Netbook Reviews of the Day
Here are the latest netbook reviews from around the web.
Top Tech News reviews the Acer Aspire One A110 netbook and finds:
“Overall, the A110 will meet the needs of users who want a quick Internet access device. It is not really meant to be your primary workstation, but if you need to use the A110 extensively for more than one hour, it would be good to install Windows XP.”
About.com has a review of the HP Mini 1035 NR netbook which is HP’s second generation netbook featuring a 10.2 inch display. Here’s what they thought of the netbook:
“The biggest problem with the HP Mini 1000 netbooks though is the ports. It is limited to just two USB ports and an SD slot. This puts it well behind offerings from other companies. Even the VGA port requires an adapter to use.”
Legit Reviews publishes a review of the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA here on their website. Here’s their verdict:
“The ASUS EEE 1000HA is a very capable netbook. If you are looking for something with all the features and abilities of a notebook in a small and easy to use package, then this is the netbook for you. “
Macworld hands-on look at Eee PC 1000HA. Verdict: Apple is missing out
For a Mac user’s perspective of an ASUS Eee PC netbook, check out Peter Cohen’s hands-on look at the Eee PC 100HA system over at Macworld.com. Already convinced that Apple is “missing an opportunity by not offering Mac users a netbook”, Mr. Cohen takes the 1000HA for a spin to see “what the netbook experience is really like.”
The reviewed system comes with a 10 inch LCD display, an Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB HDD. Oh yeah much to the dismay of nearly all Mac users out there, it comes with Windows XP Home.
Despite having to deal with Windows XP, Mr. Cohen has this to say about the netbook:
“The Eee 1000HA is no replacement for a full-sized laptop or a desktop computer, but as a means to check e-mail and get some light work done while you’re out and about, it’s fantastic. The Eee 1000HA gets you around town conveniently and economically—Asus’ answer to the Smart Car Fortwo”
And yes – he still remains convinced that Apple is missing out. Kudos to him!
