On the other hand, we have the Diamond, which has 2.8-inch display with VGA (640x480) resolution.I still like my HTC DIAMOND. But perhaps, I'm hardly fair when I say that. I leave it to the folks at WindowsPhoneMix.com to decide that.Click here to read the full article]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/htc-touch-diamond-compared-to-htc-touch-diamond-2-windowsphonemix-com/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/acer-aspire-one-751h-compared-with-packard-bell-dot-ma/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/acer-aspire-one-751h-compared-with-packard-bell-dot-ma/#comments Sun, 23 Aug 2009 07:26:10 +0000 Brooke http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=8182 Netbook Italia (Italian) has done some serious comparison between the Acer 751H netbook and Packpard Bell Dot netbook.

• both have 1GB of RAM and 160GB HDD with 5400 rpm
• graphics – Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 500 for the Aspire One 751H and ATI Radeon X1270 for the Dot M/A, thus making the Packcard Bell more powerful than the Acer 751H.
• same ports and interfaces, 5-in-1 card reader, audio jacks, USB ports, WiFi b/g
• The Aspire One 751H come with a WEAKER Intel Z520 Atom processor whereas the Dot M netbook comes with an AMD Athlon 64 L110 a 1.2GHz. Despite slower clock speed, it is actually FASTER and more POWERFUL.
• However, the Packard Bell netbook comes with Vista Home Basic or Premium as OS which is slower than the Windows XP OS that comes with the Aspire One 751H
• same 6-cell battery in both of the netbooks

It is equipped with an 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 CPU. The Gigabyte TouchNote T1028x will be the successor of old Gigabyte TouchNote T1028M. This machine has better screen (in terms of resolution), bigger keyboard and faster processor. It also has 160GB HDD and an Express card slot and has a pretty affordable price tag of $698.Comparison between Gigabyte T1028 and the newer Gigabyte T1028x:

1. T1028x has faster processor (N280 versus N270)
2. More spacious hard disk (160GB versus 80GB)
3. Better screen: T1028 has 1024x600 pixel resolution screen whereas the T1028x has 1366x768 pixel resolution screen.

• Multitask: According to MS, you cannot multi task on a netbook. Right now, I am multi tasking fairly nicely on my EEE 1000H with concurrently running Photoshop CS3, 2 Firefox Windows with each having 8 tabs and WMP 11 (running in the background playing my favorite tunes). No hiccups.
• Create and Edit Videos: I use Windows Movie Maker all the time on my EEE 1000H and it works great for video editing on the go
• Encode Music: I use Goldwave application to edit music and apply filters on the music and I do not face any particular slowdowns
• Watch HD movies: 1080p with coreavc codec. 'nuff said

Keyboard: Immediately when you open the lid, you will see that the keyboard has undergone a huge change. Gone is the small right shift key which was placed at somewhat awkward location. The placement of right shift key is more natural now. Also, the location where the right shift key was present in 1000H is not taken by another function (fn) key. The ASUS representative there told me that this will let the consumer use the PageUp and PageDown buttons with one hand. Although, I doubt that one can hold this 1.4kg+ machine for a long time with one hand.

Battery: The EEE 1000H is quite famous for its great battery life thanks to its huge 6600mAh battery, which promised 5-6h of continuous usage. The EEE 1000HE comes with even more capacity (8700mAh). I expected it to be a lot bigger than the 6600mAh one, but it was marginally bigger than it. ASUS claims that it should give 8+ hours of usage and I agree with them.

Processor: The EEE 1000HE comes with a N280 processor, which is 60MHz faster than the N270 that is used in the 1000H. I did not feel any noticeable difference though.

To me, the biggest change is the keyboard. After using it for 3 minutes, I had already become accustomed to the new location of the right shift key. Does the new shift key arrangement makes a difference to me? No. The reason is that I do not use the right shift key much. I made the required change in my typing habits ever since I got my first EEE, which was EEE 701, which also had the small right shift key. So, when I moved to 1000H (I still have my 701), the right shift key did not bother me much.So, the question arises, whether you should upgrade to the new EEE 1000HE. The answer is simple. If you own an EEE or another netbook, where you find the right shift key annoying and you cannot work without it, then you may go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, if you are accustomed to the right shift key or do not use it much, then you should instead get an extended battery for you existing netbook. However, it is different story if you have few hundred dollars begging to be spent.]]> http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/difference-between-eee-1000h-and-eee-1000he/feed/ 2 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/eee-s101-vs-sony-vaio-tz-not-a-netbook-battle/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/eee-s101-vs-sony-vaio-tz-not-a-netbook-battle/#comments Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:29:26 +0000 Peter http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=3529 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/eee-s101-vs-sony-vaio-tz-not-a-netbook-battle/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/would-the-netbooks-die-in-near-future/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/would-the-netbooks-die-in-near-future/#comments Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:52:27 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=3007 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/would-the-netbooks-die-in-near-future/feed/ 1 http://gadgetmix.com/news/palm-treo-pro-review-huge-review/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/palm-treo-pro-review-huge-review/#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:36:25 +0000 Ashley http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=2726 http://gadgetmix.com/news/palm-treo-pro-review-huge-review/feed/ 3 http://gadgetmix.com/umpc/fujitsu-u820-3g-for-just-1199-with-att-broadband-connection/ http://gadgetmix.com/umpc/fujitsu-u820-3g-for-just-1199-with-att-broadband-connection/#comments Mon, 22 Dec 2008 21:19:04 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=2065 http://gadgetmix.com/umpc/fujitsu-u820-3g-for-just-1199-with-att-broadband-connection/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-1000h-vs-s101-comparison/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-1000h-vs-s101-comparison/#comments Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:03:09 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1524 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-1000h-vs-s101-comparison/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-904ha-review-warning-biggg-review/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-904ha-review-warning-biggg-review/#comments Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:38:50 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1428 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/asus-eee-904ha-review-warning-biggg-review/feed/ 124 http://gadgetmix.com/news/so-you-thought-xperia-gave-better-web-experience-no-touch-pro-is-better/ http://gadgetmix.com/news/so-you-thought-xperia-gave-better-web-experience-no-touch-pro-is-better/#comments Sun, 23 Nov 2008 08:16:03 +0000 Kamal DS http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=1389 http://gadgetmix.com/news/so-you-thought-xperia-gave-better-web-experience-no-touch-pro-is-better/feed/ 0 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/much-required-comparison-will-the-asus-1000h-replace-my-good-ol-asus-eee-pc-701/ http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/much-required-comparison-will-the-asus-1000h-replace-my-good-ol-asus-eee-pc-701/#comments Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:50:55 +0000 Paul Merak http://gadgetmix.com/index/?p=922 http://gadgetmix.com/netbook/much-required-comparison-will-the-asus-1000h-replace-my-good-ol-asus-eee-pc-701/feed/ 0
