The Dell Vostro 1700 Notebook offers great performance as it includes the latest generation Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.  This allows it to offer up to 28% greater performance than the prior generation while also providing a longer battery life.

The 17-inch Dell Vostro 1700 is the largest model in the PC maker’s new Vostro business laptop lineup, launched this week.

The 1700 is built on the Intel “Santa Rosa” platform and features the Core 2 Duo processor, and a choice of GM965 chipset with integrated GMA X3100 graphics or PM965 paired with dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 128MB video card. The Vostro 1700’s 17” widescreen display features 1440×900 or 1920×1200 resolution, depending on your choice.

This notebook is offered with up to 4GB of system memory. The usage of more than 3GB of RAM requires a 64-bit operating system, which is currently not offered on the laptop’s product page. Dell Vostro 1700 comes with up to 320GB of data storage capacity, which is achieved by using two 160GB SATA units at 5400rpm simultaneously.

The networking features are the same as in other Intel-based Vostros. They include wireless LAN supporting 802.11n draft standard optionally, an Ethernet LAN, a 56k modem, an optional Bluetooth, and a choice of AT&T, Sprint and Verizon mobile broadband modules. Additionally, you can purchase the 1700 with a built-in 2 megapixel web camera, mounted on the top of the display panel.

The laptop has an ExpressCard slot, five USB ports, a eight-in-one media card reader, an infra-red sensor, and a Firewire. For external monitor and TV connections, there are VGA and S-Video outputs.

Dell Vostro 1700 model features the same internal components and a chassis shape as Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook for consumers. However, Vostro 1700 is black, while the 1720 comes in eight different colors.
Both models have a numeric keypad, besides a standard keyboard.

Dell Vostro 1700 weighs up to 7.62 lbs, depending on configuration, and is available via the company’s online store.

This 12-inch notebook is based on the Intel’s “Santa Rosa” mobile platform and the GM965 chipset, and features a Celeron or a Core 2 Duo processor, depending on customers choice. The Dell Vostro 1200 uses the Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics and supports up to 4GB of system memory. It comes with up to 160GB 5,400rpm hard drive and has a built-in DVD burner or Combo drive.

The 1200 model, which is the smallest laptop in the Vostro lineup, features a 12.1? widescreen display with 1280-by-800 pixels resolution. Optionally, there is a 2-megapixel camera placed at the top of the LCD panel.

Regarding communications, the Vostro 1200 supports 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networking and provides Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, a 56K modem, and an optional Bluetooth module.

The new ultraportable, which runs Windows XP or Windows Vista OS, has three USB ports, an ExpressCard slot, a 3-in-1 media card reader, and an optional fingerprint reader. According to the specifications, the system weighs approximately 4.16 pounds with a standard 4-cell battery.

 The Dell Vostro 1500 comes with a 15.4 inch screen and one of the best processors in the computer industry. Dell has equipped their laptop with the Intel Core 2 Duo technology that is rated at 1.6 Gigahertz processing speed. This should be fast enough to satisfy any average computer laptop user and those who use it should also be impressed with the Core 2 Duo processing technology that was included.
There is also plenty of hard drive room to store whatever you need. Business professionals and college students alike will be able to store as many documents as they need in the 160 Gigabyte hard drive. This is about twice the size of an average size laptop computer’ hard drive and should provide more than enough room for thousands of songs, multiple video files, as well as the documents that are stored. Also included with the Dell Vostro 1500 is an excellent video card option. Integrated graphics are included with this laptop, but Dell has placed the NVIDIA GeForce video card with it as well. The GeForce 8400 GS or the 8600 GS are the two options that laptop computer users can choose from when ordering this laptop. Both of the GeForce’s video cards are excellent and should be able to handle any movie or high-graphics game with excellent style and flare.

There are several other features of the Dell Vostro 1500 which make it a great Dell product. For starters, it comes with 4 USB ports so there should be no problem connecting whatever accessories are needed. Whether you want to hookup your digital camera or have multiple iPods or mp3 players, you can do all of this with the 4 USB ports that are available. In addition, there is also an ExpressCard slot so that digital camera users will be assured that they can transfer all of their pictures immediately to their computer’s hard drive. In addition to all these features, Dell can also include an optional 2.0 megapixel camera that is included right on the laptop’s hardware, as well as an optional Bluetooth feature. The Bluetooth feature would make it possible for any of the other Bluetooth pieces of hardware that laptop user’s have that they need to connect to their computer.

Furthermore the keyboard layout is alright; there are some keys added that are slightly on the right of the enter key that helped the other keys not to be huddled together too much. The noise level when typing depends crucially upon the hardness of the strokes und starts from quiet clicking to a dull stroke noise when hitting the keys hard with two fingers. We also noticed a type of “razing” noise when using the keys that mildly reduced the keyboard’s quality impression.

