The Apple MacBook Pro MC375D strengths are mobility, VGP-BPS13/S an outstanding case, quiet system noise and excellent input devices. The 13.3 inch has gained significantly in graphics performance due to the Geforce 320M. The processor performance, supplied by the old Core 2 Duo P8800, still is behind the latest Core i5s. The battery life of 4:30 hours could be increased due to the somewhat larger battery and more economical GeForce 320M. The drawbacks are still the poor connectivity, omitted UMTS/WiMax and lack of matt display option.VGP-BPS13AS

Actually, principally from the same manufacturer, but then majorly the less expensive entry alternative with 2.4 GHz, as well as the white MacBook is worth looking at. Soonest, the stronger and more expensive Sony Vaio Z11 with Core i processors and dedicated GT 330M graphics in the Windows World.sony vgp-bps22

Acer provides a swift 15.6 incher with the Aspire TimelineX 5820TG-5464G75Mnks. sony vgp-bps22a It has a lot of power inside. Once again, the fast midrange ATI HD 5650 supplies good frame rates in the gaming field. The base unit's, lid's and input devices' workmanship is very good, or at least adequate.sony vgp-bps21a/b The latter applies to the feedback poor mouse pad keys and the keyboard's somewhat imprecise typing feel. The battery life struggles to achieve 3:33 hours with the HD 5650 that can be deactivated (WLAN surfing). A good result, even if Acer's forecasted eight hours remain unreachable in practical use. sony vgp-bps21/s

If you are aiming at the ATI HD 5650, you should look at Acer's Aspire 4820TG Timeline X, Dell's Studio 1749, Acer's Aspire 8942G, TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN, TravelMate 7740G, Toshiba's Satellite L670D-120, L650D-10H and Sony's Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ.sony vgp-bps21b

Case, input devices and graphics performance are still looking for their equals in the 11.6 inch category.sony vgp-bps21 The obsolete Core 2 Duo SU9400 is considerably slower in comparison to cutting edge Core i5 ULV processors. Nevertheless, you won't find notebooks with faster processors at the moment. Even the almost inaudible system noise without high load is definitely a bonus point. The insufficient upgrade possibilities and omitted UMTS modem have to be noted on the con side. It's also a pity that Apple doesn't use AR coated displays.sony vgp-bps21a

As usual for Apple unibody notebooks - design, build quality, and material quality.

There isn't really any. The closest one would be the Sony Vaio X13, which has a much worse performance though.Sony VGP-BPS13

There is strong,Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q standard equipment in the device: a strong Core i5-520M (2x2.4 GHz, Turbo Boost, Hyperthreading) and the Geforce GT 330M (but downclocked). But first and foremost, the Raid 0 configuration of two 64GB Toshiba SSDs makes it to a performance master. The Z12M9E/B placed itself in the top range of the system benchmark,Sony VGP-BPS13A/B PCMark Vantage and PCMark05. The docking port, high-end input devices, the installed 4G module, the excellent matt display and high-end manufacturing backs the business category. The battery life of three hours (WLAN surfing) is adequate, but not especially good.Sony VGP-BPS13/B

The RAID 0 SSDs absolutely destroy our idea of a good system performance. Flash pockets the rotating colleagues.Sony VGP-BPS13B/B

Acer Travelmate 8472TG: 14 inches with a GT 330M; Asus PL30JT-RO030X: i5-520UM alternative with a 6 hour battery life; Lenovo Thinkpad X201: 12.1 inches with i5-540M; HP EliteBook 2540p: solid build and with ultimate connectivity; Acer Travelmate 8172T-33U4G32N: 11.6 inches with i3-330UMSony VGP-BPS13B/Q

If you want a strong battery life without sacrificing viable performance, you should look at the Asus PL30JT-RO080X. All positive features of the new Core i5 generation is available with its ultra low voltage processor (Intel HD incorporated, Turbo Boost (only i5-520UM), Hyperthreading). Sony VGP-BPS13A/S

