Asus N82Jv-x 1

ASUS N82Jv-X 1 is a great system, which is a short time. It is the cover, is a powerful Core i5 processor and Nvidia GPU as well as a separate graphics Association Optimus technology. Unfortunately, such as its short at the same level-Optimus is detrimental to its battery, when setting tyre-rolling noise, but if you find the sales system ensures fast enough you will not regret it.

5. in the case of 2 Pounds, 13.8 x 9.7 x 1.4 inches, N82Jv-X-1 ($ 999) is a little heavier and thicker than competitors such as lighter and thinner Gateway-ID 49C08u. Although it is light enough to carry your bag, N82Jv-X-1: n bulk takes up more space than we would like.

The cover is equipped with an interesting tapioca pattern, dark brown, with a metallic effect, when the light falls just right.Similar, Asus N82JQ-A1, the inside of the lid accented, soft-touch matte finish, which helps to keep the region with a fingerprint freely.

To the right (which has a white space led) the physical power button and the corresponding button on the left is quick-a criterion for establishing their suitability for N82Jv-X 1 design, but we've wanted to see the launch shortcuts or has a fixed media controls. Function command allows you to adjust the volume (FUNCTION KEY + F12 will increase or decrease the F11) to play during the take is a little annoying.


ASUS N82Jv chiclet style keyboard provided sufficient feedback, it is important when you play in the first person Shooters, and we have the key arrangement does not make complaints. We have found less flex N82Jv-x-1 N82Jq-A1.

3.25 mm x 2-inch touchpad is quite high and the textured surface (same as tapioca pattern, the lid), our fingers or the migration prevented the irtipääsyn gaming in Windows 7. It was a little one dropper than we would like to persuade, though.

14-inch Glossy, 1366 x 768 pixel LED-backlit screen produced reasonably bright images and sharp colors, but the left something to be desired viewing angles. Screen high gloss may, under certain conditions the inconvenience, but the trade-off is a deeper colors of its values. Glare did not disruptive, even our well-lit lab, although the sunlight was a much larger problem.

Videos when viewing quality ASUS N82Jv-X 1 was smooth and free of noise.Streaming "Wanda Sykes Show" fox.com was flat, but the image quality was considerably pikselöitynyttä.Pixelation, however, was watching the 720 p trailer out of the movie "Takers", when stream, QuickTime.

Below is a list of the keyboard, despite the fact that they are placed, Altec Lansing speakers were strong and clearly when you are listening to Jay-Z and Tupac through Pandora and we did not hear the typical in most notebook speakers tinniness or distortions.In front of the lip of the system, as well as their location helps to keep the speakers accidentally blocked, while typing.The largest volume of the sound is not overpowering, yet is loud, fill in the medium-sized quiet mode.

N82Jv-X 1 certainly does not have the ports system is on the left side of the VGA connection, headphone and microphone, HDMI port of the Centre's revenue shall be carried out and the Super fast USB 3-port on the right side of the small plastic. the door is a standard USB 2.0-connector, eSATA port and an Ethernet connection between, on the front of the speakers of the system. A 5-in-1 card reader, 2 Megapixel camera produced a clear images, when Skype video conferencing and the sound quality was crystal clear on the one hand, the images were slightly. [citation needed] in a noisy and motion detection lagged slightly. N82Jv-X 1 is involved in the ASUS: n LifeFrame software, which allows you to capture your video and then take pictures, edit, and apply special effects to its face recognition technology  is not perfect, but pre-effects LifeFrame is worth trying.

HP Envy 14 Beats Edition

Envy 14, HP's followup-to its MacBook Pro challengers Release company to make some major improvements to the design, ergonomics and a value. And just as last year, HP has taken the emissions of the cooperation within the framework of the Beats by Dr. Dre Beats Audio Special Edition version of the placing on the market. Envy 14 Beats Edition of ditches professional mixing Tools category 15-inch version will be offered at a much lower price. The specific features of this version are mostly only aesthetic thrives and combined Beats headphones, but pays $ 1,149 $ 2,249 instead. The result is a stunning notebook, which pumps out some of the best sound, we heard from the $ 100 laptop for a reasonable fee, on a regular basis through Envy 14.

Editor's note: parts of this review has been included in the original HP Envy 14 our review.

Dioniin Envy 14 Beats Edition looks the same as its predecessor, Special Edition Envy 15.The original Envy taupe, syövytetyn aluminium and magnesium body Envy 14 Beats Edition is a smooth, matte black. According to the Red Beats by Dr. Dre sits prominently in the center of the logo, and subject to extend the scope of the cover on the deck red accents and Red backlit keys. We want to soft-touch coating; palm rest and mostly smooth black bottom (which you can attach the optional slice battery).

Such as, characterised by so it now require optical drive, the dimensions of this notebook--14.0 x 9.3 x 1.1 inches--it slightly thicker than previous Envys, but it is still easy to slide into the messenger bag to a character.Just as it is ready to make some weight around; 5. the 6 pound laptop weighs the same as that of the 15-inch MacBook Pro and even more than the original Envy 14 (5.4 pounds) and Envy 15 (5.2 pounds). We felt really ajoasennoissa Messenger and backpack, the weight of the notebook. Envy, however, 14 Beats Edition is easily one of the most important-looking notebooks on the market.

One of the biggest problems we had with the original Envy 15 was its poor heat degradation; the Notepad quad core CPU raised to 100 degrees Fahrenheit touchpad and Watches inter 103 degrees. Fortunately, Envy 14 Beats Edition is not so toasty. After playing the Hulu video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, as measured in 87 degrees the touchpad, g and h keys spacing was 91 and pulled in the middle was somewhat uncomfortable 101 degrees, 81, 82 and these areas compared to the 14 98 Envy measurements. Heat vent, reached the unpleasant 107 degrees.

Like the previous Envys Envy 14 Beats Edition includes the black Island-style keyboard.New, however, is a lighting: although it is only two option (enabled or disabled, as compared to the MacBook Pros gradient emergency lighting), it is a nice bonus. And this special edition of the Red insert only the second layer cool. Writing, we wanted the keys of the smooth surface and the lack of Flex, but we had a little bit harder than usual, sometimes to, press. We appreciated the quick keys to adjust the volume and brightness.

As before, HP integrated touchpad mouse buttons, which is a spacious 4.25 x 2.5 inch. we wish it was moved a little more to the left, but we did not have problems, we had the Envy--15, that is to say, our Palm accidentally, place the insertion point.Overall, it was easy to move to the desktop--is.

Historically, with all-Apple trackpad, which make use of the keyboard, click, those two hands, you can go to find the cursor moves to the suddenly, when they click;This was less problem Envy 14, even though it was still sometimes.Multitouch gestures worked quite well, but it's not as smooth as glass MacBook touchpad. two fingers to scroll was Spotty, and when the pinching reduces an object, we had to remember that our thumb buttons cannot be started when you were in the area.

