ASUS EEE 1101HA review

The ASUS EEE 1101HA is the epitomization of good looks combined with great battery life. It carries the same Seashell design like its 10-inch brother, EEE 1008HA. But, the ASUS has entering a bit late into the 11.6-inch netbook market, but that does not make it an unattractive deal by any chance. It is a great netbook.

Acer AO751H REVIEW (same as Acer LT3000) (Acer Aspire One 751)

With so many netbook manufactures now breaking into the 10-inch+ screen limit, Acer was no way going to left behind in the business where it actually rules.The Acer A0751H is the first Acer Aspire One to sport an Intel Atom Z 520 processor that is clocked at 1.3GHz. However, the best part of this netbook is its resolution: 1366 x 768 px, which gives it an obvious edge over its competitors. So, was it able to impress us?

Google Chrome OS/Chromium OS (beta) quick review

Soon, we will see myriad of manufactures coming up with Chromium netbooks: the netbooks that run Google Chrome OS. We managed to get hold of a beta copy from you-know-where and tried it using Virtual machine.

Here is the login screen of the Chrome OS. Google has kept it simple. You need to have a Gmail account in order to login. After all, this is a Google OS and to use Google Services like Gtalk, Google Docs and Gmail, you need to have a Google account.

2

No “submit” button or cancel button. Just press enter to log-in. Note that we were on a WiFi network when testing Chrome OS.

6

It opens your gmail immediately after you log-in.

1

Everything is organized into tabs. At first glance, it would look like a plain-jane web-browser to anybody. But, it is actually not. It is a full-brown OS whose image file is well over 700MB.

3

Cloud Apps

Here, you can manage the touchpad’s sensitivity and speed.

4

Oddly, in the below screenshot, it says that Google cannot determine the default browser. :)

5

The start up was somewhere between 10 seconds. It did not feel speedy, but then we were testing it under Virtual machine, which does not run operating systems at mind-blowing speeds.

Chrome OS will run on both ARM and X86 infrastructures which means that it could make its way to MIDs as-well-as phones. This increases the probability of acceptance of Chrome OS by the OEMs and manufactures. The Chromium OS is cool and fresh. With a push from a huge company like Google, it won’t be a tough task for Google to make this project a success
