netbook Australia shopping guide

You've probably heard of the latest trend in portable mini-laptops called netbooks. Netbooks are small and portable, not too powerful it can be used for simple tasks such as word processing, watching videos, listening to music, surf Internet and upload photos from your digital camera. They vary in size from 10 inches to 7 inches and the tiny body makes it an attractive proposition for travelers who want something to get rid of your images on the disk and maybe a diary of their movements. But even some business users find attractive because they are easily transportable and can be use on the road and in meetings.

We do not consider a netbook if you want a laptop to run multithreaded applications or tax, such as Adobe Photoshop or Lotus Notes; netbooks just are not powerful enough for applications. With a netbook can run an image editor to crop the bottom and rename your photos (and add a little contrast and brightness), standard applications run word processing and spreadsheet, standard-definition movies, listen MP3, surf the web and use Skype. You can not edit video, encode video or music (unless you're willing to wait a long time), and can not review your email while listening to music while working on a Word document while browsing web sites in Flash heavy!

Most netbooks have certain common characteristics: a processor, which is almost always an Intel Atom N270 or N280, 1 GB of RAM, integrated Intel graphics, and size to 10.2in screen (though BenQ has a 11.6in model). Differ in their netbooks battery life ( laptop "> laptop battery), and the hard disk used to store files. The netbooks have a traditional spinning disk drive or solid state drive with no moving parts. Capacity latter can make sacrifices, but a netbook a bit lighter and quieter. It also protects data: a fall or collision is less likely to damage an SSD versus a hard drive has moving parts.

The operating system on a netbook is almost always Windows XP, but some business models also have the option of Windows Vista Business. Most netbooks are also able to bring out Windows 7. Linux is the operating system of choice for the first netbook – ASUS Eee PC 701 4G – but only available in some other models, since ( title = "Acer laptop battery"> acer laptop battery, for example).

We have produced a guide to help you find the perfect netbook, and provided an overview of the many netbooks that have crossed our Test Center to help decide which one is right for you.

Netbook Specifications

Audio: All netbooks have a sound chip (usually a chip Realtek High Definition Audio) and ports headphone and microphone. They also have built-in microphones and some more recent netbooks, such as Fujitsu M2010 have digital microphones that can be filtered background noise. Some netbooks have a single speaker, while others offer stereo sound. Speakers at a netbook are powerful and should not be relied upon (except maybe watch a quick video from YouTube). The use of a headset or plug in speakers if you want to listen to music or watch.

Battery: Most netbooks come with a 3-cell battery that lasts an average of 2 hours and 30 minutes watching videos, but some models come with a 6-cell battery that can play videos up to 5h 30min. The battery life varies depending on the tasks they perform, but if you want a longer battery life and then opt for a netbook with a battery more important.

CPU: The first netbooks like the Asus 701 4G and the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC uses the Intel Celeron M CPU and VIA C-7M. Now, almost all netbooks use one of the low-end processors Intel Atom, most often the Intel Atom N270, N280, Z520 and Z530. The N270 runs at 1.6 GHz, while that the N280 runs at 1.66 GHz, the Z520 runs at 1.3 GHz while the Z530 runs at 1.6GHz. All processors have a cache of 512KB. The N270, Z520 and Z530 has a Bus line 533 in front in the memory, while the N280 has a connection 667. They are all single-core processors, but Hyper-Threading. This means they are able of performing both processes simultaneously, which facilitates multitasking. Intel Atom processors run much cooler than the Celeron and VIA CPU (VIA processor, in particular, very hot inside the enclosure of a small netbook). AMD has launched a low-voltage chip suitable for netbooks – the Athlon 64 L110 – but not yet widespread.
The Expansion Slots: Only a few netbooks have integrated expansion slots: Lenovo IdeaPad S10 has an ExpressCard/34 slot, for example, and HP Mini 2140 is a ExpressCard/54 slot. An ExpressCard slot is useful if you want to install a mobile data card for Internet access or a digital TV tuner, for example. However, there USB devices can be used for the same tasks. No need to buy a notebook with an ExpressCard slot, unless you already have devices that need it.

