    This is a basic laptop (at a cheap price!) for basic internet and multimedia stuff (not for videogames though). For its category, it has a surprisingly high amount of disk space. 

    Key characteristics

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Realtek PCI-E Fast Ethernet + Wi-Fi b/g/n w/Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Card (usually everything you need for Wi-Fi & browsing - of course, it doesn't reach top internet speed as it is limited to 100 Mbit/s)

    • Ports: USB 3.0, 2xUSB 2.0, HDMI, Audio, Ethernet (pretty good selection of ports)

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64bit (pretty standard; this laptop has enough memory to run the 64bit version)

    Reviews on other sites

    This model got excellent reviews on Notebook-center.ru with 5 out of 5 stars. Many platforms don't show any reviews yet (e.g. Amazon) simply because it's a very new device.

    Pros:

    • Relatively good performance

    • Great price/performance ratio

    Contras:

    • None

Great storage size (e.g. for many downloads, huge music & movies collections) for its price.

    0
    (0)
    0
    (0)

    The new HP Elitebook Folio G1 is the thinnest & lightest business laptop ever made (even thinner than the Macbook 12 2016!). If you are looking for a device that looks luxurious, is powerful enough for business workloads, extremely light and very silent this may be the right choice for you.

     

    Key characteristics

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Intel Dual Band-Wireless AC-8160 Wi-Fi ac w/Bluetooth 4.2 (As of 2016 this is the best Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity you can get)

    • Ports: 2xUSB 3.1 Type-C ThunderBolt 3 and DisplayPort 1.2 Compliant, 3,5mm Audio (Extremely limited port selection, can be extended thanks to Thunderbolt Docking Stations)

    • Weight: 979g (Just a bit heavier than the Macbook 12)

    • Battery; 41Wh, 11 Hours Lifetime

    • PSU: 45W

    • Webcam: Infrared Webcam with Support for Windows Hello Facial Recognition technology

    • Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64

     

    (Typical) user groups

    The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:

    • Business users in need of a silent and lightweight PC that can deliver a good amount of performance.
    • Home Cinema enthusiasts, thanks to its gorgeous screen, powerful Quad Bang & Olufsen speakers and the Intel QuickSync Video Encoder/Decoder, the Elitebook Folio G1 can deliver impressive movie and music playback.
    • Typists and journalists, the Elitebook Folio's Keyboard is said to be even better than the one present in the Lenovo ThinkPad series, which, before the release of this laptop, was considered the best laptop keyboard ever made.

     

    Reviews on other sites

    With a score of 90% on Notebookcheck and 5 stars on Amazon, this computer has an excellent rating.

     

    Pros:

    • Extremely light weight and portability,
    • Sturdy case
    • Best keyboard on the market,
    • Gorgeous display
    • Great Bang & Olufsen Speakers
    • Completely silent operation
    • Impressive infrared webcam

    Contras:

    • Lack of ports and adapters which is, by the way, already much better than its main rival: the Macbook 12
    • The Alps ClickPad that sometimes doesn't register taps

    Conclusion

    The HP EliteBook Folio G1 is a very good device, but you should be aware of its limitations. If you are looking for an extremely mobile device and do not want to waive silent operation and a great keyboard, there is no reason why you shouldn't get this notebook.

    You can buy it on Amazon.

    (0)

    This relatively inexpensive high-end 2-in-1 convertible which packs the usual impressive build quality HP is known for.

      Alas this Computer has one of the best typing experiences on a 12.9" PC.

    The Spectre x2 12 also features a powerful quad speaker from Bang & Olufsen (very impressive for a device so slim) that will make music enthusiasts very happy. The only drawback is that the processor performance and battery life are unfortunately just average (but not bad at all) for the category,

    The HP Spectre x2 12 is one of the most versatile and stylish PCs and if you write heavily and/or you are a music lover, this may be the right computer for you. If you need a much more powerful CPU and you are willing to spend a few extra bucks, the Acer Aspire Switch 12 is a much better option.

