Dell Inspiron 5321
Recently a friend of mine finally decided to buy a new laptop after his 6 year old P4 model was not working out for him and asked my advice on what to buy. There is quite a few options open to people out there and some people might not recommend Dell for whatever reason. The handy thing with this person is I already knew what he was looking for in a new laptop and getting the thing to run faster and better would be done by myself.Why Dell?
I have used dell over the many years of working, I bought my i7 desktop from dell and my 23″ monitor and my work laptop is in fact a Dell. I agree you loose some of the customised ability you get with building your own but when it comes to Laptop’s, you might as well go with a brand name right?
The Deals of the day
We checked the website and they had a range of laptops – start from a Celeron 900 (2.2Ghz) at £329 all the way up to a Dell Studio 15 running a core i3-530 @ £549. Basically there was something for everyone and they had various deals with each package. I ignore anything with the word Celeron on there (as should you) and the lowest priced ‘half decent’ system was in fact £369.
The System of choice
Intel® Pentium® Processor T4500 (2.30 GHz, 800 MHz, 1MB)
15.6″ High Definition (1366×768) WLED Display with TrueLife
Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD
3072MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [1x2048, 1x1024]
320GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive
DVD +/- RW Drive (read/write CD & DVD)
Windows 7 Premium edition
These are the main points we need to look at really, the laptop he was going from was a P4 model with 1 GIG ram and 80GIG drive I think, so this system with a Core 2 Duo, 3 GIG ram, Windows 7 Premium editon is way more then enough for this person.
Normal user
I know for a fact this person does not game, it does not matter that it has Intel 4500 graphics card in there, it will play HD movies fine. 3Gig Ram is also just right, he will have no concept of 64Bit Operating system and virtual machines. The last one which I always look at is the resolution of the screen, for me 1366×768 would not cut it but it is a jump compared to his last one, so he is happy with that spec.
Look and Feel
http://adf.ly/JQPRG
It comes with what is classed as 3D Black or in other words, a print all over the laptop. I am not sure if this makes it look tacky or stylish, depends on the person I guess.
The keyboard is soft to the touch, I am not a fan of this type of keyboard and prefer the logitech style myself, also the Enter Key has a key next to this and I am not a fan of that either (You keep hitting page down instead of enter all the time). The trackpad is off to the left as you can see, I never had any issues with this myself but I did eventually plug in a mouse while setting it up.
There is no ports at all on the back, they managed to squeeze the lot on the left hand side as you can see. Three USB Ports, One VGA port and a RJ45 is all you have. It includes B/G/N Wireless of course (as do most laptops now) and a dell styled power brick.Software as standard
It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium which will suit most people to be honest, I never took much notice if it was 32bit or 64bit. I spotted office but then seen it was a 30 day demo with the option to buy on-line. McAfee Security Centre was installed as the AntiVirus / Firewall of choice (15 months Licence), which kept asking me if I wanted to allow program ‘whatever’ through. We also had Computrace LoJack for Laptops, 1yr license – this is to allow you to get the laptop back should it get stolen.
The Webcam
I am a fan of webcams and wondered what was installed into this – we see this is a 0.3MP webcam probably made by Creative and I tested it out. As expect the quality was pretty bad in low light (aka – my room light), this would maybe suit the occasional skype with your family but maybe get a better one later on if youo do more (such as Live Streaming).
Removing the junk
I removed just about all the included software including the McAfee Security centre – even though this has a 15 Month subscription it asked me a lot of questions to register and a couple of points to note – in 15 months it will just end and the constant pop-ups are not good in my eyes. Once all the software was removed, I installed some workable software that did the same job but for Free and at least it won’t run out on him
Conclusion
For the price of £369 – this is not a bad built laptop, you can probably by the similar specification from Acer, HP or whatever. The good thing was he ordered it and by the next day, it had arrived ready to go.
Toshiba Portege Z935-P300 Ultrabook: Lightweight, for light users
Travel-weary businesspeople will appreciate Toshiba’s latest Portégé model, the Portégé Z935 Ultrabook. Not only is this laptop business-ready, with features such as a VGA-out port (for hooking up to a projector) and WiDi (see next paragraph), it’s one of the lightest 13-inch notebooks we’ve ever seen. It weighs just under 2.5 pounds, so it’s a breeze to tote around to meetings and on business trips.
Our review model, which costs $900 at Best Buy, features a third-generation Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 128GB solid-state drive. It also sports built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and Intel’s WiDi technology, which allows you to connect wirelessly to compatible external displays. The Portégé Z935 runs a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
Performance
The Z935 performs well for its category, scoring 158 (out of 100) on our WorldBench 7 benchmark tests. This means that the Portégé Z935 is 58 percent faster than our baseline model, which has a second-generation Intel Core i5 desktop processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive.
The Portégé Z935 is particularly speedy in startup time, taking just 14.5 seconds, which is quick, even for an Ultrabook. By comparison, our top-rated ultraportable at the moment, the Vizio CT14-A2, starts up in 16.5 seconds.
The Portégé Z935 also does well in a couple of our other individual performance tests, including the storage performance test and the content creation test.
Like other Ultrabooks, the Portégé Z935 has no discrete graphics card. Instead, it relies entirely on Intel’s integrated HD graphics chip, which means that graphics on the Portégé Z935 are just mediocre. In Crysis 2, the Portégé Z935 managed frame rates of between 12.1 frames per second (high-quality graphics, 1366-by-768-pixel resolution) and 25.6 fps (low-quality graphics, 800-by-600-pixel resolution). The Vizio CT14-A2 posted a similar performance, with frame rates of between 11.8 and 26.8 fps on the same tests. The business-oriented Dell Latitude E6330, which is an ultraportable but not an Ultrabook, has slightly better graphics performance.
