Unlike a desktop computer system where the display is purchased separately from the computer, a laptop PC has the display built into the computer. Because of this, it is important to understand how the size of a laptop might impact the size of the display on the computer. Other things such as resolution, aspect ratio and the graphics processor all impact how the laptop display will function. If you happen to be looking for a new portable computer, be sure to check out my guide to help explain how all these things fit together for selecting the proper laptop.

Lenovo has made some very affordable and well made all-in-one desktops systems. Their latest model, the IdeaCentre A300, offers a very different design that is very compact and quite stylish.

It might have only just become Spring, but Nokia has announced the Ovi apps that will help you get set for the summer
Whilst Britain is basking in glorious Spring sunshine, Nokia has decided to announce six Ovi applications it feels are some of the best for the (hopefully) sunny summer.
First up is the Maldives Travel Guide, a fairly self-explanatory app. Built in are holiday deals, photos, the weather, attractions, living abroad, hotels and even some shopping help thrown on.
Then there is the Debenhams Free app, which lets you order products directly from the app and have them delivered right to your door. To make shopping easy, you can see full product details, images from a variety of angles and, usefully, product reviews and ratings.
Eventseekr Free basically keeps you up to date with events coming up, so you won’t miss your chance to get your groove on. That is, assuming you managed to get Glastonbury tickets.
When travelling abroad it can be difficult to remember all your login details for banking, passport number, license number etc, especially with other things to worry about. Smart Store, available for £3.00, aims to lighten the burden on your memory with its detail-memorising skills, all of which are stored safely.
The last two applications, Holiday Counter and Beaches News Free, are slightly less useful but it can be quite fun to know exactly how long before you are ‘enjoying’ yourself in the airport as you are herded onto a plane – if you part with £1. And if you plan on spending time on a beach, you may as well get the latest news delivered to your phone.
March 22, 2011, may well see the launch of the Amazon Appstore, a new mobile service looking to compete with Google’s Android Market
The release date of the Amazon Appstore, the online retailer’s answer and competition for Google’s Android Market, could be late March.
If Wired’s “trusted source” is correct, the Amazon service, which was accidentally revealed recently, will go live on March 22, 2011.
According to the same source, the Amazon Appstore will let users purchase apps online or from their mobiles, and unlike the Android Market, developers won’t be able to release any old thing. A curated market will govern what apps make it to sale.
Considering a recent bout of malware on the Android OS – around 260,000 devices were infected – having some moderation and guarantee applications are what they say they are will be a positive for many consumers.
The applications can be accessed and downloaded via the Amazon website or through an Amazon application.
Any apps with in-app purchasing enabled must have links directed to the Amazon Appstore rather than Android Market.
One of the app highlights of the Amazon Appstore is Angry Birds Rio, a new movie-themed version of Rovio Mobile’s popular bird-slinging game. Amazon has managed to secure exclusivity on Android according to Wired, though, for how long we are unsure.
It all sounds positive for the Amazon Appstore, and considering some developers have been unimpressed with Google’s offering, we’re sure it will take off. It’s just a pain consumers have yet another place to look for their applications fix, when Windows Phone 7 and Apple sensibly has just the one.
Speculation has ensued that Amazon may be launching the Appstore in preparation for its Android-based tablets, although we’re not sure whether Amazon will enter the tablet space.
ViewSonic is probably best known for their monitor products but they have also started producing some computer systems as well.
