Simplicity, carried to the extreme, becomes elegance.
In the past designing a specific netbook or laptop for kids has been a hit or miss affair, but Samsung have taken this one step further with the launch of the NC110 Pororo netbook. It has been designed using a popular South Korean penguin type cartoon character with the name Pororo.
These days it seems that a netbook is merely just a small computer, thanks to the tablet invasion netbooks have fallen out favour with consumers and therefore the manufacturers are not too keen on bringing out anything new to this market.
When it comes to the Toshiba dynabook Qosmio range of laptops, there is already a wide choice and the range has just been given a new addition with the T551 entertainment laptop. It comes with an impressive list of features and specs that have been chosen to make this laptop the ideal choice for the buyer that loves video. There are two different models in the dynabook Qosmio T551 range but they difference is only the colour of the case, with the T551/T4EW (PT551T4EBFW – White) and the T551/T4EB (PT551T4EBFB – Black)!

Toshiba has always gone for the high end of the market and with the introduction of the new R731/W5UE notebook; it is safe to say that there is no change there. The R731/W5UE is a premium notebook offering the buyer the highest quality, but as ever this sort of quality comes at a price. The R731/W5UE is a nice looking piece of kit and will work for professionals, those in education and of course gamers too as it offers the high end specs expected by these buyers.
Samsung have announced that they will be launching their latest ultraportable laptop the 11.6 inch NP305U1A-A01 into the European market with a starting price of around $490. This price tag is not bad when you consider that underneath that shiny casing, there is a, AMD E-450 processor, AMD Radeon HD6320M graphics and it has a useful 500 GB hard drive too.
We do not get to hear too much from Epson these days, they seem to be concentrating on the home market rather than further afield and yet the company’s latest laptop looks as if it could hold its own within the fourteen inch sector! It offers a choice of processor, good RAM and reasonable storage. However, more than that, this is laptop that has a different look; its sharp and clean design suggests that this could do well in other markets such as the US, especially as it comes in at under $700! Whether Epson could supply this demanding market is another matter, we shall have to wait and see.