The top side of the notebook provides a simple impression, which is also due to the lack of additional hot keys. Nevertheless you do not necessarily need these since there are a range of silver coloured keys to control the Media Player functions, as well as the level of the sound. The output that is located below the touchpad at the leading edge.

The touchpad itself is flawless in use and responds precisely. Beside the pleasing and smooth surface – thanks to the good sliding properties – both the horizontal and vertical scrollbars also increased its ease of use.

The two touchpad keys are very easy and convenient to use, especially exampled in the soft key recoil which operates without any annoying clicking noises.

The Dell Vostro 1500 is definitely a great computer to go with if you are trying to decide whether or not to actually buy a brand new laptop. It contains many great features for the beginner user as well as offers excellent storage capacity options. Dell has certainly produced great laptops with the Vostro line!

Vostro 1310 laptops, which measure 12.48 x 0.94 (front)/1.47 (back) x 9.57 inches (W x H x D) with a starting weight of 4.6 pounds, are thinner and lighter than preceding generation. It features a magnesium-alloy strengthened chassis, robust hinges and sealed keyboards.

The Dell Vostro 1310 is available with a range of Intel processors (from the 1.86GHz Celeron M M540 up to the T9500 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo). There are two 13.3″ screen offerings, a 1280×800 WXGA with matte anti-glare coating and 1280×800 WXGA “TrueLife” glossy display. The notebook can take up to 4GB of RAM and Dell offers 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Windows XP Professional. The system is priced starting at $749 with integrated Intel X3100 graphics at the time of this writing, but is also available with nVidia 8400M GS dedicated graphics.

The Vostro range is aimed primarily at business users — you’ll find it in the business section of the Dell Web site — but there’s nothing to stop consumers from taking advantage of their low price tags. Most budget machines are heavy and slow, but the Vostro 1310 only weighs slightly more than 2kg and has a surprisingly good specification.

The Vostro 1310 is a decent all-rounder for everyday office tasks and Web surfing, and we reckon it’s probably a good buy in its lower specification guise. With the high-end spec that our review machine came with, however, it merely looks like a budget laptop that’s trying too hard to make it into the major league.

The Dell Vostro range is aimed at small business, with several technology and customer service options available. Options range from processor and screen type to software and theft-insurance. We look at one of Dell’s notebook computers from this range — the Vostro 1400.

The Vostro 1400 is a sleek black machine with silver buttons for power and multimedia functions. It came supplied with Windows Vista Business edition and its 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM give it strong performance. The 160GB hard-drive comes with a 10GB recovery partition pre-installed. There is also a DVD RW drive with dual-layer writing on the right hand side of the machine.

Dell has paid close attention to durability with hard-drive shock protection, magnesium-alloy casing and a sealed keyboard to keep out dust and moisture. The screen has sturdy, firm hinges, but we were disappointed to note that there is no latch to hold the screen closed, leaving it to rely on the hinge stiffness. The LCD is well supported producing little image distortion under pressure. The black casing is generally good for hiding dirt and other marks, although the screen-backing is inclined to pick up fingerprints. The 85Wh battery is more like something you would find on a significantly larger machine and thus a long battery life can be expected.

The 14.1-inch wide-screen has a 1440×900 pixel resolution and provides sharp images with good colour. However the highly reflective screen would not be great outdoors. There is also a Webcam capable of taking photos and video at up to a 1600×1200 resolution. Refresh rate is nothing special, but Internet lag means this is unlikely to be noticed in Web applications. The camera has excellent depth of field but does not handle colours well in exceptionally bright areas. Sound quality was quite acceptable and was produced by twin speakers located just below the screen hinges.

Ports include a pair of USB ports on either side of the machine; 1394 Firewire, network and modem. Video output is via D-sub VGA or S-video. At the front there are basic audio in/out jacks plus a reader for SD, MMC and MS/Pro memory cards. There is no facility for a port replicator. Also included is Bluetooth and Wireless-N Wi-Fi for fast networking.

The keyboard features full size keys with good tactile response. Secondary functions are shown very clearly with bright blue lettering. The touchpad felt good, but is oddly placed slightly left of the centre of the palm-rest.

The best thing about this laptop is the value. Other machines with similar specs cost hundreds more. In addition, unlike other companies, Dell allows you to choose your upgrades and personalize your machine. I also like that Dell did not install any trialware. I just took the laptop out of the box and began using it without having to reload the programs on my harddrive. The machine stays cool and quiet and has the feel of one that is more expensive.

Optical zoom is not new to cameraphones – the 902 and 903 models by Sharp, as well as Nokia N93 and N93i, were equipped with cameras with optical zoom a good while ago. But in Samsung G800 it goes with a five megapixel sensor and a xenon flash, which makes this handset’s camera unmatched, at least in the number of features it offers. We are yet to see if quantity means quality but our first impressions back in October were surely positive. Finally, we have to say that the G800’s greatest market share rival will be Sony Ericsson’s top shelf cameraphone K850. It has the virtually the same specs save for the optical zoom and, in our point of view, the price will play a major role in this duel. We will refrain from including Nokia N95 here because the smartphone functionality puts it in a slightly different niche than the twosome in question.

