Dell Inspiron Mini 9

At a featherweight 2 1/4 lbs you won’t get tired carrying this minibook around, no matter where you go. Not to forget that with dimensions like 9″ wide x 6.8″ deep x 1.3″ high, you can just tuck it in a pouch in your case and get on your way. Since the Dell Mini 9 has 802.11g Wi-Fi built-in you can connect to the Internet anywhere you can find a hotspot.

Enough Power

Don’t worry about not having enough power to run applications either. The Dell features Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom processor. While that sounds modest compared to today’s CPUs on high-end laptops, it’s pretty equal to the top of the line model only a few years back.

More than enough Storage Space

There’s ample storage for documents onboard, too. While extremely modest by comparison to the 320GB monsters that became standard nowadays, the 8GB solid-state storage built-in is plenty enough for most people on the go. Remember that 1 GB gives you enough capacity to store up to a thousand spreadsheets of 1 MB. If you want you can also go for the upgrade to a 16GB SSD drive. Up to 32GB SSD if you run Ubuntu Linux.

If you’re afraid that you might reach the limit you can always turn to the SD slot to help out. With some high capacity SD cards offering 16GB or more at very low prices, you won’t run out of space any time soon. Don’t forget with Dell’s Box.Net online file storage feature, you can upload your documents to relive local storage constraints and make a safety back-up.

RAM Capacity

While the Mini 9’s 1GB memory capacity is small compared to the 4GB or more that laptops offer nowadays, even that is plenty enough to run all your applications. Compare that, for example, to what you would have gotten on a desktop PC only a few years ago.

You can run the pre-installed Ubuntu Linux (a stellar operating system) and the entire Open Office application suite with no problem. The CPU is powerful enough to run Writer (like MS Word), Calc (the Excel counterpart), and all the other application that are available for free. If you prefer to stick with MS Windows, you can do that, too. Windows XP runs just fine and you can download and install Microsoft Office over the web.

Extra Slots and Goodies

There are plenty of extra slots and features on the Dell Mini 9. Three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA out port to connect a large monitor (the Mini has a nearly 10 inch screen already), and an Ethernet jack for wired Internet connectivity is standard. It also can be configured for Bluetooth and a 1.3 megapixel Webcam. A 3-in-1 media card reader is built-in as well.

Final Considerations

Don’t make the mistake to expect the speed, capacity, or configurability of the Dell Mini 9 to match the company’s high-end Inspiron full-sized notebooks. But for a netbook that offers much more portability at a way lower price, you won’t feel you’ve sacrificed functionality, either. It’s a solid performer in a remarkable package offering Dell’s well-deserved reputation for reliability.

What the Mac Mini can offer

Apple Mac Mini

Three important benefits of the Mac Mini are that it is compact, lightweight and therefore highly portable. It easily fits into every carrying case at 6.5″ x 6.5″ by 2″ and because of its under 3 lbs weight you won’t even notice it is there. All those specifications make it comparable to the majority of minibooks. It weighs the same as many competitive products and is small, but more cube-like and not of the style of many other netbooks that are flatter.

However, it exceeds the competitor’s products in other ways. It features a 2.0GHz (or 2.26GHz) Intel Core 2 Duo CPU that is not comparable to the Intel Atom running at 1.6GHz that many other netbooks have. The Atom for sure is a nice processor but it simply doesn’t have the features of a Core 2 Duo – there is more to it than just a difference in clock speed frequency.

Exceeding the netbook competition

The Mini also offers is a 1066MHz front side bus speed. What is that about you will ask – it is the circuitry that moves data from memory to CPU and the other way around. This leads to a doubling of FSB speed compared to most other netbooks on the market. This is also true for the hard drive which depending on the configuration is either 120GB or 320GB.

Thanks to the 1GB (or 2GB) DDR3 memory what you can expect is stellar performance (other netbooks feature 512MB to 1GB DDR2). This gets even better if you max out the Mini with 4GB of RAM. This is double to what any other minibooks allow to date. If you add the 3MB on-chip L2 cache (this intermediate storage on the processor is usually 512KB for minibooks) you will really have a high-end hybrid.

