Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail)

Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail)

Netbooks, Dell has always been of peasant, their strength has been a beautiful design and many variants of optional enhancements, but the ergonomics and battery life, frankly, disappointing. The new processor Intel Atom N450 corrected one of the disadvantages, netbook, Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (Pine Trail) running on batteries the whole 9 hours. Among the other advantages of this netbook can be noted an attractive design, multiple color options for the shell, the hard drive, 250 GB, Windows 7 Starter Edition and all at a reasonable price. But there will be a new Dell Inspiron Mini 10 competition netbooks on the market leaders, companies Acer, ASUS, and Toshiba?

Appearance at the Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail) a nice, rounded shape, textured surface of the casing around the keyboard, and the side he even reminds potolstevshy laptop Dell Adamo . Cover netbook glossy, but we were lucky, got to test netbook with lid in white, the remaining fingerprints were hardly noticeable. Also available Dell Mini 1910 netbook (Pine Trail) black, blue, green, pink, purple and red. In the Dell online store is 229 versions of entire drawings for the cover netbook, but for trendy design will have to pay $ 85.

Cooling System Dell Mini 10 is not working very well, after 15 minutes of playing full-screen video corpus rather strongly warmed, to work with such a netbook on the knees not the best option. Touchpad warmed to 35 degrees, the middle of the keyboard 37.8 degrees and the lower side of the shell and does has reached 42.2 degrees. Specify that for a netbook, these temperatures are not terrible.

The keyboard in the new Dell Mini 10 is better than its predecessor, but it is still far from the convenience of the best keyboards on netbooks. Touchpad in the netbook great, but inconvenient, because it combined with the mouse buttons. We do not know why this was done, the easier single mouse, divided into left and right, but Dell went his own way ...

Dell Mini Screen 10 (Pine Trail) standard for most netbooks size and resolution - 10.1-inch 1024 × 600 pixels, the picture is bright, good horizontal viewing angles, the vertical bit worse. In general, a good display, the average level.

On the left side netbook are two port USB, VGA, card reader and format 3 in 1. On the right side we see the connector for the network card, another USB port and headphone and microphone. No HDMI output, although it is possible to purchase an option on netbook video accelerator Broadcom HD. The question arises, why buy it if you still are unable to bring HD video on the big screen.

At the top of the screen, like all netbooks, struts 1.3 megapixel webcam, the key phrase here "like all", the camera is no worse and no better than the other netbooks.

In the test PCMark05 netbook Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail) scored 1,326 items that 150 basis points below the mean values. Productivity Dell Mini 10 is the same level as that of the Acer Aspire One 532h and 85 points worse than the ASUS Eee PC 1005PE .

Download Windows 7 operating system Starter Edition took 1 minute 20 seconds, more than 20 seconds, worse than average. This poor result can be attributed to the antivirus installed on the netbook and additional software Dell.

Traditionally, netbooks on the platform Intel Pine Trail perform poorly in tests of video card was no exception, and Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (Pine Trail), typing in the 3DMark06 test, all 157 points. But that did not stop without any problems to look at netbook 720p HD in full screen mode.

As we wrote at the beginning of this review, battery life at the Dell Mini 10 above all praise, in the mode of surfing on the Internet using Wi-Fi, netbook could hold 9 hours and 3 minutes. Dell 5600 mAh battery comes with 6 elements on a full charge it took us 4:04 hours, and up to 80% can be charged for the 2:48 hour.

The tested configuration is offered in the U.S. for 369 dollars for 299 dollars you can buy Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail) with 160 GB hard drive and Windows XP Home. Also available configuration with 2 GB of memory, accelerated HD Broadcom , a screen with 1366 × 768 pixels and a module 3G. Later in the sale will be Dell Mini 10 with a digital tuner module and GPS, the price of $ 425. In general, if you decide to choose a Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail), will be available a lot of options. True, we do not believe that just as easily can be configured netbook, and here.

New Dell Mini 10 netbook leaves an ambiguous impression, it is clearly visible improvements over previous models, but to the best netbook on the platform of Pine Trail, he does not hold, and remaining middle. Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail) can be a good choice for those who want to add the option in your netbook, an additional plus is the stylish design and long battery life.