Pavilion-such as the HP dv 5t opted for the new 14-inch widescreen, which offers a pretty good balance between the extra screen real estate and for portability. 1366 X 768 screen displays up to 82% color gamut and 350 nit max brightness. Whether we were watching the movies stored on your hard disk or streamed from a website, the colors are bright and crisp, and popped off the screen, while the lustrous and deep blacks were not system artifacts.

When with 13-inch MacBook Pro, we Envy the data rows in a fairly evenly. 14When you view the same HD trailer Iron Man 2, we found a little, the turnaround of images on Mac, but it was quite fine point.Viewing angles were excellent, even if we found a glossy finish-kicked back reflection much a brighter settings.

Unfortunately, the Envy to the owners of the 14 Beats Edition does not cause the Radiance Infinity display 1600 x 900 resolution, which was available on the original Envy 14.(This option is no longer readable also regularly Envy 14).You will have to settle for max 1366 x 768.

This is the date of entry into force of this notebook Beats Audio Edition, of course, is waiting for an excellent sound quality and Envy 14 offers two speakers, leading edge produced powerful enough for medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) status, please fill out the sound of the bass was a little weak.The sound was simply brilliant, when we are connected with the Solo Beats headphones.The combination resulted in bass, who came to a deep and warm. HP provides users with a fairly comprehensive spread tweaks EQ Beats audio control panel. users will be able to save up their presets, if included in the settings of their tastes.

We had the opportunity to hear the music business as a wide range of genres, but also, when watching TV and listening to a live performance films. Thunder Road, we can hear the whispers, even if Bruce Springsteen gigs wailed, his harmonica.

HP increase corresponds to users ' suggestions, optical drive Envy 14 Beats Edition. downloading slots over a two-layer DVD-RW is on the left side of the system comes with two USB ports, microphone and headphone port for a combo box (which acts as a Solo Beats), and the headphone jack on the right side are eSATA./USB, HDMI, mini DisplayPort, Ethernet, and a Kensington lock slot on the front. is 2-in-1 card reader.

Not only is the webcam Envy 14 high-def video can (even if it does not deal with the Skype HD), but it is also a little light features. Skype calls during the session, said that we had little to wash a face, but he could draw up a wealth of information and the colors were accurate. [1] [2] when we are closed blinds and turned out the lights, our hair was difficult to see (as was the ambient room), but he could see our faces and shirt, if it were a day, seven days a week.

Samsung R540-11

Since it came on the market in the United States of America, notebook, Samsung has established a reputation for paring an effective components and head models. Samsung RR540 continues a trend, although not necessarily the best way possible. This 15-inch laptop ($ 999 configuration) is the best even expensive machinery power to its weight class and provides a smooth playback of Blu-ray. However, when the granite of the tree structure deck and deck may certainly stares, either love it or hate it.

5.5 pounds and 14,9 x 10.1 x 1.4 inches, R540 is relatively lightweight notebook with this size of the screen.The notebook is the wood grain pattern, it displays the Formica countertop smooth, Brown plastic lid. not only this area pick up fingerprints, it is a little Cheap feel If.

Samsung tries to imitated on the inside of the wooden surfaces are more successful and Palm rest. chassis, Brown plastic still do at least have Etched grains painted, approvals, accompanied by a more subtle, rather than a matte finish. Touch-buttons are too, the appearance of the tree of this granite, although as a matter of fact, the touchpad is smooth, Brown dots pattern.

We give the Samsung feet tries to something different, but we prefer to use a lot of ASUS U33Jc appearance. The 13-inch notebook uses real bamboo and has a lot of stylish.

R540 is now a luxurious 4-star hotel keys, which are located in close proximity to each other, compared with the chiclet style layout Even-sized with follow. [1] [2] keys on the keyboard, numeric keypad and the deposit facility will remain unchanged as a whole, the lid can hold. In particular, because Samsung is laitteidensä enter and right shift keys, we had to write to the city centre is easy and fast (us, at least) 93 words per minute speed. as we entered, we felt some Flex below us the fruit; This keyboard Panel does not have the sturdiest in the block.

The touchpad is not large, 2,8 x 1.6 inches, but seemed flat and offer no resistance, next to the buttons for the twin touch. [1] [2], as well, is easy to press, even though they are in a noisy side and we found ourselves wishing they were slightly larger, so that they can better fit our finger pad.

R540 does not get up after the extended use of the other notebooks hot it category. When viewing the full-screen mode, Hulu clip for 15 minutes, we measure the temperatures of the 88 degrees is in the middle of the keyboard, touchpad 89 degrees and 83 degrees on the underside of the machine.(It, however, less than Hot 100 degrees near the vent.)Which is not bad when you consider that the average notebook This reaches temperatures, 90, 93, and at the same time, the best 97 degrees.

15.6 Inch screen resolution 1366 x 768, which is a cheap notebook size standard and it is good to see 720 p video. [1] [2] Although it is a Blu-ray player, the benefits may be lost in the lower-resolution screen.When we watched "the other Boleyn Girl", Blu-ray, the image was sharp, colors, exact and screen clear, but we had a hard time to make watching for walls or the lid of the picture in the forward end of the glossy screen out.

Twin speakers, keyboard, above the produced fairly strong sound, taking into account the fact that this is not a souped up multimedia machine. "Maria, Maria ", Santana, for example, sounded like it would be both medium and high volumes and at all times we have been able to establish a strong bass notes More guitar-based songs. [1] [2], such as the" Someday "bets, which sounded like a clear and balanced as well.

R540 is predicted to ports, three USB 2.0, HDMI, and VGA output, an Ethernet Jack, Kensington lock slot, headphone and microphone ports and AN SD card reader.(SD is the most common format, but users who have their own, that is to say, the Sony cameras and uses Memory Stick cards are out of luck.)

Is the webcam VIDEO GRAPHICS ARRAY (VGA) video was sufficient, but Skype call sounds sounded weak and perfectly clear. We may hear the ECHO, when we talked about and sounds became more difficult to establish even when we are simply nojannut in our Chair, camera Plus side off. our videos and still photos were well-lit and the YouCam includes CyberLink software offers a lot of fun to the array of filters, frames and animations, 2d avatars.