Other features of the Mac Mini

Another benefit is that Apple’s outstanding operating system enhances performance even more. It is based on Unix, secure and smoothand shows the same focus on style and ease of use that we expect from an Apple product. You will definitely differentiate yourself from the Windows crowd with the Mac Mini.

No matter where you go – you can use that power everywhere! This is ensured by the Airport Extreme Wi-Fi that is built in. Also, the unit offers Bluetooth 2.1, which is not available for all netbooks and often just as an option.

You will also find a built-in 10/100/1 Gigabit Ethernet connector that will come in handy if you want to go hard wired. Other minibooks usually only supply 10/100Mb. On any of the 5 USB ports available on the Mac Mini you can plug in an optional USB external model or other add-ons that you are interested in.

Not a real netbook, still a great choice

To be honest, there is one trade-off when it comes to the Mac Mini: true portability. Despite the fact that the unit is small and light and provides you with all communication features it has no built-in screen. The graphics still support up to 1920 x 1200 on DVI or VGA, which again surpasses many of the competitors. You need to bring a small LCD flat panel along in your carrying case – only then will you be ready to go!

Summarizing it can be said that the Apple Mac Mini is far superior to many netbooks in many ways. However, it is not a true netbook and therefore won’t satisfy the needs of all people interested in a netbook for example of those who like to take it to school or on a plane trip. You have to plug it into the wall as there is no battery like in laptops. If portability is not the main issue for you but rather power then this small computing platform will be an excellent choice.

A slight drawback

HP 2133 Mini Note

There is however one major drawback, which is the 2133’s slower Via C7-M CPU. Its clock speed is still 1.6GHz, which means that you will not notice much of a difference. However, to tell the truth, the Intel Atom is definitely a better processor in practice.

Anyway, with 2GB RAM included, you will hardly be able to notice or tell the difference. Because of the larger 120GB hard drive and the faster spin of 7,200 rpm the performance of the 2133 is actually better in many applications than that of its younger brothers.

Benefits of the 2133

There are even more advantages and other options to this older model. The HP 2133 Mini-Note is 10.4″ wide by 6.5″ deep and only 1.1″ high. It has a great look and also a solid feel because of its solid, brushed aluminium lid and its magnesium-alloy chassis. There is no need to worry when taking this netbook on the road as it offers you everything you need including USB 2.0 ports, an SD card slot, a mini-FireWire port, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

I am sure you will be pleased with the 2311’s 1280 x 768 resolution and its bright, scratch-resistant 9-inch screen. This is truly outstanding for a netbook monitor. It really reduces eyestrain especially when you use it on longer trips unlike other minibooks.

Using an optional ExpressCard for mobile broadband means that you can take it with you more often. Dragging a standard 8lb laptop around an airport terminal for example can get very tiring. Your arme won’t get tired with this model of under 3lbs.

More advantages of the HP 2133

The HP 2133 will also run Windows Vista Basic without any hitch – not all netbook models do that. Of course it has to be clear that you cannot expect the same great performance you will get of a high-end laptop or even a gaming desktop, but running the same OS like on other machines is still possible with the extra memory and hard drive capacity. This definitely reduces the mental wear and tear normally needed for adapting from one system to the next in different situations.

Another area where the Mini-Notebook outdoes competition is the keyboard. Like its younger brothers the 1010NR and the 1035NR the 2133 offers a standard layout which in size is full 92% of a standard laptop keyboard. You won’t have to adapt your typing style when you switch from a desktop or standard laptop to your netbook. This makes life easier, plus it has a great feel! Furthermore, the trackpad is fully functional, unobtrusive and also easy to use. Some trackpads jump and jerk everytime you are getting near on them, but with the 2133 this problem is eliminated.

I would say that for the HP Mini-Note 2133 “older is better” holds true. So check out the HP 2133 Mini Note!

Find more information on the HP 2133 Mini-Note in an additional review!

Feel free to take a look at the new Mini-Note model of HP, the improved HP 2140 Mini-Note!

Well, yet another in line! The Fujitsu Lifebook M1010 is the ultra portable netbook from the house of Fujitsu. The only thing in (my opinion) this netbook that helps it to give a boost is the extended warranty. The ergonomics are not really interesting enough to give the boost it has really achieved. However, Fujitsu has complete confidence on the robustness of netbook.