Price in Russia to Dell Mini 10 (Pine Trail) is not yet known, the older generation Dell Mini 10 is with us from 11 000 rub. If the new netbook will cost the same or slightly more expensive, it would be a good buy for your money.

netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE

One of the main advantages of the netbook, in our opinion, is a long time on battery power. Intel is also shared this view, other than to explain that the new processor Atom N450 differs from the previous one only more energy efficient, we promise energy savings up to 20%. And, it seems that not cheating, a good netbook with Atom N450 processor can show miracles conserve energy. Netbook which we consider today is definitely good, it is very long battery life, has a comfortable keyboard and low price of 379 dollars. The name of this netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE.

Appearance Asus Eee PC 1005PE is not extraordinary, we have become accustomed, which netbook should be handsome, frankly discreet netbooks produce except the Chinese and selling them at bargain prices. Series Seashell initially planned Asus, as a designer, but now thin lines, glossy finish with scratch protection and cover with textured no surprise. In general, we have a standard Netbook from Asus lineup of 2009-2010.

With temperature at netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE things are not very good, we do not want to say that it is overheating, but work on the netbook, and laid him on his knees is not very pleasant. In the area of the fan cover appreciably netbook is heated (to 39 degrees).

Mouse buttons on the touchpad in the form of a single silver stripe.

Display a netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE 10-inch LED-backlit, supports a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels. Bright colors, good horizontal viewing angles, this dignity, and the lack of - the size and resolution.

In Netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE integrated webcam 1,3 megapixels, just what is necessary for use Skype.

At the beginning of the review, we noted that the new processor Intel Atom N450 differs from the N270 and N280 only energy efficiency, productivity gains from it can be expected. In the test PCMark05 Asus Eee PC 1005PE has proved even worse than the standard netbook on the old chipset. He scored only 1410 points, which is 90 worse than the average values. In fairness it is worth noting that the Asus Eee PC 1005PE installed Windows 7 Starter Edition, but on most netbooks previous generation Windows XP, which works faster.

But in the test Geekbench our subject was in the first place, albeit with a slight margin.

In general, netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE works smartly enough, we opened several windows web browser, talking on Skype and did not notice any brake. Open WordPad and Internet Explorer took a netbook only 3 seconds. Download time Windows 7 Starter Edition was 54 seconds.

The good results showed testing data. Copying data volume 4,97 GB from one folder to another, took place at a speed of 26.4 MB / sec, which is 11 MB / sec better than the average values.

Integrated graphics chip Intel GMA 3150 record results can not boast, in the test 3DMark06 netbook scored 155 points, not far from the average netbook graphics Intel (160). Power Asus Eee PC 1005PE is quite enough for smooth playback of video format 720p. To play games guinea netbook definitely not fit in the game World of Warcraft is running with a resolution of 800 × 600 and with the effects exposed by default, we managed to get only 14 frames per second. Want to play games or watch videos 1080p, should look at the netbooks on the platform Nvidia Ion, such as the Asus Eee PC 1201N .

Now turn to the most important test, check the battery life. The netbook Asus Eee PC 1005PE is descended from the model 1005HA, which could boast of an excellent result battery life - 8 hours and 57 minutes. However, Asus Eee PC 1005PE easily beat that record, he worked autonomous 10 hours 36 minutes! This is the best result to date, except MSI U110 netbook with a 9-cell battery (12:28). Performance Asus 1005PE almost twice as mean values. Charging 100% 6-cell battery installed on the Asus Eee PC 1005PE took only 2 hours 55 minutes.

Other netbooks with Windows 7 show significantly poorer results, including the vaunted Nokia Booklet 3G (8:24). Moreover, unlike Nokia, netbook Asus 1005PE has a removable battery.

Testing Wi-Fi module did not disappoint, at a distance of 4.5 meters from the access point speed was above average, and with increasing distance of 15 meters, it dropped to average values.

After uploading an opportunity to browse the Internet using Skype, instant messaging client, view photos and have access to online casual games portal (Splashtop Express Gate Games). Total, it took us 8 seconds to boot Express Gate, another 30 seconds to configure the wireless Wi-Fi connection, and about 12 seconds to launch a web browser. In our opinion this is the perfect solution for fast boot, and who need more opportunities, can boot to Windows 7 Starter Edition.

More on netbook installed many utilities and applications Eee Docking of Asus, they are located in the toolbar at the top of the screen. There you can find on Eee @ Vibe, Eee Sharing, Eee Xperience, Eee Tools.

