Macbook has a nice design with a lot of great features, but is still an expensive laptop and not all the programs and the applications work on it. We know that comes with state-of-the-art technology, great battery life, multi-touch trackpad and nice uniboby closure, but if you want to try a MacBook competitor, you should try HP TouchSmart.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

In our opinion this is the best MacBook competitor because is looks better than MacBoook and it has a lower starting price at $899.99. HP TouchSmart is more than just a simple laptop because it is also a tablet PC. The laptop lets you twist the screen, so you can write on it with a digital pen and comes with exclusive TouchSmart software that lets you interact in a better way with it.

This laptop, even if has a display of only 12.1 – inch, is loaded with great features like the fact that is runs on Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium and it comes with a sophisticated and nice aluminum chassis. The display comes with integrated touch screen feature which makes it easy to draw or write. This is a laptop designed for mobility and it is very easy to use: you can navigate with your fingers on the screen, you can control objects, make selections and scroll web pages which means that the screen supports finger gestures. With this nice feature you can play touch games and you can also experience other web applications like Netflix and Twitter in a better way.

If you like this laptop, you should know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to graphics, memory, processor and hard drive. As we said above, the lowest price for this laptop is S899.99 which means that it is less than MacBook that has a starting price of $999.99. The best processor you can choose is an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz and 512 MB ATI Mobility Radeon Graphics. The processor is not as powerful as the processors you find available for MacBook, but if we thing about the price this is good enough. You can choose the internal memory between 3GB DDR3, 4GB DDR3 and 8GB DDR3 and you can also choose the storage capacity from 320 GB and 500 GB. The laptop comes with a built-in camera, Bluetooth and wireless technology.

The battery life for this laptop is up to 9.75 hours, we didn’t test it, but this is the time that the manufacturer says. We don’t know if this is true, but we do know that a MacBook doesn’t run 7 hours on a single charge if you do the basic stuff like chatting, web browsing or just typing. This is in our opinion the best MacBook competitor and if you don’t share it, please tell us because there could be a lot of other great laptops on the market which can compete with MacBook.

Apple iPhone is a very useful smart-phone that comes with a lot of great features like: music player, built-in camera, e-mail, Wi-Fi connectivity, web browsing, caller ID, games, calendar and a lot of other features and applications. But today we are not going to talk about Apple iPhone advantages and we are going to talk about disadvantages of Apple iPhone.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The first disadvantage is, of course, AT&T and the two-year contract you have to sign if you want to purchase an Apple iPhone from them. And this is not all when we talk about AT&T, because we can’t leave behind the interruptions in service and the limits on the coverage. Many of you were put in the situation when they wanted to make a very important call, but the lack of signal made it impossible to dial. This is just wrong and very annoying.

The next disadvantage is the fact that Apple iPhone only supports a SIM that has been activated for that specific mobile phone, which means that if one of your friends runs out of battery on his iPhone, you cannot borrow him your iPhone to make a call with his SIM card because it won’t work with your iPhone.

The fact that you can’t upgrade the phone’s memory is also a disadvantage. You have the memory that Apple wants you to have and that is all. We are not saying that the memory provides by Apple iPhone is not enough for most of us, but it would be great to have the possibility to upgrade the memory. A great advantage could have been the possibility to add a memory card to upgrade the memory.

Many Apple iPhone users are unhappy, and so are we, with the fact that the Apple iPhone battery cannot be changed and the fact that it is sealed. And this is not all when you are talking about the iPhone battery because many users say that the battery life of the phone is short and when they are using the 3G feature the battery life is quite poor.

iPhone 3GS has a 3 – mega pixel camera, but many of you have Apple iPhone 3G which has a 2 – mega pixel camera. These cameras are not decent for a phone, but if we make a comparison between iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, the camera is a big plus for iPhone 3GS because is comes with video recording, autofocus and the 3 mega pixels make better photos than the 2 – mega pixels.

A huge disadvantage with all Apple mobile devices, including iPhone, is the fact that they don’t allow users to transfer data and information from the PC to the device through a USB cable without using applications like iPhoto and iTunes. This is very disappointing, because all iPhone users spend a lot of time importing songs and data into their device.
