Consumer Reports Best Laptop

When it comes to the public reaction it is a bit hard to tell what is true and what is a fairy-tale. Based on a bit of research I’ve done over the internet, I think I’ve managed to find two systems that are truly among those with a “five-star” rating in the top left corner.


Last year, the 12.1 inch MSI mini laptop such as Acer BTP-APJ1, Acer BTP-AQJ1, Acer BTP-ARJ1, Acer BATCL32, Acer BATCL32L, Aspire 2000, Aspire 2016, Aspire 2200, Acer BATBL50L6, Asus Laptop Battery and Asus A42-A3, Wind U230 (or U230 MSI Wind12 as is known), kept appearing and disappearing from all sites and even from online stores or official pages of MSI. Now it seems to have returned and is already being offered for sale on Amazon, with a price of 480 dollars in two color options (white or black).


Hoping that we aren’t talking about another “ghost”, let’s move quickly through the technical specifications of MSI Wind12 U230, one of the laptops that got the best customer reports. The first thing that it’s worth taking into consideration is the L335 AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. This system also has the option for a MV-40 Neo Athlon processor for the more “gaming” customers.


This mini laptop is equipped with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, 2 GB RAM (supports up to 4 GB) of RAM memory and a generous 250 GB ( hard drive ) for storage. It also comes equipped with an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connection, there is an option for Bluetooth, and Windows 7 Home Premium as an operating system.


Its glossy 12.1 inch display has a recommended resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Wind12 U230 has an integrated 1.3 MP webcam, HDMI plug, VGA port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 card reader (SD / MMC / MS / XD) and a 6 cell battery that provides an autonomy just a bit over 4 hours. It measures 18.8 cm x 29.7 cm x 2.4-3.1 cm and weighs 1.45 kg with a 6 cell battery. It weights 1.3 kg with 3 cell battery.


Last month, Acer launched its first notebook with 3D display, the Acer 5738DG is dedicated to hardcore gamers, and to all those interested in advanced graphics, photography and design. Although a 3D display is quite demanding, often requiring a certain angle from which the image will describe everything clearly, it indeed provides a very interesting visual experience. In addition, it appears that 3D Layer works quite well even without special glasses. Its 3D display makes this laptop rather unique and, without any doubt one of the best rated laptops by its customers.


The specifications include a display of15.6 inch (39.6 cm) and a TriDef 3D display, 1366 x 768 pixels with 3D effect.