Sony VAIO EA Series

It is more than just a fashion statement. In addition to the fun and funky keyboard skins for colors, the 14-inch Sony VAIO EA compresses technology a lot for a reasonable $ 799. This thin-and-light notebook comes with a fun gesture control media software, Blu-ray drive and Intel Wireless technology for streaming video to your TV screen (even if in the to box to pay extra). How to stack the competition against the VAIO EA?
15.5-inch VAIO E-series has a lot of different colors of EA, such as the Caribbean Green, Blue and Purple Passion helmiäisvärinen, more mundane Coconut Gunmetal black and White, the black lava of available. We came to lila, and we really like the look of the swirl pattern.Dark Violet around silver coin, which fade in VAIO black around the edges of the cover lila round dotted pattern in the middle of the keyboard is a must. Normal, but our system comes with a black bright teal blue removable keyboard skin ($ 19.99 option), which protects the crumbs.

Also the same level, such as EA speaker bar is located at the top of the keyboard with the three buttons labeled assist, at the top of the Web and the VAIO. these buttons open the default browser for VAIO Care, and the media gallery. This is a power button farthest to the right of the cluster, which glows green when the machine is, and red when it is in sleep mode.

Only 5 pounds this 13.6 x 9.39 x 1.07-inch laptop computer is a portable occasional 165.000. we found that the system can accommodate comfortably in our belt and tray table during the flight. Is comparable to the size of the 5-pound Samsung Q430-11 (13.5 x 9.4 x 1.04 inches). Although the aluminium notebook Fit more, not clad, the correct Board meeting VAIO EA glossy plastic lid is more suitable for living room or a college dorm room.

Chiclet style keyboard VAIO-EA If good feedback and comfortable writing experience to the company.Actual keys output is higher than we're used to see, but it had not been distracting. function keys work like traditional function keys, which are intended to be, we had to press the fn key, before we could volume up or down, or adjust the brightness of your display.We have a primary reverse function keys, which enables you to adjust the volume and brightness with a single touch screen.

VAIO EA multi-touch touchpad was a little small for our tastes are 3 x 1.8 inches, but two separate mouse button provide excellent feedback such as pinch zoom. multitouch gestures were smooth and easy to perform.

VAIO EA series remained comfortably cool during the use of the Hulu video After playing the game. In full-screen mode for 15 minutes, the keyboard and trackpad, measured on the basis of a reasonable 90 degrees and the underside of the machine registered 92 degrees. We believe that everything is uncomfortable over 100 degrees. We have noticed some of the fan noise using a laptop computer and music in a few hours, but it was not too loud or distracting.

ASUS Eee PC VX6 Lamborghini

In a world where most of the netbooks is similar to the aesthetic of ASUS's limited edition Eee PC VX6 really stands out. Editors ' Choice award-winning EeePC 1215N basis ($ 499), this Lamborghini-the theme of buying a NetBook of 12-inch ($ 699) changes to the ends of its appearance, such as a sports car-and with the sound of the roaring engine when it starts. ASUS backs up that the attractiveness of dual-core processor, switchable Ion graphics and super speedy USB 3.0 ports that are unique to this version. But not a great chassis and some diluted extras can be justified on the basis of the expenditure of almost $ 200 more souped up buying a NetBook?

Although it is the same internal information as the Eee PC-1215N (Atom CPU D525, Ion 2 graphics), VX6 looks completely different. Lamborghini logo Emblazoned a shiny white lid reminded us (properly), expensive Italian sports car hood.The walls are emblazoned the subtle matte, chrome colour, which tapers against rubberized matte black shadow. Hinge-within the region, is one of the most attractive we have seen, buying a NetBook, chromium hinges and a mirrored power buttons above the script and Turbo-Lamborghini logo, which sits in the middle of the keyboard with a mirrored surface.

Even the air vents can be found at the bottom of the notebook that is the same as they are expensive car instead of buying a NetBook.

11.6 x, 8 x 1.1 inches and a 3.1 sterling Eee PC-VX 6 does not have the thinnest or lightest on the market for buying a NetBook, but the system is a 12-inch display, 1 is more than reasonable. In fact, is slightly lighter than the ASUS Eee PC-1215N (3.4 pounds), but it is slightly larger, a table with the hinge design differences.

A subtle Black Island-style keyboard is almost the same as we have seen other Eee PC last year or so. Offers decent Guilloche feedback, good spacing, and it was more than adequate to write. Its exercise is able to achieve us a typical 80 words per minute basis, for a period of ten thumbs Typing-Score in the test, the error rate of 2%.What is more, we noticed that this layout exhibited less Flex than the EeePC 1215N.

3 X 1.75-inch touchpad on this machine is slightly lower than the one of the Eee PC-1215PN, but more than adequate shortcuts for selecting commands and for navigating around your desktop. It deals with the multitouch gestures like pinch even zoom easily. all Eee PC: T, such as only one mouse button VX6, that you click to the left or right.Although there is some solid, it gets the work done.

In spite of the relatively strong components VX6 remained fairly cool. When streaming video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, we measured 88 89 degrees, higher education and the touchpad is 96 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom of the keyboard.We keep the temperature below 95 comfortable at the top of the system, and less than 100 comfortable at the bottom of the list.

ASUS Eee PC-VX 6 is the first buying a NetBook, we have seen that supports USB 3.0.By using either of two fast port on the right side of the system, users can connect to the SuperSpeed USB hard drives and other devices that transfer data up to 10 times as fast as USB 2.0 counterparts.

In addition to two USB 3.0 ports, on the right side of the system houses audio/which hydraulipiireissä, Ethernet port and a Kensington lock slot. the left side of the VGA, HDMI out, and the third to the USB port and memory card reader.

1.3-MP webcam If flat and sharp images in low light. when testing Skype in our dimly lit living room, even if the amount of the fine details in our faces were visible.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2010)

It is as if the 13-inch MacBook Pro won the Biggest Loser. Meet the new 13-inch MacBook Air, weighing 1.5 pounds lighter than the brother of the beefier and compress enough power is the primary computer. Starting from $ 1,299, this ultraportable Cheap does not exist, but it cost $ 200, which is lower than the last 13-inch Air, it takes more than three times longer, payment and features than its predecessor and 13-inch Pro higher resolution screen. 11-inch Air Plus, this laptop all preliminary storage in Flash-fast startup and it evokes quickly from a sleep state. Yes, the snag ultraportable a faster processor to hundreds of Windows less, but if you want your mobile Mac this device is nearly perfect.

13-inch MacBook Air is the same width as the 13-inch Pro, as well as high, but it weighs only 2.9 pounds and from the astonishingly thin vahakynttilät. 11 inch. 68 inches.The last generation of 13-inch Air measured. 76 inches the thickest stage and weigh 3 pounds, 13-inch MacBook Pro 4.5 pounds and is printed in the profile. 95 inches. only the 13-inch Sony VAIO Z (3 pound, 1.3 inches) and Toshiba Portege R700 (£ 3.2.6.1 inches,) appear in close proximity to the 13-inch MacBook Air for portability, relevance to the case of such machinery, although both contain the optical drive.

