Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

The HP Spectre XT TouchSmart is the bigger and beefier brother of the non-touch, 13-inch laptop of the same name that steps up the gorgeous all-metal design to 15-inches and includes a 10-point touch screen. Is this enough to make you splash the cash o...
Good As soon as you get the machine out of the box, you'll realise that it's a well constructed piece of kit: the all-metal thin chassis and brushed-silver finish scream quality, and it's all topped off with a solid backlit keyboard and plenty of ports along the side, including a Thunderbolt port for super fast data transfer.The main attraction on the TouchSmart is the 15-inch, 1080p 10-point touchscr...
Bad One major gripe we had with the laptop was the trackpad. We had issues with scrolling and tracking, not to mention the feel of the click itself: it just feels clanky and hollow and not at all as solid as the rest of the laptop.Even with the Beats logo adorning the right hand side of the speaker grill, it's still not a qualifier of sound quality. The speakers on the TouchSmart sounded tinny when c...
Bottom line HP has crafted a beautiful laptop, with a gorgeous, responsive 1080p touchscreen that's let down by its trackpad, battery life and enormous price. If you're not looking to do any major gaming, or you won't be too far away from a power outlet, then HP's...
