Laptops are a great invention. Not only do you have the convenience of using your computer anywhere you may need it, be it on a plane or in a small café, but you also get the added convenience of being able to carry it with you with a virtually weightless ease. Women are especially appreciative of laptops, simply because they are slim and sleek and most will just about fit inside a handbag sized case. Given those statements, there are a few laptops that, although they probably were not designed specifically for women, they really seem as if they were.
The X2 StyleBook and the Tulip E-Go certainly come to mind when determining the best laptops for women. Both are designed more along the lines of fashion accessories, as opposed to computers. Their beauty and style are highly favored among women professionals, however, their computing technology rank among the very best as far as laptops go.
The StyleBook weighs only 3.9 pounds, and is available in pastel green, blue, pink, white, metallic black, and silver. Each of the colors also has an available matching bag to carry the StyleBook in that is made of your choice of leather, suede, micro fiber, or faux crocodile skin. The StyleBook is definitely one of those creations that seems as if it were made for women.
Another great choice for women is the Sony Vaio VGN-T350. This little beauty is stylish and sleek and weighs in at only 3.1 pounds, which makes it great for carrying everywhere.
All these choices are wonderful for women, due to the color choices of each and the virtually weightless carrying. The matching bags simply add to the attraction. For professional women everywhere, a big thanks to the makers of the “women” laptops. With beautiful colors and fabulous matching bags and accessories, it is wonderful to know that women can find a highly functional laptop, and one that lends to the fashion and design that we all try to present. These make it much easier to show our feminine side, with beautifully designed and stylish laptops geared for women, that still do the job of the larger computers that our men use.

Dell 6400 Latitude
have been DELL Latitude fans since i work in DELL early 2004. My first test out was DELL Latitude D600, the following DELL notebook was DELL Latitude D800 and DELL Latitude D620. You may wonder why DELL specifically Latitude
I can give you some reasons:
- The price: it's not too expensive, it's slightly higher than getting a DELL Vostro or DELL Studio. Normally my machine cost is about RM4K - 6K (USD 1.3K - 1.8K)
- The outlook: it's always have cool looking (I'm mention DELL Latitude series, not Inspiron or Vostro). It looks quite elegant with this price.
- The performance: it perform very well, i heavyly use my notebook for programming (.NET, MSSQL, C++), debugging and etc. It still can meet my requirement. My battery can last for 4 hours without charging. This is important for me when meeting customer in cafe and etc.
- The warranty services: this is what i love most but it depend on your warranty that you purchase. I've my next business day warranty service. I call it today, the next day i'll get the warranty parts and the engineer with come to change the part for you without any further questions. Remember to get your warranty service whenever you purchase your notebook. It's important.
Dell has specified more concentration to the approach of the new-fangled variants and the E6400 has more personality than its precursor. The preliminary thought on picking up the E6400 is that it not presently feels rock-hard but is rock-solid. Dell has not picked for the admired cram shape and the breadth is almost unvarying. The paint finish is neither lusterless nor shiny finish but somewhere in stuck between. The display flipside has a brushed metal finish to append a little style.
Performance
Deciding on the arrangement is fraction of the fun with trading a Dell. I determined the P8600 was at the right summit of the performance-value curve. I'm not into 3D games so I favored the lower power utilization of the Intel GPU. The LED backlit WXGA+ display was a must while the backlit keyboard will most likely appear handy when I'm working somewhere where there's a power cut. The 160GB HDD was the most excellent alternative on Dell's capability/presentation/value curve (I've by now got a 320GB HDD which I'll budge over). 1GB RAM seemed the most excellent pricing choice since I could get 2GB in a different place for the cost of Dell's 1GB upgrade. I opted for the Express Card slot in view of the fact that I could, if required; get an adaptor to be capable to utilize my old PC cards. I required a

