Notebooks

Whatever type of notebook you prefer, Mobility Radeon has a solution! If you have begun to look for a notebook, the first thing you'll realize is that there are a lot of different types of designs, for specific user requirements. To decide which type best suits your needs, perhaps the best thing you can do is first define what your needs will be. For example, do you travel a lot as part of your work? Then perhaps weight and battery life are the most important criteria. Do you want to use a notebook for all your computing needs instead of using a desktop PC as well? Then you may want the fastest processor and graphics on the market, with the largest screen and hard drive available.
Below is a list of some of the more popular types of notebooks to better help you in your purchase decision. Whatever your notebook requirements may be, you'll find that there is Mobility Radeon solution for that type of system!

"Desktop Replacement"
Weight: 8-9lbs
Screen Size: 15"
Spindles*: 3
Graphics: Mobility Radeon w/ 16/32MB
Desktop Replacement (also known as "Portable Workstation" or "Desktop Alternative") Systems are designed to provide you with the power and functionality you'd find in a desktop PC. These systems usually come with a rich set of features: super fast processors, large hard drives, large screens, and of course the latest graphics processor with a large display frame buffer for maximum performance and the ultimate visual experience. Select a notebook with Mobility Radeon for the fastest 3D performance and unparalleled video and DVD quality.

"Thin & Light"
Weight: 4-5.5lbs
Screen Size: 14-15"
Spindles: 2
Graphics: Mobility Radeon w/ 8/16MB
Thin & Light notebooks are one of the fastest growing segments on the market. While the main strength of this design is obviously the weight and overall slim design of the system, the majority of these systems come with an excellent set of features targeted at the mainstream business user.
These systems provide a good balance between portability, display size and quality, battery life and overall performance.
Look for a notebook with Mobility Radeon - and you will benefit from the amazing combination of display quality, performance and low power consumption (i.e. longer battery life!)

"Ultraportable"
Weight: 2.5-4lbs
Screen Size: 12-13"
Spindles: 1
Graphics: Mobility Radeon w/ 8MB
Ultraportable designs are another fast-growing segment enabled by availability of low power devices (example: Mobility Radeon!) and wireless technologies. The challenge to pack the most recent technology and a rich feature set in such a small and light environment is not a simple one...
The obvious strength of ultraportables is the focus on low weight and long battery life. Make sure your Ultraportable notebook is equipped with Mobility Radeon so you can enjoy from the most advanced 3D applications, amazing DVD and Video quality - all in a small compact package, running standard PC Operating Systems.

"Value"
Weight: 6-8lbs
Screen Size: 13"
Spindles: 2-3
Graphics: Mobility Radeon w/ 8MB
Some of us are on a limited budget...If your primary decision criteria is price, this class of "Value" notebooks is for you. These notebooks can vary in size and weight, and usually come with hardware aimed at the average user who doesn't require the best performance or longest battery life. Go for a notebook with Mobility Radeon, and you will not compromise your visual experience.
