Laptop choiche

Alright here is the deal. We know its pretty easy to loose your laptop at the airport and since 70+% are never found it just goes to show it would be nice to have the magic of GPS on your side when finding a lost or stolen laptop.

Well Skyhook has come up with the solution. If youve been keeping up today with the iPhone you might have remembered this name but anyways the company uses WiFi (yes you read right) to locate yoru computer in the event that it is lost or stolen.

In the iPhone Skyhook uses towers to triangulate your aproximate position. Well in laptops it uses WiFi so basically who ever stole your computer will have a hard time finding out how you were able to beat the crap out of them when they thought they were safe.

Oh and did I mention that you its only $50. Sorry Mac users this ones Windows only for now.

Notebooks arent normally known for their gaming novelties, but if you don’t posses the room for a full-size PC and still desire to do the odd bit of replicated action, then the MSI GX700-204UK may well be competent to gratify your implicit aspiration for around £900.

Design
When you 1st get it out of the box, the black lustrous casing appears great. Regrettably, it rapidly becomes flecked with slimy finger marks. If you like to keep your equipment flaunting its best, youll have to get practiced to giving this notebook a wipe down every time and over. Apart fro the rest of the unit just looks good enough to be tagged style attitude.

Performance
The GX700 isnt a fabulous cheap notebook, but if youre searching for a desktop replacement notebook coupled together with both a vast screen and enough horsepower to play games, you could without doubt spend twice as much. Rather, its a bargain. It stocks one of Intels latest T8300 Core 2 Duo processors, sprinting around at 2.4GHz, and comes loaded to a certain extent generous 3GB of DDR2 RAM. As a consequence, it managed a tremendously high PCMark05 score of 5,580, which is more or less unheard of for an appliance with a price tag sub-£1,000.
Its no slump when it comes to betting either, thanks to its NVIDIA Geforce 8600M GT MXM graphics accelerator chip, it could be an enormously high-quality deal for gamers with small-minded pockets. The processor and graphics chip may be the standout items, but its not bad when you consider its other components. The 250GB hard drive may be small compared to some other machines, but in reality, its more than enough for the casual user.

The 17-inch screen offers a huge running area, but it merely stretches to a declaration of 1,680x1, 050 pixels, which is dumpy of the 1,920x 1, 080 pixels that is mandatory to show 1080p high classification content with no downscaling. Theres also no High definition port or even optical drive incorporated, with just a DVD drive on offer the accessory looks old. It administered to keep departing for just 1 hour 15 minutes in a row during the intensive Battery Eater test which means you will do frequent trips to the power socket.

Overall
MSI has fashioned an enormously proficient machine with the GX700 principally when you mull over its low price tag. It cant take full benefit of HD content, but in the presentation and gaming stakes its more than competent. Battery life is deprived, but not as worse as compared few other notebook replacement.

Pros
+ Amazing value for money
+ Decent gamer for its price
+ 250 GB is a cool storage space
+ 3GB of Ram is even smarter

Cons
- Battery not the best, but just manages to stay away from the worst.
- Display not the best for HD videos.
- No ports for HD
- No connectivity option for optical drive.