Dell XPS M1530 laptop
Dell XPS M1530, the laptop between 13.3"XPS M1330 business laptop and 17" XPS M1730 professional laptop is coming on November 7th 2007.According to engadget, this Dell laptop will be based on Intel Santa Rosa platform that come with Intel PM965 chipset with discrete Nvidia GeForce 8400M or 8600M GS or Intel GM965 chipset and integrated GMA X3100 and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN.It will be powered by one of Intel Core 2 Duo processor from 1.5GHz (T5250) to 2.6GHz (T7800), up to 4GB of RAM and a Blu-Ray optical drive option.There is no information about the option of Core 2 Extreme CPUs like X7800 or X7900.
The good part is that you have open hand to choose a standard CCFL backlight with resolution up to 1680X1050 or LED backlighting resolution up to 1440X900-pixel.
This laptop is fabulous when the matter of Network connectivity comes. It arranges all the options of connecting wireless devices include 802.11a/b/g/n, WWAN, and Bluetooth technology. Also there is Ethernet LAN, but the availability of modem is not clear.
Dell XPS M1530 features HDMI output, a VGA output, three USB ports, a FireWire port, and a media card reader and an Express Card slot. Unfortunately, the amount of USB ports in this mainstream laptop will be one less (3 USB ports) than the typical mainstream laptops (4 USB ports).
The XPS M1530 will cater a web camera and a fingerprint reader for security.
Amazingly, engadget has said that the weight will start at 4 lbs! I have never seen any 15.4" laptop can have such a light weight.
So, the highlight features of XPS M1530 are:
- High performance with Core 2 Due T7800 (2.6GHz, 4MB L2, 800 MHz) CPU
- Discrete Nvidia GeForce 8400M or 8600M GS

Dell Outlet sells Dell Mini 12 at reduced price
Dell Mini 09 vs Dell Mini 12
Dell's anticipated Inspiron Mini 12: the little netbook with the big 12 inch screen goes on sale mid-November for $999
Is it going to be Macbook vs. Mini?
The 12 inch screen officially makes this the world’s biggest netbook, but the word ‘big’ just doesn’t seem to suit the Inspiron Mini 12. Even when you know the stats – that the profile tapers from 24mm to 21mm, and when fitted with the three cell battery the netbook weighs in at 1.24kg – you can’t appreciate its sylph-like proportions until you hold this this featherweight flybook in your hand.
The Mini 12 shares the same design DNA as the Mini 9. The rounded lid sports an identical glossy black coating (a white version will also be available) which is prone to fingerprints. Underneath the hood, the black keyboard is offset with a smooth silver palm rest and screen bezel.
Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Specs:
- Dimensions: 11.8 x 9.0 x 1.1 inches
- Weight: 3.2 pounds
- Processor: Intel Atom Z530 clocked at 1.6 GHz
- RAM: 1 GB DDR2 RAM
- Hard Drive: 60 GB HDD, 4200 RPM
- Display: 12 inch LCD, 1280 x 800 pixels
- Integrated Graphics: Intel GMA 500, 64 MB VRAM
- Wireless: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/g
- Operating System: MS Windows Vista Basic SP 1
- Ports: 3 USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet, VGA out, Headphone, Microphone, 3 in 1 card reader
Features
The Dell Mini's 12-inch screen runs at a native resolution of 1,280x800, and is driven by Intel's integrated GMA 500 graphics chipset. The guts of the machine consist of an Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor — which is actually slower than the one on the Mini 9 — a gigabyte of RAM and an 80GB PATA drive (not solid state). It's also quite light at 1.24 kilograms.
We were impressed by the amount of connectivity options made available on the Dell, which outdo a lot of full-size notebooks at this price. On the left-hand side of the device you'll find a VGA out, two USB ports and a Kensington lock port. Switching to the other side you'll find a third USB — an excellent provision for a budget portable — Ethernet, a mic and headphone jack, and finally an SD/MMC reader.
Being a budget component, it's not designed to be user accessible — which means you can't upgrade the HDD or RAM. At least not easily.
Conclusion
If it weren't for its tendency to tip over, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 would be a decent netbook. The device is further shackled by the inclusion of a slower Atom processor than its predecessor, and Vista Basic. Its retail price of AU$999 also puts it into the realm of full-sized laptops, which while a lot heavier will also have more features and faster processors. Unless you really need the screen real estate and the bigger hard drive we'd plump for the Mini 9 instead.
