Netboot recent incarnations have improved



Consumers can buy millions of them, the research firm Display Search predicts that the Netbook will snare 20 percent of the notebook market this year, twice as much as last year. Netbook But many owners do not particularly like. A study of the NPD Group found that only 58 percent of Netbook owners are very satisfied with their purchases. On the other hand, 70 percent of those who buy standard notebooks are happy as mussels.

For many users, just good enough early Netbook features are not good enough. Why is it so difficult to write? Why is it so small on the screen, and why can not I use it to watch movies on the plane?


There are beautiful machines, but for a short trip to the west coast, I decided to 110th Mini is a much lighter, for one thing. Slightly more than 2 pounds, the Mini is about half the weight of the pavilion, which is a difference that really matters for long trips. And then there's the battery life. HP has the six-cell battery, which is 40 dollars on the possibility of a Mini, and that brings a lot of energy, without too much weight. I tested battery life by carrying out the video - in this case, two episodes of "Battlestar Galactic.''After 96 minutes of interstellar excitement, Mini battery was still 40 percent charged. The six-cell battery in the pavilion was 18 percent after the test.

This is probably because the pavilion is a powerful computer in each direction. The model I tested was a Dual-Core processor, Advanced Micro Devices Inc., and $ 75 options that can cope with more demanding jobs than the relatively weak Intel Corp. Atom chip in the Mini. Pavilion also has a separate video processor with additional memory. This is why the video playback smoother and sharper than the Mini, which pictures a bit occasionally stuttered. And of course there is the pavilion is the larger screen, that is 12.1 inches, compared with 10.1 inches for the Mini.
