Best Mini Netbooks – Mini Laptop Reviews – Samsung – Lenovo – Acer
Netbooks are very quickly gaining in popularity. It was not all that long ago that you could go to a computer store and see only one or two brands of netbooks. Now, netbooks are available in many different brand names and many different colors.
It is not always easy to choose the best netbook to suit your needs. It can be difficult to balance the portability and convenience of these computers with the specifications you need to make all your applications run.
To aid you in your decision of which one to buy, I have written a brief summary of a few of the better models. This is just a sample of the many models available, so make sure you do your homework before making a purchase.
First let’s take a look at the Samsung NC20. With a sleek twelve inch design, along with a 1.3 GHz VIA Nano processor, and a large trackpad, this netbook is a winner. It has great 1280 x 800 resolution, along with a full sized keyboard, making it easy to use. Another good thing about it is that it provides some much needed competition for the Intel CPU processor for mini laptops. It is one of the first units to sport a VIA Nano processor, which performs about as good as the Intel Atom. Competition is always healthy and brings the market to reasonable levels for everyone.
Another netbook to consider is the Lenovo Ideapad S12. The 1280 x 800 resolution is great for watching movies and has sharp colors so you do not have to strain your eyes. The Ideapad also has a full sized keyboard, making typing easy. The 6 cell battery is a great value added option with this unit, giving it more than five hours of battery life. Acccording to PC Magazine, the Lenovo Ideapad S12 is “…arguably the best 12-inch netbook available…”
Finally, we will take a look at the Acer AOD750. If you are tired of the plain black netbook, this is the one for you. It is available in four different colors to suit whatever tasted you may have. It has great resolution at 1366 x 768 pixels, and works great for high definition movies. Like the other brands mentioned, this one has a full sized keyboard. One advantage to this one is the LED backlighting. This saves energy and helps conserve the battery life, giving you longer and fuller enjoyment from it. The processor is a 1.33 GHz Atom Z520 from Intel. It’s lower clock can slow down performance a bit, but it is still a good unit overall. If you plan on running many applications with your netbook, you may want to consider purchasing one with a higher clock speed than this one.
It was only this year (2009) that the twelve inch netbooks came out in the mainstream and started gaining in popularity. Their full sized keyboards makes them much more useable that their ten inch counterparts. The balance of size and usability is key in becoming dominant in a market. These twelve inch netbooks have achieved that balance. In the coming years, expect to see them become main players in the computer marketplace.
