The Latitude E4200 is a stunning machine. Beside pink, it is also available in blue and brushed metal black. Being a business laptop, it's expected that most company will opt for black color, but for young professional ladies, or individualistic executives that fancy something a little more eye-catching, the pink Latitude E4200 is really a great choice. It has an angular & functional appearance with rich finish that will make an immediate and positive impression on any clients you visit, which is surely one of the aims of a modern day business laptop.


The specification for E4200 is as follows:

• 12.1" Premium, UltraSharp WXGA (1280 x 800) LED Display

Now, let's take a look at a few reviews done on this laptop and see what the pros have to say about it:

1. Video review from Shinyshiny.tv



2. PC Pro (rating given: 4 out of 6)

"So we have mixed feelings about the Latitude E4200. It looks fantastic and it's incredibly light, and the flexibility offered by the tiny power supply and five-hour-plus battery life will give it real appeal to mobile professionals. The screen, however, is a disappointment, and coupled with a high price means we hold off from a wholehearted recommendation." Read full review

3. Trusted Review (rating given: 9 out of 10)

"So long as you don't need an optical drive, the E4200 is an ideal option for the serious businessperson on the move." Read full review

4. ZDNet Asia (rating given: 7.6 out of 10)

"This is a nicely put-together ultraportable that, with the extended battery, performs well in most areas except graphics. However, its lack of an optical drive could be a drawback, as could the paucity of USB ports. Mobile broadband is a boon, but we're surprised by the lack of an integrated webcam on a system aimed at mobile professionals." Read full review

Conclusion: The biggest drawback for the Latitude E4200 is the lack of integrated optical drive and webcam. And this is apparently the sacrifices that Dell has to make in exchange to the small-size and portability for this laptop. Also, PC Pro seems to be disappointed with the color accuracy and viewing angles for this laptop. Other than that, with its long battery life, small-size, and light-weight, the Latitude E4200 is a fantastic laptop for its portability and flexibility.

Reviews for Qosmio X305-Q725 Laptop
Here are a few reviews done on Qosmio X305-Q725 Gaming Laptop:

1. Review by Laptop Magazine (rating given: 4 out of 5)

"Dropping $2,699 on a gaming machine is no laughing matter, but the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 is one seriously powerful gaming rig with superb sound. Its audio punch alone nearly puts this machine in its own class. However, the Alienware M17 provides more graphics oomph for $700 less, even though it lacks quad-core power. Still, the Qosmio X305-Q725 is an excellent multimedia and gaming notebook with plenty of style and substance." Read

2. Review by PC Mag (rating given: 3.5 out of 5)

"The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 has the fierce performance to go with the look, integrating one of the first Intel mobile quad-core processors and the most powerful Nvidia graphics card to date. Nonetheless, the Alienware M17 outperformed the X305 in a variety of gaming tests, at different resolutions and at a lower cost, which makes the M17 still the gaming laptop to beat." Read

3. Review by NotebookReview.com (No rating given)

"The Toshiba Qosmio X305 gaming notebook proved to be very capable in our testing but its steep price does raise a few eyebrows now that notebooks like the Gateway P-7811 FX are on the market for a fraction of the price. The overall size of the X305 also comes into play when you realize it is almost twice as thick as other gaming notebooks (even thicker than the dual-screen Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds). If you can get past the price and size it does offer the best sound system I have heard on a notebook and dual graphics card support on certain configurations. Build quality could be improved in some areas but it held up well in our testing ... if not for a few plastic squeaks and pops. If you have the backpack or shoulders to carry around this gaming rig then you should check out the Qosmio X305-Q725." Read

There isn't much pink gaming laptop out there. If you are looking for a pink laptop with descent processing power for gaming purpose, you should check out the Qosmio X305-Q725.

Pink Laptop Accessories: Novelty USB 2.0 Pink Revolving Hub

Check out the Novelty 4 Port USB 2.0 Pink Revolving Hub.. it's a perfect match for any pink laptops.

"Versatile, portable USB hub in your favorite color - pink. The lightweight novelty USB hub is a great companion for laptop users with its travel-friendly design, plug-and-play convenience, and high-speed USB 2.0 transfer rates. One of the ports can rotate up to 90 degrees. This allows users to not only expand one USB port into four ports, but also accommodate and organize oversized USB plugs and manage USB cables coming from different directions."

Due to space limit, most netbooks / laptops have their USB ports placed closely together, which causes some devices such as flash drives can't be plugged in with other devices due to space conflicts. This is when a USB hub comes in handy. And for pink laptop users, this Pink Revolving USB Hub from Novelty would be a great companion!

A user has posted his feedback for the Sony VAIO SR laptop on notebookreview as following:

"I am satisfied with the purchase I’ve made and I do recommend the Sony Vaio SR for anyone who wants a small, lightweight laptop that runs very cool, feels good, looks nice, and isn’t a Dell or a Macbook. It has enough power to replace a desktop computer (pretty much most can) and once attached with a nice 24” screen, can serve as a good workstation and entertainment center. You can also do some non-DX10 gaming with relative ease and play most games available for the PC market without your laptop becoming a space heater. One would be hard-pressed to find another 13.3” as refined or balanced as the SR."

The full review is available on Notebookreview.com.

3. Toshiba Portege A600 - A 12.1-inch ultraportable laptops from Toshiba which is available in Lotus pink color. With a starting price of $1299, the Portege A600 comes with the following specs:

4. Apple MacBook Pro - It's not available in pink. We decided to put it in our list as there are multiple ways that we can turn a Macbook into pink, and it's the thinnest and lightest desktop replacement yet combines great graphics performance with a stunning display and very long battery life. The specs for the 17-inch MacBook Pro is as follows:

• 2.66-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
• 4GB RAM, expandable to 8GB
• 320GB/5,400 rpm HDD
• 8X DVD±RW DL Optical Drive
• Mac OS X Leopard

With a starting price of $2,799 (for 17-inch Macbook Pro), it might not be suitable for average consumer, but if you are a professional or power user who like to enjoy beautiful & durable design, gorgeous edge-to-edge glass display, multitouch trackpad, and long battery life, this thinnest and lightest 17-inch notebook is for you.

5. Pink Netbook - And finally, if you are looking for a pink laptop, and performance isn't your first priority, buy a netbook. We have made a list of best pink netbook just like this in our previous post. The greatest benefit of buying a netbook instead of a full-featured laptop is that it has a much lower price, and the smaller size that provide users with great portability.

That's all we have for the list. There are certainly more pink laptops available out there. What we have picked to be listed here is base on reviews rating and end users feedback that we have seen on the net. We might add more to this list of best pink laptop as we discover more!
