Szmovi P610 – HP Mini 1000 clone

It seems that there is a need to make website on clone netbooks and smartbooks, because every now and then we get acquainted with the different replicas and clones of various netbooks. The Szmovi P610 10.1-inch netbook looks exactly like the HP Mini 1000.

With a price tag of $352, it comes with an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB RAM, integrated 3G and a 320GB HDD and 1.3MP webcam. Even the display resolution is same: 1024×576. However, with a smaller capacity battery (2-cell), do not expect it even cross 1.5 hours.

Sharp Mebius PC-Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A has a display on its Trackpad!

The Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A is a mini-laptop/netbook that comes with an 10-inch screen display resolution, 1024 x 600 display and 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, which is generally found in an average netbook. But, in this new Sharp netbook, you will find something extra-ordinary, not found in any netbooks: a 4-inch, 854 x 480 pixel touchscreen display instead of a trackpad.

It works like a standard touchpad and also as a secondary display. Price is not at all netbook-ish. This netbook will cost you over $1000!

Unfortunately, it has a tiny shift key on the right side of keyboard which might give you problem while typing. The PC-NJ70A also ships with Windows 7 Home Basic instead of Windows XP. So, even though you are spending $1000, you get a basic version! It does not make sense at all

Samsung and Dell working on 11.6-inch netbooks

Looks like the era of 11-inches mini laptops has landed. Perhaps that is the reason that every netbook manufacture is now releasing 11.6-inch netbooks everyday or so. Reports are now coming that Samsung and Dell are now working on an 11.6-incher. Both will have a display resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels.

Unfortunately, do to Microsoft OS policy, the netbook manufactures are not able to use the ‘fast’ Atom N270/N280 processor in the netbooks that are more than 10.2-inches. They are forced to use the slower Atom Z520 processor that runs at a comparatively slower speed of 1.3GHz.

When we reviewed the Acer Aspire 751, we found that although the processor was able to handle the Windows XP OS fairly well, the boot up and shut down times were more than what we would want them to be.