Apple reaches this weight reduction in eschewing the traditional hard disk enclosure and calculating the Flash memory chips on board, to the right of the logic in the resulting inventory design it is 90% thinner and lighter. In addition, cover the design, now employs Apple's van, which leads to the 80 less components.

All-aluminium is certainly beautiful, a folder, and RCA tote. However, the position of fliers (and others who are working in tight quarters), it may be that the 13-inch, the height of the Air and depth to make it tight fit airline-tray, especially when you can on the front of the person reclines. For example, the air has 12.8 x 8.9-inch footprint, but the VAIO Z measures 12.4.8 x 3 inches, and the Toshiba Portege R700 is 12,4 x 8.9.
Because of the fairly large footprint, is not much of a surprise that the 13-inch Air features full-size

4.3 X 3 inches in the 13-inch MacBook Air glass-touchpad is definitely a huge yet it never got our way, as I type. it was a very accurate and is offered with two fingers on the smooth scrolling. squeeze the Zoom works better than the Windows-based system for this laptop. multitouch gestures are Other Welcome four finger swipe.txt down to minimize all applications and swiping sideways move to open apps four fingers.

Toshiba Libretto W105

Android tablets, including one to talk about this Toshiba, Toshiba Libretto W105 is definitely the outlier values. It is the first high-profile Windows 7 touchscreen device starts this year and includes the Toshiba calls the experience a unique two-screen design. And like most of the tests, some aspects of this device, to succeed (combined touch apps, plenty of alternatives to the keyboard), and others who belong to the flat (the battery, overheating). $ 1,099-and limited delivery device is geared primarily for and in conjunction with an appeal against the users are looking for something, at the beginning of the exotic. So should you can snatch one up or leave W105 gadget collectors?

When closed, the all-black version of Libretto W105 displays the thicker the Sony VAIO P, another device that is not a fish and fowl. Libretto W105 8 x 4.8 x 1.2 x, and then press 1.8 pounds, only 0.4 pounds more than the VAIO P.

Libretto n W105 footprint is approximately equal to that of the iPad, but when it is opened, its audacious design has been detected. Both halves are controlled by the large 7-inch touchscreens. The upper half, the power button is located at the top of the screen;oikeallevasemmalla is a Web-camera. The bottom half is only two buttons: the left one to activate the screen keyboard and is home to the right of the button, which move the taskbar, and then open the upper panel of the screen's bottom-up, Toshiba Bulletin Board app-on the screen.

The weight of the bottom of the Libretto W105, keep your device up to gravitate towards the rear, tipping so far back to the parent to present. Turned sideways, we found the most pleasing to the eye, press and hold the device in the middle of our right hand.

Ports only one USB and one headphone connector and memory card reader.

After playing the Hulu video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, lower screen remained cool 79 degrees, but the upper half was scorching 117 degrees.Toshiba puts the warning label even the hottest region. Furthermore, the Libretto W105 fan seemed working overtime and was clearly audible, even with other noise in the room. If you are in possession of one half of the Libretto W105, at the bottom of the heat is not a problem, but if you hold down its side, such as a book, it is quite uncomfortable.

Such as, Libretto W105 has two 7-inch touchscreens, both the resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels in size and both the Haptic feedback, which is useful when writing a virtual keyboard (for more information about that). Both were very crisp and bright;and in spite of their small size, two people, sitting on each side of the screen should movies to see without any problems.

Libretto W105 has accelerometer shall be mounted in the, which automatically adjusts the display of the landscape, as well as when turned sideways to the portrait.Unfortunately, the navigation is less than the seamless; a good 10 seconds to change the screens of the period during which they go blank, which lasts. compared to, when you rotate iPad, change is instantaneous. In addition, you can rotate the Libretto W105 in only one direction, so that the side with the battery is left hand. Taking into account the smart phones can be connected to 360 degrees, we wonder about this failure.

Windows 7 has yet to be offered a touchscreen interface and its limits of favourable market conditions are once again show the Libretto W105 day. press with small icons, Try our finger was very frustrating.Fortunately, Toshiba contained several improvements to the software.A set of taskbar--only slightly larger than the standard Windows icons-icons allows you to adjust the volume, increase the size of the portions of the screen, and then drag the virtual keyboard and a touchpad, virtual.

Touchpad was useful.For example, when we have been able to move the cursor around the items to the desktop, and use the start menu by using our thumb. you can turn off the one, that is to say, 2.7 x 1.4 inches or less than 1.8 x 0.9 inch touchpad;We are the primary in the latter case, because we have so many our thumb stretch.However, the Libretto of the optical touchpad W105 significantly assist as VAIO-P or even Viliv N5 day.

The keyboard was fairly easy to use, too. [1] [2] when open, it takes up the whole of the lower screen and up to five different configurations, plus a numeric pad. the first two numbers, in the case of QWERTY keys only slightly different sizes; the other is smaller than the keys, but in the insert function is divided into the following two line., of which the latter we found the keyboards, the easiest to use as you type-our thumbs must reach the middle of the screen, to the extent that the State is not likely to intend to even write the next great American novel, is certainly a nice enough for knocking out e-mail messages and notes.

A few times, Windows 7 got way: when we tried to write to us the router password, keyboard cover window, so could not see if we had typing. Toshiba found this problem too: Home button in the upper half of the screen in such a way as to move the taskbar obscured Windows are no longer a problem. [1] [2] this is the primary Setup program that we use most often.

When the Libretto W105 is in this configuration, the lower screen is busy, the Toshiba Bulletin Board, which gave us the easy Wi-Fi, troubleshooting, and security and backup tools. [1] [2] And drive, keyboard, etc., the icons are even greater and the press.

Toshiba Satellite A665-S6058

16-inch Toshiba Satellite A665-S6058 contains lots of your money in the oomph. This notebook Core i5 CPU, Nvidia graphics, and an excellent speakers make it well worth the $ 899 for asylum entertainment.

Even if we think there is definitely some room for improvement here, A655 raw power should be considered.
The lid and lid is Toshiba A665: n X 2 matte finish-Fusion, which close up, it seems that the small chain links and does not leave fingerprints.Light grey touchpad, Island-style keyboard and touch-sensitive control Bar all add to the appearance of a distinctive character to the device, however, some might prefer. ASUS N61Jv-X 2, which is a 16-inch screen, shiny lid pinstripe pattern, silver speaker bar and rubberized palm rest.

During testing, the Toshiba Satellite A665 was slightly below average in terms of heat.When streaming Hulu video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, we measure the touchpad 84 °, 85 degrees, 89 ° underside and 98 in the middle of the keyboard in higher vent. to introduce this perspective, the average mainstream notebook touchpad 92 degrees into the underside of the cod-end and 96 89 degrees to the plane of the vent.

