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.

LDLC offers a range of 15-inch notebook PC, designed and assembled by them. We greatly appreciate their B1, which is really well thought out, and for a record price.It has a very good processor (Core i3 350), an excellent graphics card for movies, correct for the game, 250 GB hard drive.

MSI GX640-279

A very robust configuration for the game, even if we regret the hard disk of 500 GB only 5400 revs / minute. But still, to 789 euros, it has an Intel Core i5-450M, 4GB of DDR3 RAM at 1066 MHz and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850. What all run, but the relatively slow hard drive could hinder shipments.

MSI FX603-033

Much like the HP Pavilion DV6, this laptop costs 30 euros more for overall performance very similar. We find an Intel Core i5 460M 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM DDR3 1333 MHz, a 640 GB hard drive, but at 5400 rev / min and an Nvidia GeForce GT425M. A configuration strong enough, damage the hard drive is quite slow.
