Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

Product Code: MB986LL/A Apples revised unibody MacBook Pro 15in (Mid 2009) is also the fastest weve ever tested. For this mid-2009 update of its laptop range, Apple has kept the unique unibody construction introduced last October, and bumped up pr...
Bottom line It’s not the cheapest 15in laptop currently available, but the new Apple MacBook Pro is arguably the best that money can buy today. Only the poor screen quality really lets down an otherwise near-perfect machine. If you can overlook this, then the t...

The 15in MacBook Pro has historically been the most popular model in Apple’s pro laptop line-up. It’s certainly easier to tote around than its more powerful 17in big brother, though its feature-to-price ratio compared favourably. Now, with a 13in MacBo...