Apple MacBook Air (11-inch, 2010)

Is one easy way to a new 11 inch MacBook Air to sum up: it is always ready to play. Not only does this notebook weigh just 2.3 pounds and boast a razor-thin profile, its use of Flash memory means you never have to start surfing, touching up photos, wait or take advantage of FaceTime requires. Starting from $ 999 ($ 1,199 configuration), 11-inch Air Core 2 Duo-properties of the processor, Nvidia graphics, and more than 5 hours of battery life. This is a fairly substantial something hardly notice is your bag. Still, some cheaper Windows powered ultraportables combine to improve the performance of THE CPU with the long, when setting tyre-rolling noise. MacBook mini, if its values? (Read our review of the Editor's choice award-winning 13-inch Apple MacBook Air, click here.)

Apple has applied its expertise in order to achieve a design that is unconsciously portable yet super sturdy miniaturization. 11-inch Air 2.3 pounds weight is more than the entire pound lighter than the 12-inch Asus Eee PC-1215N (3.4 pounds) and easier than Acer Aspire-1830t (3 pounds) tote.Up to 10-inch netbooks Toshiba-NB 305 (2.8 pounds) as compared to feel bulky. as part of the reason, the MacBook Air is so much lighter is that Apple introduced in Flash memory chips right logic without the use of the port reception facilities for ship-a typical storage enclosure.

11-inch Air van aluminium housing, thank you for this computer takes much more durable than plastic competition. It is also very, very thin. Wedge-shaped profile measures starting from 0.11, 0.68 inches yet two USB ports (one on each side), the headphone jack on the left and right side of the mini DisplayPort to manage.The only thing missing is the SD Card slot, available on the new 13-inch MacBook Air property. This is a disappointment, in particular, in the absence of negligence on the part of the 10-inch netbooks had this slot years. Apple simply ran out of room.

The structure of Our biggest problem is that this Air cover sometimes gravitate back when we picked up the machine. This was also moving vehicles, in particular when we hit the road, or if kohoumia vehiicle moderated somewhat abruptly. The screen hinge is designed in such a way that it will not Tilt back all the way, but still we've found this movement annoying.

A good ultraportable keyboard makes you forget that you are using smaller notebook 11-inch MacBook Air passes this test with flying colors. We write this review, URLs and other notes quickly chiclet style layout at the same time, the temporary crisp feedback.Per the usual Mac layout consists of a fixed keys, volume and brightness, as well as the playback controls, and Exposé and dashboard. you will also find the power button in the upper-right corner. Arrow keys are a bit small, but we had no problems with their use. Only bummer is that the keys are not backlit; that is the price to be paid to the thin profile.

Apple suppeata its large glass touchpad, the impact of the 11-inch full on MacBook Air, according to which the pinpoint accuracy and a smooth transition to the experience. Integrates with the also very Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which allows users to perform all sorts of multitouch gestures. Squeeze the zoom worked very iPhoto and Safari, and it was the RCA minimize all open applications down to the four finger swipe.txt. Three fingers on swipe.txt gives us zip through images in iPhoto.Overall, this ultraportable offers stellar ergonomic experience.

Initially we thought somewhat thick bezel around the screen to prove distracting--until we are in the 11-inch MacBook Air running.You can not find a brighter, sharper or more colorful screen notebook in this category.Photo and video editors find the Panel's 1366 x 768-. Websites easily, eyes seemed to also good.The Air has been the subject of a wide viewing angles, you can share your slideshows and videos with a couple of people.

11-inch MacBook Air may be thin, but no sound is anything but.The two stereo loudspeakers project voice through the keyboard, from top to bottom, pumping out surprisingly loud Sound.When we cranked up to the mark, the Kooks track Pandora, we can manage a few people at the same time, the strenuous in the hotel lobby and tinny sound does not sit., so you don't necessarily need to don a headset audio editing in iMovie and GarageBand.

A new beta version of the application on the desktop, FaceTime, contributes significantly to the MacBook owners to make video calls to other Mac owners, as well as for those who have iPhone (4) and the latest iPod touch was a little pain to Setup., require us to create an account and check our e-mail address online before continuing. After this, we just gave to your friend's e-mail address, we can use to log on to and he invited us to his iPhone 4. the video window is a small, quality was better than we can expect a warm colors and pretty good detail. we found that we also diluted the video window automatically reoriented itself when other calls taken his iPhone landscape., of course, a built-in webcam also can be used on other chat apps and iMovie store clips.

Asus UL20FT-A1

Believe it or not, was the time of the 12-inch ultraportables is not just regard Yahoo! Games or supercharged netbooks. It was their own laptop computer, mostly in the category of machinery which meets the requirements of the business reputation of the carriage of goods by road. Asus UL20FT-A1 focuses on more on entertainment, features, such as speakers Altec Lansing nor not comply with the provisions of this laptop is enough speed to be the primary work-and-play PC question. You'll also find a stylish Brushed aluminium cover and comfy keyboard. But it is enough to justify the price of $ 629, when you receive a $ 130 less 12.1-inch EeePC 1215N buying a NetBook?

Handsome, but somewhat more unassuming, UL20FT press light 3.4 pounds and the properties of the folder and classy Brushed metal casing. You don't need to worry about marring the fingerprints of this notebook.EeePC-1215N is the same, but its all plastic chassis does not feel quite supportive. Asus, you can read the inside of the lid plastic sliver the subtle cube pattern, which shows an elegant with carriers more than Ridged touchpad and glossy black bezel.

On the left side of the House of the HDMI port UL20FT, universal serial bus (USB) port and headphone and microphone hydraulipiireissä-In-1 card reader and two more USB, VGA and Ethernet ports on the right side of the line. Keyboard, is a small power button on the right side of the one part, and the button to the left that doubles key as the Express Gate quick is the OS (when the system is switched on), and the way in which the various power profiles LiveTaskbar (when the notebook is enabled).



Failed to keep its cool UL20FT during testing. When the playback Hulu video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, we measure the relatively low temperatures 88 degrees Fahrenheit touchpad and 86 degrees between the g and h keys. The underside of your notebook is now up to 104 degrees to vent, but in the middle of the underside was a reasonable and sufficiently recent period of 91 degrees.

ASUS does not have a reputation for delivering excellent Ergonomics and UL20FT does not make much more this notion.The plus side of the keyboard provides a good tactile feedback for as little as possible with Flex (much less so than the Eee PC-1215N).Our only nitpick here is shrunken right shift key.

