Dell Inspiron iM1012-799OBK Mini 1012 10.1-Inch Netbook (Obsidian Black) Top Quality


I was after a new netbook (owned an EEE 701)and thought I would go with the Dell this time around.

I found the Dell the most attractive package in early 2010 for the follwoing reasons:

1. comes with the new Atom 450 (should be a little more nergy efficient)

2. the 6-cell battery gives me more air time than the 3-cells batteries in so many other netbooks.

3. the keyboard is a pleasure to type on quickly.

4. the case is not only pretty but sturdy. No noticable flexing of any kind under pressure.

5. the screen is nice, colors vibrant.

6. touchpad is of a nice and usable size.

I've been using the Mini now for a couple of days and I'm not disappointed. I use it for light web surfing, emails, and typing (the classic core apps of a netbook). In addition, I use it for streaming music under my Zune subscription.

My expectations are met. Windows Starter only seems a bit of a bottleneck in terms of included (or lacking) features compared to Home or Professional. I couldn't figure out how to back up the Mini via a mapped network drive and as it stands, it must be a missing (or blocked) feature due to Windows 7 Starter Edition. Upgrading seems the better choice if one really wants to use the Mini for sharing and streaming at home.

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1151 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 3+ Hour Battery Life Review


Previously, I purchased and returned a netbook from a major manufacturer, hated it slow and always crashing. I love this netbook, cheap, works well and I prefer the 3 hour battery. The larger battery adds more weight, and even in airports, I'm never far from a recharge. It's easy to carry around. I bought one for my sister, too.Get more detail about Acer Aspire One AOD250-1151 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 3+ Hour Battery Life.

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1326 10.1-Inch White Netbook - 3+ Hour Battery Life Get it now!


I was leery of ordering after reading some of the negative reviews, but CompUSA had a price too good to pass up. Delivery was `fast' and the netbook has an extremely slim profile. It operated right out of the box but I gave it a full run through after charging the battery.

First the good points: The wireless card picks up signals that my Dell Inspiron couldn't. The keypad is comfortable enough to type, although it is small. The touch pad has the ability to enlarge the display for those of us whose eyes aren't what they used to be. I received an excellent upload/download speed test 100' away from my modem. It doesn't come with a CD drive, but, if you have a desktop or laptop with a CD drive you can copy programs onto a flash drive, then install them on the netbook. The internal webcam works very well.

Here's the negative points: The battery life is short but that's to be expected considering the size of the battery. The speakers are somewhat `tinny', but again that's to be expected. They are loud enough to clearly hear my YouTube videos. The touchpad is small so an inexpensive mouse is advisable.

All in all I am pleasantly surprised. If it does act up I will update the posting.
