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

Sony VAIO VPC-W211AX/P 10-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
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!!!!!!!!
SONY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THEIR APPEARANCE, MODELS INTERIOR, AND STAND BY THE SONY NAME WITH EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!

Samsung N140-14B 10.1-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - Up to 7.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
Amazing quality finish. Battery life exceeded my expectations, between 8 and 11 hours and no lost charge when off.
Excellent keyboard. Snappy performance. Nice matt screen.
2 downs are touchpad could have been slightly bigger, and screen res could have been 768 high instead of 600. Otherwise everything else is perfect.

ASUS Eee PC T91MT 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC T91MT 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook - 5 Hours of Battery Life
This is my first netbook and it’s really more than I imagined. The touch screen works very well in all modes and I use it mainly for reading in the tablet mode. The keyboard took a little getting used to due to its size but its very useable. The 32GB memory is working well for me and I plan to add another 16GB memory card in the SD Reader slot just for pictures, documents and movies. She runs pretty fast with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and is no slouch when playing installed videos and YouTube downloads. All in all I’m very happy with the unit.

Acer AOD250-1515 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Acer AOD250-1515 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
This is a nice little netbook with ample battery life, giving you freedom to roam around. I bought this item for my wife to replace an aging HP nc4010 that had served us well. My wife loves this thing, it is snappy for all her purposes, which is mostly browsing the web. The integrated webcam is great, and it works great for video calls over skype. I took one star of the rating, because the machine only comes with 1 Gb of memory, whereas 2 Gb are needed if you want to open more than a couple of programs at a time.

Samsung N120-12GW 10.1-Inch White Netbook - 6 Cell Battery Review

Samsung N120-12GW 10.1-Inch White Netbook - 6 Cell Battery
I love the white color, love the keyboard, love the mousepad. Really like that it comes with directions, and a back-up disk. The function buttons are nicely labled, and there is a built in numberic keypad, very cool. I didn’t think I could go from a 15.6 inch notebook to a 10 inch netbook, it has been very easy. I love the portability, light weight. Everything is great, except the power cord plugs in on the left, which seems odd but is not a big deal. I’m planning to upgrade the memory to 2 gig which is the max (a small dissapointment). I’m getting around 6 hours on the battery which is fine for me to tote around the house. The keyboard was what made me buy this brand/model, I had a stroke 10 yrs ago and lost a bit of control over the last 2 fingers on my right hand. Comfortable keyboard is everything to me. My previous notebook (Acer Timeline) had the new flat keys, wasn’t very comfortable and smudged terribly. This Samsung is darn near perfect!

Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I’ve owned this sweet computer for about 2 months now. I bought it initially because I coach a High School Varsity Debate team, and we needed portable research ability at a reasonable price. It is now my constant companion. The battery life is amazing, the picture quality is awesome, and it functions at excellent speed. I had no trouble adjusting to Windows 7, most of the features are intuitive if you have ever used any other Windows system. I have a Verizon wireless card, and have connected in such out of the way places as the beach, a high school cafeteria in a rural area, and hotels with no wireless service. It is capable of running multiple functions with ease, and is light weight and so portable. Love it.