Touchpad button is, however, to deal with wind breaker for some, it is entirely too firm, and it is also a small double tap. we are authorization modules, you can make selections from the touchpad and whenever we had, we had pointed out, right-click one of the reasons why we avoid button. Ridged touchpad to provide a smooth transition and sound pinch zoom gesturing. too bad for pad measures a mere 2.5 x 1,5 inches (or relatively mammoth 3.3 x 1-inch 1215N). we wish Asus combine this notebook keyboard touchpad, souped up with its buying a NetBook.

Samsung NF310

If you are going to shell out the $ 399, buying a NetBook must be specific. Samsung NF310 makes the futuristic-chic design, two-core Atom processor and a resolution of the screen (1366 x 768), 10-inch screen for the premium price. Although this mini laptop does not offer the longest battery life, is an excellent choice.
NF310 is a traditional buying a NetBook bold departure. Closed the lid of the coal gray can be seen in the pages along the wave of the outline. When open, the curve to create a shallow, and if the keyboard is sitting in front of silver on the deck.This with bump makes 1.2-inch thick system a little bulky, but rounded corners and help provides a flow of sleekness NF310 umpinaiseen Chunkier back half of the edges and a little battery make 2 jutting. 8 pounds, you will be able to make one buying a NetBook with a comfortable single-handed.
The deck gives rise to a metallic coating of plastic impression, but the readily collect and submit the search, or dirty messy.We wish Samsung would provide more color choices below deck in the glossy plastic bezel is surrounded by a dotted pattern on the screen. The pattern is cool, but the bezel is slightly larger than we would like.

Hands-on of our time in the entire NF310 remained relatively cool, even though our belt sits. When you play a video from Hulu in full-screen mode for 15 seconds, we measure the g and h keys, in the middle of the bottom of the touchpad and end temperature between. Keyboard achieved only 82 degrees, while the touchpad and the bottom margin measured 81--very portable for our preferred comfort within the region.
With NF310 Samsung went to the island-style keyboard. We found only one layout, easy to use as the N series models and had the opportunity to reach our normal typing speed immediately. most of the keys must be sufficiently large and tilannetyyppi. We wish only a space were slightly higher, because we hit inadvertently left ALT key instead.

2.9 x 1.5-inch touchpad is a comfortable size, and we want that it is bordered by strips of metal, so the finger of us knew, when it had strayed by touching the surface. Not to hinder us to the power absorbed by friction and the appearance of the keyboard spun metal is a nice touch.


You do not usually find a 1366 x 768 pixel screen, buying a NetBook, which makes it feels more regularly on a laptop computer when surfing the Samsung NF310, documents, and other tasks. Just it seems less claustrophobic.10.1-inch matte screen is wide viewing angles, plus rich, deep colors.There is a lack of means of gloss and some limited sunlight reflections visibility.

Sit down with two speakers Above the keyboard sound delivered, in particular for the purpose of buying a NetBook.Thanks to THE SRS Premium Sound drivers, we have been able to consult the separate bass line Superchick: n "One Girl revolution" and rock out of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" only 50 percent of the drive. Also, when watching the Simpsons: Treehouse Horror we do not need to hear clearly out of the maximum volume of the low-level background noise in the room.

With the exception of the three USB ports from NF310 features including VGA, Ethernet, headphone and microphone connections. Unfortunately, 4 1 memory card slot and the deposit facility will remain unchanged in the spring does not lock, which means THE SD cards hang off the side of buying a NetBook. is one of the small disappointment: Unlike the last N Series netbooks, this model will not be taxed to the USB port, so users can retain their number (s) to your phone or other device that is used when the bus is in the sleep mode power NF310.



NF310 0.3 megapixel camera is not wow its quality, but it makes the movement capture seems too fuzzy to users without the need for decent work in the automatic backlight compensation. even works well that a little movement had entailed. When chatting on Skype with a friend, he stated that our skin tone and color were washed out.

ASUS G73Jw-A1

Last spring, ASUS G73Jh wowed us with its gaming notebook, and now the company is back at the same time, a great design that pairs a faster processor, more powerful Nvidia graphics chip GTX 460 and a good measure of USB 3.0 port to update the version. But are sufficiently better information allows the system to leg of the competition?

G73JW-A1 is the same as G73Jh-A2.8.8 Pounds and 16.6 x 12.8 x 2.3 inches, ASUS G73JW-A1 never ruokana ultraportable, but compared to other systems we've tested--such as 10.6 pounds, 18-inch Toshiba Qosmio X 505--lists rather than svelte. no problem and its 2-pound power brick around the oversize messenger-style bag was, even though we had to stand for a long time on the bus.

Modeled after the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, G73JW-A1 is not colorful with Alienware M17x notebooks such as, but its elegant design, the angle of the gunmetal gray exterior bling and make it more difficult for one of the most attractive we have seen. Two directives on the back of the combine subtle silver ASUS logo, and the coat of arms of the Republic of Gaming product seems to do this, you can use more than one flies a game as you can play levels in your notebook.Open the lid and the subtle theme continues inside the. only a few small buttons at the top of the keyboard to sit in the simple black and gray touchpad simply blends into the deck. The status is not colorful lights or bright red buttons here.

What makes really stand out G73JW-a1 is both deck and deck rubberized material. Multiple notebooks should be given to the use of such material, because it is incredibly nice to touch, to oppose the finger prints, remains cool and a sense of durability and offers significant loss of quality.

Unfortunately, G73JW A1 is a big disappointment for backlit keyboard, a small text file that can be characterized by keys, which are difficult to typists and players, which are similar. Ten Thumbs Typing test, we got one of our worst makes ever--69 words per minute and 3% of the amount of our greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 80 error wpm and 1% in comparison with. and it was the third time we tried it; We have done so two for the first time a lot of errors, which we have just had to be restarted.

One reason, the keyboard is so difficult to deal with the type is a hard keys really poor tactile feedback and require the really hard and tarkoituksellisesta strokes. the second question is that, in their flat, square shape is not curves that make it easier for you to feel the way the lines around the narrow space between the type of their displays smaller than other devices.

Mystery of why ASUS decided to all available space does not use the keyboard to continue.The chassis is 16 inches wide, but is 1.5 inches on each side of an empty plastic keyboard, the arrow keys and Space. [1] [2] the numeric keypad on your keyboard-the essential-the two-game-are actually smaller than the other keys, making it difficult to use them in the controls.To make matters worse, sharp solid and deep in the palm rest (more wasted space) can make it difficult to keep your hand from slipping backwards as you type.

4.4 x 2.2-inch touchpad is size-Wise, all of it goes: a large flat but not too smooth surface, multitouch gesture of support and two separate buttons, which offer only the correct amount of feedback, however, the insertion point to the Guilloche. first review unit we received, to get "stuck" and then switch it around the screen; We unexpectedly did not experience this problem in the second review of the transport unit. taking into account the fact that many of the players use mice, a touchpad on/off button is a glaring omission is the lack of.

