Many laptop computers can claim that they feature all you had in your desktop PC, but how many of them do really do? If you want to change your desktop in favor of a laptop, but still to keep the large display, among other things, than you should choose from the largest laptop computers that exist on the market. Being built especially to serve the digital home lifestyle, these laptops don’t occupy that much space as your former desktop, but they incorporate all its features. Below is a list with 3 of the largest laptop computers from which you can choose the one that suits your needs and desires best.

First, and the largest, is the MSI Wind Top AE2220. Besides its amazing 21.5″ 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen display, the notebook also comes with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive, on which you can store all your documents and movies, games, music and photos. Also a nice touch comes from the multi-touch panel that will give a more natural and responsive interface. Providing crisp high-definition video, the LCD screen with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 will let you spend your movie nights in the comfort of your own home, but at the highest quality. You can purchase this laptop for $899, which is rather a fair price if you come to think about all the features it embeds.

Dell’s XPS M2010 comes with a 20.1-inch widescreen display that will assure you great visibility. Along with its Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 that runs on 1GB of RAM and with the 120GB hard drive, on which you can stock anything you like, the laptop is a great choice, if you want to replace your old, too-used-to-function desktop computer. The ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 graphics card and the native resolution of 1680×1050 will enable you to watch your favourite movies at a very high quality. Moreover, this stupendous laptop comes also with a 1.3MP built-in web camera, array microphones, 8 integrated speakers and subwoofer (how great is that?), detachable Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, a remote control to use when you’re in bed and don’t really want to move and portfolio design with integrated carry handle. This system goes up to a price of $2.500, but it’s worth every cent, as you get all you want from a desktop computer into a nice laptop.

Also a large computer is the LG Express S900 that comes with a 19-inch widescreen display. It is not much, if we compare them with the ones mentioned above, but in contrast with the regular 15-16-inch display notebooks, it is quite large. Along with the Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor that runs on 2 GHz and is powered by some 2GB of RAM, the laptop comes also with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card that has 256 MB VRAM, but also a 320GB hard drive, which you can use for storing all you want. For such a system you’ll have to pay a price that ranges between $1.300 to $1.750, which is not even that expensive.

We all know how careless students are when it comes to their laptops. They put in their backpacks along with books, CDs, pens and other stuff that might hurt their laptops. This is why, below is a list of 3 of the best laptop computers for college students.

On the first place is Dell’s Studio 15 laptop, that besides of the fact that its design can be adjusted to a student’s preferences with some 5 colors and more than 200 unique designs, it also embeds a 15.4-inch LED backlit display with a native resolution of 1,440×900. On the performance department, the laptop includes a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 CPU that is powered by a 2GB RAM. Moreover, the 250GB hard drive is more than enough for a student to store his/her school papers, games, movies and music. The 6-Cell battery provides some 3-4 hours at minimum usage that is surfing the internet or writing papers while listening to music, which is reasonable for a laptop computer designed for students. The light weight is not only because of the improved features, but also because the Studio 15 has plastic accents that will provide some pressure elasticity if you drop it off your desk or something. The cost of this laptop is around $549, which is not even that much if you consider the features provided.

Second on the list of the best laptop computers for college students is the HP Pavilion dv2 that features the AMD Athlon Neo processor that has the power to handle Blu-Ray movies as well as to take you to all your games levels, without facing any problems. Its smooth with rounded edges compact design makes it easy for you to carry it around. Thanks to its magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis that is quite rigid, the laptop will survive any abuse it may be faced with when hanging in a student’s backpack. When writing a paper, a student will need silence around him and this will be provided by the keyboard that makes little noise and it is also very well constructed, with no place of bouncing. Also, the movies will look great on the 12.1″ WXGA glossy widescreen display that features LED backlighting and whose colors are vibrant and bright. The three USB ports and the media card reader are also found on this little but powerful laptop. Is true that the price is a bit higher than the above laptop, but at $750 the laptop really delivers.



Last, but not least is the Apple MacBook Air that features a 1.60GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor powered by 2GB of RAM and a SATA 80GB HDD on which a student can store his/her documents, photos and movies. The MacBook Air is also very thin, so you will meet no problem when carrying it around, but also has a great battery life. The a USB 2.0 port, the headphone jack and a micro-DVI port that supports DVI, VGA, composite and S-video output can also be found on this great laptop and it also has the MagSafe power connection that was especially rebuilt to fit the slim MacBook Air. It is more expensive than other laptops for students, but it’s worth every cent.

Throughout time, people have made serious lists, ranking computers either by price, or by performance, or by whatever else criteria. Below it is a list of the top ten laptops that fits nowadays’ needs.

On the last place is the Dell Inspiron 14z, which is a laptop for students, that has a stylish look and a great battery life, but that has an overly-polished screen (because we all know that students throw in with their laptop all kind of other stuff that may damage it) through which it is a bit hard to see. Its price is around $799.