Output

Today it is one of the best netbooks on battery life. Comfortable, with acceptable performance, excellent workhorse. Unfortunately, today there is no netbook providing direct and long working hours, and high productivity. We must choose, or Asus Eee PC 1201N (video 1080p, Game, less than 4 hours of battery life) or the Asus Eee PC 1005PE (internet, texts, video 720p, more than 10 and a half hours).

Toshiba mini NB300 netbook

Toshiba mini NB300 netbook

Toshiba mini NB300 netbook took all the best from a successful model, Toshiba mini NB200, plus this one should not forget about the new energy-efficient processor N450, a loud sound and a new "sport" chassis design. The price of Toshiba mini NB300 starts at $ 349, it is more expensive than some other netbooks on the platform Intel Pine Trail. You can also find a more durable netbooks, for example, Asus 1005PE . But Toshiba mini NB300 also shows a good result battery life - 8.5 hours, besides this netbook has no equal in ergonomics, very comfortable keyboard and touchpad, this is not the last thing in the netbook. Now it's time to move to a detailed familiarity with today's guinea.

Design of Toshiba mini NB300 has a smoother, body tapers from 3.5 cm at the rear of up to 1,3 cm from the front. Compared with the NB200 new model became more "harmonious" and "sport". In contrast NB200 battery protrudes from the case, he sunk into the case, it looks much better. The changes also raised the color of shells is no longer pink (crying blonde, sob sob), now you can buy only blue, brown or white Toshiba mini NB300.

Specifications netbook Toshiba mini NB300:

Processor - Intel Atom N450 1,66 GHz;

Memory - 1 GB (expandable to 2 GB);

Hard drive - 250 GB;

Display - 10.1-inch with 1024 × 600 pixels;

Wireless networks - 802.11b/g/n;

Ports - VGA, 3 x UBS, RJ-45, microphone, headphones, card reader, webcam, Kensington Lock;

Operating System - MS Windows 7 Starter Edition;

Dimensions - 26,7 x 19,3 x 3 cm;

Weight - 1,27 kg.

Fan in Toshiba NB300 less than NB200, it is less noisy and copes well with the cooling. We measured the temperature netbuka after 15 minutes watching video. In the area of the touchpad NB300 warmed up to 36.6 degrees (the patient is healthy), in the middle of the keyboard - 34.4 degrees, the lower part of the housing 33.9 and only the region near to the fans warmed up considerably more than 37.8 degrees.

The keyboard and touchpad was not affected, for that Toshiba should thank, because the ergonomics, the model NB200 everything was fine. Keyboard island type a Toshiba mini NB300 netbook best in its class, competition in this part can only make Netbook HP Mini 5102 . Comfortable, sturdy, well-pressed keys, big keys SHIFT, these are the impressions left behind by writing a page of text on the Toshiba NB300. But if you find fault, you can see a small drawback, the top row of keys F are reduced in size, and icons management netbook plotted gray, which makes them not very noticeable on the silver keyboard.

Touchpad for the subject NB300 biggest of all, we saw a 10 inch netbook. Its size is 7.9 to 4 cm surface of the touchpad is recessed a bit, to use them conveniently. Mouse best in class netbooks, separate, large, well-pressed.

The screen in netbook Toshiba mini NB300 ecstasy did not cause, 10-inch with 1024 × 600 LED-backlit and glossy surface. On the one hand the image bright and contrast, on the other, the gloss gives a glare, and viewing angles could be better.

Speakers who are, like most netbooks on the bottom front of the case can fairly loud and clear sound. But if we compare it with Asus 1005PE, then the Toshiba NB300 lose him as a sound.

In Toshiba mini NB300 netbook standard set of ports. Left - VGA, Ethernet, USB (with the possibility of charging), card reader, on the right has two ports UBS, headphone and microphone, as well as a slot for the lock. On top of the lid, as befits any decent netbook, is a webcam. In NB300 0,3 megapixel webcam is not affecting the quality - the image pale. On the netbook installed firmware application to work with a webcam, it can be used to record video in the resolution of 160 × 120 or 640 × 480 pixels, and add visual effects.

On the external side of Toshiba mini NB300 netbook we seem settled, you can now move on to the tests.

Let's start with the performance, for this we will use the test PCMark05. Surprises in this test Toshiba NB300 is not presented, gaining 1,383 points, slightly more than the NB200 and slightly less than Asus 1005PE. It is expected results for a netbook with a processor Intel Atom N450.

The best mean values were the results of testing the hard drive, it copied the data at 20.6 MB / sec. But Asus 1005PE and there was more agile, its rate of 26.4 MB / sec.

