Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Review: beautiful blue & budget friendly

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a budget friendly laptop that should handle basic computing needs just fine.

The Dynabook Portégé X30W-M tablet PC convertible has great specs and a light weight.

Today Dynabook announces another new laptop computer; this time an updated Portégé X30W-M tablet PC convertible.
