Toshiba Satellite C660: another 15.6-inch laptop at the right price / quality ratio

After Dell two weeks ago, today’s turn to launch a Toshiba laptop quality / attractive price, suited for everyday office use for little more than a netbook.

For the general public, the “Toshiba Satellite C660-220″ follows the same recipe as its American rival: the components of the previous generation in any case (3.6 cm thick and 2.54 kg) 15 format, 6 inches (definition WXGA). Its 6-cell battery would give a range of just over 5 h.

Eee PC 1225B: renewal for the netbook from Asus

The “Asus Eee PC 1225B” abandons the aesthetic seashell (shell) in force for some time to open a new case, inspired by the ultra-portable series U, hired both for their finesse and finish. If we are to believe the photos the newcomer would be, like a ultrabook, too thin to accommodate a standard VGA output.
The screen for this purpose from 12.1 to 11.6 inches diagonally, but maintains the definition WXGA (1366 x 768 pixels) and LED backlight.

An LCD 27 "3D e-IPS panel from LG

The manufacturer LG has just introduced its 3D Cinema DM92, an LCD 27 inch diagonal enjoying a passive 3D technology.
With an e-IPS panel, the LCD screen has extremely fine edges (1 mm). The resolution reaches 2560 x 1440 pixels, while viewing angles peak at 178 °. LG also indicates that the 3D Cinema DM92 is 25% more energy efficient than competing models. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not give exact figures ... the price and availability date are not yet known, it will have to wait until CES 2012 to learn more.

Sony Vaio VPCEC3X5E

MacBook Air

The new MacBook Air has arrived, and it is much more successful than the Beaujolais. There are the qualities of the brand: impeccable finish, successful design. And many of the shortcomings of the first version of the Air have been fixed: the machine is more powerful, with a low power Core 2 Duo and DDR3 memory, and most importantly, the price is not astronomical. The machine is very portable, excellent autonomy.
We regret all the same connectivity too light, especially with the lack of ethernet port problem. You have to buy many expensive adapters to correct these defects.

Acer Aspire 5742G-384G75Mn

A great laptop for gaming, and less than 600 euros. It is possible, and that Acer did. The processor is a Core i3-380M, an entry-level and quite versatile enough for most games. The memory is 4 GB, DDR3. We do not know how often though. Above all, the graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT540M, roughly the equivalent of a GT 435M Nvidia or Radeon HD 5650, AMD-ATI.
