Latest Laptop Series, History, Trend, Strengths and Weaknesses

When the society looks back on the past few decades and the infancy of the World wide web can be correctly defined, it will most likely be chronicled that the Internet is the greatest learning tool since the printing press. Even small African communities where basic electricity can at times be a scarcity, personal computers and the World wide web are changing the way people view the world. In addition to millions of pages devoted to news, politics, and other things, tech news are often a dominant subject matter on a medium run by the most recent technological discoveries. Here are just a few internet sites you can visit for the latest technology news.

The website cNet has been a frontrunner in technology for many years. Not only do they have a pile of news and stories devoted to technological innovation, but they also have a seemingly never-ending amount of product critiques. In addition they run the well-liked Download.com site which lets you download trials of computer software or freeware and shareware applications from around the globe. Ask just about any hardcore computer nerd about this site and they'll probably tell you that they've it bookmarked and that they check-in with cNet at least once per day.

Another option you have is to inform yourself from various TV shows that feature the latest device and so on. This could well be done, but you will have to be in front of the television every time the show is on which means that you'll need to make your schedule around your favorite shows. An alternative is to record them when you don't have time when they're being broadcasted live and to watch all of them at a later time but at that time, you won't be watching the latest technology news at all, you would only be catching up!

Another of my favorite netbook models would have to be the Toshiba Mini laptop. This netbook is also a staple in any mini laptop reviews. It has a set of great specs/features, a sleek design and a comfortable keyboard. I am also a sucker for Toshiba laptops (they are very reliable and durable) as with many, so I am sure that the Toshiba brand alone would be enough to propel the sales of the Toshiba Mini. If you would like to get something cheaper, you can consider the Acer Aspire One or Dell Mini netbook. These two models are considered as 'entry-level' netbooks.

MacBooks have generally offered very strong performance, and the latest MacBook Pro is no exception. The notebook is powered by Intel's latest generation of "Sandy Bridge" processors, the Core I line. The processor is a dual-core Core i5, which runs at 2.4 GHz and has a shared L3 cache for better multi-tasking performance. The performance of the i5 is somewhere between the cheaper Core i3 and the more expensive i7. For most applications, the Core i5 processor, combined with 4 GB of installed RAM, has more than enough processing power to get the job done.

The MacBook Pro is not a "gaming" computer, but still offers modest graphics performance. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 is an integrated, rather than a stand-alone, graphics chip. While not as powerful as a separate graphics processor, the 3000 can handle many of the latest games, albeit on low graphics settings and with occasional glitches. For games and other graphic-intensive software like Photoshop or AutoCAD, you might want to consider a laptop with a discrete graphics card.
