HP Pavilion g6z

The HP Pavilion g6z starts at a wallet friendly $429.99 on HP.com and comes with an AMD Fusion processor that is geared towards being power and battery life friendly yet still offering ample performance for everyday tasks. The HP g6z we have under review comes with the base level AMD A4-3305M processor. It’s a pre-built configuration with model number g6-1d60us and was purchased from Staples.com for $380 during a sale event. For around $400 the g6z has a lot to like, though isn’t perfect of course, we’ll cover the ups and downs in this review.

Asus Zenbook UX21E





The Asus Zenbook UX21E is a shiny example of the modern 11in ultraportable notebook.

Do you believe in love at first sight? That’s the question Asus poses in its marketing for theZenbook, an ultraportable very much in the mold that Intel promotes as ultrabook.
Which in turn means this is a Windows clone of the Apple MacBook Air. We’re starting to see plenty of these tributes now, yet the Asus Zenbook is simply the best so far.
That’s not because of any innovation here, mind. The similarity to the award-winning 11in MacBook Air is uncanny, from the all-metal high-grade clamshell construction, to the essentially identical dimensions in each direction, to the same battery capacity, same processor and same screen sizes and resolution.
The Asus Zenbook is available in two sizes, with a 11.6in or 13.3in display – although Asus' version of the latter is smaller than Apple's 13in, as it uses a narrower 16:9 aspect ratio display in place of the Air's 16:10 ratio.
