Lenovo ThinkPad X301

As far as we were concerned, Lenovo?s ThinkPad X300 was already a stellar ultra-portable Windows-based laptop. Okay, so it has no FireWire or DVI ports and opting for a solid state drive (SSD) added a lot of extra cost, but the machine offered performance, battery life, quality, reliability and functionality at a great price. Just four months on and Lenovo has unveiled its successor, the ThinkPad X301. The slim-and-light system, again seen as a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook Air, offers more storage options in addition to DDR3 memory and the latest low-voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

Constructed with carbon and glass fibre, the ThinkPad X301 is one of the most robust systems in its class. Okay, so its wholly-black exterior won?t turn you on, but for pitching to clients or working on the move it?s perfectly acceptable. Furthermore it includes a ?ThinkPad Roll Cage? to help protect the machine from falls and drops. But perhaps the system?s biggest technological leap is its 1.8-inch 64/128GB SSD that provides more than twice the performance of a regular 2.5-inch hard disk drive. And with no moving parts the technology offers more than four times greater shock resistance as well as greater energy efficiency than traditional hard disk drives, helping to increase battery life to around 4 hours. If you need more than 128GB storage, you?ll be pleased to know that Lenovo has a new batch of ThinkPad X301s with SATA hard disks.

The model we reviewed was powered by a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor, Intel Mobile G M45 Express chipset, 2GB of DDR3 (1067MHz) system memory (upgradable to 3GB), and Intel Mobile GMA 4500 MHD graphics chipset. The new processor helps the ThinkPad X301 realise measurable gains over its predecessor, though it trails similar systems that were built on full-voltage Centrino 2 processors. The system?s 13.3-inch LED backlight WXGA+ (1440x900 pixels) display is more energy-efficient performance than most LCD displays, but it is so dim that it make mood lighting jealous. The viewing angles aren?t great either, nor is it widescreen, so it?s not an ideal machine for watching movies.

Lenovo faced a great challenge when designing the ThinkPad X301. It had to make things really small without losing key capabilities, such as performance, battery life, quality, reliability and functionality. With thanks to Intel?s ever-shrinking Centrino platform Lenovo has created a laptop that is amazingly thin and light, is built like a tank, and offers plenty of configuration options. The system offers all the benefits of its predecessor, plus better performance.

As far as we?re concerned the ThinkPad X301 is the best overall ultra-portable laptop on the planet if you?re looking for one machine that does pretty much everything.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8020

Fujitsu business notebook has been in people's minds on the possession of a special status, this Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 is also true. It looks and before the appearance of the P8010 is not much change in the use of the same distinctive black mirror Yaguang tune, although the only engineering plastics material, but in aspects of robustness and resistance to abrasion or so we are very rest assured.

The Fujitsu LifeBook P8020 uses Core 2 U9400 low voltage processor and Intel X4500 integrated graphics, in the actual performance can only be described as in the general level, and even HP 2530P and ThinkPad association also lower compared to some. At that time, from an overall point of view, a longer life as well as the relative balance of performance and be able to meet our day-to-day needs of most applications.

Apple MacBook Air - 1.8 GHz

This product is Apple Macbook Air 1.8Ghz. First of all, the new MacBook Air 1.86 GHz is identical to the first generation of Apple's extremely lightweight laptops. Inside, it's quite different, offering a new and faster processor, upgraded video circuitry, a faster frontside bus, speedier RAM, and a new display connector. As a result, the second-generation MacBook Air is superior to the original. However, the substantial upgrades that Apple has made to the rest of the MacBook line threaten to narrow the MacBook Air's already limited appeal even further.

Specification of Apple Macbook such as :
* Mac OS X v10.5.1 Leopard and Windows Vista Ultimate
* Intel Core 2 Duo P7500 1.6GHz (4MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus)
* 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
* 80GB 4200rpm parallel ATA hard disk drive
* 13.3" glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display (1280 x 800)
* Intel GMA X3100 graphics (144MB of shared memory)
* iSight webcam
* AirPort Extreme WiFi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n)
* Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
* Micro DVI, USB 2.0 port (480Mbps), Audio out
* Dimensions : 0.16-0.76", 12.8", 8.94" (H, W, D)
* Weight: 3.0 pounds (3lbs 0.6oz actual)
* Integrated 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery
* 45W MagSafe power adapter with cable management system (6.5oz)

In additon, the machine seemed to enjoy running inside Vista more than it did OS 10, but bugs were prevalent all throughout bootcamp with the current Apple-provided drivers. The touchpad was the source of many problems, including six bluescreens and 30+ touchpad lockups from "multiple touches." While the features worked occasionally trying to use the scrolling motions or even tapping multiple fingers on the touchpad would be enough to lock until a reboot. The bluescreens would often come at random, with the culprit always being the "Applemtp.sys" driver crashing. More than a few times the machine would bluescreen when I was not even touching anything on the notebook. The keyboard backlight was another source of problems, rarely working inside Vista. 10% of the time the backlight worked from system startup, but would quickly turn off 5-10 minutes later. When you would try to adjust the brightness the on-screen display would display an "X" as if the device was not present.

Finally this product is real laptop with very nice design and completed features, how about you?
