The Best NoteBook

Tom Yagerof InfoWorld is all praises for the new 15″ MacBook Pro. Well almost all praises. There are some minor flaws in an otherwise great notebook.


The 15-inch MacBook Pro is the best of the tier-one commercial notebooks, full stop. My two complaints — that the SD card sticks out of its slot and the USB ports remain too close together — are overshadowed by the new display, seven-hour battery, faster CPU, and the fact that there is an SD card slot. There are cheaper notebooks, but I’d challenge you to find one that’s faster, quieter, and better built than MacBook Pro.



I have personally been using the first gen of the 15″ Unibody MacBook Pros and apart from the battery life I’m quite happy with it. It’s truly one of the best built laptops I’ve owned. With the new models, my battery complaints have most likely been answered.

I honestly think that the MacBook Pro is quite possibly the best notebook around, be it PC or Mac. Sure there are faster, more powerful notebooks. Alienware comes to mind but non as refined and well rounded as the MacBook Pro. It simply looks and performs well.

Notebook Portable Flat-Folding Bbq


Picture the scene. It's the height of summer, or what passes for summer. You're off to the park with your chums. You've just had a big night out and you've got the serious 'munchies', as we believe it's called. You now have a choice. Run off down to the Co-op for a few tubes of Pringles... or run off down to the Co-op for a few chicken drumsticks, sausages, veggie skewers and massive fat burgers. At Gadgetshop HQ, we know which sounds infinitely more appealing, which is why we searched high and low for this intriguing little contraption.

It's a compact, folding barbecue that's designed to be taken anywhere. Here's how it works: 1. Fold it out. 2. Fill it up. 3. Light it up. And that's it. No complex gas bottles, no heavy lifting and no rummaging around B&Q for those 'instant' types that you can use once and once only.

Now the spirit of summer can join you wherever you are, or even sit permanently in the boot of your car, ready for action whenever the mood takes you. Fully collapsing to just a few inches thick, it's ultra-light and ultra-portable yet robust and sturdy wherever you choose to put it. Just plonk it down, light it up and you're a twisted firestarter, as my nephew likes to put it.

Specification

  • Dimensions: Height: 30.0cm Width: 46.0cm Depth: 30.0cm
  • Weight: 4.0Kg