Graphics: netbooks are not dedicated graphics processor, but have integrated graphics cards that use the processor and main system memory perform many functions. This means you can not use the netbook for a sophisticated 3D graphics processing. As a result, netbooks can not run many games (unless you are quite old and do not require complex 3D graphics). The most common graphics card, built in the netbook is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA 950). Some netbooks use Intel's GMA 500 integrated graphics capabilities including advanced video processing that the GMA 950. Often used in netbooks that have a digital TV tuner.

Touring Memory card: As most regular-size notebooks, netbooks have a SD card slot that can be used to download images quickly from a digital camera.

Network: All netbooks are equipped with wireless networks and Puerto Ethernet. Wireless network speed is usually up to 802.11g, but some quick assistance netbooks Wi-Fi 802.11n. Speed is usually Ethernet 10/100, but some high-end netbooks have Gigabit Ethernet. If you are using a notebook to surf the Internet, and 802.11g and Ethernet 10/100 fast enough. Choose speeds Faster network if you intend to use the netbook to serve data in a streamer of the media, for example.

Optical Drive Because of its size, the netbooks do not have space for an integrated optical drive. If you want to install programs from CDs or play DVD movies you need a burner external DVD player that plugs into a USB port.

RAM: The first netbook from ASUS had sent 512 MB of RAM, but most netbooks now has 1 GB installed. Usually can be increased (sometimes with difficulty) to 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM Use some netbooks have two SO-DIMM slots, while others have housing and built-in RAM.

Resolution: The first Eee PC with a 7-po, had a resolution of 800×480. now common 1024×576 resolution (for netbooks with aspect ratio of 16:9) and 1024×600 (for netbooks with a ratio of 16:10). Netbooks resolution 8.9in 10.2in and netbooks is the same – 1024×600. Netbooks 10.1in screen has a resolution of 1024×576 typical. So it's a small difference, choose a model with higher resolution if you can, because it will more convenient when surfing the Web pages. Dell Mini 10 and Sony VAIO series VPCW115XG W (P / T / W) netbook has a high definition display with a resolution desktop of 1366×768, which is currently the highest resolution in the market for a netbook.

Screen Size: The current generation of netbooks are screens 10.1in or 10.2in, but there is a 11.6in model BenQ available. The first netbook – The ASUS Eee PC 701 4G – has a 7 "screen and the latest models presented 8.9in screens.

Storage: netbooks are available with a conventional semiconductor memory or (spinning) hard drives. SSDs have no moving space, so it is less likely to turn hard data loss if you drop your netbook. However, semiconductor devices Netbooks are not as fast as hard disks, 5400 rpm it spins. They do not offer anywhere near the storage of conventional hard drives. Other advantages of the SSD is that they are a little lighter, producing less heat and consume a little less energy. Choose a solid state disk, if you want a notebook that will run almost silently and without vibration and not worry about storage capacity. Choose a netbook with a standard hard drive is running if you want a large storage capacity (classic hard on the netbooks currently range up to 160 GB). Some netbooks come in a hard disk and solid state drive. In such a configuration of the operating system is installed on the SSD and hard drive used to store programs and data.

USB Ports: netbooks can have up to three USB 2.0 ports, although some models come with only two. Toshiba (NB100 NB200 and as an netbook) has USB ports with the most advanced in the market can be used to recharge devices such as iPhone or MP3 player, even when the netbook is turned off.

Video output: most netbooks come with a D-Sub (VGA) that can be used to connect an external monitor.

Warranty: Most netbooks in the market are guaranteed for 12 months, the only netbook with a 24 months warranty is Fujitsu M2010.

Webcam: All of the netbooks come with a webcam integrated can be used for Skype and save videos from YouTube.

Weight: The weight of a netbook is 1 to 1.6 kg, depending on screen size, battery type and other specifications.

How we tested

We use iTunes to convert 53min of WAV files into MP3 192 Kbps, which can testing the resistance of a netbook processor. Our test battery consists of a loop of a video file with the screen brightness and maximum performance energy savings. This means that real life experience can be higher depending on how processor-intensive than lead and is the administration system energy.
