A Look Ahead: Google Chrome, Acer Aspire, Asus

Every year we see a surge in new devices and technological advances, the year coming will be no different. Consumers are always looking for sleeker and faster laptops. This past year showed us the netbook. A smaller, more portable version of a laptop with just as much memory, but was it really functional with its 10” screen? The price was not much cheaper than the laptop, but teenagers seem to love it more than adults. 2011 will see a resurgence of laptop notebooks that will bring the speed and memory we desire in a light weight sleeker design.

The Google Chrome OS Cr-48 Notebook is in the testing phase. This laptop is similar to the Apple Macbook, but it is a little bit heavier than is expected. The clickpad is set up differently than the usual laptop set up. A one finger tap will be recognized as a left click, whereas a two finger tap is recognized as a right click. The scroll is activated with two fingers. There are no function keys or Caps Lock keys. There is only one USB port on the side, no either net port, so you will have to surf the net with a Wi-Fi connection only. It does have Cloud capabilities so you will never have to worry about losing the important documents. The Google notebook is in the very early stages of its development.

The Acer Aspire AS7741Z-4643 is an inexpensive laptop. It has a 17-inch screen, which is a bigger screen than most laptops come with. This laptop boasts a 3GB memory with 250GB hard drive all while operating the Windows 7 Home Premium edition. It weighs in between 6.4 and 7.2 pounds and could function as a desktop replacement model. The key board features island style keys with tight hinges and a sturdy frame. The clickpad is larger than most laptops. You have an option to use a mouse and turn the clickpad off. This laptop is priced below $500.

The Asus N53SV Notebook is perfect for the gamers. IT has 8192MB and a 500GB Hard Drive with a 14 inch screen. This case has a smudge proof coating, which keeps it clean looking. This laptop has plenty of ports for your use and even a blue ray disc drive. There is an Ethernet adapter, a wireless network adapter, and even a Bluetooth connection. The keyboard is crammed, but there is a number keypad, which can be useful when you are attempting to enter information into spreadsheets. The clickpad is submerged, so you can easily distinguish it from the rest of the surface area. This laptop has a better sound quality than you will have on most Asus laptops. The battery life is almost 4 1/2hours in idle mode, 2 hours and 40 minutes when you are surfing, and 2 hours and 20 minutes when you are watching a DVD. Overall, this is a good laptop for the price tag.

This coming year will show us more technology for less money. The more value the consumer can get for less money the more likely the consumer will purchase the product. Some of the new laptops coming out will show us better connectivity with more ports and a longer battery life for everyday use. Consumers are always looking for a longer battery life, better connectivity, faster speed, a larger screen, and a lighter, more portable weight. The easier a laptop is to carry around the more likely the consumer will take it everywhere. The more ports available on the sides of the laptop, the more likely a consumer will purchase it.

Buying A Laptop For Your Teenager

Typically for a teenager, an important and useful accessory to have is a laptop. Not an outdated one, or one that is too bulky, or one that doesn’t have enough power. Laptops for teenagers are sometimes difficult to decide on. Teenagers usually want the latest technology, the flashiest and most attractive laptop, and the one that has the most features and the most processor power.

However, there is a way to satisfy a teen looking for a laptop and one who doesn’t want to blow their budget. First off, small laptops are a great option for teenagers. Usually, teenagers have to carry around a lot of books and such for school, so a more compact laptop would be a great idea. Small laptops for sale can save a lot of money, and can easily be found online. Laptops that are small can also come in the form of netbooks, or tablets, such as the iPad. I actually have an iPad, and it is a perfect size for a teenager, for taking notes and web browsing, but doesn’t take up too much space and weigh too much. iPads only cost around $500 to $900, and are very trendy. They are also new and upcoming, so a teenager may like them a lot more than they would a regular laptop.

Laptops for sale online can also include the popular netbook, the Triple E PC, which is only a few hundred dollars, and has the capability for web browsing and small document like functions. It doesn’t have a large memory or processor, but for a first laptop it is suitable for a teenager. Compact laptops can be considered smaller than the average 15 inch laptop. So, with that being said, if a teenager doesn’t want his or her laptop too terribly small, an HP NC2400 notebook is great. It is only around $500, the same price as an iPad, and it also has a 12.1 inch screen. It has a decent hard drive capacity and a decent sized processor as well.

When looking for a laptop for a teenager, such as their first laptop, it is important to note that their primary use will be for school, and web browsing. Unless they have some dire need for a lot of power in a laptop, it is good to get the basics and not spend too much on something being flashy and high-tech. Laptops for sale online usually can get you the best deal as well. There are lots of big sales on laptops if you take time to fine them. Many sites offer free shipping, and that can save you gas on a trip to the store if you don’t mind looking online. Teenagers can be very hard to please, so if you’re shopping for your teenager, make sure to let them see what you’re looking at too. Let them know you have a budget, and to make sure that you both stick with it.

If a teenager tends to be rough with their belongings, such as dropping a cell phone or slamming books around, a Lenovo laptop would be best. Many people have said it is built like a rock, they are very sturdy and stable. Even if the style isn’t up to date, for the price, durability and features are a great value. However, smaller laptops tend to be best for teenagers as they will also be carrying around books and notebooks, and slamming their bag down on the ground and on their school desks. Also, with a smaller laptop, one can carry it around easier, and avoid keeping it in a bag where it can be easily damaged. Portability is a major issue when looking for a laptop for a teenager.

As mentioned before, teenagers like to have fresh, new technology, so a huge outdated laptop is not the best idea. In conclusion, when shopping for a laptop for a teenager, it is important to remember, compactness, price, features and power. Do a laptop comparison to find the best fit for your teen. pay attention to gaming laptop reviews as it’s safe to sa your teen will be using their laptop for some sort of gaming activities. But most of all to remember that too many features and accessories are not necessary because it will not really be used for intense purposes.