Now, there is only one last thing that we need to mention before we cut to the chase. The unit we had for testing purposes was a final beta release candidate, so you might expect some minor changes and improvements in both software and hardware before the handset officially hits the shelves – however we don’t expect them to be many. We didn’t have any problems with it plus it came in the retail packaging that will see the handset selling.

The wrap-around trim, lustrous coating and flawless finish make each notebook a true design piece. Special styling features such as smooth rounded borders and flashy lighting effects will make you stand out from the crowd. This notebook is a design first; Sony VAIO has drawn on the latest in notebook technology to create a multiple layer coating that is not only glossy and a fashion must-have but is robust enough to protect the keyboard and LCD screen inside.

With a 10x Canon optical zoom – featuring a 35mm film equivalent focal length of 36-360mm – the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS brings even distant subjects into view, making it the perfect camera for everything from school sports days to family holidays. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer technology combats the effects of camera shake, delivering sharp, blur-free shots throughout the camera’s extensive zoom range.

The Canon PowerShot SX110 IS uses a lens shift-type Image Stabilizer (IS) system to detect and correct slight camera shakes that can cause image blur. Minute vibration gyros detect lens tilting caused by hand shake. These signals – 4,000 per second – are processed by a single-chip IS controller, which discriminates between hand shake and unintentional camera movements. Shake signals are sent to the IS unit, which moves one of the lens elements accordingly to deflect the light rays and cancel out the effects of shake. For improved accuracy and responsiveness, the moving lens element is supported on tiny ceramic spheres. In addition to minimizing friction, ceramic spheres avoid some of the problems that can affect metal systems, such as thermal expansion and magnetism. The optical IS of both models allows photographers to shoot at shutter speeds up to 3 stops slower with no perceptible increase in image blur due to camera shake.

Canon’s Face Detection AF/AE/FE/WB system automatically detects up to nine faces within a frame before adjusting focus, exposure, flash and white balance to ensure optimal results. The Face Detection system of the PowerShot SX100 IS is able to determine which faces are intended to be the subject, instantly reverting to the partnering 9-point AiAF system if no face is the primary subject. Face Select & Track allows the user to select a particular face to be the main subject of a photograph and track it, for the best possible results.

The Canon SX110 IS features a wide range of 20 shooting modes designed to achieve optimum results in a wide range of lighting conditions – a great help for users of all levels, from complete novices to more experienced photographers. Shooting modes include a new Easy Mode, which sees all shooting settings chosen automatically by the camera – perfect for beginners prone to making unsuitable adjustments. Easy Mode also limits Playback options to simple image viewing and deletion functions. At the other end of the spectrum, experienced users can switch to full manual control, and customize settings for special effects or unusual lighting. To keep shots looking sharp, Motion Detection Technology – activated in High ISO Auto mode – uses Face Detection Technology, the optical Image Stabilizer and scene information to identify subject motion and camera-shake. ISO is also optimized for minimum blur and maximum image quality.

The PowerShot SX110 optical 10 times, it’s easy, your picture will be a permanent memorial dramatic, emotional close-ups to get the zoom lens. This magnificent lens, the power of the distance subject with razor-sharp precision and stunning lifelike color can be taken. So, sparkling trees and birds, the stadium and the school play from the last row of children from around the goal of winning a high peak can be captured. In addition, Canon’s advanced optical image stabilizer, thanks to technology, with the biggest zoom all the pictures of the rocks steady.

Its 20x super-zoom that comes with a massive 28-560mm focal length can easily capture any shot from wide-angle to long-range telephoto.

With a host of automatic features, the Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera enables you to take high quality images with little hassle. Those who are used to using Canon\’s SX series will immediately notice a great improvement in image quality with the new model. Its 28-560mm lens captures amazing pictures putting in head and shoulders above other camera models of its class.

The new Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera has a DIGIC 4 image processor that increases the rate of noise reduction delivering high image quality a high ISO speeds. It also has a new I-Contrast feature that automatically adjusts contrast rations for better transition between light and dark shades.

Another impressive feature of the Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera is its impressive 20x optical zoom. This zooming capacity is way above your average set of binoculars. While testing out the zoom in my living room, the camera can easily capture crisp and bright images of some small prints across the room.

This new model has a 2.5 inch LCD display, which in my opinion, seems a tad small by today\’s standards. I personally would prefer a bigger display screen more than anything else. All in all, in my books, the Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera is still one of the best cameras in its class.

With DIGIC 4, you can produce high quality photos. Its Face Detection Technology allows you to take better portraits. You can now get sharper motion photos with Motion Detection Technology. SX10IS\’ new i-Contrast feature produces natural-looking detail in dark areas of photos.
