MacBook Pro
Price: Rs 1,09,990

There’s nothing new in the latest Apple MacBook Pro series, at least appearance wise, yet everything they do evidence of an upgrade. So what has changed?

The new range of MacBook Pro features the same unibody design that was introduced by Apple last year. The body is crafted from a solid piece of aluminum and the design is probably one of the best-designed notebooks available in the market, with unquestionable build quality.

The new 15-inch MacBook Pro model we tested was the base model that comes with a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GT 330M graphics processor, with 256MB of GDDR3 RAM. This is a specification you should look out for if you are buying a laptop for home use.

The new MacBook Pro is best described as a speed demon – it starts up fast, launches applications quickly and the multi-touch trackpad does a new scrolling trick where you can flick two fingers to scroll with momentum, as on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Further, multitasking had never been so easy on a laptop.

The system delivers between eight and nine hours of battery life from a single charge. It is available in three models – the 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 320GB hard drive MacBook costs Rs 109,900; the 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 with 500GB hard drive machine costs Rs 119,000 and the 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 backed with a 500GB hard drive MacBook is priced at Rs 129,900.

Fujitsu S670 Lifebook
Price: Rs 1,02,500

If Apple does not cut ice with you, perhaps Fujitsu’s S670 Lifebook would. Fujitsu Lifebook S670 is capable of replacing your desktop.

It’s nothing fancy – a 13.3-inch display, well-spaced keyboard and just 1.6 kg in weight. And, even though the Lifebook S760 looks a little chunky, compared to some of the newer ultra-slim laptops on the market, it is no more than 30mm in thickness.

We tested the Lifebook S670, powered by Intel Core i5 processor, with a 2-GB DDR3 RAM and 320-GB hard drive. This configuration helped in faster booting and data transfer from laptop to external hard drives.

Lifebook S670 does not even slow down when security software is running a full system scan, which is worth mentioning. On the multimedia front, the notebook was able to convert a 120MB MP4 file to AVI format in 60 seconds flat, whereas the average ultraportable takes above 2.5 minutes.

We found the touchpad to be a little small for comfort but since it does not support multi-touch gestures, it may not be a big hurdle for users. But the real Achilles heel is the S670’s battery life, which averages four hours (depending on usage).

A longtime iPhone and iPod touch app, Google Earth has been updated to version 3.0 with a handful of new features. Most notably, the app has gained a native iPad version, complete with a new toolbar, a search field, and a layers popover for choosing exactly what kinds of information you want to view while you’re floating around.

The world of personal computing is changing. Judging from sales figures, laptops have long surpassed desktops as the dominant form of computer. The surge in netbook sales has shown that users are willing to sacrifice performance in the name of portability and price. More important, smartphones are now fully functional computers with a wide variety of applications and services that are rapidly gobbling up users’ time and money. With laptops falling in price, premium netbooks rising in cost, and no-contract smartphones commanding $400 or more, the differences in price are not necessarily that great.

Before you make a purchasing decision, consider what you want to do with your new mobile device. In this guide, I describe several common portable-computing tasks and discuss the pros and cons of the various devices for each.

AMD has picked up a fair bit of ground in the netbook space lately with support from the likes of HP and Acer, and it looks like it’s now added yet another big partner — ASUS is relying on some AMD hardware for its just-announced Eee PC 1201K netbook.

 That’s an AMD Geode NX 1750 processor backed up by a SiS 741GX/966L chipset, to be specific, which is complemented by some mostly ordinary specs otherwise, including a 1GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, a 0.3-megapixel webcam, a built-in memory card reader and, somewhat interestingly in light of yesterday’s news, Windows XP Home for an OS. No word on pricing or availability just yet.

Grab your Dramamine and couch-sickness bags, Sony’s long anticipated 3D update for its PlayStation 3 video game console will finally be available tomorrow. In a post to Sony’s official PlayStation blog, hardware marketing director John Koller writes “the moment is here…starting tomorrow, high-definition stereoscopic 3D gaming will be available in your very own living rooms!”

We knew the the place and the price, just needed to know when the party starts. You can grab a pre-order for the $600 netbook ($300 with two-year contract) at Best Buy and pick it up November 15. [Engadget]