Windows 7 Starter Edition won a Toshiba NB300 1 minute 9 seconds, 10 seconds, worse than average.

The graphical part of all Intel-based netbook limps, providing the minimum required to work and watch the video (not Full HD), to play modern games will not succeed. This is demonstrated running on NB300 game World of Warcraft, at a resolution of 800 × 600 average number of frames per second equal to 19, which is clearly not enough for a comfortable game.

During testing in 3DMark06 Toshiba mini NB300 scored 159 points, which is higher than the NB200 and Asus 1005PE, but less than the average values (227 points).

Averaged results for odnoplatformennikov showed test battery. Toshiba mini NB300 netbook worked on rechargeable batteries 8 hours 37 minutes. Of course, this time enough for virtually any user, but the NB200 worked longer (8:51), but until now the champion - Asus 1005PE (10:36) and did well. Fully charge the battery took 3:38 hours, and up to 80% of the battery can be charged for the 2:34 hour.

The configuration that we tested in the U.S. worth $ 399. A simpler version of the Toshiba mini NB300, without a textured cover and without keyboard island type can be purchased for $ 349, also has a model with a 3G module for $ 499. How Toshiba NB300 will cost in Russia is not yet known, but we hope that the price will be not much bite.

Make a choice when buying a netbook with Intel Atom N450 processor is not so simple. Ideal netbooks we've ever seen from any has its drawbacks. In general, Toshiba mini NB300 netbook is strong of peasant among his fellows, if not ease of use, just that it differs from the others. Its main advantage - excellent keyboard and touchpad, all other characteristics are not worse but not better than most netbooks. If you need a convenient and reliable netbook for work and did not want to carefully compare the set of models, the Toshiba mini NB300 can be simple and reasonable choice.

They also produced a variation with Windows.

Acer Aspire One 532h

Acer Aspire One 532h

The leader of the netbook market, the company Acer, could not stay away from progress and presented their model of netbook at the new platform Intel Pine Trail. Name of new items - Acer Aspire One 532h. The new netbook longer running on battery power, is thinner than previous models and low cost housing. With all these advantages and some disadvantages, where do without them, I propose to meet to review netbuka Acer Aspire One 532h.

Specifications Acer 532h:

Processor - Intel Atom N450 1,66 GHz;

Memory - 1 GB (expandable to 2 GB);

Hard drive - 160/250 GB depending on configuration;

Video - Intel GMA 3150;

Display - 10.1 inch, 1024 × 600 glossy;

Other - Web Camera 0.3-megapixel, 5 in one card reader;

Battery - 4400 or 5600 mAh;

Operating System - MS Windows 7 Starter Edition;

Dimensions - 25,9 x 18,5 x 2,54 cm;

Weight - 1,27 kg.

Netbook Acer Aspire One 532h looks much more elegant older models. Look, he recalls his relationship not with netbook Acer d250 , but rather with a thin notebook Acer Aspire One 751h . Nice that netbooks almost completely got rid of cheap design and now looks not inferior laptops. The downside of this beauty is a gloss, glossy surface of the upper part of the body quickly becomes covered with fingerprints.

In netbook Acer 532h used the original keyboard called Acer FineTip. Despite the fact that the keyboard has increased in size, it is not very convenient. The keys are flat, they do not rise above the body, and the distance between the keys is very small. Location of the keys is the same as a laptop with a screen 11.6-inch Acer 751h, but the keys themselves less. From last tested netbook I really liked the keyboard at the Toshiba mini NB300 and ASUS Eee PC 1005PE . Keyboard with Acer Aspire One 532h better than the old generation netbook of the same company, but concedes the best examples netbuchnyh keyboards.

It seems, Acer has decided to adopt the tactics of car manufacturers, each successive model a little more previous. Increasing the size of the shell netbook does not give any advantages, so it was decided to make a larger keyboard and touchpad. In the model Acer 532h touchpad has become not only more, but got a multisensory support. While on one level with the body, the touchpad is allocated from a tiny bumps. Mouse button in the form of a single metal button - not the most optimal solution.

On cooling from Acer 532h's all right, the fan is not annoying, working quietly, building netbook does not heat up like a hot cake, with Acer 532h can run on her knees, without fear of burns.

