In terms of the processor being used it has nothing new or different to offer, it’s the same old Intel atom processors like most of the other netbooks. Keeping the processor in mind the Hannsspree did not perform any different from most of the other netbooks which use the same processor. Its perfect from a netbook point of view, offering decent web browsing and regular office document processing. Though the internal speakers aren’t all that great, the audio quality isn’t all that bad. Plus I wouldn’t recommend this one for any kind of video viewing because the videos are quite grainy and choppy. Also it didn’t seem to be that efficient when it came to multitasking. The ram can be upgraded upto 2GB, but this can be done only once it has been ordered. The battery life of this one is quite average and it ran for almost 5 hours and 9 minutes  [...]

Previously we discussed preferences for notebook sizes. Now it's time for you to tell us which netbook size you are. Netbooks are, of course, those tiny, mini-sized notebook computers that cost a fraction of the price of their bigger siblings, but do pretty much the same. By definition, netbooks are considered devices that are used primarily to run applications on the Cloud, or via the Internet. Having lower-powered specs than full-fledged notebooks, netbooks are mostly used for Web browsing, email and other forms of online activity via the Web browser. But of course, netbook users know that these little gadgets are just as usable and powerful as bigger computers in many aspects. Through the several months that netbooks  [...]

I've been a fan of netbooks since Asus came out with the first generation EeePC, the 701. The week it was released locally, I went to my favorite laptop store and bought myself one. An early Christmas gift, I told myself. And I've been hooked ever since. In the days before the EeePC, subnotebooks ruled the ultraportable market. But they were far different from netbooks as we know them today, especially when you look at the price factor. Subnotebooks used to cost upwards of $2,000. And that's just for the basic models from Toshiba and Fujitsu. Back then, you didn't even have WiFi connectivity! But today, you can snap up a netbook from a multitude of brands for as low as $250 or even less, with tie-ins with telecoms providers. Of course, the argument here is that while they are cheap, they're not as powerful as their full-fledged  [...]
