Nokia is one of the most unlikely company to launch a netbook, because the phones are its claim to fame. Most manufacturers can testify that the key finding of a successful Netbook for the right combination of distinction, while its error is minimized. The booklet is probably the most luxurious 3G Netbook looks and price as-rolled into thin aluminum metal-rich and costs $ 600 without subsidies. While the design, battery life, and user experience for a first netbook manufacturers are extraordinary, Nokia has a few missteps. Pricing is the first. The second is the combination of slow HDD (4200 RPM), 1 GB of RAM, and Windows 7 Home Premium, which essentially cripples performance.
Design
Granted, I was impressed that not all of the design, as the message on the Nokia 2009 World Summit broke, but my conclusions were to photos and blog manufacturer supplied images. Feel the equipment in my hands, but painted a completely different picture: The booklet is just one of the most luxurious 3G netbooks so far eclipsing binary other classic netbooks like the HP Mini 5101 and Sony Lifestyle PC (VGN-588EQ). The decisive factor is using aluminum metals. Although it does not fall into them like an Apple MacBook Pro, the booklet uses 3G enough metals in the right places, giving it a “book” similar to what you would experience with a Rolex Clock. The cover is made from black glossy plastic, with aluminum trimmings, giving it a jewel-look. Conversely, the lower half is made of all metals, aluminum with black plastic trimmings. Netbooks like the ASUS EeePC 1002HA HP 5101 and have brushed aluminum metals for their lids, which work wonderfully. Meanwhile, Toshiba NB205 mini uses the textures embellish the design in such a way that also works in his favor.

At 2.7 pounds, the booklet 3G slightly lighter than the HP 5101 (2.9 lbs), Toshiba NB205 (2.9 lbs) and Samsung N120 (12GBK) (2.8 lbs). This booklet is a 10-inch widescreen would be as generic as his colleagues it was not for his funky resolution: In 1280-by-720 was, it is something higher and better located than the 1,024-by-600 those in a typical Netbook . The HP 5101 and Sony VAIO VPC-W11XX are exceptions that are in their 10-inch screens are available with 1366 x 768 resolution.
The keyboard is insulated and rough-looking, with most of the key with the dimensions of a perfect square. It is for those who have small hands and slender fingers, perfect as the 91% is not pitch-key as wide as the full-size ones found in the Toshiba NB205, HP 5101 and Samsung N120. The booklet is navigating experience, but was so fantastic, like the Toshiba NB205, as the touchpad and mouse buttons are standard size and very comfortable to use.
Features
For the most part, the booklet 3G a very impressive set of features. The inflated price tag, in fact, is characteristic of these functions, such as Intel writes on a juicy premium netbook makers who try to venture from the norm or to extravagant. An HDMI port on a 10-inch netbook, the booklet has, is almost unknown. In addition to the SD slot only, is another slot filled with a SIM card. A SIM card essentially gives you access to a high-speed mobile network (most likely AT & T in the U.S. only because his statements are not compatible with T-Mobile). For a traveler or businessman, access to a ubiquitous broadband connection might be worth the two-year contract with AT & T, the price of the brochure to $ 300 ($ 600 free with no contract would have to drop).

Apart from these two things, the rest of the feature set is fairly common. It comes with three USB port, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and a headphone jack. With integrated HDMI, Nokia did not bother to a VGA-out port-a-video-out port that most netbook manufacturers are generally preferred to concentrate. A pair of speaker rests on each side (near the front), the tinny sound of playing multiple music file. The only major miscue is the slow-spinning hard drive (4200rpm), which affect the performance later. The 120GB capacity is not all that impressive, though most netbooks average 160GB.
Performance
Because of the unwritten rules of Intel, the booklet 3G is limited to the Z-series Atom platform. The 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor is top of the line for the series, but still not fast as the N280 processors in the HP and Toshiba NB205 5,101th It is also only 1 GB of DDR2 memory and integrated graphics support. Performance would not suffer so much had the booklet included 3G faster (5,400 rpm) hard drive and Windows XP have used instead of Windows 7 Home Premium (even though the OS is not what prevents performance here). Be granted, the shipping version of the booklet have 3G Windows 7 Starter Edition, but the drive proved to be his main obstacle. Navigate the desktop felt slow, and the Control Panel has a good five seconds, to fill the icons. Installing software and also the startup of the system seemed slower than other netbooks. Nokia is not an option, a faster hard drive or more memory upgrade, and there is no easy way, the memory upgrade module itself, so what you see is what you get. I also validated the anecdotal experience with video-encoding tests: The booklet 3G’s 5-minute 55-second score more than a minute behind the Toshiba NB205 (was 4:45) and HP 5101 (4:24).

The only bright spot was the performance of batteries. The battery itself is flat and thin and spanned half the area of the booklet’s Base. Although he put it in a position to 16 cells in, is the capacity of 57Wh battery, which corresponds to the 6-cell battery is found in the HP 5101 (55Wh), Toshiba NB205 (63WH) and Samsung N120 (57WH). Nevertheless, it succeeded the booklet 3G a MobileMark 2007 score of 8 hours 50 minutes-an impressive feat for a Netbook, but directly in line with the Toshiba NB205 (8:27).
In the end, I can understand what all the initial hype was about. The Nokia 3G booklet is a classic product search, with a body, the Apple line of laptops can compete with aluminum. Unfortunately, not enough attention to all the weight of a Netbook Carry. Although this netbook embeds some cool features and delivered awesome battery life, it is an impulse purchase with speeds that will ultimately disappoint the line down. If you feel like splurging, then this will be available only by netbook Best Buy (you can also use the AT & T 2-year contract on Best Buy, and thus receive the brochure for $ 300 subsidized). Otherwise, I would consider, noble-looking other netbooks like the HP Mini 5101 and Editors’ Choice Toshiba NB205 mini.
