Lenovo Z70 17.3-Inch Laptop

This Lenovo Z70 laptop is a winner! It was packed with everything I needed including lots of memory, lots of storage, a fast processor, a good graphics card, and a large display. It is a larger laptop from my old 15.6 display HP, and I enjoy having the additional viewing space for working or gaming. Although it is larger, it is actually lighter than my old HP too! It is wide, but not too thick or bulky. The design is smooth and sleek and the feel of the keyboard and touchpad is very nice. The keys are not backlit, but still easy to read. I have not had any issues with overheating from the graphics card yet, so don't think that would be a concern. Lenovo Z70 17.3-Inch Laptop runs pretty quiet and handles games well.

Customer Reviews

The laptop keyboard layout is rather poor. Some of the most used keys (shift, enter, etc.) should be larger, not the same size as other keys. Haven't played games yet to push it to the limit, but it is a good replacement to my HP quad-core desktop which I used for more than 6 years.

Really like the performance, look and feel of this large screen laptop. Screen is sharp and great for watching videos/movies. I don't play a lot of games but what I do runs well enough for me. Keyboard is outstanding and the touch pad has excellent responsiveness.
Lenovo builds solid, reliable computers. I own 3 Lenovo computers (2 laptop and 1 desktop). My sons (2) each have had Lenovo laptops for 2 yrs now and had no issues. 5 Lenovo computers, zero issues.

I adore the Z's from Lenovo. I started with the Z580 and without fail have upgraded from there. Fast, zippy and I like the fact it has a metal palmrest. Putting this one on my list. Dad bought this one recently and loves it. You cannot go wrong with a Z. Just solid.

Customer Reviews

This is an excellent laptop for the price I got which was 350$. It has bluetooth a quad core processor and 6 gigs of ram. The only complaint I could say about it is that the webcam is garbage but since I won't be using it I won't mine. Laptop is fast, the speakers surprised me by how loud they were.

Fast an reliable laptop screen looks awesome speakers are loud. First time using lenovo will be sticking with the brand.

Love this laptop, not the absolute best computer around but for the price it's worth it. Reliable computer, decent graphics, great sound quality and easy to use.

ASUS ROG GL551JW-DS71 15.6-Inch FHD Gaming Laptop

I chose ASUS ROG GL551JW, because i liked the design and also i felt the cooling technology is better in Asus. I received this laptop yesterday and i am very happy. I wanted to get a very good configuration laptop at a reasonable price. Within two days of placing the order, the price has dropped by around 23$. It is definitely worth it. I am running the laptop after detaching the battery :-) When i ordered this laptop, there was only one review and it was hard to make a decision. But now, after i see many more 5 stars i feel my decision was right. I also received a nice gaming mouse. Though i prefer sleek mouse over a large one, still i liked it. I am not a game enthusiast, all i wanted was a quad core laptop i7, with 16gb ram ,SSD, backlit keyboard and good cooling. This is the best laptop i could find within the price range.

Customer Reviews

Excellent and affordable gaming computer! One tip on swapping out the harddrive for an SSD: You will have to do a clean install of Windows 8.1 to do this. Your CD key is embedded on the laptop's motherboard, so all you do is burn a Windows 8.1 install DVD (off the internet), put the CD in, reboot the laptop, and install WIndows 8.1 fresh.

I was hesitant to buy this laptop as there was only 2 reviews. I took a chance and am glad i did! The design is great, it looks and feels amazing. It does like to collect smudges and fingerprints, but most all of them do. It doesn't get too hot, keyboard feels great. I haven't played anything too graphic intensive but it played CS:GO without a hiccup. Overall great product.

Very good laptop for an amazing price. Really hard to find the exact specs w/o paying alot more. No issues so far. Mostly used for multitasking and heavy multimedia usage. Have not tested games as yet but overall great buy.

ASUS Transformer Book 10.1inch Detachable 2-in-1 Touch Laptop

ASUS Transformer Book 10.1inch is awesome laptop, and comes with office, but has one fatal flaw. It can't handle power well at all. It comes with office, and performs like devices that are sometimes 500+ dollars more. It has a regular usb port when docked, and an HDMI mini output which makes it great for movies and Netflix. It even has a micro sd card slot which I've seen work with up to 128GB micro SD cards. At this time there aren't larger capacity cards available. It doesn't look bad at all, and the touchscreen is accurate and responsive. The screen size is perfect and keyboard feels natural. The pixel density isn't very high, but supposedly that helps with processing and battery life. And it's crazy cheap for what you're getting from ASUS Transformer Book 10.1inch.

