// Many people have contacted me and asked about pink laptops under $500, so I thought we’d do a little overview of which companies offer them, and what you can get for under $500. First out is Dell, who do have quite a few in that price range, and on a few, you’re even able [...]
// I like things that can multi-task, and when I was shopping around for a new laptop bag recently, I decided I wanted one with a unique look that could double as a tote or shoulder bag as well, match as many outfits as possible, and not be so much an obvious laptop bag. I [...]
// Dell recently announced the release of their latest laptop series: the Inspiron R. This new take on the Inspiron laptops comes in three sizes (14″, 15″ and 17″) and four colors (“Tomato Red”, “Mars Black”, “Peacock Blue” and “Lotus Pink”). However, only the 14R and 15R are offered in pink (for $40 extra) and [...]
// The hot pink “ripple effect” Eee 1008P from Asus, designed by Karim Rashid, is definitely a laptop that stands out. Karim Rashid is a very colorful designer with a huge and impressive portfolio. He has designed for industry giants such as Veuve Clicquot, Audi, Prada, Swarovski, Method etc. and now also for Asus. (He [...]
If you want to upgrade or replace your laptop hard drive, you want to make sure you get one that’s the best fit for your particular laptop, and if you’re not a pro at these sorts of things, make sure you know all the facts before investing in a new hard drive and start taking [...]
// Sony has done it again – created a super cute, limited edition pink laptop. I know I’ve kvetched about the difficulty finding pink laptops on Sony’s site, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy their good looks. The Signature collection for spring consists mostly of pretty restrained colors: silver, rain white, carbon fiber and [...]
You’re sitting at your favorite table in your local café, working away on your laptop, when suddenly, it starts acting weird and making strange noises. You decide to reboot, but nothing happens. You try again and again, but your laptop is completely dead. What do you do now? Is there a way to recover all [...]
// Sooner or later, space starts getting tight on any computer, but there is an easy, affordable fix: external harddrives. They’re great for backups too – I personally store all my photos and other large files on several external harddrives, and also have them all backed up on a separate one, which I keep off [...]
// There is an ever increasing number of pink laptops available on the market, but surprisingly few pink gaming laptops. Apparently, the manufacturers think that the color pink doesn’t go with gaming. Apart from adding a skin or customization, you have only a few options to choose from. First – What should you look for [...]
// Those of us who spend the majority of our time working on a laptop eventually start developing aches and pains from repetitive motions and sitting in the wrong position for too long (and too often). But using ergonomic furniture and computer accessories can help enormously. As always, prevention is the best medicine – make [...]
// Remember when a computer took up an entire room at the office? Even if you don’t, I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures. Both desktops and laptops certainly have come a long way in just a few decades, and still seem to be shrinking every year (for even smaller laptops, check out our “Mini Laptop [...]
// While some may consider pink a spring and summer color, I think it’s fabulous year round. I personally tend to choose either richer (almost purple, brown or burgundy) or more subtle shades of pink in the fall, and the great thing about laptop bags is that they are inexpensive enough (many of them anyway) [...]
// Dell’s latest netbooks, the Mini 10 and Mini 10v, were released in July of 2009. These cute little laptops come in 7 colors (Black, White, Pink, Red, Ice Blue, Jade Green and Purple) and as usual, when you buy one of their pink laptops, Dell donates $5.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. [...]
// A mini laptop (also known as a subnotebook or netbook) has a 10.2″ or smaller screen size, weigh less than 4 lbs and is usually priced somewhere in the $200-$400 range. These lightweight mini laptops are obviously much easier than their larger siblings to take along just about anywhere, but they’re not for everyone. [...]
// Unless you’ve been using a particular computer for a while and know that that is exactly what you want for your next one as well, deciding on a brand, size, or even whether to go with a PC or Mac is not easy. Maybe you’ve been working exclusively on a desktop and are wondering [...]
// Sony’s designs rarely disappoint. Their laptops are almost always sleek and stylish, and their new limited edition crocodile pink VAIO CS from their Signature Collection is certainly no exception. With it’s classic pink faux croc exterior (with gold trim) and shiny pink interior, it really stands out, and I can’t help but like its [...]
// Are you thinking of getting a new pink laptop this fall? If so, the timing is great. There are several new products on the market (read our overview of Dell’s Studio 14z and keep checking back for reviews of other laptops – they’re in the works), and special deals abound (Dell, Sony and Toshiba [...]
// Dell’s Studio 14z is their lightest and most slim Studio laptop to date, measuring 13.23 x 0.79 x 9.02″ and weighing in at 4.30 lbs. It comes in 6 colors, Promise Pink is one of them, and as always, Dell donates $5 of the sale price of their pink laptops to Susan G. Komen [...]
// As a follow-up to my Dell Inspiron Mini post, I thought we’d take a look at how Acer’s Aspire One compares to Dell’s Mini 9. I’m comparing it to the least expensive, basic configuration of the Mini, since that is the model most similar to the Aspire One. The Aspire One is available in [...]
// Don’t get me wrong, I love Sony’s laptops – the designs are really slick and they always come with a bunch of extras – but I have to say I find their website quite tricky to navigate (to say the least) if you’re trying to find out what’s available in pink. I recently spent [...]
