(Page 1 of 4 )
Today we will review two mainstream laptops you can find in local retail stores: the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 and the Dell Inspiron I1470-3282CRD. Let's take a closer look at these portable machines.
Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 laptop
The Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 is a 16-inch laptop found in retail stores that offers a standard set of features with average performance. You can pick up one up for the affordable price of $499.99. It comes with a standard one-year warranty on parts and labor. Technical support is available online through email or via telephone through Asus’ toll-free line.
The fixed retail configuration of the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 comes with a 2.1 GHz Intel Pentium T4300 processor with 1 MB of L2 cache. This dual-core processor provides decent performance that should satisfy casual users looking for a laptop to perform simple tasks such as Internet surfing, some multimedia, and the like. If you want a laptop with better performance you might want to shop around for one with a Core 2 Duo processor instead, as you may be underwhelmed by the performance provided by the included processor on this model if you seek better than average speed.
The K60IJ-RBLX05 has 4 GB of DDR2 SDRAM, which isn’t bad, and helps when you want to have several applications open at once. There is a good amount of storage for all of your important data in the form of a 320 GB hard drive. For graphics, you get an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M card. The included six-cell battery gives you about 3.5 hours of usage when fully charged, which is a little less than you might find on some other laptops in its class. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is the operating system that comes already installed.
Besides its main components, you also get some extra features with the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05. There’s built-in 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi to let you connect to available wireless networks while on the road. You can watch your favorite DVDs and listen to CDs using its included DVD drive.
If you enjoy chatting with your friends, you will certainly make use of its 1.3-megapixel camera and microphone for video chat. The webcam is also useful with the laptop’s facial recognition software, that gives your computer added security by letting you log in by simply putting your face in front of the camera rather than typing in a password. Also included is a 3-in-1 media reader that is useful for quickly transferring data from other devices such as digital cameras.
