Acer Aspire One Happy2 Netbook (ep.5)

Cute, sturdy and just perfect for our needs

My 12 year old daughter needed a netbook for school as his was lost. We searched and searched to find one that was a good price but also a trusted brand and we met. That’s when we stumbled upon the Acer Aspire One happy2. The fun colors that attracted him, but the details that attracted me.
“It is about 10x10x1, so it is small but not too small. Perfect size for its BackBack.
-The speed of the Intel 1.66 is fast enough for what to do (writing articles, playing some online games)
The graph is RAM-64 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150, when he had no latency Minecraft Thurs:)
-The hard drive is 250 GB, so much for a child or for someone who wants to take a tiny laptop on vacation to upload photos.
-We found the battery will last about 4-5 hours before needing to charge again.
We are pleased with our happy and had no problems at all things fall into place, the drivers installed, etc. Thank Acer to release a quality product that anyone can afford!

Great little laptop, fast, pretty, light and robust

I love this laptop, it works great! It’s fast, light, very easy on the eyes and very robust. The award is just the most incredible case I can imagine. Why buy an expensive laptop when it can do everything you need for a laptop, for a quarter of the price of the cheapest MacBook! I highly recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a new laptop. Of course, this is not a gaming machine, or graphics, etc. But that’s not really what I consider to be useful for laptops anyway, especially small ones like this.

A very reliable laptop – laptop to my best

I’ve used laptops before, but this laptop for the price is beyond expectations. It has a very comfortable keyboard. The device is very well designed and it works faster than my previous laptop with almost the same characteristics. I recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight laptop and reliable. After a few days of use, I decided to order a second for a friend.

Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 Netbook (ep.5)

A nice netbook for surfing the net usual coffee.

I was after a new netbook (owner of an Eee 701) and thought I would go with the Dell this time.
I found the Dell the most attractive package in early 2010 for the follwoing reasons:
1. comes with the new Atom 450 (Nergy be somewhat more effective)
2. the 6-cell battery gives me more air time than the 3-cell batteries in many other netbooks.
3. the keyboard is a pleasure to type on quickly.
4. the case is not only beautiful but sturdy. No significant bending of any kind under pressure.
5. the screen is nice, vibrant colors.
6. touchpad is large and usable.
I was using the mini now for a couple of days and I’m not disappointed. I use it to surf the web of light, e-mail, and typing (basic classical applications of a netbook). In addition, I use it for streaming music in my Zune subscription.
My expectations are met. Windows Starter seems just a bit of a bottleneck in terms of included (or lack) characteristics from Home or Professional. I could not figure out how to save the Mini via a mapped network drive and as it is, there must be a lack (or blocked) function because of Windows 7 Starter Edition. Upgrade seems the best choice if you really want to use the mini for sharing and streaming home.

Toshiba NB505 Netbook (ep.5)

Solid Netbook – Excellent second computer

I bought this computer a few weeks ago and so far my experience has been very positive. This netbook is solidly built and is ready to use out of the box. The keyboard is easy to use and the trackpad is OK – a little too sensitive for my taste. Unlike many other systems, it does not come with much bloatware – trial versions of programs you do not want anyway. There are some, but almost all programs may be useful. Software included Toshiba seems well designed, although personally I do not need it.
As for speed, the computer is powerful enough for a netbook, and run office applications and home net smoothly. Of course, it does not respond to more intensive use, such as video editing, image processing or games – but again, that’s not what this computer is for. However, the Atom processor of this unit is endangered, and about $100 more you can get a netbook that is significantly faster. Nevertheless, or a solid, cheap, ultraportable computer is a good choice.
Pros:
* Good keyboard
* Good battery life
* Nice, slim design
* No bloatware, useful software included
* Solid build quality, looks like it will last
Cons:
* Disappointing sound (one speaker on the bottom)
* Slow CPU

HP mini 210 Netbook (ep.5)

Awesome little netbook

I waited for this particular version with the audio BEATS and I think it was worth the wait.
1) Processor speed and RAM – would have been nice to have 2 GB of RAM but since this netbook was for my mother, I have not bothered to get an upgrade. But if you use this netbook for browsing and Skype, etc, 1 GB of RAM is good enough.
2) Windows – OS is a version of Windows 7 boot and does not have all the features as such. The part that surprises me most is that the Starter Edition, you can not change your wallpaper. How bizarre is that? You can change the screen saver, but can not change the wallpaper. How difficult would it be for MS to have this feature. So again, this is for my mom, so I do not care if I upgraded to Home atleast.
3) Battery – Battery life is approximately 5-6 hours of what I have observed within 2-3 days.
4) Laptop gets hot – I did not find that the bottom of the laptop gets a little warm but not too much.
5) Size and Weight – Height is just great and perfect to go into any bag, small or small. Its perfect for my mother to carry in his bag. The weight is correct and not too much.
6) Looks – The netbook looks impressive, they have some good colors and I love the look and feel of the netbook.
7) Picture and sound – decent camera and the sound is very good and it’s pretty comparable to my old laptop HP DV4 series.
Overall, I think it’s a great buy for $ 299. You get more than you can ask. If it were not for my mother and if it was for me, I would have updated the following:
a) RAM
b) Windows 7 – Home Starter Edition from
c) Increase the screen resolution