Starting at 430 Euro, you get an entry-level notebook perfectly suited for office work with a good keyboard, bright screen and particularly low level of system noise—which won it a lot of points. The case is remarkably sturdy for this price range and the battery life of 3-4 hours is also quite nice.Presario CQ40 Battery

It has few features but is still a good notebook. The excellent keyboard, the durable case and the decent processing power at an attractive price.Compaq Presario CQ41 Battery

An anti-glare display would have turned the R530 Nolan into a perfect office notebook.The experimental yet appropriate case surface. This notebook does just fine without a glossy finish. Compaq Presario CQ45 Battery

Three devices are left over that didn't fit into any other notebook class. The Toshiba AC100, a 10" notebook running on Android OS with the Nvidia Tegra processor, is basically a smartphone dressed as a notebook. The device was however not up to standards in our review—working with Android OS via mouse and keyboard was awkward and painstaking. Compaq Presario CQ60 Battery
We also reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab, supposedly the biggest threat to the iPad, although in a more compact pocket-sized format.
Finally, the HP 8540w—an honest-to-goodness Workstation for professionals—was also probed and analyzed. With an overall rating of "Very Good", this notebook has found its place on the market. Compaq Presario CQ61 Battery

Optimization. After the T510, we also look at the up-to-date ThinkPad T410 alternative more closely. Thanks to the incorporated Nvidia Optimus technology, the 14 incher promises longer runtimes including low emissions and yet good performance.Compaq Presario CQ70 Battery

It can be said that the Thinkpad T410 represents the T400's Arrandale upgrade. The formerly reviewed model with an Intel Core i7-620M CPU and Quadro NVS 3100M graphics card didn't use the Intel graphics card GMA HD incorporated into the CPU.Compaq Presario CQ71 Battery

The hardware configuration of the Optimus device at hand is almost unchanged: Core i7 620M CPU, dedicated Nvidia Quadro NVS 3100M graphics card and four gigabyte of DDR3 RAM. But now the user gets a 500 gigabyte hard disk, which also does its job with 7200 revolutions per minute, instead of a 250 gigabyte, 7200 rpm hard disk. HP G50 Battery

Additionally, the buyer can be pleased about the optional WWAN module in opposition to the previously reviewed T410 model. The laptop achieves a better rating in terms of connectivity. Since both devices are otherwise identically constructed, we'll start with the display right away.HP G60 Battery

Our test candidate starts with a display from the same Manufacturer and is the model: LEN4036. Typical for a business device, the display has been AR coated and is thus suitable for use at computer workstations. HP G61 Battery

Alike the predecessor, the display bids a resolution of 1440x900 pixels and consequently a 16:10 format. Therefore, the user wins a bit more height and doesn't have to scroll as much in horizontally aligned applications, for example when several windows are opened, as in a 16:9 format (1366x768).HP G70 Battery

As already the predecessor model, the given color spectrum is narrow. sRGB and AdobeRGB aren't even close to being covered. Laptops, such as the MacBook Pro 13, do a lot better in this category. Nevertheless, this shouldn't turn into a disadvantage if the screen isn't used for image editing.HP G71 Battery

T410 vs.HP Pavilion dv4 Battery MacBook Pro 13 (transparent)The assessment rates are all more or less above that of the T410 2522-3FG model. The maximum brightness of 228 cd/m2 (vs. 202 cd/m2 in the 2522-3FG) was measured in the upper center section. The brightness decreases in all directions from there and ultimately reaches its minimum of 182 cd/m2 in the lower left area. This results in an overall good brightness distribution of 80% and can thus place itself slightly before its predecessor. The same applies to the average brightness of 201 cd/m2 for the test candidate versus 183.4 cd/m2 for the predecessor.HP Pavilion dm4 Battery

In return, the black value of 1.43 cd/m2 is slightly higher than that of the model without Optimus (2522-3FG: 1.37 cd/m2). Nevertheless, it still results in a minimally better contrast ratio of 139:1 (2522-3FG: 136:1). Thus, it's very conceivable that Lenovo has made slight improvements here in favor of a bit more brightness, while the black value has also increased.HP Pavilion dm3 Battery

