Samsung SF410 notebook

The Samsung SF410 notebook series delivers one-of-a-kind style and performance for those always on-the-go. And not only does its unique, slim and fluidic design set it apart, but its unrivalled performance – the state-of-the-art Intel® Core™ i5 Processor *, combined with a longer lasting battery, gives you the freedom to get out with the power to perform without the worry of where to recharge.

So, if you want more than just an eye catching design, other features include the 14.0" high resolution, wide-screen, LED backlit display that will certainly satisfy your needs, delivering a visually stunning video-watching experience. Also, with its Fast Start feature, faster connectivity options, and lightweight casing, you’ll quickly appreciate the perfect combination of portability and performance.
 So stay fashionable and trendy, without compromising on performance, with your SF series notebook.

Start up Speed:


With your notebook in an advanced sleep mode, important data and system configurations are saved to the hard drive and into PC memory for quick access; when you lift the lid of your notebook, the innovative Fast Start feature brings your computer out of advanced sleep mode and into full-working mode in just 3 seconds. Fast Start function provides extra security and safety so that even if power is suddenly lost or battery is changed, there’s no data or information loss.

Samsung Recovery Solution:

In situations requiring important system information to be restored, the Samsung Recovery Solution automatically creates system restore points on your HDD, and allows your computer to reinstall important system information to these restore points, while improving the overall stability of your notebook.

EASY-TO-USE: The notebook's chiclet-style keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience while the trackpad supports multitouch gestures. 

 

Multimedia ­performance: 


The SF410's 14in display has a ­resolution of 1,366 x 768-pixels. It has good levels of contrast and brightness for watching movies and playing games.
We were able to play HD movies such as 300 in 720p but the ­notebook faltered when we tried 1080p videos. When we tried Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in 1080p, the playback was choppy at best.
Another disappointment is the screen's viewing angles which is poor for both horizontal and ­vertical.
This will pose a problem if you use the machine to edit images with a photo editor.
In terms of audio quality, the SF410's speakers are very loud and sounded good even when the volume was pushed all the way up.
The SRS 3D virtual sound also works and the experience was immersive when we tried playing songs, games and movies.
However, the speakers lacked the deep bass of a dedicated desktop speaker. This was especially pronounced when we played Gorillaz's bass-heavy Feel Good Inc and a few of other electric-guitar-heavy tracks from the Darkness.
 

GOOD LOOKING: The exterior view of the SF410.

 

Conclusion: 


The Samsung SF410 will serve well as a travel notebook because it is reasonably portable and ­lightweight, and also has a long lasting battery.
It can double up as a multimedia machine for watching HD movies as long as you can settle for 720p ­quality.
It is also not too shabby in the gaming department, and is able to handle most older games. However, it struggles to handle new and graphics intensive games.
It comes with a slightly hefty price tag of RM3,199. That makes it pricier than most medium-range notebooks but you'll get what you are paying for as this notebook is packed with lots of features.

Pros:

Not too big or heavy; long battery life; can handle games and 720p HD movies; handy Fast Start function.

Cons:

Screen has poor viewing angles; ­speakers lack bass; can't play 1080p HD ­videos.

Pretty & powerful Lenovo Ideapad U460

From the Techcentral, found out an article written by Wendy Tan
Title is about Pretty and Powerful


This artivcle is talking about the Lenovo Idea pad U460
Design for this U460 was pretty also the sound hardware is so powerful .
This make the Lenovo Ideapad U460 great for everyday use.
It has a beautiful lid on it with an embossed criss-cross design. 
The rest of the laptop has a brushed metal look.
On the other hand, weight of this product is just below 2kg.
Meanwhile, it is so slim you expect it to be fragile but it feels sturdy enough.
Overall look of this product is very professional and masculine.
Starts up for the Ideapad U460 pretty fast, but nags you to set up the fingerprint and/or face detection technology which may or may not interest you.
On the other hand, it is good to have it if you paranoid or require it for security reasons.

This product comes with only 2GB RAM, that is more than enough for Window 7 unlike its memore hog predecessor Vista.


The LCD on the U460 is not crystal clear or bright as other displays and looked rather disappointing when compared to others notebooks.
Also, the U460 comes with a utility that detect ambient light and adjusts the display's brightness accordingly.


The keyboard is also little quirky . It is the standard Qwerty keyboard except it has some awkwardly placed keys that are too close to the Delete key.
For instance, when working on a document, we almost always ended up hitting the Home key by accident when we're trying to delete some letters.


Pros: Looks pretty; has fast processor and graphic chip;affordable.
Cons: Display could be better; awkwardly placed keys.

Below link is the quick specs about the product  that I would like to show in a table form:

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220s & E420s laptop tour

Advertisement  about LENOVO ThinkPad Edge E220s and E420s from Youtube.

LENOVO has launched two business-class laptops, the ThinkPad Edge E220s and E420s.

The E220 has a 12.5in screen and the E420 has a 14in display, and both have a chic and eye-catching design. The more portable of the two, the E220s measures less than an inch thick and weighs less than 1.58kg. The slightly larger E420 is one inch thick and weighs 1.81kg. Internally, the E220 and E420 can be configured to run on a second-generation Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor, and include a hard disk with up to 320GB of storage space. For system memory, the notebooks can be configured with up to 4GB RAM for the E220 and 8GB RAM for the E420.
To maintain a slimmer profile, Lenovo left out the optical drive for the E220. The E420, on the other hand, has a slot-loading DVD burner. Both the laptops also have a spill-resistant keyboard. When it comes to entertainment, both laptops offer enhanced sound with Dolby Home Theatre audio. Other standard features for both laptops include a high-definition webcam, HDMI port and card reader. The local pricing and availability for the notebooks have yet to be announced.