ASUS Transformer Book 10.1inch Detachable 2-in-1 Touch Laptop

The specs of ASUS Transformer Book 10.1inch are great and the features are amazing, it's definitely a grande experience. One thing I might also recommend laptop is buying a $4 protective screen cover at to keep the fingerprints and dust under control. Because the screen gets a little smudgy from all the touching.

Pros:
+ It's fast for intel atom core but don't expect to play any heavy video games
+ this is design and ideal for notereading and somewhat for notetaking (will explain in the cons)
+ Some people say the material is cheap but I only agreed to the keyboard which sometimes I feel if you hit it hard enough it will break. But tablet wise feel very solid.
+ Comes with a microsoft windows 365 office (I prefer 2010 windows 7)
+ Touch screen is very fluid and responsive
+ Was at a cheap price so no complaint
+ there is a usb on the keyboard not to be bad
+ battery life is good as long as you don't use any heavy program that will drain it heavily
+ Good for traveling with
+ Has a webcam

Cons:
- A very terrible at stylus note taking (What ever you do, do not buy this for stylus writing!!!!!!!!!!). It's very unresponsible and I feel liike if you buy a stylus buy a one with a sharp tip not the ball pen one (sometimes it write off into a different tangent line). You will have a terrible writing and fustration is there.
- Keyboard is very small and fragile so becareful with it, also have a hard time typing on it so I rather type it on the tablet.
- You will need to buy USB connectors if your gonna use multiple USB devices (this one isn't too terrible since I bought a bundle)
- It's 32 gb as said its for notetaking and not gaming
- It's 10 kindve small
- Windows 8 you have to sign up a new account everytime, prefer the old style where you didn't have to do that.
- The microsoft office did had an install error and took forever and froze. Solution to this was reinstall again.

Overall: It's a ok tablet for notetaking but I wish it had more functions into the stylus like the lenovo x230 tablets where you don't have to constantly manually switching between mouse and stylus. It's good for surfing the internet and READING notes 10/10. Note taking side I give a it a 4/10 since it's small, cheap keyboard thats about to break if your forcefull, not ideal for stylus writing, and sometimes not responsive. Good for traveling, watching movies, and other casual entertainment.

Cutomer Reviews

Excellent notebook! Works great. Internet access fast and perfect. Everything is working great.Windows 8.1 is very helpful. Skype and Facebook access also very fast! Battery quite good - more than 5 hours! I am very content with my new Mini Laptop. I am working with a wireless mouse but the Touch Pad is also very good. This Acer notebook is strongly recommended!

A great little laptop. Does the basics which is all I wanted. Not a ton of storage space but if you want something for general browsing that is as small as a tablet but a bit more durable and for half the price this is the way to go.

A great product for the price. The laptop is reasonably fast and good for just about any use other than heavy 3D stuff. HD movies play smoothly and it can run a wide range of productivity software just fine, ranging from Office to Matlab. The only downside is that the SSD drive is only 32GB, and Windows takes up about half of that. However, it does have a SD card slot an a USB 3.0 port for additional storage.

Acer Aspire E 11 ES1-111M-C40S is very light laptop, it has a nice touch-pad and keyboard. It has all the features that were advertised. The SSD which has only 32GB has only 13GB available for personal use for documents or install any application. For the price and the features that Acer Aspire E 11 ES1-111M-C40S offers I am satisfied with it.

ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 13.3-Inch Ultra-Slim Aluminum Laptop

ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 is lighter, slimmer and faster than other notebooks in its class to give you the unmatched power and all-day portability you need to conquer your day. And when other glossy notebooks show more glare than what’s actually on the screen, ASUS ZenBook always shines through even the sunniest days thanks to the 13-inch matte anti-glare wide-angle IPS display. Featuring the new Intel Core M processor, do more with faster speeds and enhanced efficiency that automatically adjusts performance to what you’re doing. Add to that the incredible responsiveness of the Solid State Drive (SSD), everything from startup to loading demanding programs happens in a flash. And like the silent power of an electric sports car, the fanless processor and SSD give you all the power you want--without any of the noise.

ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 13.3-Inch Ultra-Slim Aluminum Laptop

Looking for a high quality computer that runs Windows? Look no further. This ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 small Asus laptop is a powerhouse in a tiny body and, from everything I've seen so far, is the ideal laptop for someone who is looking for a Windows-based laptop that is easy to travel with.

PROS:

+ The weight - this thing is LIGHT! As a photography I regularly use a laptop that has a 17" screen so that I can best edit my photos. When I pick up my large laptop, after handling the Zenbook, it feels like a brick. At one point my 10 year old daughter was using one hand to hold the Zenbook and another to type - that is how light it is!