On the 9th place is the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 that delivers good battery life, has a discrete processor, but is drawn back by its poor design features. The price varies from $783,15 to $943,55.

Next, on the 8th place, comes the Toshiba Satellite U505-S2940 that is a solid choice for general computing and entertainment, but only for that. If you need a light travel mate, you should choose another laptop.

The 7th place is taken by another Toshiba laptop – the Toshiba Satellite U505, a solid, attractive performer, whose only problem is the multitouch screen. Its price varies from $970 to $992.

On the 6th place we have Dell’s Studio XPS 16, whose sharp designs and smart features don’t come with a hefty price tag – it costs around $949.

In the middle of the list we have Lenovo’s ThinkPad T400s that features a Core 2 Duo SP9600 processor that runs with 2530MHz of speed. With its 128GB hard drive, this makes a lean, mean business machine.

The 4th is taken by Apple’s15-inch MacBook Pro/2.8GHz, that is powered by a Core 2 Duo T9600 at 2530MHz and along with its 500Gb hard drive there is also the FireWire port and the lithium-polymer battery previously available only in the 17-inch MacBook Pro. It is true that its features are great, but they are also pricy – the costs go up from $2,149,95 to $2,294.

The bronze medal goes to Lenovo’s ThinkPad SL510, which is an excellent choice for business user or students who do not goof around much. With its Core 2 Duo T9600 processor and its 500GB hard drive, it is worth every cent. Its price range is between  $898.99 – $929.00.

Like it was expected, the first two places are saved for HP laptop computers. The silver medal is won by HP Envy 13, that looks like a MackBook and feels like a MackBook but is NOT a MacBook – it is PC’s answer for slim, stylish computing. Only more expensive – it costs around $1,499.99.

First on the list of the top ten laptop computers is HP’s EliteBook 8440w, that even if it won’t win awards for ultrathin design elements or elegant looks, underneath the almost military-style exterior is a dual-core Intel CPU combined with an nVidia Quadro FX 380M professional-grade graphics processor. With a price of $1,649, the 8440w isn’t the least expensive all-purpose laptop, but it delivers robust performance in a 5.3 pound package and it builds in capabilities beyond the average 14-inch notebook.

Intel Corporation has launched the revolutionary Intel Core i7 Processor and Mobile Intel Core i7 Mobile Processor Extreme Edition, introducing in this way the Nehalem architecture, awarded at the same time as a super-fast for the laptop segment. The new processors with Intel PM55 Express chipset, provides a better mobile experience possible for games, digital media, photos, music, business applications and programs that require high processing power.

Also, when these applications are used simultaneously, it offers superior performance. The new Intel Core i7 mobile processors include support for dual channel DDR3 memory with a frequency of 1333MHz and 1 x16 or 2 x8 PCI Express * 2.0. Whether users processing a video, compose music, play or edit personal account status on Facebook, Intel Mobile Core i7 is adjusted to provide processing power suitable for the task, accomplishing all the applications successfully.

Laptops with Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition mobile processor Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (Intel XMP) and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, the best tuning tool that allows overclocking-ingul3 laptop to get the best performance and the optimization of the battery. Additionally, Intel PM55 Express Chipset enables workstations and laptops for games to support features such as Intel Matrix Storage Technology, Intel High-Definition Audio, and increased interface I/O. Intel will review its line of chips for laptops with the new processor with ultra low voltage (Ultra-Low-Voltage – ULV), which should help ultra portable laptops to operate faster without sacrificing battery life.

Intel provides ULV processors for easy and functional notebooks like Apple MacBook Air and Lenovo ThinkPad X300. These chips fit into tight spaces and use less energy than conventional processors. Laptops equipped with the new chips will increase the speed of the applications, consuming less energy. Processors will run at speeds up to 1.6 GHz, compared to the old generation which reached only up to 1.4 GHz. Depending on the applications, current ultra portables with ULV chips can run between four and seven hours.

The new chips include the dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo SU9600 which will run at 1.60 GHz, includes 3MB of cache and consume about 10 watts, according to Intel documents seen by IDG News Service. Processor consists in lots of 1000 units will cost around $ 289. The chip single-core Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 is running at 1.40 GHz, with 3MB of cache and will be available at the price of $ 262 for 1,000 units.

Acer launches the first notebooks with incorporated Intel Core i technology, Acer Aspire 5740G series, characterized by superior performance and innovative features for a high-definition entertainment. Acer Aspire 5740G Series contains fast laptop computers and it provides advantage for the Ultra – Fast Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 Mobile CPU’s processors with the Mobile Intel Express Chipset HM55 that is able to deliver maximum processing power, regardless of user request or how it decides to use: gaming, multitasking projects (viewing, editing, creating files) or multimedia entertainment.

