Acer Aspire V5-571P Laptop Review

acer-v5The Acer Aspire V5 series is a welcomed edition to the ever increasing world of portable devices, boasting laptop form and tablet functionality.

Samsung-Series-5-Chromebook-3G-Arctic-White-model-XE500C21If you like a fast boot up, a long battery life and access to all of your favorite applications then you will love the new Samsung Chromebook Series 5. It looks like a small laptop, but it is really a new innovation called a Chromebook.

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5271 Review

toshiba-satellite-l755-s5271This laptop has come out this year and got popular really fast, but there is a reason why it’s on Amazons best selling list.  If you have seen some of my other posts you know that I like Toshiba.   I’m using a Toshiba at the moment to write this review so I could be a little biased with this one.   It wouldn’t be on Amazons best selling if it wasn’t a quality laptop though,  reviews are good on this one. This has a really nice clear screen and is light weight to match.  It’s a quick one for it’s price point, it has a 2.1 GHz Intel Dual Processor that can handle a lot of processing.  It’s great if you’re on a budget too because it has some eco-saving features that can save you money on electricity like the LED lit screen.  It also comes with Windows 7 which also helps the graphics look nicer.   Now I’ll go into some of the Pros and Cons of this machine.
