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  [...]

Granted, brand can be one big consideration, which can help you narrow down your choice to a select few. Some netbook manufacturers like HP have only a few basic models, but with different specs. But some netbook makers like Asus would have different basic form factors, with each having different specs. In some cases, you would have to settle with tradeoffs, and so you need to determine which particular feature is essential to your needs. It boils down to the following: portability, battery life, storage, upgradability. We can even factor in price as part of the considerations. Portability Hands down, portability is probably the biggest reason  [...]

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  [...]