Like most netbooks, Acer Aspire One 532h has a screen with a diagonal of 10.1 inches and 1024 × 600 pixels. The screen contrast and bright, but glossy surface makes a strong glare. The vertical viewing angle of this netbook is not perfect. Two people sitting side by side, will be able to see the picture without distortion, while the third would clearly be superfluous, since no see.

Sound of Acer 532h outstanding features is different, the dynamics of sound is loud, but without the bass, however, it is normal for netbooks lack.

Acer 532h has a standard number of ports for 10-inch netbook. Webcam shows no darkening the image problems with video online communication does not occur.

Performance Acer Aspire One 532h does not strike, and how to tackle it with such characteristics, the processor Intel Atom N450 1,66 GHz and 1 GB of memory. In the test PCMark05 netbook scored 1332 points, which is below the average netbook for 145 points. But do not worry, when working on netbook I have not noticed any braking. Quickly launch programs, Internet surfing, movies and printing of texts Acer 532h handles "to cheers.

Hard disk with netbook Acer 532h (250 GB) in the tests showed himself to advantage. When you copy a file data transfer rate equal to 22.4 MB / sec. Download operating system Windows 7 Starter Edition took only 51 seconds.

Integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics card works identically on all netbooks, the test 3DMark06 video system scored only 153 points. The same figures showed other netbooks, such as, Toshiba mini NB300 and ASUS Eee PC 1005PE.

Netbook tested was walking with a 6-elemnym battery capacity of 5600 mAh. While surfing on the Internet using Wi-Fi Acer 532h worked on battery 8:00 36 minutes. It should be noted that the battery life has improved significantly compared to previous generation Acer netbooks. Full charge the battery took me 4 hours 8 minutes.

The price for such as in the review, the netbook Acer Aspire One 532h in the U.S. equals $ 349. If you want to save, there is a budget option with 160 GB and 4400 mAh battery, it will cost $ 299. At the time of writing the review Acer 532h in Russia has not sold, so the price information on him in our country yet.

It's time to take stock, netbook Acer 532h, of course, will be popular with buyers, primarily because of its price - from $ 299 in the U.S.. Average characteristics of a low price, from a reputable manufacturer of computers, what else could the mass buyer? Oh yeah, almost forgot, we still need a good design, so it is also present. Acer have got to make the next hit sales, which in almost all respects than the previous generation of netbooks, but the thoughtful buyer would choose another netbook, which has the best characteristics.

How to choose a netbook

How to choose a netbook

The popularity of netbooks is gaining momentum. All computer manufacturers have released at least a pair of models, but in spite of the seeming diversity, all of them are virtually identical. Nevertheless, there are a few things on which we should pay attention.

1. The size of the screen. Dimensions themselves netbooks are almost identical, but the screen size may vary. Now the market can still be found models with 7, 9 and 10-inch screen. The most common size is 10.2 inches and a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels.

2. Kind of drive. In the netbooks you can find a traditional hard drive (more expensive, but more inclusive - up to 250 GB) or flash memory solid-state drive (cheaper, but less capacity - up to 64 GB). Flash memory, compared with less power-consuming hard drive, and this netbook will work longer. Typically, these drives installed on netbooks running Linux, which is less demanding on resources. The volume of the hard drive for the netbook is not critical to daily work enough, and 10 GB.

3. Operating System. On netbooks establish any OS based on Linux, or Windows XP or Windows Vista. Linux - a free system, so it netbooks are cheaper. On the other hand, nothing prevents you to change the operating system after purchase.

4. Runtimes. Depending on the battery, which comes complete, netbook will run from 5 to 12 hours. Needless to say, the battery can always be purchased separately.

5. Wireless capabilities. It should clarify the existence of netbook to work c Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and - in the latest models, 3G.

All other parameters are either the same in all netbooks (CPU, RAM), or do not play a significant role (eg, webcam). In addition, you can choose netbook in appearance - some more like it.

What is a Netbook

What is a Netbook

The word "netbook» (netbook) is derived from the merger of English network (LAN) and the notebook (laptop). This small laptop is designed to work with the Internet and office programs.

Netbooks more compact (diagonal screen rarely exceed 7-10 inches), lightweight (just over one kilogram) and low power consumption, allowing them to work at 5:00, and some models - up to 12 hours. In addition, netbooks usually inexpensive - around 350-400 dollars.

Low cost and long time work netbooks achieved through cost-effective components. Since most devices use the processor Intel Atom, designed specifically for netbooks, but instead of expensive and power-consuming hard drive is often installed SSD.
