Reviewing laptop is really a great thing to do if you are enthusiastic about technology but it also takes a lot of hard work
. I run a blog which covers reviews of all the latest notebooks and Netbooks in the market and I have to spend a lot of time testing them in order to make sure my readers know what they are going to purchase.
Dell is also one of my favorite brands and I really liked the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook that the manufacturer sent in to my labs for reviewing. The screen size is typical of a Netbook ten inches. The V in the model name stands for Value and this Netbook is made for people on a stiff budget. Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook is powered by an Intel Atom N270 CPU of 1.6 GHz and the non N version has faster Atom Z530. I tested the battery life of this Netbook and it lived for five hours and 45 minutes in my lab tests on a six cell battery. The Netbook has VGA port, SD card reader and three USB jacks. There are two main options for $25 more, you will get 802.11n Wi-Fi and for $20 more, you get Bluetooth. Dell is known to give tons of configuration options for its products and it is something that I really like. There is not much scope for expansion here since this is a Netbook but you can still opt for a bigger 160 GB hard disk for $25 and a faster processor Intel Atom N280 for the same price
Writing Sony laptop reviews is different from brand noteobooks, they are bit expensive and are targeted especially for upmarket people. Inexpensive Sony Vaio laptops are quite rare in the market and you will be lucky if you find one. The latest product from that I reviewed from this manufacturer was the Sony Vaio VPCP11S1E/P and I was intrigued by the small size of the laptop. I have written a lot of Sony laptop reviews before this but I have was lost of words while writing about this laptop. The screen of this computer is very tiny at just eight inches but you get a resolution of 1,600x768 pixels. I have never seen small screens carry this big resolution. I certainly welcome a bigger since it gives more room to work on the screen but everything on this screen was really tiny. There is a button to bump the resolution up but when it pressed that, things got really blurry.
If you are really keen on Netbooks, I will recommend you to take a look at some of the Asus Eee PC laptop that are there in the market. Asus started the whole Netbook tradition and it is one of the biggest Netbook makers in the market right now. The latest Asus Eee PC laptop that I tested in my labs was the Asus Eee PC 1005PR. It was a 10 inch Netbook with an HD screen and inside there was all required HD hardware inside the Netbook.