Into the details

Fujitsu Lifebook M1010

To be honest, the standalone goodie is the two year warranty of Fujitsu Lifebook M1010 netbook. This is no doubt a welcome feature of a netbook as it is generally a case to be found in a notebook. Apart from this, the quirky feature that I found to be catchy was the clip-on lid that acts as a testament of the emphasis that the netbook makes put on personalization! Well, the company made a move towards adding an option of change to the color and you are free to do that as frequently as you change your socks!!

It also features a transparent lid but can be changed to the color of choice. Fujitsu did a smart thing in allowing us to make a choice of colors!

How will you do that? This is what I found: though the basic color is white, the transparent lid allows you to slot in other colors of your choice. However, take my advice, transparent one is not that bad as you can save a bit of money if you are planning to buy a Fujitsu Lifebook M1010.

Design and looks

I have always seen since my childhood that there is an affair been black and white and the same has once again been reflected in Fujitsu Lifebook M1010. The main chassis is edged in white while the screen bezel, speakers and the side stripes are given a black tone! However, the style is found to resemble that of Toshiba N10. This has undoubtedly given the netbook a crisp and clean look.

An element of wonder

The fact that a lot of open space has been wasted on area just above the keyboard and the speakers has actually put me back from saying a few good things. This is something that I will not call smart engineering. The reason is simple. It could have been used more economically to give a great user experience. For instance, Fujitsu could have gone that extra mile to accommodate a larger keyboard. I could feel the keys on either side while I was busy typing. If you have large fingers, you will be really annoyed! Other than having a cramped keyboard, the keys are also quite noisy. However, they are not very flimsy but nowhere are they close to the HP Mini.

Trackpad is also small. The click buttons are placed on either side of the trackpad and thereby giving it a close look to the Aspire One style. Yet again there is wastage of space which has annoyed me. The buttons are somewhat polygonal in shape and have therefore eaten up unnecessary space.

Watch and click

The screen has a modest resolution of 1024×600 pixels with some good color and sharpness. There is very little flex on the screen. The webcam is a modest 1.3 MP and there is an inbuilt mic. These elements can together be very handy for teleconferencing. With a quite sturdy built and a solid base and a solid hinge, the feeling of robustness is delivered by Fujitsu Lifebook M1010.

Performance and Battery

It has a four celled battery and there is ample room for replacing it with a larger capacity. It is powered by an N270 Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. The machine remains clean even under intensive testing conditions. Under maximum resource usage, the battery lasted for a respectable 2hrs and 27mins. However, it increased to 3hrs and 8mins under light usage conditions.

Additional Praise

Additional it comes with ThinkFree Office mobile which allows synchronizing documents online and then working with them offline. This deserves some respect as hardly enough guys can provide this. It comes bundled with Windows XP as OS and there is a WiFi available. There are two USB connectors and it uses 1.6GHz N270 Atom processor. The screen size is just 8.9” which is exactly what is expected out of a netbook!

Conclusion

In an overall conclusion, I only like to say that Fujitsu Lifebook M1010 could have been better in terms of specifications and optimal space usage. The current configuration seems too less for the associated price tag!

Compaq Mini 110

After using the Compaq mini 110 netbook I thought of preparing a guide for those who are willing to get the new mini netbook. I found that the Compaq mini 110 is the European equivalent to the HP mini 110 netbook which have been released in the US.

To start with I must say the Compaq mini 110 netbook is smaller than any other traditional laptop. It is small and quite easy to carry. The netbook is quite less expensive as well. While using it I found that the focus remains on connectivity which is quite good but it is not so much featured like the laptop which is bad. But I should mention that it is not at all a good option to use as an alternative of a laptop.

Designs and looks

At the first glance the Compaq Mini 110 netbook looks quite attractive. It has a high gloss imprint finish which can be compared to the swirl deign and gives the netbook a classy and stylish look. The length of the netbook is 6.8”, the width is 10.3”, the height is 1.3” and the weight is 2lbs. the screen size is 10.1” which is diagonal and the keyboard is a full size one. Because of its size I found it comfortable to carry it in a back pack, briefcase and a purse.

Technical Details

Apart from the looks the technical features are also very important and I feel I should provide with the details. The Compaq Mini 110 netbook has the features like 1.6GHz N270 Atom, the RAM is of 1GB and the hard disk drive is of 160GB. It includes other features like Wi-Fi (b/g), Wi-Fi and a Webcam.