Notebook Core 17 the CPU and the power of Nvidia video driver should be made in accordance with the Cabinet G73JW-A1 remains extremely cool. When streaming video in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, we measured the keyboard cool 87 degrees, Temperate 90 degrees to the plane of the bottom and the touchpad chilly 78-degree angle. [1] [2] unlike other gaming notebooks is hot on top of the Palm and decks, we Note a single hot spot G73JW-A1, even when we had to play, and it is quite an impressive feat. We shall be at a temperature of less than 95 degrees for a nice and less than 90 degrees is, in principle, imperceptible.

Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T (68U118)

This is very mobile, Among Acer's new 11.6-inch Aspire TimelineX 1830T-68U118 has a lot of punch size. Although a little small when compared to its pricey side of buying a NetBook cousins from the $ 899 1830T becomes a very equipped than 11 inch MacBook Air (1-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and gobs much faster processor with a $ 100 less, more storage space. It also takes longer, payment, which offer more than 6 hours of runtime. The best, you get this goodness trim and attractive business casual template that displays one of the home you want, or a student of the library. Is still worth the premium in respect of the applicant, svelte, other 11-inch Windows ultraportables?

This newly updated 1830T at featherweight 3 pound, (the same as its predecessor), weighing is also a little more than an inch thick. It is a beefier than the 11-inch MacBook Air (11 decimal inches), but it is a breeze with a packing slip this computer into a bag and tote around town.1830T share other design with its predecessor accoutrements. you can read the corresponding fingerprints along with a black cover, texturized surface for better grip by damp hands between tight meetings and lectures.

Flip open to reveal its 1830T glossy black bezel, which is unfortunately prone output, and sets its matte black keyboard Brushed gun-metal gray aluminum. Although it is a six-cell battery, the power behind the laptop not jäljellejäävä and does not prove to be a hindrance or snag the homeless cords.

1830T was one of the relatively cool customer our heat tests. When the playback Hulu video for 15 minutes, we measure the application of articles 85 and 87 degrees Aspire's touchpad and g and h keys between accordingly. That said, we will be posted at 95 ° c in the middle of the undercarriage. Still, that was not quite to launch our heat alarms, because we believe that any of the over 100 degrees is toasty.

Almost identical to the previous 1830T, this update Adds a rough surface, deliberately sport texture was created for the same flat square-style keys. However, this does not constitute a key for the somewhat low travel and mushy feel as you type. Also, even if close to the full-size keyboard layout, and is the length of a laptop with a view to the achievement of this small considers a little niceand clean room. Continue to the left and right shift keys are large enough, and you can use a larger documents, where necessary, 1830T pounds off.

The touchpad is a petite side is 2.5 x 1.3 inches. A small problem with the feed area Kumiseosten, keyboard appears almost invisible to watch the rest of the Brushed metal styling as well as through v. Also, do not move your finger very a textured surface. This led to multiple swipes and us part of uncertainty when it comes to scrolling errors. So the touchpad supports multi-gesture pinch and zoom motions for resolutions, which is particularly handy when Web browsing.


Open the 1830T 11.6 inch wide-screen, greets you and bright, 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, adequate pump out 720 p HD video. Me starts, Gattaca Hulu and welcomed the saturated blue and deep blacks and covered by this title on the left side of the screen.Indians and oranges, even if it appeared to be a little conditions.Viewing angles were pretty good, still provides the visibility is also 60 degrees off-axis with the screen. This is probably the glossy screen contrast filter used.Keep in mind that this treatment creates a reflections, also easily, so you must avoid bright light sources over your shoulder.

Small speakers with 1830T below a couple of the sound quality is not much to write home page.If you want to listen to music or view video, audio, a portable computer is still useful in this respect, it should not be much. only or base by way of derogation from the drive.Using headphones is a much better experience, since the special sound effects accompanied by 1830T Dolby and SRS.

1830T you find on the left side of the VGA port, power connector and USB port. as we again, the previous model of HDMI v1.2 3 port does this with you can also be able to print HD video you are on the right side of the HDTV. earphone and microphone hydraulipiireissä, two other USB port, plus a Kensington lock slot, and Ethernet. Activate WiFi and Bluetooth keyboard shortcut is offered (physical switches are available).


Aspire 1.3-megapixel camera is the normal price. colors, seemed a little washed out, but the performance was adequate. screen the bundled Acer Crystal Eye-the software allows you to Shoot a video resolution, you will need to quickly change the snap pictures and the various video processing, gamma, and contrast of the vectors tint.

HP Pavilion dm3t (2010)

If you placed them side-by-side, right you will notice that the 2009 and 2010, the HP pavilion dm3t shared the same name. This is due to the completely revised its consumer HP 13-inch notebook, so it's thinner, lighter and faster. The company is also added to the technology, which is designed to keep things cool, including unique soft-touch the lid and bottom. One thing is for sure: sexiness this machine belies $ 624 price (as defined). Low-power CPU Core i3-provides enough power for most everyday tasks and wish the battery lasted longer than that, even if it should see you through almost the whole days. How does the new dm3t stack competition?

Editor's note: Although our definition contained a 1-gigahertz (GHz) or Intel Core i3-330UM-processor, which is now offered in dm3 1.33 GHz Core i3-380UM Processor at the same price.Users expect should be slightly better performance. we retest the notebook and updates after that examination, we updated the template.

Displays-2010 of wise men on the HP pavilion-dm 3t is a huge departure of the last year, the notebook, which has the same name, but to us it is a good thing. Brushed aluminium cover, instead of the new dm3t lid and Bottom coated soft-touch plastic, which was nice to keep, but is not curved like the older dm3.Inside of the lid is made on the basis of the Brushed aluminium and is responsible for the island-style Keyboard, the keyboard. There is a battery and power; in this area is dotted pattern, adding a subtle Visual punch.
The chassis is slightly wedge shape, which makes the 1. dm3t 3 inches in front of the closed behind 0.9.Being equally thin as before, the 4-pound dm3t weighs 3.2 ounces lighter than its predecessor. [1] [2] this weight limit set for us, ultraportable and dm3t thin-and-light laptop. We've noticed carrying weight even if your notebook around the Messenger bag, but not so much was uncomfortable. Overall, the design takes the solid and thoroughly modern, which is not a small feat ALA to the price tag of $ 650.

In particular, the attention paid to the HP in the design of the heat, warm temperatures with dm3t what it requires CoolSense technology Christopher.In fact, HP claims that this is one of the company's coolest notebook. What does it mean CoolSense? the maximum limit beyond reasonable doubt of fire, was designed for; now the air is sucked in grille, which extends through the entire system and to the left of the front, which was higher than that which would normally be the subject of an expulsion order.This is the purpose of which is a wider range of more than dissolved air. HP also move off the hottest parts of the wrist-rest.