In fact, black really looks a bit grayish. Although the contrast turns out a bit low, the color reproduction is alright for intended office or internet use. In any event, no viible shadowing was noticed with the naked eye.HP Pavilion dm3t Battery

OutdoorsThere's nothing standing in the way of outdoor use due to the matt surface and an average brightness of about 200 cd/m2. It's great that this brightness is also available in battery mode. Although the display is brighter than the T410 2522-3FG's, the image's contrast almost seems too low and a bit too dark for working fatigueless for a longer time in direct sunlight.HP Pavilion dm3z Battery

In regards to viewing angles, the T410 doesn't differ from the reviewed predecessor and thus doesn't really stand out from the majority of laptop competition. Subjectively, the work area can be called wide on the horizontal plane. In return, slightest deviations from the ideal, perpendicular viewing angle lead to image changes, perceived as dimming, respectively bleaching and consequently to color misrepresentations.Compaq Presario CQ20 Battery

At least the display distributes brightness evenly over the screen (92%). That means the deviations of the LED backlight are very low (homogeneity). The minimum and maximum are only 18 cd/m2 apart. Generally, the luminosity is viable but not especially good with an average of 208 cd/m2.Toshiba PABAS213 Battery

Nevertheless, the Samsung RF510's unreflective display proves to be suitable for outdoor use – at least in cloudy conditions like now in the winter. We can read the display adequately from all positions. We just can't deviate too far left or right, but this is an issue of poor viewing angles.Toshiba PABAS227 PABAS228 Battery

Frontal view, Toshiba PABAS117 Battery cloudyThe RF510's viewing angles prove to be rather tight, just like in approximately 80 percent of our test models. Ghosting appears when our view strays upwards or down (vertically) starting at 20 degrees. We can deviate up to 45 degrees to the right or left (horizontally) from the center. Colors invert strongly beyond that. Viewing angle stable displays are scarce commodity and the RF510 isn't an exception here.Toshiba PABAS178 Battery

Samsung's 15.6 incher is equipped with an Intel Core i5-460M (2x 2.53 GHz). The Core i5 dual core Arrandale CPU is capable of Turbo Boost (up to 2.80 GHz) and Hyperthreading (2 threads per core). Especially Turbo Boost and Hyperthreading provide for an optimum efficiency (multitasking versus single core processing). Further information can be found in application performance.Toshiba PA3535U-1BRS Battery

The processor's maximum power consumption is 35 watts according to TDPToshiba PA3816U-1BRS Battery. Both computer cores need 25 watts. Intel's HD and the memory controller would be entitled to 10 watts. But wait – the energy saving Intel HD isn't enabled in the RF510. Consequently, there is no Nvidia Optimus – the automatic graphics switching that is standard in many notebooks with Nvidia GPUs. The GeForce GT 330M with a 1024 MB DDR3 memory has to cope on its own.Toshiba PA3817U-1BRS Battery

As common for a notebook of this price range, a 4096 MB DDR3 RAM is onboard. Both available bays are occupied (2x2GB).Toshiba PA3818U-1BRS Battery

Intel Core i5-460M (2 x 2.53 GHz)The RF510 does quite well with its i5-460M. The processor test, Cinebench R11.5 (64bit) awards the test system with a proud 2.29 points. There is even slightly more than 520M CPUs (same standard clock rate, 2.2 points). A 430M only achieves 2.0 points and an i3-330M reaches 1.75 points.Toshiba PA3819U-1BRS Battery

The 460M can usually beat the identically clocked 520M in single core calculations (Cinebench R10 single core 64 bit: 3819 points). The latter settles between 3624 and 3815 points in our data base, depending on the device (Lenovo Thinkpad T410s; Asus G73JH).Toshiba PABAS227 Battery

The high PCMark Vantage score as a result of the strong calculating performance isn't surprising: 5772 points. The RF510 even comes dangerously close to performance machines like the 16 inch Sony Vaio F11Z1/E (i7-720QM, GT 330M, 5844 points) or the HP EliteBook 8440p-WJ681AW (i5-520M, Intel HD, 5770 points).Toshiba PABAS229 Battery