It has a chipset of Intel 945GSE and the navigation resolution of 1024 x 576 (WSVGA/LED). With its Integrated Intel Media Accelerator 950 Video Card and 128MB Shared Video Memory it enables listening to music or watching videos and movies. The memory speed is DDR2 533. There is no S-Video out but it has HDMI out. The VGA Webcam is inbuilt and it is of 1.3M. It has 5 in 1 in built card reader. The inbuilt wireless devices are of 802.11b/g.

The battery of Compaq Mini 110 netbook is a type of 3-Cell Lithium-Ion and it lasts for 2 hours at a stretch. There is no second battery available in the netbook. 3 USB 2.0 Ports are available in it along with in built Bluetooth module. It has 2 in built speakers and 2 audio Jack Ports.

Functions and Performance

The compact Compaq Mini 110 netbook seems to me very exciting because of its user friendly characteristics. I can’t deny that it has the ultimate connectivity and portability and thus making internet surfing much easy. With its video card features it allows the basic internet functions like email, chatting along with web conferencing and talking over the internet.

The most brilliant performance which I found in the netbook is its ability to wirelessly sync with the PC. This is very useful and it enables the latest updates and files to save in both the places with Syncable software.
I have also mentioned earlier that the key board is stretched 92 percent to the edges and with the spacious placement of the keys it enables comfortable typing for chatting, working and even playing games. The manufacturers have left the touch pad unchanged with mouse buttons on both the side of the touchpad.

While talking about the functions and its performances I feel it is important to let you know that the Compaq mini 110 netbook is welcome with Windows XP only. The Linux SKU is not available to use with this net book. Its audio port functions for both the head phone and the mic. The 3 cell battery net book provides about 2 hours of video play back.

Price

The price of the Compaq mini 110 net book is £ 259.00.

Comments

I personally find the features and the performances quite well going and it is worth keeping as an asset. Though the price is a little bit high, keeping in point its technical characteristic and stylish lineaments I think it is worth paying the price for the Compaq Mini 110.

A netbook is not a laptop

Acer Aspire One

However, what should be clear is that netbooks are not intended to be able to do everything that their big brothers, the regular laptops, can do. Also they won’t be able to perform similar tasks with the same flexibility or speed. This trade-off seems very minor tough if you think of the portability you will gain with a minibook. You will for sure not be disappointed if you just want to perform the regular tasks of laptop users which are surfing the web, writing memos or updating spreadsheets.

Processor and RAM

Those tasks can be performed with the Acer Aspire One in a very robust way because of Intel’s 1.6Ghz Atom processor. It is not the same powerhouse of the company’s Dual-Core monsters as found in the full-scale machines, but still delivers enough speed to perform all the tasks you will usually want to do.

You will have plenty of RAM in order to run word processing software without having to get frustrated. You can easily use Open Office Writer, which is pre-installed on the netbook, and edit 600-page documents without any problem with 512MB. There are even some configurations that have 1GB RAM pre-installed. In case you want to fire up a calculation spreadsheet from this set of productivity tools you will only notice a slightly prolonged loading time than on a standard notebook.

Storage options for netbooks

On the netbooks you will usually also find plenty of storage space for all the documents you want to work on. The 8GB SSD hard drive is quite tiny in comparison to regular laptops, but it will still take a long time to fill up the built in storage space with documents that are usually only a few dozen kilobytes big.

If you reach that limit thee is still a slot for a SD card with which you can solve your problem easily. There are many high capacity SD cards available at very reasonable prices so inserting an extra 16GB is an easy and convenient task. You can simply move your larger files there and are ready again in just a couple of minutes.

There is even another SD slot that you can format in a way to look like an internal hard drive space – even less problems for you. Another thing you can do if you know you will need more space is to acquire the Aspire One with 160GB standard hard drive which is only a little bit more expensive.

Choose between Linux and Windows

This system comes pre-loaded with Linux Lite. Don’t be afraid of that – it is really easy to learn and use. If you think you really can’t get used to any other system than Windows you can simply install Windows XP and use either Open Offe or Microsoft Office on your netbook.