Battery life on the Portégé Z935 is above average for the Ultrabook category. Intel’s Ultrabook specifications require at least 5 hours of battery life, but we managed to eke 6 hours, 36 minutes out of the Z935 in our lab tests.
Design and usability
Toshiba touts the Portégé Z935 as its thinnest and lightest 13-inch laptop—ever. This appears to be an accurate description, though it should be noted that the company makes concessions to maintain the Portégé Z935’s ultralight construction.
The Portégé Z935 is just 0.63 inches thick at its thickest, and weighs a mere 2.47 pounds sans accessories. By comparison, Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air is 0.68 inches thick at its thickest, and nearly a half-pound heavier at 2.96 pounds sans accessories.
Now, if you’re thinking there’s no such thing as a super sturdy yet ultralight laptop, you’re right. The Portégé Z935 is housed in a light-gray magnesium-alloy chassis, which doesn’t seem terribly durable. The lid, which features a brushed metal finish and a reflective Toshiba logo in the center, is extremely thin and flexible. It flexes quite a bit when the laptop is closed, and feels very flimsy and wobbly when open. Its bottom half feels sturdier, but the entire unit seems a little cheaply made.
The interior is simple, with a brushed metal finish and chromed accents. The keyboard and trackpad both need some work. The keyboard features black island-style soft-touch keys, which have a smooth, velvety finish. The keys themselves are a little too small—short, especially—so it’s difficult to type quickly and accurately, and they aren't textured or indented, so your fingers will constantly be slipping every which way.
The trackpad is adequate, if a little small. It’s the mouse buttons that are hard to use. The trackpad features two discrete mouse buttons that sit flush with the wrist rest and do not depress very much, so they’re stiff and tough to press. The trackpad itself supports multitouch gestures and has smooth, accurate movement.
Most of the ports are on the back of the machine. The left side features a headphone jack, microphone jack, and SD card reader, and the right side has one USB 3.0 port and a Kensington lock slot. The remaining ports—a gigabit ethernet port, HDMI and VGA-out ports, and two USB 2.0 ports (one with Sleep-and-Charge)—are all on the back, where the laptop is thickest.
ROBERT CARDINScreen and speakers
The Portégé Z935 sports a glossy 13.3-inch screen with a native resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels. This resolution is fine—it’s the average resolution we see on Ultrabooks this size—but the display, in general, needs some work. The screen suffers from terrible off-axis viewing angles. In fact, there’s only about a 5-degree vertical range in which the screen looks pretty good; otherwise, the display contrast looks too high or too washed-out.
Color fidelity is also a little off (whites look a little bluish), and colors appear washed out in bright scenes. The screen also shimmers slightly, though this is usually evident only when watching darker scenes.
Video playback is mediocre, which is what we expect from ultraportables with no discrete graphics card. The biggest issue is choppiness and artifacting, which appears in every scene—even ones that have very little movement.
Audio playback is not much better. The Portégé Z935’s speakers are on the bottom of the machine, near the front. They get comfortably loud, but audio is tinny and thin-sounding at all volume levels.
Bottom line
The Toshiba Portégé Z935 Ultrabook gets a solid 2.5-star rating. For some business users, such as those who go to a lot of meetings and make basic presentations, it will be a pretty good laptop. After all, it’s lightweight, is a solid overall performer, and has several nice hookup options, including VGA and HDMI, as well as WiDi and Bluetooth.
For other business users—those who travel often and want to get work done on the fly—the Portégé Z935 is a poor choice. The keyboard and trackpad definitely need some work, and the overall construction doesn’t seem very sturdy. Plus, multimedia performance is pretty weak, even for the ultraportable category.
Toshiba unveils ultra-thin laptop Z830
Toshiba has unveiled what it says is the thinnest notebook yet, the Z830.
The 13.3in notebook – which falls into the "ultrabook" category recently defined by Intel for very thin, light laptops – was shown off at the IFA technology show in Berlin on Thursday. Toshiba also launched a new Android tablet, the AT200.
Andy Bass, Toshiba's sales and marketing chief for the EMEA region, claimed that the company has been "launching ultrabooks for many years now", in that it has always tried to make its laptops thin and light. However, he said, the Z830 was the thinnest and lightest yet.
The Toshiba ultrabook is 15mm thick, despite which it offers three USB ports along with HDMI, VGA and Gigabit Ethernet ports. It weighs 1.11kg. Intel's specification for an ultrabook says it must be 20mm thick at most, and weigh a maximum of 1.4kg.
The AT200 is also fairly thin, at 7.7mm. Running Android Honeycomb 3.2, it weighs 558g and has a 10.1in screen, putting into the same size category as the majority of Android tablets out there, as well as the iPad.
Analysts at Nomura have expressed severe doubts about the viability of the ultrabook category, at least at the price point it seems to currently entail.
Analyst Richard Windsor said in a briefing a week ago that Apple, whose MacBook Air laptop may be said to have spurred on the category, would be very difficult to compete with, given the control it has over its supply lines.
"Here the magic price seems to be $1,000, but it appears that the PC makers are really struggling to make this price point and still preserve a modicum of profit for themselves," Windsor said. "This is the major reason why we do not believe that the ultrabook segment is really going to take off until next year."
Windsor suggested that the advent of Windows 8, which allows the use of ARM's architecture instead of Intel's, would make devices cheaper, as would the availability of low-cost flash memory.
"Just as it is with tablets, non-Apple PC makers will need to be very price competitive before they are likely to see any real traction in that segment and the pieces to allow them to do that are still not really in place," Windsor said.
Toshiba has said it is aiming to have the Z830 come in at under $1,000, but has not announced final pricing.