Why can the consumer processor, Toshiba PABAS230 Battery i5-460M, move in on the performance of the quad core, i7-720QM? The 460M naturally can't defeat the 720QM in synthetic multi core computing performance (2.29 versus 2.6 – 3.0 points, Cinebench R11.5). Toshiba PA3780U-1BRS Battery In reference to the system's total performance, both 460M's cores can keep up quite well because the 720QM's standard clock rate of 1.6 GHz is low. Or said differently: PCMark Vantange doesn't give the four cores (eight threads) enough credit. Applications, like video editing with multi core encoding (e.g. CyberLink Power Director), will benefit from the 720QM (See Samsung RF710).Toshiba PA3820U-1BRS Battery

The 500 GB hard disk form Hitachi (HTS545050B9A300) has a share in the good PCMark Vantage rating.Toshiba PA3821U-1BRS Battery The HDD score is 3531 points (above average for 5200 rpm). The data throughput for read, determined by HDTune, is 66.9 MB/s. Even the burst rate is above average with 117 MB/s. The latter indicates the throughput with which the HDD cache can read available data. CrystalDiskMark 3.0 also records high read rates of 86 MB/s (different routine than HDTune).Toshiba PA3727U-1BRS Battery

The Cinebench R11.5 CPU test (multi-core) finished on 1.79 points.Aspire 5332 battery The sister-APU A6-3410MX (Samsung 305V5A) managed 2.0 points (+13%). This means the CPU part of the APU is even inferior to the smallest Core i3-2310M (2.0 points). An i5 is even faster, for instance the 2410M (2.3 GHz, Turbo Boost) which scores 2.6 points. The R11.5 test is absolutely typical; the other CPU tests (wprime, R10) also suggest performance at a level slightly below that of a current Core i3.Aspire 5335 battery

The CPU’s Turbo speed is 2.3 GHz according to the spec sheet. Aspire 5516 battery But with all Fusion systems, the GPU has priority; this means that when the GPU is under stress, the CPU speed is restricted in favour of the GPU TDP. It may be down to the imprecision of Tools, but the speed of a single core never exceeded 2.0 GHz during our testing. Even this figure was only touched on for a fraction of a second (it would be better to say 1.8 GHz).Aspire 5517 battery

The screenshots show CPU usage with/ without concurrent GPU usage. Aspire 5536 battery What is interesting is that during gaming, the speed is limited to 800 MHz. A Cinebench R11.5 CPU benchmark which was run alongside the game was not able to raise the speed. Even once the game had ended, Cinebench had to be started up again before it could enjoy the use of 1.5 GHz. The results of the gaming tests, however, do not show any drop in performance, in fact quite the opposite at times.Aspire 5536G battery

PCMark 7 Gesamt-ScoresIn the PCMark Vantage benchmark, the Fusion system manages 3,808 points. The sister-APU the 3410MX (Samsung 305V5A) reaches 4,873 points with somewhat more speed (1.6 instead of 1.4 GHz x 4) and a faster hard drive (HDD score: 3,224 instead of 2,733). As with the pure CPU performance, this puts our quad-core Fusion system quite some way behind the Core i3 (Samsung 200B5B-S01DE, 2310M, 4,874) and i5 laptops (Asus X53E-SX082V, 2410M, HD 3000, 4,887).Aspire 5542 battery,

In the PCMark 7 our test system scored 1,542 points (Samsung 305V5A: 1,562). Here, the most recent Futuremark test seems to take the higher GPU performance into account, making up for the hard drive and the slower clock speed. This means the i3 competition is not so far ahead anymore: compare with the Vostro 3350 (1,751 points), Asus U30SD (1,772 points), and ProBook 4530s (1,921 points). Aspire 5542G battery

The HD 6650M in our Fusion notebook can only partly be said to offer the same performance as the HD 6650M in the Packard Bell EasyNote LS11-HR-050GE (600/900, core/memory speed) or in the Sony Vaio VPC-Z21Q9E (600/900). The reason for this is the different speeds (600/900 here) and their being combined with powerful Intel CPUs. The Crossfire option in our review model makes a comparison virtually impossible. Some games/ benchmarks are boosted by it, while some negate its benefits.Aspire 5735Z battery