There are some netbooks with which you will have problems watching YouTube videos as they are not running fast enough, but that is not an issue for the Aspire One. Connectivity is no problem because of the wireless 802.11g support. You can use Firefox just like on a normal laptop and go to every website you like to.

Buy a netbook for the right reasons

Again, buying the Acer Aspire One, don’t expect to buy a high-end laptop model – it is not. It’s a netbook which lacks some features of the regular laptops, but has many benefits too. If you have the right expectations you will be amazed by how a 2 lbs and 9.8” x 6.7” x 1.14” model provides you with lightweight and small platform for general computing that works in an excellent way.

Don’t forget to check out our second review of the Acer Aspire One!

Post from: Netbook Laptop Reviews

When it comes to value proposition, multi tasking, mobility and the zeal to conserve energy along with a preference for style and elegance, you will definitely find me leading the bandwagon! Ah! An outright exaggeration of facts! Well, whatever I said can be attached to the new Gateway EC series netbooks! However, one thing that I can assure you is that I hate heavy netbooks and the new Gateway EC series probably knows that.

Gateway EC Series

Definitely light weight (500 grams or 1 lbs whatever you prefer), the new stylish and elegant EC series netbooks from the house of Gateway has a thickness just below 1 inch and embeds a smooth design that I appreciate a lot. The best part of the nettop is that, it is loaded with advanced power management features. I will take you through the features of the nettop but with a caution that you may inevitably fall in love with this masterpiece.

Features

Graphics and screen:

The new Gateway EC series is loaded with advanced power management features and extends the battery life up to 40%. The netbook has a graphic activation switch, which can be used for deactivating the discreet graphics card, which is supported by the chipset used.

There is a power save button, which allows saving power by switching between the ATI graphics chipset and the integrated chipset, which is slower than its counterpart. Yet another power saving feature that is bundled with the Gateway EC series netbook is the 13 inch LED screen that provides 16:9 aspect ratio. The size of the screen ensures that it is not a hindrance to ultra mobility and at the same time makes it comfortable for use with an external monitor. Sharp and vivid images are a feature of the led backlit display!

HDD:

Gateway’s EC series comes with a 500GB Solid State Drive, which is different than the conventional HDDs. It does not have any mechanical parts and it is lighter and smaller than the conventional hard drives. This is power saving feature that consumes less powers and is a step towards energy conservation, which helps in improving the life of the battery by 10%. The presence of an exclusive cooling system optimizes the thermal efficiency of the netbook.

Power saver mode and CPU:

The Gateway EC series netbook is compliant with Energy Star 5.0 and is capable of providing power efficiency in Sleep Mode. This is actually used for saving energy when the machine is in Standby Mode or is performing a number of tasks. The claim of eco-friendliness is fortified by the use of ultra low voltage Intel CPU. Therefore, there is a lot to save your expenditure on energy consumption. All these features together ensure that the battery life is increased by 40% and that the battery gives a runtime of 8hours! That is incredibly high.

Design and feel

The Gateway EC series netbook has an elegant and attractive slim look, which makes a bold statement with dark silver and black color cover and has a palm rest of brushed aluminum, which highlights the frame and the black matte keyboard. With soft surfaces and smooth curves, the Gateway EC series netbook is an example of sheer elegance and beauty.

Touchpad and Sound

The touchpad of Gateway’s EC series netbook has a brilliant multi touch functionality that helps in intuitive and easy access to a number of applications. As far as the sound is concerned, the netbook also offers state-of-the-art listening experience with its Dolby® Sound Room.

More Features

The EC series comes with an HDMI out port, which is capable of transferring high-definition data to another display. Well, I really enjoyed watching a movie on my LCD television by transferring the data! The netbook is known for supporting DDR3 RAM and is equipped with an internal webcam. It also has an option for 3G and Bluetooth functions. It also has capacitive hotkeys, which are place on top of the keyboard.

Conclusion

The Gateway EC series netbook is a perfect blend of beauty and functionality making it an outstanding performer in terms of portability and multitasking capability.

There’s only one way to describe the Samsung Pebble N310 - and that’s as a truly small screen netbook. The ‘Pebble’ is a companion to the older model Samsung N310, but whereas most netbooks will have a 10 or 12 inch screen the Pebble carries a tiny 8.9 inch one - making it one of the ultimate mini-netbooks.