By using the built-in accelerometer, HP Thermal Assistant detects If a table is used, or your own dm3 belt--notebook gets jostled around to add this--and can automatically move the maximum performance, or maximum cooling mode.However, we noticed that small difference in two modes;the fan blows constantly looked like, regardless if the notebook was set, and it took a little, in order to mitigate the effects of heat.
After Hulu Video playback in full-screen mode for 15 minutes, the touchpad and the spacing between the g and h keys were nice to 77 and 83 degrees Fahrenheit, accordingly. last year, while at the same time actually ran the warm dm3t two spots, 85 and 87 degrees, measurement, and average calculates the average of the ultraportable for these two location 93 and 95 degrees.

When the same 15-minute Hulu clip art, dm3t down is measured 96 degrees--6 degrees less than last year, the average dm3. Ultraportable notches 99.5 degrees at this location at the bottom of nevertheless reached Dm3t. 101 degrees 30 minutes, and after hours, 103 degrees when the notebook in other regions remained approximately the same.

Overall, are you sure you want to help, in particular the CoolSense and at the top of the notebook, but you may notice that your belt warm up after a while.

Asus U35JC-A1

Well over a year ago, we found a hidden gem in the Asus UL30A, a very thin 13-inch laptop that had a great combination of performance, battery life, and price. A virtual successor to that UL30A can be found in the Asus U35Jc-A1, a Core i3 laptop with entry-level Nvidia GeForce 310M dedicated graphics and Nvidia Optimus automatically switching graphics. 


The good: Great size, thin chassis, fast performance; Nvidia Optimus graphics; good battery life. 

The bad: Lacks an optical drive; graphics performance is OK but not great; poor viewing angles.

The bottom line: The Asus U35Jc-A1 is a thin, but solid, 13-inch laptop with no processor compromises and Nvidia Optimus graphics, covering all the basics--except an optical drive.
 
Unlike Optimus laptops, such as the underwhelming Asus UL80JT, the U35Jc-A1 is a winner both in terms of battery life and performance. A standard-voltage Core i3 processor offers few compromises, and the battery life is very good despite having dedicated graphics. Though it's not exactly cheap at $849, and it lacks an optical drive, this is a very, very nice little laptop, and a good MacBook alternative.
Nvidia GeForce GT 310M + Intel GMA HDWindows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)System weight / Weight with AC adapter

Much like the UL30A, the U35Jc-A1 is slim, angular, and decked in lots of brushed metal; in many ways, it comes across as a throwback design, like a DeLorean in laptop form. The very thin upper lid is backed in brushed aluminum, the small centered Asus logo looking more EPCOT-era than ever. Inside, a light gray-silver, patterned, glossy plastic surrounds the keyboard deck, while glossy, black plastic surrounds the inset screen.

Asus' keyboards are almost universally of the raised Chiclet-style kind, but they're not all made equally. Some Asus laptops have exhibited serious keyboard flex; but that isn't the case with the U35Jc-A1. The very solid-feeling keys were great to type on, and aside from our gripe with the awkwardly placed arrow keys and a right-hand side of page up/down buttons that needlessly squish the Enter and Shift keys, it makes for an excellent experience. There's just enough palm-rest space beneath for good lap typing. Overall, it's nearly as good a keyboard as the MacBook Pro's

Gyration Air Mouse Elite Review

The Gyration Air Mouse Elite is a wireless USB mouse with optical and gyroscopic tracking abilities. Aimed at professionals who need to use their hands giving presentations, the Air Mouse Elite works as a mouse regardless of being on a desk or not. Read our review to see what we think about it.

Gyration Air Mouse Elite Specifications:
In-air cursor control using patented SmartMotionTM technology and optical sensorInnovative trigger activated in-air cursor controlErgonomic ambidextrous designWireless connectivity with 2.4GHz RF USB receiver100 feet (30m) mouse range with no line-of-sight restrictionsHyper-sensitive scrolling with assignable
3 button controlMSRP: $79.99

Build and Design
The Gyration Air Mouse Elite has a rather unique shape compared to other wireless USB mice. It is a cross between an arch-style mouse and a pistol-grip controller, to allow you to seamless go between sliding it around on your desk and lifting it up in the air with one hand. The mouse itself is glossy black with chrome trim. The bottom is flat black with adequately sized Teflon pads for easy sliding. The mouse is built fairly well and doesn't creak or feel flimsy while holding it. All of the buttons are easily reachable with your thumb (besides the scroll wheel when holding it like a pistol) and don't take much pressure to activate the switches beneath the plastic covers.

The charging method Gyration uses is pretty coo, keeping the mouse in an elevated position so it can be quickly picked up and already be in the orientation needed to control a computer with your hand. It has a recessed connection on the mouse itself, and a stepped prong connector on the charging dock that keeps the mouse attached with lowered into position. The charging dock is powered by a single USB cable, although the side that connects to the dock is a standard bullet-connector that could be replaced by an AC-adapter.

The USB wireless dongle is little over an inch long, with the height and width just barely larger than the USB connector itself. The adapter has an LED light indicating connection status and a button to pair the mouse with the computer it is plugged into. It was small enough to not block any adjacent ports and we were pretty happy to see it as an external device instead of integrated into the charging dock. This lets you take only the mouse and wireless dongle with you to presentations instead of a huge bulky mess of wires.

In Use
The Gyration Air Mouse Elite was fairly easy to pickup and use off the bat. As a regular mouse it worked as you might expect, with fast and fluid movement devoid of any lag. The optical sensor worked well on multiple surfaces without skipping a beat. In the air it took a bit of practice to make the correct swooping movements and actually target the objects on the screen that you wanted to hit. If you were sitting down working through a notebook screen and external monitor, it was slightly more awkward than normal. Once you figured out the correct movements though, using the Gyration mouse in the air was very natural.

The included software also let you customize hand gestures into launch commands for various programs. We had a bit of trouble getting it to work on two Dell notebooks, but we chalk that up to conflicting mouse drivers.

Conclusion
The Gyration Air Mouse Elite is a cool gyroscopic mouse for people who need a mouse to use during presentations or to control your computer with one hand. The motion is very fluid, taking only a few minutes to get use to. If you have used a Nintendo Wii, you will easily master the Gyration Air Mouse. Besides a few driver related quirks, we had no trouble using the Air Mouse on any system we plugged it into. If you don't need to use the programmable keys on the front, you could easily get by with never installing the software. Overall if you need a gyroscopically controlled pointer, the Gyration Air Mouse Elite is a option to definitely check out.
