3K Longitude – Review

Posted on November 6th, 2009 | by admin

3K_longitude

The 3K Longitude rode the bandwagon after the Asus EEE PC broke ground as the first mini notebook to hit the market and other companies have followed suit and came up with their own versions of the now popular EEE PC series. US-based 3K Computers released its own Longitude mini notebook, which is priced at a little below $400.

Does the 3K Longitude satisfy its targeted market’s needs? With the Asus EEE PC as well as other competitors in existence, will it be able to stand on its own and gather a number of loyal followers? The biggest question would be whether the features installed by 3K into its UMPC offering are worth the price tag.

MSI Wind – Netbook Review

Posted on October 26th, 2009 | by admin

MSI_Wind_black

From MSI comes the MSI Wind U100. What features can a user expect from the netbook? Does it deliver in terms of performance and specifications? Here’s what we think about the MSI Wind Review after testing it.

Pros

Users will be delighted to find that although this is a mini-notebook, the MSI Wind has a decently-sized keyboard that will not make their hands and fingers cramp when typing. To those who are used to full-sized laptops, they’d also be impressed by the size of the Wind’s keyboard as it is surprisingly close to what they have been using. The keyboard also gives feedback, and does not require a tremendous effort to press.

The speakers on the MSI Wind give excellent output as well. The audio is very clear and crisp, even from a distance of seven feet. Music lovers will certainly love the clarity that they can enjoy without having to plug in headsets or external speakers to do so.

Everex CloudBook – Netbook Review

Posted on October 15th, 2009 | by admin

More reviews on: Top 5 Netbooks

Everex’s netbook, named the Everex Cloudbook, offers a satisfactory, albeit unimpressive, performance. The Everex Cloudbook offers satisfactory operation based on its 1.2 GHz VIA C7-M ultra low voltage processor. Upgrading the tiny 512MB RAM to 1GB does help improve its performance. Still, this is not remarkable compared to the competition.

Freemont, California-based Everex is a manufacturer of desktop and notebook personal computers. Established in 1983, the company initially made a name for itself as the leader in tape backup sales with half the world market.