We look then at that constant of the benchmarking world, the 3DMark06, which gives a score of 6,186 points. An Nvidia GT 540M scores 8,000 points here on average, and a (rare) HD 6650M makes it to 7,250 points (in the EasyNote LS11). For the games and the synthetic benchmarks, Crossfire was always activated. A 3DMark06 test without Crossfire ended on an identical 6,145/ 2,148 points (score/ CPU value). Aspire 5738 battery

The 3DMark Vantage (P) benchmark ended its run-through on 3,864 points. The HD 6470M in the Samsung 305V5A managed only 3,224 points. The Geforce GT 540M produces an average of 4,400 points (Intel CPU). Incidentally, the review model was running Catalyst 8.861.0.0.Aspire 5738G battery

A 3DMark 11 test ended on P1,404/ G1,439 points, where the score without Crossfire was about 40% lower. This boost puts the Asus K53TA level with or above laptops with singular powerful GPUs: GT 550M (1,107; Asus N53SN), HD 6770M (1,407; HP Pavilion dv7-6101eg) or the GT 540 (1,023; Samsung RF511). The fastest GT 540M system reached a score of 1,033 points only through the help of a 2630QM quad-core in the 3DMark 11 test (Sony Vaio VPC-F21Z1E/BI). Aspire 5738Z battery

The K53TA-SX026V has a 5,400 rpm hard drive made by Seagate. The 500 GB HDD 9ST9500325AS) reads at a rate of 65 MB/s in the drive’s sequential read data. That figure is relatively average. This is partly to blame for the comparatively weak system performance as reflected in the PCMark Vantage test. The HDD can be heard making some background noise and a soft clattering while in use.Aspire 5738ZG battery

The Radeon HD 6720G2 Dual Graphics,Aspire 5740 battery the name given to this combination of HD 6520G and HD 6550M, acquitted itself very well in our gaming tests. AMD have put a stop to the bluescreen crashes seen previously and the Crossfire throttling in an HP Pavilion dv6-6110eg (Llano), which were caused by driver problems. The phenomenon of micro-stuttering during Crossfire use did not stand out negatively in any of the test games. However, stuttering could clearly be seen during the 3DMark Vantage benchmark.Aspire 5740DG battery

The gaming tests ran with the dual graphics system without any driver issues; Crossfire was always activated (standard settings). For Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and StarCraft 2 we tested the effect of Crossfire. Only Battlefield enjoyed 8 additional fps through Crossfire.Aspire 5740G battery

The good gaming results are striking, showing the AMD Radeon HD 6720G2 ‘package’ to be as good as (Dirt 3, Risen) or better than (Battlefield) a ‘faster’ single Nvidia GT 540M. But, StarCraft 2 (-10%) and Deus Ex HR (-34%) run better on the Nvidia GPU. Aspire AS5740 battery,

Five USB ports (2x USB 3.0) are also generous. Only few will want to connect more peripherals. Additionally, there is a card reader, a Kensington lock and an eSATA port. We can't really complain about the interface distribution. Since the most important ports are located at the rear, the lateral areas remain free to the largest extent.Compaq Presario CQ40 Battery

A wireless module is included without an extra charge. Our test device was equipped with an Intel Centrino Wireless N 130 (2.4 GHz). It supports WLAN b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1. The optionally available Bigfoot Killer N is superior in terms of software and features, but doesn't include Bluetooth.Compaq Presario CQ41 Battery

Deviltech pleasantly restrains itself in terms of preinstalled software. The gaming laptop is free of bloatware. The manufacturer limits itself to the most important software. The so-called "Eco mode" is worth mentioning. It can be enabled via an FN key combo and sets the display brightness as well as energy savings options to various scenarios such as "office", "movie" or "game". Compaq Presario CQ45 Battery

The scope of delivery is rather modest. Besides a bulky 180 watt power adapter and a strong 9 cell battery, Deviltech only includes a quick start guide and a driver & tool DVD in the box.Compaq Presario CQ50 Battery

