Without a doubt, ASUS has really managed to tackle the tablet segment from a completely new and innovative angle, all of its models offering physical keyboards, either as an accessory or built right in the device’s body. OK, we’ll have to admit that there’s only one model providing the last feature mentioned above, namely the ASUS Eee Pad Slider, which is also the subject of the following review.

ASUS has aways been considered the “father of netbooks”, launching the first generation of Eee Pcs back in 2007, but also releasing the most widespread array of products in this segment.

Furthermore, Intel, the main produced or netbook-oriented CPUs, is also constantly releasing new and improved processing units,... 

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is a business laptop built to last. This particular model was announced back in May 2011 and proved to be the thinnest, most powerful ThinkPad. The laptop manages to combine in a very interesting business and multimedia technologies. The model we’ve had the chance of testing came equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM memory, an 160GB SSD from Intel for storage, as well as an Intel HD3000 graphics card. This configuration fared pretty well during tests, but the graphics card is a bit of a draw-back, especially... 

We’re pretty sure that 2012 will be known as the “year of the ultrabook”, with the phenomenon growing at a very fast rate. In fact, ever since Computex 2011, various big names in the IT industry have started rolling new ultrabooks, with quite a few new models being unveiled at the recently ended CES 2012. Acer Aspire S3 ACER was among the first manufacturers to push an ultrabook model onto the market, its Aspire S3 being the most affordable one to be unveiled in 2011 (Lenovo, for example, released the U300S and ASUS introduced... 

What are exactly your top priorities when choosing a new laptop? I do believe that the answer is “performance first”, since most people expect their portable to run in a similar fashion to their recent desktop PC, no matter what application it’s faced with. Another plus would probably be represented by a Full HD display, and perhaps a graphics card capable of playing the latest game titles at maxed-out details. Well, the truth of the matter is that you can find all of these features in a single gaming portable device and no, we’re...

Adding the name Lamborghini next to anything means adding performance to it. Asus has teamed up with the famous car manufacturer back in 2006 and since then they’ve made impressive products. The Asus Lamborghini VX7 is one of the latest models and just like the car manufacturer it features impressive looks and performance you’ll certainly love. You have the right to ask yourself what does an Italian supercar have to do with a computer. The first can hit 200 MPH in no time while the other just sits there on your desk. Truth be told...
