Evil tongues are already yapping about the "Flawed Atom" when the topic turns to Intel's Netbook processors. We do not rate them so poorly, as we believe that, although the new Cedar Trail platform is not as powerful as we had hoped, it is still a step forward.
The workmanship and sturdiness of the simple case made of synthetic material is decent and the test model is quite mobile. We would have liked to see a brighter, higher-resolution display and we can live without a USB 3.
Although, in comparison to the predecessors, the performance has increased, it still is quite limited. We are not talking about the poor gaming performance; instead we are referring to the miserable system performance while performing simple tasks. However, even the smallest programs can cause a drop in performance. This is the main flaw as any other flaws are acceptable for the Netbook class.
In comparison to the competition, we find the AMD-based models to be most attractive as they offer better performance for slightly shorter battery life. The Acer Aspire One in the If the display were matt, we would have recommended this model as the ideal Netbook - as such, each user will have to decide for themself, what they value most in a device.
The x pixels resolution places the RC below some Smartphone screens. Find out in the following review. High-quality hinges. Front: no ports. Back: no ports. Accessories We do not expect Netbooks to be delivered with a mountain of accessories and the RC was no exception to the rule.
Maintenance The Netbook does not have a maintenance flap so opening the case will void the warranty. Input Devices. Touchpad The touchpad, manufactured by Elan, is 9 cm diagonally and supports multi-touch gestures up to three fingers.

My friend and Verge co-founder Joanna Stern built the early part of her career obsessively covering netbooks, first at Laptop Mag , then Gizmodo , and then with me at Engadget. And there was a lot to cover: at one point Joanna noted that Asus had put out at least 20 different models of Eee PC in alone.
And that was just Asus! Dell, HP, Lenovo and others all chased after the netbook idea furiously. Do you remember when the Nokia Booklet 3G was going to reinvent Nokia? It was very pretty, though. I asked Joanna about this moment in time, and this is what she sent me:. Toshiba whatever it was called after Toshiba whatever it was called. It was a constant search for the perfect blend of price, portability and power.
The netbook explosion was all the more odd because every netbook had the same basic specs, as Microsoft charged more for a standard non-Starter Windows license if a computer had anything more than a 1. So it was all colors and screen sizes, really. All to run a deeply-annoying version of Windows, on a computer that no one was even remotely claiming could replace a primary PC.

L'Eee PC a ouvert le boom des netbooks en Asus critiques. Intel Atom N 1 x 1. Intel's new Atom N processor now contains the memory controller and the graphic engine Intel GMA , which allegedly consumes even less electricity.
Read in this review about how the new netbook stands up against models with an Intel Atom N or N processor. Overall, we liked the netbook just like the HA, since it's essentially the same thing, just rebranded with bumped up specifications. However, all the things we didn't like the first time around are back in this netbook, like the overly glossy finish, the response of the keys and the sticky trackpad. We wish Asus would have spent a little more time on the drawing board and fixed these issues before launching it.
If you don't mind these and are in the market for a netbook with good battery life then the P is a good choice. No stand-out features but a good-quality netbook with decent design, and not too expensive.
It is more a second machine, maybe for travelling with, and only then if you can cope with the small keyboard and non-familiar operating system. Aesthetically close to this model, it retains the same "elegant and natural" design and matte panel.
While idle, the laptop consumes between 6. These values show that our test model is better than the Eee PC B. The power consumption remains low even under heavy load. We measured a maximum consumption of In standby mode, the device uses a little too much power: 0.
However, overall the netbook delivers acceptable power consumption levels. The battery life could be easily guessed from the power consumption. We tested the 6 cell Lithium-Ion battery of the netbook, which has a capacity of 56 Wh, to see what battery life it offered. We used Battery Eater to measure the maximum battery life of the netbook.
The energy-saving options were all activated, brightness was lowered and WLAN was deactivated. The netbook lasted a long 11 hours and 19 minutes in this test. We tested a more practical scenario where the energy-saving options were still active, but the brightness was raised to a comfortable level and the WLAN module was activated. We simulated a typical work day of surfing on the internet.
The laptop lasted 7 hours and 28 minutes on its battery. In the final test, we once again used Battery Eater. We ran the Classic Test in which the brightness was at maximum, energy-saving options were all off and the WLAN module was on. The laptop lasted a decent 4 hours and 30 minutes in this mode. Overall, the netbook delivers good run times for a low price. This is probably due to the low power consumption hardware installed in the device. The 10 inch device delivers a sturdy and familiar "Seashell" case.
The workmanship is good and the display is anti-glare and offers high brightness. The battery life of 11 hours and 20 minutes is also impressive. The input devices keyboard and touchpad are of good quality and we did not detect any flaws.
The system operates quietly and remains cool, allowing the user to work in peace. The program performance of the dual-core Intel Atom N is very poor and is suited mainly for Office use and surfing on the internet. The integrated graphics chip is also quite weak. The netbook also lacks a fast USB 3.
However, this model is not suited for multi-tasking, content creation video or multimedia use. Whether the tablet boom falls or rises, Asus remains faithful to its netbooks primarily. Asus has released the next addition to the Eee PC family. We ran the newest member of the popular Eee PC family through our in-depth tests. Accessories The buyer should not expect a lot of accessories for such a low price. Input Devices. Keyboard The familiar keyboard with chiclet keys does not hold many surprises.
