Hello everyone,
I would like to apologize for my bad English. I would ask someone who was so kind and who could check my essay. I have to compare three laptops. I'm not sure with some phrases. I would be very grateful to you.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
Here is the text:


I chose for this comparison very different laptops. The first laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad S100, the second is Sony VAIO CA3S1E/W and the third is HP EliteBook 8760w. Lenovo is the smallest and the lightest of them. It is built with a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display with 1024 x 600 pixels screen resolution. This notebook is ideal for travelling. Sony notebook is larger and it has also higher resolution than Lenovo. The width of the screen is 14 inches. HP notebook has the widest screen. The width of the screen is 17.3 inches and the highest resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels.
When I compared the prices, I found much differences. The cheapest is Lenovo laptop. It costs around five thousand. This price is rather reasonable for students or for unpretentious users. Sony VAIO is more expensive than the previous and it costs around 16 thousand. The most expensive is laptop HP EliteBook. It costs over 70 thousand.
HP EliteBook is the most powerfull. There is quad core processor Intel Core i7 2670QM with frequency 2,2 GHz, 6MB cache memory and eight threads. The system memory has the capacity 8GB and in this laptop is build-in high-powered graphic card NVIDIA Quadro 4000M with self memory with capacity two GB. This notebook can be used as mobile workstation and it is ideal for demanding graphical applications. In this laptop is also built-in high-capacity hard disk with capacity 750 GB and it is equipped with operating system Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
The notebook Sony VAIO is equipped two-core processor Intel Core i3 2330M with frequency 2,2GHz and 3MB cache memory. Clearly performance of these processors are significantly different. If I have added to compare the third notebook, I will find much greater differences. Lenovo laptop contains standard two-core processor Intel Atom N570 with much lower frequency 1,66GHz and 1MB L2 cache. This performance of Atom processor is enough for common applications. The system memory of these laptops is also different. The capacity of Lenovo's memory is only 1GB and compared to Sony VAIO it is much lower. Sony VAIO contains higher capacity of system memory – 4GB. Lenovo laptop has not so much large capacity as Sony VAIO. There is included 320GB hard disk which is less than hard drive, which includes Sony Vaio.
If I could choose one of them, I would choose Sony VAIO. It is my clear Choice. Why? I like it. One of things is good performance, nice design, which is not so important, but ... :) I prefer smaller size of notebook, because it is ideal for carrying and I think that 14-inch screen is rather good compromise between 15.4-inch display and 10.1-inch display. The laptop has build-in also webcam, SD card reader, as well powerful graphic card etc. I think the price is corresponding to the performance.

1) The verb is "to think", not "to thing"
2) Read back through your piece and look carefully at your use (or your non-use) of articles. There are at least three articles missing just in the first paragraph.

See above. As you can see, when I actually went through it properly, I found far more than three missing. Use what I have posted there to look at the rest of your piece.

See above. Please let me know if you don't understand why I've made any of these amendments.

Wow, I'm surprised. I didn't know my English is so poor. Now, if I see it, all is clear. My the biggest problem is my natural language. There is completely different structure of sentences. I hesitated if I could say "notebook has" so I made sentences with "is" like "is built-in". I thank you very very very much for correcting. You helped me. Once more thanks!
