Nokia Booklet 3G - First Look
Is Nokia's "mini-laptop" just another netbook? 3 September 2009 13:49 GMT- The Good
- Nice hardware and design, decent specs
- The Bad
- At the pricey end for a netbook product
- Verdict
- Nokia is insisting on calling the Booklet 3G a "mini-laptop", rather than a netbook. This is in part to help persuade consumers to part with the £500 Nokia is asking for the device (twice the price of many netbooks) but if its long-term performance is as positive as our brief hands-on was, that term might do the device more justice than just "netbook"

Asus Eee PC T91 notebook
The tablet netbook touches down
3 June 2009 9:00 GMT
- The Good
- Netbook computer and tablet computer in one, touchscreen abilities, thinnest 8.9-inch netbook around
- The Bad
- Might be seen as gimmicky by some, screen is rather loose and not fixed down in tablet mode
- Verdict
- As an entirely new concept in netbooks it’s a brave move for Asus to combine a touchscreen portable computer and a tablet-based PC together. On the other hand, we found the T91 very useful and ideally suited as a tablet PC when compared to the much larger screened versions of yesteryear

- £1695

- £449
-