    Key characteristics

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac w/Bluetooth 4.0 + LTE SIM Slot (the HP Spectre x2 12, like most convertible PCs, lacks cabled Ethernet interface but has all the latest tech for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and the possibility to add a Data SIM on selected models)

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64bit

    • Connectivity: USB 3.0, USB 3.0 Type-C 3,5mm Audio, microSD card reader (limited connectivity typical of 2-In-1 Convertibles)

     

    (Typical) user groups

    The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:

    • Writers looking for a versatile computer that can offer a great typing experience.
    • Multimedia Enthusiast that are not really into computer gaming will find this PC very interesting, especially music fans.

     

    Reviews on other sites

    With an overall rating of 87/100 (87% on Notebookcheck and 5/5 Stars on Amazon.com) this computer has a great overall rating.

     

    Pros:

    • Great keyboard dock
    • USB-Type C Port
    • Great screen quality
    • Great camera module from Intel
    • Adjustable feet stand
    • Silent fanless operation

    Contras:

    • Average CPU performance
    • Battery life under heavy load

     

    Conclusion

    The HP Spectre x2 12 is one of the most versatile and stylish PCs, and if you write heavily and/or you are a music lover, this may be the right computer for you. If you need a much more powerful CPU and are willing to spend a few extra bucks, the Acer Aspire Switch 12 can be a much better option.

    The HP Pavilion 11t x360 is a small and economic basic Home Theater PC that has the advantage of being convertible to desktop, laptop and tablet form factor. Thanks to its completely silent and fanless design, great video encoder/decoder, huge storage, external TV HDMI connectivity and gorgeous integrated IPS screen with an almost perfect color reproduction, this small computer is an excellent entertainment device.

    Key characteristics

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Realtek PCI-E Fast Ethernet + Realtek RTL8723BE Wi-Fi b/g/n w/Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Card (usually everything you need for internet browsing - of course, being a cheap cloudbook, it doesn't reach top internet speed as it is limited to 100 Mbit/s on both LAN and Wi-Fi)

    • Ports: 2xUSB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, Audio, Ethernet, SD Card Reader (pretty good selection of ports)

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64bit (this PC has enough memory to run the 64bit version)

    Reviews on other sites

    Pros:

    • Excellent screen with an almost perfect color reproduction and fast response rates
    • Big storage capacity for cloudbook standards (500GB instead of the usual 32GB)

    Contras:

    • Short battery life
    • Low performance outside the audio/video playback world

    • Not surprisingly, this model gets a lot of praise for its excellent screen with an almost perfect color reproduction and fast response rates, its big storage capacity for cloudbook standards (500GB instead of the usual 32GB), silent operation and great value ratio.

    • This model got some criticism for its short battery life and low performance outside the audio/video playback world.

    0
    (0)
    0
    (0)

    The AMD based HP Pavilion lineup has just been refreshed with the latest AMD "Bristol Ridge" processors! With its price tag of just 550$/619€, Quad Core Processor and AMD Dual Graphics, The HP Pavilion 15-aw004ng is a great choice for anyone entering into the world of multimedia and gaming computers.

    The low price suggests this PC has also some flaws... like the mediocre battery life and the necessity of keeping the Graphic drivers constantly up to date to get the most performance in games, especially the ones not designed with AMD Dual Graphics in mind. Thankfully HP choose swisely what to sacrifice and the overall system performance leaves a good impression.

    Key characteristics

     

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Realtek RTL8101/2/3 Fast Ethernet + Realtek RTL 8723BE Wi-Fi b/g/n w/Bluetooth 4.0 (usually everything you need for Wi-Fi & browsing - both LAN and Wi-Fi connectivity doesn't reach top internet speed as they both are limited to 100 Mbit/s)

    • Ports: USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, HDMI, Audio, RJ-45, SD card Reader, DVD Drive (pretty good selection of ports, especially because this model features a good old DVD Drive)

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64bit

     

    (Typical) user groups

    The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:

    • Multimedia enthusiasts and gamers who want to save as much money as possible without compromises and to be able to get some extra performance, thanks to the laptop's AMD Dual Graphics technology and future driver updates.
    • Users and/or programmers of OpenCL based applications.

     

    Reviews on other sites

    With an overall rating of 75% at notebookcheck this computer has an above-average rating.

     

    Pros:

    • Extremely high performance for such a low price tag.

    • Features a decent matte fullHD display instead of the more common HD glossy screen we are used to see.

