10 inches NETBOOK faceoff
Design
A good design is key to a successful NETBOOK. To the keyboard and trackpad design makes a big difference, as does include a large screen and even the number of ports. Aesthetics is important – but most users are reluctant to NETBOOK more privileges function – and some of our opponents on the board is just ahead.
The EEE PC and MSI are large in the cluster, even if the MSI is a little lighter and slightly more elegant research. The chassis Lenovo gives an old school feel, however, is not at all difficult. HP scores highest for its rounded corners and edges of the keyboard. Samsung is the best future, with subtle touches that are not elegant but fragile.
Winner: Samsung NC10
Last Place: ASUS Eee PC 1000H
Screen
A big selling point for 10-inch Netbook is finally having decent screen real estate. This is another category where there is no clear winner or loser, as all these machines offer large screens with some drawbacks.
The MSI of the screen and kill 1024 x 600 resolution is easy on the eyes, not even in a horizontal display, making it difficult to share with two or more people.
Samsung, Lenovo eee PC and the screens are also looking mate and a good variety of angles. Although, by comparison, the EEA PC colors appear muted. The HP glossy and bright LED backlit screen is not a problem, seen from different angles, either, but it could strain the eyes.
Winner: Samsung NC10
Last Place: MSI Wind
Ports
For this type of small computers, netBook offers a surprising number of useful ports. The most important thing for most people are USB and memory card slots. VGA, Ethernet, headphone and microphone jacks are also expected.
The lowest in ports is the HP – only two USB ports, VGA-size does not appear, and a combo microphone / headset rather than separately for each. The Lenovo also offers two USB ports, but has an additional port, none of the others do: an ExpressCard 3 / 4 slot, a card for mobile broadband.
Samsung, Eee PC and MSI have spread the standard port, the only difference is the number of different types of memory cards anyone can read.
The placement of USB ports – where you’re more likely to have things and to knock on their way – different in each unit. Users who do not want anything that can take the path of his palms, as he may not have USB slots near the front, as they are in the MSI and Lenovo. The EEE PC HP and its place in the central and rear, sure of the way. Samsung port on the right is in the middle and two on the left are at the front.
Winners: Lenovo IdeaPad S10 & ASUS Eee PC 1000H
Last Place: HP Mini 1000
