BLACK FRIDAY CARRIED NO DEALS

I was preparing to write a long post about all the great deals that I found on Black Friday, but after waiting in line for 5 hours at my local Best Buy I can safly tell you that minus gas expensives I saved round about $300.

Best Buy did have a few reasonable deals but nothing to brag about, and unfortunately most the other stores carried nothing better. My advice though is to wait out the Holiday season, I've been checking on deals for Laptops for the past 2 months and so far the best deals only save you a few bucks.

But I must commend Dell on having the best deal so far. If you head over to the Dell store you can save yourself up to $500 on select XPS systems. Not bad if you ask me, and couple that with Dell's outstanding customer service I think its the best deal you will find for this holiday season.

APPLE MACBOOK BLACK ( SANTA ROSA ) REVIEW

A magnificent combination, that of Apple's Leopard OS, attractive design and Intel's power platform, Santa Rosa, this notebook has attracted our interest. Is it worth the attention? Lets check it out.

Design
Superb design, the words escape me even before I can detail you with it. Covered in a full black cloak,with only 1” thickness and weighing a little over 2 kgs, this is the most portable notebook I have come across recently. The product has 2 USB ports, 1 Firewire, and Bluetooth 2.0, and WiFi of course. The absence of memory-card slots and Express-slots is a drawback though. A 13.3” screen resides under its hood, which is good in presenting color contrasts and quality, and supports a large range of viewing angles. A 1.3MP webcam, which is integrated into the laptop, makes a good option for video conferencing. The keyboard layout is trademark Apple style, very ergonomically designed and a boon for touch-typists.

Performance
The laptop comes with a 2/2.2 Ghz Intel Core-2-Duo processor, 1 GB RAM, 80/120/160GB of storage space and a combo-drive/DVD-writer depending on the model. The notebook scored a decent score of 3527 in PCMark 05 which can be labeled as good for the notebooks of this category. Multi-tasking sessions did not see a problem at all, owing to the ample memory, storage and good processor power. However, its performance in the visual department was not very encouraging. It scored a meagre 1752 3DMarks, which can be blamed on to the old generation Intel onboard graphics processor. The battery performance is excellent for the notebooks of this category, with the machine lasting nearly 4 and a half hours on near-full load.

Conclusion
The laptop has its share of good and bad, but the good triumphs over the bad. Artistic design, good performance, flawless Leopard OS make this as a viable option, even for those who are planning to shift to Mac from PC, but are reluctant due to the learning curve involved.

Pros
+ Great design
+ Good performance
+ Great battery backup

Cons
- Poor graphics performance
