LENOVO IDEAPAD U110 REVIEW – COMPLETE STYLE REDEFINED

The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 is the newest inclusion to the IdeaPad family and has freshly been gathering a lot of interests. Lenovo might be renowned for the ThinkPad line of laptops, but the majority of standard consumers don't find the customary style spec of the ThinkPad line to be very striking.

Design
The IdeaPad U110 is astonishingly solid in requisites of fabricate superiority. The aluminum etches flaunt cover and a complete magnesium aluminum framework that provide both potency and trivial. You can bear down on the unit as hard as you would like on the body of the laptop and it simply will not bend. Like the ThinkPad linage, the IdeaPad U110 is intended for (unintentional) cruelty and drops, and we're presuming that the U110 might be the most rugged notebook in the IdeaPad lineup.

Performance
Let's be reasonable, the IdeaPad U110 was not build to participate with your desktop encumbered with the power of a quad core processor. Thin travel laptops like the U110 utilize low voltage processors to marmalade power and shrink high temperature build-up. The IdeaPad U110 utilizes an Intel 1.60GHz Core 2 Duo L7500 processor that's quite proficient of successive office applications and performing any universal web linked errands, but will not dish up fighting fit for 3D graphics applications or any profound duty interpretation tasks.

Similarly, the Intel X3100 incorporated graphics will permit you to engage in recreation for a little light games, perhaps even Half Life 2 on low setting, but in all-purpose you'll fancy to fasten to e-mail, web browsing, Office and photo editing errands. That's sufficient for the majority of standard customers ... predominantly if you previously have a prevailing desktop.

The hard disk storage space could have supplemented concert if it was a 5400rpm or higher rpm rated drive. Better still; a wonderful fast SSD would have prearranged the U110 a little supplementary "snappiness." Regrettably, the slow 4200rpm hard drive on the U110 only prepared the system that much slower at times of daily use.
The 11.1" WXGA (1366 x 768) display on the U110 is pleasant and vivid, but suffers from a noteworthy degree of "graininess."

The keyboard fitted on the IdeaPad U110 has nil flex and brilliant key travel with hushed presses. Lenovo has additional a lustrous "piano paint" finish to the keys so that they don't wear off and obtain all gleaming over time. Lenovo provisions both the regular 4-cell battery power pack as well as the 7-cell extended life battery for the U110. The 4 – cell promises 2 hours and the 7-cells packs punch for 6 hours usage.

Overall
On the whole the notebook is so loaded with the features that are so specific of the Lenovo brand. The brand image is clearly carried forward with loads of personal interest and care. U110 is an overall package of pride & integrity.

Pros
+ Built quality is really good.
+ Battery choices are well sorted.
+ Well laid out keyboard.

Cons
- Graphics could have been better.
- SSD could have been a good choice.

SAGER NP6790 ROCKS WITH ITS COMBO STYLE NOTEBOOK - BIT OF EVERYTHING - REVIEW

Sager provides a Notebook for everyone. Irrespective of whether you’re a hardcore gamer, mobile internet addict or a combination of both the two you are sure to discover a laptop that will match your requirements from Sager. The Sager NP6790 matches gamers with the low voltage Geforce 8400 graphics card, providing added battery existence than the supplementary powerful graphics cards.

Design
The 1st intuition on the NP6790 is its crystal clean design. A sparkled dark metal appearing plastic on the hood looks very reputable no matter what is the purpose you are purchasing the laptop. Most laptop vendors slap their label straight on the middle of the lid but that is never the way for Sager. Sager perfects a spotless smooth lid with a minuscule insignia on the top left of the cover that reads: “Sager Notebook Computer.”
Performance
The display, like all Sagers, is amazingly sharp and bright, enclosing a lot of properties from the Sager’s earlier versions like the 5460, 9260 and 5790 variants. This model holds the 17" WXGA (1440 x 900).

The placate level on the keyboard is regular. The keyboard is in a grand arrangement for typing. The laptop is thin so seated too high off the ground is never a distress.

The Touchpad on the NP6790 riddles me. Sager had this mastered already way long back on their previous Sager laptops, on the other hand for some strange reason the scroll bar is not as proficient as it was on the previous variants. There are 3 Hot Keys provided for Application situated at the top of the keyboard. These have turned out to be customary on all of the sager models. Wi-Fi is not a choice in the NP6790 rather it is a regular feature.

There are 2 speakers situated on the left and right side of the NP6790 laptop.
The eminence of the webcam pictures are very meager evaluated to earlier sager models.

The NP6790 does an enormously cool job recognizing high CPU progressions and amends the fans consequently. The battery love affair with notebook reaches its peak performance when it comes to battery life. The battery is a super cool performer end of the day.

Overall
This a notebook which really calls in to reveal the future contents of s regular notebook. Sager takes the big leap by being the first to show off its prowess’s. Good multimedia features clubbed with decent display and good battery this is a real cool combo on offer. Overall a competition, that the contenders in the laptop industry couldn’t avoid.

Pros
+ Multifaceted features
+ Graphics & cooling
+ Battery life

Cons
- Design cues getting compared to old versions.
- Disappointing touchpad framing.