Dell Studio XPS 16 is one of the fast laptop computers.

Compared with the previous generation of CoreTM 2 Duo processors, the performance  of the Intel CoreTM i7 Quad-Core series increased to 137%.

Asus W90 – a monster of 18.4 inches, literally and figuratively. From the W90 series, Asus has launched three models that differ only by the graphics card built. Although the Taiwanese manufacturer put the W90 series in to the multimedia segment, any of the three models provide very good performance in games. W90Vn comes with Nvidia GeForce 9800M GS, equipped with 1 GB of GDDR3 memory. For gaming enthusiasts, just the name plate says it all. For those who do not know too well the graphics cards from Nvidia series , they should know that that we are dealing with a top model of the previous generation.

Asus W90 fits perfectly into the definition of a “desktop replacement“, even falling slightly into the gaming desktop replacement category. In its dimensions and with more than 6 inches thick, the laptop is an imposing presence on a desk and it will not leave it except to go to another desk. I don’t think that there are people that are willing to take a monster standing over 5 kg on their laps . In such a laptop will not fit any kind of power. The W90 comes with a power battery weighing about 1 kg and it is 4-5 times bigger than a normal one. The screen of 18.4 inches is the largest on the market for today portable and has the same 16:9 aspect that is adopted on the same market. However it comes with an important warning for those who are not good seeing. In order to obtain resolution Full HD pixels are very small. Another problem is the filter screen outdoor glare. Although we have worked with other displays of this kind, this one was among the most disturbing. Any source of light is reflected back into the monitor and for those who are easily distracted, hand movement is reflected in the lower side of the monitor.

The keyboard is identical to that of the Asus F50 and F70 and comes with related problems. Although the alphanumeric keys are large and quite comfortable, directional keys must be viewed before the presses because they are not separated from those around them and are smaller. With the generous touchpad I don’t think that you are going to have any problems. The keyboard is board in the left and the top side with several touch-sensitive buttons. Top stands for a desired backlight slider and in the left are the media buttons. Under it there is another slider touch with which to adjust the system volume. This slider can give you some headaches during use as it is quite easily reached with your left hand. Often you can find yourself with the sound off because you can accidentally put your hand on the bottom slider. Another issue is the multimedia buttons. They are active only for Media Center offered by Asus.

The laptop has an integrated sound system 5.1 speakers, the front ones being placed on the screen, and the subwoofer is on the lower side. The audio quality is good for an integrated system even in case of a laptop, but the discerning will want to use separate speakers. Another endowment at the audio chapter that is worth mentioning is the support for the second generation Dolby Home Theater technology, the audio output type is also S/PDIF type.

Asus UL30 is a glossy tempting of 13.3 inches and is part of the asus laptop computers. With the popularization of the CULV processors from Intel, ultra-laptop market has been invaded by the models thin-and-light, like this Asus UL30. Acer TravelMate 3810T Timeline is leaving everybody a good impression. To clarify at least what is with the category of thin and light notebooks, you should know that we are talking about devices that are in principle weighing less than 1.5 kilograms and a thickness not exceeding one inch. Those from Asus really think that the glossy laptop will attract the buyers eyes and that the plastic in which you can admire yourself has an important role in the purchase decision. The buyers should be peeking at Acer and take some lessons from the Timeline series. UL30 has a glossy case only at the inside, but is not a pleasure to see the rest pad and the edges of your covered with fingerprints. Surprisingly, behind the screen is coated with aluminum which gives an attractive aspect to this laptop. This material is very durable but easy to store fingerprints and other traces.



Asus has finally managed to refine the keyboard with separate buttons, and that of UL30 is almost excellent. Support key to not allow little push, and the buttons are large and airy. There are no missing key symbols and the cursors have a normal size. Touchpad with multitouch support is integrated in the restpad and is differentiated by a series of small grooves. Its accuracy is good, but it should be deactivated when you are writing longer documents because the touching counts as a click of Mouse’s. The battery occupies the whole side of the rear and the connectors are place on the sides. USB port should be more distant. It is almost impossible to connect both a receiver for a wireless mouse and a USB stick, even if both have the normal size. On the right side, near the audio plugs and above the card reader you will find a surprise slot. You can put a SIM card in it with 3G data plan, the laptop is equipped also with an appropriate modem.



If you are looking for a laptop, from Asus notebooks, to replace your desktop system at home and you are more interested in its multimedia performance, Asus K70 might be an inspired choice. Even those that are still playing occasionally can run the latest games because of the performance video card from NVIDIA. This laptop is not perfect and you have to take into account the limitations related to the angles of vision of the screen and the keyboard than is more cramped than a normal one. For those who have an LCD TV, HDMI video output will be welcome.