The standard warranty has a runtime of 24 months. The warranty period can be extended to three years for an additional 150€.Compaq Presario CQ60 Battery

The input devices were only satisfactory to an extent. We'll start with the keyboard that has a dedicated numpad, free-standing keys (14x14 mm/ 0.5"x0.5") and a pleasant typing feel. Volume and brightness control are feasibly mapped to the arrow keys – a good idea.Compaq Presario CQ61 Battery

In return, the manufacturer shouldn't have tried out a new layout. The "<>" key and the "#" key aren't found in their usual places. The single-rowed "enter" key also needs getting used to. The cheap sounding typing noise and the omitted light are additional minus points.Compaq Presario CQ70 Battery

The touchpad is one of the biggest drawbacks of the Fragbook. The mouse cursor responds rather imprecise and springy. The supported gestures (zoom, scroll & rotate) often react with delay or not at all. In the meantime, the undefined mouse keys are annoying due to their high pressure resistance. Compaq Presario CQ71 Battery

But then again, the touchpad isn't a complete failure after all. The good size (83x47 mm / 3.3"x1.9") and the ratio of good feedback and gliding capability (slightly roughened surface) would be mentioned on the pro side. The deactivation option also earns praise.HP G50 Battery

Matching to the strong innards, a Full HD model with an LED backlight is used for the screen (16:9). 1920x1080 pixels not only supply a sharp picture, but also allow the convenient use of multiple windows.HP G60 Battery

Since the pricing is fairly low in view of the high performance components, we predicted that the display quality would be poor. But far from it: The installed CMO1720 screen can well compete with a good external screen. HP G61 Battery

Due to its low black value (0.32 cd/m2), dark areas don't fade to gray – unlike many competing products. The brightness is also great. Only few devices surpass 300 cd/m2. Overall, this results in an excellent contrast of 988:1. The colors make a strong impression despite the matt surface. Games and movies really come alive.HP G70 Battery

Deviltech Fragbook vs. AdobeRGB (grid)The biggest advantage of a matt screen surface is the low susceptibility for reflections. Outdoor use doesn't turn into a stress test for the eyes. It's possible to spend an hour or more on the balcony or in the garden without ado. Glossy screens already present annoying reflections indoors.HP G71 Battery

Another bonus point is the good viewing angles. The image first changes in large deviations. It makes a nice movie night with friends possible without problems. The only thing that we have to criticize about the screen is the grainy image reproduction. Homogeneous surfaces look coarse when looking closer.HP Pavilion dv4 Battery

Unsurprisingly, Deviltech relies on Intel's latest Sandy Bridge generation for the processor. The buyer has to choose between a dual and a quad core model from the popular Core i5, respectively Core i7 range. Our test sample was equipped with the currently cheapest quad core model, Core i7-2630QM.HP Pavilion dm4 Battery

A default clock of 2.0 GHz may seem very low at first glance. However, it can automatically be overclocked up to 2.9 GHz thanks to the so-called Turbo Boost technology (provided the cooling is adequate). 995 million transistors and a six MB L3 cache aren't bad either.HP Pavilion dm3 Battery

Additionally, a few applications benefit from the Hyper Threading technology.HP Pavilion dm3z Battery It supports every physical core with a virtual counterpart. Thus, four additional cores are available and the Core i7-2630QM can process up to a total of eight threads at the same time. Beyond that, Intel embeds a graphics chip, called HD Graphics 3000, into the Sandy Bridge processors (not enabled in the Fragbook). The CPUs are manufactured in a 32 nm process. Note: The Core i7-2630QM will presumably be replaced by the i7-2670QM in the near future.HP Pavilion dm3t Battery

As our Sandy Bridge comparison shows, most games are limited by the graphics card and not the processor. However, we would recommend using a quad core model because of its higher future security. We checked if it is worth upgrading from a Core i7-2630QM to the more expensive i7-2760QM (here the Schenker XMG P701 PRO) with Cinebench R10, among other benchmarks.Compaq Presario CQ20 Battery