    • Blazing fast SSD storage,unheard of at 550$.
    • Contrary to what most AMD haters will say, this PC is always cool & quiet.

    Contras:

    • Tricky to open the chassis, but you probably won't need it if not to install more storage.
    • No USB 3.1/Thunderbolt 3. Well.. After all, it is just a 550$ PC! You can't expect this expensive technology to be featured in anything less than 1000$.
    • Mediocre battery life. (yes this is really bad and the only real serious issue, even with the display set at ultra-low brightness the battery drains up very quickly!)

     

    Conclusion

    The HP Pavilion 15-aw004ng is a great choice for everyone who wants to enter into the videogamer and multimedia world. For its price of 550$, this is absolutely the best portable gaming platform available at this price point. As a plus, every future driver updates from AMD will make this laptop even more performant, thanks to the newly added crossfire profiles. A very well balanced laptop at a great price just be prepared to use the AC charger very, very often!

    If you live in Europe, you can buy this computer on Amazon.

    Silent and inexpensive, this small 10" 2-in-1 convertible from Acer offers an impressive display that in combination with its integrated Intel HD Graphics GPU makes it a great choice for video streaming and internet browsing. The Acer Aspire Switch One has a relatively huge 8200 mAh, meaning a long battery life in "tablet mode", giving the user a whopping ~10 hours of Netflix/YouTube Streaming. Being an inexpensive cloudbook "Power Users" and "Gamers" will not find this PC interesting at all. The Intel Atom processor is too underpowered for anything but internet and very basic office related stuff.

    Other characteristics

    • Networking; Realtek RTL8723BE Wi-Fi b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 (supports only the older Wi-Fi n standard (54MBPs)

    • Ports: 2xUSB 2.0, HDMI, microSD Card Reader, 3.5mm audio

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 32bit

    • Camera: 2MPx
    • Weight; 1.26kg

     

    Application Performance

    The Intel Atom x5 Z8300 is the slowest quad core CPU of this generation and is barely faster (only in multithreaded workloads) than the dual core Intel Celeron N3050. The Acer Aspire Switch One 10 offers just enough performance to open a browser, basic office spreadsheets and other basic apps.

     

    (Typical) user groups

    The above characteristics make this computer a great choice for:

     

    • The multimedia "Road Warrior" on a budget, with its good speakers & Intel Quicksync Video Encoder/Decoder, this system is great for music and video streaming...

     

    Gaming Benchmarks:

    • Bioshock Infinite: (Unplayable)
    • Battlefield 4: (Unplayable)
    • Rise of the Tomb Raider: (Unplayable)

     

    Reviews on other sites

    With an overall rating of 78% on Notebookcheck.net, this computer has a good rating.

     

    Pros:

    • Bright and high contrast IPS Touchscreen,
    • Silent operation
    • 64GB storage option

    Contras:

    • Bad keyboard dock
    • Lack of USB Type-C
    • Lack of Wi-Fi ac connectivity

     

    Conclusion

    The Acer Aspire Switch One 10 is a great choice if you are looking for a little, silent machine to watch movies on the road.

     

    You can buy it on Amazon.

The touchscreen (IPS) is also good, but slightly darker than average. The killer feature of this PC is, of course, the precise and comfortable to use bundled Active Pen.

    • Ports: 2xUSB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, Audio, Ethernet, SD Card Reader (pretty good selection of ports)

    • Operating system: Windows 10 Home 32bit

    • Weight; 1.2kg

  48. Buy HP 17−x137cl 17.3" Multimedia Notebook PC

    0
    (0)
    0
    (0)

    The HP Pavilion 17x137cl is an interesting solution for an inexpensive desktop replacement with dedicated graphics. Even if not extremely powerful, it lets you play games at low/medium settings, and the performance offered is good thanks to its Intel Core i7-7500U processor. The matte screen is extremely pleasant to use for an inexpensive multimedia system. At just 2.5kg, it also is lightweight for a 17.3" The 2TB hard drive storage is huge, but sadly, maintenance is very difficult so it's almost impossible for the average user to switch to a faster SSD or upgrade it in the future. Like most entry-level consumer notebooks, it lacks keyboard backlight, but features a DVD Drive. Overall, the HP 17 is a good choice for an entry-level multimedia do-it-all notebook.
