Rock Pegasus 330 Notebook review

Did you know Rock make some of the worlds fastest laptops right here in the UK. Well they do. In fact we like their notebooks so much, we featured their all powerful FX60 Rock Xtreme laptop in our Top Five Buyers Guide laptops. Their range of laptops make Desktop PC's look OAP by combining the fastest processors, DDR2 memory and top of the range Nvidia and ATI graphics chipsets. We're still hoping they will send us one for a proper test featuring the UC Babes, so send them loads of emails saying you want to see their notebooks reviewed at MaXit with the girls!

In the meantime, have a look at Trusted Reviews labs test of the Rock Pegasus 330 notebook.

"Inside there is an Intel Core Duo T2400, which operates at 1.83GHz. At the moment, this particularly processor offers the best value for money - so a good choice on Rock’s part. There is also 1GB of DDR2 memory, made up of two 512MB Corsair 4-4-4-12 modules. Being configured like this means performance should be a little better as it is running in dual-channel, but this makes upgrading difficult. If you want 2GB, you should specify this in the configurator and pay a little extra at the beginning."

Samsung Q35 - Ultra-Portable Notebook

Trusted Reviews take a look at the Samsung Q35 Ultra Portable notebook for road warriors on the go.

"When I reviewed the Samsung Q30 back in January 2005 I decided that it was a great ultra-portable notebook, but the lack of PC Card slot concerned me. Plus, the fact that the Q30 doesn't have an optical drive is a definite issue these days, with machines like the Sony VAIO TX2XP sporting a DVD writer while remaining feather light and wafer thin. I was therefore very pleased when the Samsung Q35 landed on my desk and addressed both those issues."