+ The QUIET! Until the Zenbook I never realized how noisy my regular computer truly was. The fan running in my regular computer helps to keep it cool, which is a necessity when running photoshop, but it is definitely one of those small background noises that you tend to start to ignore after awhile. The moment I started using the Zenbook was when I realized how accustomed to my laptops fan noise I had become. When the manufacturer says the Zenbook is quiet, they weren't kidding!

+ The accessibility. Most normal laptops take at least 20-30 minutes to set up the first time. The Zenbook took less than 10. In less than 10 minutes it was up and running, connected to the internet (and keep in mind my internet is fairly slow) and my Google desktop and information was transferred onto it. If you know how to run Windows 8.1, you'll be fine. If you don't, this may be a bit of a learning curve.

+ The charging. This laptop charges faster than any laptop I've ever owned - it roughly charges in the same amount of time as my Kindle Fire does!

+ The battery. For an experiment, we unplugged the Zenbook at 3 PM and started using it. I used it a bit, my husband did, my daughter and my son, without ever once plugging it back in. Sometimes we closed the lid and let it sleep, other times it was used for web-based gaming or internet browsing, or simply to listen to music. By 11 PM that night the Zenbook still had 31% battery. We were impressed.

+ The look. This laptop looks beautiful. With it's sleek casing and the slim size, it simply looks impressive!

+ The Bluetooth. Not every laptop comes with Bluetooth connectivity, but this little sweetheart does. We had it hooked up to our Bluetooth speakers very quickly, which is good because the speakers on the Zenbook aren't the greatest.

THE CONS:

- The battery. Unlike my regular laptop, the Zenbook seems to have an internal battery. While it holds it's battery charge most impressively, I wonder what will happen if the battery starts to die as it looks as though it can't be replaced easily.

- The case. As gorgeous as the casing is, it does tend to get fingerprint marks on it fairly easily. They're not hugely noticeable unless the lighting is right, but if you want your laptop looking pristine you'd definitely be wiping it down on a regular basis.

- The speakers. As with most laptops, this one comes loaded with Spotify. Unfortunately we weren't super impressed with the volume out of the Zenbook. The small speakers are on the bottom of the laptop, which actually took us a little bit of time to find because they're so small. As a family of audiophiles, we weren't hugely impressed with the volume of sound the Zenbook had, but the quality wasn't horrible - we just wish it could go a bit louder.

- The size. Now please note that we have not dropped, banged, or otherwise dinged up our Zenbook so I'm not sure how much it will hold up to being beaten around, but I can see how someone would worry that the size of the Zenbook would make it more delicate. I can say that the casing seems extremely sturdy, not flimsy at all, and it's my educated guess that it can easily put up with the rigors of everyday life.

As someone who has always had 15" or larger laptops, I am beyond impressed by the ASUS Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1. I absolutely adore the speed and efficiency of the Zenbook and was shocked to realize that I don't feel deprived by the 13" screen. While this isn't the laptop to get for someone who is into serious, hardcore gaming, nor someone who needs to edit photos using a program that takes up tons of your computers memory, this IS the ideal laptop for someone who wants to be able to take their laptop with them quickly and easily, and for anyone who wants a small, affordable laptop that is packing more than enough power for everyday projects underneath it's casing.

Customer Review

After comparing numerous laptops, I decided to get this one. The battery life is very long (7 hours), and it has some great features, such as Bluetooth and USB 3.0. Also, it looks nice, which I know is important to many people, including me.
As for Windows 8 (Windows 8.1, to be specific), I really like it. Once you get used to it, there's a good chance you'll like it, too. The desktop is very similar to Windows 7, but the start menu changed; it is now the start SCREEN, where you launch your apps, programs, etc. If you scroll down or click the down arrow in the start screen (to go to ALL APPS), you can find all programs and apps installed on your computer (including Control Panel, Windows Help, etc.). You can get loads of awesome free or paid apps and games from the APP STORE app, if you have a Microsoft Account (which you can set up for free when setting up the laptop). Windows 8.1 isn't the best thing for serious multitaskers, though, because apps are in full screen only (unlike in Windows 10).

This laptop is decently fast. People who use it for web browsing and word processing will be more than pleased with the speed. Gamers who play moderate to mildly heavy (as in, games that don't take up TOO much memory) games should be satisfied. Programmers who use large and expensive software might find that this computer cannot handle the software, but I doubt they could get a better, faster one at this price.
