loaded with a range of applications like Blueberry Messenger, CSL Fun Club and S-Unno. Followers of Islam can enjoy applications like Azan Alarm and Kiblat Kompas.

There is 3G, Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi support. The Android 2.2 OS gives you fast browsing capabilities. A robust Qualcomm MSM7227 chip powers the DroidPad.

The minus point of the device is the usual suspect, battery backup. At around the same price range as the iPad, the battery life should have been more than 6 hours that its 3240 mAh Li-Pol battery offers.

It is priced at about $518.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Compal Android Tablet

Technically a polished product, the Compal tablet pc can be one of the best tablet notebooks for you. It features a 7 inch touch-sensitive display and capacitive side touch buttons. We saw this in the Netbook Summit in San Francisco and liked its sharp display.

The device is supposedly powered by an ARM Cortex-A9 processor. There will also be Flash Integration and Open GL 2.0. The machine sports a 3.5 mm audio jack, SD card slot and HDMI slot. There is a 12 MP camera that lets you capture 1080 p videos.

Compal Tablet runs on Google Android 2.1 and the demonstration showed it to be fast enough.

The price of Compal tablet is expected to be around $300.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

ViewSonic ViewPad 10

This 10 inch device sports a 7 inch sharp display with a 1024 X 600 pixel resolution. It is possibly going to be one of the best Android tablets in the near future.

The biggie comes with a 16 GB storage capacity that can be expanded to up to 32 GB with microSD cards. There is Bluetooth, Assisted-GPS and Wifi for connectivity.

The highlight of the model is its dual boot feature. This lets you run the PC in Windows 7 Home Premium or Android 1.6 whenever you like. The boot feature is not very polished and yet and the ViewPad makers are working on it.

There is a 1.3 MP camera at the front that lets users shoot quality images.
The downside of this baby is its 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N455 processor that is not as fast as the iPad or the Galaxy Tab. But it works fast enough and if you do not run any programs simultaneously, the experience can be quiet satisfactory.

The Viewpad 100 is available for about $845.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