On the outside of a Pebble

Samsung mini-netbook - the Pebble N310.

Looks can be everything when it comes to carrying and using your netbook out and about in public, so no one wants to be seen walking around with a lump of plastic. Well, the fact that the screen is only 8.9 inch across will immediately make the ‘Pebble’ stand out from its competitors - simply be being so relatively tiny. This means you’re carrying around a shell that’s just 10.31 inch long, 7.26 inch wide and only 1.1″ deep; considerably smaller than other netbook shells and at a weight of just 2.2 pound - it is easily the lightest in its category. Don’t worry if you think the keyboard will be reduced in size as the Pebble’s keyboard fits neatly into the customized shell with its rounded corners.

What’s on-board?

A question you’ll want answering before committing to buy a Samsung Pebble N310 is what sort of specification does it have? OK, so you know it’s got an 8.9 inch screen, but that little screen delivers a 1024×600 pixel screen resolution. Windows 7 Starter is on-board powered by an Intel Atom processor, with 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard-disk. There’s no DVD or Blu-Ray., but with 3 USB ports there’s plenty of capacity to add one. Webcam, WiFi, Card Reader and Bluetooth are all standard too. As for the battery life, Samsung claim up to 9 hours, but the reality is more like 4 hours.

The last few days have seen a real buzz on the technology blogs about the $35 tablet computer that has been developed in India for the education market. The picture below shows the Indian government minister responsible for its development, Kapil Sibal, holding one of these devices - but will it make any impact on netbooks and internet access in the west?

What do you get for $35?

A tablet netbook for $35!

Two questions occur to me

Am I alone in thinking about the following two questions? First, when netbooks were first mooted in the west back in the mid-2000s, wasn’t the whole idea that they would be aimed primarily at the education sector: easy to use and fully functional - they are, easy to transport - they are, suitable for kids to use at school - they are. So why do they cost so much in the west? I distinctly recall estimated prices to be less than $200 - these days you’d be lucky to get a pre-owned one for that! The second question follows on from the first. India is clearly basing the price on Indian component prices and labor, fair enough. So why does Apple charge $500+ for iPads and Dell etc the same and more for netbooks made in China or other Asian countries? I think we know the honest answer here - it’s all that marvelous design value that goes into them. Something we all heartily agree with - not!

Post from: Netbook Laptop Reviews

If you’re looking to buy a new netbook then of vital importance is buying one with a stable and effective operating system, built to meet the needs of your computing requirements. Not forgetting that you also want an operating system that can be easily upgraded - the decision is virtually made for you in that you really should consider Windows 7.

Windows 7 on netbooks

Having chosen to buy a netbook you’re not just someone looking for ‘on the go’ computing, something you’d be better off looking for in a fully spec’d laptop, but are more likely to be after a lightweight machine that is really at its best when working in a ‘cloud computing‘ mode or at very least when using the internet to find all your favorite things. OK, so we all know the stories about Windows being built for desktop and power laptops - so surely it will be far too over-burdening for the sort of processor and memory you’re likely to find in an ultra thin netbook? Wrong! The reason for that is that MS, realizing the market growth in netbooks and the potential sales to be had for their operating system, have developed a version of Windows 7 specifically to meet the demands of netbooks, namely - Windows 7 Starter. Quite simply - Windows 7 Starter hits all the buttons you’d expect from an MS operating system, without compromising on speed or performance.

What you’ll get

Windows 7 Starter incorporates touch-screen technology.

So, what’s really of advantage to using Windows 7 Starter for a netbook user? Absolutely vital news if you’re spending a lot of time online on your netbook is the beefed up security features in Windows 7 Starter. There’s the inevitable protection against viruses and spyware, but this now includes added identity theft protection and, should you want to allow other users to use it there’s controls to limit both online time and web access. Windows Media Center is a virtual TV Star, keeping all of your favorite videos organized and acting as a DVR if you decide to use a TV tuner. Sticking on the multi-media front Windows Live Photo Gallery will quickly download and let you edit photos for a digital camera as well as any Photo software, so they’re almost immediately ready to upload to share over the internet in things like Facebook. However, if you’ve got a touch-screen netbook, Windows 7 Touch Pack lets you use the netbook just like it was an iPad.
