If you prefer to world leaders, then among the best manufacturers are usually called HP, Asus and Acer, which owns the lion's share of the market of portable devices, it is not surprising if someone wants to buy an Acer notebook based solely on ratings. Also in the top ten laptops were Dell, Lenovo and Sony VAIO.

By what criteria to choose

In fact, ratings are important, though, it's better to build a selection based on certain parameters. Most manufacturers are trying to cater to all categories of customers, producing business models, game series, multimedia laptops, and versatile device for all occasions.

As for the laptop to work, they meet three main criteria: performance, compactness and mobility, which implies a small size and weight, and high autonomy (ie the period of the battery). More about this how to buy a laptop.

Other important features that should have a business notebook are:

  • High-contrast display with 13.3 inch or so, which would not limit you to view when working with documents. If the work involves a demonstration or view videos of presentations or videos, you better buy some 17-inch laptop , but it will affect the weight and mobility, not for the better;
  • Full-size keyboard with soft keys, which would allow to work without tiring hands;
  • The presence of CD / DVD-drive;
  • A wide range of options for connecting various devices (ports USB, LAN, VGA-out, SD-slot, Bluetooth and others);
  • Wireless connections to work in any place where there is access (Wi-Fi, 3G);
  • At least 3-4 GB of RAM;
  • Hard Drive 320 GB or more;
  • Processor Intel Core i5 or similar, which supports the processing time of four or more tasks with dynamic power control, depending on the load. If you have a lot of time working with different applications, continually switching between them, it is best to choose Core i7.

To help you decide which one to choose a laptop, you should pay attention to a series of ThinkPad Edge, Dell Vostro series or Sony VAIO S.

CES 2012: Tablet Lenovo and other Android-news

Lenovo products on the Tablet market has not been widely represent

ed. But the company is clearly trying to produce innovative solutions that can move it forward. At CES 2012 was seen several of these.

To present a truly unique product that can outshine even "unattainable» iPad, but at least something from Samsung, Lenovo has not yet succeeded. But the company is trying, and obviously not going to give up what we see on those shown at CES 2012 solutions.

Lenovo IdeaTab S2 caused a feeling of deja vu. Just open the review ASUS Transformer Prime, to determine the causes of such feelings. However, it is unlikely ASUS will be sued for copying the design (hello, Apple!) - Devices still differ, and are similar only in the idea.

Lenovo IdeaPad S2
Lenovo IdeaPad S2

So, IdeaTab S2 - a 10-inch tablet based on Android 4.0, which comes with a keyboard, a dock, where there are additional connectors and battery.

Specs do not differ from the actual counterparts - for example, a brand new 28 nm dual-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon, clocked at 1.5 GHz. The thickness of the shell plate is only 8.7 mm, and weight - 580 grams. All this is quite good, but some of our competitors have gradually master the quad "open spaces".

Of the other characteristics can be identified using IPS-matrix for the 10-inch screen resolution of 1280x800. Also nothing special, as is the case with one gigabyte of RAM. The volume of solid-state disk does not exceed the value of 64 GB. Also promise to plug microHDMI, 5.0 and 1.3-megapixel rear camera and front, respectively. Well, Doc, apart from additional 9:00 of autonomy, would provide the owner of the tablet a couple of ports, USB, card reader for full-size cards SD, keyboard and touchpad.

Much more interesting is the tablet Lenovo LePad K2010 (or IdeaTab K2). In size it is almost the same - 10.1 inch display, although the device has a frame slightly wider than the S2. More importantly - a screen resolution of 1920x1200 pixels. Matrix type - IPS. With similar products made only as long as Acer (IconiaTab A700), so that Lenovo in the forefront.

As the processor uses a brand new quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3, clocked at 1.3 or 1.6 GHz (depending on the modification of the tablet.) Throw in 2GB of RAM, and Android 4.0 and obtain one of the most advanced devices on the market. The only pity is that so far he «China only» - exclusive to Asia.

Lenovo LePad S2005

For a more mainstream Lenovo already made the plates showed LePad S2005, S2007 and S2010. First, we recall, something like the acclaimed 5.3-inch smartphone (or tablet yet?) Samsung Galaxy Note. S2005 is worth almost as much, but clearly more modest performance. Thus, the screen resolution at this "lepada" only 800x480 at 5 inches diagonally against a 1280x800 Note. Throw in Android 2.3.5, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, gigabytes of RAM, and you get interesting, but slightly overpriced model.

Lenovo S2007 and S2010 are the most ordinary tablets based on Android 3.2. The first is equipped with a 7-inch screen, while the second - a 10-inch. Both resolution of 1280x800 pixels, matrix type - IPS. Qualcomm dual-core processor 1.5 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a pair of cameras are also included.

The smartphone market in general, while Lenovo bypasses. It is not surprising - without relevant experience do they have nothing. Example HP to excellent confirmation. But the novelty company still presented. This time she managed without the series and just called the phone S2.

S2 - pretty nice tube with a rounded upper end and a 3.8-inch WVGA-screen. It features a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255. It is expected that the new product will be available in two versions: the first - with 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of flash memory, while the second option would double these values. In addition to standard microUSB connector and 3.5 mm audiodzheka present microHDMI. Rear camera has a good resolution of 8 MP. While that is installed on a smartphone Android 2.3, but updated to version 4.0 is also planned.

And at the end of a few words about another Android-devayse shown Lenovo at CES 2012 - TV IdeaTV K91. Novelty is declared as the world's first TV with Android 4.0. Inside it hides a 1.5GHz dual-core chip Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of flash memory. In general, the usual smartphone or tablet, with only a 55-inch non-touch screen. In addition, the TV set displayed a card reader SD, 100 Mbit / s port Ethernet, HDMI, connectors USB, at the same time there is a built Wi-Fi controller. IdeaTV is something of a "smart TV", which today sell Samsung, LG, Philips and other manufacturers. Lenovo so far in this market is not seen, but the way she said it chose not bad - Android still active in this field does not apply.

Who is the world’s largest suppliers of PCs?

Worldwide PC shipments are ready for the third quarter rose by 11%, experts have estimated market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). This is about 3% lower than expected.

Reluctance of consumers to part with their blood spilled in an unusually modest season "back to school", is traditionally marked by bold spending on new computers that are vital to pupils and students for learning games and access to all sorts of interesting information in the Global Network.

Strongest decrease in demand has affected sales of laptops and notebooks. Who said the word "tablet"?

We emphasize this is not about decreasing sales over the previous quarter and an increase, but not on such a buoyant, as it was some time ago.

Saved the situation flowing through normal schedule modernization of the corporate park ready PC. Particularly successful was the final month of the quarter, which, incidentally, confirm and motherboard manufacturers, justifying the earlier call by the forecast .

With regard to the distribution of seats in the top three suppliers of ready-made PCs, it looks like this: HP, Acer, Dell. In this case, all the listed companies for the year passed the position. The share of HP was 17.6%, whereas a year ago, it was equal to 19,6%. Acer now has a 13.0% a year ago was 13,5%. Dell instead of 12,6% is now owned 12,4% of the market. Blame these manufacturers should, Lenovo and ASUS, which could increase their annual share from 8,6% to 10,3% and 4,5% to 5,3%. Slightly moved up the company Toshiba - from 5,0% to 5,3%. All other companies combined (which includes numerous smaller vendors, including Apple), just like last year, provide 36.2% of global supplies.
