The Lenovo ThinkPad X220T includes all the goodies of the standard laptop in the similar model, but adds a swivel monitor that lays flat against the keyboard. The touchscreen surface works with your finger and the included digitizer pen. Like all Thinkpad’s the X220T has an unexciting, black matte industrial look, which makes it perfect for the formalist of office environments.

Another tablet-laptop hybrid, the EliteBook 2760p offers a lot of versatility for a variety of business tasks. The 12.1-inch screen swivels flat for a keyboard free experience but when typing is a necessity, it quickly converts back into laptop mode.

Max hard drive on these models is 320 GB, which will store plenty of relatively small size office documents and files.

I don’t want a high speed CPU. 1.6 GHz is enough and screen size should be 11" to 12". It also should consist a DVD drive and 2 or 3 USB ports. My budget is 40,000 INR (Indian Rupees). Any suggestion is welcome.

I have an HP laptop but the pos is messing up so much that Hp even fixing it made it worse. Now I work at KFC so my relative income is very low. I’m looking for a cheap laptop that would great for a gamer. My price range is anything from $100 to close to $400. I saw alienware but that is way out of my reach until I get my career. Thanks.

I have a 1 TB Seagate FreeAgent Go Flex Portable Hard drive which I use on a daily basis. I noticed that when on the hard drive gets hot (not very hot just normal). I want to know how to cool it down a bit, down to ‘warm’ because my friend told me that constant heat is the bane of all hard drives and keeping them slightly cooler helps extend their life. So how do I go about ‘Cooling’ my Go Flex?? which is the best way to do it without having to buy an extra fan? my friend keeps his on a damp cloth is that ok? thank you.
p.s. I currently keep mine on the table top where my pc is. n earlier it was on top of the cpu cabinet (I found that oddly lowers the temp of the hard drive slightly, is it coz of the cool metal cabinet slapping the heat?)
no, dont keep it on a damp cloth, thats even worse, moisture and electronics is not a good idea!
keep the HDD as far from the laptops vents as possible, new HDD dont produce that much heat, the enclosure will be enough to keep it at a cool operating tempurature.
the best thing to do to reduce heat being created is to keep the drive defragmented

and use the seagate drive settings software to power down the drive when not in use

LG Intuition 4G Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) Hands on Review
To Subscribe Our Channel Please Click Below Link: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=pastimers
The LG Optimus Vu, the Intuition differs from its international counterpart in two major ways: the U.S. version ships natively with the more recent Android 4.0, and it lacks the throwback TV antenna that the Vu had. It does, however, retain the same ginormous 5-inch screen, Rubberdium stylus, and 8-megapixel camera.
The 4G LTE device is available to Verizon customers for $200 after contract.
Editors’ note: Because they are the same device, sections of this review have been lifted from our review of the LG Optimus Vu.
Design
At 5.5 inches tall, 3.56 inches wide, 0.33 inch thick, and weighing 6.08 ounces, the LG Intuition is huge for a smartphone. But for its size, it’s quite lightweight and slender in the hand. Though it does fit in my palm, most of the time I needed two hands to operate it. For example, dialing the number pad while holding it with one hand and using my thumb was nearly impossible. In fact, I dropped the handset a couple of times while trying to make a call.
You can fit the device in a front or back pocket, but it won’t be comfortable at all. I found that about 2 inches of the Intuition would remain above the seam, and it felt bulky when I was carrying it around. Also, speaking with it pinned between my face and shoulder weighed down pretty heavily.
On top are a 3.5mm headphone jack, a shortcut key called QuickClip for QuickMemo (more on that in a while), a Micro-USB port that can be covered with a slick little sliding door, and a sleep/power button. To the right is a volume rocker.
The plastic back is textured with a grainy design. Though I’m sure this material keeps the phone light, it gives it a cheap sort of feel, and it’s definitely less luxurious-feeling than the Note. On its left corner is an LED-flash-supported 8-megapixel camera. To the right is a covered slot for Verizon’s 4G LTE card. Below that are two small slits for the output speaker. Unlike other devices, it doesn’t have a slot for prying the back off with your fingernail. Instead, two screws at the bottom keep the back plate secure.
The handset sports a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,024×768 pixels. Though it’s not as great as the LG Optimus 4X HD’s, the Gorilla Glass screen is still very impressive. Menu icons were crisp and images were vibrant and richly saturated. A few default wallpapers, however, looked a bit grainy. Because it has 650 nits of brightness, videos played vividly. The viewing angle is wide, even while outdoors in the sun, which is usual for IPS displays.
The display also worked great with the stylus or what LG calls the “Rubberdium” pen (don’t ask me why). Though I like the fact that it feels sturdy like a real pen, it’s inconvenient that there’s no slot within the handset for storage. While using the stylus, I noticed that the screen was sensitive when tapping on apps and pulling down menus. It picked up strokes fairly quickly when it came to writing, though I did notice a very slight drag when writing as quickly as possible. Note, however, that LG’s Rubberdium pen does not have the same pressure-sensitive functions as the Samsung’s S Pen.
One odd thing about the screen is that it has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which LG claims is the most “common aspect ratio for print materials in real life.” The company also says it makes browsing the Web more comfortable, which I found to be true. I also appreciated the extra real estate when browsing through news and e-commerce sites. For other content, the Intuition automatically optimizes third-party apps to fit the ratio. Sometimes it worked — when I played Temple Run it looked fine on the bigger display — but other times it didn’t. In order to retain video ratio, YouTube clips played with a lot of letterboxing space. If an app doesn’t render correctly, you can enable “aspect ratio correction” when you hold down the home button. This will change the display setting of the app to make it slimmer.
Features
The phone runs on a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. Again, it doesn’t hold a candle to the 4X HD’s quad-core processor. There is some short, but noticeable lag time for switching from landscape to portrait mode and opening up the camera, but other simple undertakings like swiping through its seven home screen pages and opening apps were done quite snappily. Games launched and closed without a problem and transitioning back to home was a breeze.
