Gateway LT2118u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

Purchased the Gateway LT2118u (with Windows 7 starter) and was skeptical about buying the Amazon recommended 2GB RAM upgrade because multiple people referenced having trouble with the system recognizing the extra memory. The Amazon rep didn’t know…he recommended I contact Gateway…that was difficult…no phone number listed. After researching on-line, I saw where several people stated that they just upgraded the BIOs from ACER and the computer recognized the upgrade. I decided to purchase Amazon’s recommended RAM (2GB 256Mx64P SODIMM 5300) from Cruial…if it failed, I would return it. I installed the memory using Gateway’s website procedures and it worked perfect…booted the computer and it recognized the memory. Computer works recognizably faster! By the way, I didn’t change the computers BIOs…it is still ACER ver 1.15.

Sony VAIO VPC-W121AX/T 10.1-Inch Brown Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

This is the newest model (W211AX) of Sony’s Netbooks and has a extended battery life. While others may complain of the battery- I like the fact that it elevates the netbook up towards you. Depending on the surfing you do- you may have a bit less battery life than advertised. I ordered the pink Vaio and couldn’t be more pleased. It was everything I expected it to be and then some. The Track pad is reasonably sized and much larger than most. The screen clarity is amazing. My only complaint is where the speakers are situated for the volume. I simply resolved this issue on my own and use my ipod head phones when listening to sound. To the lower right of screen you may also adjust zoom level. Your options are 100, 125, and 150. If you do increase the zoom level- You do loose a bit of viewing and must scroll from side to side. The keyboard buttons are a bit elevated and makes it easier for typing. The only other downfall that I could say would be that the netbook only comes with Windows 7 Starter. With this program starter version you are unable to change desktop background. Bummer… I love that I can install my SD card and download my photos too. Perfect for web surfing, downloading pics, typing, emails, etc.
AMAZING LITTLE NETBOOK!!!!!!!!

HP Mini 210-1030NR 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9.75 Hours of Battery Life Review

I recieved my netbook about 3 weeks ago. The delivery was super fast! I had a little trouble getting used to it, but I’m glad I stuck with it because I really like it now. The keyboard is understandably smaller than a regular laptop’s so I had to learn to not hit two keys at once. Now that I’m used to it it’s no big deal. I’m still having trouble with the touchpad, though. It can be rather jumpy and unpredictable and I have not been able to make the scroll or zoom features work at all. I have an Ipod Touch so I thought it would be the same idea, and according to the manual directions it should work the same way, but the netbook pad does not respond in the same way my Ipod touchsreen does. All in all, though, I’m very happy with this netbook. There are plenty of UBS ports and the battery lasts and lasts.

Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Caribbean Yellow Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life Review

Delivery was fantastic; the product arrived @ two weeks earlier than the estimate. The initial setup went OK, but it was like flying in nighttime fog with no instruments, because there were NO instructions! There was a small brochure in about six languages that had general topics, but NOTHING that could remotely be interpreted as an installation guide. I’m hoping things will be on an uphill swing, after I get the additional memory installed (for which there were also no instructions).

Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX/P 10-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Works well. The design looks good. I put extra memory, change the original 1 gb for 2gb but I think Windows 7 is a little “heavy”.

HP Mini 210-1099SE 10.1-Inch Vivienne Tam Edition Netbook - 4.25 Hours of Battery Life Review

I am very pleased with this netbook. It runs beautifully, and actually has a battery life closer to five hours rather than the 4.25 stated by Amazon.

Acer AO532h-2588 10.1-Inch Onyx Blue Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

This is a great machine for what it is: a highly portable device for basic computing tasks. With windows 7, it boots up faster than my Core2 Duo desktop that runs windows vista. It is perfect for traveling as it takes up little space and provides great battery life. I find that the advertised battery life is pretty accurate if you aren’t maxing out the processor all the time. It runs netflix streaming movies with the base configuration, but could use more RAM. I will probably upgrade to 2gb in the future. Design is sleek and feels very sturdy. I can’t give it 5 stars because of the RAM, and the fact that mcafee hogs computing resources, but you can’t go wrong with this system if you are in the market for a netbook.

HP Mini 210-1080NR 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - 9.75 Hours of Battery Life Review

I purchased the HP mini because I am on the go all of the time, so I needed something light and portable.
Overall this Mini performs pretty well, I had to upgrade the memory because the 1g was insufficient.
I like the extended battery life but do not really like how far the battery pack sticks out.
The netbook came loaded with a bunch of unnecessary junk software that I had to remove to improve the performance.
I tried to run HP QuickSync but when I loaded it on my other computer it told me that I have already used my allocated number and needed to purchase more licenses. I still haven’t resolved this with HP.
Overall the Mini works well, although I am not sure whether the small computer is worth the sacrifice for portability.
